If I may good sir, I originally came for the lore but to hear your passion it made me and I’m sure a lot of other people see how genuine you are made me stay. You have my respect and my sub for your honesty sir 👍🏽
I understand. I mean, I came to your channel for the Diablo and Legacy of Kain lore vids you made, but your storytelling has made me a fan of you. So, if it helps, Dash, you've got passion. Best of luck to whatever franchise you decide to go through next!
i came for same reason. just bougth all diablo games, even 1 for overprice, just because i started to love diablo after dash. before that i only played path of exile.
Beaten the series so many times, but I said the same thing about Oblivion and the depths he goes to in order to find any and every possible scenario has me flabbergasted Thousands of hours in a game and he can still find some obscure sequence of play I never did
Cant stand anything Soulslike related at this moment and probably for a long while. I know I am probably a big minority but that shit is fuvkin everywhere and its pisses me off how overused it is. I cant stand the same shit all the time. Progression tied to some gay currency that you lose if you get kill. Everyone respawns if you get killed. Slow ass fuvkin combat that is limited by stamina, so you can attack only 4 times and then wait. Cryptic bullshit without any story telling only lore with an objective of killing some four bosses because fuck you there is no reason.
@@budlikycz2445 Is it overused, yeah Currency that you actually have to survive to spend, more realistic and much better than having 50 kinds of currency like Path of Exile Everyone respawns when you die, yeah because the game would be ridiculously easy if you could cheese the system by just killing one or two enemies per life and eventually you win no matter how trash you are... Doesn't sound fun to me Stamina, oh no I actually have to think about my attack instead of spammy bs, play the old God of War if you want hack n' slash Storyline that is EVERYWHERE, everything in the universe is lore, the layouts of levels let you know something, the items give you hints and clues, the bosses and overall lore help to guide you, and the connections between the lore allow you to imagine instead of being spoon fed the answers Having four main bosses..... Dude that has been done forever, having the same few bosses or boss areas, are you saying Zelda is trash because Ganon is the boss of most games and the same areas are saved, Kokiri forest, Gerudo Dessert, Goron Mountain, Hylian Plains, and Zora Kingdom(or modifications on the same places just renamed)
HAPPY 39TH BIRTHDAY!! BUT ALL YOUR DIABLO LORE WAS THE BEST!!! I still go back to listen to it. Hopefully, you find the joy to get back into it!! Well your the best lore teller!
I totally understand your POV on this. I think the series peaked with D2. I'm one of the people who very, very much love your Diablo series. I hope Vessel of Hatred defies all our expectations and provides a story that interests you. That said - there are plenty of other games out there that can benefit from your skilled story-telling, and I'm excited for that content too. Do what makes you happy, Dash! You've got our support 🙂
@@Dar1uszthere are also more Casual players in 2024 then in 2000, it dosen't making d4 good, ohh i bet d4 diden't sell 10 million units in 4 dayes as black myth wukong did, the same with d4 vessel of hatred.
@@Dar1usz if stats are all you're going off, you have larger problems to grapple with. D2 is legendary and beloved by the fandom. Nothing since has come close to that reception.
Over the years, you’ve easily been the most engaging channel I’ve ever listened to. Your content is second to none and I truly hope you know that you are greatly appreciated for your work. I’ve been following for a long long time now and I feel like I finally caught an upload right away to show up before the flood of comments come in! I grew up with Oblivion and D2/3 and there’s something so elegant and peaceful with your storytelling. Honestly, I know almost all of what your stories are about but I listen anyway because you tell the tales better than anyone. Thank you for everything you do, Dash. Also, happy birthday brother!!
Alex, you have made my day with your kind words. Truly, thank you! When in doubt, I will remember this & it will sustain me that there are people like you who appreciate the effort
I love that you mentioned Ox. He was one of the first TH-camrs I subscribed to when he was working his way through FNV lore. What's interesting us I found your channel specifically looking for D2 lore. I look forward to each new video, especially Oblivion content.
