I think you’re onto something!

Neat idea! I included it in my XanderJam 3 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

This was awesome, thanks!

Xanderwood, a gamer by day but super hero at night, fighting heinous criminals in a pink bunny suit and cricket bat!

Entirely plausible! But when would he have time for the jams? Perhaps he has time stopping powers?

Xanderwood is a tree that has taken the soul of a lumberjack that attempted to cut him down. That lumberjacks name was Xander. I think I solved it.

Dude, I think this is it. Game can be retired now

Ludorem StudiosSubmitted3 years ago(+1)

Actually, that is an inaccurate theory. How would he be able to talk? I think that it is the other way around, in which that the tree was a dead tree, and it had a ghost. As Xander, the Lumberjack, was cutting it down to make space for a new tree, the ghost tree entered Xander's body and possessed him, creating who we now know as Xanderwood.

I believe he is a cosmic entity made of donuts and mayo. This might sound silly, but his existence is a government conspiracy and we are being led to a dark future with no curly fries and lots of prune jam.

Or something, I don't know...

I believe Xanderwood is a benevolent fairy gifted to mankind to bless us with beautiful music, kind words and to inspire hope in us all. Also, I believe he looks like this:
