Vincent has always been kind and respectful to me- and I genuinely think he's entertaining. I do believe he can turn his career around for the better, but it would take a lot of work. Unfortunately a lot of his past will haunt him forever but I'd love to see him make better changes for himself. Great video Jack, always looking forward to the next
Appreciate you Fancy, huge shout-out as well for Regional Warfare. For the viewers reading this comments section, this event really helped bring the documentary together to see Vincent live, and fighting against the GA clan throughout it.
Vincent can and will better himself- I believe it. At his core he's a great dude and is genuinely entertaining. His past and unique style of content makes his road to success much more narrow and hard to find, but he has shown a certain ability to self reflect and improve which I think will ultimately get him to where he wants to be. Great video Jack!
Thanks for your support Stevie! Yeah I hope Vincent can turn it around as well, I agree that his content is like no other when it comes to his energy for Rust hopefully he can use that in the future for a positive way.
vincent is an extremely entertaining person and as someone with a past where I had anger issues/wasn't exactly the best person to multiple people, People grow up... dude can hopefully channel some of his energy into surrounding himself with better people and not associating with low hanging fruit. great video jack
Glad you enjoyed the watch, I try my best to show the bigger picture. I feel we often only think about what the outcomes are, rather then investigating the cause of those outcomes which is always more complicated. I hope to see a MrWobbles x SMG collab one of these days, haha.
Hope you enjoyed dookk, I never thought I'd be looking at Vincent for 10-12 hours a day for the past few weeks and watching hundred of clips either lol. This was surely a memorable project haha.
the clip at 0:10 is after i killed him with silenced AK and he turned off the stream for the night. was really sad tbh it was my first ever interaction with him and only found out about it cause he commented on my profile afterwards.

you're clearly not a psychiatrist or even medical behavioral specialist so I have to ask, what makes your comments in your video correct? An edited video with a radio voice doesn't make this video 100% accurate. What is a more narcissist behavior since you like to come accross as an expert. Someone who rages over a video game where the main content is at the end of the day, his main income. Or some douchebag that went through hundreds of hours with a clear hatred bias of someone to make a 20 minute video about.
Great video, I dont even want to know how many hours this took to make. I personally like vincent and he has raided me on twitch like 5 times and always been super kind. I think he rly means well, I hope to see him get to the top
Appreciate you man, sorry for the delay on our messages caught me in the middle of the edit so I'm going to get back to you lol. But yeah would love to see Vincent with a caring fanbase and a better life outlook, but only time will tell.
Love the true crime vibe. Seen a few clips of Vincent in the past - enjoyed learning more about his background outside his crazy stream antics. Wish him the best. Great vid!
Appreciate you Dyl! Haha, yeah there's always more to the story then what we see / hear about. Vincent is honestly one of the most interesting characters in our community.
This is a good documentary, I honestly think Vincent can turn it around like tyler1 and actually have a positive come up, and genuinely it is sad to see someone like Vincent go through things like pains in his body and having not so good of a childhood and his town that he lived in. but just with right guidance and him having to find himself and working out his mental state he can genuinely have a lot of a better time on being a more successful streamer and actually get place where he wants to be. nice job on the video it was really good!
Really glad you enjoyed Dobtu, there's an interesting part of the video that didn't make the cut, but I thought you might find interesting. Is during our interview we talked about art, and how Twitch can be an outlet, I think the emotions/feelings of growing up dealing with responsibilities in general is something everyone struggles with, where it makes Vincent interesting is he will openly express his frustration and insecurities to a live audience where most of us battle the voice in our heads. I really hope he does realize that, he has a future, the fact he's still able to proceed with playing Rust and streaming is a miracle, I hope he takes advantage of it.
This was cool, i actually remembered this dude and didn't know the whole back story.. Rust has some interesting people, like that guy Shots. I don't understand how someone can daily upload/stream for 5yrs or something like
I love that you make videos on things like this because rust does have history within the community and the game. its just not like any other game. ready for the nxt vid
Appreciate you Slumpd, yeah there's a lot more then what meets the eyes. For a lot of us this is really a place online that we call home and like to spend our time. A huge reason I started making these videos because I could never really explain to people in my IRL all this crazy stuff we get to witness through a video game. Happy to have done all you guys justice! Will see you on the next release.
I feel so sorry for him, he's just a kid who had a hard upbringing which formed him into the man we see today. I truly hope for the best for him and his family.
