E-Heroes - Galaga & Cosmo Gang

[@chillerduu39]

Andrew, your are up there with my favorite game reviewers. I mean those like JonTron, PBG, AVGN. While I don't want to discredit their work, it's the quality of your work and your efforts that keeps me coming back and see it progress. I honestly don't know how you lack the recognition at least I find that you deserve (got to start small I guess). Heck, E-Heroes started out pretty well. The humor is great, the editing fantastic. I just wanted you to know, you make something great that is much appreciated to see. I hope to be at least a fraction as encouraging as Justin Carmical.

[@eveie0mletes838]

Dear andrew ( we have the same name ) I have been a sub for some time And as broke free of my timid shell I got the bravery and heart to tell you that I've been going though some hard stuff and I thought I would fail math this year and die with a poor job but your message felt like something to me and I felt like all of those words were to me and I don't know what it's like to lose a dear friend like justin but what you said warmed me... So thank you, I'll think of you as a far off chum, and look at me now!!! I was the only kid in my class to get a 99.5% and I feel hope for my future character BRAX! So thank you... You truly did change a soul that day

[@ElectronicHeroes]

That means a lot =) keep it up!

[@eveie0mletes838]

Your welcome I'm going into high school and I'll be aming at the game designing corp and sense I live in Maryland and 15 I'll prob not see you ;(

[@Larry]

"Galaxian 3 only came out in Japan for the PlayStation". ...Shows the European box of the game. Bit of a Chris Bores moment there hey? :D

[@ElectronicHeroes]

Oh... whoops. lol. Guess that's gonna happen.

[@Larry]

Andrew Dickman Lol, I've done loads of mistakes in videos that I've kicked myself over. Luckily most of the "Actually..." people (or "The Actuallys" as I like to call them :D) haven't noticed most of them yet.

[@manilchiba5967]

That was a very heartfelt video. The beautiful truth is that through social media and the internet a lot of our lives are enriched by channels like yours. It took me by surprise since its been a while since JewWario passed on, but it's amazing to see how many people's lives he's reached. You are not alone when you mourn. You are not alone when you cry.

[@Phantomsangel]

Thanks Andrew. It's nice to hear encouraging words from someone like you and Justin. I know I need to hear that sometimes and I'm sure many other people need to. So I just want to say thank you.

[@user-xc6zw5rc8t]

you sir have alot of potential you seem to look at these games with alot of sentimentality rather than just complaing and roasting these games it feels really informative whimsical and fun thanks for these great videos!

[@Krillos]

It is a very review, man. ^ ^ May Justin “JewWario” Carmical rest in peace.

[@MrsHalloweenJack]

Oh, Andrew - I'm used to watching your videos on TGWTG, but I wanted to log in on here to say thank you. Thank you for the amazing things you draw, for working hard to produce quality videos (such as this here review) for our entertainment. Also, thank you for these words. It was heartfelt, and genuine, and really, really heartwarming. Just... thank you. I know a lot of people who are low these days, myself included. I know people who are feeling downright desperate... thank you for speaking up, and reminding us how many possibilities we have as human beings. We won't forget JewWario. I never met him ; as many, I didn't know him outside of the videos he was making - and even by them it was obvious how much of a kind person he was. I'm sincerely sorry for your loss. I hope you'll keep going and stay strong. Thank you, again. I may not know you either, but you deserve all the hugs. ... Sorry if that wasn't the most structured of comments.

[@Blueflag04]

what happen???

[@kylesokol]

Amazing review, man. Keep up the great work. And crying is fine, hit me right in the feels.

[@SirRobertBaker]

Love your review man, RIP Justin.

[@NapoleonWinston]

*All the hugs in the world for Andrew* I love these videos and I hope you and your colleges are doing better and healing from the loss.

[@marscaleb]

I never get tired of that opening title sequence. It amazes me to see such a lengthy and well-made animation when most videos like this simply don't have that.

[@daffydwagstaff4246]

Only just caught up with this video. The "You can play this" line brought a lump to my throat. Anyway, Merry Christmas Andrew, and please keep making your videos.

[@ZeroondA]

Man everytime I hear that quote, a single tear rolls down my cheek ...

