@XBOX I Hope This Is GOOD EXCELLENT GAME For Some Fans But I Hope They Remastered "The Legend Of Spyro Trilogy Edition" That Way They Will Team Up With Toys For Bob , Activision , And Unreal Engine 5 To Remastered Cuz I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THEM BRING IT BACK AS A SPYRO LEGEND SERIES!🤘💛
My thoughts as someone who has followed and enjoyed the journey of "The card evaluating trio" (Rarran, CGB, Cimo) since the very start.
(Small note: I only write 1 "o" in his name for this post, I know there are 8)
I am by no means a diehard Cimo watcher or anything and I don't want to pretend I am, in fact I don't even consume that much YGO contents on YouTube, but I've watched every single episodes of the trio so many times that I can't count.
I can't really explain why I keep listening/watching their card evaluating videos, maybe because of my general interest in multiple card games, maybe because they are funny, maybe because of the interesting (card gaming) history lessons that I learn, or maybe all of the above. They just "click".
Out of the 3 games (YGO, MtG, HS), I have the most experience with YGO, so naturally I'm a lot more judging when I watch his videos. I've voiced my concerns with how wrong he is in some videos, and at some points, I consider Cimo the weakest link in the trio. But then I realized, it has to be these 3 people, and there's no suitable replacement for any of them.
Cimo and his weirdly placed competitive spirits in these videos really made them much more interesting, and have much more "stakes" even though there's no real winning here. He did such a good job as an entertainer: keep the audience entertained. Is it the experience from doing YouTube for so long? I went back to watch some episodes Rarran did with other YGO creators before Cimo, and they just aren't the same.
That's how the voices of these 3 people have always been a part of my life for the last 2 years. I bought Premium so I can listen to them uninterrupted. I subscribed to a mobile data plan with unlimited YouTube data (yes we have something like that here) so I can always listen to them on the go. My YouTube main screen always have a video of them as a suggestion. I just tune into a random episode and listen when I commute to work. When I go on vacation, I download a few of them to listen to when I'm on the plane. And most of the times I listen to them before I sleep.
Now back to the present. I've noticed the absence of their videos recently, and I knew this day would eventually come. To be clear, I wish the best for Cimo and I WANT HIM TO WIN HIS BATTLE, but I also know it's not as easy as saying. The worst thing could happen at any time, and that time just happened to be... today.
At the time, I didn't know it. But his last collab video is him, CGB, Rarran and Voxy playing a commander game, and having a blast. I'm sad that he's gone, but a small part of me is happy that he was able to be there, at the table with his card games friends, and just having a great time. And in the spirit of commander format, as long as you all had fun, that's all that matters.
Farewell, Cimoooooooo... We will all miss you, as you are truly irreplaceable.
Even as someone who never played Yu-Gi-Oh competitively, I've always liked watching his casual video series like The History of Yu-Gi-Oh, Progression Series and The Auction Series.
TCG YouTube lost one of the best creators and personalities out there, who entertained many of us (myself included) during difficult times like the pandemic.
Rest in Peace Cimo 😓
