Hey, as someone who's been watching you for over 10 years and was inspired by your editing style, this was a very nice answer and about the best way this could have been handled. I'm sorry over-ambition and inability to deliver got to you. This destroys a lot of KZfaqrs, and they feel like they have so much to live up to even when it's not their fault. This last week of new videos out of you has genuinely been one of the happiest weeks of this year, and I don't mean that in a sarcastic asshole kind of way with how the rest of the year's been. Really, just work hard, draw a line somewhere when it comes to scope of a project, and I think we'll be happy to wait for however long it takes. Thank you for being you.

That top 5 list wasn't dry at all, since most of it involved Labyrinth Zone.

guys calm down he’s just watching the sopranos full series, seasons 1 - 6

Not going to lie, if he actually just made top 5 sonic shortcuts I would still be content. This guy could talk about literally anything and I would be entertained.

Oh! Wow thanks for the shoutout!

"looks like the algorithum doesn't like you dissapearing for 3 years" MY man you were at the hight of your career after you dissapeared for 9 years....

I was unironically getting into the Schopenhauer portion before you cut it off.

That guy sounds an awful lot like Cybershell

I’ve been a fan of your videos since the SA days in 2009 so I really appreciate the shoutout. The new stuff you're putting out is great.

i missed you. don't leave us ever again.

Apology for bad english Where were you when cybershell die I was at house playing sonic 3 when phone ring "Cybershell is kill" "No"

Unironically, this really is one of the greatest videos of his career

im serious hes going to just stop in a week and im not mentally prepared

Cybershell talking about his absence, then presenting his video scraps? I'm afraid we may have reached the end of this marathon.

I'm not upset at you leaving. I'm upset at the fact that every time you come back you make some of the best videos ever. Stuff like that is what I aspire to be able to do

When I saw your "Why Sonic Adventure DX is a bad port" video, I thought it was a fake until I saw your video. And then I thought that it was an old video. And when I saw the post date, I flipped my shit. After this disaster known as 2020, I am really happy to see you back.

Cybershell: -cuts video off- “no no no. That’s not it” Me: “.....I was enjoying that..... :( “

Welp, that confirms that he wasn’t stockpiling videos cybershell your ideas are great also you were funny the whole time *Stuff I will put into this comment for everyone to see since it’s so popular* line Don’t look at Sonic’s hand in the thumbnail of the fleetway sonic overview video he made If you clean a vacuum, you are a vacuum. Why did this comment all of a sudden become the console wars? (with a company against the same company) Also, if he ran out of video ideas, why did he suddenly become inactive on... everything?

Time for the 9 year hiatus. Everybody. Get the snacks.

its been 2 days he's gone for good now

Huge thanks for the shoutout. This past week has been an absolute thrill. You're one of my biggest creative influences. Best wishes, man.

I know what could solve everything: Sonic 3 bonus video

Well that was fun Anyone up for Chinese

That ending part was incredibly sweet, I cannot even begin to FATHOM how long it took to get all those fonts and images put together in such a natural way! A real nice way of thanking those who continued to support you!

Cybershell pulled a Hello Games. He did something that on the eyes of everybody was shitty, but instead of trying to justify himself or say anything, he worker hard on making everything better and finally addressed the problems he had to his fanbase after doing a lot of hard work. Welcome back pal, I'm really glad you're doing well and hope you get to be at your best for you. The editing thing was a bit freaky, but thanks for the videos.

