The play could end now or go on indefinitely. If we collectively carry that weight, it isn't so heavy. If you're feeling profoundly sad right now, it just means that you've felt profound happiness before, and that feeling will return. Live until you die. And finally, it's a lot to ask, but I don't want you to be sad that he's gone, I want you to be amazed that any of us ever got to discover Kyle at all.
That's so cool to hear. Great to know that even those unfamiliar with the source material can still appreciate this. I assume you've never seen Kyle do his Tetris streams from a few years ago, so you could also check out my sequel to this video all about him overcoming a legendary highscore in Tetris. It should be on the home page of my channel.
Had to come back to this after the announcement. This video is perfection and I will miss Kyle dearly, though I’m looking forward to what he’s doing next
I still come back here regularly. Such an amazing edit from days of dedication. 4 years later, it's almost become a concept album at this point. I just love listening to it
Hey everyone... it's weird for me to feel proud of this success, considering the main message of this tribute was to do things to make yourself happy and not to be successful or futilely try to make others care, but in less than two weeks my video has over 10,000 views, which is more than I ever expected. I'd like to say that I'm not some "attention starved weirdo" but the truth is every single positive comment on youtube, reddit, twitter, facebook, and neogaf has lifted my spirits. Conversely, my Breaking Bad tribute, which was for a much more popular subject barely broke 100 views (half of them were from myself). I think the difference, based on so many comments I've read, is that no one expected so much effort to be made for something so relatively unpopular (my favorite being "this video is a miracle of the universe"). Just goes to show you that doing something no one else is willing to do will turn heads. Thanks again, everyone, for giving a damn and watching the whole thing, and for sharing the video and your feelings. Also, I'm almost positive Kyle's mom retweeted the video, so I can now die happy.
+quagthias Hey man, I'm the guy you linked this to on Kotaku (After I mentioned I used to have a crush on Kyle, heh). Seriously buddy, you did good work on this. Well done man. =)
+quagthias I watch this whenever I need inspiration, so I watch it about once a week. It's perfect dude, this video is so well done. Thank you for taking time to make this.
Just incredible. Made me tear up a few times. I definitely feel for both Kyle and the creator of this video on multiple levels. May none of us ever tilt the right analog stick all the way forward. I love the analogy of Kyle's total weirdo Batman to Michael Huber's Joker. I love every last tiny joke you made with the editing and the voiceover. The dreamy synth pop soundtrack that you personally mixed together. I couldn't appreciate this video more. Thank you for all of the time, love, and heartbreak you put into this video. "You're alone in this world" "I will WIN this alone!!"
+oh my sexy lord Comments like this one make it all worth it. I'm looking forward to finally getting back into gaming now that I'm done. Although already this morning I started working on a video of extras that didn't make the cut. I'll never learn...
I'm pretty confident Bosman is an actual genius, and you are a genius for recognizing his genius. That's how it works. Exceptional tribute. It's just too bad Kyle's been locked up for life after that whole "Link to the Past" stunt he pulled... he could have really changed the world (of video games).
The only thing I don't like about Kyle Bosman is that there is not enough Kyle Bosman for the whole week, what a great person he is. Great work on this tribute.
Absolutely awesome!! I love how it was edited mixing different scenes with each other either finishing the sentences or just being relevant funny moments. I can't imagine how long this took but I think it was worth it.
+TheMangoViking Oh yeah I remember. Yeah there's about 130 FB episodes, but this also comes from interviews, Mandatory Updates, Kyle's Stand Up (new and old), and his school film project, Dance on Friday. Getting the audio to remain audible while removing the background music/sounds was the most time consuming part, but it was also just keeping notes on every single idea from all those sources that took so long. My evernote page had trouble loading it was so big.
A fitting tribute to the best web show there ever was. Kyle put so much of himself in his work, it's amazing to watch him open himself to entertain us.
In my life I've probably commented on 10 or less things on the internet. This is an incredible edit! What a fantastic tribute to a fantastic person. I smiled at so many moments and I laughed at the end. Makes me wanna rewatch all his shows. Excellent job!
I love this tribute and i watch it when i'm feeling down and it always cheers me up at least a little bit. thanks for producing this tribute, quagthias. and thank you kyle for giving us the final bosman. love and respect.
I've watched this video so many times, I feel like I should leave a comment. I always watch this video when I'm feeling down. Kyle always makes me smile, and I've probably watched every episode of Final Bosman over a dozen times. He's such a smart and fascinating dude, and he doesn't even realize it. This video always inspires me and motivates me. Thanks for making it.
