Hey Ian,
Hope you're doing well. I've been watching your videos for the past 7ish years. Feels almost like a different life when I compare where I am now versus where I was that long ago. I was in my senior year of college, trying to keep my head above water. I felt like I was drowning in school and stress. I often remedied this by having a few too many drinks and running through your videos with a friend.
I got my first job soon after. It was low paying for the work but I was happy for the experience. I learned a lot during this time, probably more than I did in school. Definitely more than I was expecting. Especially about myself. I'd watch your videos about visiting arcades and opening Yu Gi Oh! cards and reminisce on childhood with a friend or by myself if I was feeling a certain way.
Now I've gotten a new job. Packed my bags and moved all the way across the US. It's a big change, leaving my family and friends behind. I'm happy though. Probably more than I was before. Definitely more than I was expecting. I watch your videos as you release them. Will I get a dose of nostalgia? Or maybe something new? It's a surprise.
I hope time has been treating you well as it has for me these past 7 years. And if it hasn't, don't wait on life, treat yourself.
Thanks.

Thanks so much suthgil! I'm glad your big move went well!
Hello there! It’s nice to have a small way to chat with ya! I have a bit of questions, if you don’t mind!
I’m a bit of a 3D artist, working with models from Splatoon (I hope you’ve heard of it), and I wanna make art of you (or a character you use for your art) in the style of those assets! I was gonna do it, but I kinda felt bad if I didn’t get permission somehow, so here I am! If you want, my website (which is just my Insta) will have tons upon tons of examples of my artwork, but be warned, there may or may not be a good amount of gay art there lol
Lastly, I have a question regarding P.O. box policy. Let’s say I want to send you a Gundam model kit starter package with sharp objects, like a hobby knife, side cutters, etc. If they are packaged in a way so that they do not injure you upon opening, are sharp/pointy objects ok for your P.O. box?
That’s basically it, thank you for reading my “thing”, and I await your response! Have a good day, or night!

I love getting fanart! Just be sure you send it my way so I can see it!
As for the PO boxes, as long as things aren't dangerous I think that's probably fine to send. If you feel like it might be a tad risky though, might be a better idea to skip it.
Thanks!

Hey Moosey, just wanted to drop by and say thank you for all the hours and hours of comforting content you've brought my way! For the past little over a year or so, your YouTube channel has been a prime source of comfort for me when times are tough. Something about your attitude on everything just brings a smile on my face, even at times when smiling doesn't come easy. Whether its a fun brutalfoods video of you reviewing snacks I've never thought about critically before, or a classic video of you ripping on some old PC game, there's just something about your videos that keeps me happy 🙂 been a fan for many years now but my love for your content only grows! Thank you man.
P.S. I love the new website design 🙂

Thanks you, dan!
hey there, Brutalmoose! I've been a fan of your content for quite a few years, and I just wanted to drop in and say thank you for all the laughs! I rush to watch whatever you upload whenever you upload it, the vibe you have in your vids is immaculate, and it helps a lot whenever I'm trudging through work or whatever else. I'm excited to see how you continue to grow as a creator, keep up the fantastic work 🙂
Hey iAN!
So after the Christmas Massacre stream, I was looking at other Puppet Combo games. Apparently it's kind of a prequel to another one of their games, Blood Maniac, in case you wanted some more in a similar vein!

I'll definitely look into their other games! Jeff mentioned that Murder House was a good one
Hello iAN. Love the site.
Long time watcher. Thought I'd reach out and say thanks for giving me so much to watch, and rewatch when I should be working from home.
Been binging the nance stream vods recently, the vhs-ness of your more recent streams is so comfy.
Obligatory suggestion. Clue Chronicles: Fatal Illusion is a game I played many years ago which plays very similarly to the nance games, but with the clue characters. Got the amazingly horrible 90s 3D characters and everything. Seems like it'd be up your alley.
Thanks again, looking forward seeing whatever you're up to next.

Thank you Alex!
Amazing website, it brings back memories of surfing the web on my middle school's computers.
What was your favorite game on Miniclip? Mine was Raft Wars.

Hi Ian, a while back ago on the bluebird communication platform something about collaborating with other content creators.
Among video game stuff, I also do retro tape archival. So I have a decent assortment of VHS from the Midwest at my disposal some from personal childhood recordings, others from thrift store acquisitions and collecting. Would you potentially be interested in having access to those tapes for your purposes on Mystery Tapes?
I’d love to lend out some of my library if you think it might provide good content. Most of them are akin to your FoxBox one you recently just covered.
Cheers.

