I’m so happy to see this video getting attention!! It’s been a wild ride and this video blowing up is something I was NOT expecting. Please note, though, that this video is 10 MONTHS old lol. Within those months I’ve improved IMMENSELY and have made some other pretty neat things. If you liked this video I highly recommend checking my iceberg video out. It’s the hardest i’ve ever worked on a video, has way better framing and sound design, I interview an ACTUAL OG player lol, and a lot more! Check it out here: ua-cam.com/video/UJrvMYV4r9c/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared Thanks again everyone! ❤️
This video is so cool! Deserves way more views. I started playing roblox in 2014 as a guest and (being a dumb child still) I thought you needed to be an adult to make an account lol. Only in 2016 I finally made my first account. Maybe one of my fondest memories is after I made my account playing speed run four with the kids at summer camp and no matter how hard I try I couldn’t make it past the 4th level! Good times :>
@@Skibiddysigmaohoo only 4 weeks later it's at 83k, that a massive upsurge in views compared to before, guess the algorithm is finally doing something good for once
roblox is so lifeless and corporate now. it hurts. i've been playing since 2012, and seeing roblox change so much and remove so many interesting and unique features frustrates me.. i blame the shitty members that ruined the site for everyone else but also the company for caring more about investors than their players.
I blame the unsupervised kids on their mom's iphones and tablets actively playing the trashy games and incentivizing/rewarding this behavior from the company.
I was a guest before, and it was when I was playing a game called something like "Barry's Pizzeria Roleplay" (A fnaf game). The game has a well-known system in Roleplay games, where you can enter text into a chatbox to give yourself a name, and I used this to communicate with a player to ask how to make an actual account. I now have my own account and have had many over the years thanks to that guy.
holy shit, this is probably the only time ive seen someone ever mention that game. i always loved being withered bonny because him having a missing arm was just the coolest thing ever
Fun fact: There's a potential for there to be tens or even hundreds of game sessions that haven't closed since 2017 due to "always in-game" accounts that have existed since 2011 to ensure that certain games never properly close and still utilize the old scripting system upon entry. It is very unclear which games have them, or even if there may still be a guest in them, but nothing is impossible.
@@Pixel_Pug Yeah. These people bought computers especially for this purpose, too. The parts are all hot swappable while the machine is on and running, and you can even perform operating system updates without truly closing the game so long as the OS has an architecture that supports running the client. Since Roblox was 32-bit back then, even Windows 11 could run it now. For a brief explanation, these machines are essentially made to copy all necessary data to keep an application running always available onto another drive on command. It also essentially runs two operating systems at once, which is why you can update Windows on it. You can then effectively just move all the app data, even temporary data, from the storage device with the old operating system, to the one with the new operating system, without losing any data or having your connection go offline. It also has the option to enable and disable specific RAM slots at will, even on the live OS, though the one caveat to that is that you need the RAM amounts to be equal unless you also want to swap the game to another OS again.
I think they also removed the feature of removing your hats if you pressed backspace, back when I was a guest I would join prison life, and head to the police spawn and head to the edge where folks for some reason removed their hats and I would wear them
no, its the = button. you can still drop hats, i did today lol. atleast, in flex your account age i did so it might be an old throwback feature implemented. i havent tried dropping hats in more modern games
knowing all the stuff i missed by being a stubborn kid who would only play one online game (animal jam) and not accept anything else makes me a bit sad. i joined in 2018, so after most of this stuff got taken out. i wish i coulda experienced the older roblox features.
I had a similar experience except it was my mom that for some reason saw that Roblox was considered a unsecure website cause of that stupid green lock that would tell you if a website was secure or not. so she wouldn’t let make a account back in like late 2015 early 2016. so I had to stick to animal jam until I got a Tablet and the Roblox app, still even then I had to play as a guest until I bugged her enough to make one for me. I can’t believe I was such a stupid goody two shoes kid and I didn’t just make one in 2015 so cause of that I missed out on a good chunk of older Roblox and a lot of the 2010‘s internet cause I was so dead set on being a good little kid. Every time I look back at my childhood internet days it pains me so much that I lost all those possible experiences to quite literally nothing.