+mattstartsomething I had been working on it for about two months straight, I was almost done when Bosman at Home launched and parts of it fit well. My original goal was to release this on 3/21/16 to help the hype but it looks like they didn't need any help.
Damn, 16:40 - 17:30 really hits close. Fantastic job. I've discovered Bosman very recently, at least comparatively to most, but he's resonated with me more than I had really thought.
I watched this when it was first uploaded and I recently had the urge today to look it back up. I love a lot of the content Easy Allies produces, but separate from that I am a huge fan of Kyle Bosman. I truly hope he gets what he wants out of life, be it staying with EZA, getting a project picked up, or really whatever makes him happy. This is beautifully put together. Well done!
Thanks! As much as I dearly miss The Final Bosman, I never could've predicted how entertaining Bosman v Wozniak would be (those improv bits are some of my new favorite Bosman moments), so whatever he does next, I look forward to it. Currently looking forward to Box Peek! And I hope you gets another gig at LWYTG if it means more skits like Dear Bosman and his videogame shirt designer parody.
i have to be honest. i was deeply moved by this video. thank you so much by your work, i truly hope you see this. and i do believe, if you have the ability just to change one life. then you truly succeeded. thank you and ofc. i have to thank kyle bosman for his great philosophy and honesty. but you created something great. thank you
Still amazing. And I just realized the mug in the final scene is the same mug I just bought my friend this Christmas lol. Crazy how that happens, huh..
+Darjus Thanks. It was hearing (and mixing) the music that first inspired me to make this. I even contacted the artists first to ask for permission to use it and when they gave me the go ahead I was like, damn it... now I have no excuses...
+297fihsy Not gonna lie, I broke down crying as I was putting the end together. Haven't cried that hard since watching Shawshank Redemption for the first time.
This is really.. beautiful. It captures wonderfully what I enjoy so much about The Final Bosman, and Kyle's takes on games and comedy. Somehow, it also speaks to what makes Easy Allies special: passion; commitment; not taking your audience for granted, and speaking to them like intelligent people. Really great work, mate.
I feel bad that i only found Kyle Bosman about 3 months before GT shut down but it was a golden find. Sorry to see his show go the way it did. But keep looking up - i'm sure your new show will do better than ever.
+crazybongo5 His new show is already doing great, view-wise. It may not have the production values of Final Bosman but he still works within his limitations to make some pretty fantastic bonus bits.
Awesome video man! You also hit the tone of Bosman's musical illustration. Also thanks for writing the song names in the description, not many people do that. Now all we need is for Kyle to put his new show on EZA.
incredible work, man! this goes to show the kind of deep, unapologetic passion bosman brings out on people who share his views on videogames, people, and just life in general living until we die! keep it up!
+Pistachio' No doubt. Like I said to Kyle, I definitely took some creative liberties. At the same time, I'm pretty proud of the editing because as I was showing my brother my progress, he honestly thought I was just cutting episodes together at certain parts because, according to him, the audio and visual fit together so well that he assumed it was how it originally appeared, like the Phillip Dollarfield suicide part.
Right? When I shared this with a few friends who were unaware of Bosman they were like, "soooo what did this dude die or something?" Bosman is alive and well! I made another tribute about his Tetris streams if you're interested, and maybe someday they'll be one about Box Peek.
I've watched this more times than I care to admit.I f I could have one wish I would wish for more wishes and use them all up wishing for more of these videos.
The play could end now or go on indefinitely.
If we collectively carry that weight, it isn't so heavy.
If you're feeling profoundly sad right now, it just means that you've felt profound happiness before, and that feeling will return. Live until you die.
And finally, it's a lot to ask, but I don't want you to be sad that he's gone, I want you to be amazed that any of us ever got to discover Kyle at all.
I'm glad it took me this long to discover this video. Thank you.
This might be the greatest Tribute Video I've ever seen. 7.8
+FerrisK96 I know right? Definitely is the best tribute video ever made in my eyes. 6.1/10
This deserves an Academy Award nomination.
Thank you, Kyle. For everything.
god kyle is just the goat
The Final Bosman maybe the greatest philosophical treatise of all time.
That was awesome! I got emotional and I've barely found out about EZA/GT a couple months ago.
That's so cool to hear. Great to know that even those unfamiliar with the source material can still appreciate this. I assume you've never seen Kyle do his Tetris streams from a few years ago, so you could also check out my sequel to this video all about him overcoming a legendary highscore in Tetris. It should be on the home page of my channel.
Bosman's unapologetic honesty and personality is why I'm a fan. This video captures it beautifully.
Had to come back to this after the announcement. This video is perfection and I will miss Kyle dearly, though I’m looking forward to what he’s doing next
This video is the first of my sanctuary locations.
