Awright people
Added 2024-07-25 16:18:55 +0000 UTC
Hey guys, it's been a wee while.
Sorry for the wait for anything new from me for the last few months. I needed a little bit of time to myself to reset and refresh a wee bit. I didn't know it would be as long is it has been, but here we are.
This YouTube thing kinda wears you down mentally over time and I could just feel it gradually chipping away at me over the span of months, so I had to switch my brain off to it all for a while to recharge and get my shit together.
I don't normally talk about myself in my videos or anything too personal as I don't think it's the focus of what I do on my channel. I've always had the view that the videos aren't about me. Usually it's just my shared enjoyment of the games with you all that takes the focus (and I still think that's the way it should be), so I've never really been comfortable talking openly about myself and my personal life, but obviously after such a long absence I couldn't just come back and act like nothing happened, so that's why this video exists.
My first main channel video back won't focus on this much but for anyone who wants to know, this post/video exists for them.
I thought I should address you guys first and then I'll link this out to everyone else if they're at all interested in where I've been and why.
Also I needed the practice in video-making before doing something for the main channel again, I wasn't sure if I'd be rusty at it but it's like riding a bike. I thought doing MGSV made for a fun wee video.
Anyway, now that I've pulled myself back up from the floor I feel like I'm ready to get back into it beginning today with a video for you guys to sink your teeth into on a game that I''ve been back into during my absence and been loving again.
I'm working on my first Hitman video back for the main channel (that'll be out in the next couple of days).
Anyway, this video is a one-time thing (unless people enjoy it enough to want another one from me on here) and I'll be back on this again very soon with what I want to make going forward on my Patreon and also the main channel.
Thanks for reading and for everyone who reached out and helped kick me back into gear. I appreciate you all.
Cheers everybody,
-Mooney

The good news is that his steam activity would indicate at the very least that BM is still alive, which I know is the most important thing given that I think a lot of people here genuinely care about his wellbeing.
The bad news is we are coming up in the 1 year anniversary of this video with no updates so I think the probability that he’s retired from YT is quite high.
We’ve stuck it out and continued to contribute to the Patreon because he’s a legend, we care about him, and you can consider it back pay for all the times YT demonetized a video. But if you’re at the point where you no longer want to contribute financially, I think you have the right to stop for now. I’ve been giving at the $6/month level and there are other things I want to support with that money.
If he comes back though, I’ll be back

Yeah that was me, I saw him on Steam and he’s active there got a few game and got the 2024 Steam Replay in December, so he’s still active.
The Eagle With No Name
2025-03-15 00:05:26 +0000 UTC
Recent YT comments have pointed out that BigMooney is active on Steam! Hopefully, that means that he’s playing games for fun + recovering from YouTube burnout
While I would love a direct update from BM, I hope he’s doing better. Fingers crossed that he uploads sometime this year

Look at it as balancing out how many times YT fucked him over with demonetization. If he’s not back by the 1 year mark then do what you have to do. Most of us are fine with it because of the fact he’s made so many people laugh during some shit times.

Mooney we all understand you need a break and you’re not obligated to tell us anything, but it’d be great to know why that Hitman video never came and why you’ve been gone for so long again after coming back and making it sound like you were coming back. Even if you just told us you’re not coming back, at least we’d know. You’ve also kept this running the entire time and if you’re not coming back that’s a bit scummy. I hope that’s not the case and would like to believe it isn’t, but the silence is concerning.

From a Reddit comment:
“Yeah everyone is worried about BM.
His fans tried to contanct his brother’s band to see if he is ok and sending messages and e-mails to him.
His editors and he said he’s ok just need a break, check out his Patreon for the MGS 5 video he uploaded to explain the whole situation.
He said he was going to upload a Hitman video within a few weeks when he posted that vid in August but that’s been long gone.
I just hope he’s doing well and safe.”

It’s BigMooney’s choice if/when he returns to YT
I believe that if BigMooney ever decides to retire, he would suspend his Patreon: since he wouldn’t be able to fulfill the promised perks
Since this Patreon is still active, I’m optimistic he will eventually return. I think he’s on an extended break, and he will come back better than ever
Fingers crossed 🤞

Hey Big Yin. Missed you.
Like everyone else here I am hoping you are well and that life is treating you good. I really, really hope you get back into creating videos. There is simply nothing like them on the internet.
It is my hope that with the new glut of games coming that you will confect another character ala Paddy or WanBaw or Big Gordo for one or more of these titles. If you are on the starting line when things like GTA come I reckon the infamous Youtube algorithm will see that and, given that everyone currently subbed will watch it, you will get pushed for these newer titles.
Thats me being selfish in a way I suppose, i know. But regardless of what happens I want you to know that i and several of my friends who adore your content wish you the very, very best and hope that all is good.
Very long time fan.

