NEW EYEPATCH WOLVES RUN AVAILABLE NOW- eyepatchwolves.com Thanks for watching my videos, get some rest over the holidays, I love you

[@jimmy1929]

reading that after the very end of the video is extremely weird

[@Par-Crom]

Man, there's something to be said because I've seen that from months ago, maybe years now (times flies!). I love your style, your way of whispering things like ASMR to appear more dramatic, just so you break that atmosphere with a funny sequence afterwards ; but please, be gentle to our EARS, I'm not a metalhead, it physically hurt my ears sometimes in your videos ; I want my hearing abilities to keep perfect when (if) I grow older, please mind the sound mixing for your next videos, thanks for reading. Take care of you and your family, happy holidays 💜

I just realized -- what *is* the movie from 36:00, #2? The name is never said or listed and even when I looked at Mia Goth's IMDB I can't find any film that matches it.

[@yoriavila4308]

Your gameplay of Slay the Princess was honestly painful to watch the more and more I saw it. Like... you're skipping new dialogue faster than Vergil runs away from child support like c'mon Wolf.

I have had one of the worst years of my life, and in times when I am down and struggling I often forget about the things I like and why I like them. John these videos are a brilliant little pick me up in those times to remind myself of why I love wrestling, anime and other cool stuff you talk about in these videos. I hope you have wonderful Christmas and a better 2024. Thank you for everything.

[@MarkoPooloo]

You and me both. Sometimes it can be easy to forget you like certain things. I know when I'm in a bad place I feel like not wanting to engage in the things I enjoy because I feel like I won't enjoy them the right way, instead waiting for when I feel better to take them in. Which is silly. No perfect time than right now. I'm rambling, sorry. I hope next year, and just every day forward will be better than the last. Have a good one 😊

I’ll take 6-12 exceptional episodes of super eyepatch wolf a year over weekly mediocre videos pumped out by just about every other channel on KZbin. You do you, man. Never apologize for holding yourself to a high standard.

[@connorc1635]

I see alot of video makers who worry about slow output, but waiting for the quality is so much better. I know that as a viewer, I watch ALOT of channels that do not put out alot of videos, so it actually balances out and I pretty much always have something to watch, so I don't mind waiting. (not that I would mind anyway lol)

[@Scarshadow666]

@@connorc1635 Same thoughts as well! Quality over quantity! ^^

[@Scarshadow666]

Definitely agree! Good quality videos are always worth the wait! Wish KZbin's (and other social medias in general) executives/CEOs knew that so that the algorithms they establish don't make content creators and artists overwork themselves in order to do their jobs well... But they, unfortunately, seem to be so greedy that they want their users to focus on subpar and/or low-effort content than support creators that need breaks to make well-made content. -_-

If you loved "Slay the princess", the narrator is Jonathan Sims, who wrote the horror podcast The Magnus Archives. Its amazing and is brought to live with the same amazing narrator as the game.

Bray's death honestly hit me hard and I don't exactly know why. Like he wasn't my favorite wrestler, I don't have fond memories of his wrestling, but when I found out about his death, it broke me for a couple of days. He still had so much more to give to wrestling and had a family to care for and to see him die so early in his life is so brutal. RIP Windham Rotunda. You were a great person and great wrestler

[@starchaic6446]

I’ve never cared about wrestling ever in my life. Your recap of the Shirakawa vs. Kamitani made me actually tear up. There is such truth to be found in the place where fiction and reality collide through catharsis. Here’s to hoping they have long, amazing, fulfilling lives.

My favorite part about Mutant Mayhem is the fact that the dialogue was largely improvised by the teenage cast. Seth Rogan figured that no one could write dialogue as natural for teens better than they could just say it, so that's exactly what they did.

28:39 your work is meaningful to me and many others, and I’m thankful you choose to share your art with us. You have tons of love out here with your fans, but also love from the people in your life. You don’t owe us a single thing, but only to know you’re loved.

[@colbymclemore7642]

As a guy around your age with similar struggles in regards to mental health, I just want to say from the bottom of my heart, I absolutely LOVE your weird little videos and your content puts a smile on my face. As an MMA fan, you’ve also done a lot to make me realize why so many enjoy WWE and I’m starting to gain an appreciation for it.

