Tara Says Goodbye to Rev3Games

Talk to Tara on Twitter! / taralongest
Tara says goodbye to Rev3Games, and reminisces about the journey that got her where she is today.

[@MrSiloterio]

Still dropping by from June 2020 saying hello. I still miss this channel.

[@matthewlee4834]

:'(

[@Bill.7_6]

Hi

[@MrSiloterio]

@@Bill.7_6 hello

[@NeroLeMorte]

Yep

[@sirrparker47]

I just came back here to see if anyone was still here

[@soflokid954]

Yep. I keep hoping they come back. I loved this channel. They were so simple yet so passionate about gaming talk. It was always nice to see a new video as soon as I got out of work. I miss these guys man!

[@irican3167]

Yea I still do the same , guess they ain't coming back

[@MrSiloterio]

+Big Boss Still subscribed. Will and always be subscribed. This was the best channel I've been in my life. That moment when we still got Sessler and Max and Scott and Carboni in Casual Friday and my personal fave, Adam and Anthony. That bit-tune intro sound just gave me the feels again.

[@muckymucks]

+Matt Terio Check out a channel called Outside Xbox. It's two guys and a girl and they're really cool. Despite the name it's not exclusively about Xbox. They cover everything.

[@MrSiloterio]

+gimpinmypants yeah. i've been watching them for a bit but haven't subscribed. will consider doing it tho. the girl's Jane Douglas btw. she's from GameSpot a while back and currently that site's experiencing a massive exodus. Another sad predicament for me as it was my first gaming site since I've discovered the internet at the age of 12.

[@KevinSheppard]

Now who will I go to for unbiased game reviews??

[@TheKidd2639]

Ign

[@KevinSheppard]

Giovanni Colon you're a comedian

[@KCLovesKicks]

AngryJoeShow

[@Quemical83]

KCLovesKicks hardly does any reviews these days, almost turned into a "Let's play" channel.

[@KCLovesKicks]

Quemical83 it's just the fact that his reviews take a lot of time for him to make and he also has a social life. He does the reviews when he's able to and they are always very truthful reviews.

[@MrChambers]

I miss this channel man

[@thetramp123]

Same here. One of the few game relating channels I liked to watch consistently.

[@AntoineBandele]

Damn I preferred you guys over IGN and Gamespot.

[@yamcha111]

Better than ign and GameStop...... Wow!

[@SlowMoImpact]

lol u mean gamespot b

[@2Ensta]

ItsJR516 Honestly is there a difference? They are both slaves to the corporations

[@MaehiyaSOLDIER]

Better than big name sites and hell, they've done more for me than Gamestop too.

[@Blueflag04]

easy allies is actually good

[@RyanGatts]

Thanks for the ride, Rev3. It's been fun. Good luck to Tara and the rest of the Rev3 staff. I look forward to seeing what you do next.

[@TheAbxyGamerHDJr]

The channel is shutting down....

[@MGTarkus]

TheAbxyGamerHD Jr no dip he is saying he would like to know what hapens to there lives in the resolution

[@TheAbxyGamerHDJr]

I know Sherlock I was just saying that because I was sad that it's shutting down.

[@RyanGatts]

TheAbxyGamerHD Jr ezio auditore wow, you guys got sassy fast :P let's all be chill and civil here.

[@MGTarkus]

1 step of being civil is not telli ng others what to do so any further word about civil? i hope not because hypocrissy is a deep hole that very few can get out of

[@AltimaNEO]

I still miss Rev3. Wish the channel kept going

[@rodneywoof]

Adam Sessler is like the show host of death. Every time he leave's, the show dies.

[@ParodyAccount_]

Because the show is/was shit without him lol.

[@mauszx]

To be fair, after Adam left rev3 they didn't even try to make the channel as it was used to, so it was obvious that this was going to happen.

[@OldSchoolDudeGaming]

Adam just knows when to leave.

[@CanYouResistClick1ng]

Rodney McMillan I will admit, I was one of the people who unsubbed this channel after finding out Adam Sessler left..

