NODE's Future 

Hey everyone, thanks for watching the video. I do want to clarify a bit about D's departure as showrunner. We touched upon it in the video, but I want to go into more detail. In the fall of 2019, we were moving Corridor out of Los Angeles, and D wished to remain in LA. With the move happening, we had to let D go so he could focus on his own channel in preparation for the transition. When 2020 came around, due to circumstances changing around the Corridor Crew channel, we were required to stay in LA. Corridor ended up not moving, though D had departed as showrunner. I wanted to make it clear that he didn't just randomly leave, but that this situation is a large part of what led him to focus on his own channel, CerberusArms. -Niko

My biggest concern was that the friends and relationships had broken down under the production and financial pressure. I've always watched Node with a bit of envy, wishing I had a group of friends who would get up to crazy antics with me like this.

My favorite Node moment ever, during a Spyfall game, Brandon was the spy, location was crusader army. He made just random grunts for his answer and won. It was glorious.

Here's hoping D and Brandon still show up from time to time.

Node without D is just Noe :(

The move they discussed in the video is one of the 2 major reasons why I left. I & my partner didn't want to leave Los Angeles. I had just fell in love with D&D and wanted try my hardest to combine my passion for video making, storytelling, and D&D together. Even if it would start out rough, and need time to grow. I left to pursue my own passion and ideas, while getting back into freelancing and help show runner other channels' series. I chose to not talk about the move, because I wanted to respect that it was corridor's business to tell the corridor audience if they were going to move and where to. The other reason why I left, I kept finding myself, not over worked, but unsatisfied & somehow always angry with myself & my creation, never felt it was good enough or that I wasn't good enough for corridor, the audience, or my love ones. Instead of being able to appreciate what I was doing and had to build a positive mindset around it, I somehow drove myself into poor mental and physical health, and nearly destroyed my relationship my partner & I. I chose to abandon ship to cure / fix myself. I didn't want to hurt my friends in and out of corridor anymore, and I didn't want to hurt the content I was making with Nick that millions of people were in love with. I know a lot of people message me still and leave comments about how they miss me at corridor, and want to know why I left, well that is why. My time outside of corridor has helped a lot, and there is a lot of healing happening and still needed, but I'm still friends with those at corridor, node, and stress level zero. I love & respect them all. I hope ya'll understand, and understand why I didn't feel comfortable mentioning the details beyond what I've already expressed in videos.

My favorite has gotta be the “Call of The Wild” D&D Campaign, those videos actually got me interested into D&D and now I play it almost everyday

So, can we still see D and Brandon every now and then? Just like a, "Hey, look who stopped by!" kind of deal?

Seeing Node slowly split up throughout the time watching and not knowing why was pretty sad but now knowing why, it’s impressive to see how far they’ve gone even with the extreme lack of revenue

I got really scared when I saw that Title.

As a day 1 fan It would be so cool if ya'll figured out a way to get Freddie, Jimmy, D, Brandon, Clint, Sam and Niko all together for a last D&D series again!!

There is a time for everything, so despite me missing the "old NODE", hearing the complicated financial story makes me grateful for what we have seen. Thanks for providing some of the most hilarious and amazing going content ever created.

I think I speak for all of us when I say we would still love to see D and Brandon stop by every now and then! Especially if its for a fun little DnD session. Love you all so much and I cant wait for the future of Node, D's channel and Brandon's. Much love

I really miss Sam’s D&D campaigns, you guys film D&D so well and Sam’s miniatures really illustrate his fantastic stories in a way other D&D channels have yet to replicate. Brandon, D, and Niko are hilarious to watch as players, and are great role players. As a DM for 9 years, I recommend Node’s videos to all my friends who love role playing games.

The DnD modules you guys ran were the most memorable for me. Real friends having real fun!

