  • Yes... after 14 years, it finally happened. I hit a wall... my brain froze up... my creativity seized... I BURNED OUT!
    But I WILL be back soon, on that you can depend. I'm a content creator. I couldn't stop making content if I tried. How do I know this? Because I have tried before.

      Cheers, Geggs. I will.
      I can already feel the excitement returning. I just have to resist it until I know what I'm doing, and how I'm planning to do it.

    It bears repeating that you could make paint drying or grass growing or, gods help me, even golf entertaining. It's your unique style, those wonderful voices and characters, that irrepressible sense of humor that brought me here. And it is those qualities that will keep me coming back. As long as you're here doing what you do, making me laugh, making me smile, making me forget the burdens and bullshit that threaten to grind me into dust, I will be here, with joy and love and deepest gratitude. No matter WHAT that is. Or how often you do it.

      Thank you, as always, my friend. I should tell you that yours has become one of the voices in my head, when thinking about my channel.
      I just kept taking a break to shake up the channel, and then coming back and falling into the same pattern over and over again. Nothing was changing, so this time around... I'm taking as much time as I need.
      There will still be game update videos while I'm taking this time off, because I have to just make those whenever they come along, but the real changes to my content won't come until I return properly.
      As I've said many times before, my biggest problem is not thinking of what to make, but my brain's stubborn refusal to STOP making a certain kind of content. That's the battle I'm going to face when I return. Choosing 2 or 3 types of gaming content and convincing my brain that it must NOT veer off into the woods making a dozen other types of thing, because I saw something shiny in the bushes.
      It sounds like a small thing, I'm sure... but it a real struggle for me, and it has hurt this channel more than anything else.
      There's LOTS of content I would love to make, but it's just too... all over the place, and it's long past time for me to reel that in and focus.
      Your comments, as ever, are deeply appreciated.

      Thank you. I am grateful to have been able to contribute in some small fashion. With that in mind, here are a few simple words of encouragement:
      I have come to believe that the struggle is the true achievement. What follows is the reward. Enjoy this time - reframe your vision; embrace your art.

    My friend SK, your content and inspiring approach to producing said content has helped me push through some of my own struggles. Currently, I couldn’t identify more with this video and the struggles you are going through. I will always be here in the best capacity possible for you and whatever you need. You always inspire me with ideas and a desire for producing gaming content and the community you have built is so amazing, inviting and supportive. I couldn’t ask for anything more. Thanks for being you and I’ll see you soon 🤘🏼🤘🏼

    You poor bastard its easier to to climb Patrick's hill than it is to deal with what you're dealing with. Like I've previously said this community won't leave you. You could leave for a decade and we'd still watch the video you released. Also I want to thank you for the short time and great experiences I've had engaging with you , eldar, gimboid, Baron, GW and all the others. Your kcd review was what convinced my parents to let me but it. And that game has helped me from her difficult times. I would like to thank you for that.
    I wish you all the best for the future.
