Never heard of the guy until now. I am amazed that people who make videos just playing games and talking as they play them are so popular.
it isn't so much that it was just a guy sitting around playing video games and talking during them. The popularity came from a group of guys on youtube commenting and conversing with each other about the hobby in general.
Sort of like a retro roundtable in video form. I think he will get things sorted out tho, his video's about some of the awesome finds at random Japanese game shops are truly interesting, so I hope he comes back after taking a break.
