TIME SPLITTERS!!!! I downloaded dolphin just to revisit the sequel game. It's aged. I understand why I had a hard time beating the hardest level difficulties and such.

Oh my god, the bit where Sunny's delivering all the exposition in the chase sequence feels like that I Think You Should Leave sketch where the guy keeps stealing all his lines so he has to say them as fast as he can

Never realized the books were so different or trash. Saw the movies many times. Perfect B movies. Thanks again for this.

This is great, and I will leave a more thoughtful and interesting comment on the youtube version later. But can I get a link to that mcdonalds creepypasta?

I honestly can't tell how much you were joking about the castle in Toronto... but it's a castle in Toronto. The only one in North America, apparently. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casa_Loma Much love from the UK. Where we can't move for castles. they're fucking everywhere.

My friend and I read L. Ron Hubbard's Battlefield Earth around that time....... no scientologists, thank goodness, were created in this endeavour. but still Tek War? I love quirky Kirky and all., but this must've passed me in my younger days. I was more into Marina Sirtis and Star Trek TNG. Nonetheless, I enjoy your story telling, which breaths live into this hollow Tek War story. It is monumental, that you use up half the time just to explain the atrocity of the Tek War pilots and books until redeem them all with the Tek War series. and explode in the games afterwards. Looking at all this, normally this is my shit. I don't know why it avoided me in the 90es. I have to say thank you, to make me aware again .

Usually don't watch on Patreon but I needed my 10 seconds of Shatner music fix dangit. Fantastic video as usual dude, I'm sure all 4 and 2/3 Tekwar fans in 2025 feel heard and represented.

Man that intro just gets me. 2 hours of joy coming up!

The TekWar game is so fascinating. Utterly trash game made by developers who I can't tell if they were phoning it in or genuinely trying but just THAT bad at game design that TekWar turned out the way it did. I like TekWar's cityscape aesthetics but that's about it. But, in fairness, some of the people who worked at Capstone went on to help develop Battle for Bikini Bottom after the company went belly-up, so they eventually found their stride I'd say.

i enjoyed that this managed to extend beyond the scope of strictly video games while maintaining the tone and quality of storytelling that make me like this channel

Yeah unfortunately this is a common problem.. check my comment on this post, there's a YouTube link that works!

Hmm it won’t play at all on my iPhone. I press play, or skip around the video, but it’s just a black box, the video never starts playing. Anyone else?

I can't wait to watch this in the morning! Keep up the great work! Your stuff is top tier 💯

A few people are having problems with vid playback getting stuck. Here's a link to an ad-free upload on my 2nd channel! https://youtu.be/cTODvMJPTSk

That sucks, I've had that same problem with Patreon videos before. Even on refresh it stays stuck. Try skipping around the timeline and reloading the page a few times. If it's a processing issue it should ideally resolve with time. Let me know if you're still having issues in a few.
