IT'S THE YEAR OF THE MAIN CHANNEL BOYS LET'S GOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

wirtual: it might seem crazy to cry tears of joy over a video game me, crying despite not even having done it: yeah totally

Your fall at 97% resonated with me so much. I'm a competitive ballroom dancer and my partner and I won everywhere we went and made it all the way to Nationals, where we finished in 2nd place. It is a proud, but very hollow feeling having that kind of success only to come up just short in the end. You and I will probably never meet, but I'm proud of you for finishing the map. I look forward to seeing your success on the next one! :)

The year is 2547, Deep Dip 41 just dropped a week ago, my grand grand grand kids have just graduated university, I am now retired, spending most of my time tending to my little garden, it was an ordinary morning, until it finally happened, Wirtual posted the Deep Dip 1 video, my life is now complete, I can finally rest.

In the time it took them to make Deep Dip 2 Wirtual was able to post Deep Dip 1. At this pace the Deep Dip 2 video will come out a week before Deep Dip 3. Can't wait!

This tower took 20x longer to finish than the last tower. The next tower will take 1200 hours for Wirtual to finish. Can't wait!

"Trackmania is an outlet I use to experience mastery." is such a powerful way to express how I believe many of us feel about the games we play! It's about the journey as a person, not so much the game its self.

I know some people will complain that this video came so long after the event took place, but for me it was so wonderful to watch this now and relive the memories of watching this saga live. To this day this is still the most fun, compelling, and rewarding piece of live content I've ever experienced. Can't wait to watch you do it all again

That comment of "can someone explain to me if this was hard to do?" (41:56) with that dismissive tone coming from somebody making react content is just the peak of irony

I just noticed something. Bren got a 47:05.198 and the author medal is 45:00.000. So that makes you the first one ever to get the author medal. Massive respect for pushing through on this one. GGs

Just want to say, completely ignoring the monumental achievement that is completing this monster of a map, this was an incredible video. The pacing was on point from start to finish. Never felt like one topic had more time than was warranted, but nothing felt rushed either. Music selection was top tier, every song matched and accentuated the tone perfectly. Tone was great as well. The usual Wirtual style, but with an ending that wrapped the viewer into the emotions you were feeling. The clip selection was exceptional. Specifically during the final ascent, how the areas that you struggled with or otherwise noted as special throughout the video made a reappearance. Excellent callback and a great way to begin signaling a wrap up. I can’t say it enough, this video is peak youtube. congratulations for pulling a clutch Wirtual.

The "I was disappointed yesterday..." through tears just hits me in the feels so hard for some reason. I know that competitiveness, and that going to bed knowing how close he had gotten was agony. Great story and great video

"Was this difficult to do?" after watching this, gives you the same feeling as after watching an amazing show for years, with the most heartbreaking arcs, most tearjerking of storylines, most epic of fights and the best finally possible, only for some dude to watch just the last two minutes and declare that he doesn't get why so many people like it.

"Trackmania is an outlet I use to experience mastery." is such a succinct and powerful way to explain why someone would spend thousands of hours playing a video game. Great vid and great editing!!

thank you wirtual for editing 60 hrs for us plus other peoples run, not surprised this took 4 months to edit, i think i speak for us all when i say we are truly grateful.

people (including me) simply don't understand how ffing hard this is. This is not only one of the best players ever but also insane levels of concentration and dedication. indomitable human spirit!

Wirtual is carrying Nadeo's marketing all on his lonesome.

Wirtual never uploads on this channel, but when he does, you know its a banger, keep it up Wirt!

The emotional release that I even get for having seen this run for like the 4th time still gets me. The amount of drive, stress, and perseverance all of the racer's showed was just awesome to get to watch and share. Very excited to watch the upcoming Deep Dip 2 release. Let's go Wirtual!
