You know what's really depressing. This video. lol, I remember watching a tutorial on dragon platelegs when I was like 17 like I couldn't imagine being in my 40s playing this game and the guy who wrote it was like nearing 50.. And here I am 36. lol, wow. and that was right around dungeoneerings peak where it was a totally social busy at the time skill/minigame or whatever but everyone involved was droned zombie depressed about leveling it. lol there were always huge hickups like 1 guy didnt know how to unlock the room and we would all just like sit crashed like omg get it over with lol
This did the opposite of making me feel down. Thank you for memorializing her and sharing her story
So glad to hear that, thank you for watching!
They say that you die twice, first physically, and then the last time your name is spoken... Well you just helped Marlaine live a whole lot longer.
That’s honestly a deep quote.
That is DEEP…
They also say after 3 generations of your spawn, your name will never be spoken again unless ur famous maybe
Got me teared up a bit
she was a huge inspiration to me when i was in high school. i regularly read her blog. i still think of her often when i get in my runescape moods and play or watch videos. super pleased to see people still remember. makes me nostalgic. RIP Marlaine.
This is a sad story :/ but I'm glad Colonello spread awareness and appreciation for Marlaine.
I think it's the opposite of sad. They did what so many people dreamed of. They found love on the opposite ends of the world and were able to actually meet and be together in real life. That alone is amazing. Then they had happiness living together through their adventures of RuneScape. The story doesn't have the happiest of endings. But they loved together and died together, a feat that so many couples struggle with today. I think it is an amazing story of dedication and commitment.
We need an in-game tribute for Marlaine
Well, no.
@@sup_my_bwanaWhy not? Give us a reason
nahhh nobody knew her
Yes
Simp
"Any man's death diminishes me, for I am involved in mankind," Thank you for taking the time to tell her story. Godspeed, Marlene.
The person that posted the 3 runescape players that passed just passed away early October this year. RIP Vexxed. Brought tears to my eyes when the video made about Marlaine was made by Vexxed.
This is a really adorable story rare to find stories that have not been talked about a ton!
I really love that her an prime stayed together through it all, just imagine how different life would have been if they had not logged on wanting to cut some logs, or her wanting to use some logs its wild makes you really think about how tiny things can have huge knock on effects. Im happy you talked about this its was very sweet.
damn i didnt expect to cry from a runescape story today. what a wonderful life she got to live.
Sometimes we tend to forget about the humans behind these pixelated characters. Marlaine was one of them, she loved the game like we do, she found love through it, and for it. That should be celebrated. Thank you for sharing her story.
I've lost 3 childhood friends who I grew up with playing this game. I was the last of my friends group who continued to play. I've decided recently it's time to let go. I've searched for the nostalgia I was looking for and found it. This game still has a special place in my heart like all of yours.
This story is a beautiful one. I only wish I had the will to write mine, but my pen is out of ink, just as my heart is out of love for this game now. They say: "All good things must come to an end, and every story has the same ending." Good luck out there. God speed. I hope you find what you were looking for like I did.
Rip 12 0 13 1 N, newblood, 666 arrows. I'll see you again one day.
Come on bro, let’s go do Bandos
Rest in peace to your great friends and I hope that you find fulfillment within your life (not to say that you haven't), simply, well wishes and God speed.
@GsQDoom Thank you for your kind words. I know that life is short, and we shouldn't take it for granted. I've faced many challenges myself: from cars crushing me to many emergency room beds over the years. I always asked God why me? I have a family now and wish my friends could be here to meet them. I've held on to their memories through this game all of these years. I know now that I don't have to play a game to hold on to that memory because they're always going to be with me. I hope we all find happiness and purpose. Never forget those who brought meaning to your life just as Marlaine brought meaning to Primes. Every story has the same ending, but it's up to us who we want to share it with. One day, I'll write mine when it's almost over. Take care ❤️
@@SR-fw3zw Thank you for opening up, I think that you should continue to do so even before, when it's almost over. People tend to let it slip the mind that we are all in this together, the experience of life. Although it's easy to feel each unique experience as exactly that per individual, there's a good bit of revelation that comes from learning of the experience of others. It tends to help one or many not focus too much of the raindrops on the windshield, but rather of where one is going and that all roads lead to one. Peace and love, friend.
