[@dylansoltis146]

I look up to you in every way bro don't give up.

[@timetoengage_]

Damn. Why does time move so fast. I started watching you in 2010 at 9 years old, and I was fucking in love with the Al n' Todd series. I remember watching this very video when it came out back when I was in the 8th grade and being completely mindfucked it had been so long. That was 7 years ago. I swear Chris, your channel is nothing but an infinite existential crisis generator

[@ChristopherCoxFilm]

Hahaha that's a hilariously accurate analysis of what my channel is

[@paulthompson4332]

Wish you great success in the future. Everything I've watched has been awesome sir...keep it up and continue to grow

[@alucarddlol]

***** you have made it sooo far. I have watched he'd u since you were first doing Nerf reviews. You have grown so much. You went from this small kid who just wanted to go and film him and his friends doing fun things. Now you are almost a young adult. Hope all goes well in your filmmaking future. I hope to see one of your projects you are going to be working on. Good luck!

[@iamaewsome1678]

This will forever be in my heart

[@starmaster9962]

This was my childhood back then watching all the nerf videos is so much fun and it was just interesting. I miss it today but now he is going big right now it's incredible. I miss it so much and Chris you inspire me of your childhood thank you I know this can be from the future now but just want to say forever thank you for everything.

[@ThEGaminGGeeKletsgame]

***** hey what's up Chris glad you still be uploading a bit but I also understand what it means to grow up which means leaving your comfort shell and getting out into the world sorry I just enjoy watching your videos

[@DEEZ_CLANGaming]

Love this guy

[@VinOnline]

This channel was my child hood.

[@Viljuskar]

A true masterpiece Chris. Flawless storytelling.

[@bchstr]

Im calling it. Deep sheep will be the 2nd generation RoosterTeeth.

[@scottmilligan1875]

I think that's what he based it off of

[@knucklez4765]

Most likely.

[@therealone8238]

Nah ur wrong

[@algo1336]

LEMONZ wa- seriously? "a story driven series within a video game." it is literally red vs blue on a non-professional level.

[@greasyfishtacos]

He called it

[@8RJN]

I cried I've watched u since u were in the AL and todnseries

[@stevepaul6709]

8RJN same

[@ZULOBEY28]

[@Z0MBIESLAYER5]

Good luck Chris! Can't wait to see what the next chapter of your filmmaking has in store!

[@gassedpanda5514]

Z0MBIESLAYER5 i cant either

[@akhilrooprai8511]

This honestly makes me so emotional. I've been subscribed to you for over 5 years and I just wanna say I have many memories watching your videos with my best friend. You are a true inspiration Chris, and I respect your decision to move on from nerf even though that's what got me into your channel. Good luck in your future Chris, your parents must be proud. :)

[@cubeatron9541]

[@mizuhi2466]

Hey Chris I've always watched your videos and i must say you've grown a lot and even I don't want you to quit KZbin but I respect your decision to quit KZbin you were really cute when you were small so we will miss you

[@ChristopherCoxFilm]

I never said I was quitting KZbin. I said I was making my final 2 nerf videos. This retrospective was a high school project because I'm graduating

[@josegodinez7910]

[@coolryanguy6329]

You are right I liked your comment

[@mrshadows738]

Im just so glad that everything you're doing still has years to go and I'm excited for you.

[@VenomousVitamin]

Damn all good things come to an end, I remember watching this guy when I was like 9 always buying nerf guns and stuff. All I want to say is thank you for making good short movies, it's so awesome to see you grow up and aspiring to be a filmmaker, which you will become. Thank you CACox97.

[@colton6404]

Wow, it really has been a while. From 2009 to now, it's been a nice journey to have been watching your videos since the original Nerf war (I remember watching it right when it came out!). Thanks, CACox97 for making my KZbin expirence a hell lot better (of course when I was 9 years old)!

[@hakerz5519]

[@peppercane622]

Wow, Chris it's been ever so long ever since I've seen your movies. I was 10 or 11 when I saw your videos. You and cinnemasacare inspired me to make y own films. Now it's been I don't know how long. Now your going to college and stuff. Its amazing! Thanks for all the work.

[@soundtrackguy5625]

[@xSNiP3x4NDxG0x]

Chris, I have been with you since, what seems like, day one. You had a HUGE impact on my childhood and I can't believe how long ago that was. I just wanted to say, thank you for awesome memories and everything.