I still come back here regularly. Such an amazing edit from days of dedication. 4 years later, it's almost become a concept album at this point. I just love listening to it
The Kyle Bosman Retrospective we all didn't know we needed.

6:58 got me tearing up with this news
Just incredible. Made me tear up a few times. I definitely feel for both Kyle and the creator of this video on multiple levels. May none of us ever tilt the right analog stick all the way forward.

Kyle, being dragged away after the trial, "Hah, Casual Land can't hold me! I'll be out before next E3! And I can troll from the inside you fools"
Love anime recap episodes ^^
Incredible
7.2
Fantastic video bro, great work! There was a lot of good memories in that :)
I've barely watched anything by Kyle Bosman but now I love him thanks to this tribute.
cant believe i watched the whole thing.. couldnt look away. fantastic
Definitely a Big Whoop!
coming back here when i feel bad, nice video man
The Dark Prince of Nerd Media's origin story.
That last bit is just so emotional and hit really hard one me. Congrats!
The only thing I don't like about Kyle Bosman is that there is not enough Kyle Bosman for the whole week, what a great person he is. Great work on this tribute.
Absolutely awesome!! I love how it was edited mixing different scenes with each other either finishing the sentences or just being relevant funny moments. I can't imagine how long this took but I think it was worth it.
+TheMangoViking Thanks man. Literally hundreds of hours.
+quagthias Can't say I'm surprised, there must be around 100 episodes or more. Also I'm the guy from Kotaku that talked to you about this.
+TheMangoViking Oh yeah I remember. Yeah there's about 130 FB episodes, but this also comes from interviews, Mandatory Updates, Kyle's Stand Up (new and old), and his school film project, Dance on Friday.

I never comment on videos but I have to say this was something beautiful. Thank you for distilling the genius of Kyle and why we love him.
A fitting tribute to the best web show there ever was. Kyle put so much of himself in his work, it's amazing to watch him open himself to entertain us.
I love that Kyle himself saw this. Absolutely incredible editing man, made me tear up a bit. Miss all of this, but EZA is a great, new chapter.
Really great editing work! As someone who watched The Final Bosman since the first episode, this had me smiling the whole way through.
The best gamer journalist of our generation!
In my life I've probably commented on 10 or less things on the internet. This is an incredible edit! What a fantastic tribute to a fantastic person. I smiled at so many moments and I laughed at the end. Makes me wanna rewatch all his shows. Excellent job!
man 3 years on this is still an incredible video
I love this tribute and i watch it when i'm feeling down and it always cheers me up at least a little bit. thanks for producing this tribute, quagthias. and thank you kyle for giving us the final bosman. love and respect.
Kyle Bosman is a goddamned national treasure.
I've watched this video so many times, I feel like I should leave a comment. I always watch this video when I'm feeling down. Kyle always makes me smile, and I've probably watched every episode of Final Bosman over a dozen times. He's such a smart and fascinating dude, and he doesn't even realize it. This video always inspires me and motivates me. Thanks for making it.
I loved every moment of this beautiful artwork.
The absolute most genuine video game person on the internet.
Not just youtube.
That's a truly mind-blowing edit. Well done quagthias.
this had footage from a video released TODAY. how in the... major kudos to you, dude. this was wonderful. :)
+mattstartsomething I had been working on it for about two months straight, I was almost done when Bosman at Home launched and parts of it fit well. My original goal was to release this on 3/21/16 to help the hype but it looks like they didn't need any help.
incredible. and I noticed you had a clip from that one Australian podcast too! so thorough.
+quagthias Bosman at Home?? I didn't see any announcement on Patreon??
Vux911 search Bosman at Home. it's on Kyle's own youtube channel simply called Kyle Bosman.
Thank you!
Damn, 16:40 - 17:30 really hits close. Fantastic job. I've discovered Bosman very recently, at least comparatively to most, but he's resonated with me more than I had really thought.
I watched this when it was first uploaded and I recently had the urge today to look it back up. I love a lot of the content Easy Allies produces, but separate from that I am a huge fan of Kyle Bosman.

When I grow up I want to be Kyle Bosman.
I still love this to the heart.
WELL THANKS TIME TO REWATCH EVERY SINGLE FINAL BOSMAN AGAIN
I highly doubt this will ever get a dislike. Fantastic job: this is the montage his fans deserve.
This was flawless and emotional
I pray he sees this and watches it all the way through haha. So good.
he saw it. he even retweeted it
Why am I crying!?
i have to be honest. i was deeply moved by this video. thank you so much by your work, i truly hope you see this. and i do believe, if you have the ability just to change one life. then you truly succeeded. thank you and ofc. i have to thank kyle bosman for his great philosophy and honesty. but you created something great. thank you
Still amazing. And I just realized the mug in the final scene is the same mug I just bought my friend this Christmas lol. Crazy how that happens, huh..