Thanks for the offer, G&B!
My PO box is always open to VHS tapes! It's one of my favorite things to receive, actually. Just be sure you hold onto any of them that have sentimental value!

Good evening Sir Moose,
Your videos have become a staple for me, and they help me relax when im stressed. Watching your vids (field trips and food reviews especially) gets a laugh out of me every time.
Thanks for the entertaining content, keep it up!

Thank you very much Eluka!
Hi Ian, just wanted to thank you for showing me the interesting world analogue media. Since watching your mystery tapes videos it has inspired me to collect VHS media and I have become extremely fascinated by it.
Cheers,

That's awesome Race! These tapes are only going to be good for so long... we have to enjoy them before they decay. Enjoy the tapes!
Yo, did you hear about the new Riven remake? Looks pretty awesome to me though I am kinda tired of all of the remakes that are happening.I’m more excited for Firmament personally.
Admin Reply by: ian
Pretty interesting! Not sure that I'll play it. Curious as to what this means for Starry Expanse, if that's even still a thing. Firmament should be dope, I'm going to play that one.
iAN, I know metal music ain't much of your thang, but you got some pretty long locks and you got brutal in the name. so I was wondering if you could do a sweet windmill headbang like so https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwW4TdIum0w&t=56s
please share the results if you could!

Hello Mr Brutalmoose, and thank you for all the wonderful content over the years.
I only have one question, have you ever considered putting full recordings of some of the mystery tapes up on Archive.org or someplace similar?

I probably won't upload full tapes with shows included, but I did recently start a YT channel to archive some of the stuff that I find while Mystery Tapesing.
I just posted a compilation of bumpers and ads from the latest episode, if you'd like!

hey, is this the real Ian? if so i would like to say that a couple of months ago i decided to watch the Instant holiday dinner video after seeing one of your most positive reactions to a frozen TV dinner being the meatloaf. At the time i was about to go to one of my friends house and though i should bring the meatloaf for him and i and my god were you absolutely correct. best frozen meal ever had in a long time. its practically a tradition for me to bring the delicious meatloaf everytime i visit their house. and for that i thank you ian brutalfoods for the amazing tradition and also your other videos are amazing

this is one of the real ians, yes
i'm really glad you enjoyed the frozen meatloaf! reading this post actually made me hunger for one.

Thanks Wizard!
I actually *have* considered doing arts and crafts videos before... there's a specific one I've wanted to make for a while and haven't done it yet. Maybe I'll give it another thought....

Hey Ian, I just wanted to let you know that over the past couple of years Ive been watching your videos (I’ll literally watch through past videos until a new one drops). Your humor and style are needed in the chaos of everyday life. I watch through your catalog when I feel down and it always raises my mood. Keep doing what you’re doing! Thanks man.
Admin Reply by: ian
Thanks so much for watching, Collin! I'm really glad my videos are able to cheer you up even just a little bit.
hello ian/moose! sorry to ask another question so early, but i was wondering specifically what mic you use for your videos such as your VHS/Movie reviews? (such as the newest Mystery Tapes)
Admin Reply by: ian
it's a Rode Reporter!

Hey thanks Tyler!
I got my & tattoo when I first moved away from my home in TX. My sister and I got matching tats in the same spot because we're good pals

Hey ian! I don’t know if this is the right place to put this but just wanted to say thank you so much for opening my mail on stream recently! (I sent the cryptoville comic, a fanart painting and a painting of my characters.) I really hope you enjoy the comic! The 2 paintings are indeed watercolors done on index cards. Just wanted to let you know, in the fanart I put your characters in the world of betrayal at club low where your lizard guy is wearing big moe’s coat and the fox guy has the pizza backpack.If you ever get the chance to read the comic I’d love to hear your thoughts! Your videos, comedy and general relaxed vibe have been a huge inspiration and source of calm for me for years. Its an honor to know you have my art. I hope to one day post stuff like you do but I have no idea where and the idea of doing what you do alone stresses me out lol.
Admin Reply by: ian
hey thanks again so much for the art, Zach! the piece you did of my characters is hanging on my office bulletin board, it's super good. i love the club low references, too! i didn't catch those at first glance.
i haven't had a chance to read your comic, but i've flipped it through and the art is really slick! i'm really happy to have inspired you in some way - seeing all this cool shit you made is an inspiration to myself.
i hope you find a place to share your work! and don't let being a solo creator keep you down, there are a lot of joys in doing things by yourself. you always end up learning a lot when working alone!
thanks again, Zach!
keep creating!