Everyone feels a grind Mooney. We all love the content you put out, from 15 minute to an hour long videos. Play games you find fun, because chances are we will love anything you produce. I personally love L.A. Noir, RoboCop, and other games you played on a whim. You playing max Payne 3 got me to play the series. Much love from America.

And like the elusive target he is, Mooney has disappeared into the ether again. It’s a shame the Hitman content ended up dominating the channel because I laughed just as much watching the Fallout 4, Max Payne, Sniper Elite, Mafia, LA Noire and RoboCop playthroughs. “Whadda scared asshole!” Still makes me laugh to this day. We miss you Mooney.
Steamed Ham Champion Dillon Haggett
2024-09-11 14:23:05 +0000 UTC
If you're feeling the grind of having to produce hitman content...don't. Just produce fun stuff you enjoy. Your best content is when you're just pissing about. Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is due in March, try playing the first game...it's got some great moments and it's ripe for pissing about in. But ultimately, do what you enjoy and bollocks to the algorithm.

Holy fuck the legend is back! So glad to hear you’re alright Mooney! Was getting concerned. “Next Hitman video in a couple of days.” two weeks later. Love ya Mooney, but announcing things has never been your strong suit.
Can’t wait for you to get back into LA Noire and RoboCop Rogue City. I replayed LA Noire and finished it again when you started the series and I bought Rogue City when I got my PS5 and finished it because of your playthrough. I can’t wait for you to finish both because they’re such great games. There’s also undoubtedly some comedy gold waiting for you to make in them. Anyway so glad you’re back and doing well!

Hey Mooney, glad to see you’re back and more importantly that you’re well. Remember, there’s a reason we here on patreon elect to give you our money, it’s because you make excellent videos; and whilst I can’t speak for everyone, I’ll take quality over quantity any day of the week, even if that day is three months away. That being said, don’t make a habit of it, we were worried. The silence was deafening. As to ideas for games to play my suggestion would be Kingdom Come: Deliverance, it’s a first person rpg set in medieval Bohemia, it’s something of an acquired taste, but once you have gotten a taste for it nothing else quite scratches that itch. I returned to it after an initial false start and got hooked. I think it would work well for one of your long form series (Medieval Macgraw maybe?). Also, it has a sequel planned for release this year so it could be good for the whole chasing the YouTube algorithm.

2024-07-26 05:59:22 +0000 UTC
Great to hear from you again! You don't have to share anything more than you want to, but you really are the reason we watch your videos. I mean, we could go to a thousand different channels to watch someone play Hitman, or LA Noir, or any other game. Most of them say little to nothing. It's how you play, making a mostly serious game into a hilarious comedy, and your commentary while you do it. Nobody has the same style of gameplay, commentary and editing as you do. You're the main focus. You're what makes your videos fun and hilarious, not the games.

It’s been said already but do what you need to do for yourself. I love your content but you as a person are more important. You have a great personality and are genuinely funny, I’d rather have quality videos sparsely put out at your convenience than you breaking your brain to churn out videos where you aren’t yourself just for “content” and “engagement”. Glad to hear you’re doing well man, I haven’t watched the new video yet but I am looking forward to it!
Also, not sure if it’s been echoed here but with the release of Fallout London (assuming it’s an actually runable game and not shit) I would love to see a Scotsman in the post-war Kingdom, for what it’s worth 🏴

Just to echo the same sentiment, but don’t ever feel like you need to apologize for taking care of yourself and trying to avoid burnout. I am currently going through a major career change for similar reasons so I completely see where you are coming from.

Glad you're doing better man. I can only empathize with how people can burn out on creative work. Can be a lot tougher than people think.

I am so happy you aren’t dead or in jail. I subscribed to your Patreon solely hoping to hear this news. Though, with how much I enjoy your vids, I’m not sure why I hadn’t before.

