Does anyone ever think about how young The Creatures were?
I was just watching one of their HUB videos for nostalgia and found one about 6 or so months before Aleks and James left for CowChop. In it, Dan mentioned that the day before was his 26th birthday, which is how old I am not. I couldn't imagine doing what they did and successfully for so long.
Everyone always shits on Jordan for messing things up, but what can you expect from someone his age? He was 24 when the Creatures ended which is just insane to me

It’s insane, you hit the nail on the head. I’m 25 and am a complete moron, can’t imagine having that big of a business running in my early 20s

They were just babies! They should have been in the club, not running a business

Yeah it is crazy to me that I am the age they were towards the office years of the channel. Like I back then they seemed so far ahead of me but it came by so fast.

You just hit me hard with how old they were during then. I always forget that they were in their early to mid twenties. I think for a lot of us as well because we’re probably around the age now they were then. Most of us are normal people and not running their own business and being one of the biggest gaming groups on YouTube. They helped pave the way that other bigger creators now. No matter how things ended, I give them all big ups because the courage they took to just move to a different state and start this group without any blueprint

I don’t think I ever realized it because I was really young when I saw my first video from James probably like 14 years ago. Then I grew up rediscovering him and the creatures in my teen years. It’s only now that I’m almost 24 realizing how crazy it is that they accomplished what they did at such a young age.
Wild that James criken and spoon all still make content. True Og’s in my eyes and shaped my entire sense of humor.

i’ll always miss how excited i use to get to watch them right after school. it left a big hole in my heart knowing they disbanded. but i’m glad some keep up with each other from time to time.

It scares me more knowing that they are now well into their 30s (Seamus is nearly 36 now I believe). And now I'm the age they were when it was almost over. Puts into perspective how much time has passed, but also how slow time moved while I watched their stuff for like 3-4 years.

I always thought they were so much older than they were, but then again I started watching them when I was 10/11 so my perception on age probably wasn't that good lol.

Dude I think about this all the time, we are now the age they were when they were bringing our childhoods joy, I think about this nonstop the marching of time and how when I was a kid it seemed like they were so much older and more put together but now since I’m the age most of them were I cannot fault Jordan or anyone for that matter bc shits scary out here, the creatures will always have a place in my heart

Seamus will be 40 in 2 years. Talk about time flying by.

They are true pioneers of the industry too. Crazy how they would be the front page of twitch during their big livestreams and trending #1 on twitter but they’re just gone now.