Poor Sam, he's looking uncharacteristically rough in this one. Hope you guys are doing okay. Sad to see everyone going their separate ways but really happy to see a more human side to the channel. Sometimes when we're so entertained by these videos we forget that there's real people on the other end with their own struggles and sacrifices being made to keep things going. In any case, look forward to seeing where everyone is going with their own content and certainly will never forget all the crazy times you guys have shared with us till this point.

I'll never forget that TTT airsoft vid where D "takes the shot"

It's okay guys, I felt so bad for all of the crew throughout this video, wish you all the best. Good wishes to D and Brandon!

I loved the D&D Call of the Wild series. Node D&D is probably some of my favorite content ever, I have rewatched those series multiple times entirely. Also the early airsoft murder videos were great too.

Jet and D locked in a room and Jet shouted no homo while everyone else getting murdered.

I watched this channel throughout my childhood, kinda sad to see people go their different ways but I am happy for them.

My favorite video from Node was “Airsoft Gmod MURDER - Clint the Lawman” , especially the part, when D went full serial killer mode and chased after Jet when he fell to the ground like in a cliche Horror movie.

Gonna miss the old Node, but I hope that the company keeps growing. Good luck Corridor crew. WIsh you all the best

I actually found corridor digital through node. Sad that Brandon and D now left but happy node continues!

I miss D destroying everyone in Airsoft TTT,but I totally understand his decision.

Gets notification, instantly clicks. THIS BETTER NOT BE BAD NEWS!

Wow, honestly speechless... This one hits kind of hard. For YEARS and YEARS I've always referred to Node when it came to, "how I want to enjoy my time with a group of friends." The bonding, the excitement and even the little rivalries, they make the overall experience something unobtainable that you can only experience with a group of friends as close as everyone on Node. With only watching everyone on here you are able to get a taste of that experience without even participating, but I was able to sit down, see a new Node video and truly end up in tears of laughter like I was there part of the group. I truly hope this channel can continue to exist in whatever direction it may go along with all the amazing memories and friendships. Not to mention the hope for success with D and Brandon, as they were the OG's with Sam and Niko.

It’s weird seeing this video, I started watching node when I was around 13-14 and now I’m 22 with a couple worthless degrees and bills to pay… I just recently got back into the channel and it’s pretty sad seeing everyone go their separate ways but I can’t help but look back on some of my favorite videos of all time and be thankful. I think node truly revolutionized gaming videos on RU-vid and it’s amazing that you all were able to juggle different things while pushing out consistently good content. I can only hope that the original crew gets back together someday for some content. Shoutout to all the og fans too ❤️

Really loved the "D&D call of the wild" serie, pure joy and friendship there. I wish the best of luck to all of you: The guys in Corridor Crew, D and Brandon. You'll always have a big fan from Sweden who have really enjoyed your awsome videos. Looking forward for the future of the chanal👍🏾👏🏾 best of luck!

D seemed to have a pretty different feeling when responding to a comment five days ago on his IG. "I'm no longer showrunner since it's now owned by Corridor. Brandon and I have basically been replaced without our consent so they can make it crew 2.0 so I'm focusing on my own channel. Thanks to vfx artists react blowing up money is all that matters now" Comes across a bit strong, and you can tell he's harboring a bit of frustration, and maybe feels a bit betrayed. Hopefully relationships and friendships can be mended, regardless of what happened, who did what, or anything else regarding the business of the channel.

This honestly made me really emotional, I remember growing up with seananners, I remember RU-vid before the adpocalypse, and it was great and now all our favorite you tubers are splitting up, growing up, growing older and ya know? I’m glad that there’s the older videos to go back and reminisce but this was one way to keep up with all of you at one point, I hope you guys do well and I’ll miss y’all.

I never new that D did all the editing, props man you're editing is like the best ever definitely my favorite editing style love you guys wish node and you guys the success best of luck,')

This actually explains a lot. I had always thought D was running node.