[@trollzousmc8181]

That last outro hit me like a bus with emotions...

[@vulkan6757]

The memory of your little 10 year old self (who was no offense a bad actor) will always be preserved in KZbin and the Internet have a wonderful time in college and I look forward to what u have in store for us next!!

[@GeneralJSmith]

Wow, this actually made me teary eyed which isn't easy to do, you're one of my favourite KZbinrs and I very much enjoy your content so I wish you the best in years to come... :)

[@JayLatne]

I remember watching your videos and I forgot about you till now, I'm so happy to know you are succeeding at what you wanna do and I'm proud. Hope life treats you well.

[@andreendermc]

Honestly I'm, really glad how much your channel has grown. I started watching your videos when I was 8. You inspired me to try new things and I always enjoyed watching your videos. I hope you and all of your friends the best! =D

[@Peacemaker9299]

I've been watching your videos since I was 9 and it is amazing to not only to see you grow but your channel as well good luck my friend.

[@aaronkuhlman8092]

thank you Chris for all these years you always made me so happy when I'm sad and thanks to you I want to be a film director THANK YOU.

[@halosammy14]

Watching you grow up was one of the most heartwarming sagas of KZbin.

[@coreycraig1946]

I've been watching since your first video and watching this video has inspired me to be a short film maker. Thank you Chris for this and damn I was emotional at the end. LOL

[@isaacriviere9735]

I am legit crying. Chris, Thank you for everything.

[@christopherflores7663]

It's been good watching you for these years can't wait for what you will do next. Good luck and can wait for the next things you will do. Thanks for all you had done

[@talknboutstuff6280]

You Are One Of My Favorite KZbinrs Ever And You Always Will Be. I Enjoy All Of Your Videos, And You Are A Great Filmmaker. Please Never Stop And You Always Put A Smile On My Face. This Video Really Hit Memory Lane And At The End I Got A Little Teary.

[@TheBlank8234]

Dang it now I have to go full nostalgia and go back and watch your earliest videos! Been around for a long time, near the beginning, great video.

[@skullsquad900]

Being the same age, your Nerf Zombie Wars series was inspirational! I hope you guys make it big and will be looking for you guys here in Cali.

[@Roman-sb6eb]

The storytelling was spot on. Easy like there. Been with you since 09 and whatever you do... Dont stop making videos and pursue the film making because man, you're gonna go places with your talent.

[@bcnerfgaming1587]

Oh wow what a story for Chris on KZbin ever since 2009 making his vids fun and funny now stoping to do his dream THANK YOU CHRIS

[@callmesubby]

When I was a young child, you were pretty much the only person I watched on KZbin. Before I had an account even. Believe it or not, you were the first person I subscribed to. I always enjoyed the content you produced and hoped you could make KZbin into a full time job so we could watch you everyday. I wish you the best of luck with Deep Sheep, and your career as a film maker.

[@stephenokonkwo2189]

its crazy i followed this channel through all of his moments Keep up the great work

[@FrogJ]

Great Chris, I'm glad you're going the way you want to, good luck with everything and I'm looking forward of what's to come. :)

[@MewNerfBunny101]

[@chicanerydocumenter]

[@lightinggamer213]

[@mario167100]

i've been watching your videos since i was 7 (or 8) and i have to admit i got most of my filming techniques from you. I hope you have a good future and hope for the best.

[@liangheuktan1141]

Hey Chris I am actually someone who just started watching your videos, even though I don't know you much and I don't know a lot of your videos, but I have to say your passion and drive to make videos seems incredible. I think this video will definitely be added to my liked videos and I think you deserve the respect of everyone in the KZbin community. Thank you and I wish you the best, I hope and I definitely wish that you and the rest of Deep Sheep succeed. I will not forget you. All the best! -Liang Heuk

[@DAP780]

Very inspirational! Easily one of my favorite youtubers. Keep up the awesome work!