I am glad I am not alone in disliking Diablo-3 Lore. I did not start playing Diablo 1-2 but had vague memories of maybe 1. I played Diablo 1-2 AFTER Diablo-3-Reaper of Souls. I really dislike the style coming from a warcraft background and seeing World of Warcraft have the same issue as Diablo (of which i came late to in the fanbase).
I showed up for your movies of Diablo. I stayed for diablo 2, and Legacy of Kain. I appreciate what you've made, don't feel any pressure to continue diablo past that. Do what is compelling to you, and it will show to the viewer.
Happy Birthday! I remember 40. That was a few years ago lol. I love listening to the Diablo videos cuz I had no context other than D3. I will continue to watch and listen to those videos cuz I love the story telling style you have. Thanks for all your hard work!
I love listening to your storytelling. I did find you through Diablo and Legacy of Kain, the former I have not the time to play and the latter I delighted in revisiting through you, but it is your style that has kept me around. Happy birthday, and I look forward to what you make in the future!
I started watching you because I really love your Oblivion videos and I stayed for your Blood Omen video and I'll keep watching because i can't wait to see your future videos. Especially if its more Oblivion or Elder Scrolls games!
I indeed found you because of Diablo4 and wanted to catchup with the old Diablo lore, you did a fantastic job of it. Thanks for the clarification, i’ve honestly been enjoying your coverage of soulreaver since I never played it but wanted to back in the day. I’m not too cut up they you don’t feel motivated to cover that expansion so no worries! ❤
Hate all you want, but Vessel of Hatred / season 6 is awesome fun. I've been playing Blizzard games since The Lost vikings days. It's not all doom and gloom , everyone has been saying " it's time to move on " for the past decade, yet they endlessly keep it in their lives.
@Touchin-Grass Oh shut up and play your garbage. Blizzard has been trash for well over a decade. Just because you keep eating the slop they serve you doesn't mean anyone else should.
Hey Dash! It's been a while! I'm glad to see you stick to your guns on what you're passionate about. 🌹 And you're right in that if you're not doing something you love, it will show. Keep doing you my dear! We're all still going to be here whatever you choose.
i really am lacking any new stories that i can get lost in like that now lol, it sucks i miss it, and ive treaded the road of the old stuff to much to get much out of it anymore
Diablo and Star Wars were my childhood games. I feel dead inside seeing them turn into DEI and LGBTQ forced politics and bad writing. Guess all good things burn to ashes in the end.
I appreciate the honesty about the path you plan to take. Your commentary on Diablo 1, 2, 3 and 4 will be favorites for a while to come still. Thanks for your work on this series and Oblivion too, really just put me right back in the seat of past, feeling like a kid all over again.
I remember the first time I found your channel. Was on a super lore focus Diablo 1 video. I was immediately enchanted by the way you narrated the events. It was a feeling I felt when I played the game for the first time. Listening to you, it felt like I was there in Tristram. But you didn't let me down. I love the other contents as well, like Elder Scrolls. I am with you, do what you LIKE and LOVE. A big hug from Brazil brother!
I 100% only started following your content for Diablo. While waiting for new Diablo episodes to come out, I watched EVERYTHING ELSE. Now, I don't really care what you do, you got me hooked. Never played soul reaver but it turned out to be a very fun loreplay to watch on your channel, and I have been loving the oblivion content more recently. I also go back and rewatch the diablo plays whenever I have the urge. The last thing I'll add is that I would love to see a full main story play through of any of the elderscrolls games in your style, but maybe that is too big of an undertaking lol
Congratulations on your birthday mate! Understand where you coming from! You gotta do and support what you want to, appreciate all the hard work you've put in!
at 1:26, i found you through dash star, but also i found out you had that from you being on jedi council when collider had that. :3 crazy that's it's only been 10 years because it feels longer. like so much longer XD
Keep doing the content you enjoy man. I enjoy watching/listening to your videos even for games and topics that normally don't interest me. Your passion really shines through
Really enjoyed the D4 stuff you created and that brought me to your channel. I have utmost respect for your decision, by the way. But this video is a confirmation for me that here is, I'm honest here, not much for me too explore. I haven't tuned in to one of your videos what feels like ages. It's simply not my content. I wish you the best of luck for your future content and I think loads of people will continue supporting you. Cheers and good luck!