I joined in late 2013, experienced Roblox before it really got mainstream. The removal of these features really showcased the downside of extreme growth. I think the last straw for me was the discontinuation of Egg Hunts after 2020. I only recently came back to play the Classic event but discovered it had little to do with anything classic. It feels so corporate and "professional" now. That was definitely the case when i stopped playing regularly around 2020 but it's now worse.

Hello, just to correct some stuff about the forum section, back before it shut down, the forums were super chaotic, especially the off topic subforum (which I was a very active user in for years before it got merged). Every once in a while, a bad actor would post illegal material similair to what you discussed, but that wasn't the catalyst the their removal. Essentially, back in 2017 a UA-camr named Quackity raided the forums multiple times and it all went downhill from there
I remember being a little sad over no builders club and saying "I'm going to hack some free builders club" in rough translation and memory of being disappointed and my brother saying "buideg pub" for fun as a kid who didn't have a bank account yet, and my parents feared online purchases so disappointment wasn't so rare and any copy of minecraft, garry's mod and roblox could have gave me dopamine rush that is way too unimaginable also at one point, I relied on xbox giftcards to give me robux, since that was the only way because there were no Roblox giftcards available locally
oof relatable especially the parents being afraid of online purchases part 😭 i only had $10 google play gift cards to work with but one time in 2015 i somehow glitched the robux purchase system and got double the amount. not sure how that happened and ive never done it again
@@curepinkie1637 Sorta relatable. My parents didn't fear online purchases, but were wary of them. I ended up getting 2k robux one day on mobile, and as a joke, pressed the buy button and bought 2k more robux unknowingly. I continued to spam the button thinking it was a free robux glitch, but it was just mobile roblox's UI being shit and not showing up the "Enter credit card info" UI or whatever, causing me to max out my moms credit card.
One thing I specifically remember is how much I wanted the boomboxes in game, up until they removed copyrighted music, which realistically should’ve happened a while back.
Man I remember the forums dude. I got huge into them in 2017 and then the Quackity raid happened and it just turned everything upside down. Great video
That's literally what happened to me too, lol. I joined in 2009 but never understood the point of the forums until I became a teenager. Then forums got deleted.
Ngl, this video is actually really good, plus I remember the Builder’s Club stuff and guests before they got removed. One thing I would put as an honorable mention was the audio change that basically made audio over 5 second audio useless.
I remember and know about these features, which I had almost forgot about but I now feel nostalgic about them. I also remember owning every tier of Builder's Club, being a guest, player points, gifts, you name it.
As a previous player from 2008 - 2016 this brought back a lot of good memories, you've got me reminiscing on all the stuff I took part of with some old friends that aren't around anymore. Thank you for this, genuinely. It's a real shame my account got terminated years ago otherwise I'd be browsing through my old favorite places right now.
2012 player here, would play ceremoniously from 2012-2015, 2016-2020. Thank you for producing this vid! It covered just about everything I can think of that made this game so fun for me. And that noise, at 5:32, is pure hatred! Was the most aggravating sound to hear when being spawn killed on, "Build a Base and Fight!"
6:38 that wasn’t the knockout system. It’s a system that gives you a notification when you obtain a point on the leaderboard. So if you get 25 points, then you may get the badge 17:43 This is what I was talking about Kinda makes these games untestable if you don’t find the code because it won’t find the notification systems
The one feature that I think was exploited well was being able to open the Roblox client on 2 separate accounts and you could play with yourself. Nerfed just like removing wigs :(
this video deserves so much more recognition, it’s very clear you put a lot of time into this and it was really interesting to learn about all of this as someone who joined roblox in 2016, and the format you used makes it so much more fun, so thank you! i just subscribed and i’ll definitely be checking out more of your videos
shocked to see you only had 5k subs, this was genuinely so cute and a fun watch! Felt like an actual film, but with a bit of homevideo type feel. Thank you for the informational video and fun 29 minutes! :D
This was great! I joined Roblox in around 2008, maybe 2007 with other accounts. If you ever need someone to interview, I’d love to be a part of a video!
This video was incredibly well put together, and an amazing trip down memory lane! I've actively been on Roblox since 2012, and I really enjoyed seeing the documentation of all these discontinued features. The editing, storyline, and cinematic choices were all amazing. I loved this video so much; great work!