My favourite Node series was when everyone played "cry of fear" together. I really wish there had been more of those Co-op story games on the channel. I had a laughing fit as a kid at the "stop resisting" moment

Here’s my issue. I love CD and Node and D. My issue lies in Nikos response to D leaving. He said he “decided” to go his own way to work on his own channel. Then, going back to D’s most recent instagram post, he responds to a comment asking about the situation by saying “I’m no longer the showrunner since it’s now owned by Corridor. Brandon and I have basically been replaced without our consent so they can make it crew 2.0 so I’m focusing on my own channel. Thanks to vfx artists react blowing up money is all that matters now.” Then I go onto this video seeing them all act like it’s a happy family looking back at all their memories together? Why would D say that and accuse the corridor crew of being money hungry heartless business owners if Niko says that leaving node was D’s decision? I have always respected niko for his unbiased way of speaking and delivering any sort of argument or message. So the question remains, did D really get kicked out without consent? What is the true intention behind this buy out? And does the corridor crew know what they’ve done or how D feels about this? Regardless, I’ll still support and watch all three of the channels as I’m a big fan of all the content but I wish this wasn’t so sketchy. Can you guys clarify?

SpyParty, when that one homeless guy was invited in by them

"TTT No Terrorist Prank" I would consider to be my favorite one." AIRSOFT TTT - Take The SHOT! Is cool too.

I miss those attack on titan videos lol. Those were hype

Favorite moment is definitely when they played Rust and there were all those Chinese dudes on the server bullying everyone. When they kept putting out the fire and Brandon was laughing uncontrollably, I absolutely fell into Node addiction haha. I searched for every video they had after that, mostly looking for moments when Brandon would laugh so hard i think the audio would clip. Awesome.

I'd say my favourites are the Attack on Titan ones and the DnD ones. That Pokémon thing shaped my interest in RPGs, it was so great

I love watching D on his channel, but it still won't be the same without his friends :( But hey, at least we get to see what unfolds after these great steps the Node channel has taken

The call of the wild and the haunted mansion DnD sessions have to be my personal favorite. The laughs that I got out of those two campaigns really helped to get myself out of my head for a while and enjoy life. Even now I go back and watch those whenever I’m feeling down, so thanks guys for giving people a way to escape. We love what y’all do and it helps the little people like me. Keep doing what you’re doing and good luck to everyone there in all their endeavors.

I’ve been here for a looong time, since like 2012. But my absolute favorite series that I come back to watch all the time is the LAN Party: MAN Party Big Bear series. You guys introduced me to poker and Avalon and I play both of these all the time with my friends. I also love the Wii U videos you guys had back then in 2012 with the Mario Chase and the Luigis mansion videos. These were great series and I wish you guys the best on your future.

The overall chemistry each of the original cast of node had is what drew me to node in the first place, all though i understand why they left and the financial trouble it feels like this channel should be change to something like Corridor Gaming, it's not that I don't like Jake, wren, christian, nick, etc. It just felt more like each person had their own unique personality to themselves while the newer cast seems to blend in with Sam and niko. I guess i'll just wait and see how they recover.

I still watch Node daily, Gmod TTT and Spyfall. Still laughing at Lil' Nardo's and Gang Beasts. Looking forward to your new videos and ofcourse we'll watch them!

The foam sword duels where D had a behind the back sword block was probably my favorite. Although the Call of the Wild campaign introduced my friend group to D&D, so hard to choose!!

It’s been such a pleasure to watch this channel and everyone who takes part grow, it almost feels like part of me grew up with you lads

The TTT “No traitors” prank by niko was my absolute favorite

Jeez another "I remember" comment. I remember when D first showed up and everyone was whining "Where's freddie at!?" Heartwarming to see they gave him a sendoff, same with Carmichael

As long as you guys are still friends by the end of the day, I’m happy. Also, would love it if D and Brandon could come back as guest, maybe get the old Airsoft crew back together and play some TTT or any other game, mainly because the Airsoft and Nerf videos are my favorite, especially when you guys played at the mansions.

The first Rust episode, when finding the chinese guys round the campfire. Hadn't laughed that much in a long time.