13:08 “So this is the part of my video where I convince you donate to my patreon again. So here’s my pitch; don’t do it. If you can spend like 2 minutes you can easily find a content creator who deserves it more than me.” Despite the fact that you leave for years to not make any videos, this is extremely untrue. When I found your channel 3 years ago you instantly became one favorite of my favorite youtubers. And after all this time almost no one has come close to changing that. This is why people were pissed when you left, this is why me and many others checked every while too see if you came back, there’s just no youtuber like you. It’s not just your humor but there’s something that makes you talking about the things that you enjoy extremely entertaining. Hell, im not even that big of a sonic fan, but I could (and have) watch you nerd off about sonic and literally any other thing. I don’t know if you’re reading this or if this but i want you to know that you’re a great content creator, we love you Cybershell. PS: No homo

Man I love this channel. I don’t care how long it takes. I waited 3 years and I’m completely fine with waiting another 3 or longer

This video really gives me a sense of finality for this channel

We don't need you to be funny, we just like hearing your voice talk about something you are passionate about

"This Autism Thing" Probably the most accurate quote to put in a Sonic related video

us Cybershell fans have abandonment issues, its been 2 days without uploads and I'm scared

I would actually love to see a Schopenhauer reading of Sonic.

Cybershell: Makes an actually interesting skit around sonic shortcuts, some I didn't even know about Also Cybershell: T R A S H Absolute madman.

I totally get this like 1000%. Any time I’ve taken a prolonged break it was never intentional. Video making became a lot less difficult when I realized I didn’t have to go out of my way to make sure I was being funny constantly. Good to have you back.

Hes gone now. It was a fun week. But I think he's gone.

aaaaaaand it's gone..

The end credits patreon thing was so cool

I can see the deep pain this man carries in his heart. He lives in constant guilt of his actions, trying to make up for it, never believing himself to be good enough. Little does he know how much his fans really adore him.

Cybershell has the potential to overthrow Dunkey as the game king.

Well see you in another 2 years cyber

I never stopped being a patron, not because I thought you'd come back, but because I figured life happens, and wherever you were, you could use the few dollars I was sending your way. Yoooo I got the Castlevania end card. Nice. Hope to keep seeing more content from you. But if I don't, I'm still happy to have what you've made so far.

Actually, that segment about Hedgehog's Dilemma is pretty much the driving focus of the Sonic Movie, that loneliness Sonic feels is what kickstarts the events of the movie, and only when that loneliness is defeated is he able to save the day.

It was nice while it lasted. See you all in 2029 after the hibernation cycle is over.

"Well you see, now that I've learned to be funny, I can simply choose not to be funny of my own volition. Trust me, it feels a lot better than just naturally not being funny." I really felt that

I can’t believe cyberhsell just said heck guys wtf!?

So is this you “announcing” another hiatus? Or are you just saying “thanks for the support”? Because honestly, I’m not sure if I’m mentally prepared for you to go. I may not be an OG fan, but you coming back to KZfaq really gave me something to look forward to. And I thank you for that. If you do leave us again (which lets be real, you probably will) please at least communicate with the community you’ve formed.

I'm gonna miss you, cybershell. Stay well man.

I didn't expect antinatalist theory in a video from my favorite Sonic the Hedgehog KZfaq channel but here we are. Great job on the Patreon credits by the way.

Just make a review on the 6 seasons of The Sopranos Edit: oh god no no no he stopped uploading AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

my entire recommended is you, what do you mean the algorithm doesn't like you

i like your sense of humor a lot. i prefer it to a dry, information dump video. i think you're innately good at finding a happy in between.

the shortcut video actually got me, man, your videos are good without you even trying!

“And thus the great Cybershell disappeared once more... ... ... ...?”

jesus christ the ending sounded like this was going to be his last video.....wait

The ending you did for your patrons was amazing! I don’t know how you did it, with all those fonts. I can’t imagine how much time and effort that took. It was beautiful.

I audibly gasped at the 3D Movie Maker part at 9:55.

Did not expect to see my Patreon name in the credits from when I chucked in money years ago lmao. Caught me off guard. I totally understand the high expectations dilemma. It's hard being a creator, getting recognition, and then getting stuck because you're not satisfied. Hell, it even happens regardless of how many people are watching you. It's good to see you back and I look forward to whatever you put out. I'll watch it all, and whether or not you're proud of it, people are gonna really enjoy it. Your knowledge on this stuff is incredible and what makes everything fascinating. Can't wait to see more, no matter how long it takes

Cybershell has embraced the strand type content

He's already gone, guys. Se y'all in 3 years.