Thanks for the video, you got a sub. Even if i had no idea about Vincent or that rust community, but your research and story telling skills are top notch. keep it up. : )
Damn I had no idea he was having it that rough before he started streaming, I remember when I discovered him just randomly scrolling through Twitch and I found him at 0 views new to streaming. He was such an odd interesting entertaining character, I sniped him for a bit and he gave thee most hilarious reactions comparable to being as funny and loud as Tyler1 and shared those clips around of me messing with him for a bit (nothing too bad, just all in fun) I just had a feeling he was good enough to be a content machine. but it's sad he's gone down somewhat of a dark path. I don't really watch him much but I hear about him time from time. He isn't much of a bad person when I met him, he was really nice and humble but I really feel like it's the people he surrounds himself with is what really changed him. He had little to no moderation and gave too much freedom to his viewers which nearly nuked his career for good. I hope he finds a good balance and can start his redemption arc. He's a pretty funny dude, hope he can turn it around. good video btw!
Awesome insight here Bob, I think we all appreciate you writing this. Yeah as questionable as it might be for some viewers watching Vincent's rage and insecurity, the irony is this is how a lot of people feel when playing Rust or just dealing with their general struggles in life, Vincent's just the one to not have a filter and actually act on them, which is wrong in many ways. I hope if I ever follow up on Vincent for another video, it's a positive one. Guy's put himself way too much hell already not to turn it around.
played with vincent throughout lockdown, he genuinely is a good guy with a good heart, built a good friendship with the guy to this day we still speak occasionally, he really did make covid alot better for me cause he brought me into his clan when i was fairly new to the clan scene, always showed respect off cam and on cam (sometimes) only time he would be an asshole to you is if you did something fucked up but he is a great guy.
lol I was there when he broke his headset, before he moved to garage. He raged but it was hilarious and he was chill. Crazy to see he blew up like this
Another high quality video man! Also great to see that you are getting the recognition you deserve, so few people realise how many hours of research and editing these types of videos take, very few content creators out there that put this amount of dedication into their videos and i love to see it! Keep up the great work Jack!
Welcome back d0ge! Thank you so much man, this comment made my day. I think there's a quote often said that people don't see the work behind the scenes. I appreciate your understanding on it, these projects tend to be really hard at some points, but seeing the enjoyment you guys from these videos, makes this stuff worth doing. :) Look forward to seeing you in the next one!
Always good seeing you Haddock, excited to share part 3 with you. Depending on how things perform here, totally going to consider a Lucroan video. I just don't he be as open to discussing.
Jack well done. I feel like after watching this video I can see more clearly now, the path that he is on. Love the question you asked at the end to close it out a good message to everyone only he can choose what direction he goes in.
Appreciate you Scout, glad your enjoying the videos. Yeah a lot of people might not know this, but as much as that section was for the viewer, it really was for Vincent. He's really not in the worst place to make things better, but he's the only one who can write his story.
so weird to see a video essay on someone my group has not only fought on occasions, but have raided and been raided by. I imagine a lot of people have also had the "pleasure" of running into his zergs.
Another great and well made video Jack! I love watching these doco style videos on rust content creators / streamers. Gives me a whole different perspective and understanding on the person and it’s cool to see their back story. Thanks for giving us an insight! ☺️
I played with SMG for almost an entire year and I can say he is a good guy. Personally, I do think the extreme anger is truly a façade, but that is my opinion. I still moderate in his discord, his streaming platforms, and even pop in to play a wipe with them every now and them. His viewers that come after him maliciously via doxxing or stream sniping pushes him off the edge sometimes. Half of the reason he reacts like this is constantly being cheated on from younger kids who thinks that stuff is funny. I believe that if he could manage to control his reactions, the trolling will stop and it may launch his career even farther. Altogether, great video jack.
This is a very well made video, nice work. First time I saw his stream was during the region warfare event and I clicked off within a few minutes. Freaking out over stuff isn't my kind of content but to each his own, some people clearly enjoy it. Hope he can turn it around, I wish him the best.
Appreciate you Kellis! Yeah experiencing the SMG Clan fighting against GA on the Regional warfare event firsthand really helped me tie this story together for that event, I think he has a chance still, but he's the only one who can figure it out.
asw someone who has 11.4k hours on rust i can relate, iv had full blown mental brake downs and melt downs over this game. thats why i quit and havent touched it in 3 years
Hey really appreciate this comment itsed, it's always a journey for these videos to know how they will eventually be perceived. I'm happy to hear I was able to you guys justice.
First of all- amazing work on the video. Your editing and presentation is truly on another level and so many hours put into it really shows. I believe in second chances and I hope that community will slowly influence Vincent to change his path, he is still such a young player with turbulent life. Love what you do, I look forward to your next documentary :)
Thank you so much for your support Monstera! I'm a big fan of you and DaVinci's work it's one of the things I look forward to seeing on X. I still think he has a chance, the last segment of this video was really a message to Vincent that it's not too late, hopefully if we ever follow up on this video, it's a positive thing. :)
We did a few wipes together back in the day man, bonded over "previously, on lost" memes and the like. I forget why we stopped jamming together, I don't think it was on great terms, just wanted to say loving the content and stoked to see you smashing it all these years later man. Keep killing it. IDK what my name was back then, whether it was this or "The Fallen Neo".
