I was that 15 year old Timmy and yes my computer was taken away several times because my Mom heard you saying the no-no words lol. I’m a junior in college now and I wouldn’t trade those times for anything. Godspeed ISP. 🙂
I get what you mean. My mom heard the words "artillery only" coming from this fledgling Timmy's family computer one day and immediately threw the entire pc out of the window
Thank you, ISP, for making a substantial part of my childhood! You're the one who introduced me to all of these amazing games, and through those, I made many amazing friends. It's safe to say that you influenced my life for the better! Thanks again, don't know where I'd be without you!
I thought he was a kiwi for years since I remembered something about it but I thought I was also crazy since he has mentioned living in Europe and now I finally know I am not crazy.
I supported him when it came out that Mr. I. S. Productions started a small armed militia in the British countryside but idk if I can support him through this
5:50 The irony of iSorrow talking about music copyright and then getting hit with an ad for youtube music. UA-cam, I don't think you understand how that doesn't put you in a better light.
oh dude i still remember the first time i noticed the ironside pitch being different and i thought i was going insane. very cool though that you could just identify certain videos by the specific ironsde intro edit
I joined on my old account in 2016 with the Lazy Town vids, Chef Boyardee, Slough, isis playthrough. Since then funnily enough you're the only youtuber that i still watch. One of those small things that never changed from being a kid till an adult. Thanks mate i appreciate the work and effort you put in!
Same, my tastes have changed so much, and isp and bo are the only people I routinely watch play games anymore. Chef boyardee has brought back some memories lmao
I'm 39. Let me tell you, I still act like I'm in my early 20's. Despite the fact my knees are telling me "oh dear lord, what are you doing?" and my back has been on strike for the last three years.
That's the terrifying part about aging. You don't feel any different mentally. You'd act the same way if you could get away with it. But you can't. Back then you were the silly boy. Now, with the same act, you're the balding creep. You're the same person, but your body around you aged and sagged and is breaking down.
Been here for long enough to have UA-cam mysteriously unsubscribe me from the channel three times. Gravy Baby is now Gravy Timmy. They grow up so fast.
I remember first watching when the lazytown video because Stefan died the DAY before my 21st birthday and lazytown was a major part of my childhood so this little timmy poured one out and got wasted in the name of our icelandic villainy overlord, and then i finally bought hoi4 around that same year and discovered this rollercoaster ride that is the rts community. Thank you for the years of laughs, no matter how controversial (or YT guideline safe) it has to be. You still make amazing content that puts smiles on our faces. Been going through a really tough time and these videos definitely help.
Normal german gameplay is really surprisingly interrsting. Like sorrow content is usually trimmed down for the key parts, but seeing genuine gameplay from a skilled player is cool.
Funnily enough I think the first video I watched of yours was your Civilization 6 video on australia, March 16 2017. Since then I've seen the highs and lows but it's been a good ride. Glad you kept on trucking to Moscow through the lows though. I still watch every video and I'm looking forward to seeing more. Hopefully you can reach a million, maybe we can get you some more cool art like we did for your 500k celebration. It'll take a big effort though as I think you probably have more than 90% of the hoi4 audience already subbed at this point. Would love to see more Bo collab's as you playing Minecraft with Bo and Vale are some of my favourite videos of yours.
Wow, I found the main channel in early 2017, before I'd ever played a paradox game. Can't believe it's been so long. Thanks for so many videos for all these years, made Univeristy during Covid a lot less unbearable.
I stumbled across the channel in 2017 and subscribed in the push to 200k for the face reveal. I bought HOI4 and Vicky 2 because of your videos, and have wasted thousands of hours playing them so thanks for that. I've also spent countless hours watching and rewatching UA-cam videos from ISP and many others, and couldn't have asked for a better bunch of channels. So thank you iSorrowproductions for the wonderful entertainment and the millions of laughs over the years, and here's to many more! P.S. my happiest moment of the channel is when ISP made a video from a suggestion I made (probably) It was the HOI4 don't break Versailles challenge btw.
