Hey to anyone watching these videos over again. Kind of funny to think this is when we were first able to hear much about Iconic Arms/RetroAhoy as a big focus, especially when hearing Stu's worry about if it'll do well. It did, buddy. Much more than you could've ever thought. Good job, Stu.
I've gotten to the point where, while I still really enjoy the weapons guides Stu produces, I've grown to love the bonus videos even more. Keep up the great work, Stu, and congrats on finishing the BO2 weapons!
+ The cool pictures of (I suppose the real life vehicles), and the background music, and the graphic text slides he does between game clips, it's a recipe for epicness!
Weapon Guides, Programming, Gaming, Drinks Ahoy, Behind the Scenes, Bonus Videos, A Mini Series, General Gaming Content, being a boyfriend and looking after yourself, cats and the house.. I thought there were only 24 hours in the day?
It is most important that you enjoy doing what you do. Don't try to do what is going to get the most money, do what you are genuinely interested in. People are drawn to people that enjoy their work. All in all, just do what you like, Stu. I think everyone here is thinking the same.
The hexagon is divided into 10 parts, and by the way the hexagon appears when Stuart introduces Pick-Ten elements, I think it is a representation of the Pick-Ten system.
A documentary with Stu? BLOODY BRILLIANT!!! I'd watch a documentary with ANY theme as long as if it's Stu for the voice alone. Heck, I'd listen to him reading from the Ikea catalog! >:D
Every gun shop I've been in as well, ha. Mines a 1939 Tula. I've shot an enfield before and it definitely is a smooth action, light kicking rifle. I think it was ahead of its time and possibley the best combat rifle during its lifetime. But I love the Mosin for it's simplicity. It's the same reason I have an AK. Simple and rugged has a certain charm to it. At least in my book.
I have two questions for you Stu, 1. Have you played The Last of Us? 2. What games are you getting this holiday season? (GTAV/Watch Dogs/Pokemon) Also are you going to create content for any of the titles you're picking up?
Have you ever decided that you didn't feel like using whatever weapon you were working on for the next weapon guide and just used another weapon, even some you haven't completed the guide for yet? If so, which ones (besides the sniper rifles) did you get tired/annoyed with? BTW, once again, another excellent series. Congrats on the finish and enjoy your "time off".
I do agree with most your points. My taste for the Mosin Nagant stems from the simplicity of it. Something about simple machines/design it appealing to me. And I suppose the fact that I own a Mosin has skewed my opnion of it slightly. I'd love an Enfield but I'd only pony up the dough for an Ishapore A2. The 303 British caliber is sadly very hard to find while 7.62x51, I can buy just down the road. PS - 303 British more devastating than 7.62x54R? I'm not entirely convinced of this
I totally agree, most Call Of Duty players don't know how the first one was, the first CoD is pretty good, if not the best in the series. I'm still playing this on my PC
Oh I didn't know the 303 round was designed to tumble. I guess that's something else that it had that was ahead of it's time. I personally love how little it kicks. It's more of a firm push than a kick. Compare that to the Mosin which starts to sting after a while, haha.
Hey Stu, for your Drinks Ahoy channel, have you thought about brewing your own beers and doing how to videos on them? It would require a considerable investment of time (and maybe money too depending on the costs of ingredients and supplies), but it's a unique concept that could be fun for you to do. Just a suggestion.
Last year you said it's a possibility to cover the very first Call of Duty now at it's 10th anniversary.I think that would be especially interesting,since the majority of the current CoD players have no idea how different the first one was compared to the second one,and especially to the Console CoDs(MW2 onward).
FINALLY SOMEONE WHO PRONOUNCES GIF RIGHT but stu, do you like the Legend of Zelda series and would you mind if say 10 or so years from now we had some ports of the classics to the One?
Hey Stu, Do you like Fallout 3? If so, then would you think about planning some videos for the weapons in the game. It would be much appreciated P.S Your videos are top-notch, keep up the good work !!!
Stu you have the perfect voice for a disclaimer... Actually, you have the perfect voice for anything but I bet it took you more than one try to say that in one
Stu, on the note of future potential plans for your channel, ever consider something like class build guides for WRPGs, like Skyrim or Dragon Age? Your voice and delivery would lend well to something of the sort I think. Your thoughts?
Have you considered doing a just-for-fun Let's Play of something unexpected like a classic nintendo game or something? I think it would be pretty appealing to see you playing something like Pokemon...it could even replace your "BO2 Bonus" videos since you won't have any footage to do more bonuses like this in the next few months :P
Stu,you are awesome! I like your guides, i allways looked forward to the next one after i finished watching. But one thing i think you should do is revive Behind The Lines. Gunfanatics would love it! Your voice plus all the ins and outs on the guns would be most entertaining. Plus all those Call Of Duty players get a nice education on how the guns from the game do in real life. Just think about it, support all the way!