Dash, since you have a clear "penchant" for dark games, have you considered covering the soul series? As dark games comes, they are amongst the darkest and lore filled.
It's not you Dash, it's that these stories aren't being told for entertainment and exploration anymore. They're just IPs being stretched out like tanned hides to gather as much money as possible. Your love of storytelling shines through the paper-thin content these franchises have now. Seek greater stories!
Been here since the beginning and have loved your personal story arc so to speak lol I’m on board with whatever you do in the future. Stick to yourself and your values cuz that’s what I admire about you. Thanks for what you do man!
The gaming industry is genrally dumbing down everything throughout the last decade. It's pathetic. Especially in the case of Diablo, because it's from Blizzard, company that used to tell incredible stories set in rich, beautiful universes. No longer. We grow old(I'm 40 myself), but the gaming industry instead of maturing, reverses into some sort of a troglodyte. Happy birthday, all the health and wealth to you.
Thanks for the insight Tomas. I guess I was hesitant to accept the reality, they want to broaden their appeal and market and that means just force stories to be as accessible to anyone with a credit card and a pulse
I came for Diablo but stayed for Oblivion. I’m interested to see what you cover next. Even though it’s not a dark rpg, A Hat in Time could be fun. Could get a number of videos out of it if it does well enough. The video I mean. The game has been out for a while
Happy late birthday, just do what makes you happy Dash. Im sure other people are willing to take up your torch. You really are doing your best Dash, idk what else to say other than i hope you are ok and happy because this is your choice so i hope its a no regret choice thats good to you
I'll never play blizzard again after they cancelled my immortal account for saying I was cheating. I'm a casual player who never played competitively. They took two years of progress. Screw them
I am with you 100%. You have given voice to that which is felt by a great deal of people. The fact that you did not want to make content that would have made you in the top 1% of TH-cam says a great deal about your integrity and honor. Your honor is staggeringly high.
Thanks Super, I don't know about that. I think I am more fickle & have a problem with not feeling like I am fulfilled 😂 Is a problem when I over think things too but I digress. Appreciate the kind words, immensely.
Happy birthday! I remember watching Dash Star back in the day, and it's wild to see that you're the same person. You got me into Diablo as someone who never played it. I understand and respect your decisions on both Star Wars and Diablo. I hope that you're able to find something that you love to cover and find something that lights your passion in the same way as the old Star Wars films and Diablo I and Diablo II. Keep being awesome!
Played Diablo III and the expansion with one character, through the main story lines once uninstalled and moved on... meanwhile, I played Diablo II consistently for over 10 years before III came out. Modern Blizzard doesn't understand Diablo.
@@DarkLOREDash no worries. Allready you surprised me with my all time favourite game Soul Reaver. And at some point Im going to watch Elder Scrolls lore. So Im not complaining
Happy to hear that you are 39! I turned 36 a month ago and I was feeling kinda old to be still into videogames, I enjoyed your Diablo II videos during the pandemic, and those videos were awesome! The narrative, the sequence, everything. I have been following you since then. Diablo II has a special place in my heart, I remember after every Act we (me and my friends) were waiting for the cinematics and when the Diablo Hatred of Vessels showed up it was like it was so different (even that song in the background). That's happening with every franchise, or already happened, of our times when we were young, the ones during the 90's and the ones at the beginning of the 2000's, as Diablo, Twisted Metal, Pokemon, Star Wars... It feels as if they are no more for us. Wish you the best, and maybe you can influence adult fans, like us, to play online or something similar, I live in NYC and I wish there could be a place to start a Diablo II adventure with a whole team, as in the past, where my friend and I used to stay until late at night to defeat Diablo.
