It's sad to hear that Balder. Hopefully it is just something momentary he is going through, and bring it back.

What he's going through seems natural: most people on Youtube seem to make it through livestreams and donations and that kind of work requires a certain mental plasticity that disregards the film artisan in him. Both the dwindling Patreon subscriptions and Youtube views are probably difficult to support him, his family and his warehouse of gaming as well as all the publishing costs for his multitude of projects book and film-related.
I drop by every now and again to see new Classic Game Room videos but that's about it. I feel like Mark has great potential to strike it big but Youtube is the wrong platform for him. I know it's hard especially when you hear him complain but try to remember Mark for what we love him for and provide him criticism out of love for his craft and the undying dream that we may yet see him strike it big.

He is serious; he sold the El Camino (said it in one the commentaries on the Supreme Collections).

He getting to the point where he had to sell El Camino is a really terrible thing. He has a lot of talent so I hope these setbacks don't knock him down.
We know him for being really good at keep going no matter what obstacles come in the way and then push it harder than expected. I hopes he continues that way.

Perhaps it is time for Mark to do this part time? I'd hate to see the man lose his possessions over this. All hail the El Camino! All hail Lord Karnage! |

I have some vague memories of what they were, but I don't want to say anything I can't remember for sure. Back on the original site, when the Vault Pages were a brand new thing, he added some classic cars to the Vault. Sorta like how he later had the CGR Garage pages for the Hot Wheels, but these were the real thing. There were at least a couple of them. |

He's a victim of what he calls 'The Oversaturisation' and compared it to 'The Nothing' from the Neverending Story, compounded by the so-called 'adpocalypse'. |

Could've belonged to the CGR Crew or something. They were just pages on the website, though, not video reviews. It looked like the Space Vaults, with a couple pictures and a short description. I only saw the pages in the early "Beta" days. After that, I think they were gone. |
