Well. Here we are. We got here. I really do appreciate you and your support. A very (honestly too) in depth video as to what went on. I wanted to update you guys. Much Love, - Austin
I'm so glad you're doing okay now, dude. I was so worried about you when I saw you didn't upload at all this week. Looking forward to seeing you in Final Shape, man!
Que dios cuide 🙏🙏🙏
Omg it’s crazy you took so much sedation 😂 I’m glad they got you good though.
Cheers man, glad you seem to have a good path forward. Really enjoy what you do
Really hope you get better and feel good for a long time. I really appreciate your content, it is one of the best for D2, thanks! but don't push yourself too hard dude, your health and well being comes first. We will support you either way.
I wish the best for you and your family.

CoolGuy: ...and I took that to heart
Top teir comment
Brother popped sunsinger on heart failure and accidentally left path of the burning steps on during sedation. Class swapping, death defying, lore accurate guardian. Glad you got the competent doctor patch installed when you did. Keep on keeping on, Coolguy.
As a former physician I can say that your experiences with your first cardiologist are sadly common in this country. Our healthcare system definitely needs a major reboot to eliminate those kinds of experiences. Also, a health problem should not make you destitute. Healthcare bills are the #1 cause of bankruptcy in this country.
Bro is an Exo and i’ve never been happier. You can hear it in his voice y’all. This is good. This is special. 🤙
A billion percent. The hope in his voice from just saying “I feel ok”. Nearly brought me to tears man.
My grandpa had a pacemaker and it gave him a new lease on life. You almost passed, and your body told your heart no. I'm glad you are doing well.
I had to chuckle at your anesthesia bit at 11:00. I was in hospital a few years back for some cardiac stuff too (nothing *remotely* as serious as your case, all's good) but they wanted to get me in for an angiogram too. For whatever reason, my BPM just *would. not. go. down.* They pumped me full of some stuff to bring it down. I focused heavy on my breathing, trying to just relax. Nada. They eventually said F it, a bad picture's better than no picture, and put me in anyways.
Glad to hear all's going good guy, fingers crossed they keep that way.
I'm so happy to hear you're doing better. Big fan of your content. No one has as good of weapon reviews as you.
those hospital bills are gonna be killer, and after seeing you pull through on the health side, i hope you can pull through on the financial side too.
big fan of you, your work, and your perspective, time and time again. glad you're still with us ❤️
dude, first things first: huge props for sharing all this incredibly private information with a wide internet audience. I’m wowed by your story and how much you shared, and the detail as a nerd (your words not mine lol) you were able to put into the whole process. your health literacy is super admirable.
second: as a nursing student and destiny player, this is the crossover I never knew I needed lol. really glad you had a much better experience with the second doctor, looking forward to any future content you bring.
Bro, wish I was more financially stable to support you directly. Best wishes for your safety.
Dude having to deal with incompetent people while you are dealing with life and death matters is a fugging nightmare
Wicked glad to hear you have the pacemaker in place and are doing better!! I hear you on the medical issues and costs and the ridiculousness of record keeping by our medical doctors and staff. Especially with things as crucial as what you're facing! Glad to hear things are on a positive trend!
As a primary medicine doc who would listen to you on my drive into work or in the call room trying to get through a 24 hour shift, I'm so happy to hear you found a cardiologist who was quickly able to to act on such a serious heart condition. Keep on being a legend and I'll be listening to your next videos as long as you're making them.
Cool guy, I have been a loyal follower for years. I have been a paramedic since 2000, yeah I am old! Greatly appreciate you telling your story in detail. You have been through some rough years, awesome to find a doctor you can trust and good for your mental health to get this situation dialed in. Thank you for the Destiny content you are appreciated. Good luck Guardian, you have lots of support!
Glad to hear that your doing better, dude.
And, as someone who works in a cath lab and scrubs coronary angios and device implantations, thank you for sharing your journey and your progress. Hearing stories of improvement from patients who choose to share them is always heartening for healthcare professionals.
Hope your continued recovery is smooth, man. Keep feeling better and keep making great content. We're all pulling for you.
Man... I've followed you for what feels like a majority of my adulthood, and I'm sorry to hear that you've been going through so much. This encourages me to go and get my heart checked out too
Place wasn't the same without you. You have a heart of gold. Don't let the world take it from you CoolGuy.
That passing out episode was really such a good thing in hindsight because now you’re gonna do so much better because of that. Glad you’re doing better.
