Update Vlog is up!

Hi all, 

We just posted a Vlog to talk about the things we've been reflecting on since we went on our vacation. We got a little emotional, but I just want to underscore how important your support has been to us.

We're going to have a new video up next week! 


Thanks,


Grace

Derek. This got me so choked up too. I've never had the chance to meet you, but I'm honest when I say that you've truly help mold a part of my identity, something that I will always cherish. I've been watching your videos since I was 13 (the first cut of Earthbound was my first, so 2009?) and now I'm 23 and finishing up college. I got my first NES from a thrift store and have been an avid retro gamer, collector, and musician ever since. You were one of the first guys I really got into on Youtube. Your style, goofs, and passion really captivated me and still has to this day. You got me into Fall of Troy and I can't tell you how many times I've rewatched your reviews out of the sheer nostalgia and comfort they give me. Hell, I too was going through a massive depressive episode filled with suicidal thoughts, but your DVDs kept me sane and shed some light on the darkness (I feel much better now btw). Your music also inspires me and I can't tell you how many times I've had Ruby Dagger on repeat, I even made a bass cover of Crystal Gods. I've even made friends out of the sheer fact that we both follow your work. You still are the first and only person I've patroned and you wouldn't believe how fast I was ready to donate to your cause. Anyways, I could go on, but just know that I am so grateful for all the entertainment and good times you've given me and I'm so happy to see you finally receive more recognition. I think a lot of people don't know the extent of your impact and influence on this community and it's been a fun ride thus far. I hope when the day comes where they give college lectures on the history of youtube game reviewers, Derek Alexander is in the textbooks. Tell Calvin thanks as well, you two are a big reason I have the sense of humor I have to this day. From a loyal fan and a man who made a choice, I send you my love and I hope to meet you in person someday to give you and Grace a big ol hug <3 Pos Vibes, Anton :)

Derek I've been following your stuff for a long-ass time (I remember you mentioning you were 25 in a Totally Random Podcast episode and that wasn't even my first exposure to you) and I just wanna state: well earned and well done! Here's to the subscribers and years to come.

'grats, you two!

Congrats you two! I'm proud to be a patron of one of my favorite YouTube channels of all time. For me, it all started when I was watching AVGN, then I found Eric Lappe's Castlevania 2 response review, then when he became part of Retroware I found the HVGN there, and I've been a fan ever since. Quite a journey indeed!

Uncle Derek, I can't stand to watch you tear up. You've been one of my favorite shows on YouTube since I started watching sometime in 2010. While I also support some other creators, I started using Patreon just to back you. Keep up the hard work, stay in the no-chump zone, don't be a jabroni, and come back to MAGFest some time, I miss your face.

Congratulations! You guys deserve this and more. I've been watching your videos since the Capcom/Disney NES games and I am so glad to see how far you have come along.
