…Wow. This is really sad for me. I grew up as a huge Abridged Series fan. And not just TeamFourStar’s Dragon Ball Z Abridged and LittleKuriboh’s Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series, all sorts of the old 2008-2012 Abridged Series; back when they were all called the Abridged/Abridging Community and were voicing in other Abridged Series videos. I’ve been a fan of Grant Smith (or, when I knew him, Master WGS) and Kirran Somerlade (LordMoonstone @urmoonstone) since my miserable teenaged days, when Grant used to make Pokemon The Abridged Series…which I admittedly don’t remember much of.
But the two of them, as well as Chris Zito in some videos like his and Taka’s videos on Nekopara and the Persona 4 Golden MEMEstream, joining TeamFourStar’s TFS Gaming channel alongside Lanipator and sometimes other guys was really phenomenal. Back when I used to watch every video in my YouTube Subscriptions (which I think might have been due to my Autism/possible OCD), there were so many days where their Let’s Play and one-off videos, streams and VODs made me laugh my ass off and/or cheer me up after a sad day.
There was all the random assortment of characters they made and played as, such as Dumplstiltskin from their Bloodborne streams, Dumplin from Xenoverse 1 and Puddin from Xenoverse 2, TANTOR, MR. STAKE and SLOWMARA from their Pokemon Soul Silver NUZLOCKE, Inspector Jenks from CONTRADICTION. There were their silly and cheesy running gags they did over and over again, like Lanipator and Kirran pretending to fuse and shouting “We Are Lirran!” and trying to speak in unison to simulate how DBZ Fusion characters speak, saying their uncle is “THE Johnny [insert intellectual property here]” who gives them the hot probably false information on whatever series or franchise they’re playing, Grant and Kirran calling themselves “Two Halves of the World’s Greatest Detective” and Fuck Box Geoff.
I don’t think I’ve felt this sad since Super Best Friends (another channel that I was a huge fan of and grew up watching in my teen years) split up. I know Kirran and Grant are going to carry on making videos but they and Lanipator were TFS Gaming. After having them there for years, it’s sad to see them leave the company. But I just gotta remember the good times and wish Grant, Kirran and Zito the best. Because they made me happy and I want them to be happy because they honestly deserve it.
