I hope you know, I have revisited every single TF2 video of yours every year for the past decade since you were last active, I seriously can’t even put into words how much you and Jerma have helped me through hard times back then. Even up until now I still have been rewatching everything to the point where I know exactly what y’all are going to say. Just a funny thought but also super happy to see you again
I’m 24 now, I remember watching your late night videos in 2012, I was 13 then. You and Jerma brought character to a game that was already overflowing with it. Those were golden times, and you along with it.
@@KeegTheDemon Same same. What I would give to be 12 to 14 again playing TF2 after school. I remember when Gun Mettle was the shit and Muselk was still huge in this game.
You and Jerma were a formative part of my sense of humor. I was a kid for Jerma is Mad, and even through high school I would watch it for a good laugh. Now here I am, a young adult, watching the RUclipsr who was THE RUclipsr to me play the only game I knew existed. Seeing your video in the top of my feed genuinely put me into shock. You've done so much for so many people over the years, and it's so great to hear you back. From all of your viewers, thank you.
@@matthewsteele99 jerma always says what his streaming schedule is beforehand in his discord and Ster told people in his stream too, they'll be playing together for a bit. probably mainly just MvM.
STER your videos with Jerma literately formulated my early teens. Seeing this as a working adult pop up into my YT feed and hearing your voice with soldier gameplay in the back just made my week.
Star, your description of the scenario where the gibus engineer is enjoying the simple pleasures of setting up a nest put the biggest smile on my face. You have no idea how much joy it gave me, like it activated a core memory or something.
Fun to see another video. I'm also glad this isn't a full return to TF2 content- even though I know that never would have happened- because I think the new directions you're taking are great. Just want to say thanks for all the videos you made in the past, this has given me a good opportunity to look back through them and enjoy that nostalgia.
Feels unreal that the last TF2 video was 7 years ago. Time isn’t real. I hope that with this Summer Update that it brings TF2 back to its old days where we could get major updates again since this update has had the most active players the game has ever seen!
I needed this video at this point in my life, it came in as a breath of fresh air. I am grateful for all the hours of fun I had back in highschool, just watching you and Jerma and trying to replicate it in-game with my best friend. Still happens from time to time and I know he's gonna be over the moon when I show him this video. Thank you Star for taking part in some of the best years of my life.
I was rewatching your old videos with Jerma while I was sick and it brought me back to carefree middle-high school days. You have a pretty big impact in people's lives and even if you do nothing else in the future ever, just know that you mean a lot to people.
So true…. Jerma and star gave me a lot of laughs when I was younger. Every now and then I go on a little spree of re watching some of my favorites of their TF2 stuff and never fails to make me laugh.
As someone whos been a star fan since ~2016 when i got into tf2, and an active lurker of everything youve done im really glad to see you back, actually enjoying tf2, big viewmodels and all
Seeing the big viewmodels brings me back to a time before the 2016 update and I love it. Also, Ive been watching ur content recently and ur doing a great job. Keep it up man.
Ive watched you since I was 13, watched that tournament you had with yogacast and that last round the owner of tf2 just started using hacks, that literally dragged me through such a depressing stage of my life, no friends, bad grades etc. Now i'm here back again, currently in my final year of uni, in a happy relationship with my girlfriend of 5 years, getting married soon and most importantly having a solid core of friends and family to rely on. You were the reason I managed to muscle through the dark days of my life. You might not be reading this, but just know that you are amazing, Star_, thank you sir.
your videos got me through hard times when I was in my Highschool days, now I'm graduating from my pre-med course and seeing this. love you man, so nostalgic.
It's been TWELVE YEARS since I watched my first TF2 commentary video by you... if I was efficient I could have had exactly 16 children in this time. Alright
i'd love to see another video of you and jerma just playing tf2, i would really feel nice in my tum tum to see that again and also maybe some more basically videos, those were some of my favorite videos from you
You and TF2 were such a large part of early gaming days and I definitely miss it. I remember first beginning to play TF2 on a laptop and using a clipboard for a mousepad in my room. Now I’m an adult and wanting to relive all that.