Amazing video Jack, A couple of years ago I remember starting over my rust carrer after playing with Horse gang I played with Vincent when had 30-40 views and he won’t admit it but I carried him to one of his best vinalla wipes he will ever have such as fast base progression, defending online raids from horse gang, and dominating. Vincent has been a great friend and idle to me and I still belive he has time to make a change for the greater good. Thank you Vincent for being a great inspiration and thank you Jack for making amazing content!
Sunny I will not forget the first wipe the Villa came back on Rustoria during the summer of 2023 before Vincent got banned, and we kicked you out only for everyone to say you were going to get SMG to raid us. Hahaha. In all seriousness, appreciate the heartfelt comment man glad you enjoyed it.
I feel like he can definitely turn his reputation around. He has the humor and ability to do so, I 100% agree that he could explode in popularity if he channeled that rage into content rather than controversy. He just needs to learn to control how he responds to situations that make him rage, lol.
Appreciate your support on this one. Yeah the abilities Vincent has to entertain are hard to come by, I think just changing the direction of the things he's angry about will make a huge difference. Honestly I would probably wouldn't mind a similar excitement for getting happy about things lol.
as someone who played with Vincent for a almost half a decade, He is not a bad dude what so ever, I live halfway across the world and this guy called me on my birthday after I haven't talked to him in maybe a year . at the end of the day its all about rusts community and it will never change.
Thanks for all your support Silent, you were a true hero here for the quality of the video with some of the smaller changes made a huge difference, really appreciate your feedback.
I always felt Vincent was a victim of his own success, he is the what we could call as a stereotype "a rust kid", and like most of them, he shouts, he explodes, etc. But he's also genuinely a good kid, who found support from some and harassment from others. The thing about these young streamers like vincent, a1dan and others is that you witness their glow up, how they mature and grow. Vince, if you see this, keep your chin up, keep yourself on the right path and become the man you wish to be. Stay safe
Yeah I think Vincent expresses a lot of the emotions we have daily playing Rust or dealing with life in general, but compared to most of us suppressing them, Vincent isn't afraid to let you know how he feels. He's still got a huge chance to turn things around.
Yeah, it's something I strive to show for all my work. There's always good or bad things in life, but the reason those things happen are always a lot complicated then outcome itself. Glad you enjoyed man.
Vincent might be the most funniest streamer in rust and I loved playing with him for a while, hope he doesn't get hated that much anymore after that clarification
Just a dude who went through some bs as a child and didn’t properly take care of the trauma. I’m sure he will turn this around before it gets to bad. Always a big wake up call somewhere in life
Ah man should interview me or some the ogs that used to play with him in 2021. SMG clan actually started in the middle or end of 2021. I started playing Vincent since November of 2021. I started noticing the corruption of rustoria of cheater stream sniping and every time we reported them they admins gave us automatic message of saying there is no suspension with this player. The Hjune part someone started spreading remorse about Vincent to sabotage his chances to getting twitch content creators stream events. Unfortunately there are moments Vincent could have done better of be careful what he says in streams and other people. He is genuinely a good guy out side of streaming in fact he been supported me by praying when i was personally facing my darkest moments in my life.
you know i wondered why i didnt see him on rusty moose anymore i remember seeing him 2020 promoting his stream i dont watch him but i always though it was cool that he kinda blew up goodluck to him
Appreciate you FreeTech. Yeah it's certainly trippy even for myself to see how far these stories have come, but I'm happy to know I've done you guys justice for these videos. Looking forward to seeing you in the next event!
Great video Jack, I personally do think Vincent is entertaining and I don't think he's a bad guy, just surrounded by the wrong people. Keep it up champ 👍
I'm considering on starting a podcast for Saturdays actually, bringing Vincent, KiNN some of the controversial characters of the community on as guests and you guys could call in with your trolling or questions haha, will have to see.
I play with them on Rustoria, and there is a lot of people with the SMG tag that will call you a slur, no clue if it’s them but it seems likely from what I’ve heard from them
Damn. Seeing some of my favorite Rust UA-camrs sticking up for him, I’ll give him a chance. But he’s got a lot of work to do for me to actually be ok with him
You might find it interesting to know my first video was all Omori music haha. I'm happy to revisit the soundtrack for this one, I felt it fit the theme well. It's one of the only games I've gotten all the achievements on, honestly one of a kind. Happy someone noticed.
