Formerly known as Joe F and Startug, same owner. This is somewhat of a variety channel that may evolve into more commentary, with older videos planned for removal due to copyright.

I doubt anyone remembers being subscribed to me, but if you are, I'm the same guy 17 years after creating the channel for various reasons. Formerly known as Joe F and Startug in some circles. I wanted to let you know that I am taking down a good majority of my videos soon. They won't be lost, but they don't fit with the direction I would like to take the channel this year and I'd like to clear this channel of potential copyright issues coming back on me for uploads I did forever ago. I intend to become more documentary and original content-oriented as I've been meaning to do for a long time, but not fully realizing my opportunities until now.

Here's what's changing:

- For the Laurel and Hardy content, I'm moving all of this to the Internet Archive and will reference it later. While I don't consider the archival project of finding all the 1980s syndication episodes and promotional material complete, it's not going to make progress without help. I will return to this topic in the future.
- The Gordon Crash series is likely to stay as there is sentimental value to those videos, and I'd like to touch more on their creation in a future video.

- The Dr. Katz theme will be hosted elsewhere as no one else has it up on here for some reason.
- The RDR II videos are staying, there's some big stuff coming regarding that game that will be released late this year and I feel will be a good stepping stone to the channel's future. Not that I'm going into exclusive RDR II content, but you'll see what I mean later.

- GTA V: if it's just clips with no copyright music, it'll probably stay or be compiled into a new video. If there's copyright, I'm taking it down. I don't think anyone's watching that stuff and frankly it's not my best work.
- Misc. videos that are unlisted or privated: these are coming down as well. If you don't know what they are, then you're not missing out.