It was a pleasure to follow your videos on diablo 2 and the elder scrolls Oblivion. I also understand why you don't make a video about diablo 4 vessel of hatred. Also great to see you in person! Always recognise that voice of yours that makes us "stay a while and listen" Thanks for your many good videos and more in the future 😊
Happy birthday Dash, been around for a long time and I stay for you because i absolutely love your content, i love your lore videos, your sense of humor.
I like everything you make, so you do what interests you and I'm sure you will continue to make awesome videos! Thank you for what you do and Happy belated Birthday!
love all your playthroughs, will watch whatever you cover next. I could definitely use a refresher on the kotor / swtor lore if youre looking for a suggestion, but im game for anything! ❤
Dude I loved this channel for the content, your narrative style plus the great games you've been covering are such a good combo and made me a huge fan of your work. Now that I know you gave up such a big channel because of what Disney did to Star Wars, that makes me respect you 100x more than I already did. You can count on me being here for the long haul man, you've got my respect.
Oxhorn...now that's a name that brings back memories from my childhood, since I grew up on his original WoW machinima vids, a true gem on TH-cam! Thank you for all the great Diablo lore videos, I feel you man and so do the og Diablo fans imo.
My pleasure! Honestly its a bit daunting with how much flak comes with having an opinion but we are in this together & its not lioke these corporations care
Happy belated dash. I originally came here for your Elder scroll content but then picked up on the Diablo videos. Been here for a few years now. I'm here for what ever you want to put up. Krosis to anyone else
i subbed for your voice personally lmao. if you are looking for more content regarding older games, dragon age origins is an incredibly deep game that you would probably enjoy talking about. the orzammar story (and the darkspawn in general) is especially deliciously dark.
Happy birthday man, have a great day! Your coverage of various titles and franchises is fantastic and yours alone. Recently watched your full video on Soul Reaver and enjoyed it. Then I rewatched it again with my son because he’s interested in games that I used to play. You having a nose for when things are ‘off’ doesn’t make you the bad guy.
I've been following your content for a few years now, and tracked every upload you made. There's an immense amount of respect i have for you after this video, it really takes integrity to make a video to explain to your audience why you don't like a certain thing even if it would have been very lucrative for you from a business standpoint.
You are not the franchise killer, the big corporations are.
Every corporation is a killer in a manner of speaking they always destroy something that made them big money
While big corporations sure can kill franchises. All franchises have highs and lows. Everything does.
This!!! Facts!
which are?
@@meegstomtom Well the lows are at the ninth circle of hell lately so....
Happy birthday!
Thank you kindly! I'm 147 in TH-cam years 😅

39? You're still a kid. 😂
Today is my birthday too!!!!
I'm here for Oblivion content my man.

I hope Mr. La Chance will get back to his prime content
Thank you! Can't wait to get back into it
Thanks MF!
You’re a legend Dash, keep on keeping on mate, if more content creators were like you, TH-cam would be a much more wholesome place!

Thanks so much VG!
Legacy of What! Idl had no idea😅 i know what im watching next
Dude, you held out for longer than i did, respect 🙏
Thank you, sir!
No one tell Dash about Fromsoft games.
Though, it would be nice to have a King’s Field Verdite Trilogy DLD.
Omg. Dark Souls 1 let's play narrated by Dash would be a dream.
The Chosen Undead starring Dash lol
Beaten the series so many times, but I said the same thing about Oblivion and the depths he goes to in order to find any and every possible scenario has me flabbergasted
Thousands of hours in a game and he can still find some obscure sequence of play I never did
Cant stand anything Soulslike related at this moment and probably for a long while. I know I am probably a big minority but that shit is fuvkin everywhere and its pisses me off how overused it is.

