Hey man. Okay... this is something I can fully relate to. I have bad bouts of anxiety and have dealt with depression for years, and gaming has been one of the ways I can deal with it too. Lately it's been a good way to focus, for sure. I remember playing games when I was younger for the same reasons, being an anxious teenager even. I love immersive fantasy stuff like Skyrim and Oblivion, and story-bases relaxing indie titles like Everyones Gone to the Rapture. Older stuff like Eternal Champions, Road Rash and Mario were also big time helpful growing up. Listening to your history of this is mighty interesting, dude. It's really a beautiful thing to hear you speak out and open up about your life, about your coping techniques when dealing with depression. While we're at it... awesome Duck Tales flask amigo. Thanks for sharing, really nice video.

I grew up playing games on console and PC. So I have been fortunate enough to have played so many amazing games, and let myself get wrapped up in those world's. As I've gotten older I've found I found I wasn't letting myself enjoy them. Or forgetting how much they helped me when I was an awkward child/teen. Thank you for sharing brother. Sometimes it's easy to forget how something as simple as sitting down with a video game can improve your day.

Look forward to the creases being ironed out and the launch of WLWWL man. Hope you enjoy and keep on with the low carb. I love it. Lost 140lbs since I started doing that, and it makes everything feel better. I have the odd day (maybe once a couple of months or something) where I allow a sandwich or something, otherwise... nothin. When you're happy with the creative stuff, it will happen. Never should be a pressure there when it's something you want to do as a hobby. Man, would be cool if we were closer, had a chance to shoot the breeze, play some games, shoot some videos. It was cool getting to catch up through this video. All the best, my friend.

Thanks man! We're excited to finally get it up and going. We have several other videos shot as well, just not part of the main 'show'. Plus a couple podcasts, that the video version of will go up on youtube. Yeah, every couple of weeks I give my self a cheat day but I'm trying to stick to it as close as I can.It can be tough, but I'm slowly getting used to it. Wish you were closer as well. Would absolutely love to hang. We'd love to do some double date type stuff with you both.

Hey man! Finally got to reply to this. My condolences to you and your family again, my friend. I do look forward to videos where you speak about your family, how they made you who you are. It's all important stuff to talk about and remember. The reverse haul! Very cool. Man, I love the old games of youth. Never had a chance to ever play Earthbound but heard so many good things over the years. Price is insane, like you said. Will there be more collection videos in the future man? We love to collect too, and like you said, not to show-off, just to have it and share the love of having it. Thanks for sharing, sir!

Starina has a nervous laugh that is annoying! You would think she was sitting next to Elvis or James Dean ;) and that is why she is so nervous . "Dream as if you will live forever." Starina Johnson said "I had a DREAM." Then she looked over as Karen. Hint! Hint!

Hey man, did you also work/act on the actual production of Stuck? Such a coincidence, I've been on a Karen Black kick lately. Just watched Trilogy of Terror (Zuni doll story), listened to the band, The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black. and just saw a youtube montage of KB's past work.

Sort of yes. It seems that originality, in any form, isn't accepted the way it use to be. There's such a lack of it out there these days. I guess that's why I find myself watching indie films, listening to indie music. Which, even in some of them... there still seems to be anything new.