The greatest video of my career... *And the last video of my career*

This sorta thing happens when you fall asleep for 3 years

First vid to address the hiatus? Is this the end of daily uploads?!

Cybershell has one of the best channels on KZfaq. I studied philosophy and love sonic. This video hits the spot.

This is it. The end of Cybershell. You can (not) watch the Sonic 3 Bonus Video. EDIT: this aged poorly

I’m glad that cybershell tried to ease into making content again. It almost feels like he never left. Cybershell truly is my favorite The Sopranos lore master

[Insert over-used reddit joke about uploading rather than talking about the video, being a fake fan]

Hell yeah! Giving guys like Running Shine and Geek Critique some love! Those guys rock!

This gave me existential anxiety at parts and left me feeling unsettled and sitting here for like 10 minutes with the feeling like I want to say something but I have no idea what to say.

Thanks for clarifying why you'd left, and the reason is really really satisfying. Thanks bro

Didn't even notice that you were "not funny" in those new videos, these are great videos. Whatever you are up to I am looking forward to it.

All i gotta say is, been browsing your channel for the past couple days and your new stuff is exactly what youtube needs, great stuff!

hey, it's finally available in the UK! good stuff

i’m glad your love of autism jokes hasn’t died

I know how you can appease the KZfaq algorithm. Talk about Sonic Heroes.

I've only just started watching your content due the algorithm sending me here this week I really like your content, glad you're back

Welp, he's gone again. See y'all again in 2026 when the Sonic 3 Bonus Video comes out! Good luck surviving "current events"!

dude, there's a reason why i never unsubbed during your absence, i always saw you in my sub list and not once did it cross my mind to leave. i waited those three years cuz i adored your old videos, and as soon as you came back, i too returned to watching as if you has never left, and these videos are more than what i could have ever asked for, never stop!

I like how you list a bunch of video ideas at the beginning and then claim to not have any. It's even more genius then being funny when you say you aren't. you've done good, man. I hope you don't go through that procrastination cycle again. Also love the St. elsewhere ending. Wish you ended the video with it so you could gaslight your knuckle dragging audience into thinking you were never real.

Anytime I'm feeling down I watch some cybershell and all of a sudden everything's ok and I can keep on keeping on Thanks dude

Your dedication to bits and being informative at the same time while never cracking is Tim Rodgers level. I’m excited to see more, whenever that happens!!!

In all seriousness, you have absolutely exceeded any expectations anyone could've had for this channel and its resurgence. You've clearly worked your ass off to prepare this mass of quality content, and I for one am extremely thankful for your return.

Thanks for telling us why you left.

and this was the day Cybershell died again

It's been 6 days *nervous laughter*

Despite the 3 year gap, the algorithm found me a week ago and I'm glad it did. Been binging your vids since!

That "Top 5 Classic Sonic Shortcuts" part was actually really good.

Guys..he’s gone, I can’t believe

Dude, I haven’t heard “Ziggy boogie doog” in fucking years. Instantly subscribed, awesome random thing to include

Holy shit I'm in a Cybershell vid! Really can't stress enough how much this made my day.

Unironically some of your new videos are instant classics.

HES BACK ON HIS SECOND CHANNEL

It's been 2 days after the 10 day marathon of daily uploads. I really hope your just working on a video. If not and your heading out tytyty for more awesome vids I can rewatch

Technically you stopped uploading for 2 and a half years.

Regardless of what anyone says I congratulate you of all you accomplish during your career And congratulations on 100k hope that silver play button will treat ya

I'm really thrilled you're back, just take your time (err, not _that_ much time) & make vids about whatever you want, I'm sure they'll be enjoyable.

No new video today or yesterday. see you guys again in 3 years.

I swear that Cybershell is starting to look like Macaulay Culkin

Speedrunning "return to relevance" any%

god damn the tracks in this video fit the feel of each segment so perfectly, this is some beyond top tier film scoring right here. i guess you'd call it cybershell tier

dont wory guys hes not gone hes still on twitter
