This was an amazing video, it shows your integrity and that you're totally open. I loved that review, I think he's in the right track.

Sheena Roberts says:

You are awesome for being honest do not apologize we all need to support our families. You are the man of that house that is ur job. My man is a truck driver he gives up having a normal life to support me. You keep taking care of that hot wife!

As long as the contract allows you to give your honest opinion of the game and allows you to point out the bad as well as the good then I don't see a problem. The SoM crap is what gets people pissed. I'm a long time fan and I know that you're honest. You shouldn't apologize for making money while giving your opinions. Now if you said a game was good because a contract told you to then there would be an issue. As far as the censoring thing goes I don't see it like that. If people fans or first time visitors alike are going to act like children then they need to be separated and made to stand in the corner. I back you in disabling the comments. I would have done the same thing. It makes no sense to sit back and allow people to talk that way to others. This is the ugly side of the Internet. People typically don't have to answer for being an asshole unless it meets some political agenda. You have more respect from me for the way you have gone about this.

Your decision to do the last video was GOOD. I don't care about what stupid people will say about it. If the company agree with you doing a honest video, how is it different from ANY other video you do? This is your channel, and if you are not telling lies to people, I don't see how it could possibly be wrong;

cyber burner says:

i think your honesty is very respectable  

Nathanial Ramoska says:

You shouldn't apologize for anything you are being your self and to be honest I have followed you for the last few years and I have to say you're my favorite channel to watch. Keep it up and maybe talk more about magic.

I don't mind Boogie's paid promo stuff bc he's pretty transparent about it, though I certainly understand why some people are annoyed by it.

Snail Race Enthusiast says:

Boogie, fuck these people. You're an excellent video maker, reviewer, and person. They don't know what its like to get paid for something you love to do and then get backlash for it. At the end of the day life goes on with or without videogames so you have to prioritize yourself over bitchy, selfish people that watch your videos. Remember that you will always have a following of people like me that only want you to do the best you can because you have put in all this effort to please your community and you deserve respect.

ByteMe says:

Everyone stfu down there. Hi boogie.

Ack Ade says:

I have watched you tip toe around hot subjects that you are afraid might piss off your viewer base time and time again.  Then I watch you withhold praise where it might not be popular because you are afraid of your viewer base.  Now you are shutting off comments and ratings because suddenly the internet is full of ass-holes?  Surely you aren't that blind or at the very least do not think we are that stupid.  Embrace being a shill.  You are so very good at it already. 

Herb Dean says:

Boogie your always gonna be awesome you deserve too make some bread don't feel bad about it I will always support you for live keep doing that done and my family love you man and you know this love you man

Crescent Star says:

Talk about games the way you want to talk about them. Let the people who hate you hate on you and brush that shit away.

John Branagan says:

Great video

DownwithMarx says:

So I skipped over the Might and Magic video because I wasn't interested, but now needed to go watch it.

What was the issue with it being paid promo? You were upfront that it was paid promo and you mentioned things you didn't like. You didn't go into much detail, but it wasn't a detailed video period. I'm a new viewer and I don't know that I've seen any of your gameplay videos. I thought it was a bad, boring video (As in I'd be disappointed if I was the one paying for it) but none of that had anything to do with it being paid. I just thought it was very shallow and didn't provide much info.

Now if long time fans can tell me that shallowness was a direct result of it being paid and you couldn't go into that much detail, then I see the issue.

AlwaysLoveOthers says:

You are amazing.

Phillip Vo says:

boogie is one of the realest 

Sea Level Cain says:

Stu Bur says:

Hey I appreciate your honesty and transparency but lets keep it real. If Mercedes offers you a free car to do a video – say yes!