[@swiftjames7]

Andrew, you're a fantastic artist and a great guy, always loved seeing your works over the years and it's ever-impressive to see how you keep such enthusiasm for games and art and the characters in them! The Electronic Heroes channel has been a great place to turn to for fun facts, good giggles and hilarious hijinks and both myself and my wife plan to keep coming back for more so long as you keep making these. :) Your words at the end were also quite the encouragement for me and I've already reached out to another KZbinr whom I've admired and told them how much we enjoy their work. I've also taken the time to dive into making my own youtube channel (called SwiftDragon, but it's not the game-channel one if you happen to search for it) where I'm starting by showing off the custom MMX Maverick style costume that I'm building, letting folks see my progress as I go. :) (heck, the idea to create such a character came from seeing your DarkNapalm character and others from your website many years ago) Please, keep making these wonderful videos and please stay awesome, you've certainly inspired me! James Swift, the SwiftDragon

[@FarelForever]

Funny, often times I avoid this video, because I fear that it'll just make me sad, but whenever I do end up watching it, it ends up making making me happier. I.... I mean there is sadness, but we do end on a very encouraging message. Thank you very much Andrew :)

[@muttjones222]

Andrew, I love your work, you're one of my favorite artists and I really want you to keep making videos. You're doing a great job man, keep it up.

[@HastursHatred]

The moment you pulled out that Famicom game i got the drift of what this video would be about. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, thanks for the nice words. Thanks to you for making these videos.

[@Cameroo]

Hey Andrew, loved your art and animation work here forever. Great job on the youtube channel here also. You're very fun to watch and have a great presence on screen. Thanks for taking the time to make these.

[@ShadyHitchhiker]

As someone who remembers what a VCR looks like, I enjoyed this review. Also the Justin dedication was unexpected, heartfelt and sad. Subscribed.

[@SirRobertBaker]

BTW, I cried on my video as well when I did a tribute to Justin.^^;

[@zmythos]

I wanted to say something but your words have struck me speechless Mr. Dickman. *sigh* That was a wonderful tribute to Justin and even moreso just wonderful work in general. You have such a fun and positive attitude in presenting your content. :)

[@idman2]

I just wanted to say think you for making E-Heroes. I look forward to seeing every episode you make.

[@SnakeyZedd]

THanks for doing this Andrew,you rock every time when you do these! Thanks for posting them and continue doing so in the future!

[@TeamBelmont91]

Uhhhh...Mr. Dickman, about that dedication to JewWario... _Whooh, boy,_ *_THIS_* _is gonna be awkward news to break to you and anyone that found this comment around here..._

[@EruditeChap]

Andrew, I hope this doesn't seem diminished because you prompted it at the end of your video but... I love your work, the illustrations, animation, and videos. I think you're doing a great job, and I really appreciate it. Keep up the good work, especially in the E-Heroes videos. The humour and delivery gets sharper every time!

[@TheShadowHatter]

Rest In Piece Justin! you were one badass David Bowie in the Suburbian Knights

[@Triistar22]

Aw man, this is the first I've heard about what happened to JewWario. Dang, he really was a great guy; I met him at C2E2 last year and even got to take a photo with him. It sucks that he's gone now. Great video, and thanks for that ending. It gives me a bit of courage to talk to people I really appreciate!

[@MaverickHunterXZA]

Why the heck havent i found your channel any sooner ? By sheer accident, i stumbled upon one of your video (Gargoyls Quest for that matter) and almost automatically hit the subscribe button. Why ? This one video oozed with love. There was so much efford put into it, that i didnt even need to watch the rest of your videos to hit the button, because i knew, that i wanted more. Then i watched this video and, for the lack of a better term, was blown away. I still havent seen all of your videos, as, well, i only know about you for a couple of minutes, but nevertheless, thank you so much for what you are doing. You are most definitly a true (electronic) hero...thank you.

[@BreakManZ]

Great video as always, Andrew. I didn't even know about Cosmo Gang and I thought the tribute to Justin was very appropriate. I was tearing up when you were reading the words he spoke.

[@CthulhuianBunny]

This was a wonderful video Andy, thank you!