[@JJAB91]

Rodney McMillan And then he went full SJW. What the fuck happened to him?

[@Learned_English_Dog]

I can't help but wishfully envision a parallel universe where people aren't needlessly shitty to one another on the internet. A parallel universe where Adam wasn't inundated by shitheads and never left the industry. In that universe, maybe Rev3 would still be around. Or maybe I'm naive to assume this would have changed the fate of the channel at all, but as I said... It's wishful. Good luck on your journeys, guys. There's a serious fucking void in my life now, I mean that.

[@mekaelbayati8040]

i don't know if it is just me but so many youtube channels have gone off the radar now

[@3vilSuperman]

mekael bayati Wonder if youtubes policies are to blame. It seemed like youtube was becoming better then TV and then Google decided to kill it with bad policy.

[@PostgodAfterbirth]

JOn DHo U depressed bro?

[@Learned_English_Dog]

JOn DHo I think the word in my comment that should be stressed is "inundated." Adam was no simpleton, he knew how the internet worked. But it was the sheer volume of awfulness, along with his wife being targeted, that forced him out. And I won't blame him for that. I can't even imagine the kind of bullshit prominent personalities on the web have to put up with.

[@TheBLT883]

BakehousePictures yea this gaming community is really really toxic, specifically this new 8th Gen. ever since the new consoles came out it's like a swarm of assholes joined the community :(

[@thebugsy7633]

Anyone still peeping this channel in 2019? Haha

[@XxBakerxX72]

Nah, 2020 How was this 5 years ago

[@miltbottleboy]

2020 games media isn't the same. But such is life. Rev 3 was special

[@vyse102]

I am, May 2020. It's odd to go back through my subscriptions and find dead channels like this that I'd forgotten about, but some had such immense impacts on my childhood/adolescence.

[@linxstorm]

Man I miss Adam Sessler. Been watching him since Extended Play

[@sentaiaddict]

@@linxstorm Me too Bro. It was called Gamespot TV at first.

[@MrSiloterio]

just a 2019 comment passing through.. miss this channel so much

[@RobDeMillo]

Tara - this was great. (Nick, you too.) Great work from both you and everyone else at +Rev3Games - so many greatnesses came out of that channel. Please take care everyone over there!

[@biogeniclife]

[@Clesarie]

Anthony what the hell have you been up too. I swear so many good people on this show its a shame you're all separated I mean the writing was on the wall then everyone was bailing out but I really miss the glory days when everyone was there.

[@Hijynx87]

Build it and they will come.

[@stratisfire]

i felt bad, unti i saw that tweet claiming gamergate is about a war on women. Lying about your fans and acusing them of things that are jsut flat out UNTRUE is what got you people in this possition. Are your heads really that far up your asses that you can't see that when your professionalism is questioned, calling your accusers misogynists woman haters that are all straight white men on a crusade to hate women and push them out of the industry rather then just addressing the actual issues and pretending it's something it clearly isn't might make people not want to support you? I've been a big fan of you folks, but just seeing you jump on the hate wagon and LYING about what's really happening in the gamergate movement is just disgusting. Good riddance.

[@Envy987001]

Misnomer W Gamergate is a consumer revolt, the entire hashtag can't be attributed by the actions of some people, when the core principles are the most pushed topic, which are the corruption in games journalism. Why didn't Tara do any research (if she did make a tweet against Gamergate) about Zoe Quinn sabotaging the "Fine Young Capitalist", and then thank gamergate for donating over $25 000 dollars to assist them in their endeavor? Why does no one talk about the hate and harassment David Pakman is getting for being neutral and providing a floor for everyone to speak equally, which by the way the harassment is from anti-GG. There are so many things wrong going on on the anti side that holds far more power than anyone pro-GG. Rev3 had no part in these controversies, and to be honest i'm not that sad to see them go, but if I had a hand in the matter I would still stick up for them.

