Whatever you truly decide to do in your life I wish you nothing but the absolute best. However I can't say enough just how much of an impact you've had on the internet & the culture surrounding it at the time. You really made people laugh with what you've made. Take care sir.

Most people wish they could retire after having accomplished as much as you did. Don’t put yourself down over what could’ve been or downplay what you’ve already done. You are not a disappointment. People are going to remember you and enjoy watching your videos for years to come.

Just created this account to say that I guarantee, if for some reason you ever decided to start making content again, the overwhelming majority of people would be stoked. Believe it or not, the same people who still shit on you also want you to be happy and healthy, as odd as that may seem/sound.

I was really hoping youd figure out how to recover. Ive been in a not dissimilar rut for just over a year. Ive begun to hate everything. Commenters, services, other creators, even the source material. Took me 40 years to hate wrestlers and wrestling. Longer im gone, harder itll be to start again

in 2020, when i was really struggling, your videos helped me keep it together. i was in the process of a major life change, and your work helped keep me sane. please, don't forget that your work helped people get by. it genuinely saved me during one of the darkest times of my life.

We're still holding on for Year of the Spoony. We still believe in you even if you don't.

If this is truly the end, I’m sad to see you go. I loved watching your videos on Reb Brown movies, the Ultima series, your playthroughs of Phantasmagoria 2 and Ripper, and more. While I would love to see you make a comeback, your mental health is more important. Take care of yourself.

You were very important part of what I now understand to have been the happiest time of my life. I wish for you to find the peace and contentment that has heretofore evaded you.

You're neither useless, nor a burden to us. I can't speak for your family, but for me, the content you created has brought me infinite joy. I hope you find your way out of the darkness and into the light again. I really do.

@thespoonyone.bsky.social if you have any interest in joining an AD&D 1e weekly game - hit me up

Spoony - I had to create a bluesky account just to come to say this. We love you. I love you. (No guay) You are human. You are flawed yes. But this is why we know you are not a robot. (That was a joke) I'm your age, and was with you during your journey and afterwards. I always carry you in my heart

Take care dude and don't forget to give Burton a charge every now and then.The people that you once were your audience you can now call your friends and don't worry about entertaining us just check in now and then so we know your good.

All that material you did produce will remain and continue to be watched & rewatched regardless, and it is not an insignificant accomplishment as is. Most of us I'm sure hoped for a grand return, but you don't stick around for a decade if that's *all* you care about. I just hope you find something.

If you’re ever looking for an editor, let me know. All you’d have to do is script and perform it. Weather that’s *just* voice over or on screen.

I am in a space where my family has been supporting me and it seems like no matter what I do, it doesn't change. It hurts, and I feel like a failure. But, I try to remember that they support me because they want to and they love me. I hope that you feel that somewhere in all this, Spoony.

"Where Have all the Lawful Goods Gone" is a video that I owe my whole life to. It led to me discovering my love for DnD, reconnecting with old friends, gaining the confidence to make more friends online, and me becoming a streamer in the first place. Thank you for everything Noah, truly 💚

You know people still love you right? I would love to work with you

your ultimate review made me care about a franchise i had never even heard of before i think you could do great if you ever returned to video making and did more stuff like that put out positive things your passionate about

You are, and always will be, the Avatar.

also thank you SO much for the years of laughs you got me into final fantasy, phantasmagoria, ultima, bro burton and your skits & the intro song & your personality, just YOU looking back youtube aint been the same with out YOU but YOU gotta find YOU before we see YOU again its only right! u got this

last thing ill say is if you wanna come back some day do so and don't listen to anyone you have value just being a human outside of all this and you left your mark theres plenty of people still posting constantly that have less followers then you, build a happy life and return or pop in when u feel

i guess what i wanna drill in as much as i can bro is that you are not a burden or worthless or anything like that you only know what you're going through ive always believed in you and enjoyed being a part of the experiment you have hundreds of thousands of followers you did NOT fail.

and genuinely bro life can go in a lot of directions things can flip around when you least expect it. you shaped a huge part of who i am and i actually think youtube is MISSING you. your type of humor and personality is drastically needed in this but if you wanna lay low thats cool too <3 just do u

just know that if you ever do decide to come back you're always welcome and you're not a failure dude, i know how depression is and been through my fair share of stuff, not a fan of how toxic your reddit has become and i think all the online stuff amplifies the reality, YOU are still YOU and awesome

made a blue sky just to say this, imma be real bro you STILL are one of my favorite youtubers, and genuinely there is NO youtuber ive ever REWATCHED videos of as much as you, your type of humor is very unique dude. theres a reason why all of us are still following you YEARS later.

Been a follower since the start. Wish you all the best. You are missed.