@JackShephardTV I'll definitely check it out. Omori is definitely up there as one of my favorite games, and it is also one of the few I have gotten all achievements on.
everyone has a past, we can't blame each other for what we've done in our teenage years. yes, we have a brain, yes we are mature grown adults, yes we do have a live audience infront of us, but we all know what we want & like to watch. it's streamers like vincent. no one told tyler1 anything when he was hella toxic. hell think t1 was the most toxic streamer ever come to think about it lol. tl;dr people chance, give him a break, give him a chance to change. let him process things at his own pace. everyone on different timing. i had one hell of a bad past and ended up in jail so many times and prison once. doing drugs and all that, i've matured. i'm turning 25 still in uni but life is good. i'm at my own pace in my own lane not worried about none. great video btw liked and subbed
Hey man, thanks for sharing this heartfelt comment. Yeah it's a very unfortunate thing a lot of people having issues understanding different POVs, unless they've had the same experiences. And life can be really hard at some points, but I'm super happy to hear you've overcome your challenges, and hopefully Vincent can do the same.
Vincent’s real life streams lately have been entertaining and I enjoy seeing him just living life as calmly as he can … I truly hope he can find some peace and try to find a positive community for himself in Rust. He’s truly a great kid at his core.
I'm happy to see this as well, I had considered on doing the documentary right when a lot of these events happened, but you never get the full picture jumping the gun like that. I think as long as Vincent can learn from these events and not repeat them he has a super bright future ahead.
Most hated? Or most HATEFUL? This feels written in a way that tugs on every heartstring it can to downplay a pattern of bad behavior. Bro got banned from Rust FOR TOXICITY...
dont you feel bad for the guy the amount of trauma he experienced in real life just made him not care about online and sure he's made many mistakes with the d*xing and more but he doesn't deserve to be the most hated
u wouldnt resist the tauntings as much as he did , ppl revealed his irl location and his family s house and the school his sister goest to , he gets insided by someone every wipe , he gets streamsniped and ppl just try to anger him every time he streams
Dude all the support for Vincent by other rust youtubers is heartwarming. I feel most people would just tell him to quit because hes an asshole and has no future. But people see his past and realize that he just needs time.
I hope so as well, I honestly wish the best for all these controversial characters, a lot of the drama or the biggest life conflicts they have ultimately comes from the unawareness of how they're getting there.
Honestly dude just went with the flow of the wrong crowd. He seems like he has a pure heart but just way too much built up anger. It’s good he has people in his community trying to help him grow and to continue succeed.
Vincent has been one of the few streamers to actually respond to messages I send in their chat. Another one being CoconutB. Vincent has always been unbelievably nice to me. I believe the mean/angry thing is just an act honestly. Like that guy boogie from way back in the day.
i could always tell that vincent doesnt really mean harm himself, but rather he is a victim of circumstance. i hope he can turn his career around because clearly entertaining people is something he really loves
Yeah I really like take mrots, unfortunately a lot of us our driven out of our insecurity, Vincent hasn't felt the right means to deal with it yet, hopefully he does figure it out. Because deep down I would like to think he has everyone's best intentions.
Thanks so much for your clips Uzzziii, you were honestly a saving grace during editing hell. You have no idea how valuable that clip list was when I had to restart this project.
Vincent's pretty iconic in Toria Main, and even though his style of content resonates with angry teenagers, he really isn't one anymore, now is he... So we'll see a more tamed version of him in the future, or he'll snap, but he'll probably mellow out. Lol
![PC Master Race Explained in 9 minutes [Animated]](/img/n.gif)
Imagine being banned from Rust for toxicity...
yea thats kinda wild, they should uphold the same standards for the rest of their community
Then they wouldnt have a Community
@@sloppywood707 no, there would be no community left. only women and new players will be left in rust if that happends
@@29matttiLMFAO y’all are cooked
Made me laugh
Vincent has always been kind and respectful to me- and I genuinely think he's entertaining. I do believe he can turn his career around for the better, but it would take a lot of work. Unfortunately a lot of his past will haunt him forever but I'd love to see him make better changes for himself. Great video Jack, always looking forward to the next
I completely agree. Every interaction I've had with Vincent has been pleasant and memorable, and I really hope he makes a comeback of a lifetime.
Ahoy

No i had a very very bad experience with him by almost editing his videos he was extremely rude and underpaying greatly
@@daw8099 were you the dude that was meant to edit his solo video
You ever gonna drop pt 2 of your last video?