Yeah I get it, when I started watching you I was midway through highschool and now I've graduated college and work for a living. I feel old, I remember all those fake application videos you made for the yogscast and the grills of history eu4 vid you did ages ago. Remember when the second channel was just hoi4 and chill videos. I remember, I still don't know songs you played in those. If anyone remembers please tell me it has been bothering me for years
Yo if you’re looking for that old piano song, it’s called In My Lovers Hand by Goldenage Radio. It got wiped off of UA-cam and every other streaming platform but someone reuploaded it onto YT a few months ago.
one of your quotes that are basically stuck in my head was from you playing as Saddam Hussein and invading US while yelling: "COME OUT BUSH COME OUT YOU ANTICHRIST!" and I'm still sobbing over the fact that video had to be deleted
Juvenile 22 year old Timmy here. I stumbled upon you around 2017-2018 (can't quite remember), and quite frankly I found you obnoxious Fast forward to the beginning of the original A to Z, I saw your Albania video in the recommendations, and I watched, just to see where you're at 3 and something years later. Obviously the series grew on me a lot. You've been my "comfort" UA-camr ever since, I hate to phrase it like that because it sounds way too weird and borderline parasocial. I just put you at the top of my watch priorities because I know that whatever you upload I will enjoy. And for a fun fact, you're like the only guy I got a membership for, of course I dabbled a month or two on other channels, but your channel is the only one that I actually stuck for however many months at this point. EDIT: I have not forgotten, I am still waiting for that stupid Stellaris video.
I started with those Vic2 videos and the ISP channel videos. Those are some of the funniest and best gameplay videos I’ve seen on youtube, which is why the new HOI4-only status quo is mixed for me, even though I play HOI4 all the time. But anyhow, thank you for being in my screens and entertaining me!
I dont remember exactly how i found your channel but my earliest memories of your videos was the Lazytown/Slough era, as well as those old Vicky 2 videos you did. "8TH! OPIUM WAR!" is permanently burned into my brain lol. I remember Trucking to Moscow, the start of the gravy babies thing, a lot of that older era. I think you handled the personality transition very well because it honestly took me a while to even notice the changes and it didnt really click that anything had changed until that process was practically complete. You're one of the very few UA-camrs ive kept up with over the years because from the edge to the slop, i always know im in for a good time with one of your videos. I will say though, i genuinely think the Sims 3 Chef Boyardee videos were some of the best content youve ever made and i really hope you return to that while theres still some nostalgia in this November. See you in Slough for the annual Slopfest!
I subbed to your channel back in the EU4 days of 2015/16... And now I discover the channel was already 7+ years old back then It has been a wild ride and half nonetheless, glad to see it going strong still
ISP has sort of followed me from when I first started becoming a lawyer, now in the third year of law school. Still making time for my map games. Thank you mr isp.
I think I subbed around 2016 if I remember correctly. Seeing you change your content and grow throughout these 8 years (oh god it has been 8 years) has been a blast with all the memes and funny moments. All the stupid things like having us spam pewdiepie about artillery only, to like you mentioned the iron side intros, to the rat has never failed to put a smile on my face and make some great memories. Keep up the work isp, 1mil is just around the corner.
When you started mentioning all the eras you made me reminisce of the time I was in middle school watching your HOI4 videos. I can actually recall the day I saw the artillery only video. Good times, keep em coming.
This has been an awesome retrospective. 🙂 Been watching since 2016 when I was 17 and a senior in high school; I made this account in the summer of 2017 I think, as a bored incoming music undergrad who noticed the intro differences, and was like, 'huh.' Glad I gave you some laughs too 😁 Here's to a great new year.
I'll 33 right now. For me 30 was a HUGE change in my life because turns out I was super depressed my whole life and dint get treated. I actually went to therapy, and got my life together. After 30 I really actually started living instead of just being around. I mean... Fuck man, I got a wife and kids now!