Hai ya folks! I'm a 2016-2017 player, and I remember a lot of these features being talked about before, and played as a guest for the majority of my beginnings. It was such a nostalgic trip through this video, and I would confirm most of these, as my oldest and first accessories are the Slime Crown from Nickelodeon, Violet Guardia, Egg Hunt eggs, an Artic Fox head with a gingerbread pal from this one winter event, and many other events, but it was really sad when events were slowly disappearing for the longest time. Until it came back with the Hunt, but it wasn't as good as the others. It was nice to see most discontinued things in this video, and know what else they had. So sad as I missed some of these because I didn't want to make an account in 2016 and just stayed as a guest. But it was nice while these lasted!
brother, I have to say it's one of the best videos I've seen of this format it feels very entertaining, compared to many similar iceberg videos with some boring descriptions and mundane gameplay over it keep up the good work!
Honestly, I think that Tix absolutely should have been either reworked or completely removed when they were. If you think the home page is awful today, imagine how much more flooded it would be if every visit gave the creator robux 😂😂
I personally think guests were probably removed for development reasons It was probably really game-breaking and limiting in some places What if you need the player id? What if you need the player inventory? What if you need anything else from their profile?
As a 2010 player I appreciate you making this video, it's really well made I also remember when I used to farm player points alot on berezaa's first game 2 player factory tycoon that he first got known for. You could only fill the server with obtainable player points if players buy developer items
“What is up my gg gamers, welcome back to another episode of “Let’s Play ROBLOX”! And today we’re gonna be looking at how my younger self was ✨stupid✨” -Pixelpug 2023
I thought this was an alright video. Creative hook and editing and such. However, I do feel that the interviews were not varied enough to be informative to the viewer in any meaningful way. Most of them were from around 2016, which was a markedly different time than the years when most of these features were around. I would recommend getting a more diverse spread of users for interviews next time.
Great video! *The only feature You have missed is the character Gear system,* as it were barely used by any game by 2016-17 (I have joined by that time myself). Very little to no games utilize it due to various items being overpowered (my guess). Nowsday games I know never utilizing it either, making the gear items you have ever bought or achieved via events barely usable as a character custom which is only seen by the profile... Simply, a forgotten feature.
Crazy that I started in 2011 and have lived through all of these old discontinued features to this day to still tell the younger generation about what the past used to have.
My introduction was playing as a guest, I just remember playing work at a pizza place but I don’t know if that was the game I played as a guest but I remember I had a lot of fun in 2016, I remember the player points vaguely but I don’t remember them actually doing anything. I remember seeing the builders club icons but didn’t know that’s what they were. I miss the old oof sound since it’s just so iconic. I started playing roblox in 2016 but lost the password to my first account, luckily I still got my 2017 account
WOOOOOOOOOOW THIS VIDEO IS SO GOOD, HOLY SHIT ITS SO GOOD, ONLY 3.3K SUBS? BRO YOU DESERVE SO MUCH MORE, bro i hope 1 day you'll reach 100 million subs (what you deserve), never give up, keep up the work and you shall rise. love you bro
I have to say I am absolutely blown away with the quality of this video! Seems like you've put a lot of effort into it and it's way better compared to most other roblox videos. The cinematography also reminds me of Captain Disillusion's stuff! You should check him out because he makes really good content as well (and it could serve as inspiration for the future!). Looking forward to seeing more awesome vids like these! :D My feedback for any future projects you'd do would be to try and work on pacing/camera angles perhaps, maybe some lighting corrections since that could've been done with the Roblox HQ burning scene. Perhaps you could also include some more sound effects? Either way, I really enjoyed this!! Thank you
Aye thanks mate!! This is actually one of my first projects. Thank you for the tips!! Check out my “Strange Roblox Mysteries Iceberg” vid. It’s a LOT more improved than this and im curious to see if you think I improved on those at all.
I remember over a decade ago, people with OBC got a special profile theme that was black and silver. But GOD was BC hated, I was an avid hater of it. I would browse the catalog looking at hats and seeing how all my favorite hats were unfortunately BC only, I also had to settle for the non BC version of games such as Khol's. BC was also made gears even MORE pay to win by making practically all of the good gears BC only.
6:08 - For the Bloxxer badge, you also had to have more KOs than wipeouts in total. This was a problem for some users (including me) who played obbies/survival games/other stuff where you die a lot, and didn't play fighting games too much. At one point, I had about 2k more wipeouts than I had KOs, so getting that badge took a lot of time.