IT'S BEEN 4 MONTHS BRO
vincent is an extremely entertaining person and as someone with a past where I had anger issues/wasn't exactly the best person to multiple people, People grow up... dude can hopefully channel some of his energy into surrounding himself with better people and not associating with low hanging fruit.
great video jack
vincent is a dog both him and i have extremely low hanging fruits
Glad you enjoyed the watch, I try my best to show the bigger picture. I feel we often only think about what the outcomes are, rather then investigating the cause of those outcomes which is always more complicated. I hope to see a MrWobbles x SMG collab one of these days, haha.
never thought i would be watching a vincentsmg documentary
Hope you enjoyed dookk, I never thought I'd be looking at Vincent for 10-12 hours a day for the past few weeks and watching hundred of clips either lol. This was surely a memorable project haha.
Never thought I’d see dook in a rust comment section in 2024
Facts he shouldn't even be relevant enough for this lol
Very well said Jack. This was a nicely documented story shedding light on Vincent as a streamer and person. Keep up the good work man 🔥
Ahoy
Much thanks Brollow, thanks for your support man :)
I am sure i killed Vincent twice in my trap base.
the clip at 0:10 is after i killed him with silenced AK and he turned off the stream for the night. was really sad tbh it was my first ever interaction with him and only found out about it cause he commented on my profile afterwards.

When you posted the clip of him on Twitter screaming, I knew this was going to be a good video lol.
Na stimpee and Zany are actually funny. This guy is funny in the way that you laugh at crack heads
bro might be the only Rust player that can dunk, at least he got that
he need to just make mixtapes in his driveway

vincent is my favourite rust streamer…
When the duo happening⁉️
the duo would break the rust space

Kids in Africa grow up to become doctors. It is about how much you want to make it. Using your surroundings as a cop out is weak.

shots is Awesome, he is one of the people who got me into rust
Love Shots

All the other streamers giving vincent compliments instead of hate is so wholesome ❤

I feel so sorry for him, he's just a kid who had a hard upbringing which formed him into the man we see today. I truly hope for the best for him and his family.
He’s done all this to himself. He doesn’t deserve sympathy. He’s not a victim, he’s a narcissist.
Yoy are the problem with society today
@@jayfwe he literally just said that lmao
Ya let's keep enabling shitty behavior all because of upbringing. It's up to the individual to change IF THEY WANT TO FUCKING CHANGE.
Till this day, him and his group are still doxxing other rust players. I personally know 2 people that they doxxed.
Hi, I’m redpipola, vincent’s pro-balloon pilot who’s name you see 20:00. Vincent is actually pretty chill, I think he’s just playing a persona.

yeah most often max week
Man i was 100% certain this video was going to be about Lucroan hahaha
Great video tho man, as always ❤
Always good seeing you Haddock, excited to share part 3 with you. Depending on how things perform here, totally going to consider a Lucroan video. I just don't he be as open to discussing.
Jack well done. I feel like after watching this video I can see more clearly now, the path that he is on. Love the question you asked at the end to close it out a good message to everyone only he can choose what direction he goes in.
Appreciate you Scout, glad your enjoying the videos. Yeah a lot of people might not know this, but as much as that section was for the viewer, it really was for Vincent. He's really not in the worst place to make things better, but he's the only one who can write his story.
Vincent was a genuine nice guy when i was in the clan and never had true hate towards anyone
so weird to see a video essay on someone my group has not only fought on occasions, but have raided and been raided by. I imagine a lot of people have also had the "pleasure" of running into his zergs.
Another great and well made video Jack! I love watching these doco style videos on rust content creators / streamers. Gives me a whole different perspective and understanding on the person and it’s cool to see their back story. Thanks for giving us an insight! ☺️
Super glad you enjoyed. Yeah depending on how this peforms would love to cover some more Rust steamers in the future.
I played with SMG for almost an entire year and I can say he is a good guy. Personally, I do think the extreme anger is truly a façade, but that is my opinion. I still moderate in his discord, his streaming platforms, and even pop in to play a wipe with them every now and them. His viewers that come after him maliciously via doxxing or stream sniping pushes him off the edge sometimes. Half of the reason he reacts like this is constantly being cheated on from younger kids who thinks that stuff is funny. I believe that if he could manage to control his reactions, the trolling will stop and it may launch his career even farther. Altogether, great video jack.
This is a very well made video, nice work. First time I saw his stream was during the region warfare event and I clicked off within a few minutes. Freaking out over stuff isn't my kind of content but to each his own, some people clearly enjoy it. Hope he can turn it around, I wish him the best.