[@stratisfire]

Dewster Hobnobbington I'm sorry that i don't feel that people who basically asked to lose their jobs don't deserve any sympathy. I honestly couldn't care less what happens to her after that tweet, and i feel my fellow viewers deserve to know what she said imediately after making this "hearfelt" video to her "misogynist woman hating gamer scum" fans that are supposedly "raging a war on women" rather then asking for journalistic integrity.

[@Draftgon]

Misnomer W Well what should people do? A new hashtag wont stop trolls to follow. But I can see that twitter is probably the worst place to discuss something like gamergate, yet (both sides) are stupid enough to engage most of the debate there.

[@SladeX2000]

Dewster Hobnobbington It's their own fault, as Stratifire pointed out. If you think you can insult your audience and keep your job(and you're not a comedian), you're an idiot. Sessler especially after approving of a black man that started #notyourshield being fired after these "journalists"(who if you haven't noticed are a VAST majority white, while saying their for diversity and inclusiveness) said they were speaking for women and minorities. Simply put, fuck them. PS: and let's not forget Sessler's little tirade about "misogyny" after he misinterpreted the "Bros before Hoes" Trophy in God of War(an achievement created and named by a women btw).

[@SilverSlayer23]

Misnomer W I'm sorry. But you might need to watch this. There are plenty of other videos as well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3SoqYufmpaLeJY

[@grahamh]

Tara, this was awesome. I thoroughly enjoyed working with you and everyone at Rev3Games in the early days and at those first Rev3Games trips to E3 and PAX. All the best to you! Onwards and upwards!

[@MrSiloterio]

Still miss this channel in 2022. Hands down the only channel to give me joy back in 2013 to 2014. Good thing Adam's back in g4 now, but this channel still is the best for me.

[@superrugby2]

This was the best gaming review and discussion channel ever. I couldn't wait to see their content daily. It broke my heart to see them go.

[@SOGCollection]

I agree.. this was about the only Media Outlet I felt I could trust. I liked all the staff as well. It's a shame to see this channel end.

[@jacobleaver2450]

They should of done a shot at the end where it's just a zoom out of the office. And Tara is just sitting at her desk alone in the office. And as the camera pans out she starts to pack her things and gets up from her desk. And before she leaves the door she turns around and just gives a faint wave to the office and all the great memories she had. Then the camera just sits there for about 20 seconds of just sitting there looking at the once filled office. Then the lights turn off and the camera does a slow transition into darkness but you can still hear the faint sound of the air conditioner humming. Then that too turns off. Would have been pretty sweet

[@ncanders47]

I have a lot of respect for Tara. She never played into the "quirky Internet personality", the "lol I'm a gamer look at my Zelda poster", or the "cute g4mer g1rl" attitudes that many youtubers (both male and female) use. She always seemed like a real person with a real interest and real opinions on games. I always held her opinions and views on a much higher level than most other game journalists and she was my favorite person on Rev3. I hope to see her in future projects!

Didn't think the tears would be flowing this hard. Not everyday your favorite KZbin channel shuts down, but, hey, let's look at the bright side. 1 less great channel that the gaming industry can corrupt.

[@thisscreensucks]

......you realize the industry IS the sites like this. i think a lot of people see corruption that isnt there. not that there isnt any, but people see it where it isnt.

[@merrickx]

thisscreensucks I guess it would have been more appropriate as a, "die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain," way of putting it.

[@thisscreensucks]

Jovial Blubber i guess. still assumes a level of corruption that probably doesnt exist.

[@spiderlee123]

thisscreensucks Yeah, I meant like they were never bought out by a game company to give their game a good review, and they were always against that. Like Jovial Blubber It's a "die a hero" sort of way.

[@thisscreensucks]

Sam Gibson being paid for reviews basically never happens. im sure it has happened, but its not common like everyone seems to assume.

[@freekeefox]

This shutdown had better not because of fucking gaters.

[@wowcrazy70]

What's that?

[@WarMomPT]

wowcrazy70 'Gamergaters', a group ostensibly concerned about ethics in games journalism, which is something to be concerned about, but the movement started as a harrassment campaign against an independent developer due to accusations of sleeping with journalists for positive reviews. None of those reviews were actually ever written, the affair started AFTER all of said journalist's coverage of the game, and the harrassment targeted the independent developer, and not the journalist.