I remember when there was a whole comment section under each game but then they removed that but there was still a comment section for each gamepass but that got removed too

Roblox is slowly becoming a husk of whats was it in the past
I joined in 2014, and played actively until 16-17. I remember all of these features vividly. Kinda crazy some of these got removed.
Man, I remember builders club, tix, guests, and player points like they were yesterday
You have so much potential in acting, editing etc, and also I really enjoyed the video, keep going like this!
Thank you!
I miss the party feature on pc
It used to help so much with finding servers for a large group of friends
One thing I specifically remember is how much I wanted the boomboxes in game, up until they removed copyrighted music, which realistically should’ve happened a while back.
Man I remember the forums dude. I got huge into them in 2017 and then the Quackity raid happened and it just turned everything upside down. Great video
That's literally what happened to me too, lol. I joined in 2009 but never understood the point of the forums until I became a teenager. Then forums got deleted.
The fact i was here for all of these things is making me feel so old
I WAS NOT EXPECTING A WHOLE CINEMATIC MASTERPIECE WHEN I CLICKED, THIS IS INCREDIBLE
[Content Deleted] ahh Intro music 😭🙏

Ngl, this video is actually really good, plus I remember the Builder’s Club stuff and guests before they got removed. One thing I would put as an honorable mention was the audio change that basically made audio over 5 second audio useless.
I remember and know about these features, which I had almost forgot about but I now feel nostalgic about them. I also remember owning every tier of Builder's Club, being a guest, player points, gifts, you name it.
As a previous player from 2008 - 2016 this brought back a lot of good memories, you've got me reminiscing on all the stuff I took part of with some old friends that aren't around anymore. Thank you for this, genuinely. It's a real shame my account got terminated years ago otherwise I'd be browsing through my old favorite places right now.
Dude, You NEED more publicity. This video was awesome, but somehow only has 956 views???
Appreciate it 🙏 The algorithm has never really favored me aha. Hopefully one day.
@@Pixel_PugI think today's the day! A lot more people are getting it recommended on their homepage
@@MeggpieI got it recommended
SAMEE
at least hes at 48k now
This video gave me not only nostalgia of old Roblox but also a good story within this video, you’re a good actor!!
This video is so awesome!!!! The quality and how thorough it is is incredible!
2012 player here, would play ceremoniously from 2012-2015, 2016-2020. Thank you for producing this vid! It covered just about everything I can think of that made this game so fun for me. And that noise, at 5:32, is pure hatred! Was the most aggravating sound to hear when being spawn killed on, "Build a Base and Fight!"
6:38 that wasn’t the knockout system. It’s a system that gives you a notification when you obtain a point on the leaderboard. So if you get 25 points, then you may get the badge
17:43
This is what I was talking about
Kinda makes these games untestable if you don’t find the code because it won’t find the notification systems
I remember guests, tix, and i remember the player points popping up. I was an xbox player in 2018 and 2017. I first played in 2014 as a guest.
The one feature that I think was exploited well was being able to open the Roblox client on 2 separate accounts and you could play with yourself. Nerfed just like removing wigs :(
The quality of this video was really unexpected, majorly underrated bro you're going places
this video deserves so much more recognition, it’s very clear you put a lot of time into this and it was really interesting to learn about all of this as someone who joined roblox in 2016, and the format you used makes it so much more fun, so thank you! i just subscribed and i’ll definitely be checking out more of your videos
fun how they still updated the roblox badge picture troughout the years even tho some of them you cant even get no more.
shocked to see you only had 5k subs, this was genuinely so cute and a fun watch! Felt like an actual film, but with a bit of homevideo type feel. Thank you for the informational video and fun 29 minutes! :D
This was great! I joined Roblox in around 2008, maybe 2007 with other accounts. If you ever need someone to interview, I’d love to be a part of a video!
This video was incredibly well put together, and an amazing trip down memory lane! I've actively been on Roblox since 2012, and I really enjoyed seeing the documentation of all these discontinued features. The editing, storyline, and cinematic choices were all amazing. I loved this video so much; great work!
This is easily the most well-edited video I’ve seen on Roblox history. You just earned yourself a sub!
This is too underrated for youtube omg
and now they've removed comments on avatar items for some reason. awesome vid btw!!