Seeing this pop up in my feed gave me the warmest, good feeling in my heart. All those years ago, I got into TF2 primarily from watching yours and Jerma' antics, and while I don't play it much anymore, there will always be a special place in my heart for this game. Thank you for this hit of nostalgic goodness, Star. ❤
The vector clip lmao. Battlebit is such a fun game tho. Im so glad to see you uploaded. I hope to catch a stream at some point because I miss the content.
you were such an integral part of my childhood man, holy shit. It's so fantastic to hear you in such a good mood, after you did that to me for so many years. I'm happy to see you again in this channel. And I hope you continue to have some fun being a sweaty try hard and doing funny voices.
I was like 13-14 when I was watching his TF2 videos, now I‘m 24, turning 25 in a couple weeks, so much has happened and on a random sunday I see this vid after almost a decade. Insane
Sweet Genius is still a video that I watch at least yearly. I'm sorry it didn't get as many views as you wanted, especially with all the work you put into it. That was brilliant. My friends and I quote it all the time. Keep making what you wanna make.
throwback to your video on the 100. Made me feel like I was gossiping about a show that I loved the content of but still somewhat hate watched. Loved your takes. Loved your enthusiasm.
This along with Jerma streaming it on Sunday's guarenteed to make a lot of oldheads die of excitement. And it's also really cool to see as someone who's slowly been going through the older TF2 videos.
I was planning on listening to some of your old story time speedart videos. Imagine my surprise when this popped into my recommended. Glad you're doing well man.
Wow, something about this video hit me hard right in the feels. Reminds me of simpler times, back when all I wanted to do was get home from school so I could play TF2 and watch star videos. That was close to 10 years now. Jeez
Man I'm just glad you're doing okay, people were really dickish about the whole thing back when you originally moved to streaming, and hearing about the DDoSing stuff was pretty depressing.
I first started watching your and Jerma’s videos in 2013 with my brother when we were 13 and 9. We’re 23 and 19 now. I thought I was hallucinating when I saw a notification for a new Ster video
The last time I watched a brand new, TF2-focused star video the very day it came out I was in my second year of college, living in my parents' tiny extra room while our kitchen had no oven, barely had working water, our bathrooms barely worked, and I had absolutely nothing to my name other than a 2008 laptop held together with tape. Today, I'm watching this and looking around me and looking at my computer with 7950x and an RTX 4090, sitting my nice comfy Herman Miller chair, in the bedroom apartment in which I live alone, working from home in a job I like and during my free time while I work on my hobbies. And somehow, watching this video, has made me miss those old days even if they were obviously worse. I can't put into words how this video made me feel. The realization of how much time has passed and how much has changed since... People will (Sometimes rightly) scuff at youtube as nothing more than ADHD entertainment for the chronic procrastinator, but moments like these make me happy to have followed this man (And Jerma) for as long as I did. It's a good way to look around you and realize how far you have come. I can only hope others feel the same way if not about this video then whoever other creator they found themselves invested in.
Honestly one of my favourite videos of yours was the nuclear throne got broke video. After that I watched the vod for one of your fish runs and it was amazing how busted fish is just casually
what I love about TF2's philosophy is that even if you don't contribute a lot you can feel like you still accomplish something even if you dont win the game
Conversely, every time I absolutely slaughter the enemy team, top score, and we lose anyway, i'm just about to rage, when something indescribably funny happens and I can't get mad.
Overwatch is the opposite for me. As a tank/support main it feels like no matter what I do I can’t change the outcome of a match a lot of the times just because we have bad dps.
A beautifully apt statement that perfectly captures what still remains uniquely special about TF2- and I absolutely hate that contemporary multiplayer culture would look at it with derision thanks to the esport brain worms.
I'm not even one of the people who begged you to play tf2 again, but seeing you talk positively about the game after all the grief it's community has put you through makes me really happy.
Seeing this video uploaded by you... oh man that hit me right in the nostalgia. I used to wach your TF2 videos back on my good old Galaxy S2 phone in bed every evening. Watching this one felt just as good as back in the day. I would gladly watch a whole lot more!
found the channel 2 days ago and I've been binging like crazy. I feel kind of sad that I never checked it out until now, because I feel like I missed out on a ton of good stream moments lol. I was watching a ton of streamers like 3-6 years ago and Ster would have been at least one of my top favorites. the last video I watched before this one was Warframe Addiction, I was legitimately addicted to that game at the time it was uploaded. the second I saw him using some of the exact builds I was rolling with I was like WHERE have I been?
