Thanks for sticking around! More videos on the way soon - Alex

Best: Playing Doom for the first time on release (having installed it from 7 floppy discs. Yes, I am that old) Worst: Epic Games using Fortnite Save the World's gaming environment and characters to create Fortnite Battle Royale, then shutting off funding to STW because Fortnite BR became such a cash cow and phenomenon.

Best Memory: maybe when I completed Halo 3. Worst Memory: pretty much any Sonic game when I reach a stage that frustrates me enough to quit

@@NattyB961 "maybe"? You didn't feel epic during that last warthog run or bringing the narrative of the trilogy to a close? Or maybe it's not one specific memory/event you're thinking of fondly. For me it was many sessions of Halo campaigns or multiplayer after school that I looked forward to the most. - Alex

That's really kind of you to say! I've gotten compliments on my voice before but never had it phrased like this 😅 If you want more of this kind of smooth narration then why not subscribe to the channel? I'd really appreciate it, though honestly you've already made my day with this comment alone. - Alex

@@ParagonStandard Subbed!

@@gm7697 that’s amazing! Thanks

@@Lujofu thanks so much! It’d be great if you shared this with anyone you think might enjoy it too. - Alex

EUCALYPTUS!

That's a really neat and poignant way of putting it. Don't get me wrong, the film production elements of some RUclipsrs do add really great value that traditional TV can't consistently provide anymore, but I agree that they're lacking the "You" part. And I appreciate you watching all the way to the end! Whether it's financial or otherwise I hope you go and support some of your favourite creators. - Alex

Yeah same here. What I'd do to get another GTA 4 let's play or a Hitman series with the original crew before everything changed. Do you find yourself going back to some of their videos sometimes? - Alex

​@@ParagonStandard If I can find anything to watch on RUclips I'll put on some old AH or Funhaus videos.

Thanks for saying so! It's hard to break through the noise of the algorithm, especially for a small channel like ours, so your comment really helps out. - Alex

Although they are at the topic of this video I really do standby rooster teeth being one of my favorite OG’s. The one channel I continue to watch it has been around for quite a long time is Vinny vine sauce and Joel vine sauce. We live in a world nowadays where types of communities that rooster teeth built from a shared love of content aren’t as impactful. Watching this video reminded me of the days when I used to play on the rooster teeth community Minecraft server. I have always dreamed of working for achievement hunter or one of the other Rooster teeth subsidiaries as a kid. These days the dream of being a RUclipsr and a major Content creator is so far behind me because of how social media and content creation has changed.

GOT was an example of a bad ending, no?

Really? I knew he wrote some episodes for DW but I couldn't find anything about his involvement with Blink. You have any sources? Would love to find out more - Alex

I think I'm wrong. I could have sworn there was an interview where he talked about no one wanting this episode because it didn't have the doctor in it, but I can't find it now. He says how much he loves it in a lot of interviews, but his first episode was The Doctor's Wife.

​@@ParagonStandard"No, look, there's a blue box. It's bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. It can go anywhere in time and space and sometimes even where it's meant to go. And when it turns up, there's a bloke in it called The Doctor and there will be stuff wrong and he will do his best to sort it out and he will probably succeed 'cause he's awesome. Now sit down, shut up, and watch 'Blink'." Neil Gaiman

I found the WonderCon footage that quote is from, which was amazing to hear from the man himself, so thanks for highlighting that. And I definitely don't doubt his praise for the series or that episode in particular, there's just nothing to indicate he wrote that episode specifically. Would be cool if he did, but alas I couldn't see his name in the credits of Blink. Moffat can go a little overboard sometimes with narratives and twists imo, but he deserves full credit for Blink which is amazing through and through. Regardless, thanks for watching this Short and commenting on it. Hope you're watching the new series and enjoying it as much as I am! - Alex

The very notion of "proper continuity" kind of gets lost when half the main characters are travelling back and forth through their own timelines. You can really only have a subjective "proper" continuity for one character, from every other reference frame it's a mess

I feel I misunderstood are you calling doctor who a kids tv show or saying that wording would work in a kids tv show

@@buffbarney2648 I'm saying that doctor who, although not being entirely a kid's show, has to remain accessible to and entertaining for kids. It's also a fairly accurate, albeit heavily watered down, explanation of how time would work in a universe with time travel

He was a lot of people's favourite for good reason! I guess that's part of the reason why he wasn't just the 10th but also the 14th incarnation - Alex

Damn it you beat me to it...

hey you're the one who watched and commented on it. thanks for doing so btw, genuinely appreciated - Alex

I heard about the shield but never got around to watching it. It's a really long running series right? Shows that go on for that long tend to run out of steam before they can get to a satisfactory finale so from what you're saying that's impressive. I'm looking for stuff to watch so you got any other shows you can recommend?

@@alexransome3841 shield loses steam towards the end but then pulls it back for the finale. Depends what you're into for shows I recently watched the original British house of cards. Dated but brutal and darkly funny. While it was destroyed by critics I also loved the gleeful camp popcorn fodder of obliterated.

@@bengleiss9416 I watched most of the American HoC but wasn't sure what to make of the original. Similar to how the American Office is better than the British one. I do enjoy a dark comedy every know and again (like Barry on HBO) so thanks for the recommendation!

@@alexransome3841 i haven't watched Barry yet but hear good things I will add it to the list. Season 1 of the UK office is better than season 1 of the US office (which is trying to do the same thing) then US office finds it's own grove. Although in terms of laughs and lines I quote 30 rock is by far my favourite of that era

@@alexransome3841ahh man the shield is one of the most consistently great shows ever with in my opinion the second best finder ever after the six feet under finale. If you want satisfying complete stories definitely check out those two. I’d also go with mr robot, dark, and in my opinion the best show of all time the wire to your watchlist if you haven’t seen them. Those five are some great consistent shows

@wyzasukitan editor Alex here! We're glad you found us and are more than happy to have you join our little community 🤩 I'll be sure to give Nathan your compliments about his commentary and narration.