[@Thepurplealex1]

I said it before and I'll say it again: You've given a lot of people inspiration over the years.When you started doing gaming videos, that's when I started uploading gaming videos to other channels. This channel was inspired mainly by other channels, mainly Jerma985, Star_ and Muselk etc., but I constantly watched your videos and never stopped. Ever since, oh I don't know, perhaps maybe you had 800 subscribers? I've always been there, watching your videos and gawping at how amazing they were for a13/14 year old. I'm personally 14 now and I don't think I could make the stuff that you did make or do make. But you're always that little bit of inspiration not just for me, but for so many other viewers. So it makes me feel really happy to hear that you're pursuing that one thing in life that you've pretty much always had interest in, at least from my perspective, and you're making it grow into something more than just a kid with a camera. So Chris, my message is really this: do what life wants you to do. Film-making? Go right ahead. Professional film/movie group? Do it. But don't ever stop being that little inspiration for everyone out there who watches your videos. God, I sound like a hippy.

[@migueberg43]

Good Luck in your future Christopher, i know that you will be the best film maker of the world, thank you for all your videos that make me smile.

[@datfancygamer8532]

You were the first youtube channel I ever watched and that you have been my hero ever since I started watched youtube. So I give you good luck by being you biggest fan

[@bigballerbrandon1]

The ending made me cry man. Wish you all the best in the future, your Nerf videos were a big part of my brother and I's childhood. Regards from Toronto! 👍🏽

[@damonmartinez9449]

I have watched your Nerf and gaming videos since 2010 in fact you were one of the first KZbin channels I watched and I got invested into I was up to date with the videos so thank you for being a part of my child hood and good luck in California

[@ivanweber9466]

He was one of my first youtuber I have ever watched . hope you have a good life Christopher 😊😊

[@andre51579]

You were the one who introduce me yo gaming and Minecraft. Before I thought it sucks but (crying) I got really addicted to it and I want to say thank you Chris for everything. hopefully you go in a great life. Best regards Andre

[@ChedWildFurry]

Way to go Chris!! I wish you the best!

[@DONKINDONUTS]

Awesome man. I watched so much of your videos when I was younger and hardcore into nerf as well, haha. Times change, and so do our interests. Keep on keepin' on, man. You do you.

[@Scorpiondaily]

I have been a subscriber for awhile as I too was into nerf but stopped a few years before you did. I always loved the way you panned your shots and it looked really professional. I know you have potential in the filmaking business but you must promise to do what you want to do. Hollywood can be persuasive especially with money. Don't let that ruin your ideas. Work should be something you enjoy. I hope the best for you and Deep Sheep. If you ever do a series of any game on pc and need a person feel free to hit me up. I've been a long time fan and it would be great to work with you. I am a sophmore in Highschool and also attend community college if you were wondering. Good luck in your proffession and once again I wish you the best.

[@JohnnyFilmsy-Boi]

Wow. Weird seeing this day come. Hope everything falls into place in the future for you Chris. You did a fantastic job in this channel.

[@axelbarredo9069]

No plz dont leave youtube you are the best man keep on with the videos they are awesome

[@emulord3453]

Thanks Chris for helping me to decide what I want to be when I'm older, so in 10-20 years if you see a film maker named Michael Rogers remember that you are the reason for it

[@BigFlatzzz]

[@keanutrias3077]

We've both matured a lot since I've became a fan of yours back 4 years ago. I'm a grade under you, and I've always looked up to you as an amateur youtuber, but you've grown to so much more. Props.

[@stevepaul6709]

The feelz. Trying not to cry... *Crying*

[@MathiasMueller1099]

Man, I discovered you in 2010 and loved your videos. After watching your I'm moving video it makes me want to cry man. All I have to say is thank you, I've complained about your gaming stuff but now I understand why you lost Interest. I still like your gaming vids but yea. It's just crazy to see you grow up and watch you grow up for a while. It's crazy to watch your journey. I remember when you shared your gamer tag and I couldn't friend you but on Xbox one I did. I would love to play with you some time. But thank you Chris, thank you. I will remember the night I discovered you and my brothers and I watching your videos at like midnight during November of 2010 the first one I watched was the zombie attack. Thank you Chris. For the good memories I've had with your channel. :)

[@briangammal2500]

It's great to see that you enjoy what you do so much, and that you will be moving to just outside Los Angeles, California, the same place I live in as well. Keep up the great work. I have no doubt deep you will exceed your goals and expectations. P.S Southern California has been in a drought for a few years now, so expect high temperatures.