Glad to hear you got help and feeling better than you were. Lost my dad due to heart issues, it's no joke. Glad to see more awareness about this. Even happier to see someone is doing better. Keep up the good work but more importantly, focus on healing and getting through this. Much love and support
Cheering for you all day every day! This hits extra close to home, my youngest brother was born with a congenital heart defect (tetralogy of fallot) and it's a miracle he's here today too. I just wish both of you the best ❤
I've followed your channel for years, continuing to watch most uploads weekly despite giving up destiny a few years ago after playing since D1 Beta. I've heard your voice more than some IRL friends over that period, and I want you to know I'm grateful for the consistently uplifting energy you bring to this platform (and my life). I'm a physical therapist who works with a lot of cardiac cases, and my father has CHF. All thats to say, I have a good window into the intensity you've been moving through, and I hope you know how much of a badass you've been through this process. It's a brutal one, and you're still showing up for your community and family. Big respect. You're on the up and up! Keep after it, we're all rooting and praying for your continued recovery. Side note - I think this may be my first ever youtube comment. Well earned.
Your heart went into sudden cardiac death and your Ghost was like "Not so fast, Guardian, these Blueberries need you."
Dude, I'm super happy your feeling better and got through this step in your journey!! Will be keeping you in the prayers rotation! I know theres alot of people out there that may be in a situation like yours and will find comfort in you telling your story and experiences with everything.
I'm glad you're doing well! I actually work in cardiology, and it's really cool to hear your story and all these terms I hear on a daily basis. Super fascinating hearing your own personal experience.
Hey there CoolGuy, I know I don't know you at all personally, but I can't help but feel so ecstatic that you were able to bounce back. Thank you for giving us this descriptive update and especially thank you for sharing some of the personal stuff in your life. It's pretty hard to open up about this stuff I imagine, especially with all the turmoil you've been put through recently, but seriously man from a random viewer and a longtime fan, I really am grateful for this update and your health.
Really quick and not to make this about me, but just a quick anecdote about why this video really resonates with me. I've had lots of family members die within the last 4 months. I've had four family members already pass away due to health complications and cancer. Sadly not too recently my Uncle was put into ICU because his heart is giving out, even with is pacemaker. All of these events have been really hard for me and my family, but hearing the news about you really put a smile on my face. In short I am thankful for your content and I am hopeful for your health to get better and better because you're a cool guy and I think the world is a lot better with you in it!
Thank you for sharing Austin. Your perseverance is inspiring. I hope to see more of your videos soon. We missed you.
Glad you're doing okay brother. Been watching your content since D1 we need you around. Prioritize your health and getting better the game isn't going anywhere.
Man, super inspiring story! A couple of years ago I had an accident and almost died and I know how important it is to keep a positive mental attitude. I can tell you have that dialed and I wish you the best in your recovery. I only recently started watching your videos and have found them super valuable. I hope you have many more years of them to come!
I first watched your videos several years ago when I was an avid Destiny player trying to learn more about the intricacies of PvP. For the past couple of years, I haven’t opened the game until about a week ago after graduating college. I’ve always followed you since before but hadn’t watched videos again until now. It’s always a mix of excitement and fear when checking up on an older channel because you never know what has unfolded in their life, and it couldn’t be more true after watching this video. You’ve been through a crazy journey not just in the past year but what seems to have been many, and I’m really happy that you’re feeling good now. I’d had some minor heart problems when I was younger (not nearly as serious) and it was always perceived by others as more grave than it truly was, so I hope the same continues here. You feel good, and God-willing your “new normal” will continue that trend of goodness. I’m rooting for you CoolGuy!😁❤️
I appreciate this kind of candidness from a content creator. So many times (at least it feels like it) people become just a voice on a screen and it's almost like an actor playing a role and that takes away some of the personal connection. I will always pay more attention to a creator that makes it feel like they care about me as much as I care about them. This type of stuff shows it's a two way street and for that, I will pay more attention than ever. You were already basically my favorite content creator (I even have a custom DIM wishlist based on your recommendations) and this just solidifies it. I work in healthcare so I see all kinds of bad things happen to good people and I'm thankful we got a good thing to happen to a good person. Keep upp the great work and hoping for the best for you and your health in the future.
You got this man, we're for you. Appreciate you sharing and your community has you back.
Glad to hear you’re doing better man, eyes up Guardian. ❤
Man I’m really glad you got that second opinion and shoutout to the new cardiologist. Wishing you good health!