It's good to hear therapy working for men for a change. Usually when I hear people getting therapy the end result is the same with them still being lonely and stuck in place, even when they claim therapy made them feel better.
Definitely a strange take from my experience. It's not magic, and you get what you put in -- you don't learn anything sleeping in class, however smart the professor is. Shop around, find someone you vibe with, use them and try their advice. It's a very effective way to challenge your own thinking, but it isn't going to force you to restructure your life. If you're curious, give it a try with tempered expectations, and don't forget that misery loves company -- people love to complain/brag how things didn't work for them, while people like the OP are busy moving on. ❤
ISP, I started watching these videos in 2016 and it really has been a wild ride. When I started watching I was starting my first year of high school at a new school where I didn't know anyone. Now I've got a degree in history, work for the US government, and have a big group of friends I see several times a week. I still always find the time to watch the silly man play the world war 2 game though. Thanks for the memories my guy and here's to the next chapter
damn, I always tought you were called iSorrowProductions because you felt sorrow playing these games (due to the whole joke that playing mapgames makes you go insane and suffer great pain)
Ive been around for about 4-5 years now and still to this day watch every video soon after it comes out. Its become like a dinner ritual for me to watch the latest ISP Video while eating. I stopped playing hoi4 myself for about a year now but am still very much enjoying your content and hopefully will do so for another 4 years ❤
I don’t usually ever leave comments but I had to after watching this video. I didn’t remember when I subscribed so I checked and ISorrowProductions was the first channel I ever subscribed to, back in 2017, probably for a subscriber goal. I am now subscribed to over a hundred channels and had no idea this was the first. I definitely remember some of the edgier political videos from 2015/2016, especially the Victoria 2 ones. It’s crazy to see how much the channel has changed without me ever even really noticing. ISP if you read this then thanks for all the joy you’ve brought me over the last 8 years, looking forward to at least 8 more.
@isp, i have watched you from about 2017 and i am glad you have enjoyed your development through the years and im overjoyed to see you expand and grow. godspeed man and hope to see you do a meet the fans sort of video either on this channel or ISP
Can't remember what exact video I first watched (think it might've been one of the 2016 ones) but I really started getting into the channel around the HOI4 break era. The Cities Skylines and Victoria 2 videos hold the most nostalgia by far
It genuinely mind-boggling for me to look back and think that 8 years ago I started watching my first Isorrowproductions video unaware of how it would help develop a at the time new set of interests that are still very much with me to this day. 8 years ago I unironically watched youtube on my 3DS. The least I can say for the amount of ISP content I have consumed is thank you. The consistency of this channel over the years definitely been a reason for returning.
man it’s been so long since i started watching you, and i’ve loved every moment of it. been here since 40k subs i think and it’s been amazing watching your channel progress
Yooo I made it into an ISP video! Thanks for the entertainment through the years. Looking back, there genuinely is not a single UA-camr I have watched as consistently. I tend to get really into a UA-cam channel, watch it religiously for a few months, and then forget about it or they change their content. With your channel, it's just a routine to watch a new upload at this point.
ISP, I still want to thank you for introducing me to Hoi4 and the Paradox games. They have given my thousands of hours of fun and enjoyment, like you have also done with your video's, and helped shape the passions I have today (mostly history). I also remember the Drew and Alex video coming out and seeing Artillery Only comments on Pewdiepie's video's and it's crazy to think that that is now 6, almost 7 years ago. Can't wait to see you play Hoi5 in 6 to 7 years!
i remember finding your channel at first in like 2015/2016, crazy to think back now on how long thats been, i remember back then how the channel started to really pick up pace, hitting those early sub goals, i was like 14, now im about to turn 23, makes me feel very old seeing those old clips of how you used to talk and how crappy your old mic was, i recognized that Tyrone video too
Oh my god, that EU4 clip is a throwback to a period on your channel I completely forgot about. I started getting into Paradox Games with EU4 in 2014. I was terrible at the game so I was shopping around for UA-camrs to watch, then I find this snarky lad goofing around on EU4 and i was hooked. 2014 was 10 years ago, that doesnt make sense.
