Even though I never played the original games either, I do know the whole story from them and hearing the old music and wielding the Blade of Olympus is just so awesome. Thanks for another awesome episode Mae! Also I'm glad you're back after the tech issue you had
Mae I can't believe you're back lmao. I've been watching your videos at night to help with my insomnia ever since I found your channel like two years ago? Something about your long videos and down to earth vibe really helped me wind down and fall asleep, it became an evening ritual so thankyou. I watched your return video and I'm glad you feel in a much better place now and hope 2024 and onwards treats you better! I really relate to the most random things bringing you out of a rough period in life and bg3 did the same for me lmao. I don't know you beyond youtube ofc but every now and then I'd think of you and wish you well, glad you're back 🥳✌
7:40 Nah its true, those who have played the OGs know Kratos was a different breed of animal back then, u have no idea how Insanely brutal and heartless Kratos was back in the Greek days
Great to see this again, let's get back to the tale of the middle age dad reluctantly thinking about taking that management job! 1:00 I loved the wows throughout the fight hahaha also kicked that guy's ass even when not expecting a boss fight 👏👏 3:35 Ah, Helios, this game has been missing a snarky asshole ever since Heimdall tragically passed away from fist to the face complications 😞 (5:06 glad you made that association too lol). Crispin Freeman is great at making him sound the right amount of snarky and insufferable haha 6:27 Hmm I was thinking he'd try a minor jaw dislocation, but duct tape works too! 7:42 That is absolute slander, when was it ever implied Kratos used to be a mean person, this is Olympus/Asgard propaganda!! 9:33 "I am a changed man!" *proceeds to violently disembowel someone* lmao 10:31 They had no reason to bring back the Blade of Olympus but I'm glad they did, this is nostalgia bait I can approve lol 13:10 Sigrun swooping down like some of the Valkyrie depictions I've seen is really cool, honestly the Valkyries and Freya have been the MVPs so far, literally saving our lives every time it's actually possible to die lol 24:15 "Functional PC's are great, but have you tried a functional PC that 🌈🌠🌟 G L O W S 🌟🌠🌈???" - a great PC builder 29:53 hahaha that actually sounded like a car, that Editor Mae comment made me smile like a goofball 33:17 ...I'm not falling for that trap, no comment 40:24 Poor guy was ready for a warrior, not a panicky frazzled Mae, I feel bad for that little lizard 😔 but great job on the fight, the nerves before it started were harder to deal with than the fight itself lol 43:00 Beyond the obvious doubt he has in himself given everything that happened in Greece, I think this is also a situation that evokes some of Kratos' trauma about taking certain jobs/positions at the request/incentive of others. Even after he was released from being Ares' weapon, he spent a lot of time being talked into an apparently noble endeavor by Athena, only to eventually find out it was all one big journey of manipulation, taking advantage of what was assumed to be his inescapable nature. So now, even if the people that are counseling him are trustworthy, beyond the doubts about his own capabilities, it's understandable that he seems closed off to any outside interventions, or at least that's how I look at part of his reluctance in listening to the advice of Freya and Mimir 46:03 lmaooo I was ready to see you not take that and write something like "Player Mae doesn't need any handouts, get that extremely useful tool outta here!" and then you were like "nevermind, apparently this is really good so I'm taking it" 😆 50:47 Omfg, I still had that other upgrade you could almost afford in my mind and now this, I am frustrated for you lol You did great in that last section (totally wasn't scared in the last part when you didn't have the better resurrection stone and I *wasn't* going to flip out if you died because you didn't have one (1) single extra fake coin to spend), but maaaan do I hate timed sections, they stress me tf out and I'm not even playing lol The music kept ramping up even after you were basically done, and then running everywhere, more nerves in the aftermath than in the fight haha Zero unscripted death run still going strong, love to see it 😌 Thank for the video, Mae, glad all is going well with the new PC, hoping for a good night's sleep for you! All the best :)
this game brings out my inner Owen Wilson for sure. the fact that some people think Kratos is anything BUT kind, supportive and lovely is slanderous and preposterous and we will NOT STAND FOR IT. #justice4ourbalddad I hate to be the bearer of bad news but that was an actual car lmaoo the street my apartment is on is busy as heck and it gets loud. hoping to find a solution to reduce the noise level during recordings. I added the "to beat" to avoid the easy joke but then it was still funny lol totally agree with your assessment about his lack of trust, even though Freya/Mimir etc have proven their dedication, it makes sense he would be extremely hesitant because he's been f'd over so many times. I am SO GLAD I looked it up because Editor Mae would have throttled me. I really enjoy playing this game on the edge apparently, dw I make it even more interesting next part! thanks 😋 ps. sorry I've been slow on the reply lately - still love your comments!
43:12 And since the last time Kratos was a god of war he was on his revenge spree against the Greek gods. And while the majority of the gods deserved it innocents got caught up in all of it as well with Kratos killing them for being in the way. And he was once so selfish that in GOW 3 his response to Athena telling him people were suffering during Greece's destruction was "Let them suffer. The death of Zeus is all that matters." So him being reluctant to be the Norse God of War is understandable.
hi! I have actually already played both games prior to the creation of this channel. while I'd like to replay them I'm not sure if I will for RUclips as people generally prefer to watch blind playthroughs and I have many other games I'd like to get to. I'll consider it though!
@@whoismae That makes total sense! I love hearing your commentary on narrative / themes and horizon is such a good story with wonderful characters. I loved your God of War Ragnarok playthrough -- I watched it right after I finished the game. I'm excited if/when you decide to play LOU2. Thank you for all the great content! Glad that your channel popped up in my feed :)
I know you watched a recap video of the og games, but imo that dude did not do the games justice. On your spare time or make a vid watch the cutscenes from the first 3 maybe Accention
I don't know 🤷♀️ it started around 5 years ago, there seems to be no rhyme or reason but it definitely happens more often when I talk alot (hence why it happens so much in videos!) my doctor suggested it has something to do with the way I breathe and air gets trapped somehow. there's no prevention or remedy, I've just learned to embrace it as a funny quirk.