@@budlikycz2445 Is it overused, yeah
Currency that you actually have to survive to spend, more realistic and much better than having 50 kinds of currency like Path of Exile
Everyone respawns when you die, yeah because the game would be ridiculously easy if you could cheese the system by just killing one or two enemies per life and eventually you win no matter how trash you are... Doesn't sound fun to me
Stamina, oh no I actually have to think about my attack instead of spammy bs, play the old God of War if you want hack n' slash
Storyline that is EVERYWHERE, everything in the universe is lore, the layouts of levels let you know something, the items give you hints and clues, the bosses and overall lore help to guide you, and the connections between the lore allow you to imagine instead of being spoon fed the answers
Having four main bosses..... Dude that has been done forever, having the same few bosses or boss areas, are you saying Zelda is trash because Ganon is the boss of most games and the same areas are saved, Kokiri forest, Gerudo Dessert, Goron Mountain, Hylian Plains, and Zora Kingdom(or modifications on the same places just renamed)
I agree, don't cover it if your not passionate about it. Diablo 1 was the game that made me a gamer and it not the same.
Diablo 1 created the formula, Diablo 2 perfected it, them blizzard killed it. I played Diablo 3 for all of 2 weeks before going back to D2
I really respect the commitment to only covering things you’re actually passionate about.
Thank you!
HAPPY 39TH BIRTHDAY!! BUT ALL YOUR DIABLO LORE WAS THE BEST!!! I still go back to listen to it. Hopefully, you find the joy to get back into it!! Well your the best lore teller!

He really made this genre accidentally, it seems! I was like .... oh, he doesn't like Elder Scrolls though... someone needs to carry the torch lol
I completely agree with you. Huge companies are killing there franchises. Sad but true.
It is disheartening. All for a quick buck at the expense of the franchises soul.

Dash, since you have a clear "penchant" for dark games, have you considered covering the soul series? As dark games comes, they are amongst the darkest and lore filled.
Yes! I just have such a hard time absorbing the lore. Its so abstract & I dont attach to it. I wish I did, but Vaati is absolutely phenomenal.
There are plenty of souls lore creators out there tbh
It's not you Dash, it's that these stories aren't being told for entertainment and exploration anymore. They're just IPs being stretched out like tanned hides to gather as much money as possible. Your love of storytelling shines through the paper-thin content these franchises have now. Seek greater stories!
Been here since the beginning and have loved your personal story arc so to speak lol I’m on board with whatever you do in the future. Stick to yourself and your values cuz that’s what I admire about you. Thanks for what you do man!
Mate, ofc I recognize and appreciate you brosef. Please never change that profile pic as it brightens my day:D
@@DarkLOREDashlol no problem bro 😎
Happy Birthday, and I have felt the exact same way about Diablo since D3.
Thanks Godeias!
Will you play Avowed?
No matter what you cover I’ll watch, your storytelling is phenomenal!
I will definitely see if it dfits and probably try out pillars pre game?
Damn. I came to check lore, surprised to see this. I gues it's up to Blizzard, not you.
The gaming industry is genrally dumbing down everything throughout the last decade. It's pathetic. Especially in the case of Diablo, because it's from Blizzard, company that used to tell incredible stories set in rich, beautiful universes. No longer. We grow old(I'm 40 myself), but the gaming industry instead of maturing, reverses into some sort of a troglodyte. Happy birthday, all the health and wealth to you.
Thanks for the insight Tomas. I guess I was hesitant to accept the reality, they want to broaden their appeal and market and that means just force stories to be as accessible to anyone with a credit card and a pulse
you do you bro i came for you and i listen to the diablo 1 nd 2 videos while driving around states you rock.
Thank you Davinnigon!
I came for Diablo but stayed for Oblivion. I’m interested to see what you cover next. Even though it’s not a dark rpg, A Hat in Time could be fun. Could get a number of videos out of it if it does well enough. The video I mean. The game has been out for a while
Ohh thanks for the suggestion!
@@DarkLOREDash it’s like super Mario sunshine with Windwaker art style
Happy late birthday, just do what makes you happy Dash. Im sure other people are willing to take up your torch. You really are doing your best Dash, idk what else to say other than i hope you are ok and happy because this is your choice so i hope its a no regret choice thats good to you
Thanks, Omni!
I'll never play blizzard again after they cancelled my immortal account for saying I was cheating. I'm a casual player who never played competitively. They took two years of progress. Screw them
They did you a favor.
Immortal shouldn't exist in the first place.