Hey man, so glad you are doing ok. I know what it's like to get burned out on making things burned out on life, burned out from stress and work. I have had severe anxiety my whole life and have had to work very hard to learn coping mechanisms and how to deal with it. (Your videos have been so helpful for me over the years when I am having a down moment)I understand how how hard it can all be and how draining it is. I am feeling stuck in my life now too and my job is so stressful I have been trying to reduce my hours so I can get the energy to work in my spare time towards a new career. Other people's life issue of course have gotten in the way and so it's not going as smoothly as I would like. But just hearing from you and that things are OK is a breath of fresh air. When people go radio silent it is hard not to worry about what may have happened. I am looking forward to the rest of Robocop!

(continued, mobile site bah) I'm very glad to see you pop up again in my notifications. I know I'm just one person who you don't know, but you are easily my favorite content creator, and I'm glad to see you again. I haven't watched the video yet, but I'm happy you are doing okay. Thanks for everything you do, truly. :)

So I didn't reach out, felt like it would be too intrusive, but I honestly was quite concerned, I'm glad you're doing okay. I have been watching your content for years (I think I started with HM 2016? a tad before?), it's always a treat, and I was worried that maybe you had thrown in the towel, or maybe something worse.

Glad you are OK. Was noticing after a while and got worried. Happens to the best of us. I only have like a few hundred people watch my occasional somewhat well edited shitposts, but I understand how much work constantly editing and making videos can be.

Burnout can be a horrible burden Mooney, so it’s great to hear you’ve swerved it for now. No job, hobby or pastime should cause you undue stress without a way to relieve it, so if you need to take a break, there’s a whole community of people out here who support you doing that.
Really glad you’re taking care of yourself, and looking forward to whatever you do next!

Welcome back!! I’m so glad you took the time for you, proud of you for recognizing the need and just doing what you need to do.
I love your videos precisely because they’re not about you, they’re about the mundane ridiculousness of this hobby we love especially in these super serious games. Your videos always cheer me up because I get to look at a world with fresh eyes and you pointing out all the strangeness of situations. And when there isn’t enough strangeness, well, you always manufacture some!!
Happy to see you thriving, looking forward to watching the video

Man Mooney you’ve been missed. I get why you’d want and need a break after the intensity of the past few years alone let alone how long you’ve done YT. I’m just hoping everything is okay for you now and take it easy getting back in the swing of things 🙏

Great to hear from you boss, we've all been worried about you and wishing you the best, and of course after reading your post I think I can speak for everyone as well in that we understand and respect your decision to have taken some time off to recharge and refocus, I can't imagine the work that goes into recording, editing and posting these videos on a regular basis for our entertainment, it must be truly exhausting. Anyway, thanks for opening up here (no easy feat) and whatever you decide to put out, know it'll be gladly received by us your audience. Nae pressure!

You know what if we are speaking up. I got a bit lost over the Covid lock downs and my mental health dwindled a bit, I live on my own and when I found your channels all I would watch is your videos as they were honest and natural and obviously funny after I got over your horrendous Scottish accent that is 😂😉

As others have said, and in the most non-invasive and friendly way possible, I was worried and am grateful that it sounds like you’re doing better! Nothing wrong with taking a break and doing the right thing for yourself and your wellbeing. Hope all is on the up-and-up!

We're glad to hear you're back!! We missed you, and I hope you had a restful break, especially if YouTube was unfortunately wearing you down. Keep your head up high, Mooney, and never worry about taking breaks in the future if you need them! ♥️

Glad to hear from you mate! Just so glad you're feeling good enough to be back and thank you for just being honest when you didn't have to be! I understand why you want to keep the videos and your life separate which is perfectly understandable but I think I speak for a lot of people when I say we're here for you and not necessarily the games, which is why so many of us were kinda worried! Sending you love from me and my gf Mooney, glad to have you back!

I’m sure I speak for everybody when I say this, but I for one am glad you’re just okay. Though it is none of our business, thank you for giving an update. Never forget that for some of us, you’re more than just a YouTuber. You’ve helped many people through their own mental pits. Glad you’re well Mooney.

To be honest with you I was genuinely worried about you for a little bit there but I am so happy to see that you're back even if it's gonna be a slow return. I get that things can wear you down and I'm glad you've had the time to recover. I genuinely love your videos and I can't wait to see where you take the channel in future. Keep being awesome dude!