This felt like a nostalgia trip seeing this shared to me from my brother again, glad to see you're having a good time and things have been going great for you. It's kinda like the sensation of...checking up on an old acquaintance, in a sense Viva TF2! It's been great seeing people have fun in the game again
This year I'm turning 30, and I still recall getting "The orange box" for christmas 2007 as one of the best christmas gift I've ever gotten. This game brought me so much joy the years following that. Today I don't play any videogames at all, but every once in a while I come to think of TF2 and miss those times fondly.
Takes me back 10+ years (holy shit I'm old) when I first started playing tf2, the star and jerma videos brought me so many laughs back in the day, love ya man
I feel nostalgic, so long and I had forgotten what your voice sounded like, you were part of my adolescence playing this game. All the best man. Greetings from Argentina.
@@seronymus Think of it like the 360 version of the game. That's literally it. The latest patch was mid 2009 and all it did was added options of hosts, which you could turn crits off, turn damage spread off and add class limits. The game was far less toxic and less funny as killbind wasn't rampant, emotes etc. It was just chill. I just sort of wish TF2 on the 360 had players. (it's a bit dead now.)
What really gets me is the fact that even though I've played TF 2 since it's release, I STILL see new ragdolls constantly. I love the source physics man :)
This brings back so many memories, I loved playing TF2 with friends and sending each other vids of tf2 content (yours included) and it's just so awesome to see TF2 is still thriving. Both you and Jerma have made content that was unique, genuinely funny and awesome. When I get my computer running I'm going to download TF2 hands down first game I'm gonna play. Let's see one more Jerma vs Star video on TF2 to complete the saga 😂
Man with smosh back together I thought this month couldn't get crazier but I was dead wrong, hope you continue doing videos, gorbo grandman is unironically still in my top 10 yt videos
I just miss content like this on RUclips. I've watched your videos for years, just always seemed so simple. There's some sort of magic you have where videos exceeding 6 minutes still skate on by rather quick. It's always a pleasure
The crazy thing is, that I still enjoy this content massively even though I havent played tf2 in YEARS. I went from not even high school to finishing a bachelors degree in medicine in the meantime and this content is still THAT fun. I even watch back all your videos with jerma anually. Thanks for the good times and great content.
Okay, this is epic. Absolutely crazy. The OG is back. All we need now is for Ster and Jerma to hop into TF2 together and the ultimate nostalgia bomb will explode.
After catching your recent streams, it was really nice to hear you share your recent impressions here. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the current state of the game, and I'm glad you had a better time than before.
Id love some ster shorts omg! I remember always dying at some random bs you ran into lol. I gotta watch some of ur vods tbh. Id also watch some late night battlebit livecom as well!
I don't think you know quite what you did here Star. For that part where the sniper headshots you and not the medic. I was 15 years old again as I watched that. There was something in your voice that just took me back. Those videos you made got me through highschool and other rough times. You probably get this a lot, but you and jerma were there to distract me from everything, to allow me to smile when it wasn't as easy for me to do. Just a split second of me phasing out, reliving that feeling I haven't felt in years. All I can say to sum it up is that this was extremely comforting. So soothing I don't think you could understand. It makes me feel like I have 0 problems for a little while. just watching this dude return to tf2 and talk about it for a little while, seems so simple. I haven't played since 2022, but it never feels like you really leave this game, does it? Thank you Star. Don't worry about making 'content' for this game. It was just really nice to feel that again for a second.
it's like 10 years ago just came back in this moment. The old high school time without all stressing job.. waiting to go home and play TF2 and watching you playing TF2..
It's always a pleasure to see this channel active again! Been watching you on twitch, but this more edited content is something I very much appreciate as well.
Love you ster. I'm so happy to see you back playing and enjoying this game again. Hope the game's bots and hackers don't shit in your cereal too much. Will continue to tune in to the streams like I have for the last 7 years.
Hey Ster I love you, thanks for doing video games for us. I tried DS3 because I was watching you and Jerma playing it when it came out, and that was my first ever Souls game. Now I'm absolutely in love with the series with a few 100%ed 🖤
Seeing a video from STAR_ after all this time is like running into an old friend you hadn't seen in years and rekindling that relationship at a cafe. It's great to see you again, STAR_!
I always wished each video of your basically series was longer, they are so funny to me and I re-watch them constantly to this day. So excited to hear another one is coming!
Ster was and is the goat of TF2, you and b4nny got me into the competitive gaming scene as well as being great entertainers, so glad to see you back and happy to see whatever you do next tf2 or not!