[@nadeau]

PoliteTimesplitter Gamergeters are people who want actual journalism. The harassment is pure bullshit. People disagreeing with you is not harassment. If you can't win the argument you call people bigots and say you are threaten. It happens all the time.

[@LocalContentShow]

it almost certainly didn't, so don't worry.

[@WarMomPT]

So sad... That slide show brought tears to my eyes. You guys were the first critical video outlet for videogames / new media i started to watch out of college. The discussions elevated videogames imo to something that could be art or culturally significant. It is amazing the talent rev3 collected over the years. I still follow many old hosts and producers. I wish you the best Tara and production crew my youtube subscription list feels hallow and vapid without you.

I must admit, I got a little choked up at the end. Watching the group shots get smaller and smaller over time, until only a few remained, that was absolutely heartbreaking. I loved Rev3Games and everything you guys did. Best of luck to all of you on your future endeavors.

[@Emelenzia]

I will definitely miss you Tara. Like many Sessler drew me into the channel but I quickly learned that Tara was even greater star then Adam. She brought professionalism, hard work, and charisma to anything she worked on. I know Adam's reviews got a lot of attention but for me, what I truly looked forward to a hand made Tara review. Honestly I don't watch reviews because I am interested in the game. More so its like a mental feat of cataloging a game into all these points. Its something I do privately and I love watching others do it publicly. And for me Tara crafted some of the most enjoyable reviews for me. The perfect juggling of objective and subjective perspective and bundling it in such a perfect way. I am sorry that reviews became unpleasant with the increasing toxicity of the channel comments but I loved and appreciate every review you ever did on this channel. Best of luck to you and hope to see you soon in greater and more awesome opportunities.

[@Emelenzia]

TheAbxyGamerHD Jr Indeed, the video very much communicated as such.

[@Emelenzia]

Sean Khu I would think most people on Rev3 Team would largely agree with that as well. Even I freely admit I came for Sessler. But As I mention I found much more appretiation with Tara then I did with Sessler. Adam was a Icon, Tara was and still is a professional. I respect both for very different reasons.

Thank you Tara, and everyone at Rev3Games. You guys were and are awesome. I don't normally pay attention to game reviews, but I would watch almost every single one of your guys', even if I didn't know a whole lot about the game you guys were reviewing. Plus, all of you seem so nice, genuine, and passionate about what you do. I went to the Rev3Games panel at PAX 2013, and it was one of my favorite panels that year -- y'all were hilarious and I had a blast. Then it was surreal and amazing to meet you briefly face to face when I stood next to you in line at this year's PAX while waiting for a panel with Max and Anthony. You were SO nice, and even though I was awkward and didn't know what to say other than "I watch and love your videos!" the way you took the time to talk and even ended up sitting with my friend and I after meant a whole lot. I can't wait to see what you and everyone eles at Rev3Games do next!

[@Stumbe]

First time commenting. Thanks Tara for everything you've done during all these years. Destructoid show with you and Max was the first show of it's kind I started to watch regularily. There has been no comparison yo your guys' chemistry. Sad to see you doing this video. Hope that you still get to do something you love, even if it's not for the industry, which doesn't seen like a very good place to be at the moment. Gonna miss ya. Peace, love, brapp brapp, Pegasus away, money in the bank and all that jazz...crossovers.

[@MrSiloterio]

Still missing this channel. Sending love from 2021!

[@NewCanadianTurtle]

I have to be honest, I didn't really subscribe to these guys for a long time. But watching this video, seeing Tara like this, she looks like she's about to just break down in tears. I don't know, maybe it's just me. I do feel bad for these guys, it's hard coping with the fact that you've lost your job/source of income. But I'm sure these guys will find something new, they're talented after all

[@demodred]

Rev3 was a sinking ship but Tara will make it to better things as a result. Sometimes leaving a job is the best thing that can happen to you.

