    Even though you didn't notice me as a running commenter, you, Tim, are one of the most intelligent and pleasing people I have ever seen. Your editing style, visuals, scripts, and simple personality, work so well in tandem that build a atmosphere so unique that I feel like that it will never be replicated properly. I've been watching you since Secondary/High School, that's since I was a depressed young person, but when you uploaded a video, I was emotionally invested (regardless of the tone set in each video).
    While I did step back from the channel, waited a few months after getting my first year done of college to check you out and give you a proper chance. But then I discovered that Mini-DV video, made me laugh, cry, and feel a sense of what I rarely feel: Pure Happiness. It was so well made that it caused me to get back here, I'm home, I'm alive, and I love your work, and I shall stay. Tim, you gave me hope, gave me inspiration, and most importantly... Purpose: To figure out what happened to me and other people, and humanity itself.
    Tim... Thank you. You're one of my favourite true content creators here, you're genuine, you're original, and best of all... You're worthy of being one of the modern greats of video. And don't let that ego take you over, for that will make you go down, but hey, take it as you will. Thank you for reading this, I doubt you find this.

    I remember back in the 2010 Days when the Argos Catalogue was filled with these, and all the cheap knock-offs which covered a solid 3 Pages ... Compared to the 1 Page of Real Camera Tech. Always wanted one, but never actually grabbed one, and used a now 16 year old Polaroid camera to film with.

      I remember as a kid, getting a £40 knockoff from argos. I was so excited to use it to make stop motion animations and upload them to youtube. But the built in storage could barely hold 20 pictures before I had to plug it in, and transfer the photos to the hard drive of my windows xp PC. But the USB on the camera was so flimsy it broke before I could finish a single animation. I was so upset about it I stopped making animations when I was 10 and never went back.

    In all seriousness, your ability to tell stories, whether they are about nostalgic memories, old cameras or even simple computer components, is something that is unrivalled anywhere else on this platform, both vocally and through visuals. Have you ever considered being a filmmaker? You may take ages to pump out videos but none of them ever feel rushed or incomplete, which is what I really like about you and your content. Keep it up, and never stop making videos.

      Jackson Mcquade Thats cause he puts so much effort in his videos, he isn't Jake Paul to have a shitty cancerous vlog every day, he is a real creator.
      The music, editing, scenes and every other aspect takes a lot of time, especially if you are a one-man channel and don't have expensive equipment and a whole team behind your back.
      IMHO these kinds of channels that don't upload that often, but everytime they do its a great video are the best and are the real reason UA-cam was created in the first place, to give a shot to everyday average individuals with a lot of talent and passion to put content out for other people to see it.(at least until Google didn't ruin it with its algorithms)

    It's nice to see you again mate. I had a Sony Bloggie in 2012. It has a touchscreen function but no swivel camera. It wasn't bad considering the build quality. My friend won it in one of those Sega prize winning games. He sold it to me for $50 bucks. I didn't mind paying since the price was more than reasonable for something unused. Looking back at that now I wish I had kept it for myself. You're right... we do take this function for granted earnestly since it's nothing more than a simple function on every smart phone these days.

    yeah, it really does have a unique quality!

    I just got 60 (yes, 60) of these that were being thrown away. Thanks for convincing me to keep them and do something cool with them.

    Am I dreaming? A GHGTV upload?!? I don't know if this is the best day of my life, but it easily makes the top 5.

    I still have a Bloggie around, working and all, picked it up in 2014 at a clearance sale, and it never failed me. Only bad thing is its small internal memory, everything else is a fine camera for its intended purpose