I am sorry that happened :/
gratz on the birthday my man
Thank you, Mango!
If anyone can have an honest and thoughtful opinion about the lore of Diablo, it's you, mate!
Thank you kindly, Tamirlei!
Happy birthday dash! Thank you for entertaining us for so long. Make videos on the games you enjoy, you'll always have people who watch
Thanks! Will do! Appreciate ya
I am with you 100%. You have given voice to that which is felt by a great deal of people. The fact that you did not want to make content that would have made you in the top 1% of TH-cam says a great deal about your integrity and honor.
Your honor is staggeringly high.
Thanks Super, I don't know about that. I think I am more fickle & have a problem with not feeling like I am fulfilled 😂 Is a problem when I over think things too but I digress. Appreciate the kind words, immensely.
I'll gladly watch whatever you like to cover, you have a gift that is a delight to hear every time.
Thank you kindly Dudekous!
Smart move! You dodged the corporate pit, avoided feeding the demon Bobby Kotick, and saved your time for better things. Happy Bday 👍
Thanks Kaneki. Bobby tried to get that bread from us all
Yeah D4 story is pulp, I understand what you feel.
Happy birthday! I remember watching Dash Star back in the day, and it's wild to see that you're the same person. You got me into Diablo as someone who never played it. I understand and respect your decisions on both Star Wars and Diablo. I hope that you're able to find something that you love to cover and find something that lights your passion in the same way as the old Star Wars films and Diablo I and Diablo II. Keep being awesome!
Heya Kip! You're one of 5 mate, thanks :D
Maybe take a stab at darkest dungeon?
I only ever played that briefly but should have another look?
@@DarkLOREDash I hadn’t gotten far in but it seemed really interesting.
Happy Belated Birthday!
Love your lore video's, staying for whatever comes next!
Thanks a ton Werner!
Played Diablo III and the expansion with one character, through the main story lines once uninstalled and moved on... meanwhile, I played Diablo II consistently for over 10 years before III came out. Modern Blizzard doesn't understand Diablo.
I feel ya Big Shu!
bro you are the best and respected by everyone thank you my man!! dont stop covering the real stuff and also look into warcraft and starcraft
Thank you Yucel! Quick question... Warcraft 3 remake or OG?
Cant even log into the damn game gave it a 1 star. Hope they enjoy their shitty ratings.
Happy birthday
I really enjoy your lore videos so - in a way - its a pity you won't cover this dlc. But I understand
Thanks Zero, I am sorry but appreciate your understanding. Hopefully some of my other content may tickle your fancy
@@DarkLOREDash no worries. Allready you surprised me with my all time favourite game Soul Reaver. And at some point Im going to watch Elder Scrolls lore. So Im not complaining
I don't judge. I was kinda hyped for this expansion, but the lore just... Sucks!
I subscribed for your awesome Diablo content. I stayed for you.
Stay real Dash!
Thanks Mr Servon
Happy Birthday Dash!
Thanks Mephisto!
Happy to hear that you are 39! I turned 36 a month ago and I was feeling kinda old to be still into videogames, I enjoyed your Diablo II videos during the pandemic, and those videos were awesome! The narrative, the sequence, everything. I have been following you since then. Diablo II has a special place in my heart, I remember after every Act we (me and my friends) were waiting for the cinematics and when the Diablo Hatred of Vessels showed up it was like it was so different (even that song in the background). That's happening with every franchise, or already happened, of our times when we were young, the ones during the 90's and the ones at the beginning of the 2000's, as Diablo, Twisted Metal, Pokemon, Star Wars... It feels as if they are no more for us.
Wish you the best, and maybe you can influence adult fans, like us, to play online or something similar, I live in NYC and I wish there could be a place to start a Diablo II adventure with a whole team, as in the past, where my friend and I used to stay until late at night to defeat Diablo.
Happy birthday Morten, cheers!
Happy birthday - that's for sure!
But you did play the game/DLC? I'm curious, what doesn't work in the storytelling departament for you.