[@isirlaughsalot2675]

I'm so sorry, but I'm done. I subbed to Rev3 because of Adam, but since he left, I was having doubts. But when I saw that Nick and Tara were staying, I had hope. I sticked with it, and felt rewarded in the end. They were fitting replacements. But now that they are BOTH gone, I have no reason to be subbed anymore. I have no connection and no liking of ANY of the other newbies, and now that Rev3 is being headed by very inexperienced journalists, I can tell it won't do well. Also, Discovery is leaving them, so I don't even know if they're going to exist anymore. So I guess this is goodbye Rev3Games, it was a great ride.

[@Talal_111]

Did you watch the video? Rev3 is shutting down..

[@isirlaughsalot2675]

Talal 86 Ok ok no need to be pushy. I suspected as much. I wish the best of luck to the staff for finding new jobs.

[@Lumenadducere]

Did you even bother to watch before commenting? Rev3 is shutting down. So saying "oh they're gone I'm unsubbing" is pointless because there isn't anything to be subbed to anymore. Jesus, it's like everyone here just immediately leaps to the comments to say something without bothering to actually watch or listen to the videos.

[@KenLaSalle]

Tara, In all honesty, it was Adam who brought me to subscribe to Rev3 but it was you who kept me watching long after he left. You are much more than just a pretty face and I appreciate all the time and effort you and your fellow Rev3ers put into this endeavor. I suppose, on the upside, I know have a reason to follow some of you fine folk on Twitter! Wishing you nothing but the best moving forward.

lets be honest it all gone to shit after Destructoid the weekly show shutdown.

[@elhund]

Same here, when Rev3games and destructoid was at their peak with Tara and Max hosting the destructoid show it was truly a sight to behold. But it just went downhill after that, It was truly painful to watch.

[@frickthefuckoff]

WHAT THE FUCK I was gonna stay if Tara at least stayed, but what happens? A video is posted of her leaving too. Yep. This channel is dead to me.

[@Freezenification]

Did you even watch the video before commenting? The entire channel is shutting down dude, it's dead to everyone.

[@frickthefuckoff]

[@frickthefuckoff]

***** I actually thought it was on mass firing mode. Well, hope they can get jobs.

[@KaliceBrunel]

Ugh where the fuck am I supposed to get gaming news now? The only other reputable site in my eyes is dtoid, and I prefer things in video form.

[@keitht24]

It was probably Sessler's departure that spelled the beginning of the end for Rev3games.

[@TheGamingDandy]

Tara and Nick were the only 2 people I ever saw in videos anyway, so the channel has pretty much been dead for awhile. I think it's a bad idea that Discovery shut down the channel though. If they had just dedicated more resources to putting out more content that people wanted to see, and hired a few more fresh faces then this channel would still been a success, even when Sessler left. I mean come on, video game channels pretty much rule KZbin right now. Seems like a silly decision to me.

[@TheGamingDandy]

Then again, maybe Sessler left because Discovery was dicking them around so much and he wanted more autonomy. There was a time when there was like 7 new shows coming out, and then they made a few episodes of those shows and then dropped them. Like the Internet wormhole, or whatever that was called.

[@TheZENbros]

Was Discovery running Rev3? I had no idea. .__.

[@exyiaevox]

TheZENbros if you look around, Rev3 seems to have their hands in tons of different things/topics.....kind of in a bad taste kind of way to me. I definitely think it had a huge factor in the content and end of this channel.

[@PHeMoX]

***** Which is exactly why I think the channel (and it's active members/employees) has lost it's honesty and innocence essentially several years ago. I wasn't able to take them seriously for a very long time now. Dodgy reviews, strange opinions, generally being very apologetic about when a developer fails. I'm also not sure what Adam's reputation really was based upon when he started to pop up in this show, because in earlier days he wasn't quite the honest type when it came to games. It's difficult to really prove, so do not take my word for it, but I'm fairly sure he's had his days of being way more positive about a game than he should (or even wanted) to be, because of clicks, views and ad revenues to a channel and website. I can't believe for a second they were somehow as independent as they seem to claim. I know how opinions tend to be very subjective, but they rarely were critical about specific things. Things seemingly ignored.

