    Default Goodbye Roke

    I've had a blast playing the game from its inception and I'm very thankful for all the cool people who've criticized/embraced my works over the years. However, the day has come for me in my life where videogames are a thing of the past and so I just wanted to say one last thank you to all of you for giving me a platform to express my creativity.

    I'm going to be taking down my channel by the end of the week as I transition into the next phase of my life. If you want to keep a copy of my videos feel free as I certainly won't be keeping any mementos going forward.

    Cheers and all the best in 2014 and beyond!

    Sincerely,

    -Roke

    whyyyyy, you don't have to delete your channel! It's not keeping you behind is it?? Gaming certainly has become a smaller part in my life than it was before and I don't see the need for leaving us completely

    The truth is gaming and everything associated with it was an addiction for me of sorts and so I'm going to be removing my presence on all forums etc etc to give myself a clean slate. Don't worry, there will be no 'random' name changes or aliases; I'm comfortable with my decision now and I'm pursuing grad school to get to my ultimate goal of being in sports management. I will always love skateboarding, it's been a big part of my life and I intend in the future to give back to a sport that's given me so much joy. Part of that though is getting out of the virtual realm and embracing real life.

    For those like you who know how to contact me, I'll never be unreachable; I just gotta do what I gotta do

    I want the 5-in-1 debauchery at the community center video, but you hid all the videos on your vibez channel.

    I wish you all the best and good luck with your future endeavours, whatever these might be. I always very much enjoyed the creativity and input you shared and displayed through this forum, so I thank you for that.

    Cheers, and godspeed.

    One of the first fake skate vids I watched was 1 of yours, when you were vibezz, now to see you go. Never really knew you but you helped me get into fake skating.
    Good luck in your life.

    Cheers guys

    Derk I'm sorry I wish I could send it to you but I hadn't logged into that profile in 2yrs or so and I have no idea of the password now that google is integrated into youtube . Deleted all the clips, former vids and unfinished projects off my comp last fall so I unfortunately have no backups.

    Edit: contacted youtube and they got it back for me, here you go:

    Also all those vids should be public now (no idea how they got private). Sidenote, in many of my login attempts I somehow got into Lupe Mos account lmao. He created one using my old ass email address smh

    Best wishes, man. Your "Trash Bin Series - Soul Food" was the first video I watched when I started out on Lb. Sad to see you leave. You were one of the best guys in the community.