I'm not sure what my Password is p right on I just wanted a little more time before it got to that point so I don't plan to make another one for the time being I don't have a good time right now I will be too u😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊nhealthy
Just a note on the work authorization thing, but it's often misunderstood how messed up that system is. You get denied for no reason, there's years long delays, and sometimes worse. For some categories it's literally an annual lottery.
An interested fact is that you found this video by "Vexxed" who posted the 3 Famous players who are dead now, and he recently died on October 4th of this year.
Wow I had no idea he passed away, rest in peace ❤️
Someone watches ice poseidon still 😊
Is there any more info on this? I used to follow Vexxed but when they stopped posting years back I fell off. I had no idea they’d passed
That’s awful.
Good, crappy player
This was a very nice piece of history of both RS and of these people. Thank you for bringing it to the attention of a greater number of people. Smiling
Typing out “smiling” is so sweet and sincere. Rest in peace Marlaine
I was so sad to hear about falcon too, and so soon.
50s is way too young, more so for a new couple. Thank you for sharing
Worse, Prime was only 35 when he died if the date on that obituary is accurate. Taken way too soon.
I think this is a lovely memorial for Marlaine and Prime. Thank you for sharing their story.
Thank you for publishing her story even tho it brought me to tears, I learned something new and realize how many amazing people there are that you never hear of. This was very enjoyable to watch and the fact that you did your research with proof is top notch. Definatly got me as a new sub.
What an incredible and heartwarming journey Marlene had! Her story is a testament to the unexpected ways life can lead us to extraordinary adventures and connections. Marlene's dedication to RuneScape, her passion for blogging, and her kindness in helping others truly left a positive mark on the gaming community. It's heartening to see how she found love and companionship through the game, and her story reminds us of the beauty in the chance encounters that life brings our way.
Marlene's legacy lives on in the hearts of those who knew her and in the memories she left behind. She may not have sought fame, but her story has touched our hearts, and for that, we are grateful. Thank you for sharing this beautiful tale, and may Marlene and Prime Falcon rest in peace, knowing that their love and adventures continue to inspire others.
Thanks for sharing this Colonello. Marlaine and Bradley Floyd's memory gets to live on much longer.
The thing I love about hearing about old Runescape players is that there really are some beautiful stories there. I was really young when I started RS in 2008 and to think that I lived among these people at the time is an interesting feeling despite not knowing them then. I enjoy the stories of older RS because there wasn't such heavy reliance on official data like datamined guides or information -- stories were built on the individuals who played the game and more often than not, the pureness of those people oozed out to their legacies in the game. People like Marlaine and Bradley, Chessy, and TheOldNite.
May the newer generations and the older ones who may have not known them get something good from hearing about their lives. When things in the world seem big and bad, its these little stories in time that may remind us of the beauty in its own space.
I looked up Primefalcon's obituary and it states that he died "accidentally" at the age of 35. I'd hate to think he may have committed suicide after the loss of his wife. The two seemed really in love.
He was only 35? She was in her 60s, what a cougar
@@michaelwoods8299 50s not 60s.
What a memorial! Well done.. must have taken a lot of time to research all that information about her and her story. Thank you!
This was a really sweet video. Thanks for making this. It was really touching to hear about Marlaine and Prime's life paths intertwining this way. Runescape has brought so many people together. It really speaks to the core of what a social experience this game is.
Its nice someone can tell their story nowadays. smiling
Thank you for letting us know about Marlaine, it sounds like she lived a really interesting life and was talented at a lot of things. I was scared when the boyfriend was brought up that it'd end with him leaving but them spending the remainder of her life together was really heartwarming.