Ngl I didn’t even know that the age of civilizations dev did that. He shouldn’t act like that when all he did was port a mobile game to PC and then abandon it as far as I know.
I'm 57 and recall being 16 and me and my friend asking a teacher how old he was. When he replied "32", we both went "wow". 😂 My daughter turns 32 next year. 😳🙄😂
Kinda crazy how long it has been and how much I changed since I first discovered your channel. I was a 16 year old, watching HOI4 videos and not knowing what to do with my life. Now I am a 23 year old, watching HOI4 videos and not knowing what to do with my life.
It was around 2017 that I started watching you and it's kinda crazy how even though my life changed so much during these years, you were something consistent that I could always get back into. How far this channel has come is honestly amazing and I wanna say thank you. For many more years to come!
iSorrowproductions is the reason why I got into Hoi4 in the first place back in late 2023 (sometime after By Blood Alone came out) and it has since become one of my most favorite games ever. He's genuinely one of my most favorite UA-camrs ever.
ISP I've been watching you since 2017 and boy howdy did I go from 7th grade to late college. You almost single handedly made me get into paradox games and you have most certainly made me stick with them. Glad to see you doing well and creating more channels, wish you the best in the upcoming years!
I started watching your videos back in high-school. I finished college last year and now I'm a teacher. Haven't played HOI4 even an hour in my entire life and still love your work to this day ❤
kinda wild that i've watched you since you basically started out. i was 12 years old in 2016, when i started watching you, and now I'm 20: for 6 of those 8 years i've played HOI, and you're a big reason why it's my most played game. keep rocking ISP, say hi to the yogscast for me
While I saw some of your older videos, I only became a regular around 2018. I believe that the video that made me subscribe was the OG country roulette - a classic. Thank you, ISP for so many years of fun. Here's to even more! ❤
Beginning of this year, I wanted to watch videos at my desk job that I didn’t need to pay attention to. So I turned yours on and it turned into a “oh I actually WANT to watch these”
Ive only been watching the channel for about 3 years now, your one of the few youtubers i still watch regularly always nice to hear a update from the man himself
I remember I got to know the channel during artillery only. I actually got addicted to Isorrowproductions since then. I proudly watched hoi4 a to z while it was being made. Long live Islopproductions🙏
I've been watching this channel since probably late 2016 when i was at college. Its kinda insane thinking back to how long its been at this point. I loved the random x y z mod videos but honestly your channel has always been a very comfy constancy in my life. I often go back and listen to older videos for back ground noise or to help me sleep so even today thayre still comfy. Thank you for continuing to upload all this time, its really helped me through a lot
I got on bored during the eu 4 era, I work up as an 8 year old everyday before school and checked your channel, you have brought me so many great memories and honestly you helped me to become a better person, more “well rounded” thank you for all you have done
seeing you play hoi4 so much for so many years is still wild to me since I vividly remember when you said you where burned out by the game, crazy how time flies
I actually found your channel through the city skylines videos, I remember when they were coming out back in '18, and I watched some of the hoi4 things you had back then and I just fell in love with the channel, have been an avid viewer ever since
I started watching in late 2017 (ish). This was when I first found out about HoI4. I remember waiting for a class in college and seeing your video pop into my homepage.
From the 2017 era. It has been a wild ride. But I have enjoyed it immensely, your videos really helped me in college so for that thank you! Excited to see what the future holds for you!
Miss that classic ironside *verrbonk* noise at the start of each video. I started watching in 2019 with the Vicky 2 stuff. Good times. Still have no clue how to play that game.
I can't believe its been this long since I've watched your videos. I think I started watching slightly before the huge boom of crazy mods like TESCO, lazy town and sorts. Its great to see how much your channels have grown as they've always been a great source of entertainment for me. Here's to many more in the future!
