It's been 10 years to the day since That Sodding Gamer uploaded the notorious katana unboxing video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jb3UobSZl34

The video is probably most notable for the "It's tape" meme it spawned, featuring That Sodding Gamer's younger brother:



Which was hilariously parodied by goons in a number of ways


This video still runs through my head frequently. The cadence and mannerisms of TSG are genuinely fascinating; the only other notable videos featuring him in profile are the cutting video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGLSQthlbH4

And the zombie apocalypse video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfzVcMm8dQM

It's worth noting that his channel is still active making Let's Plays, but it's disappointing that we haven't seen what he looks like 10 years on (he's likely apprehensive about putting any videos of himself online after the backlash from the unboxing video). What does he look like now? What does he do for a living? Maybe we will never know.

Still freaks me out the way he says “katana”.

I assumed that if he was the kind of guy to order a katana in the mail, he probably knew the right pronunciation. But no.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
I always laugh at this video. It's brought me so much joy

football.

there is a very creepy moment around 4 mins in when he's like, "well it certainly looks very sharp, doesn't it? yeah, I can certainly believe that it could cut through just about anything"

also I used to know a guy that practiced katana skills by fighting with wooden "katanas" in the front yard with his brother

can anyone explain why the nerdiest people love Japanese culture so much?

Wouldn't you assume... the opposite based on the fact he ordered a katana in the mail?

She's a maniac, maniac

And she's dancing like she's never danced before
I watch this video every few years, whenever it pops into my mind. And you're right, he's still making random let's play videos. Very strange dude (and family, from what I can tell), but he seems happy playing 20+ year old video games so who am I to judge

I’m pretty surprised we haven’t heard of this guy going on some katana murder spree

I’m not saying it never happened, just surprised that he didn’t make a blog post or something afterwards

The majority of Japanese pop culture is built around escaping your miserable life. The more traditional feudalism stuff is just part of it by default.

He probably works in a video game store. Seems nice enough. I wouldn't be surprised if any offsite goons stalked and harassed him over the years.
