Hi. I’m “Gio Palermo”, also known as “legorocks99” (“legorocks99Gaming”, “LR99Gaming”, or “LR99”). I post video game commentaries on YouTube revolving around “hockey”, with a primary focus on “Vancouver Canucks”, “Montreal Canadiens”, “Detroit Red Wings”, and top “NHL prospects” topics. These videos are uploaded with “NHL 23” gameplay in the background. I enjoy making these videos and I hope that you enjoy watching them!

  1. Lego, your human .
    I can not say sorry to you for having a life learning lesson ..
    I can respect you more for sharing it though ..
    Keep your head up and all the very best for you and your channel in the future..

  2. You’re clearly an intelligent and vibrant person. Don’t worry – the older you get, it gets easier. The first heartbreak is always the worst. It’s only a matter of time before you find your person.

  3. You can either focus on yourself through career progression, gym, goals or try to force the issue from the same standpoint. Don’t be surprised with the same results if you stand still and do nothing. Your mind will still wonder to her the next few years btw, but less and less if you focus on yourself

  4. Lego!! All the best in year 2024! Thanks for sharing, I feel positive things coming in near future for your channel! Look forward listening to the videos. Keep it up!

  5. Welcome to adult life my friend. You are only growing as a person. And we are all here to see it. Happy New Year.

  6. Hey man, I'm sorry about your chick. If it's worth anything, I'm going to be 30 in a couple of months' time. I'm currently not seeing anyone and not married. My life isn't great, but I'm hanging in there. I wanted to do videos on YouTube, but I didn't have a niche. Maybe astrology, but I'm not even good at that. I do love hockey but I feel as if my IQ isn't as good as others to do hockey. For my lonely youngins out there reading this comment I'd suggest reading or listening to audiobooks about dating and what not. It's helped me out as a loner. We are all still young and we are still learning as well. The learning never stops. Just remember bigger and better things are coming our way 🙂

  7. There's nothing unusual about what your going through. I'm one of your older fans and I can relate to a lot of what your describing when I was younger. Now I am in a really great place in my life it just took time. The fact that you are willing to take control of your path is key.

  8. Those situations happen in life. Some people just like to inflict pain. On the other hand, people get to pick who they want. It's not you bro, your a good guy. Don't let it take you down. Keep going. The girl for you is out there. Promise, cheers!

  9. Hey Lego remember watching videos when you talked about your date and how it didn't worked out. Feel for ya bud, because well I have almost same experience as you. Till now never had a gf and till this year never even asked girl out, but this year at the airport on way on my vacation I spot a girl who was 10/10 in my eyes. Then I noticed we went to same country for our vacation, but I told to myself that there is a low chance them going to same resort as us, but by some luck they went to same resort. After week and half of telling myself how to talk to her, what to ask her and waiting for right opportunity I went to her and asked her if she has a bf, she said no, so I asked if she would like to go out either on vacation or when we were back at our country. SHE SAID YES. My heart at that moment almost jump from happiness, we exchanged instagrams and then went to our families. Even though we haven't speaked the rest of the vacation I didn't mind because she said she would rather meet at our country. And then when we came back I wrote her and….. she never replied 🙁 , don't even know if she saw those messages, but considering she removed me from following her instagram, I guess she did. After month still nothing not even "I changed my mind" or something like that, which would make it easier for me to say "ok lets move on then". So I fully get ya man, cry your heart out if you need, stay strong, better time will surely come for you 🙂 and keep doing great video which keep me in touch with latest NHL news. Thanks and Happy New Year 🙂

  10. bitches huh lego ?

    at least we finally got an update on the girl you were banging in march lol

    I'm just messing 😃

    don't worry lego you're cool and your life is awesome and everything is gonna be fine 😌

    oh yeah and btw you need to change your thumbnails, do those click bait ones like eck lol

  11. We love ya dude! Great vid. Love your honesty, and opening up. See dude this channel is so much more than awesome hockey thought. It is Deep thought. Your an Empath. It is a good thing.