Is it me or did this apocalypse start when D stopped appearing in Node episodes... 😔

I miss the Call of the Wild days :’(

I would say the most memorable Node moments are: Artemis, DayZ restaurant, GTA “All by Myself”, Live Action Spy Party, PUBG Bridge Boyz and Spyfall. D better comeback for airsoft cuz some of those Corridor guys really aren’t that great at Airsoft.

CALL OF THE WILD! It literally got me into D&D.

Once you read D's tweet about him and brandon's departure, it puts a very dim light on this video.

The call of the wild D&D campaign was definitely my favorite. I never watched an episode of critical role before that and seeing maps using props dwarven forge like buildings which got me into playing D&D. Hoping for another original campaign like that in the future.

“Take the shot”, Jet and D icing everyone, the mordhual series, cry of fear, gta mods, and battlegrounds all come to mind.

I really can't believe it's been 8 years feels like yesterday I was watching you guys build gaming PCs. That video alone set me down a path where I've met maybe great people and had many great experiences. I hope I can watch you guys for many more years

Chivalry was like the first video I seen that i can remember. Everyone yelling and having fun. Shit was glorious.

Mine was definetely "Besige: lil' Nardos" 😂😂😂

"Put your tractor in the pile!" "Simon? Is that you?" "I can't hulk out yet, I gotta get my Pops first" "Oh no! I shot one of the boyfriends!" "You Jenga this guy *so hard*" "Scorched Earth policy?" All of these and more sum up one of my favorite channels I ever had the privilege to watch. Thank you guys, and I hope you can play games together again some day!

D was too op so they split up to even out the playing field in NODE.

Damn shame to see them go. I'll still watch, but... shit man, I loved Brandon's energy and D's ironic edge.

The "2 DA STREET" moment still makes me laugh to this day

"Add your tractor to the pile" still a classic

The dnd series with Harley was so good. Definitely made me laugh the hardest!

Man, I'm gonna miss D and the channel.

I just want to say this: I have full understanding of the entire sittuation, but there will always be a part of me who misses the old ttt vides just you guys and Brandon. You have my full support and i hope you the best of luck in your future projects, all of you! Thanks for reading!

I can’t believe it. The first time I started watching node my life changed. Invited all my friends over to play TTT, nerf, friday the 13th, all of them. I’m gonna miss D and Brandon:( i will always remember all the old videos like TTT on GMOD and murder. Keep up the grind Node, I didn’t think it’d end so quick.

Makes me sad.... Brandon was my absolute favorite....

This is definitely a sad sight, up until now I had fallen off with NODE, I stopped watching sometime around 2019 July ish. Just recently I wanted to rewatch all of the Attack on Titan tribute game videos to commemorate the release of the final season of AOT. I finished all of those today and came across this video, I noticed in the recent content D has been missing. I didn't think much of it, but after watching this video I just want to thank all of the NODE guys for giving me and many more a really great part of their life, I spent my middle and high school years watching the funny antics that happened. I'm going to college now for visual effects because of the entire Corridor channel. From the bottom of my heart, thank you a lot.

This hurts...One of my favorites was from GMOD murder in the dark when Niko broke is flashlight and started giggling hysterically.

I love the fact that Sam has a berserk shirt love these guys

D’s response from a week ago when asked about the situation on IG: “I’m no longer a showrunner since it’s now owned by Corridor. Brandon and I have basically been replaced without our consent so they can make it crew 2.0 so I’m focusing on my own channel. Thanks to vfx artists react blowing up money is all that matters now”

The thing I loved about node was that you guys were just having fun. I miss the old crew but I can’t wait to see what you guys do with the channel. My favourite video is the Minecraft movie and the old bigbear LAN party. I have watched Node since 2013.