[@bcnerfgaming1587]

THANK YOU Chris and Good Luck

[@ZULOBEY28]

Cacox u have grown to young adult and I've always see your Nerf and others.It's creative and thank you for making such videos.I appreciated it so much.Thank u ;)

[@DrLobotimus]

Amen Chris. You were the shit for me when I was into nerf as well. I have actually began my KZbin dream 2 years ago and next school year I'll be doing animation classes. Thanks to this video I can reflect on how much has changed since I made my channel.

[@DripNZ]

Thank you for this channel its been amazing watching your videos and I can't wait for the future if deep sheep.

[@MarshallHall]

[@lav7012]

[@AldenAbleAlvarez]

[@Maginox]

Wish you luck, you've been a huge impact in my life, as I've gotten more involved with KZbin and video games! Been watching since your 1,000 sub vid!

[@vanguardlegacy98]

[@hash2718]

oh my goodness. i dont ive watched one of your videos since when you read the walking dead comic books to us which i loved and must of been about 4 years ago but damn. most likely you dont remember but i used to love your account. i remember when you did that meet and greet thing at disneyland and i begged my parents to go but we didnt. idk but i deciced to search up your account cause i havnt watched you in so long and seeing this video almost made me cry. I just wanted to say i wish you the best of luck with your career and i hope you have a fantastic life and always do what makes you happy man.

[@Fridgemasters]

I've been watching your videos since Nerf War Candy Bar and dang, you have really evolved. You were the one (along with CDW films) who got me into Nerf and at this moment, I have over 40 guns. You are an amazing KZbinr and I can't wait until your next vid.

[@CommanderMC3]

Been watching your channel since the al n god days... Oh boy, I laughed my ass off back then. 4 years ago, you were my favorite youtuber. I watched your Nerf videos everyday and got into Nerf because of you. Even when you started getting into gaming, I still continued to watch your videos because they always made me laugh or they were interesting. Good luck and best wishes for your future

[@NuclearChicken911]

al n god

[@CommanderMC3]

Yea I noticed thAt... But re typing this paragraph would be hell

[@CommanderMC3]

Almost as bad as bronze elo in league

[@tootses2]

Commander MC Why don't you just edit it?

[@Thepurplealex1]

Commander MC Is Al 'n' God like the movie Bruce Almighty? Just kidding, I agree with you whole-heartedly :)

[@ScarHydreigon87]

I miss the Nerf days...I want one more...

[@TheCFSlayer]

***** There will be 2 more nerf videos

[@kristophercelis7090]

ScarHydreigon87 Same here

[@thevirtualtroopa8101]

Holy crap I can't believe your channel has been around for so long, and I really can't believe you're graduating soon ( I mean that as a good thing, and not a weird parental you're growing up so fast). It's just the memories, and fun you've brought me and so many other people is amazing. You've inspired so many and to this day I can say that the reason I want to get into KZbin, and I"m trying to is because one day shortly after I found out about KZbin I discovered you, and could not stop watching your videos (and I'm sure I'm not the only one who's had a similar experience with your channel). And Because of that I have this image in my head of a younger you leading an army of kids with Nerf guns into battle with 2009 hanging over that picture, and then a picture that says 2015 over that, that has you leading all those same people except now you're going to college, and everyone's setting down their Nerf guns and just following you into the next chapter of your life and their own lives, sorry if that sounded a little creepy. But I guess to sum it all up thank you for all the memories and I hope to one day be like you, and that you have extreme success in your future, because you my fine sir are getting in to some seriously deep sheep. p.s. Do you have any tips for a gaming KZbinr who's just starting out?

[@ABDURANDOMER]

you sir are one of the most brilliant video directors on all of youtube

[@jacksears8647]

My first channel I actually watched a lot of. And holy shit have you changed. I resubscribed so I can keep watching you. Awesome work.

[@Moshir_]

Wow... Keep up your good work I love it all!!

[@sk8rjax537]

Some say KZbin is not a job and it is a waste of time and for some it may not be a real job but it does give people dreams and plans for future jobs CACox97 you will forever be my favorite you-tuber I can't wait till I see the company deep sheep on a big screen.

[@BrownBear406]

I loved your first 10 things not to do in a nerf war I love your channel and this video really thouched my heart. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