[@RealLukeWilson]

For anyone who loved Slay the Princess as much as I did, you should check out Black Tabby’s other game, Scarlet Hollow. It’s easily one of my absolute favorite games of all time, and even though it’s still incomplete, it’s still absolutely worth playing. It’s a visual novel where your choices have long-term consequences, about a dying coal mining town where some disturbing things are starting to happen. You play as the estranged grandchild of the matriarch who owned the mine, whose recent death is why you’re in town. There’s a planned 7 chapters in total, each one covering a single day of the week, and the first 4 are currently out, with the fifth slated for mid-2024 (it’s just two people making it, so progress is slower than other games). It’s so good; it’s way better than Slay the Princess, which is still in my Top 5 GOTYs.

[@steepology5985]

God, do i love scarlet hollow! I appreciate slay the princess, but i wish SH got the same amount of love. Easily my favorite experience i’ve had playing a game.

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

Mutant Mayhem was incredibly endearing to me. I can't say it's my favorite Turtles movie, but the art style and acting are on point. The brothers FEEL like brothers and absolutely sell being 14 years old in 2023. Some of the jokes linger for too long and I don't feel like Raph or Mikey get enough screen time, but that does just make it stand out as its own unique thing in the franchise all the more. The wonky "hand drawn 3D" makes me think of Psychonauts, which is never a bad thing.

[@jiwazuro1515]

Got into a car accident today, luckily no one got hurt.. still feel shocked, your video helped cheering me up, thank you John..

[@lazerline74u65]

Idk if you’ll see this comment but I noticed you talked abt how your poor mental health is responsible for less uploads. As you’ve not uploaded this year I hope that’s not still the case and I hope you’re well, take as much time on this upload as you need. Next vid in 2025, 100% okay. We’ll be here when you get back.

[@larsbrown9933]

I kind of know several of the people Scott Pilgrim was based on (rode on a bus from Seattle to San Diego with Young Neil lol). I haven't seen Bryan for a bit but I think the whole thing is a testament to growing older, mature, understanding your life and how you interact with others. SP was especially wild for me as it came out because the character was younger than me when I started reading it and I had a kid on the way when it ended. The original ending definitely didn't land for me at the time and I commiserated with a few other artists and podcasters about it at the 2010 Scott Pilgrim San Diego party (sponsored by the Toronto Tourism board no less!) so it is fantastic to see it blossom into such a spectacular and tight anime in 2023 (RIP Doug Sherwood, I didn't know we lost him this year until the show came out. I remember proofreading volume 4 with Doug at the Oni office when it came out).

[@adgreenfield]

Great list overall and particularly LOVED the wrestling section. The Stardom segment got me right in the heart -- you had me misty-eyed over a storyline I was previously unfamiliar with! Also delighted that Swerve is getting so many flowers. Got to work with him in MLW and you could tell he was going to be a huge star from the jump -- he was our first WHC of the modern era! Great guy to work with behind the curtain, as well. Excellent work as always; have a wonderful holiday and 2024! Great artificial bump on the intelligent head-butt, too!

[@lostandlikingit]

No cap, no irony, and no bullshit. I genuinely love your content John. Thank you for the many hours of entertainment and knowledge you have provided me. You have lead me to things in life I wouldn't have tried without this channel. Thank you once again.

"The coming of dinosaur Satan" is actually the plot of a Judge Dredd comic I recently had in my hands. It also involved the realm of dark matter, genetic experiments and reptilians. I am not kidding about any of this.

While I'm always triple checking to see if you dropped something new, the quality is always so great that I'm more than happy to wait while you take the time to take care of yourself.

But watching videos like this kept me sane, reminded me that i have interests that make up myself and that its not worthless, because it helps define me. Slowly my year started to get better but im still compating loneliness after losing so many people that i thought actually cared about me but actually were masks that ended up cracking once i saw through them. Life is tough, thats why i retreat and wind down with these videos, there calming when things are hard to get through, so thank you for that.

I am now convinced that wrestling is just real-life anime

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

I wouldn't be surprised if the reason modern anime is the way it is, is because Akira Toriyama is a wrestling fan and that shaped Dragon Ball Z. Since so many shows are so heavily influenced by DBZ, or influenced by other shows that were influenced by DBZ, that makes the most sense to me.

What I was most surprised and excited to see mentioned? Slay the Princess! I binged it so hard a few days after release. It hit just the right mix of melancholy and humor I needed at that time. The art style was what drew me in, and the voice acting only made it better. There's just o much love in it.