10:41 The music is a remix of the theme from the Greek games. And that sword is the Blade of Olympus which Zeus once stabbed Kratos with.
"If you're not going to therapy, let's go kill some @#$%^$#!" Mae 2024 🤣😂
Hiccup queen is back baby!Thanks so much Mae hope you're doing well🥰
Even though I never played the original games either, I do know the whole story from them and hearing the old music and wielding the Blade of Olympus is just so awesome. Thanks for another awesome episode Mae! Also I'm glad you're back after the tech issue you had
thanks Heroes!

The hiccups have returned!! Glad to see you back (again) friend!!
We back, part 2, the reckoning...
In all seriousness, great to see another video here Mae :)
Yay, Mae is back 🤗😘
7:40 Nah its true, those who have played the OGs know Kratos was a different breed of animal back then, u have no idea how Insanely brutal and heartless Kratos was back in the Greek days
Great to see this again, let's get back to the tale of the middle age dad reluctantly thinking about taking that management job!
1:00 I loved the wows throughout the fight hahaha also kicked that guy's ass even when not expecting a boss fight 👏👏
3:35 Ah, Helios, this game has been missing a snarky asshole ever since Heimdall tragically passed away from fist to the face complications 😞 (5:06 glad you made that association too lol). Crispin Freeman is great at making him sound the right amount of snarky and insufferable haha
6:27 Hmm I was thinking he'd try a minor jaw dislocation, but duct tape works too!
7:42 That is absolute slander, when was it ever implied Kratos used to be a mean person, this is Olympus/Asgard propaganda!!
9:33 "I am a changed man!" *proceeds to violently disembowel someone* lmao
10:31 They had no reason to bring back the Blade of Olympus but I'm glad they did, this is nostalgia bait I can approve lol
13:10 Sigrun swooping down like some of the Valkyrie depictions I've seen is really cool, honestly the Valkyries and Freya have been the MVPs so far, literally saving our lives every time it's actually possible to die lol
24:15 "Functional PC's are great, but have you tried a functional PC that 🌈🌠🌟 G L O W S 🌟🌠🌈???" - a great PC builder
29:53 hahaha that actually sounded like a car, that Editor Mae comment made me smile like a goofball
33:17 ...I'm not falling for that trap, no comment
40:24 Poor guy was ready for a warrior, not a panicky frazzled Mae, I feel bad for that little lizard 😔 but great job on the fight, the nerves before it started were harder to deal with than the fight itself lol
43:00 Beyond the obvious doubt he has in himself given everything that happened in Greece, I think this is also a situation that evokes some of Kratos' trauma about taking certain jobs/positions at the request/incentive of others.

46:03 lmaooo I was ready to see you not take that and write something like "Player Mae doesn't need any handouts, get that extremely useful tool outta here!" and then you were like "nevermind, apparently this is really good so I'm taking it" 😆
50:47 Omfg, I still had that other upgrade you could almost afford in my mind and now this, I am frustrated for you lol
You did great in that last section (totally wasn't scared in the last part when you didn't have the better resurrection stone and I *wasn't* going to flip out if you died because you didn't have one (1) single extra fake coin to spend), but maaaan do I hate timed sections, they stress me tf out and I'm not even playing lol The music kept ramping up even after you were basically done, and then running everywhere, more nerves in the aftermath than in the fight haha
Zero unscripted death run still going strong, love to see it 😌 Thank for the video, Mae, glad all is going well with the new PC, hoping for a good night's sleep for you! All the best :)

Serious question, why do u hiccup so much??
I don't know 🤷♀️ it started around 5 years ago, there seems to be no rhyme or reason but it definitely happens more often when I talk alot (hence why it happens so much in videos!) my doctor suggested it has something to do with the way I breathe and air gets trapped somehow. there's no prevention or remedy, I've just learned to embrace it as a funny quirk.