"2 DA STREETZ!!!!!" *Massive air horn blasts*

It’s been 6 years, Node has helped me through some dark times in my life and it’s been really great seeing the way it’s affecting other people’s life’s and even how everyone in Node has really become someone. In the best way to put it, they were like flowers before they blossomed and now they’ve blossomed and even as a person I haven’t watched as much as I wish I could, but from the bottom of my heart. Thank you Node for being one of the biggest influences in my life. When I struggled with suicidal thoughts watching your guys helped take my mind off them. I would look forward to the Monday Wednesday Friday videos and it was so welcoming and filled me with warmth just to come to the channel and see my favorite youtubers. Thank you for saving my life Node, love you guys

I'm sad to see D go. He was always an iconic, fundamental part of Node: no one else could pull off the cool, collected badass/bad guy figure like he could. Thank you for making Node videos special!

I watched the D&D videos like 3 times over. I loved the story, characters, and the editing! Not to mention how enthralled you all were in it which just made each episode so much better. I would kill to see a return of that series!

I noticed that the talk between you guys (Sam, Niko, D) was recorded a while ago. I really hope that despite all the organizational changes and different approach you all stay friends and have good relations and are able to have fun together from time to time. Seeing D's comment about being left out without consent I'm worried that not everything is clear between you (and that the truth lies somewhere between D's point of view and yours in this video). Please, putting the channel, money, showrunning and business aside, just make sure that everything is worded, listened and cleared out (privately) between you as human beings and (hopefully still) friends. That's all I care for here. The attitude can be sensed in your and D's comments (I don't know about Brandon, I feel like he just moved 100% of his attention to his game dev company).

I have been watching Node for YEARS, roughly around when Corridor released Tether, and I always thought that D owned the channel lmao

I legitimately felt sad watching this.

By far my favourite videos were "Call of the Wild" D&D 5E, that and Lord of the Rings actually pushed me to play D&D on the regular

I'll always remember when Freddie got mad at Clint for that blood thing in Day Z, lmao.

The greatest video *without a doubt* that you've ever made.... ARTEMIS Spaceship Bridge Simulator with Captain Logan

Woah they replaced D with a new show runner why couldn't they have just taken him back, like you let him go because the channel was not getting enough money but you have enough for nat??

In May of last year, I went through a really rough breakup with a long-term partner. On days where I was especially feeling sad, depressed, etc., I would always turn on a Node video. I’m sure this is something that gets thrown around a lot, but watching Node’s content really helped me get through one of the darkest times of my life. To know that any video I could turn on would be friends playing fun games and genuinely having a good time always got me hooked. I’m upset that it’s a breakup, but I’m happy that it’s an amicable one, and that Brandon and D are pursuing projects about which they’re very passionate. I’ve been a fan since 2012 and I will continue to be one until the channel is no more :) In terms of my favorite videos, I always love watching you guys play spyfall, and any IRL ‘Murder’ videos are usually great to watch as well. I also love the Nintendo land videos (pretty sure those were the first ones?). Can’t wait to see what this channel produces in the future

I liked the old Node when they did nerf gun videos and airsoft things, Mansions! But, I’m excited to see future things. And try to bring back some DnD.

Favorite vid: "Trapped in a Closet" airsoft TTT. That one stands out like a brick to me.

"I'm not crying, you're crying, stop."

Those spyfall videos for some reason were always a source of entertainment when they came out, I'm genuinely glad that the decision was made not to axe the channel.

To this day, it's your guys DND videos that got me into DND. Call of the Wild was one of the best series I've ever watched.

One of my favorites is Human fall flat. Seeing so good co-op while making hilarious jokes made it perfect

whos here after the new video?

I’m just not ready to let go of my childhood... I always hoped I’d get to meet you guys someday, but like you said, you’re all parents now, doing separate things... thanks for a great run.

Anybody else miss the good ol' days, DayZ, Arma 3, airsoft, etc.

This was the most mature and professional way to handle the situation, I really appreciate the honesty here and I hope all of you guys are still good friends.

Wow, Sam really looks like he doesn't wanna be there

Probably my most fave one is the Chivalry "Kill the descendants!!!" and my second fave is the first cats vs dogs in GTA V recreating the terminator 2 scene. :D