[@darqjade]

This is the same awful feeling I had, when XPlay went the way of the dinosaur. I feel like I'm saying goodbye to a friend. Good luck to Tara and Nick and to everyone else who made Rev3 amazing and I hope you guys are back at it, in one way or another, soon. All the best!

[@MrMatrixman92]

"shit, well at least Tara is still there" *goes back on youtube* "what the fuck man..." Did something happen over at Rev3 that made everyone leave?

[@yamcha111]

Watch the video and u might find out.......

[@Diotialate]

YUP.

[@MrMatrixman92]

***** what? all Tara said was you might have been noticing changes to the staff.

[@yamcha111]

MrMatrixman92 "here today to announce that rev3games is officially shutting down" . Jesus christ.....

[@MrMatrixman92]

***** yeah, I am asking why. Rev3 is probably closing because majority left. Why did everyone leave in the first place?

[@SawBlood45]

You guys were different, my favorite. Over IGN, Gametrailers, the whole list. Your casual fridays and coffee talks really showed how legit the crew was and how you guys are one of us. It's been a sad week having to say goodbye to Wayne Static and now this. That's why years ago I realized it was important to just stop and appreciate the good times while they were still rolling. The times when you had the security of knowing there would be a next time. Good luck everyone, hope to see you around soon, bringing your qualities to the table. Gaming is about to be a hell of a ride. Would love to see you in the front seat.

[@caleb180]

This channel went into a death spiral when Adam left, this is just the final nail.

[@stulttus3993]

Just cam here to remember the good ol' days, good times!

[@ngreatshark]

Man, this sucks, you guys did a great job and I'm going to mis Rev3 games. This is going to leave a huge void in my online video game journalism consumption, because it was pretty much this and IGN for me, and this was way more credible and comprehensive

[@ngreatshark]

I'm really going to miss casual Fridays, the livestreams, and especially their coverage around E3

[@ColePearl]

ngreatshark Yeah their E3 coverage was the best.

[@Fungorrr]

Serious question - what other good youtube channels are out there in this vein of gaming journalism? I liked Rev3 because they were genuine and didn't feel like they were way up their own asses about anything. They were fun and had good opinions... are there any other channels I could watch that fill this niche? Thanks in advance.

[@eheike]

INSIDE GAMING

[@tmirksy947]

Check out The Grid Gaming, they're new to the world of gaming journalism, but might be something to watch out for.

[@KensanOni]

I enjoy the crew at OutsideXbox

[@Revanythingofficial]

I...yeah this is gonna come off as a plug, but whatever - I started reviewing games because of Rev3 and its awesome staff. I took a break with the recent shit-show but I guess it's time to start writing again.

[@TheMustOnenShow]

I used to "hate" Angry Joe thinking he was just another "character" in the "angry reviewer" fad. After checking his videos out though, I 100% love the guy, he clearly loves and cares about videogames and I'm so happy when he gives tough love to games, he is the most honest reviewer you can get. GiantBomb is always super fun too and I think gamespot has gotten better too.

[@beta5770]

G4 and Rev3 again, ugh.

[@DormammuDawg]

Fuck i miss classic xplay

[@solaro_o]

Rip Rev3games

[@JDKukis]

I'm going to really miss this channel. :( I always loved Rev3Games and it's so sad to see it go. Thank you guys for entertaining me for the many years I have been watching.

[@Cuzinits]

Why not just make one video titled Goodbye Rev3Games? (Edit: Watched video...Really is shutting down. Was fun while it lasted...)(2nd Edit: Watched montage... :( )

[@JackRoseYT]

True. Most good people have left...

[@augamr]

They might need the revenue!

[@ReptilesBlade]

I feel so sorry for Tara. You can tell she is barely holding back the tears. I really hope she goes on to bigger and better things.

[@Bfr3shBrian]

This is sad news indeed, I've been here since the DTOID show and I will miss your awesome personalities, thanks for the great content and I hope this is not the last we see of you guys. Take care and good luck T-bird

[@AllieRX]

It's a shame that this channel is shutting down. It was a pretty good gaming channel.