Interest in the summer update has been pretty cool to see! I hope it can motivate even more content as TF2 grows into adulthood.

I’m part of the TF2 community and I don’t remember doing anything to hurt Star. I watched him play Ana on Numbani.
For some reason this video wasn't in my sub feed. I'm happy to see you back. You hit the nail on the head about the whole competitive bullshit.
Seeing this video uploaded by you... oh man that hit me right in the nostalgia. I used to wach your TF2 videos back on my good old Galaxy S2 phone in bed every evening.
Watching this one felt just as good as back in the day. I would gladly watch a whole lot more!
seeing you play tf2 again brings a tear to my eye. you and jerma were my childhood back then
Jerma and Star are streaming TF2 together as I write this comment btw
@@BIadeloresDa best stream, I couldn't believe what I was seeing
@@BIadelores
Well, I missed it 💀
@@rickydo6572 They will do it again later this week or the next one.
You managed to get me into tf2 13 years ago. You can't imagine how happy I am seeing you playing TF2 again
found the channel 2 days ago and I've been binging like crazy. I feel kind of sad that I never checked it out until now, because I feel like I missed out on a ton of good stream moments lol. I was watching a ton of streamers like 3-6 years ago and Ster would have been at least one of my top favorites.
the last video I watched before this one was Warframe Addiction, I was legitimately addicted to that game at the time it was uploaded. the second I saw him using some of the exact builds I was rolling with I was like WHERE have I been?
man what kind of nostalgia inducing vid is this
The king is *back?!*
And he hasn't changed his fov. Peak nostolgia, haha.
Appreciative of revisiting this game; from one of the content creators that people loved during peak of TF2; this was heartwarming to see.
This felt like a nostalgia trip seeing this shared to me from my brother again, glad to see you're having a good time and things have been going great for you. It's kinda like the sensation of...checking up on an old acquaintance, in a sense
Viva TF2! It's been great seeing people have fun in the game again
We missed you STAR! I’m a whole grown man now
This feels like a scene from a sequel where the protagonist from the previous entry makes a surprise return 2/3rds of the way through the story
This is very accurate
Your TF2 speedpaints got me into art and now I'm at art school, thanks Ster!
This year I'm turning 30, and I still recall getting "The orange box" for christmas 2007 as one of the best christmas gift I've ever gotten. This game brought me so much joy the years following that. Today I don't play any videogames at all, but every once in a while I come to think of TF2 and miss those times fondly.
Was really nice to see this, I have some friends that play TF2 and I think you've perfectly explained the appeal of these older games honestly
Takes me back 10+ years (holy shit I'm old) when I first started playing tf2, the star and jerma videos brought me so many laughs back in the day, love ya man
Yer but a wee lad :)

I feel nostalgic, so long and I had forgotten what your voice sounded like, you were part of my adolescence playing this game. All the best man. Greetings from Argentina.
Dude, your videos are very nostalgic bro. I remember watching a lot your videos back in 2012 when I first started playing TF2 as a kid.
Was watching you and Jerma last week, no joke. Opened RUclips on my phone today and saw the thumbnail. Crazy man. Glad to see it!!!
I've been playing since the games release and I'm still not bored of it. This game will never die.
Wait really you have Primeval Warrior Badge? What do you remember of 2007/8? What was it like? I started in 2012
@@seronymus same
@@seronymus Think of it like the 360 version of the game. That's literally it. The latest patch was mid 2009 and all it did was added options of hosts, which you could turn crits off, turn damage spread off and add class limits.
The game was far less toxic and less funny as killbind wasn't rampant, emotes etc. It was just chill. I just sort of wish TF2 on the 360 had players. (it's a bit dead now.)
What really gets me is the fact that even though I've played TF 2 since it's release, I STILL see new ragdolls constantly. I love the source physics man :)
WE ARE GOING TO LIVE FOREVER
This brings back so many memories, I loved playing TF2 with friends and sending each other vids of tf2 content (yours included) and it's just so awesome to see TF2 is still thriving.
Both you and Jerma have made content that was unique, genuinely funny and awesome. When I get my computer running I'm going to download TF2 hands down first game I'm gonna play.