Prob cause of all the bot spam
Dude you are so creative and very underrated, wishing you the best in the future. You deserve a lot of recognition for your hard work.
Hai ya folks! I'm a 2016-2017 player, and I remember a lot of these features being talked about before, and played as a guest for the majority of my beginnings. It was such a nostalgic trip through this video, and I would confirm most of these, as my oldest and first accessories are the Slime Crown from Nickelodeon, Violet Guardia, Egg Hunt eggs, an Artic Fox head with a gingerbread pal from this one winter event, and many other events, but it was really sad when events were slowly disappearing for the longest time. Until it came back with the Hunt, but it wasn't as good as the others. It was nice to see most discontinued things in this video, and know what else they had. So sad as I missed some of these because I didn't want to make an account in 2016 and just stayed as a guest. But it was nice while these lasted!
the filmmaking here is INSANEEEE this needs more views 100% !!!!!!
love how you mixed live action into roblox footage
brother, I have to say it's one of the best videos I've seen of this format
it feels very entertaining, compared to many similar iceberg videos with some boring descriptions and mundane gameplay over it
keep up the good work!
great work man, this is some high quality stuff. one of the better roblox videos ive seen
Honestly, I think that Tix absolutely should have been either reworked or completely removed when they were. If you think the home page is awful today, imagine how much more flooded it would be if every visit gave the creator robux 😂😂
Bro got his dad to play builderman 💀💀
Legend
dude this production is insane, you absolutely killed it here
the editing is SO awesome rooting for your channel
They should bring back forums but your account needs to be a certain age or have a verified ID
I personally think guests were probably removed for development reasons
It was probably really game-breaking and limiting in some places
What if you need the player id? What if you need the player inventory? What if you need anything else from their profile?
so much effort went into this, the level of professionalism is unreal
I like the old designs of the badges better.
Great video! I like the story aspect. o3o
As a 2010 player I appreciate you making this video, it's really well made
I also remember when I used to farm player points alot on berezaa's first game 2 player factory tycoon that he first got known for. You could only fill the server with obtainable player points if players buy developer items
“What is up my gg gamers, welcome back to another episode of “Let’s Play ROBLOX”! And today we’re gonna be looking at how my younger self was ✨stupid✨” -Pixelpug 2023
I joined roblox in 2009, i remember saving up tix for the ninja masks as a kid. Was rly bummed when they removed tix.
THE AMOUNT OF EFFORT IN THIS VIDEO IS CRAZYY!! GREAT VIDEO!!
I thought this was an alright video. Creative hook and editing and such. However, I do feel that the interviews were not varied enough to be informative to the viewer in any meaningful way. Most of them were from around 2016, which was a markedly different time than the years when most of these features were around. I would recommend getting a more diverse spread of users for interviews next time.
I'm glad someone else feels the same way. I started playing in 2010 and the commentary seemed overexaggerated at times/fake
Great video! *The only feature You have missed is the character Gear system,* as it were barely used by any game by 2016-17 (I have joined by that time myself). Very little to no games utilize it due to various items being overpowered (my guess). Nowsday games I know never utilizing it either, making the gear items you have ever bought or achieved via events barely usable as a character custom which is only seen by the profile... Simply, a forgotten feature.
i always love seeing people who joined after me talk about features they weren't around 4, rlly good vid dude
UA-cams algorithm has blessed me again with a masterpiece, loved the detective theme it had to this, hope to see more creative videos like these
Crazy good editing for a small channel like this. This video out performs some bigger UA-camrs even.
no way you only have 3k. i’m only 2 minutes in and this is already SO MUCH BETTER than most of big youtubers videos 👏🏻
Great editing, and pretty in depth to the past of roblox. Great stuff! Should definitely have more views.
this has got to be one of my favourite video essays ever
I clicked on this video expecting a generic video essay. I was pleasantly surprised. Nice work!
I've been watching roblox youtube for like 5 years now and this is the best iceberg video. How does this not have more views?
A removed Roblox feature people seem to forget is game comment sections
one of the most underrated vids i've ever seen, only 7k views is criminal
HOLY BRO IM ONLY 1:13 MINUTES IN AND THE PRODUCTION QUALITY IS INSANE (i had chills all over my spine)
Also 0:56 to 1:00 was so damn smooth bro keep going!!!!!!!