So great to see you back. I’m so saddened in hearing you’ve been struggling this past year. I hope you can take some solace in the fact that you are not alone. I also struggled with mental health problems and some real life difficulties this year. And it’s hard because you can feel alone, even when you’re surrounded by those who love you. It can be hard to share what’s troubling you and get a response that actually matters. But we care. And we all hope things get better for you. I just hope this doesn’t come across as some trite response. Because you have made a difference in my life. I found enjoyment in your videos this year during a period when any enjoyment at all was oh so difficult to find. That means something to me. So thank you.

[@willieboi135gh]

You're an inspiration brother

The Bear has been etched so deeply into my mind that the moment John told his steak anecdote I audibly shouted “THE BEAR!”

[@DragonXL47]

I've been watching Napoleon for over a year, I love his work so much and glad he's getting recognized for it!

[@NapoleonBlownapartMMA]

Thank you 😁

[@X_Blake]

Great work on today's video John. Always appreciate how much effort you put in your stuff. I hope things get better for you next year. I can relate about having a lot of mental health issues this year. I hate this year and I can only hope and wish things will get better in the next.

[@yaboiricku919]

Please never stop covering wrestling, genuinely its my favorite content on the entire platform

[@ItsJesMe]

I always appreciate that he splits the horror into a totally separate section, so pansies like me can feel okay dropping off the video at that point. Thanks for another year of great videos!

[@kizzlebizzle6889]

Me before: awesome! A new Super Eyepatch Wolf video! *42 minutes later* Me after: the storyline between Mina Shiragawa and Saya Kamitani is one of the greatest story arcs I have ever seen

[@andyheydt]

AWESOME! A new Supereeyepatchwolf video on a Saturday morning?! This day is starting off on the right foot!

[@eret3]

Honestly, now that you've mentioned it, I'd really want to know your thoughts on Pluto. It came out in October and you seem to have really liked it, so I thought it would be showing up in this list.

[@Chandlebrap]

Wanted to say thank you for your videos, I've also not had a great mental health year but your videos always help me when I'm low. Just now coming to a headspace where I can enjoy horror again so thank you for everything Mr Wolf

[@rafaelo1013]

Dude, I’ve missed your videos soooooooo much, really connect with your passion for almost everything, I don’t really like wrestling, but the way you talk about it, man, how sweet and incredible it’s to hear you talk about it. Cool video again, bro, as always.

[@jjdlaughs]

The fact that you can see the set in the reflection of leslie bestington's sunglasses. Symbolism

[@MrTheWaterbear]

Yooooo!!! My favourite thing 2023 was you, bro

[@bmwkmx1]

Thanks bud. Love your channel and keep your head up. Happy Holidays Happy New year!!!

[@tonythesuperperson]

I really appreciate your work and these lists are always a treasure trove

[@Nottherealnowinsky]

Haven't watched but i don't think john is going to mention how much of a simp he was while playing slay the princess

[@yttube4865]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE EFFORT YOU PUT IN

[@Vercalos]

Love your videos, even if I'm not one for mind games, horror, or wrestling, your enthusiasm for those subjects allow me to enjoy them vicariously through you, for just a few moments.

[@neoncyber2001]

I've been loving your live streams this year. It's just so much fun to see you play a game unscripted. And I love the videos you always set a high bar of quality for each one you put out.

[@obelisk766]

very exited to watch this, you always make the best content

[@hellandruby]

This man might very well be the most genuine KZbinr currently. He's just a man, and he doesn't forget it, but He also makes sure that we don't either. Genuinely amazing.

[@shinkenrock]

I just wish he had a better mic xD. The pzzzt is distracting at times

[@WeskAlber]

@@shinkenrock I'm not hearing any static? Do you mean WHILE he is talking? Because max volume, when he's not speaking, its crystal clear

[@shinkenrock]

@@WeskAlber Yeah when he speaks and especially when there is an "s" in the word. After a few minutes you kinda get used to it but at the start its hard not to notice (for me at least)

[@WeskAlber]

@@shinkenrock As someone who hears every little fucking click of someone's mouth (creating my own stuff has ruined so many videos for me because I never heard the clicks before) I'm just not hearing it. Maybe that's like opposite direction of clicks and I'm not trained for that.