During Ghosts, have you thought of doing a once-a-month Weapon Class guide? Like SMG guide or Marksman Rifle guide with a couple of class setups in it.
Hey stu! I have a question or two which ill get to now. Will you ever do racing game content on your main channel? You did your tdu2 series on your second channel which was awesome, but then nothing else really like it. I think a forza 4 or forza horizon play through would be amazing! Doesnt have to be on your main channel, I'd honestly be happy with just a simple play through on your second channel.
Stu, I know you like Call of Duty a bunch as you make guides for it but I know you also like classic shooters so: Which do you like more? Regenerating health or health packs or another form of maintaining your progress in a game. Personally I find health packs to keep the game more fast paced, sure you may have a hunt or two looking for one when you're hurting but the alternative is sitting behind walls frequently with jam on your face.
Hiya Stu, I have two q's that will tickle that refined fancy of yours: Numero Uno: What are your current plans for Behind the Lines? Having watched your bonus footages since the original Black Ops, and you promoting a new video since then, fans of the series such as me would appreciate an update. Secondly, what is your opinion of the Crash Bandicoot series? The first ever games I played on console where Crash Team Racing and Crash Bash and they admittedly coloured my opinion of Crash, so wbu?
Stu, what are the chances of you doing a bonus footage using an entire gameplay, instead of just clips? It will give an interesting insight into how you play your classes, and why you select those classes in the first place.
Hi Stu, what kind of controller do you use? I mean like Scuf Gaming, default or something else... Anyways, keep up the good work and greetings from Estonia!
Xbox Ahoy, I think it's really good you start including different game videos to your channel. Look at TotalBiscuit, he started off as a World of Warcraft channel, now look! He's my go-to guy for gaming content, and I feel you'll be going down a similar route. Good luck to you sir!
Hey, congratulations on finishing the Black Ops 2 guides. Do you have any interest in the inFAMOUS series? Have you ever given consideration to videos about inFAMOUS: Second Son when that comes out?
For breakfast: Bacon or sausage? OJ or cranberry juice? Coffee or tea? Omelet or scrambled eggs? Whole wheat or white toast? Waffles or pancakes? Ketchup or maple syrup? Apple, orange or banana?? Great series also.
So Stuart, what are your plans for Call of Duty: Ghosts? Will you do separate weapon guides or guides for each class of weapons? If you don't know yet please answer it in one of the future bonus videos.
Stu, did you watch the Ghosts MP reveal? And if so, what are your thoughts on it now that we've had a real look at many of the in-game features, improvements and changes, as well as actual gameplay?
You once mentioned wanting to do some VA work in the CoD series, hoping to be the person who gives the player tips, like switching to your secondary is faster than reloading. Did that idea go anywhere, did you discuss it with Activision or anything?
Stuart have you ever considered doing a kill streak guide? Perhaps just on the interesting/new ones? I think I and a good chunk of your audience would find it intriguing.
In my opinion I believe that he would take the deal and after that continue doing guides for CoD and maybe continue BF guides in the future on the side.
Stu, would you like to try pronouncing my username? Here you said it "Bit Bit" but it's in finnish prounciation with double vocals. And what do you think of Finland? In the mg36 bonus it was cleared that you dont really like salmiakki, even though you made a whole video for salmari. And have you ever drank Karhu or Karjala?
Hey to anyone watching these videos over again.
Kind of funny to think this is when we were first able to hear much about Iconic Arms/RetroAhoy as a big focus, especially when hearing Stu's worry about if it'll do well.
It did, buddy. Much more than you could've ever thought.
Good job, Stu.
Very much so. I don't watch them as much to be honest... but...
I still do, and overall its great to see him do even better. c:
Quote of the Year:
"Stu, where are the videos?!"
"I can't hear you, I'm on a yacht."
i must say, Stu. in all the 3 years I've been watching your weapon guides i think this has been your finest series. bravo.
And now it starts... all the glorious bonus footages from the rest of the guides.
I've gotten to the point where, while I still really enjoy the weapons guides Stu produces, I've grown to love the bonus videos even more. Keep up the great work, Stu, and congrats on finishing the BO2 weapons!
+ The cool pictures of (I suppose the real life vehicles), and the background music, and the graphic text slides he does between game clips, it's a recipe for epicness!
Mr Stuart, your playthorughs were top-notch and I look forward to what new things you bring for me to enjoy.
I love hearing Stuart talk outside of the weapon guide. Awesome voice Stuart! Keep up the excellent work.
Right at the end, where he said, "Farewell." combined with Nuketown blowing up...Genius!!
Probably a Gen7 title. Bioshock Infinite, Last of Us, GTA V.