I had chills in parts I didnt even know existed
He should become hollywood actor
Crazy that I started in 2011 and have lived through all of these old discontinued features to this day to still tell the younger generation about what the past used to have.
16:38 No it doesn't delete the gift. They did that for the "hatching" eggs in egg hunt 2013 and people didn't like that
OOOHHHH I REMEMBER POINTS! i used to get as many as possible, not knowing what they did.
Man building up my daily tix for a month until i was able to use market efficiently just to buy some 5 dollar vip pass after weeks
My introduction was playing as a guest, I just remember playing work at a pizza place but I don’t know if that was the game I played as a guest but I remember I had a lot of fun in 2016, I remember the player points vaguely but I don’t remember them actually doing anything. I remember seeing the builders club icons but didn’t know that’s what they were. I miss the old oof sound since it’s just so iconic.
I started playing roblox in 2016 but lost the password to my first account, luckily I still got my 2017 account
WOOOOOOOOOOW THIS VIDEO IS SO GOOD, HOLY SHIT ITS SO GOOD, ONLY 3.3K SUBS? BRO YOU DESERVE SO MUCH MORE, bro i hope 1 day you'll reach 100 million subs (what you deserve), never give up, keep up the work and you shall rise.
love you bro
Good video, love the inclusion of building of time for a short moment
Ay i’m glad you liked it!! Building of time is such a cool project and this was the perfect time to implement it into somethin
One of the greatest documentaries iv ever soon about Roblox stuff, quite literally, criminally underrated.
the rebrand from builders club to premium had to be the saddest thing ever
your sense of artistic videography is actually immaculate, im appalled as to how i havent stumbled upon you until now.
I rarely leave comments, but this video is amazing, from the editing to the acting, this is quality! Underrated af
genuinely such a well-edited and humorous video, i loved it!!
I have to say I am absolutely blown away with the quality of this video! Seems like you've put a lot of effort into it and it's way better compared to most other roblox videos. The cinematography also reminds me of Captain Disillusion's stuff! You should check him out because he makes really good content as well (and it could serve as inspiration for the future!). Looking forward to seeing more awesome vids like these! :D
My feedback for any future projects you'd do would be to try and work on pacing/camera angles perhaps, maybe some lighting corrections since that could've been done with the Roblox HQ burning scene. Perhaps you could also include some more sound effects? Either way, I really enjoyed this!! Thank you
Aye thanks mate!! This is actually one of my first projects. Thank you for the tips!! Check out my “Strange Roblox Mysteries Iceberg” vid. It’s a LOT more improved than this and im curious to see if you think I improved on those at all.
@@Pixel_Pug I already did, that was a really high quality video too :)
I remember over a decade ago, people with OBC got a special profile theme that was black and silver. But GOD was BC hated, I was an avid hater of it. I would browse the catalog looking at hats and seeing how all my favorite hats were unfortunately BC only, I also had to settle for the non BC version of games such as Khol's. BC was also made gears even MORE pay to win by making practically all of the good gears BC only.
6:08 - For the Bloxxer badge, you also had to have more KOs than wipeouts in total. This was a problem for some users (including me) who played obbies/survival games/other stuff where you die a lot, and didn't play fighting games too much. At one point, I had about 2k more wipeouts than I had KOs, so getting that badge took a lot of time.
Really good editing + acting, congrats
bro did not need to be doin allat cinematography for dis video. 100001/10 💯💯💯💯
I remember when there was a whole comment section under each game but then they removed that but there was still a comment section for each gamepass but that got removed too
I hate roblox for being a sellout honestly. It's because of this they removed egg hunts
HOW THE ACTUAL HELL DOES THIS VIDEO HAVE LESS THAN 10K VIEWS?????? THAT IS ABSOLUTELY CRIMINAL.
sorry for the yelling but genuinely so good, i was absolutely BAFFLED to see how little views this has. i'm glad the algorithm brought me here
Ngl I'm amazed by this guy's ability to hook us into his videos
This is an absolute work of art. I haven’t seen something so creative in so long. This was both eye candy and brain candy. This is amazing work. I can’t wait to see what you have to offer next.
bro put his heart and soul into this
Extremely well edited video, awesome skits too haha. Definitely leaving a sub, can’t wait to see more Roblox stuff from this channel
You must have put a ton of effort into the acting and imagery for this video! Well done on this.