Let's see one more Jerma vs Star video on TF2 to complete the saga 😂
i used to watch ster's tf2 gameplay all the time as a kid. peak nostalgia
Between your 2 videos I've gone from being in year 9 at school to being in my final year at uni and I still get hyped for your videos
Man with smosh back together I thought this month couldn't get crazier but I was dead wrong, hope you continue doing videos, gorbo grandman is unironically still in my top 10 yt videos
smosh is ultimate soy
i thought you were referring to star playing tf2 / star and jerma as smosh lol
@@assbread5950 they have their moments of cringe, but they’re still pretty all right
@@QuadZillaGodZillasbrotherno
@@assbread5950it's cringe because you're not a kid anymore
You and tf2 were such an important part of my early teens, can’t express how happy this makes me
yeah same!
I just miss content like this on RUclips. I've watched your videos for years, just always seemed so simple. There's some sort of magic you have where videos exceeding 6 minutes still skate on by rather quick. It's always a pleasure
you and jerma are the reasons i got so into tf2. its great to see you back ster.
I really hope you and Jerma do a video or stream together for TF2 again. For old times sake
they’re streaming it together tomorrow!
God damn ster, what a surprise to see you on this channel uploading tf2 again. Dont let the diehard tf2 fans drag you down again
The crazy thing is, that I still enjoy this content massively even though I havent played tf2 in YEARS. I went from not even high school to finishing a bachelors degree in medicine in the meantime and this content is still THAT fun. I even watch back all your videos with jerma anually. Thanks for the good times and great content.
My day was already going great and seeing you upload a TF2 video was a wonderful cherry on top. Thank you ster
Okay, this is epic.
Absolutely crazy. The OG is back. All we need now is for Ster and Jerma to hop into TF2 together and the ultimate nostalgia bomb will explode.
Jerma has expressed interest in getting streamers together for MvM, but in the same stream he said he has no plans to actually play TF2 again
he's playing mvm tomorrow (sunday)
Yesds
He's doing that later today lol
They're doing a stream 5 PM TODAY (in 13 hours from this comment) on Jerma's channel playing TF2 together
After catching your recent streams, it was really nice to hear you share your recent impressions here. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the current state of the game, and I'm glad you had a better time than before.
Id love some ster shorts omg! I remember always dying at some random bs you ran into lol. I gotta watch some of ur vods tbh. Id also watch some late night battlebit livecom as well!
Good to see a video like this, hope you have a great day Star, or ster now lol
Much love to you my guy
I don't think you know quite what you did here Star. For that part where the sniper headshots you and not the medic. I was 15 years old again as I watched that. There was something in your voice that just took me back. Those videos you made got me through highschool and other rough times. You probably get this a lot, but you and jerma were there to distract me from everything, to allow me to smile when it wasn't as easy for me to do.
Just a split second of me phasing out, reliving that feeling I haven't felt in years. All I can say to sum it up is that this was extremely comforting. So soothing I don't think you could understand.
It makes me feel like I have 0 problems for a little while. just watching this dude return to tf2 and talk about it for a little while, seems so simple. I haven't played since 2022, but it never feels like you really leave this game, does it?
Thank you Star. Don't worry about making 'content' for this game. It was just really nice to feel that again for a second.
it's like 10 years ago just came back in this moment. The old high school time without all stressing job.. waiting to go home and play TF2 and watching you playing TF2..
Hyped to see an upload been too long this is like a hit of nostalgia
Thanks for putting a smile on my face with this in my sub box.
It's always a pleasure to see this channel active again! Been watching you on twitch, but this more edited content is something I very much appreciate as well.
Love you ster. I'm so happy to see you back playing and enjoying this game again. Hope the game's bots and hackers don't shit in your cereal too much. Will continue to tune in to the streams like I have for the last 7 years.
Hey Ster I love you, thanks for doing video games for us.
I tried DS3 because I was watching you and Jerma playing it when it came out, and that was my first ever Souls game. Now I'm absolutely in love with the series with a few 100%ed
🖤
Seeing a video from STAR_ after all this time is like running into an old friend you hadn't seen in years and rekindling that relationship at a cafe. It's great to see you again, STAR_!
I always wished each video of your basically series was longer, they are so funny to me and I re-watch them constantly to this day. So excited to hear another one is coming!
Ster was and is the goat of TF2, you and b4nny got me into the competitive gaming scene as well as being great entertainers, so glad to see you back and happy to see whatever you do next tf2 or not!
Late night commentary’s kept me sane in tf2, nice to see you back in the saddle
My favorite video of yours is “Basically, Sweet Genius”. That was hysterical