I know a thing or two about being a worthless bum so you won't get any judgment from me. I hope this admission brings you some peace and you can learn to give yourself a break. You've brought a lot of people happiness over the years and you've helped me in the past more than you know.

Get off your ass and quit feeling sorry for yourself.

It genuinely saddens me to hear this is the end. You’re one of the main inspirations for my own channel as well as many others i grew up with. It hurts but we all understand. Maybe one day it’ll be time to come back, but for now i hope you find peace. I cant thank you enough for what you gave us.

I love watching your Live Wire streams, so you never stopped in my eyes! You're still as talented as you ever were dude, some people just have it.

I stumbled across a screengrab of this, I had missed it when you posted it. You've brought me so much joy, your jokes are seared into my mind and bring me and my friends joy at least once a week. Your RPG stuff and recomendations have genuinely given me direction as a gamedev and I've played...

I can say for me and certainly for the rest of your followers, everytime you comment on something, post something, it gives me joy on having you around. You're a cool dude

Bro. You have depression. Or Bi-polar. I also have severe depression. But I didn't have a career I could return to. I have SIBO and horrible fucking pain since 2009 from a food poisoning incident. I'm in constant pain physically and emotionally every single second of the day. Get on some... (1/3)

I've struggled for years with this. And I've tried. I really have. But even if I did come back, the culture and the platforms available have made it so that content production, for me is basically impossible and not a viable career option by any stretch. I don't know what to do with my life anymore.

I still pop the old board game and D&D videos on. A lot still resonate today.

Nah, you haven't been a burden to me, many of your opinions still resonates with me and I developed a lot of my views based on your thoughts, how you actually care about the lore (childhood experience with ultima), I couldn't read as well as you did, but I've learned to pay attention to many things

What I wish you could've done was be honest with yourself and your fans a decade ago, but I wish you nothing but the best of luck.

I made a Bluesky just to say this. There to me hasn't been a performer before or since like you. You got me into DnD and MST3K and god knows what more. There are 4 people who made a lasting impact on my life and you are one of them. So I guess I wanna say thank you just for being you.

I’ll STILL throw on a SWAT 4 playlist when I’m having a bad day, or binge Phantasmogoria until 3am. What you made will always be here 🙌

You're one of my favorite content creators ever, and I still to this day go back and watch some old Counter Monkey videos, or the Ultima retrospective every now and then. There will never be someone to fill the void you left, but I'll always appreciate all that you've done, and all the good times.

Spoony I will always consider you one of the GOAT from the bygone era of 2010s internet. There are many people who acknowledge your legacy and who still enjoy your work to this day. As for all the laughs and providing a form of escapism for me over the years all I can say is, Thank you very much.

Thanks for everything, Spoony.

Depression is a liar, you are not and never were a burden. Take a break but don't give up on life or content creation, a lot of people love your videos!

I do believe you could make a comeback of sorts, even just via vlogs, but I respect your decision. Your Ultima videos got me into playing Ultima 7, Ultima: Underworld and even Ultima 9 funnily. I got also into D&D via Counter Monkey and I listen to them often while I work or prep D&D session.

I truly hope you get the help you need. I still love rewatching your old episodes. Perhaps you could help someone else create videos. You’re one of the funniest to ever review movies and I think your talents could be utilized behind the camera. Just a thought. Be well bud.

I can't say how easy for you it would be to come back to making videos, everyones different and has different shit happening all the time and I'd be a hypocrite if I said any different. You do what you got to do and fuck anyone that says otherwise. If you do come back, I'll be here to watch.

Thank you for all the hours of joy. I hope you can find some of that joy for yourself and the ones you love. All the best to you.

You were always one of my favorite creators. I still watch your Ultima and B-movie reviews from time to time. I used to watch them with my brother when they first came out, and we laughed so much together. Thank you for those memories. I sincerely wish you all the best.

whoa whoa, not into that talk. If you mean you're done with making content, there's nothing wrong with that. You've already done more than most people will their whole life. If you think making things is a measure of your worth however, well there's a long list of why that's not true.

Nonsense The Obscure vanished for 10 years and they returned to video making youtu.be/Zjg20pRujOM?...

What's with this Episode of Bobby's World?YouTube video by Thee Obscure Showyoutu.be

also created a account just to leave a message. 100% fine to never make another video. But you arent worthless. We all move at our own pace. You're life may be different now but you are still worthy of being happy. thank you for all the videos and content, ill always be a huge fan

Your videos were awesome and were genuinely up there with James Rolfe's best for a long while. Still watch them from time to time. Hope you find a way to support yourself financially and mentally going forward. Thank you for the fun times and memories you created.

Sincerely, please google 'Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria' and see the symptoms. It will explain so much.

