[kakizakichannel]

I feel like I called you by accident in Metal Gear Solid and started a cutscene

[mauromerconchini]

This is the weirdest ratio of channel size to content quality I've ever seen, and in the best way possible. Great video :)

[egec]

This channel NEEDS more attention with content that is so high quality.

[danielg]

Those cuts between war footage and wedding footage was so good.

[viktr]

i need this guy to write me an essay i have due tomorrow

[thegreatgoatking.kingofall]

Constantly referring to Macmillan as a talking bush was fantastic

[jfp]

When the no-color filter on games of the 7th generation of console was actually serving the artstyle.

[Dakurar]

I'd like to add something:
A theme that I believe you missed was the transition of Old to New war.
As you said, the marine campaign represented the series as it was, showing big battles with many men fighting towards something, but that drastically changed, much like the series itself, the moment the nuclear weapon went off and killed the marines. It shows that the future doesn't hold big battles and heroes, and that much like the weapons have changed from the 20th-21st centuries, so too has the nature of warfare. This is where the SAS and other Special Forces come in, they fight quietly, showing the change from using the military as a hammer to using it as a scalpel.
anyway, I love your videos and cheers from a big fan in canada
Love, Bucc.

"Wars are changed
Wars are same"
Damn, that's deep

[A.Martinez]

I just realised the paralelism between Al-Fulani's execution, tied up and unarmed; and Al-Asad's death, who also dies executed while tied-up. Main difference is one was done public and the other was more clandestine. Quite an ironic twist of fate on Al-Asad

[TheJackalxy]

I thought this channel was dead, thanks god i was wrong. Hope everything is ok, I love your content hope the channel will get the attention that it deserves

[CharliMorganMusic]

If you weren't there to play MW the first time, you'll never know how big a change it was. It changed EVERYTHING.

[DarshanBhambhani]

just finished binging all your other vids today and was immediately granted a new vid thank you dad

[BioshockChicken]

You know a game is legendary when someone posts a video discussing its aesthetics that’s a quarter of the length of the game itself... 13 years after its release. Excellent video as always.

[SovernGaming]

It sucks that content like this doesn't get more exposure likely just because of the upload schedule. Quality takes time.

[hughtamlinaltaccount]

So just finished the video, first of all

"Vicious beauty" is a great short way to summarize what someone can love about military fiction and media.

Secondly, your point about graphics and people preferring MWR in the future. I agree that its depressing, especially since I believe that older graphics have a specific place and sometimes a unique vision of all their own and i'm not referring to ps1 style minialism. I mean STALKER's mix of beautiful lighting and low poly very sharp textured models, COD4's crispy visuals and sharpened edges, F.E.A.R's extremely clean visual style. Older graphics look dated but that age can sometimes bring beauty of its own.


COD4 is a MILF basically

[aeraaureliawashereonce]

Ayyyy, he's back to make me feel like I never look at my games hard enough.
And also to talk about hands.

[skylarkesselring]

I really loved your explanation of the Death from Above mission. I have never been able to articulate why I find that part so fucked up, but you were able to perfectly. I feel actual fear when I imagine living somewhere where I'm at risk of a foreign country executing me at their own discretion with no repercussions for being wrong.

[aPol.]

I subbed a week ago expecting to never see another video
Then this brilliance comes out holy shit