Not only grateful you’re on the mend and things are better but I genuinely appreciate the medical side and education given towards it. All my best on healing up 🙏🏼
I went through something similar 12 years ago (late diagnosed congenital bicuspid aortic valve with enlarged left ventricle; valve replacement surgery; cardiac arrest after that; implanted defibrillator), so well done on getting through a very intense time. Sounds like you're in good hands now and you're finally receiving proper care. For what its worth after my initial treatment I haven't had any more incidents or scares in the 12 years since, and things went back to normal pretty quickly - hopefully you'll be able to look back in 12 years time and say the same. Wishing you the best!
Your content helped me get through a terrible quarantine and beyond, and for that I will always be grateful. I hope to hear "until the next one" for a long time to come, Coolguy.
Fight forever guardian.
As a nurse on a cardiac unit, thought you did a great job explaining your various conditions for laymen. Really glad you're doing better, modern medical technology is amazing but you rightly pointed out how dear a price we pay for it here in the US. Keep doing what you do.
That's crazy, glad you're doing better.
And then there's me, who was so overweight, my HR never got below 65-70, even asleep. And I've been on this journey to slow my heart down. Now I sleep and it dips into the 40s. I cycle 100+ miles a week. Intense miles too, lots of intervals and zone 2.
But man, it's crazy to be your age and have heart issues. Life is so fickle. Glad to hear you've finally gotten the care you need.
God grace be with you man...keep the faith
98k... I'd just die.
Gonna keep watching, commenting, and liking videos in the hopes that it helps. You're seriously a great teacher. Taught me how to think about guns in Destiny and therefore allowed me to play with intent and have more fun in the process.
If it makes you feel any better, my Dad had something similar, although the scaring in his heart was from rheumatic fever he had as a kid. They got a pacemaker in him, had him take meds, and he lived until the ripe old age of 97. With newer technology and better techniques, I'm sure you've got a long life ahead of you. Keeping you in my prayers.
Been A follower of your content going back to D1 days. I was a Cardiac ICU nurse for 9 years before becoming A transplant coordinator a few years ago. Very familiar with your situation and the all the terminology here. Good for you for educating yourself on your diagnosis and condition. Even better for you for advocating for yourself by getting 2nd opinion. As a provider of health care I am all too familiar with how frustrating the system can be to navigate. Very happy to hear you got some resolution and you got your PM. Thank you for sharing the story here. Very helpful info for the general public to illustrate the importance of self advocacy. Prayers that you continue onward for your smooth recovery! 🙏
You're part Exo now with that pacemaker my friend. I am glad it's helping and you're feeling better again. My friend has had a similar operation and he sympathizes with what you're going through. We're both happy to see and hear good news about what you're dealing with. You have our support.
Dang man…glad to hear that you are on the mend. Not gonna lie this stuff sounds scary as all get out. Again glad to hear that you were able to get all the information, and feeling better. Thanks for providing your story. I appreciated the “Legend story”, because you sir truly are legendary. Thanks for all you do! Thanks for truly being a CoolGuy!
Coolguy, thanks for the update! I have a congenital heart condition myself. I'm about to turn 55 and I've had my ICD/pacemaker for about 15 years now. You'll do great, I'm sure. I'm glad you went for the second opinion.
Love your vids. Keep it up!
David
Super glad for you. Rest well and have a speedy recovery.
Thank you for being amazing
As a pharmacy technician, that was one crazy story
Glad your doing better coolguy, I actually have had a pretty wild week myself in the fact that I crushed my right ring finger while at work and had a “distal fracture” saw a orthopedic surgeon and got a surgery scheduled (after going to the ER and getting it splinted and the nail reattached as it had popped off from the nail bed as well) and just got pins put in my finger to repair the fracture as well as having my dental implant installed on this past Tuesday from my seizure in October during which I removed my lower left canine tooth and damaged my jaw lol. All that to say I’m glad you are on the road to recovery and doing better my friend
I've never come across you before but my husband watched your video out of curiousity, and I completely resonated. I have had a congenital heart condition that was discovered at the age of 3. I've had 5 surgeries to repair my many issues and I have a mechanical valve. Yet after all of that I'm still on a huge cocktail of medications, I still have heart failure with an EF of around 35%, and I am needing an Internal Defibrillator device a bit like yours, however luckily I think I can get the leadless one you mentioned.
Sending you so many well wishes and a speedy recovery for your future.
Thank you for speaking so truthfully and indepth to raise awareness about this kind of thing 💙
So glad to hear you’re doing better man, you’re one of the main D2 UA-camrs I watch, and the main one I take recommendations from when it comes to weapon rolls. Hoping and praying that you continue feeling better, and that you are blessed with responsible and smart healthcare professionals.