First of all, there's absolutely no shame in dedicating your life to taking care of dogs. They only get around 15 years, and as far as they're concerned we are their whole life. It's the least we can do for them.

I've followed you since as far back as when you fought the devil in the magic lamp back in FFVIII and there will never be another Spoony. The TSE chronological playlist I made or my own seen over half a million views and deserves every one of them. You'll always be the man, Spoon. The one and only.

I signed up here to tell you that I still love your videos. I learned to speak English with your videos. I’m one of the many people who will really miss you and your humor a lot. Like so many others, I watch your old videos almost every day. I can already recite a lot of them along with you, haha :)

If there's anything I've learned these past few decades, it's that some people find their calling much, much, MUCH later than others. But we all eventually find it. Keep trying to find the help you need to find that calling past video content Noah. Follow your instincts. I still believe in you.

Still rewatch your stuff after all of these years. You were actually the first content creator I ever watched which is cool. Thank you for the years of entertainment. I hope you find some peace with everything. If you ever do come back to making videos or a podcast or whatever, we got your back

The golden age of the internet in my opinion when I would browse TGWTG, gametrailers and screwattack. The Reb brown, Ultima and final fantasy videos are awesome. Watching those videos takes me back to a simpler time in my life. We cannot go back but we can always reminisce. Thanks for the memories.

oh, so you're gonna release the spoony movie but then like that's the finale that's ok tbh, i assumed given the radio silence you'd had your nose to the grindstone on the spoonster movie, and as long as it has the feel of a *spoony* video, i'll be happy with it as a finale

Hello, Spoony. I'm late to the ballgame like usual but I just wanted to say that I enjoyed your time here and on YouTube. You're still one of my favorites to hang out with, your reviews, game knowledge, movies, etc was very spot on! I haven't been here lately, dealing with my own BS, thank you.😊🥹

Whatever you do with the rest of your life, I hope you can be proud of the work you've done, and know that the people you entertained and inspired are grateful for it.

Damn spoony I've been watching you for idek how many years, and still do. Idk what you got going on, sometimes life sucks bro, but I hope you know you legit still have a fan base. And idk your process but maybe instead of trying to keep what you had going, maybe a hard reset and slow start, id watch

Definitely for the best. Time to focus on something else that is productive and help get you on your own feet and off the family teat, that does absolute wonders to bolster your sense of self worth. Move forwards, you can do it!

Gotta do what’s best for you, yeah?

Look dude, I dusted off this old shitpost account SPECIFICALLY to tell you that, you don't need to feel forced to make anything. You already contributed more than most people ever accomplish in their lives. If the muse hits, jump. If not, don't stress about it. But keep well, all the same.

Hey Spoony, I've been a fan since the beginning. Your videos popped up at one of the most difficult periods in my life and I'm not overstating when I say they were a lifeline. Love all your content, from the early stuff to newer CwC appearances. Thank you for all the laughs.

Your Ultima retrospective is one of the best things you've ever contributed to the internet. My friends and I still quote, "What's a Paladin?" to each other when we're acting dumb. If you're hanging up the spurs for good, I get it. I've seen content creators either burned out or life moving on.

@thespoonyone.bsky.social Noah I know you've been through a lot. And despite it all I still support you. Youve inspired so many including myself to continue what you made which is nothing short but amazing.

I just produced my first short film. It’s about a DnD game that goes awry. It wouldn’t exist without Counter Monkey.

Dude. You made an impression on me and how I look at culture. Fuck the haters. I've yet to see anything you ever did I did not enjoy. Noone said being a spoony bard would be easy. But you're a mighty fine bard anyways.

Sad to hear your feelings on this. But yeah, I have understood that there was very little chance of you returning to making videos. Thanks for all the laughter and entertainment you have given me. You inspired me to become a creator myself. I'm a Musician that produce, compose and write. Thank you.

We'll always have the old videos and the jokes. Counter Monkey. Bayou Billy. Final Fantasy. Dungeons and Dragons. Highlander. The Thing. Nothing can take those fun times away.

I'm sorry you're going through this. I remember as a teen, back before I had the courage to make many friends, that you were the buddy I wished I'd had. Thank you for it all: the laughs, the fun & for inspiring me to give blogging a try. Whatever's next, I hope it brings you some well deserved joy.

One thing that I want you to keep in perspective is, while most of us in the comments are fans of "The Spoony One", all of us are fans of Noah Antwiler. Give yourself the grace the people that care about you give. You are not your failures, Noah, you are the response. Keep fighting the good fight.

Hey Noah, I made a blusky account in part to keep in touch with people like yourself whose content helped me from afar when my life was at its worst. I can't tell you what I'd give to hear you talk/rant about Cyberpunk 2077. I learned about Cyberpunk in part from watching your videos.

