    I subscribed to GxAce when he was at 14k subs, in maybe 2-3 weeks he was at 50k subs and I knew he would become a RUclips legend within the filmmaking community and now at 221k subs, I think that there truly will never be a more immersive experience on RUclips than there is within a GxAce Video. A singular 8-minute video is more immersive than most movies I have seen in the cinema recently.

    I think you've really outdone yourself with this one, it is wholly unique and insanely captivating.
    It may be goofy, but it's what I refer to as "main monitor content" (kind of hate the word content, but it's the best term atm), a lot of youtube I can just throw on my secondary monitor and keep browsing the internet, but never with your videos. Every time I see a new upload - that's an immediate full screen, headphones on, full attention required experience.

    Dude... these shots bring back so many memories. What a strange sight to see Grindavik in the background in its pre eruption state in that drone shot around Mt. Thorbjörn. I took an old path from the 2021 eruption to see last year's one which was some km's further away. On the way back I used the antennas on the hill to gauge where I was at in the landscape. Walking back from the eruption at dawn through a valley flanked by extinct volcanoes and NO ONE within at least a 5km radius. Total quiet and the landscape. This comes close to what that felt like.