I don't think it's sad. It really just speaks to the fleeting beauty of life. They were brought together by chance and, perhaps slightly unknowingly, through the early internet , they shared what would become their life with a community that we've all been apart of. Their lives speak to a nostalgic time which many of us still cherish. It also really sounds like they were dedicated, loving, and kind people who sacrificed and endured a lot to be together. While they're no longer here, it feels like each of their blog posts is a little wave, and the video a huge smile from lives lived well.
It's intimate and lovely story.
In honor of this legendary scaper, may we forever change that :) to saying smiling. Matter of fact, a couple of my longest lasting relationships started off of RS haha
Such a touching video, you did their story and memory a great tribute
Thank you so much!
So wholesome yet so tragic. May their souls rest in peace.
:( what a video, truly heartwarming, may they both rest in peace
Im not crying, you're crying.
Thank you for sharing her story. I'm sure she'd be looking down smiling. R.I.P. Marlaine and Bradley.
😭😭😭 This is such a beautiful story! I legit cried, thank you for taking the time to make a video about her and her journey, so cool.
I love the way u Crumb and SirPugger makes jounalistic youtube videos!
Always look forward to the videos.
Cheers mate
Man, that anecdote about her writing “Smiling” to be more genuine is just so sweet. It was good of you to make this video and I’m glad that the game was able to bring more happiness into her life. It’s easy for things to spiral downhill after an injury like that but instead she was able to find a community to help foster. It hurts to think she was taken so soon, same with her husband whose last year was probably not a happy one. But we are still thinking of them, and that’s worth something.
In some small way, I think you’ve really paid homage to all forgotten victims of common tragedy, and that’s worthy of respect. It’s one of the highest purposes of art… to be able to relate our stories to others, to be understood and remembered, empathized with and learned from all at once.
Thank you for sharing, beautiful story about two people who loved each other and RuneScape. Can’t beat that
I adore these more personal videos. So many stories have been made through how players met on rs, and its awesome to see zome of them shared.
I sometimes like to go to random pages on the old rs clan wiki just to get a glimpse into the histories of different rs communities and player. Theres so many rich stories out there!
Thank you for telling the story. I know the loss of losing a scaper buddy to a disease like this. I still keep her account added to keep her close. While not everyone can be imortalized like this, its still good to remember our fallen comrades.
Been really enjoying your channel lately! Thanks for the fun uploads!
Love the videos as always, hopefully we can see more history/forgotten files videos o.o
More on the way :D
This is a really interesting story and I think both Marlaine and prime would really appreciate this video you’ve kept there legend alive now.
This was actually really sweet and wholesome to hear. It was a bit sad, but this video really felt like it came from a good place--to keep their memories going
It's nice of you to tell their story.
this didnt leave me feeling down. It made me feel good learning about someone with a passion for this game who was apart of RS history. Its nice that you made others aware of her legacy, enjoyed the vid!
This is a beautiful story... I did not know of this person but now I'm glad I took the time to watch your video!
Awww this is so sad, but you are right Marlaine was really lucky in a lot of ways too, and she must've been so happy everything worked out how they did for years. I've never heard of her, but nice people like her deserve to be in the public eye more. There''s so much negativity online and in the news.
What a beautiful, well put together video. Well done, Colonello!
Thank you very much!
What an absolutely WONDERFUL video!! Totally not what I expected when I clicked on it. You should be very proud of this one, I'm sure it would mean a lot to her loved ones.
Thank you!!!
Man, this is an amazing video, bro. The both of them must be giving you thanks. Such a rare item to find!
This teared me up. Thanks for sharing her and PrimeFalcon's story
Wow. What a beautiful memorialization. You’ve earned my sub, that was an amazing story.
I dont cry, ever. And this had me to the point of tears. Thanks for sharing Marlaines incredible journy
Dude, this is why you are the GOAT.