I thought I was unique, alone in my appreciation of Kyle Bossman.
The very existence of this video has made my day -- thank you!! :):):):)
What a great send off for the show called "the final bosman".
Watching this with a big stupid grin on my face. That's how I always enjoy a Bossman show :D Great job!
I came here after the new video and love this nearly as much! Keep up the good work!!
Really great soundtrack picks! It caught Kyle's character sincerity and innocence very well. And very nice tribute overall. Good job.
+Darjus Thanks. It was hearing (and mixing) the music that first inspired me to make this. I even contacted the artists first to ask for permission to use it and when they gave me the go ahead I was like, damn it... now I have no excuses...
That was awesome, thank you. Bosman is the man. Looking forward to Box Peak
Thanks, I made a sequel if you're interested. Box Peek looks way better than I ever imagined.
you made me laugh and cry, not even kidding. that's more than i can say about a lot of feature films.
All I can say is wow. Kyle has to see this. I bet he would cry from the emotion overflow. I know I almost did.
+Félix L Thanks man. He's seen it and even retweeted it. I'm pretty sure his mom retweeted it too. I can now die happy.
+quagthias Dude I saw! He rated it 4.6! Kyle is a hero of mine, I am so happy for you that he acknowledged your retrospective. :) you deserve it!
Holy shit this is phenomenal.
the greatest video on the internet, dunno how often ive rewatched it so far.. pretty much everytime im not feeling too well, ty for this, l&r
Thanks for making this, a tremendous tribute video to Mr. Bosman! I also love seeing his different hair styles through the years :P
Really well edited, has a lot of great moments man, thanks for the watch, I'm sure I'll be back to re watch this quite a few times.
This was brilliant, thanks for putting this together.
Kyle Bosman is my spirit animal! Ty so much for this. Amazing job :) L&R
This is incredible, thank you so much for this greatness. Even got a little emotional watching it
+297fihsy Not gonna lie, I broke down crying as I was putting the end together. Haven't cried that hard since watching Shawshank Redemption for the first time.

Oh my god this made me speachless.
This really is a beautiful tribute. :')
Thank you for this.
Kyle Bosman is a god damned person.
5 years later, 2 likes, still agree
I feel bad that i only found Kyle Bosman about 3 months before GT shut down but it was a golden find. Sorry to see his show go the way it did. But keep looking up - i'm sure your new show will do better than ever.

r.i.p. kyle
Wow, you legit managed to fully express the variety of his show and his personality! Great work!
He doesn't know what to do with his hair. He's just like me.
This video is great, thanks a lot
thank you so much for taking the time to make this. i watch it every time I'm feeling down.
incredible work, man! this goes to show the kind of deep, unapologetic passion bosman brings out on people who share his views on videogames, people, and just life in general
living until we die! keep it up!
This is heart touching.
This is amazing,thanks for making this. 😊
I can definitely see all the love that went into this video, and it must have taken countless hours. Well done!
+Aaron Kemp around 400 hours total :-)
how you turned this into a narrative I have no idea
This was actually awesome, thanks for making this!
Awesome job! Kyle is very important.
Really loved it, great job dude :)
This is so nicely edited and made with genuine love! Particularly nice work with the soundbites. I'll be honest, I got a little emotional...
6:16
amazing job man ! really emotional.
blown away by this!
It was fun to watch, thanks for sharing. Maybe a little self projection in some parts, but what piece of art doesn't have that. Great work.
+Pistachio' No doubt. Like I said to Kyle, I definitely took some creative liberties. At the same time, I'm pretty proud of the editing because as I was showing my brother my progress, he honestly thought I was just cutting episodes together at certain parts because, according to him, the audio and visual fit together so well that he assumed it was how it originally appeared, like the Phillip Dollarfield suicide part.
This must have taken forever. Great job.
+Matt Humphrey It took me 0.6 forevers.
Awesome video dude!
why do i feel like crying like bosman has passed haha... this was beautiful
Right? When I shared this with a few friends who were unaware of Bosman they were like, "soooo what did this dude die or something?"
Bosman is alive and well! I made another tribute about his Tetris streams if you're interested, and maybe someday they'll be one about Box Peek.
I've watched this more times than I care to admit.I f I could have one wish I would wish for more wishes and use them all up wishing for more of these videos.
In a few months, I should have another tribute ready, this one for Bosman v Wozniak.
Excellent work!
amazing