[@Locomamonk]

oh man I didn't know you knew JW, so glad I found your channel, I found it months ago by looking for Shantae reviews (which aren't that many), I didn't see you on the RetroWare event. Glad to have you on my favs, cheers for your show growing, I'm totally hooked on! You rock!

[@Mrchibirobin]

dude i cried with you at the end man :) easily the best part i have seen of you love you man

[@ItsRetroPlanet]

I know this is an older video, I know that it probably doesn't matter too much right now. But I just wanted to say that this video inspires me to continue my own ventures. Growing my KZbin channel with my own game reviews, making stupid voice over clips for people and just having a good time, I just wanted to say that you and jew Mario bowls inspire me to continue. Thank you both, and may he rest in peace.

[@KeroKaminaX]

Thank you for the Jew wario refrence :')

[@KayleighNime]

You're an amazing artist and an all round lovely person and I think that really comes through in your videos, and you should keep up doing them. I think Justin would be so proud of you. Xxx

[@jbobthebrave]

Great job Andrew! Thanks for the tribute at the end - very moving and inspiring :)

[@Dalekiano]

This was very touching... I like YOU to know your doin' a great job here on your vids ;) I love your animation/art style, and your humor, and look forward to more vids.

[@TransAce92]

Great video as usual man, the Galaga series looks pretty fun. :) I feel ya man... it's a shame Justin Carmical took his own life, but I'm sure he inspired and encouraged a lot of people all around. You reminded me that things are very important indeed, no matter how stressing life can be. Kudos to you, Andrew.

[@Katojana]

RIP JW. He will always Play this in my heart. Really, really great obituary. It made me cry. again.

[@Blueflag04]

what happen???

[@MysteryEzekude]

Well, I sure enjoyed watching this entertaining retrospective on Namco's Galaga and Cosmo Gang. You were pretty thorough with the games in both series and their aspects (e.g. gameplay elements, presentation, etc.). You even spiced it up with a few charming jokes like the reference to 2001: A Space Odyssey. Considering the intensity of Galaga Legions, I suppose somebody had to do it. My only complaint is that you left out the Cosmo Gang mini-game in Point Blank 2. To me, I believe that's the closest you can get to having a true console port of the original arcade game. All in all, I found this an entertaining retrospective well done. Great job and...condolences.

[@Tanerion]

I knew what was up after you said "you can play this". You're awesome :)

[@altazet]

Words cannot describe what I feel so I will make it short. Thank You. Thank You from the bottom of my heart.

[@Silentbobx]

Great job, Andrew. Can't wait for the next episode.

[@HeyItsPaul]

Cool meeting you at game dude a few weeks ago! Seriously awesome content, dude.

[@stephenosbragg3416]

I'm glad you had said a very personal event to us. I'm sorry for the tragic event, things will always change for the better, thank you Mr. Andrew I hope we all have a brighter future

[@Superguy0009]

Spectacular video.

[@MrKiafp]

That was beautiful Andrew. :,)

[@scarfoflegend6239]

You're a good friend Andrew, Justin would have been proud. I just now learned of his passing. I know what it's like to lose someone like that. I knew his work from ThatGuyWithTheGlasses. You did a very honorable and noble thing. Perhaps you can keep his legacy alive. I enjoy your work very much.

[@darkdude1900]

I know this is a bit late, but thank you so much for that message at the end man. I mean it, thank you.

[@sw1tchpoint]

Great video as always man, andI am deeply sorry for the loss of Justin Carmichael he was a great man

[@thenewguyinred]

What I always love about Galaga is that the enemies always make a funny sound when they die, I always like to kill the Goeis first they make the cooler death sound.

[@Taydar]

Sorry for your loss

[@Gat720Dua]

On a unrelated note, there's also a webcomic of Galaga (along with other Namco characters) made by ShiftyLook.

[@WarioLand3]

I was just getting over the whole JewWario thing... :'( The wound is open again.

[@Chiro_Cody]

after all of these years, i still cry knowing that a great friend passed away. Im still gonna try to do my best as a you tuber. for J-dubs

[@Kuruttra]

You are awesome... I dont say it because you told us to but because you really deserve it. I watch you here on KZbin and on Deviant art. And I miss Justin aswell... you know what, Im going top draw something now. Thank you for inspiring me

[@jpeacocks4]

We all walk our own paths in life as long as we have a purpose it'll be worth it. Also Galaga Legions is this game on steam if not we must put it on steam.