Thank you for sharing this story and bringing her back to life for a moment
Thank you so much! ❤
This video is so moving! Cried at the end. Thank you for telling her story, Smiling
This is beautiful, thank you for sharing man!
Thank you for documenting Marlaine's story ❤
Always a good day when Colonello uploads, even if he's trying to make you cry
This is a really sweet story. Thanks Colonello for all your hard work.
Colonello you're a legend in my book keep up the amazing work you do wonderful thing for the OSRS community!
Thanks, will do!!
Smiling
Smiling
this was a sweet and touching video man, much props for sharing her story
It's super refreshing to hear new stories from a 20 year old game.
Awesome work as usual colonello
I met my wife through gaming myself and it's wild the compatibility, 6 years marriage later and still going!
Always love your videos keep at it!
Beautiful video, thanks Colonello
This is such a sweet and authentic tribute to Marlaine and Primefalcan. Great work as always 🖤
If I could like 100 times I would, this was a great video and great story, I can imagine Marlaine would love how you portrayed her story. --> smiling
Top tier video as usual. Fantastic to learn about players I’d never heard of and their incredible, yet sad, story. My heart is warm.
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Beautiful story, thank you for telling it!
This was in fact quite an interesting story, thank you. It's interesting how people meet, live and impact the world.
Probably one of your best videos on an unexpected topic/player. Thank you.
Great story and awesome video. RIP to them both
Beautiful story, thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Dude. This story indirectly tells regular folks about how this game and its community add extreme value to eachother's lives. Much love my dude and RIP to that great couple.
I cant say I've ever heard of her until this video, but man that really was sweet. I'm very curious to read her blogs now, might spark some inspiration for myself.
Somber but beautiful video. They both died so tragically young, but it's great to know their story is remembered and that at the very end, they had eachother.
This was an awesome story I've never heard thanks Nello
Honestly we need a Marlenes miscellanea general store somewhere in the game
Man its so nice hearing old stories from the classic era of runescape.
This video really touched me, I also met my partner on Runescape after a long distance relationship and we're living together. I also have cancer (in remission) as others have said, this video did the opposite of make me feel down, great video, thank you!
Seeing their obituary gave my chills :(
RIP Marlaine & Falcon
I've never heard of her before. I'm glad you told her life adventure and her legend continues to live on. Wholesome content.
Man… I just ended up crying out of nowhere man. Thank you for sharing this. It was very inspiring 😢😢😢
I’m still crying ….
Celebrating her life, rather than focusing on her death, was a really good choice for this video. What a wonderful person to learn about.
Thanks for telling their stories. Hopefully wherever ended up, they’re together.
I'm glad you shared their story. smiling
Dude Im bawling. Didn’t expect this
Have never been this early! Love the vids man!
A sad ending, but an amazing story nonetheless. R.I.P. to this couple. Smiles
The craziest thing about this video, Vexxed, the person who made the original video on her (that you showed), died recently too.
The fact that they were able to make as much money as they did back when Rs was honestly ancient compared to now Is actually amazing. Although the story Is pretty sad. At least she was able to do what she loved and enjoyed during her last few years and was able to spend It with someone she truly loved. Same for him too!
Thank you for a wonderful story about a legend I didn't know who they were, but have witnessed and read many things by them :)
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Ironic that vexxed made the video about the runescape players that died, also died.
good job on this video, makes me want to tear up and cry
Long live Marlaine !! What a sweet remembrance piece for those who’ve laid the ground for us xx
Thank you for sharing their story. I had no idea. RIP to them both.
loved this video thanks for sharing
Wow great video man!!!
Thank you!!
You should make a video on slayerbelle. She was the first untried slayercape in rs and the first 10 hp 99 slayer before soulwars. She use to blog her progress and make videos
The fact that the youtuber who made the 3 RuneScape players who are dead now video "Vexxed" literally just died, is crazy to me. Life is fragile and ends suddenly sometimes, bit cliche but hey - very true.