Appreciate you Kellis! Yeah experiencing the SMG Clan fighting against GA on the Regional warfare event firsthand really helped me tie this story together for that event, I think he has a chance still, but he's the only one who can figure it out.
asw someone who has 11.4k hours on rust i can relate, iv had full blown mental brake downs and melt downs over this game. thats why i quit and havent touched it in 3 years
Let’s run up a duo wipe
In a instant, I have unauthorized myself from tc, and lost my alcatraz base. . Face Punch deserve a slap !😢
Another banger from Jack. I remember chilling in the Villa with you, fun times.
imagine being SO toxic even in rust that the games ITSELF bans you
I never heard of this dude before but this video is extremely well made and entertaining, I ended up watching the entire video
Hey really appreciate this comment itsed, it's always a journey for these videos to know how they will eventually be perceived. I'm happy to hear I was able to you guys justice.
First of all- amazing work on the video. Your editing and presentation is truly on another level and so many hours put into it really shows.
I believe in second chances and I hope that community will slowly influence Vincent to change his path, he is still such a young player with turbulent life.
Love what you do, I look forward to your next documentary :)
Thank you so much for your support Monstera! I'm a big fan of you and DaVinci's work it's one of the things I look forward to seeing on X.
I still think he has a chance, the last segment of this video was really a message to Vincent that it's not too late, hopefully if we ever follow up on this video, it's a positive thing. :)
We did a few wipes together back in the day man, bonded over "previously, on lost" memes and the like. I forget why we stopped jamming together, I don't think it was on great terms, just wanted to say loving the content and stoked to see you smashing it all these years later man. Keep killing it. IDK what my name was back then, whether it was this or "The Fallen Neo".
Appreciate you guy, name sounds super familiar always down to catch up, just shoot me a message, hope your doing well too!
Insane video Shep, well done!
Thank you for your moral support tonight :)
where is colton... pick up the phone coltin
This video could help Vince realize that, he's surrounded with love and support.
Amazing video Jack, A couple of years ago I remember starting over my rust carrer after playing with Horse gang I played with Vincent when had 30-40 views and he won’t admit it but I carried him to one of his best vinalla wipes he will ever have such as fast base progression, defending online raids from horse gang, and dominating. Vincent has been a great friend and idle to me and I still belive he has time to make a change for the greater good. Thank you Vincent for being a great inspiration and thank you Jack for making amazing content!
sonny its idol dont make me spank you my boy
Sunny I want to touch your worm
real G
Sunny I will not forget the first wipe the Villa came back on Rustoria during the summer of 2023 before Vincent got banned, and we kicked you out only for everyone to say you were going to get SMG to raid us. Hahaha. In all seriousness, appreciate the heartfelt comment man glad you enjoyed it.
@@JackShephardTV I was joking lol
I feel like he can definitely turn his reputation around. He has the humor and ability to do so, I 100% agree that he could explode in popularity if he channeled that rage into content rather than controversy. He just needs to learn to control how he responds to situations that make him rage, lol.
Appreciate your support on this one. Yeah the abilities Vincent has to entertain are hard to come by, I think just changing the direction of the things he's angry about will make a huge difference. Honestly I would probably wouldn't mind a similar excitement for getting happy about things lol.
I enjoyed this quality content, thanks for another masterpiece Jack.
as someone who played with Vincent for a almost half a decade, He is not a bad dude what so ever, I live halfway across the world and this guy called me on my birthday after I haven't talked to him in maybe a year . at the end of the day its all about rusts community and it will never change.
Amazing video happy it turned out the way it did well done man i know how much work it was!
Thanks for all your support Silent, you were a true hero here for the quality of the video with some of the smaller changes made a huge difference, really appreciate your feedback.
Not everyones built the same, look at Tyler1.. you gotter love the villians. Stay humble, keep grinding. People still watch because it’s entertaining
Till this day, him and his group are still doxxing other rust players. I personally know 2 people that they doxxed.
I always felt Vincent was a victim of his own success, he is the what we could call as a stereotype "a rust kid", and like most of them, he shouts, he explodes, etc. But he's also genuinely a good kid, who found support from some and harassment from others. The thing about these young streamers like vincent, a1dan and others is that you witness their glow up, how they mature and grow.
Vince, if you see this, keep your chin up, keep yourself on the right path and become the man you wish to be.
Stay safe
Yeah I think Vincent expresses a lot of the emotions we have daily playing Rust or dealing with life in general, but compared to most of us suppressing them, Vincent isn't afraid to let you know how he feels. He's still got a huge chance to turn things around.
He is human like the rest of us, and life is crazy. No one knows his life but him, so don't be so quick to judge. 🙏
Yeah, it's something I strive to show for all my work. There's always good or bad things in life, but the reason those things happen are always a lot complicated then outcome itself. Glad you enjoyed man.
Class video Jack! Editing getting better and better.
Thank you my guy! Been watching a lot of your videos lately as well, rust console drama videos has been my new hobby lol.