I always enjoy these more sit down moments. It’s crazy looking back on the years. Love the content as always and can’t wait to see what’s in the coming years. I believe I joined about midway through 2018ish era. Haven’t looked back since
I cannot believe İSorrowproductions would do something like this (I haven't watched the video)
I can't believe he killed all those kids....
@@NotFunctional-everWe must thank isorrow for exposing isorrowproductions
I can belive what Isorrow would do (I haven’t fished watching the ads)
@@NotFunctional-ever It was awful...
“Schlop” couldn’t live without bringing up what he did.
Thanks for the shout out fella, love ya
You're just as funny, and you are a cinnamon roll of a Hoi 4 youtuber
You are just as great as ISP imho
The iSorrowProductions Situation is Crazy!
Can't believe he oiled you up in the video, that's crazy
hello everyone its me moistcritikal today we are talking about isorrowproductions drama
I could pinn you like a little rabbit
I was that 15 year old Timmy and yes my computer was taken away several times because my Mom heard you saying the no-no words lol. I’m a junior in college now and I wouldn’t trade those times for anything. Godspeed ISP. 🙂
Your mother was actually trying to save you from being sad about not having the Rat.
@@Bananamanmk53-yv2phnot all heroes wear capes
I get what you mean. My mom heard the words "artillery only" coming from this fledgling Timmy's family computer one day and immediately threw the entire pc out of the window
Damn, we might be the same person
@@sharkestry1119 hope you are a big eagle timmy for this timmy has adapted to the C
Thank you, ISP, for making a substantial part of my childhood! You're the one who introduced me to all of these amazing games, and through those, I made many amazing friends. It's safe to say that you influenced my life for the better! Thanks again, don't know where I'd be without you!
real af
I can’t believe time passes, cause yeah, me too
Who's ISP? Isn't that other guy who sounds like isorrowproduction
iSorrow being a kiwi is not even the worst part of this situation to be honest with you
I thought he was a kiwi for years since I remembered something about it but I thought I was also crazy since he has mentioned living in Europe and now I finally know I am not crazy.
Damn, my people are the ones that claim responsibility for bringing him into this world
If I remember correctly he set location as New Zealand as a meme and couldn't change it, he's actually from the UK.
with his accent, he definitely isn't a kiwi
@@metetural9140 What is his accent? He lives in the UK but he sounds American
islopproductions situation is insane
I supported him when it came out that Mr. I. S. Productions started a small armed militia in the British countryside but idk if I can support him through this
I fucking can’t believe I have been watching the same slop for 7 god damn years now… I miss artillery only
ISP still is evading the hard hitting questions such as: are there rats forcing him to play HOI4 like Remy Ratatouille?
I think some of his videos are actually made a giant pile of rats pretending to be him after knocking him out with a cartoonishly large hammer
@@ciphergacha9100 Ah yes, the Wallace and Rat loophole
5:50 The irony of iSorrow talking about music copyright and then getting hit with an ad for youtube music. UA-cam, I don't think you understand how that doesn't put you in a better light.
0:33 I made it mom, I'm famous. I'm in a Slop video from Drew's daddy.
Tell us his girlfriend is a twitch streamer but doesn’t say who it is. Is he afraid we would be too cringe? Make her play banat or something
lmfao
clearly his girlfriend is bo
Wise tbh
it's gee
>inb4 it’s pokemane or bell Delphine
oh dude i still remember the first time i noticed the ironside pitch being different and i thought i was going insane. very cool though that you could just identify certain videos by the specific ironsde intro edit
I joined on my old account in 2016 with the Lazy Town vids, Chef Boyardee, Slough, isis playthrough. Since then funnily enough you're the only youtuber that i still watch.

One ol' iSorrow video that will forever live in my head is the Victoria II one with the 8 Opium Wars.
Good times!