@@VibeMusicSoul Filmento is definitely a good shout, really enjoy their content. Haven't heard of the other 2 though. Anything specific you recommend people should check out from their respective channels?

@@alexransome3841 Since the OP mentioned GOT / HOTD, I mentioned two specific channels with amazing content for that including deep dives into other fantasy novels, though they are more book fans than the TV shows.

Editor Alex here, thanks so much for commenting (and hopefully liking the video)! ❤ It's because of amazing people like you, doing exactly this, that promotes our content on the YT start page. So we really appreciate it and hope you share it with anyone else that might be interested!

This actually isn't the first time I've heard this, and at this point I'm willing to believe it. Why else would you make the conscious decision to name your company after a character that betrays the player? 🙃 - Alex

Thanks for disliking the video and clicking on this type of content in the first place. You're helping to promote this to the algorithm so thanks. On another note, why not go and show some love to the other content creators and videos out there that have positive things to say (about Halo). I'm sure they'd appreciate your engagement as much as I do. - Alex

Infinite is a fine game. 1,000 X better than halo e imo.

True, it's nice to hunt and delve into lore that isn't otherwise in main content. I happen to be an RTS player as well as an FPS one so Halo Wars 2 was great, story and gameplay wise. However, for a lot of people that wasn't the case. I agree with you that all the narrative info doesn't need to be present in Infinite, but I personally think the ratio is way off in terms of lore in the game versus in other media. And I'm not sure if it's right to expect any audience to actively seek out all this other media just to keep relevant (Marvel comics, TV shows, etc.), or even just to enjoy the good storytelling all these other mediums have to offer as you say. I know that there's great content out there in places like YT that cover these sorts of things, but is it too much to ask for more lore in the mainline games than what we're currently being given? Also don't you have a tonne of questions after playing 4,5, and Infinite (if you have) or has Halo's external media really addressed everything that happened off screen? - Alex

Sometimes people go away for a while and play other games. Since 343 took over from Bungie they haven't exactly given me many reasons to stick around and fully experience all the changes Halo has gone through over the years. - Alex

After 5 have you gotten around to playing any of the other Halo games?

After I finished the campaign yes, I started playing halo reach, then ce, halo 2, 3, 3 odst, then halo 4

?

​@ParagonStandard in a nutshell, people find joy in the newer games. Sure, it's not like the bungie games, but Halo 5 actually had fun mechanics and story. Halo is not ruined, people just don't want to accept that they don't like change, and that alot of them don't even actually enjoy games anymore. Halo is a god tier game even if 343 isn't doing it exactly like everyone wants. Doesn't matter how different it is, as long as it keeps giving people memories of fun, and nostalgia for later on. Many people say halo is dead, but they don't see the positives and improvement of 343.

​@@yourneighborhoodweirdo5257The dedication, hard work, passion, love and true motivating drive for anyone who currently continued to produce Halo stories as the intellectual property that it is, not just as a marketable one but also a property which has *relevant **_AND integrous_* stories is most certainly something that shluld have been done back in 2010 and onward, but that IS NOT and has NEVER truly been the goal of 343 Industries as a whole, even if it was entirely true for a select number of the individual devs earlier on (many of them of course being former Bungie employees themselves). And of course that can obviously apply to _Joseph Staten_ at any point in time as well, as his work can be compared to that of _Marty O'Donnell_ as one of the more notably vital and fundamental contributions to what truly defines Halo. There are 2 other BIG problems you got very incorrect. 1: The OBJECTIVE FACT that Halo 4, 5 and Intinies' very existence is based on a LIE about the original lore/canon and art-style does not make Halo 5 *_unenjoyable for anyone ever, despite your own implication that someone somewhere has apparently argued exactly that thesis._* (I don't believe anyone that I know of was ever arguing that either. I've personaly never heard that in my entire life. I'm certainly not making that argument, never have and never will.) *This is objectively your use of a **_False Cause fallacy,_* and since you truly do seem to care about sharing your passion for stories, I'd kindly and strongly recommend that you REFRAIN from being so dishonest, deceitful and illogical in the future. 2: The second main issue you got very wrong and is actually an extremely sad, "tone-deaf"/"out-of-touch" and serious Logical Fallacy is your own following quote: _"Halo is not ruined, people just don't want to accept that they don't like change, and that alot of them don't even actually enjoy games anymore."_ This is a Straw Man fallacy AND an implied General Sweeping fallacy against ANYONE who would ever dare disagree with your already established _False Cause fallacy_ from before. If you'd care to now dig deeper and clarify your own mistaken implications, intentions and priorities above and/or rectify any fallacious arguments, I'd absolutely love to civilly discuss how best to continue *_focusing on the objective truth_* concerning exactly what it is that makes Halo so wonderful and amazing without any further use of dishonesty or false argumentation from anyone.

​@@yourneighborhoodweirdo5257na the story was pretty bad. The weakest of any mainline Halo game. The MP I heard was decent though

@bannanas117 multiplayer was good. You can still find people playing it, at least for the last time I was on, and yeah, I agree. The story wasn't really that good, but either way, people found enjoyment in it, yk. Personally I enjoyed the parts with the arbiter the most, and how you can also find many easter eggs within the mission " I don't remember rn lol" where you could talk to many elites and grunts, and listen to their conversations.

I didn't think anybody would receive the GDQ section well. Thanks for proving me wrong. - Alex
