Lost Pause



""Come on, guys! Make everybody happy! That's what we're about at Lost Pause. Making people happy! ...And tits."

- Noble, Sakura Santa Playthrough Part 7

Lost Pause is "a channel about playing video games and Noble being a big dummy." He typically plays anime games, including visual novels and JRPGs, with wacky humor and a load of tongue-in-cheek perversion. Noble also does Q&As and reaction videos to anime-related videos and abridged series. He often collaborates with fellow YouTubers such as The Anime Man, Einshine and Misty Chronexia.

Noble's channel is getting more and more popular, having gained 500 000 subscribers on February 2016.