PLAY THE MUSIC SMALL FILIPINO BOY
8TH
OPIUM WAR
I reference the *8TH! OPIUM WAR!* occasionally with some of my friends and we all can still picture most of that video. It really stuck.
i can litterally hear this sentence
It'll forever be my favourite video of his
People saying he addressed the situation are clearly forgetting he didn't even ONCE bring up the Dallas 1963 incident smh.
November 22?
Thanks for feeding into my Parasocial Relationship, honey!
Been here for long enough to have UA-cam mysteriously unsubscribe me from the channel three times.

Man what a way to announce the end of your channel, big fan and I will miss hearing you in Bokoen videos.
We need more Vale and definitely some Rimmy collabs with ISP
Thanks for all the memories man, your videos have got me through a lot of hard times
I remember that I used to like mustard and now I don't like mustard because it gives me headaches.
same but with tomato soup
must be because of mustard gas being produced when you consume mustard.

When you started mentioning all the eras you made me reminisce of the time I was in middle school watching your HOI4 videos. I can actually recall the day I saw the artillery only video. Good times, keep em coming.
Can't believe iSorrowProductions did that to ISP....
This has been an awesome retrospective. 🙂
Been watching since 2016 when I was 17 and a senior in high school; I made this account in the summer of 2017 I think, as a bored incoming music undergrad who noticed the intro differences, and was like, 'huh.' Glad I gave you some laughs too 😁 Here's to a great new year.
I'll 33 right now. For me 30 was a HUGE change in my life because turns out I was super depressed my whole life and dint get treated.
I actually went to therapy, and got my life together. After 30 I really actually started living instead of just being around.
I mean... Fuck man, I got a wife and kids now!
It's good to hear therapy working for men for a change.
Usually when I hear people getting therapy the end result is the same with them still being lonely and stuck in place, even when they claim therapy made them feel better.
Definitely a strange take from my experience. It's not magic, and you get what you put in -- you don't learn anything sleeping in class, however smart the professor is.
Shop around, find someone you vibe with, use them and try their advice. It's a very effective way to challenge your own thinking, but it isn't going to force you to restructure your life.
If you're curious, give it a try with tempered expectations, and don't forget that misery loves company -- people love to complain/brag how things didn't work for them, while people like the OP are busy moving on. ❤
ISP, I started watching these videos in 2016 and it really has been a wild ride. When I started watching I was starting my first year of high school at a new school where I didn't know anyone. Now I've got a degree in history, work for the US government, and have a big group of friends I see several times a week. I still always find the time to watch the silly man play the world war 2 game though. Thanks for the memories my guy and here's to the next chapter
damn, I always tought you were called iSorrowProductions because you felt sorrow playing these games (due to the whole joke that playing mapgames makes you go insane and suffer great pain)
just adds to the meaning, yeah lmao. Definitely a secondary meaning for me at this point
damn, you just threw me back 15 years with that soldier front clip
Ive been around for about 4-5 years now and still to this day watch every video soon after it comes out. Its become like a dinner ritual for me to watch the latest ISP Video while eating. I stopped playing hoi4 myself for about a year now but am still very much enjoying your content and hopefully will do so for another 4 years ❤
I don’t usually ever leave comments but I had to after watching this video. I didn’t remember when I subscribed so I checked and ISorrowProductions was the first channel I ever subscribed to, back in 2017, probably for a subscriber goal. I am now subscribed to over a hundred channels and had no idea this was the first. I definitely remember some of the edgier political videos from 2015/2016, especially the Victoria 2 ones. It’s crazy to see how much the channel has changed without me ever even really noticing. ISP if you read this then thanks for all the joy you’ve brought me over the last 8 years, looking forward to at least 8 more.