[@samuraigundam0079]

God damn it! Are you kidding me? Where are you Adam? Where are you Great Pumpkin? This actually makes me feel depressed. There is a total lack of good, honest, smart people in the realm of game journalism, and Adam, Tara and co. were some of the few in that league. I hope Scoville isn't next. Someone with a large bankroll, do something about this!

[@desmondlogan9262]

Those people with large bankrolls are the game publishers and they want you to suck their games' dicks.

[@DiggyDots]

Just came back to this channel, I had forgot it shut down and needless to say it was rather upsetting to be reminded of the tragedy and loss we all faced with the end of the beautiful channel that was Rev3Games.

[@BRAINDAWG1O1]

2020 and we still miss y'all. There was quality content and better people here.

[@rushnerd]

okay so I subbed for Sessler, RIP, now two more are gone? yeah I don't care anymore, good ride.

[@phant0mdummy]

The one I fantasize about is leaving. No moar rub naow. Rev3dead5me.

[@willl.2423]

You realize that they're shutting down right? I mean, it's in the first 30 seconds of the video...

[@rushnerd]

Billie Gene oops, rip

[@Shot1608]

Color Bars omg, you're here

[@Duhya]

Billie Gene "Your fired!" "NO I QUIT!"

[@AmazingJoe96]

i had completly forgot scott bromley was even a thing

[@thoyo]

i know! his show was great. didn't even realize the variety of great quality content that came out of this one channel until the retrospective montage started rolling. it's too bad a good channel has to fall by the wayside and others get to keep flourishing.. così è la vita :/

[@carljthatsme94]

The Comedy Button says hi

[@IAmAleksha]

I really much enjoyed this channel and I'm devastated to hear of its closing. You all did amazing work to produce high quality videos that were well opinionated and thought provoking. I'm sure you'll go on to do incredible things Tara and the rest of Rev3.

[@jessem138]

So...about Adam: personally (and I know I can't be alone on this), I always thought this channel stood on its own merits long before Adam was a part of it. Unfortunately, a good portion of your viewers constantly try to make it all about him even after he was gone, openly disregarding the rest of you and your contributions. I subbed to this channel early on because of Tara, Max, Anthony, and later Nick. Adam was a nice bonus for a while, but he wasn't the main reason I watched this channel for so long. All in all, I don't think you guys at Rev3 give yourselves enough credit.

[@farrago6881]

I second that!

[@JungleScene]

same, I subbed to this channel when it was max and anthony and tara.... I stopped watching shortly after max was gone..

[@BullseyeRey]

horrorpunx Maybe not for you, but like Tara said, Adam joining was what made the channel get noticed. So you can't deny Adam certainly helped.

[@jtbrig7390]

May everyone at Rev3Games have a great future you will be missed. Good luck in your future endeavors.

[@dishwater63]

Conglaturation !!! You have completed a great game. And proved the justice of our culture. Now go and rest our heroes !

[@Downhuman74]

It's funny hearing someone talk about Sessler with such reverence in 2023 when he's publicly become one of the most miserable and unlikable people on the planet. Still, I miss Rev3. I miss the Destructoid show. When they were gone, it definitely felt like the end of an era. Can't believe it's been 8 years.

[@GustavoDiSalvo]

Years later and nothing came even close to the great Destructoid Show with Tara and Max. I miss you guys :(

[@thezionsoho]

Not to down anyone else in Rev3 but Adam was the reason I subbed and without Adam I just lost all interest. What happened in his situation was a damn shame but I think Rev3 and his fans deserved better than a silent disappearance. He shouldve kept on keeping on and if not at the very LEAST given us a proper goodbye like this vid. Thank you for all your hard work, I enjoyed Rev 3 and commend you on a job well done!

[@Twinson1]

It was a great channel. :) Thanks for all your hard work over the years.