Vincent might be the most funniest streamer in rust and I loved playing with him for a while, hope he doesn't get hated that much anymore after that clarification
goated video, normally im not a huge fan of video essays but this one really got a hook on me, keep up the great work brother
i was watching his rust stream yesterday and he seemed chill
Just a dude who went through some bs as a child and didn’t properly take care of the trauma. I’m sure he will turn this around before it gets to bad. Always a big wake up call somewhere in life
sending a white kid to an all black school should be considered child abuse fr
Ah man should interview me or some the ogs that used to play with him in 2021. SMG clan actually started in the middle or end of 2021. I started playing Vincent since November of 2021. I started noticing the corruption of rustoria of cheater stream sniping and every time we reported them they admins gave us automatic message of saying there is no suspension with this player. The Hjune part someone started spreading remorse about Vincent to sabotage his chances to getting twitch content creators stream events. Unfortunately there are moments Vincent could have done better of be careful what he says in streams and other people. He is genuinely a good guy out side of streaming in fact he been supported me by praying when i was personally facing my darkest moments in my life.
you know i wondered why i didnt see him on rusty moose anymore i remember seeing him 2020 promoting his stream i dont watch him but i always though it was cool that he kinda blew up goodluck to him
Errn left a comment on here you might enjoy reading, but yeah Vincent surely put in the work to make his career happen, hopefully he can entertain it.
I love the editing on this man. You're killing it. Keep it up 👍
orange dream im a subtle fan cuz
@@deeno123 thanks man! 😊
Deeno introduced me to your content btw. Appreciate you man been enjoying your recent work.
@@JackShephardTV very cool! You're a legend for that deeno. Much love Jack 😊
Amazing video as always! My favorite documentaries
Very very very interesting video. I love your approach on your rust related content it is very different then I have seen before.
Appreciate you FreeTech. Yeah it's certainly trippy even for myself to see how far these stories have come, but I'm happy to know I've done you guys justice for these videos. Looking forward to seeing you in the next event!
Great video Jack, I personally do think Vincent is entertaining and I don't think he's a bad guy, just surrounded by the wrong people. Keep it up champ 👍
Appreciate you Aspect! Yeah this is an ongoing story lol. I'm curious to see what Vincent will do here in the years to come.
Vincent is my favorite streamer, I don't know where I would be without him today. He saved my life. SMG WE'RE COMING IN !!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
All the time stamps of myself being featured in discord or team with vincent
19:45
18:55

Love you vincent ❤
another banger jack. Maybe one day you can do some interview videos
I'm considering on starting a podcast for Saturdays actually, bringing Vincent, KiNN some of the controversial characters of the community on as guests and you guys could call in with your trolling or questions haha, will have to see.
As PrinceVidz almost always says in his Rust videos.... "Why U MAD? It only game!"
People don’t understand Vincent is a really chill guy
I play with them on Rustoria, and there is a lot of people with the SMG tag that will call you a slur, no clue if it’s them but it seems likely from what I’ve heard from them
Damn. Seeing some of my favorite Rust UA-camrs sticking up for him, I’ll give him a chance. But he’s got a lot of work to do for me to actually be ok with him
I wouldn't wish this stuff on my worst enemy but Vincent is one of the most toxic and irritating rust streamers of all time.
i noticed the watch dogs soundtracks, mad respect
I never thought i would hear omori ost in a rust video. Actual GOAT right here. Keep up the 10/10 content.
You might find it interesting to know my first video was all Omori music haha. I'm happy to revisit the soundtrack for this one, I felt it fit the theme well. It's one of the only games I've gotten all the achievements on, honestly one of a kind. Happy someone noticed.
@JackShephardTV I'll definitely check it out. Omori is definitely up there as one of my favorite games, and it is also one of the few I have gotten all achievements on.
everyone has a past, we can't blame each other for what we've done in our teenage years. yes, we have a brain, yes we are mature grown adults, yes we do have a live audience infront of us, but we all know what we want & like to watch. it's streamers like vincent. no one told tyler1 anything when he was hella toxic. hell think t1 was the most toxic streamer ever come to think about it lol. tl;dr people chance, give him a break, give him a chance to change. let him process things at his own pace. everyone on different timing. i had one hell of a bad past and ended up in jail so many times and prison once. doing drugs and all that, i've matured. i'm turning 25 still in uni but life is good. i'm at my own pace in my own lane not worried about none. great video btw liked and subbed
Hey man, thanks for sharing this heartfelt comment. Yeah it's a very unfortunate thing a lot of people having issues understanding different POVs, unless they've had the same experiences. And life can be really hard at some points, but I'm super happy to hear you've overcome your challenges, and hopefully Vincent can do the same.
