Congratulations on 100k man! You definitely deserve it

Congrats on 100k. I found your channel when researching NV stuff. Went out and spent like 8k on NV, lasers, illuminators, mounts and gear then ended up going on only a handful of night hunts over the next year. Spent most of my NV time sitting on my porch in the Dallas burbs staring at coyotes in the open field across the street at 2am.

Marathon 1, & 2, Durandal was such an amazing story. The writing was superb and I still have a collection of all the artwork. I really wish it would be remade with the same care for intelligent writing and sense of wonder. Loved when Durandal captured the Pfhor ship and renamed it "Boomer" - Cheers and Merry Christmas!

I noticed the 'pfh' in Hop's name a while ago and thought it was a long shot (because those letters don't appear in that order often, if at all) and I just dropped my delicious store brand diet soda when I heard it confirmed in the video. We should find the other four or five people who are old enough to have played Marathon on 4 floppy disks on a IIvx and start a LAN game or something.

I recently stumbled across a 9 year old KZread video which was a retrospective review of my favorite video game from my childhood, “Mechwarrior 2”. While watching the video and taking an enjoyable walk down memory lane, I was thinking to myself: “This reviewer is funny, clever, blunt, witty, and… wait a minute… is that Hop?” I don’t use the internets much, mainly because most of it is just obnoxious, and it takes some real degree of talent to get my attention and hold on to it. You sir, have a real talent for making informative and entertaining videos and I am glad that your channel is growing and I hope it continues to do so. Congratulations on the 100k. By the way, I was disappointed with “Ghost Bear’s Legacy” too.

What he was the examined life of gaming I love that channel and I can't believe I've gone full circle to find him again.

I love your Spanish gun vids. I carried a Star PD for 30 years almost as my daily carry. Old eyes and the realization that a light was optimal and arthritis in the hands led me to switch to the M&P 2.0 with rds and tlr1 (switched at the beginning of the plandemic and was fully vested in .45 acp, didn’t even own a 9. What was I thinking?🤷🏼‍♂️) and haven’t looked back. Haven’t even shot a .45 in over a year now. Anyway, congratulations on the milestone.

Man.. thanks for making free content… its both informative and extremely entertaining. I got into firearms in my mid 20’s and you’ve helped me curate my taste in them. Kinda like how Johnny Cash and slipknot helped me fall in love with poetry. Probably Doesn’t make sense to anyone else but it’s special to me. Thanks man.

Been watching you for years now and you are the main reason I started research and purchasing firearms and training, thank you for being who you are and inspiring me!

I'm beyond impressed you got into the actual difficulty to machine picatinny rails. Most peyote don't think about how stuff is made. As a machinist its nice to see people appreciate manufacturability

Seriously I'd read all your articles. Huge fan and I'm not ashamed to admit i come back to watch your reviews regularly.

Completely agree on your take about Nutnfancy. I started watching his content in 2008 when he was one of the only guys really doing thorough gear reviews with a consistent philosophy. He’s definitely quirky/corny, but he paved the way for lots of channels.

Hoplopfheil - Someone who does naughty things with Greek Hoplite bois.

The reality of the public land is extremely understated. The midweat has millions of acres that are awesome for shooting. However they're all private.

We totally need more Q&As, the way you speak and phrase things is like a breath of fresh air. As i like to say, you're one of those people who could talk about paint drying and make it interesting.

I love how he’s a fan of black metal. It was totally out of left field but also at the same time doesn’t surprise me one bit. Time to shoutout the band Grima. One of the cooler sounding black metal bands I’ve listened to. (I dabble in black metal it’s not my primary genre).

Congrats on 100k hop, you're a talented writer; I enjoy your dry humor with a dash of the 'tism.

Happy to see some else got their start off of Nutnfancy. When you released the SPR video you unlocked a core memory for me when you said “Nutnfancy SPR clone. My first AR was a loose copy with the troy alpha rail.

we need much more guntubers with this level of articulation and critical analysis so refreshing :)

Well done hop! Congrats on the 100k. Keep up the good work!

Merry Christmas Hopp and everyone. God bless the world.

Love you brother. Cheers to your continued success.

Hop is completely correct about modernizing the AK. The AK has some good points about it that make it a king in its own realm. But that's it. Take it out of it's territory and you ask yourself "why didn't I just go with X other weapon?"

Cool, thanks and congrats hop

Thanks Hop

Your PTR build video was my introduction to your channel, and I put off watching it for about a week, because I figured it was useless to watch a video on a firearm I am unlikely to ever get up here in Canuckland. Watched it and was hooked in your style. Keep it up! Glad to see you getting more popular, it's deserved.

thank you hop, you're one of the few channels I routinely rewatch vdeos of, always awaiting the next release

this is the best Christmas present I got this year. thanks, Hop.

Really glad to see your channel grow, your content is always entertaining and informative. Probably my favorite stuff to watch. I'm always hyped when I see your stuff get posted Would like to see more Q&A's in the future. Thanks for what you do hop

examined life is a youtube treasure. so glad you made it in the big leagues with this channel. cheers to another 100k

One of my newest fav channels. Good info, articulate delivery and a slight weirdness we all the deserve.

Congrats, Hop!

Love your stuff Hop. It was great just listening to you talk and share your experiences and perspectives. Honestly, thank you.

Your one of the best out there Mr hop. Truly appreciate your content 🙏 especially when am about to spend hard earned money. Your truly a blessing to the community man. Merry Christmas 🎅

Thank you. I, for one, truly appreciate your content.

I live in Oregon. Down with 114!

Happy to hear my question answered! I've always appreciated the analytical nature of your content and I think your answer explains the thus far subconscious reason why I've enjoyed watching the stuff you produce on your own channel more than the stuff you produce for TFB.

Thanks for the great video, hope you're feeling better soon, appreciate the effort it took to make this. You remain my favorite Guntuber for all the reasons you mentioned in this video.

Thanks for all the super useful and practical insight, as some one who is new to all of this it’s super helpful I can always turn to you for help man! Thanks and congrats been here for a while can’t wait till your at 1 million man merry Christmas!

Congrats on 100k, you certainly deserve it .

Gratz on 100k, onward and upward!

You’re awesome hop! You’re my favorite larping operator. You and brass facts do great research and I feel I can trust your opinion

You older videos are awesome! Simply because you are just being you in them, and not worrying about your subscribers. That's how you got more subscribers! Your sarcasm is hilarious and infectious!

I didn't expect this. This is great.

Congrats man, would love if you did these more often

You're the man, Hop. My favorite thing about your channel is just straight up, YOU. So many walking cliches out there the nerdy, witty, dry humor you bring to your content is so much more my style, and go figure, you seem like a pretty cool dude too. Keep it up! Edit: I'm super interested in MDRX SE! Would love to see you review it!

Merry Christmas! You have one of those sarcastically approachable personalities we could all have a beer with. GODSPEED

Best gun channel by far

Congrats Hop. I enjoyed this thoroughly. I count myself among the 200K.

Man, I gotta say. I'm so happy for you! I've gotten heavily into ARs within the past year or so, and your content has been very informative. I also really appreciate your dry sense of humor, as it's similar to my own. I can safely say I've watched 100% of your videos thus far, and they have helped me make some informed decisions on AR-related purchases. Merry Christmas! Keep up the good content. Thank you so much.

Been watching you since Examined Life of Gaming. You inspired me in so many ways of how I do my content

Don't be so modest, Hop, I think that before long you'll have too many subscribers and comments to be able to read and reply as much as you do now. While that would be a bummer, at least (hopefully), it would be of financial benefit to you. Thanks for all the great content, bro.
