Quote from The Wounded Stapler:
"First of all, I wanted to say thank you all for being an amazing influence in my life!

I remember when I randomly decided to start playing TF2 and figured that making a first impressions video was the way to go, and through a random stroke of luck I remembered this community and posted the video here in anticipation
of people telling me how much I suck and why I should quit, instead I got accepted with open arms and you guys showed me the true value of a community! If you would've asked me when I first started The Wounded Stapler what my plans were for the channel, I would've told you guys that I wanted to keep making funny YouTube videos on TF2. Boy, did that change. It's been almost an entire year since I first met you folks, and I've been coming back here with news of going from pub to competitive, from competitive back to pub and from funny TF2 videos to commentaries, and from commentaries to college and college to acting and eventually doing stand up comedy and realizing what I wanted to do all along.. Put a smile on people's face and make them a happier a person in general!

I've added many of you on Steam, I've spent counteless hours on TF2 and doing different collaboration projects such as Specast with Kevin, and increasing my comp. knowledge via streaming all while having you awesome Tf.Tv folk behind my back! I wanted to say thank you for the experience and memories, you guys definitely made 2014 a year that i'll never forget, and hopefully we'll have many more awesome years to come!

With that being said, about 8 months ago, I did a livestream of my first ever comp. match and it had started so many friendships that I still cherish to this day and to be honest with you folks, my first comp. experience was incredible due to the all the support that was shown that day so I decided to make a commentary that I initially scrapped, but looking through and listening to it again and looking at a younger version of my self brought tears to my eyes and it made me feel extremely nostalgic about the days that had passed and it made me hopeful for the days to come in the future.

Without further ado, I present to you guys, a blast from the past! "