  12. Keep your head high and move forward leggo, 2024 will only be up from here. I also had my first gf at 23 who broke my heart so i feel you, i still think of her and I'm 31 now 😅. All the best for the coming year!

  13. I appreciate you taking responsibility and being honest. I really haven't noticed much of a change, but that says more about me than you.

    Having said that we need to send you to the sin bin.

  14. If you obsess over trying to get a relationship and try to force it, it will never work. You just have to work on yourself and let the relationships come naturally.

  15. Lego,
    You're young and growing in all aspects of life. We have all been there at some point. From experience, keep growing and move forward. As a grown man, I can tell you that women in general will drain you in all aspects so there is nothing wrong with concentrating on your channel and self growth.

    Wishing you a wonderful 2024. This will be your year!

  16. Getting dumped sucks so hard. It’s a rejection that makes you question yourself. Makes you think ugh am I even good enough?!! Your feelings are valid. But you must look at it in a way of personal growth journey and dodging a bullet so to speak. If anyone said your personal life doesn’t affect your professional life is just someone in denial. You want to find a healthy relationship where your personal and professional life can both succeed. Thank you for your vulnerability as that takes a lot of guts and self awareness! Simply by posting this it seems like you are starting your healing journey to a new chapter in your life! Here’s to growth and change in 2024 🎉 also I have been a long time follower on your channel from the female demographic it would be so cool to see some PWHL content. Just remember you started out being you and you got that far don’t forget what your page foundation started as YOU!! And when you weren’t taking care of you, you saw the results. Take charge, try to think positive and move forward. Also my husband is your personality very shy 🙈 etc and I’m crazy and outgoing lol 😂 he hadn’t dated at ALL for 5 years then met me and we have an awesome marriage!! YOU GOT THIS LEGO!! HEHSJHDHE I9 and bye 🎊 ✌🏽

  17. I can’t agree more that your content went down hill. I stopped watching you because of the uniformed content, the click bait, and the effort drop. I hope you can get back to your 2022 thoroughness.

  18. Happy New Year, Little Brother. Thank you for sharing. Someone may also be going through this, as I have. I felt the difference in your videos this 2023 year compared to the previous year, but I'm glad you recognized it. Also, glad that you are approaching it as life lessons so that you can grow. Continue to fill your life with stuff you enjoy doing, and charge your battery to the fullest. Becoming the best version of yourself each day, love and life will come to you. Share your passion once again, and life opens up once again. I've been in the same position a couple decades ago and question if I'm deserving and my future. Fast forward to today, I have a wonderful wife and two wonderful boys who remind me I'm a wonderful dad. God Bless, Gio! 🙏

  19. You’re self-awareness and openness a underrated qualities. You will find someone that sees you in due time. Dont rush it, dont force it, become best friends first.

    Cheers!

  20. Sorry to hear about all the troubles you've had this year, and in some ways, it's relatable to some of the troubles I experienced between ages 17 and 22. As I now enter the year where I'll be turning 44, I hope 2024 is an amazing year for both of us, and we can both get our lives back on track. Good luck dude!

    (For the record, I was watching, even if the overall views were down. LGRW!)

  21. Don't worry about it, Bro. That is Life, we've all been there. and you know what? We learn from that and that is what makes Life great. It gets better. Gratitude is what propels us forward to a great future. Nice sweater btw or is that a onesie? Looks comfy.

  22. Hey man, just some advice for you. Don't get caught up in relationships that don't work out because if it was meant to be, it would have worked out. Each failed relationship is extremely valuable for your character development as it teaches you important things about yourself that you didn't know before like what you value in a relationship, what you won't tolerate in a relationship, and the qualities of a person that you deem are important to have or not to have. The saying "things happen for a reason" is a motto I live by because everything that happens is meant to move you further along in life and to make you stronger. So things might seem dark at points, but just know that a few years from now, you'll be looking back feeling thankful for the growth you achieved from these dark times in your life. You got this brother, the redemption arc starts now.