Happy to hear you're doing better, your weapon reviews/breakdowns are always highlights of my week. 🙌🏻
One of my mentors that has been my teacher for the last decade got that few weeks ago. He’s now completely fine and can do marathons with some cautions and regularly goes on 20 mile bike runs every few days. I hope you can get to that point as well and feel good about yourself
Thanks for giving us an update, glad to hear you’re ok and things are looking up!
We need to start a gofundme for this man. He's too important to all of us and to his family
Hey man. I can relate to a lot of what you're going through and feeling. Had a bacterial blood infection about 6-7 years ago that nearly killed me. Completely changed my life and perspective on everything. Glad to hear you're feeling better and on the right track
Thank you for sharing your story. A good lesson to all of us that we need to be our own health advocate. Just did this when I pushed my gp for a referral for a dermatologist and the skin changes the gp was not concerned about were melanoma. Very slow growing and totally able to be removed but you need to get on it early enough. In any case, wishing you all the best…as they said, you are a legend ❤
Even though I rarely play the game anymore, you're the only D2 content creator I'll still always watch. You've lived it and know it, but pushing yourself too hard while you're already fatigued can really set you back. So please take care of yourself, even if it means longer time between videos, until you're comfortable at your new normal.
While I haven't gone through this myself, I almost lost my mom to a heart attack less than a year ago, and I have to say, listening to you describe your heart issues (Ejection Fraction,...) really brought some of those emotions back.
I've been a viewer for about 5-6 years now, and I'm always happy to see when you upload a new vid. So thank you for your videos, and I am extremely relieved that you are doing well. Please take breaks whenever you need them. Happy to see you back on your feet !!!
Prayers to you and your wife, God bless you!
So glad to hear it man. That's a huge relief for your energy and heart rate to have a better baseline. I'm sure your family and loved ones are so glad to hear it as well.
All the best and I'm confident you have many years before you. While in the Navy, I had a friend (another sailor) with something similar, and he ended up with a pacemaker, and served another 5 years before getting out, and been great since. Awesome to see you feeling better, and looking forward to many more videos of yours!
Greetings from across the pond. Good to hear about the positives. Yes I understand totally about “the new norm”. That is what it is and will be. No one will be able to tell you what that will be like. You will have to find that out for yourself as I did. I did have an event. I was visiting two of the ships I used to look after. I had a myocardial infarction in the middle of Lisbon airport. Two weeks later and two stents later the rest of my life started. I was as weak as a baby, could not walk 50 steps at the beginning. I found physical rehab challenging. However it will come, don’t expect it to be instantaneous.
I was so weak basically the only things I could move were my thumbs and my eyeball. That’s when I got an Xbox360. I’ve followed you in Destiny from the start, I’m still rubbish but I really do have a lot to thank you for. Keep your chin up as we say over here. My best wishes to you.
"Syncope which is likely _aborted_ sudden cardiac death"
Now that's a scary freaking line for a Dr to right
There was something a little more profound about the "I am coolguy" this time around. You *are* coolguy, you're still here, and that's cool :)
Praying for you! For me, you have been a pillar of this community and I resonate with the other comments saying that we care about you even if you could never make another video. You’re so candid & you have my respect, guardian.
Best wishes for a speedy, healthy, recovery
I’m glad you’re doing better and got better care for your heart, coolguy. For as long as I can remember watching YT guides for d2 you’ve always been one of my favorites. Always enjoyed your style and even got the chance to randomly play on your team one day. You’ve been in my thoughts since your last update video. You are in fact, a Legend to all of us.
Glad you’re doing good coolguy! Love the content you make keep it up!
Mad respect for this video, sir. You're by far one of my favorite D2 content creators, and I'm so happy to hear your doing well. Hope your recovery is smooth and fast.
Love you broski. Health is always important, so you better stay around for a while yet okay? Keep at it ♥️
Thank you for sharing. I’ve commented many times before that your content is S+ Tier, and that also goes for your character as a person. Thank you for being real. We are here for you.
Not gonna lie as someone thats never had a mutual interaction with you, i had a sigh of relief hearing you are on the up my man. Prayers going your way.
Great to hear your doing good. My father has had a triple bypass and recently three stents put into his heart. I myself have been having some A-fib that was caught by my doctor during my VA retirement appointments so I fear my family history may be pointing me that way also. I have watched your content quite a few times and I don’t know why I never subscribed. Well I’m on the team now and wish you continued health improvements and hopefully that new normal gives you the ability to spend all the quality time in the world with your family.
