Just stopping in to say hi!

[@tsitua]

Thanks for the update. GO might be the best game in the world, but family comes first :-) Looking forward to getting you back online, when the time is right. Greetings and Thanks

[@theduddha2]

You guys are awesome... Thanks for the kind words. I'm still alive and well.

[@zhenyingwu4500]

Hello, even two years later new people are still discovering your go videos :-) hope you are still enjoying your kids. I have 3 myself, oldest one is about to turn 9, discovered go and was looking for tutorials to shape up my own game a bit so i don't get lapped...

[@theduddha2]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@shoesmoothie3533]

I stumbled upon your channel after I recently found out about Go. Thank you so much for all the tutorials!

[@ghrosopher]

Thanks for stopping in! I have really appreciated your videos and I hope to see more of you whenever you are able to come back

[@aligunduz8582]

[@pablogriswold421]

Our legend returns! You got me past 15 kyu a long time ago, so thank you very much.

[@theduddha2]

Thanks buddy!

[@Gveniar]

Wish you a lot of joy and happiness, thanks for videos)

Hey, viewer from long time ago here! I fell into a sort of trap where I became way too obsessed with the game. Was doing too much memorization, study, playing. Pretty much near nonstop go until I went a bit crazy and burned out. I completely quit the game for well over a year and only very recently returning. I probably regressed from around 10k to 18k lol. Well, at least I've heard that stepping away from the game for a while can be a decent way to improve, especially after hitting a wall. Maybe taking a break will help you break through to dan level after you return. =) Personally, I plan to attempt approaching the game much more casually. Playing only maybe 1 or 2 games per week, watching more than playing, and sticking mostly to just pure basics, with little to no memorization or heavy reading, avoiding complex joseki and fights, etc. I've really been enjoying the basics series by Dwyrin aka Battsgo. I've found it pretty helpful so far and would highly recommend checking it out for players of any level. I also very much look forward to rewatching some of your archived stuff. Even though you aren't around at the moment, I'm glad your old content is available.

[@nothingiseverything827]

Also, I forgot to mention that your vids really helped me out back when I first started playing. Pretty much any time I come across someone who is a complete newb, who may or may not have even heard of go, if they show even the slightest interest I link them to your learn go in 15 mins vid. Really great intro vid!

[@samrodriguez4692]

Hey man! Just discovered your channel and I really want to join what looks like this awesome community! I’m a TOTAL noob, but your channel is very fun and interesting to watch! Hope to see more if you ever decide to come back!

[@jaredong]

That beard of beards. Looking good!

[@Senfree]

I'm going to subscribe anyways. xD

[@olegyashin3467]

My congratulations! Looking for the new video... Thank you

[@moonstar188]

Really like your channel hope to see more content

[@skylarfisher7485]

Love your channel. If you are interested in some online play I’d love to. I have access to igs (mobile Panda tetsuki ) and dragongo server. Some limited access to kgs too

[@nightshade3076]

I hope your doing ok !🙂

[@Cyanscape]

Just wanted to let you know we still miss you. You're loved homie

[@PeterJFin]

I think your dilemma is not uncommon. At some point, people become too busy or too overwhelmed with keeping a KZbin channel going. The viewers don't see the time that you spend producing just one video. It's unfortunate for us fans, but at least we have over 100 videos of content. Hopefully you can return someday. Even something like one short video a month would be awesome! Take care!

[@outtrigger]

You should do more Go book reviews!

[@ThomasBrand]

Hey. Congrats on the kids and degree(s). What do you think of AlphaGo?

[@theduddha2]

+Thomas Brand its awesome! Heard we might get some new joseki out of it

[@RavenToe]

Hi duddha2, I haven't had too much time on my hands either lately and hope to get more time to play go soon. On a good note though I found a tai chi instructor here in Eugene, OR so if all goes well I should be able to contribute to american bushido. For a good and somewhat humorous youtube martial arts channel, check out Master Wong if you get time. peace -g-

[@RogueAizenYubel]

Hey bro, you still around?

[@Ryodakun]

lol you're alive.

[@theduddha2]

+Ryodakun barely lol

[@theduddha2]

+Ryodakun as alive as a dad with three kids could be LOL

[@nothingiseverything827]

Do you plan to return some day? Or is the channel retired permanently?

[@theduddha2]

I do hope to return some day... But the original purpose of the channel was for me to improve and you guys to learn from me improving... I think I've accomplished that. So it'll be more me touching base or maybe when I come back we'll see how weak I've became... Pretty weak

[@these2menrgannadoit]

why so many kids?!?!

[@theduddha2]

these2menrgannadoit I'm just playing the odds. I figured the more kids at half the more likely one of them will take care of me when I'm old...

[@emiliodiaz6527]

This sounds a bit disapointing... I was thinking of making them to work together, like stones properly placed on the board ;)

[@theduddha2]

Life seems to deny me a perfect game time and time again LOL

[@greenbillugaming2781]

take care of your parents in front of them, then they will surly take care of you. Kids do what they see. thats the only way to tranfer values, become a role model your self then they will return to you what u gave them :)
