[@Xem92]

Means the world, man. I hope this video shows people that, this time around, I'm giving it 100% Wanna hopefully inspire some people to do the same along the way

[@FireStriker_]

Joe pulled some similar shit on me when I tried to learn Nexus back in 2020. He gatekept the WR on the Leaderboard and when asking about his guide all I got from the guy was "you must find your own path, and 'learn how to learn' as my ancestors did. no good time is given for free" Im glad you took the WR away from Joe

[@FloridaWolf328]

Xem, I've been following you for the last few years. You're not just an amazing runner, but an amazing person too. I'm glad things are going well between you and Joe and thankful that this friendly competition didn't turn into anything sour. Competition is good, but winning isn't everything. Stay safe and have fun Xem and Joe!

[@MajkTio]

WOW this editing is amazing! i also love the structure of the video and your storytelling, what a transition!!!

[@Emerldd]

YO this video is so SICK! Great editing and really good storytelling! Cant wait to see more!

[@Xem92]

Thanks so much Emerldd! I really appreciate you inviting me to the group. I've been lurking and learning a lot from you guys, and I'll definitely be around again to help share what I've learned.

[@Emerldd]

Looking forward to it homie 🥳

[@SolutionJW]

The new era is here! Hope to pop into the stream to talk about the vid soon. Initial impression has me excited for the future though!

[@Jesterhead971]

Such a pleasure to see that you´re back! One can see your improvement from the first second.

[@callumwardle2118]

LOVING the high production value! Amazing video, cant wait to see more like this!

[@tristanfoley1515]

I respect you so much Xem I’ve been with you for 4-5 years man it’s been a great time best of luck to you dude. It’s foley

[@DoctorSwellman]

The fast paced editing is so damn good. It made the vid go by so fast. I may not beat you to 100k if you keep this up lmao 😅

[@lyrdinn6185]

Nice to see your videos again, love what you make and I'm excited for what's to come !

[@magnithorbjornsson5180]

Very engaging and snappy. A fun watch even if I already knew the story from watching the stream. If you keep this up I have no doubt you'll hit 100k by the end of the year.

[@Seraphim1313yt]

Amazing video! I rarely find myself watching the whole video but I was drawn in. Nice work Xem!

[@Vuurheer]

Very good video!! The journey has offically started and we all are excited!!

[@saladpuncher8436]

Was just playing hotline miami barely 10 minutes ago, then boom, miami disco starts playing at 4:00, that was funky Great video, top notch from the writing, to the delivery, to the editing! Clearly one of your best work as a content creator, and massive props to the editor as well!

[@set6749]

Xem the video was so good I really think your time off is gonna pay off. You earned my like and I was already subscribed. Also can't wait for your first Raid Shadow Legends sponsorship, that'll be a big day.

[@erikafekenstam7126]

Great video xem! I can see that you've learned a ton!

[@TheThe-1326]

Rating this Joe/10. Amazing work and like the style of your video and comeback. GG king and keep it up

Glad to have you posting again, see you're back with a vengance. It was great to catch the premiere live!

"Me, Xem92, an otherwise normal person" really just sets the tone for the rest of the video doesn't it. Quality content as per usual, I dig this format btw! :]

[@mrcarlosn00b]

MrCarlosnoob here: I am very proud of you xem, since I met you in August 2017 I have not stopped watching your content and you have never disappointed me. I hope that this new approach that you have given to your channel catapults you towards success, remember that the gasoline of the engine is hard work and perseverance. You are the only one that can set the limit, nobody will ever have the right to tell you how far you can go, and those of us who have known you for so long know that you can go much higher. We love you and we will always be here supporting you. A huge greeting from a faithful follower of yours, and luckily, for some time now, friend of yours.

[@raymondevans9474]

Xem I’ve been watching your content for a couple years now I started on KZbin and now watch your streams regularly, I hope this KZbin reboot is the best thing you’re even going to do.

[@lukeneill698]

love it xem hope this pops off x

[@HellaParadoxial]

really enjoyed this video, such good quality - nice one xem! been watching your streams since 2018 albeit on a different account for two of those; always great to see you do what you do best, and best of luck with future yt content!

[@maidez3533]

Love the mix of calm storytelling mixed with fast editing!

[@Staradder22]

Absolutely love the new video and the format that comes with it! You've come so far and I can't wait to see where you'll go.

[@Admiralzzz_]

Glad you uploaded Xem! Great to see new content :D

[@CjhCarter]

Banger of a video! Also welcome back

[@mannygarcia3217]

I got into Speedrunning videos watching Xem 2 years ago. I came across your content while trying to replay one of my childhood games ( Rac Trilogy ) and been watching most of your content ever since. Great videos Brother 🤘🏼 Very underrated channel for the Awesome content you put out, you’re one of the few that genuinely enjoy what you do and I’m looking forward to you getting that 100k subs!

[@ItsJabo]

The return of the king!

[@Dockaboo811]

Very well edited, my monkey brain and its miniscule attention span are very pleased with this one

[@Disevolution]

What a strong first video from your comeback. Cant wait to see your next uploads from you Xem

[@zackzaktm2758]

Great content, Xem! (and editor Zesky!) Loved every minute :) Good luck to Joe!

[@JustCyanaid]

Return of the king! This is a really well made video, and I’m so excited to see what you guys have planned for the future

[@dt3dt]

Congrats for the jump in quality xem, can't wait to see what's to come

[@baseball-qb1ug]

Great video, Xem and Zesky! Seems like a very promising start and I'm definitely excited to see more from you guys. Glad everything worked out in the end too. P.S. Hi Chat if this ends up on stream.