Vincent’s real life streams lately have been entertaining and I enjoy seeing him just living life as calmly as he can … I truly hope he can find some peace and try to find a positive community for himself in Rust. He’s truly a great kid at his core.
I'm happy to see this as well, I had considered on doing the documentary right when a lot of these events happened, but you never get the full picture jumping the gun like that. I think as long as Vincent can learn from these events and not repeat them he has a super bright future ahead.
The only thing I took away from this is "freezing McMuffins for dinner later" might be the funniest thing ever said in history
Hopefully SMG clan will be forgiven and given another chance!
Awesome video Jack thank you for your hard work!
The toxic bar in rust is already up there and this guy still go above and beyond to infinity
dude’s got heart issues? no shot, woulda never guessed
VincentSMG brings me joy! Great vid
Appreciate you Flinger! Good to see an OG here.
Most hated? Or most HATEFUL? This feels written in a way that tugs on every heartstring it can to downplay a pattern of bad behavior. Bro got banned from Rust FOR TOXICITY...
you sound like a hoe lol
hes so hateful ! we posed to be men what you want a hug niqqa?
dont you feel bad for the guy the amount of trauma he experienced in real life just made him not care about online and sure he's made many mistakes with the d*xing and more but he doesn't deserve to be the most hated
u wouldnt resist the tauntings as much as he did , ppl revealed his irl location and his family s house and the school his sister goest to , he gets insided by someone every wipe , he gets streamsniped and ppl just try to anger him every time he streams
They try to anger him because they want a reaction and he gives it to them. No reaction = no trolls
My Ex lived in McDonough Georgia. I think that place can drive people crazy.
The importance of a good father figure can not be overstated.😊
almost shed a tear jack finally uploaded
Always nice to get your comment man, this video had so many unexpected turns, glad we finally got it out to you guys.
Dude all the support for Vincent by other rust youtubers is heartwarming. I feel most people would just tell him to quit because hes an asshole and has no future. But people see his past and realize that he just needs time.
Yo I’ve heard this guys plays with Zergs but I don’t know much about him, this will be interesting, common jack Shephard W.
Welcome back nightshine! Hope you enjoy :)
My parents would never let me leave school for anything related to a computer 😭
Pro streamer/youtuber tip: If you don't have much of a personality or anything interesting to say just scream and yell alot.
Man I didn't even know that this happened to vincent, He was a really funny streamer.
Vincent is kind and very mature outside of streaming i have high hopes for him as i seen him grow up over the years ! From "Tastyy" himself
I hope so as well, I honestly wish the best for all these controversial characters, a lot of the drama or the biggest life conflicts they have ultimately comes from the unawareness of how they're getting there.
Dang bro, that was one hell of a youtube video.
Honestly dude just went with the flow of the wrong crowd. He seems like he has a pure heart but just way too much built up anger. It’s good he has people in his community trying to help him grow and to continue succeed.
didnt expect to see my vid featured in one clip great vid
Excellent video, Shep.
Appreciate you scoot! Was cool to know you were a witness to this stuff.
Ngl if you look at Vincent rn he changed his tone and is actually very chill I like watching him at least rn
Aiden said yesterday on stream that he just needs to surround himself with better people and influences.
Vincent has been one of the few streamers to actually respond to messages I send in their chat. Another one being CoconutB. Vincent has always been unbelievably nice to me. I believe the mean/angry thing is just an act honestly. Like that guy boogie from way back in the day.
i could always tell that vincent doesnt really mean harm himself, but rather he is a victim of circumstance. i hope he can turn his career around because clearly entertaining people is something he really loves
Yeah I really like take mrots, unfortunately a lot of us our driven out of our insecurity, Vincent hasn't felt the right means to deal with it yet, hopefully he does figure it out. Because deep down I would like to think he has everyone's best intentions.
@@JackShephardTV rust in general is not a great crowd of people to be around if we are being completely honest
Love the content shep! rust community is lucky to have you
im sorry this isnt the building rust section bro ##WHEREISCOLTIN
Thanks so much for your clips Uzzziii, you were honestly a saving grace during editing hell. You have no idea how valuable that clip list was when I had to restart this project.
Vincent's pretty iconic in Toria Main, and even though his style of content resonates with angry teenagers, he really isn't one anymore, now is he... So we'll see a more tamed version of him in the future, or he'll snap, but he'll probably mellow out. Lol
I love Vincent. His Minecraft streams are top notch and Ive had some good encounters with him on Moose servers.
good to see you back amazing video
Always good to see you man, sorry this one took so long. Happy to have this out, glad you enjoyed.
Vincent is actual content something that you never see anymore especially on rust