[@Heffy_Boi]

Seeing as though you touched upon what's important to _you_, I thought I'd share how I found you and why I think _you're_ important. The first time I saw your name was below a TGWTG video, where it said that you made the thumbnail. Out of curiosity, I tried Googling Andrew Dickman, from there I found your deviantART creations and remember being very impressed with them. I continued on to your website and that's where I found Roomies. At first, I didn't think I'd read it for very long, then before I knew it, I was glued to it and now I eagerly await its continuation. After that however, I kinda forgot about you for a bit (which is something I wholeheartedly regret). That is, until I stumbled upon your Aladdin: Nasira's Revenge review on the recommended section of TGWTG. I remember playing this game as a kid and although I didn't particularly enjoy it, I still had at least a little fun with it. But when I saw your reactions and frustraion with the game, it brought back so many awful memories and made me realize just how bad that game truly was. The review was hilarious, I really enjoyed it through and through. Once again, I find myself eagerly awaiting your next video. I guess what I'm trying to say is, I can tell that everything you do is done with passion and care. That's something I don't always see nowadays and it's certainly something to appreciate above all else. I also just wanted to say thank you for your kind words toward the late Justin Carmichael. In all due respect, I nearly bawled my eyes out close to the end. :') Because of you (as well as my recent employment, tee hee) I've decided to become a Patron, I feel like you deserve my support and I want to preserve E-Heroes for as long as possible. Who knows, I may even become a Patron for others as well. Thank you for all you do, Andrew! :)

[@Dr.ruby7LT]

I always wanna to play Cosmo Gang: The Video

[@daba01nation]

Don't cry dude... he was a good person and sound like one too and I'm making a game about the hearts of people we love even if their lost.... and please hear me out cheer up its OK and ill dedicate u to my game....your an inspiration dude... keep on going!

[@Sonicsora]

[@orphie9349]

[@CrazyRiverOtter]

Not gonna lie, my heart cracked clean in half when he said "You're not stupid."

[@zantar123]

The space pilot costume was awesome, and no that wasn't too corny.

[@Shadowlordreaper]

Andrew, you best hope to God I don't meet you in person... because I'm gonna give you the biggest hug of your life if I do. Keep up the wonderful work. :)

[@azureATC]

Another great video.

[@otaking3582]

If we're going off of Namco High continuity, the space ship IS your main character. Bring back Shifty Look, Namco Bandai!!!

[@gaymienne]

I only played this game once I should play it again

[@JeanTheAdventurerKid-Jean]

Thank you, Andrew.

cosmo gang looked cute as shit, it seems like a 90's cartoon I would have watched as a kid

[@TheGeckoNinja]

great video andrew c:

[@jipostus]

I'd like to point out Deluxe Galaga (Amiga title) and it's successor Warblade to you, which are Galaga clones, and amazing ones as well. The creator of both games Edgar M. Vigdal had a kickstarter for Warblade Mk.II, but it seems it will not be made, because Edgar got sick just after the kickstarter ended. But anyhow, Warblade is avaible for PC, Mac and iOS, and is totally worth checking out, if you truly like Galaga. Also, I'm sorry for your loss. Justin was truly a phenomenal person, who will be missed.

[@ElectronicHeroes]

Oh wow, pretty neat I'll look into those. I have no idea how to get an Amiga, I'd like to try out Deluxe Galaga sometime.

[@jipostus]

Andrew Dickman There is no need, as Warblade is pretty much a remake of Deluxe Galaga. It has 25 more levels, and some more stuff in it.

[@TheAveification]

Very well said sir. *sniff*

[@ottagol1985]

Nice tribute.

[@EpicAwesomeYo]

HEY! .... Thanks. You be Awesome too.

[@metroidfannumber1234]

galaga and cosmo gang are alright. but it's not quite as "R-" or "Typey" as i would have liked. perhaps with some more gruesome bosses and powerful upgrades.
