A year ago Kat put together a Birthday video and a community Kudoboard for you, and you said it was one of the BEST things you had ever received. So we thought — what if we did it bigger this time?
This book collates some of your history and some events from over the last year. From an empty channel to HC Edbert in ADMC and new beginnings for Johnny. Every page was put together by idiots, but what could go wrong. Some of the screenshots and art that people drew of you and your characters in their spare time, as well as messages from chatters you don’t even know who (for some) have been here for years.
This is a history book. Keep it. Come back to it on the bad streaming days. See what you have built.
You’re 31, you’re still here even if you’re getting older, and we’re still here too. That means something.

HEYIM31
Year seven on stream. Still here. Still streaming. Still building something people genuinely care about. This site is proof.
I started watching you during lockdown when I had no one to talk to and I genuinely believe it helped me get through that year. You have no idea. Happy birthday, Zed.

I've been subbed for 3 years. I don't talk in chat much. I just wanted you to know I show up for the bits, but I stay for you.
sub of 3 years
The first time Edbert got patched in I cried. At a GTA character. That is entirely your fault and I don't even want an apology.
RP viewer
Found you in the Krunker days — the juice lords era, hizJUICE emote, charity streams for the kids. Then Edbert showed up and changed everything. Seven years in and I’m still here.
day one
Every time I have a bad day at work I open your VOD from the night before and it's like hanging out with a friend. Thanks for being that.
after-work viewer
31 is a weird number. Not a milestone, not a new decade. But you made it feel like one anyway by just keeping going. That's the whole thing, isn't it.

Mild Heat
Seven years of streaming and you still say “hey, I’m Zed” like chat might’ve forgotten who they’re watching. We know, mate. We know.

Medium Burn
Edbert has had a BBMC arc, a Japan arc, an ADMC arc, and a V arc. Meanwhile you’ve been wearing the same hoodie on stream since 2021.

You cried at a Kudoboard. On stream. Clipped forever. Happy 31st from everyone who still has the receipts and the timestamps.

You’ve been streaming longer than some relationships last. Honestly impressive. Slightly concerning. Mostly impressive.

31 isn’t a milestone. It’s one year closer to the age where you can’t pull 4am enders anymore. Cherish them while your back still allows it.