Weapon Guides, Programming, Gaming, Drinks Ahoy, Behind the Scenes, Bonus Videos, A Mini Series, General Gaming Content, being a boyfriend and looking after yourself, cats and the house..
I thought there were only 24 hours in the day?
I watched most of your Black Ops II weapon guides, didn't even own or play the game. I came for the quality :)
You've got a great voice for documentary work, Stu. Looking forward to seeing your more experimental content,
It is most important that you enjoy doing what you do. Don't try to do what is going to get the most money, do what you are genuinely interested in. People are drawn to people that enjoy their work. All in all, just do what you like, Stu. I think everyone here is thinking the same.
I loved the drinks ahoy channel, ive been waiting for that for awhile.
Excited about the new content - especially DrinksAhoy! Congrats on finishing your series. I'd certainly buy you a celebratory pint, Stu!
Stu, here's a billion pounds if you promise to NEVER stop producing these amazing videos!
The vauge "weapons in video games" idea sounds very interesting. looking forward to it
"I can't hear you; I'm on a yacht." - Stu 2013
The grill on the alley in Manchester does a nice whiskey old fashioned, it's slightly smoked as well.
its ok captain price, we're all sad about soap's death, we feel your pain.
I heard "pun-tage" and became way more excited then I should have.
your sarcastic dry humor is amazing
Am I the only one that actually likes these bonus videos more than the normal videos?
"I can't hear you....I'm on a yacht."
Classic.
The hexagon is divided into 10 parts, and by the way the hexagon appears when Stuart introduces Pick-Ten elements, I think it is a representation of the Pick-Ten system.
"Everything's going to be gravy." I love gravy!
xbox ahoy you never fail to entertain me
"Animated Jifs?" I always said it like "Gifs" with a G
A documentary with Stu? BLOODY BRILLIANT!!! I'd watch a documentary with ANY theme as long as if it's Stu for the voice alone. Heck, I'd listen to him reading from the Ikea catalog! >:D

I have two questions for you Stu,
1. Have you played The Last of Us?
2. What games are you getting this holiday season? (GTAV/Watch Dogs/Pokemon) Also are you going to create content for any of the titles you're picking up?
I'd like to see some of that Skyriming you've been doing. Between you and Gophervids, there would be no shortage of well-spoken Skyrim content!
Please do retro ahoy ,its always amazing to see games i use to play as a Kid .
The timing o that farewell...brilliant!!
Have you ever decided that you didn't feel like using whatever weapon you were working on for the next weapon guide and just used another weapon, even some you haven't completed the guide for yet? If so, which ones (besides the sniper rifles) did you get tired/annoyed with? BTW, once again, another excellent series. Congrats on the finish and enjoy your "time off".

PS - 303 British more devastating than 7.62x54R? I'm not entirely convinced of this
Stu, have you ever considered starting up a weekly podcast? I really enjoy just listening to you talk about various topics.
Stu could talk over a video of paint drying and somehow I'd still find it interesting no matter what he was talking about.
"I can't hear you, I'm on a yacht!"
I totally agree, most Call Of Duty players don't know how the first one was, the first CoD is pretty good, if not the best in the series. I'm still playing this on my PC
Dear Stuart, Why are you so awesome? Thank you and keep up the good work.
Oh I didn't know the 303 round was designed to tumble. I guess that's something else that it had that was ahead of it's time. I personally love how little it kicks. It's more of a firm push than a kick. Compare that to the Mosin which starts to sting after a while, haha.

I look forward to this documentary
Can't wait for what's next! Great job Stu!
i would listen to a 24 hour podcast of you saying the word 'dog' anytime.
FINALLY SOMEONE WHO PRONOUNCES GIF RIGHT but stu, do you like the Legend of Zelda series and would you mind if say 10 or so years from now we had some ports of the classics to the One?
Hey Stu, Do you like Fallout 3? If so, then would you think about planning some videos for the weapons in the game. It would be much appreciated P.S Your videos are top-notch, keep up the good work !!!
Do a play through of Skyrim, it'd be quite amazing to watch you and your amazing voice combined with Skyrim.
You should do a documentary on 1st person shooters from the pass, present and the future of shooters
DRINKS AHOY... ZOMBIE PERK-A-COLAS... *dies of awesomeness of idea*
Stu you have the perfect voice for a disclaimer... Actually, you have the perfect voice for anything but I bet it took you more than one try to say that in one
you're extremely equivocal stu, keep up the good work
Stu, on the note of future potential plans for your channel, ever consider something like class build guides for WRPGs, like Skyrim or Dragon Age? Your voice and delivery would lend well to something of the sort I think. Your thoughts?
It's funny how he talked about the future in every Question...
