I'm surprised that bridge could hold the weight of Patman's massive balls. PAT'S THE GOAT.

[@NECABANT]

you could just draw something form a game your talking about, and edit it into one of your regular vids. as the vid goes every so often edit in the drawings progress. you might even like a slight new vid making approach.

[@Kj16V]

Plays games with no hands. Walks bridge with no legs = Absolute Legend

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

LOL thanks

[@MrM-u3h]

I've been watching PatmanQCs videos for a while. I urge anyone that's ever set foot in an old school arcade to check them out! He'll take you on a trip down memory lane and you'll get some interesting insight into the development of these cabinet classics.

[@joeboo8626]

He also adds comparison videos of the console and home computer ports, no matter how obscure the system.

[@jseipp]

@@joeboo8626 it's crazy, he does systems I've never even heard of

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Thanks a lot, I'm glad you enjoyed the content so much

You are an inspiration and a top bloke PatManQC. Again, if I win the lottery you and the family are coming to New Zealand on me and I’ll take you out for a game of ten pin.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

That sounds pretty spectacular my friend. I would love to see New Zealand and go bowling :-) thanks

[@jacksampsonforever]

You're just plain awesome, Pat! YOU put the QUAD in the Quad Cities!

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

I thought your face seemed familiar. Thanks a lot

[@MrPoestyle]

AWESOME !!!! You most definitely are an inspiration . I love all of your videos . I'm not an amputee , but my health has been in decline for 4 years now and none of the specialists know what is wrong . I don't think that I would be able to walk that these days . But I am still gaming the best that I can on my channel . It still makes me very happy . Thanks for all that you do . Your's are my favorite kind of KZbin videos . I could watch for hours and sometimes I do instead of working on my own videos .

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Thanks a lot. Sorry to hear about your problems and it's awesome that you can still game and make videos. Keep doing what you like! If you ever need to chat hit me up

[@MrPoestyle]

@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries thank you so much . My 3 friends and I do a live stream every Sunday night at 7 PM EST . We all come from different kinds of gaming . 2 of them mostly do pinball and simulation games and my other friend plays all of the old console games and arcade games like I do . He and I are both HUGE fans of your videos and The Gaming Historians . We would love to have you on the show sometime if that is OK . We do talk about you and your channel because we are big fans .

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Sure, send me an email and we will work it out

[@Choralone422]

Great job! I drive across that bridge all the time. Will be again a few times on Monday of this week! While I had driven across the dreaded dual suspension bridges for close to 3 decades and not had any major incidents despite the many pile up accidents that happened on it, I do really appreciate how huge the new bridge is! I had a first hand look at some of the planning & prep on the Illinois side of the new bridge as in the mid 2010s I was working at Deere's primary data center which is on 19th St in downtown Moline. There were years of prep work done since the new bridge affected many "unseen" aspects of that particular Deere facility. :)

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

So you had an absolute fantastic view of the prep work! I always wanted to do this and it wasn't until my buddy Steve offered I was able to get it done.

Hey Pat, been a subscriber for a few months. I had no idea what you have had to go through over the past couple years. You are such an inspiration for others to see how you can carry on with life despite what you have gone/and are going through. Amazing story and are so proud of you for pushing yourself through this. Thank you for all the documentaries which are amazing and why I first subbed. Keep it up Pat you are a legend

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Thanks! How very, very generous of you. I sure do appreciate that. Thank you so much for being a loyal subscriber! I will definitely roll a few frames on you :-)

[@xxHUNGRY4THETRUTHxx]

That looks like an awesome place. I oughta' try that out instead of just hanging around the casino when I bug out in the quad cities. My home is in middle Texas but I've been trucking all over since 97' and have developed a mild familiarity with your region. Des Moines and Kansas City have became some of my favorite destinations because of the miles and miles of foot and bike trails. And I'm happy to announce that my home town of San Antonio is really catching on. The tunes form those happy little games is what I love to take with me whenever I get the opportunity to take those long hikes. I once covered 18 miles in one day. Built up a library of over 8,000 tracks and the list is still growing.

[@BlackArroToons]

Cool bridge to walk across, Patman. Thanks for the historical and funny Video Game Videos!