[@allenwalker4703]

No he's not, he's a character that will stop existing as soon as you stop thinking about him.

[@Oomles]

These videos are legit a highlight to me, I always find something new to check out

[@TheClockchan]

Great costuming in this video lol! What a cherry on top of one big treat!

[@tpsam]

This year I finally watched hunter x Hunter and chimera ant is as peak as advertised this year only anime I saw on that level is this underrated gem no one is watching this season SHY episode 8 to 11 the Russia arc goes so hard and the flashback is brutal making the whiplash for the resolution in ep 11 even more heartwarming and cathartic

[@ordinarykid.]

Idk if you ever read my comments or not but I really appreciate each and every one of your videos. Just like people used to wait for every chapter of berserk, I wait for your video. Ik it might make overthink about this, and you don't have to. I recently watched your interview with the trash taste guys and I really appreciate your 'make videos you want to'. Idk if I'll ever make a video successfully to actually publish it but that's motivation enough. Enough of my rambling. Have a nice day and a new year ahead.

[@ronmitchell9710]

I really got into your content this past year and as someone who has struggled with mental health for a long time, your videos have been a constant comfort when I need something engaging and/or funny to unwind. Thanks man.

[@mjdoombreed]

Eventually is my favorite time of year! Can't wait for the next extra long deep dive video! These videos are all gold.

[@FishyFishy_]

Nice to see someone appreciate slay the princess! Recently found it and had an amazing time, super underrated gem :)

[@doyleharken3477]

not that i disagree it's a good game, but is it really underrated if it was the top streamed game on twitch for weeks on end

[@FishyFishy_]

@@doyleharken3477 oh interesting, didnt actually see that at all. wasnt following the twitch trends much

[@parsath_2584]

I'm having a long day at work, so this is gonna get me through. Thank you Wolf

[@bushidoblues9302]

Always quality videos and recommendations. I love the horror stuff you recommend!

[@statusquo3559]

I just wanted to say thank you for making this video. Several years ago you got me into wrestling and I have made some amazing new friends because of it. I love your content and I am so happy to see this video!

[@MrRoMaGi]

I'm stuck at an airport for another 2 hours, thanks John.

[@robinmask1012]

If you (and anyone else in the comments who like wrestling) hasn't checked it out I highly recommend Takuya Nomura vs. Fuminori Abe from Ktdan fighting detectives. It's hard hitting, brutal and easily the best match of the entire decade. It's a great tribute to Battlarts and its horrendously brutal the headbutts in the match will make your skin crawl its a work of art

[@imoutotrash390]

Also it's on wrestle universe one of the best deals for wrestling.

[@Sigma_Male_Anti_Female]

Isn't wrestling fake?

[@robinmask1012]

@My_pfp_beats_all_dog_breeds. wrestling is scripted however some wrestlers prefer to hit harder or sometimes just for real in certain occasions. Abe and Nomura are both influenced by BattlARTS a promotion that was heavily influenced by MMA. Thus Abe and Nomura tend to hit very hard and when they throw headbutts they are doing those for real which make them so gross to watch

[@charris22]

Wow, your writing and editing is such a wonderful experience! Truly one of a kind!

[@user-th6gs1bz3j]

thanks eyepatch wolf. happy holidays

[@Zer0_Time_EXE]

Good morning eyepatch

[@Spacialvekter]

I love these videos both because they scratch that part of my brain that likes to see people mark out about things they love and because your suggestions match my tastes most of the time. However, I especially love that you spend time in these lists to prop up other, smaller creators. I feel like it's important for people on platforms like this where the algorithm is king to help others transcend it and find a larger audience. It's real genuine of you and I love it.

[@verityverri6506]

As someone who got Covid on the release day, I can tell you that Intense Diarrhea is not part of the new update, it was a fully functional feature on day 1.

[@bluy6]

I look forward to these every year man you really have awesome taste!

[@meltyholic]

OHHH im so excited!! always love watching these

[@InoriDoki]

NAPOLEAN BLOWNAPART IS SO GOOD. I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT MARTIAL ARTS/FIGHTING BUT HIS SCRIPTS ARE PHENOMENALLY WRITTEN AND HE’S GENUINELY HILARIOUS.

[@arin4395]

you are awesome , thank you always 4 the wonderful content

[@averyorsini6600]

I love when you randomly bring up something that I already like. And have liked for years.