I a pretty sure he is a hired killer. Listen to that silky smooth man sounds come out of his mouth. That is so contract killer
"I can't hear you, I'm on a yacht" XD
I'd love normal let's plays, your voice is wonderful.
Come to Chesterfield, cocktail bar called "Chandlers", they're brilliant. They'll make anything, including Pangalactic Gargleblasters.
Yeah, I don't even play call of duty, I just love Stu's personality.
I hardly careabout what you say, your voice makes' me relax!
Have you considered doing a just-for-fun Let's Play of something unexpected like a classic nintendo game or something? I think it would be pretty appealing to see you playing something like Pokemon...it could even replace your "BO2 Bonus" videos since you won't have any footage to do more bonuses like this in the next few months :P

best description of tumblr, ever
XboxAhoy, have you ever heard of the PC title "Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad"? It's recent DLC "Rising Storm" has gained a lot of popularity.
It's ok Stu. I've been sold out for much less than 1 billion pounds...
Stu, keep making good videos, I'll keep watching them.
Hey stu! I have a question or two which ill get to now. Will you ever do racing game content on your main channel? You did your tdu2 series on your second channel which was awesome, but then nothing else really like it. I think a forza 4 or forza horizon play through would be amazing! Doesnt have to be on your main channel, I'd honestly be happy with just a simple play through on your second channel.
Not bad of an idea Stu. Keep it up and get the break you deserve.
Stu, I know you like Call of Duty a bunch as you make guides for it but I know you also like classic shooters so:
Which do you like more? Regenerating health or health packs or another form of maintaining your progress in a game.
Personally I find health packs to keep the game more fast paced, sure you may have a hunt or two looking for one when you're hurting but the alternative is sitting behind walls frequently with jam on your face.

That disclaimer was hilarious. GW!
enemy's = enemy is
enemies = the plural of enemy.
Thanks for answering my question Stu! :) Although the ramblings about Tumblr and GIF Porn were kinda unexpected :P
Hi Stu, what kind of controller do you use? I mean like Scuf Gaming, default or something else... Anyways, keep up the good work and greetings from Estonia!
Xbox Ahoy, I think it's really good you start including different game videos to your channel. Look at TotalBiscuit, he started off as a World of Warcraft channel, now look! He's my go-to guy for gaming content, and I feel you'll be going down a similar route. Good luck to you sir!
Hey, congratulations on finishing the Black Ops 2 guides.
Do you have any interest in the inFAMOUS series? Have you ever given consideration to videos about inFAMOUS: Second Son when that comes out?
"I can't hear you, im on a yacht" ahahahah
Just once in my life I would like to have reason to say, "I can't hear you. I'M ON A YACHT!"
Stu, ever had a Dark and Stormy? (Black Seal Rum and Ginger Beer) What is a cocktail you've never had before that you're excited to have?
Do you keep all the clips and voiceovers on a hard drive or do you just delet them, once the video is uploaded?
For breakfast: Bacon or sausage? OJ or cranberry juice? Coffee or tea? Omelet or scrambled eggs? Whole wheat or white toast? Waffles or pancakes? Ketchup or maple syrup? Apple, orange or banana?? Great series also.
yes he has and he posted the video of him doing it
looking forward to your new content Stu!! i dont play cod anymore but i still enjoy your videos keep up the good work!
Hey Stu, who are your favourite youtubers? also, how are the cats?
Hurray he's not dead!
So Stuart, what are your plans for Call of Duty: Ghosts? Will you do separate weapon guides or guides for each class of weapons? If you don't know yet please answer it in one of the future bonus videos.
Because he did all of the weapons, genius
Stu, did you watch the Ghosts MP reveal? And if so, what are your thoughts on it now that we've had a real look at many of the in-game features, improvements and changes, as well as actual gameplay?
Been waitin on this for a while stu. Thanks
You once mentioned wanting to do some VA work in the CoD series, hoping to be the person who gives the player tips, like switching to your secondary is faster than reloading. Did that idea go anywhere, did you discuss it with Activision or anything?
Stu, what's your go-to game mode for leveling up the weapons? And what is your favorite game mode for just hanging out and having fun?
Stuart have you ever considered doing a kill streak guide? Perhaps just on the interesting/new ones? I think I and a good chunk of your audience would find it intriguing.
In my opinion I believe that he would take the deal and after that continue doing guides for CoD and maybe continue BF guides in the future on the side.
Stu, would you like to try pronouncing my username? Here you said it "Bit Bit" but it's in finnish prounciation with double vocals. And what do you think of Finland? In the mg36 bonus it was cleared that you dont really like salmiakki, even though you made a whole video for salmari. And have you ever drank Karhu or Karjala?
Hey Xbox ahoy since you said you would do videos on other games do you think Gran Turismo 5 would be one of the games?