been here since 2016. 34 now and still a proud little Gravy Timmy, looking forward to spending eternity here in the HoI4 mines
@isp, i have watched you from about 2017 and i am glad you have enjoyed your development through the years and im overjoyed to see you expand and grow. godspeed man and hope to see you do a meet the fans sort of video either on this channel or ISP
Can't remember what exact video I first watched (think it might've been one of the 2016 ones) but I really started getting into the channel around the HOI4 break era. The Cities Skylines and Victoria 2 videos hold the most nostalgia by far
It genuinely mind-boggling for me to look back and think that 8 years ago I started watching my first Isorrowproductions video unaware of how it would help develop a at the time new set of interests that are still very much with me to this day. 8 years ago I unironically watched youtube on my 3DS. The least I can say for the amount of ISP content I have consumed is thank you. The consistency of this channel over the years definitely been a reason for returning.
Huge slop drama
0:34 He loves us :3
man it’s been so long since i started watching you, and i’ve loved every moment of it. been here since 40k subs i think and it’s been amazing watching your channel progress
I remember starting to watch isp at 12 years old in like 2018, I blame him for my map game addiction now
Yooo I made it into an ISP video!
Thanks for the entertainment through the years. Looking back, there genuinely is not a single UA-camr I have watched as consistently. I tend to get really into a UA-cam channel, watch it religiously for a few months, and then forget about it or they change their content. With your channel, it's just a routine to watch a new upload at this point.
The lazy-town arc will forever be in my heart, good times.
ISP, I still want to thank you for introducing me to Hoi4 and the Paradox games. They have given my thousands of hours of fun and enjoyment, like you have also done with your video's, and helped shape the passions I have today (mostly history). I also remember the Drew and Alex video coming out and seeing Artillery Only comments on Pewdiepie's video's and it's crazy to think that that is now 6, almost 7 years ago. Can't wait to see you play Hoi5 in 6 to 7 years!
Artillery only when with super howitzers
i remember finding your channel at first in like 2015/2016, crazy to think back now on how long thats been, i remember back then how the channel started to really pick up pace, hitting those early sub goals, i was like 14, now im about to turn 23, makes me feel very old seeing those old clips of how you used to talk and how crappy your old mic was, i recognized that Tyrone video too
31:10 7 years ago. Albania World Conquest.
Oh my god, that EU4 clip is a throwback to a period on your channel I completely forgot about.
I started getting into Paradox Games with EU4 in 2014. I was terrible at the game so I was shopping around for UA-camrs to watch, then I find this snarky lad goofing around on EU4 and i was hooked.
2014 was 10 years ago, that doesnt make sense.
Ngl I didn’t even know that the age of civilizations dev did that. He shouldn’t act like that when all he did was port a mobile game to PC and then abandon it as far as I know.
He's just released a third version, but yeah it's got a weird cult following that despises you if you say anything bad about it.
I'm 57 and recall being 16 and me and my friend asking a teacher how old he was. When he replied "32", we both went "wow". 😂 My daughter turns 32 next year. 😳🙄😂
he did WHAT to the rat?!
Kinda crazy how long it has been and how much I changed since I first discovered your channel. I was a 16 year old, watching HOI4 videos and not knowing what to do with my life. Now I am a 23 year old, watching HOI4 videos and not knowing what to do with my life.
I can't believe Tyrone Davis said that. Thanks for clearing the air on the controversy.
It was around 2017 that I started watching you and it's kinda crazy how even though my life changed so much during these years, you were something consistent that I could always get back into.
How far this channel has come is honestly amazing and I wanna say thank you. For many more years to come!
iSorrowproductions is the reason why I got into Hoi4 in the first place back in late 2023 (sometime after By Blood Alone came out) and it has since become one of my most favorite games ever. He's genuinely one of my most favorite UA-camrs ever.
ISP I've been watching you since 2017 and boy howdy did I go from 7th grade to late college. You almost single handedly made me get into paradox games and you have most certainly made me stick with them. Glad to see you doing well and creating more channels, wish you the best in the upcoming years!
The story behind your name was a lot more intricate than I thought, I always assumed it was just "I sad and make video"
27:15 my god I remember this video! Is that stuff is on the channel???