[@benziewalker5392]

Absolute BANGER of a video dude. Really excited for what you have planned for content creation! Can't wait to continue to watch you grow :)

[@sheaduty8023]

Great video Xem! You're gonna be huge on youtube if you keep this quality up

[@Torpadorp]

Joe hid their booty so you went into their nether regions 😳

[@Chaos2092]

Now this is some quality content. Knocked this style of video out of the park, and it being a personal journey sets it apart. Keep these coming!

[@colgino16]

Glad to see you back Xem

[@GanryuX]

Hey Xem great new video can't wait to see this new youtube arc in your career. Love the quick but intense approach but I think the part between 8:10 and 9 minutes deserves a more intense background music since you're not talking in it. Otherwise it feels a little long. But great video overall, congrats to you and to ZeaskyWheat. Really hyped for the following videos!

[@AlmostNormalNL]

Great editing, taking speedrunning to the next level! This is AWESOME!

[@OmegaApexGames]

Glad to see the comeback video, I loved the format and hope to see some more bangers come out soon!

[@raphaelfrank5337]

That is legitimately a very good comeback video :)

[@theoctopus5308]

2:30 nice Duelest of the Roses music me boi!

[@JadedDarkness]

Great comeback video! I really enjoyed the editing style too

[@99Xero]

Man, I can't wait for the end of the year cuz these are the type of videos I love to binge at night, so there'll be plenty by then!

[@johnscade]

These are better than the one take videos imo. Keep it up.

[@sender1996]

awesome content my dude

elite video. really enjoyed the style of editing and can't wait for what the future holds. Enjoying the streams and vids Xem!

[@xsaphy9653]

Kinda liking the new style of this video. Keep up the great work buddy, good luck

[@skyartisan8873]

Enjoyed the vid :) gave it another watch after the watch party proud of you and ZeskyWheat for all the effort, can tell it's a new beginning for your channel almost a couple years ago now i think(?) when i discovered your streams i wasn't even into speedrunning and knew close to nothing about it, just a longtime R&C fan but i've been enjoying watching what people can do. Truly wack anyway bit of a rambly comment just wanted to show my support and best of luck to you Xem, you have a wonderful supportive community from what i've seen and are not afraid to try new things, it's been a pleasure being part of your audience.

[@lichlance518]

Great video Xem! It's so energetic! Also really great edits Zesky

[@ajitpai7970]

Love this Xem! Awesome work love to see you enjoying what you’re doing!

[@jereolin]

Continue like this and you'll hit 100k ezpz! :)

[@randomsaloom7238]

I'll be actually honest, when the video started I realized the change and it reminded me of other editors which made me think this video isn't gonna be as good as I thought it would. Literally the ultimate best craftsmanship of a video, the chemistry of u and the editor or however else is very high. Would definitely see another one of these whatever the story could be, also if possible I think it would be a really good idea to make shorts, for short stuff with same editing style.

[@knock2one]

i haven't checked up on your channel in a while but holy damn, this video was just candy to my brain. I loved this, great job!

[@Jishkared]

Finally got around watchin that piece, and I gotta say that I got hooked up real quick. Lookin forward for ur 100k subs. 1st I know you're gonna kill it, 2nd you have my full support

[@isbilen1000]

I've been following the Goldeneye speedrun community for a little bit from afar, and they have this event called "Kapap". It's basically an event where a flood of 'hoarded' runs, be they PBs or WRs are compiled, and released in one marathon video. I think hoarding/hiding can have a fun release, if there is a special event like Kapap, that's accepted by the community. It's everyone together, unlike keeping a record to yourself and releasing it just after a competitor beats what they thought was the current record. I guess it always comes back to mindset and whether you accept it yourself or not.

[@MexicanGan-Q]

Loved this! Really smooth editing and flow to it all - the video really felt like it flew by. All the best going forward - can't wait to see you smash that 100K goal!

[@fishmcfly7070]

I didn't expect such a well made video and this particular topic. I enjoyed it!

[@time4s44]

Ayyyy lets start a new era xem

[@KJShinra]

Welcome back to KZbin Xem the amount of work and research you put in is evident now. Great video, better person.

[@MrPaulOnline]

Hell yeah! I don't have anything constructive to say, but it helps the algorithm. WR, more like Warm Reception to 100K when ya get there

[@Xem92]

I appreciate the love nonetheless

Hey you're back! I got into your channel because RaC2 was my favourite game as a kid, but really I'm happy watching you play whatever. Keep it up!

[@KongSiXin]

You got me into speed running! Glad to see new content. Love your journey !

Don’t worry, I’ll make an actual comment after I see this, so sorry for that yall. Also, hi twitch chat (only chads know what I mean) haha. But seriously, you’re a great guy, keep on being awesome xem! Love ya to death, and I’ll always support you even if your uploads take time to make. This is gonna be a great comeback for you, and I can feel it. You’re valid and a good person, and again, I’ll always support ya ❤️

I’ve been subbed for awhile now and I have to say this video is one of your best to date. It’s clear your months of preparation and learning has paid off because this video feels engaging, educational AND entertaining. Let’s hope the KZbin algorithm overlords spread it around

[@Xem92]

Much love, Shadow, although I have to disagree with you I'd say this *is* my best video to date ;)
