Hey Moose,
I've been subscribed for a long time now, couldn't tell you how many years it's been, but since the Myst, Pajama Sam, and Bad Rats days. I was a kid back then- the internet was nothing but a sprawling portal of endless information and human experience. Your commentary on these sorts of awkward and niche games was so sharp. Emphasizing their bizarreness, poking fun at their absurdity, but also accepting them for what they are and appreciating them as relics of times past. I will admit to you that I'm not as loyal a watcher now, though I do pop in for the occasional food video, but I happened upon your website and noticed this interesting feature. Just wanted to thank you for the critical, high-quality content and for seeing the art in everything.
A penny in the fountain,
Aiden

I loved the HungryMan 3 video today. Laughed quite a lot. Thanks for all the hard work, your editing is gold.
Also, MJ!!!! I love her, little chaos kitty! Her kicking your hand was so cute. Give her some not dry chicken.
P.S. Using the peach scissors against us is not nice

Love your posts...You're hilarious. Been watching you for years, especially love your food critic reviews! I have some new options on the menu for you to review if your game. I have found success recently with Chef Gordon Ramsay frozen meals, as well as the Yellowstone frozen meals, which yes, are inspired somehow by Taylor Sheridan's Yellowstone TV series. Not sure what tf is going on with that, but they're actually really good. Would love it if you'd actually taste them and review them ❤️
My wife and I get so excited when you post! We always love to watch them when we’re glonky (high Always a great time and always good laughs. Stay groovy Ian
Hello, Ian!
I've been a fan for nearly a decade by now—something that's absolutely crazy to think because I was in junior high back then and now I'm graduating from uni. Admittedly, I got into your content through your frozen meals series but what really gripped me in was your VHS videos and "vlog" type of videos. While I understand you're mainly one really creative guy across the world, I always find it fun to explore other cultures and media explorations from what's familiar from me and my upbringing in Southeast Asia. You've inspired me to pursue a lot of creative feats through your humor and projects and I imagine this rings true to many others as well. Please keep creating fun stuff!
Wishing you all the best,
Babs

So, where did Ian end up going after following Frankie Fox through the door?
Who's watering his fern?
I have so many questions in 2026 about this important topic.

Hi Ian! My husband and I have been watching your channel(s) together for 11 years now and want to let you know that you have brought us so many smiles and laughs. Your videos have comforted us throughout those years and for that, we are so grateful. I’m so excited to come across this guestbook because I have no social media and I wanted to ask, are you interested in being sent any mystery VHS tapes? I am an avid thrifter and estate sale enthusiast and just came across some randomly labeled VHS tapes and immediately thought of you. If I were to send them to you, would you prefer if I watched them first to make sure they’re worth your while? Please let me know! Thanks for everything, Ian!

I do love receiving Mystery Tapes in the mail! it doesn't matter to me whether or not you watch them before sending, but please check the tapes for mold! i can't do anything with moldy tapes. thanks for thinking of me!
Found your signal and I'm a fan. Love the site and the VHS tape videos, keep up the great work. -Lost
Howdy Ian, been watching for years and glad that you are still making videos. The editing gets me every time. I have the piss cheese moment saved in my camera roll lol.
Hello Ian,
I'm planning on selling a couple Old school Runescape style cluescrolls in my shop on the Minecraft server that lead to buried treasure. The different steps will require people to solve riddles and puzzles related to your content. This Guestbook entry may be one of the steps that someone would need to dig up, so if you could approve it that'd be appreciated =). Thank you for setting up such a cool space.
Now for the clue, congrats on finding it!

Hello Ian! It has been a few years since I signed your guestbook. It is time to sign it again, like the good ol' days of the internet!
I just want you to know that youtube has decided you are my favorite youtuber (which is true), and it auto plays your videos after I finish a video. Then it just plays your videos on repeat. You are constantly in my house.
I guess if you are ever back in DFW, you have a place to stay, since you are basically always here anyway.
Always looking forward to your videos! Have you considered answering questions or reading your guestbook on a video? You have years of guestbook to use!
Anyway, have a great day. If you are ever open to art commission, let me know! I love your style!

Hi ian, I stoopid. I sent you some games saying "when you done if you could send them back" I just realized you have a specific rule asking not to do this. I just wanted to say that, I stoopid. if any one reads this don't do what I've done, cause you aren't stoopid.
You are loved, someone cares for you, you matter.

Jokes aside, I wish I had the resources to pay you for all the therapy your videos have been to me man
For now, I can only play your videos continuously so I can add decades to my life span.
Thanks again man, you are the friggin' best!

Howdy Ian, you mentioned on stream that adding a noise isolator to your audio setup was helpful. I was wondering which product you got? I have been experiencing a buzz from my analog system and I wanted to give an isolator a shot. Thank you, love your work!
Admin Reply by: ian
it's called a 'Ground Loop Noise Isolator', and i bought a cheapo one off Amazon! the brand i got was 'Besign'
Hey Ian, my friends and I obsessed with your Gerbert videos because we grew up with him. Wanted to mention we know the guy that wrote most of the music on the show, had him watch your reviews!
Big fan BTW, watching since 2013

"pizza pizza" is from your My Magic Dog review!
(rip that video, too good for youtube, but greatly appreciated that you saved it and reuploaded it here, it was nostalgic to rewatch)

Hey Ian, thanks for pointing me in the direction of the brutalmerch store. I'll be getting myself one of those shirts shortly.
I forgot to ask another question, so pardon me for not getting that out in my other post.
I've got somewhere around probably 300 sold as blanks that people have dumped on me over the years. Looking to convert a lot of these to finally get them out of my basement.
Are you able to share the trade secrets of what you do for your VHS ripping/archival process? The quality is great. I feel like my rips always are lower fidelity, so I wasn't sure what exact process or tools you utilize.
Happy to reach out elsewhere if this isn't really the place to discuss such things.
Thanks again for all the awesome content over the years.

Ian, congratulations on a million subscribers! Been watching for a decade and have long been waiting to see you achieve this much-deserved milestone. Thanks for all the memories!