[@LucyPero]

This is so sad. I really loved to listen at what you guys thought about certain games or certain topics related to the industry. It's such a shame it had to end. I'm so sorry... All I can say now is: Best of luck to all of you, and thank you so much for all the content you've all created. I really enjoyed it.

[@xilyria]

Coming In at the end of 2020 lol miss this channel. Can't believe it's been 6 years...

[@NotesnFlow]

Thank you, Ms. Long, for the awesome reviews, interviews, and other content you have provided us pertaining to video games and other affiliated media. You have honestly done so much for establishing Rev3Games to be the channel it is now on KZbin and I admire you passion and dedication to videogame journalism. No one can ever replace you and the legacy you have left behind is a great one for video game journalists present and future to follow. Honestly all the best in your future endeavours.

[@CoolSmek]

I miss this channel, too bad.

[@sylvianraccoon]

Forever on this channel. Remember what you have done

[@MrSiloterio]

still visiting this channel in 2023. your content is timeless 😪

[@andrew-zf3ok]

Still missing you guys in 2018

[@jakejakeboom]

God damn I miss this channel, haven't found a replacement.

[@Whatthetrash]

Just came back to watch this again. I miss Rev3Games. Great stuff, man. :(

[@MrSiloterio]

+Mike Crichlow Me too man. Just kept on coming back and watching their old let's plays. I miss them so much. Especially Adam and Anthony.

[@Gboy4001]

The ending song is a video game version of Claire De Lune for anyone looking it up. Good bless you all for coming back in 2021

[@robinhooduk8255]

to be honest, rev3games grew so fast with sessler onboard that when he left, there was a gaping hole that cannot be filled. its a good lesson in how not to grow a channel and following. i think if sessler was never at rev3 then they would have grown in a more settled measure, slowly growing and finding a voice for themselves.

[@Renegade322]

Besides Adam and Max, Tara has always been by far my favorite person on Rev3 Sometimes I disagreed with her opinions, but I respected how she stated it and went into detail I really hope she is able to find someplace asap

[@MSpilot008]

I'm watching this in 2016 again damnit :(

[@Drupee]

I miss Tara.

[@Niko-br9ql]

2019?

[@LordLOC]

Thanks for all the laughs and smiles Tara. As I've been following you (and Max etc) since the beginning it's really sad to see you guys leaving like this. I really, really hope someone like Giantbomb or IGN pick you up Tara. Gamespot even, though they are having their own problems now. Still, good luck with your future Tara, and go kick Max in the balls again!

[@AuspexAO]

Tara would be a great fit for Giant Bomb, actually. That's a good suggestion.

[@LordLOC]

EmilioEG87 Ugh, that sucks if she's finished in the industry. I really like her. She's smart and funny and she's not some smarmy know it all like some people come off as in the industry.

[@fightttttt]

She does Test Tube and Dnews if you miss her that much. ForceFeed and mmobomb are the best gaming news on youtube

[@LordLOC]

fightttttt She's leaving Discovery completely. No more TT or DNews either.

[@fightttttt]

Lord LOC o she said that on twitter or something? Didnt see a video about it

[@JetSetDex]

Damn, I'm sorry to see it go. Good luck in all your future endeavors guys.

[@doriphor]

I'm still subscribed and it'll stay that way! Miss you guys!

[@IAmBeastlyDylan]

Honestly, other game review channels just don't even compare. Almost a year later and I still occasionally visit the channel just to remind my self that we lost one hell of a channel. Thanks for all your helpful reviews and I hope you guys have found great success in whatever you are currently pursuing. Still thinking of you, RIP Rev3games.

[@TheJimmyStruther]

Press F to pay your respects to Rev3games

[@MegaBusterDude]

"Conglaturation!!! You have completed a great game." "And prooved the justice of our great culture." "Now go and rest our heroes!"

[@CHANBIBBIN]

It is New Years 2023 and god damn I miss this channel

[@sharfers]

Farewell, Rev3Games. My renewed interest in video games over the past couple of years is largely attributable to you guys, and you'll hold a special place to me.

[@GusMashensic]

RIP, one of the last of the good video game channels.