My dad had something similar a little over a year ago that came to a head with him passing out after making dinner and he had to get a pacemaker himself. He’s doing a lot better now, and he has really well adjusted to having a pacemaker. Takes time, but I’m sure you’ll feel the same! Best of luck to you!
My brother had a pace maker and this story resonates so much. Praying for a speedy recovery bro, can’t wait to see you back in action. Take it easy, and thank you for all you do. One of my favorite content creators by far ❤️💯
Wild story! Glad to hear you’re now on the road to a proper recovery 💪 You’re content, especially weapon reviews, is gold standard. Looking forward to seeing your coverage of TFS. Good luck mate! 🤞
You’re doing great! Thanks for sharing your story with your second family. I’ll pray that everything works out for you and your family.
You are a walking Marvel. You have my respect for making out of something that ominous. Live a long and happy life.
Your community knows the future and it is freaking awesome for our dude.
So pumped your good bud. 😊
So glad your recovery is going well man, heart stuff ain’t no joke. My family has a history of heart issues too and it’s scary every time something big happens.
I'm super glad to hear that you're feeling better. Here's hoping to a short recovery and a long happy life. I love your content and attitude. You deserve to be happy and healthy. ❤❤❤👍👍👍
We're all glad you're doing better. That story is scary af, that is alot to go through and hear from doctors. Hopefully everything gets better as time goes on. Wishing for a speedy and smooth recovery.
Glad you are able to tell your story. New to your content but I have always enjoyed it. Thank you for what you do, will be looking for you out in the D2 wild. Much love bro!
You just survived the biggest coin flip of your life. I think that says something to the value you bring to this world and those around you. I'm happy that you're on your road to recovery and that you're still here with us. I have some experience with losing people at such young ages in my family. I'm glad you woke up and that you get this chance that you deserve for working so hard to bring us content, while suffering behind the scenes. I've watched you for a long time now, and I always see what you have to say before I make my build or weapon decisions. That precious scars build has been a god send. Anyway, much love to you and your family. I look forward to your phoenix era... born again, stronger than ever.
Even with all of your hardships, you are still such a good positive dude. I’m so sorry about your Mom and Uncle. I feel optimistic for you breaking this cycle with getting this pacer/defibrillator. Much love to you and your family ❤
Fellow gamer with congenital heart issues wishing you all the best! I hope you continue to feel better, one day at a time.
Happy to hear this CoolGuy, your content is missed but health always takes precedent
im very glad your health is on the up and up
Dude this is awesome news and I’m so glad to hear it. You’re one of the good ones man, we need you around for the long haul. Wishing you and your wife nothing but the best.
Thank you for sharing. And prayers for recovery and finances.
As a PA I am thankful for your candidness but sorry of this even happening and your initial experience
Glad to hear you are doing better. As you get just a little older every year, you start to truly appreciate how much of a gift each day is. I’ll say a prayer that you have many many more ahead of you!
Cool guy what an amazing and heroic quest you went on. I’m so sorry that fear this happened to you, but you are a strong man and I respect you. I also love this kind of content, you could go into detail on any subject, and I’d probably get something out of it that I didn’t know. All the best
Glad to hear you're feeling better. That anestheshia bit, the only explanation is that the light you have grinded all this years keep you awake, eyes up guardian 😎
So happy seeing you back at it, brother. Obviously there will be adjustments and future changes, but we're along for the ride with you. Wishing you and your family nothing but the best, and excited to see you alongside us in The Final Shape.
Side note - I work in healthcare and see this type of issue across the industry far too often. I'm beyond fortunate to be at the premier hospital in my area, but it always saddens me to see the challenges of the system affecting good people.
You're not allowed to die man. I love your videos. I really hope everything gets better. I think it's really cool that you shared all of this. Thank you for the great videos
Wishing you speedy recovery coolguy. I pray for your resilience and hope this doesn’t affect your mobility. Stay disciplined with your diet and exercise. You have the intellect and strength to beat this!
So technically you are a real life Guardian. Your heart basically told death ‘not today’.
Happy to hear you’re doing better. It’s great to have you back and I hope you have a speedy recovery, with no complications. Love you man❤️
I’m glad that you’re still with us coolguy. I hope that these doctors really did a good thing for you and that you live a long healthy life. Best of luck to you. Love your content
Jesus Christ. I'm so sorry you've had to go through this, and im so happy to hear you're doing much better now. Always love your vids, but love just hearing how you're doing man.