Thanks mate! It didnt work & tbh I kind of am glad cus I didnt enjoy D4 so much
It was a pleasure to follow your videos on diablo 2 and the elder scrolls Oblivion. I also understand why you don't make a video about diablo 4 vessel of hatred. Also great to see you in person! Always recognise that voice of yours that makes us "stay a while and listen" Thanks for your many good videos and more in the future 😊
Well thank you, Darni! Here's hoping
Talented people like Yourself will never run out of viewers. For me, it was Your passion for story and way You grab it and make interesting even more.
Thank you very much Warrior 🙏
I love all your Diablo videos but i fully understand your point. :) Will you continue creating D2 and D1 videos?
Thanks Basti, I am unsure if I will ever go back tbh sorry
Happy birthday Dash, been around for a long time and I stay for you because i absolutely love your content, i love your lore videos, your sense of humor.
love your obliovion videos! very through and informative
Thank you, Taelr!
@@DarkLOREDash yw i have them on in the background a lot always a good listen
I like everything you make, so you do what interests you and I'm sure you will continue to make awesome videos! Thank you for what you do and Happy belated Birthday!
Thank you so much!
love all your playthroughs, will watch whatever you cover next. I could definitely use a refresher on the kotor / swtor lore if youre looking for a suggestion, but im game for anything! ❤
Thanks mate! Have a KOTOR vid cooking atm
Appreciate the content no matter what man, do what you gotta. Your story telling and cadence are what compels me to come back and listen.
Thank you kindly Raza
Dude I loved this channel for the content, your narrative style plus the great games you've been covering are such a good combo and made me a huge fan of your work. Now that I know you gave up such a big channel because of what Disney did to Star Wars, that makes me respect you 100x more than I already did. You can count on me being here for the long haul man, you've got my respect.
Some would say its silly but I go where the passion lies, thank you mate!
Happy birthday, dash!
Thanks Jesse!
you didn't let us down dash. your lore videos are awesome.
Thank you Retro
happy birthday! It sucks when a franchise disappoints, but your content is fantastic and I hope you keep pursuing things that interest you!
Thank you kindly, torp!
Hey and cheers! You're not alone brother!
Thanks Andrzej!
Oxhorn...now that's a name that brings back memories from my childhood, since I grew up on his original WoW machinima vids, a true gem on TH-cam! Thank you for all the great Diablo lore videos, I feel you man and so do the og Diablo fans imo.
Thanks mate! ol Oxy has reinvented himself since his roflstomp
Thank you Dash!!
Gosh, I wish more content creators were open about their thoughts on devolving American franchises.
My pleasure! Honestly its a bit daunting with how much flak comes with having an opinion but we are in this together & its not lioke these corporations care
Happy belated dash. I originally came here for your Elder scroll content but then picked up on the Diablo videos. Been here for a few years now. I'm here for what ever you want to put up. Krosis to anyone else
i subbed for your voice personally lmao. if you are looking for more content regarding older games, dragon age origins is an incredibly deep game that you would probably enjoy talking about. the orzammar story (and the darkspawn in general) is especially deliciously dark.
Thanks Szlothh definitely want to check it out
Happy birthday, thanks for all your content you make! Big inspiration for me to start my series in the Elder Scrolls lore too!
Thanks heaps Daemon! I look forward to seeing it :D
Happy birthday man, have a great day! Your coverage of various titles and franchises is fantastic and yours alone.
Recently watched your full video on Soul Reaver and enjoyed it. Then I rewatched it again with my son because he’s interested in games that I used to play.
You having a nose for when things are ‘off’ doesn’t make you the bad guy.
Thanks a ton Gregg, appreciate the insight about my 🐽 working!
I’m replaying Oblivion just because of your videos. It’s a lot fun and I like reading the text in your voice 😄👍
Thank you & it wont be long til AI takes over me 😂
I've been following your content for a few years now, and tracked every upload you made. There's an immense amount of respect i have for you after this video, it really takes integrity to make a video to explain to your audience why you don't like a certain thing even if it would have been very lucrative for you from a business standpoint.