0:59 YOU’RE FROM NEW ZEALAND??
No way I was sure he was British.
@@RichardMontgomeryYT same!!! i thought he was from northern england
i thought he was australian lel
I started watching your videos back in high-school. I finished college last year and now I'm a teacher. Haven't played HOI4 even an hour in my entire life and still love your work to this day ❤
kinda wild that i've watched you since you basically started out. i was 12 years old in 2016, when i started watching you, and now I'm 20: for 6 of those 8 years i've played HOI, and you're a big reason why it's my most played game. keep rocking ISP, say hi to the yogscast for me
While I saw some of your older videos, I only became a regular around 2018. I believe that the video that made me subscribe was the OG country roulette - a classic.
Thank you, ISP for so many years of fun. Here's to even more! ❤
19:05 lol yeah you definitely can't record everything in Paradoxes games it's already a couple of hours
I'm glad you talked about the EUIV era, that's when I discovered you and I used to watch those videos to death when I was first getting in to EUIV.
I remember when the quill18 beef era happen😢
Beginning of this year, I wanted to watch videos at my desk job that I didn’t need to pay attention to. So I turned yours on and it turned into a “oh I actually WANT to watch these”
I love how often you mention that if you wanted to you totally could do something by just sending a message but you just don’t
late 2016, grandma's couch, playing your videos on her tv while playing minecraft pocket edition on her ipad. my teenage years were amazing
ImOldProductions situation is insane
Ive only been watching the channel for about 3 years now, your one of the few youtubers i still watch regularly always nice to hear a update from the man himself
I remember I got to know the channel during artillery only. I actually got addicted to Isorrowproductions since then. I proudly watched hoi4 a to z while it was being made. Long live Islopproductions🙏
I've been watching this channel since probably late 2016 when i was at college. Its kinda insane thinking back to how long its been at this point. I loved the random x y z mod videos but honestly your channel has always been a very comfy constancy in my life. I often go back and listen to older videos for back ground noise or to help me sleep so even today thayre still comfy.
Thank you for continuing to upload all this time, its really helped me through a lot
I got on bored during the eu 4 era, I work up as an 8 year old everyday before school and checked your channel, you have brought me so many great memories and honestly you helped me to become a better person, more “well rounded” thank you for all you have done
seeing you play hoi4 so much for so many years is still wild to me since I vividly remember when you said you where burned out by the game, crazy how time flies
I actually found your channel through the city skylines videos, I remember when they were coming out back in '18, and I watched some of the hoi4 things you had back then and I just fell in love with the channel, have been an avid viewer ever since
To think I joined just before the 200k special I feel old now. Thanks for all the fun over the years lol.
Hey Issorrow you got me into this game a long time ago. Glad you are still going
I got here way back in the early hoi4 days. I still remember watching that artillery only video and having a tear roll down my cheek. It was wonderful
I started watching in late 2017 (ish). This was when I first found out about HoI4. I remember waiting for a class in college and seeing your video pop into my homepage.
From the 2017 era. It has been a wild ride. But I have enjoyed it immensely, your videos really helped me in college so for that thank you! Excited to see what the future holds for you!
Damn, that old clip from the EUIV vid absolutely shot me back in time
Miss that classic ironside *verrbonk* noise at the start of each video. I started watching in 2019 with the Vicky 2 stuff. Good times. Still have no clue how to play that game.
My brain definitely remembered if I'd seen a video by the meme bonk intros.
I can't believe its been this long since I've watched your videos. I think I started watching slightly before the huge boom of crazy mods like TESCO, lazy town and sorts. Its great to see how much your channels have grown as they've always been a great source of entertainment for me. Here's to many more in the future!
I always enjoy these more sit down moments. It’s crazy looking back on the years. Love the content as always and can’t wait to see what’s in the coming years. I believe I joined about midway through 2018ish era. Haven’t looked back since