If you still love video production but can’t get unground of the camera why not help others with this? Hair yourself out to as a video editor. Thank way you still make money doing something you love while not being in front of a camera.

I love you man. Sending anything energy I have to give. Whatever you do next. I hope you keep in touch.

You how have entertain so many and touched so many people’s lives. You have made a very positive impression to so many. I would not be here if it was not for you. You helped me when I needed help the most. I hope you find someone that can do that for you in some small way you deserve so much more.

I really hope you fine some happiness in your life Noah. If you can’t make entertainment anymore that is not a big thing. You have done so much with your life already most don’t even get that far. Your legacy with always be there forever.

Sad to hear this. Really enjoyed your content back in your ThatGuyWithTheGlasses times. Wish you all the best and good success for the future.

Please do not do what I think you're implying here. You don't have to make content for people, but you have to live. There is light at the end of this tunnel

I still watch your old videos for laughs so seriously don’t put yourself down that much. You made some great stuff! But seriously do what you need to get yourself in a better state of mind.

Noah, I just want you to know that your videos helped me through a tough time. I lost sight of you when you stopped uploading reviews, but I always checked in every now and again just so see how you were holding up. I sincerely hope your thread doesn't imply what I think it implies. You matter.

We still remember you whether you produce videos or not. You made a lot of people laugh with your work and nothing can ever take that away. The landscape has certainly changed and you were lucky to have a been part of the zeitgeist.

Thank you for hours of entertainment full of laughter, resigned groans, and silent nods of agreement. I don't know you personally, but I do wish you every fortune and happiness in whatever you do and whomever you meet.

I enjoyed your content and thank you very much for putting it out. It help but a smile on me when I needed it most. Please take care.

You’ve inspired so many people and continue to, you inspire me. You’re stuck in a pit you can’t escape and unfortunately you’re the only one who can get yourself out of it. You have a built in audience regardless of what you choose to do, ten years of nothing, why not try one month of something?

Spoony, you were my favourite of all the guys I watched back then, you have natural charisma and made really solid videos. Don't care about the times changing, if you came back tomorrow, with a video that looked and felt like it was made in 2010, people would watch it. Don't sell yourself short.

This sounds a lil...too final for my liking. There are waaaaaay too many people who have done so much worse, took a break, and got to come back like nothing ever happened. I don't really think it's fair that you aren't afforded that chance. 1-

Dear Noah. I have sent you an e-mail with sincere cincern. Pleaae consider reading it.

Maybe don't say you're done forever, you could do video editing for other people for awhile as that's a decent resume chunk to work with as a freelancer, then see where you go from there. You still have a huge audience who only wish you success (hi from the UK by the way!). Good luck man

Being blocked off from creation and feeling as if we're a burden to others shouldn't be a quiet struggle, it's something most of us have to deal with. We should celebrate the loud struggle and for those of us that choose to uplift us that feel like we're mired in failure, they deserve that anyway

Please just get help. A lot of people want you to get better

noah, out of all the TGWTG folks, you were always my favorite. you knew how to make me laugh. and to this day, i still marathon your ultima vids. if this really is it for you, then kudos and good on you for getting help. but if you ever decide to come back, i and many others will gladly watch you.

Well, darn... Could you at least tell us what you had planned out for the Spoony movie?

You got me back into Final Fantasy. You introduced me to Shin Megami Tensei. You've given me hundreds of hours of laugh, joy, and smiles. Thank you for everything you've given me. And maybe it's not worth anything but I still believe in you.

one of the best to ever do it. thank you for having done it at all

Thank you. You brought so much happiness and distraction to me during your run of videos when I was in such a bad place. You made a difference and I appreciate you.

Hey Spoony, I've been watching since the olden days. I'm sad to see you go, but hope that this will be a way forward and open the door to a new purpose. You have value in who you are, not just who you were. Please take good care of yourself. You will stay a guest in this home. nxtttbadger

You helped me get into D&D. I appreciate that a lot. I rewatched 'What's An Antipaladin?' the other day, in fact. Whatever you do now, you've made a positive impact. Recognising where you're struggling is a good step in pulling yourself back up. We're all here to support you.

Yo. Spoon-Man. Still there?

To me you are a treasure, as far a a burden you could be. I rewatch lots of your videos multiple times per year. You’ve touched so many people with your personality, and I know that when you finally find your way, you will continue to do the same. Whatever is next, you can do this!

Thank you for everything you gave us, sir. All those video game and movie reviews, all those vlogs and streams, all that Counter Monkey content, all that Wrestle Wrestle content, all of it. I always stuck by you and I always had your back. May your life be peaceful and free of stress and drama.

All I can say is that I hope you find peace wherever you go, and with whatever you do.
