Goodbye 18000



Goodbye18000 (real name Tanner) is a Canadian Let's Player on YouTube. Frequently called "That guy who should be more famous but isn't", he mainly plays classic Nintendo, Sega and Capcom games, but goes into modern game at his friends behests. He's known for his off-the-wall commentaries, knowledge of way too much pop-culture and general randomness.

He has also made other videos other then his Lets Plays, such as "Pokémon Misguided Adventures", which tells the storyline of Pokémon Red and Blue from a humorous perspective. Since they were made before he became the proficient editor he is today, he doesn't speak of them much. He is also a member of The Sonic Show along with Fuad, his best friendo and frequent guest star.
