Thanks to Tren Sparks and Blue for their Voice Work and supreme talent, Thanks to Goat and Mike for being great musicians and friends, and thanks to all of you who help us make film. I appreciate it. Now sing along. It's mandatory.
Long time fan here, great quality as always Tex & Company. I’ve had a question for a while now for Goat. Does he go by the name Goat Hill by chance? I played with a FWL House Marik group when MWO first launched and I vaguely remember an older gentlemen who went by that name. Love the work man. 👍🏻
Thank ye kindly for offering me the chance to contribute this little bit to the larger picture of Van Zandt. And monologue in Malay about anti air fire.
@@blue95kun I'm an Asian and I was trying to make out what language that was. First I was like, "Hmm, is that Thai? Hmm, maybe not, it doesn't sound quite like Thai. Maybe Malay?" Good to see I guessed correctly. haha
"Hey look Jebediah, it's them goshdarn space wizards again. Load up the SPECIAL rounds. Ya'll think Lostech can survive a drop from low orbit? Nah, I dun' care neither. PULL!" *assorted flak noises* "Get on the wireless an' tell all the good folk to stay indoors an' expect the HEAVY rain, y'hear?"
Wireless? You think errybody in Van Zandt has that damn wireless? Just put a line into the barbwire and most a' the people will get it without that fancy-dancy 'wireless' nonsense the kids are putting into every durn thing!
The more we learn about Van Zant the more questions I have, like how exactly the Star League didn't put a no-fly interdiction zone around the whole system
Van Zant is actually populated the descendants of all the members of the SLDF who well and truly lost it during the civil war, Kerensky gave the a malfunctioning ship and the wrong address for the exodus plan in the hope stranding them on some planet in the middle of nowhere would keep the universe safe from them.
Holy shit my sides, I really did not expect a Malay speaking Van Zandt citizen. 10/10 good to know at least the language survived the centuries-long nuclear powered devastation. Unironically brought a tear to my eye. Godspeed.
Fun fact, there's a canonical planet in the Lyran Commonwealth (Kanderstag) where the locals speak Bahasa and kopitiam english. The Clanners hate it there. The locals use kopitiam slang to annoy the clanners,
My bet is that the shipping on the South China Sea dried up. So a bunch of pirates went out and tried their luck on the space lanes of the periphery. They set up pirate bases on Van Zandt, which gradually grew into settlements.
Thank Clang and Praise Zorg, I was just running out of Flak Shells and my dealer got busted for selling faulty shells to the government. I'm glad to find a trustworthy and community focused supplier in the Vand Zandt Union Flak and Carbide company! Edit: the apple pie was warm when I got it, these people really care
@@phoenixrq9139Don't worry, Discount Dan life insurance lasts basically forever. Just remember to reenter your loved ones a your beneficiaries, it switches back to the default option (Discount Dan) every hour or so. But he did say they were working on that glitch, so hang in there!
But the instructions clearly stated an imperative to sing. . . And the pancake house could be in range of discount Dan's rent-a-nuke. . . While you think of that, I got a thing on the next planet over yonder and just so happen to need to leave right now. While also loudly and enthusiasticly singing along.
3:22 The way Mike jumped at the bolt slamming home was too funny I'm glad to be able to support this show, little bits like that make it worth it. Puts a good smile on my face ya know
At this point Mike's editing skills are reaching level where he could actually carry illegal goods, tell the officer it's just editing magic, and get off the hook with a shrug and an "Okie dokie".
The "Grand Ol Opry & Shooting Range" still cracks me up for a fairly obscure reason. Before Nashville reenacted "Big Yellow Taxi" and tore down the Opryland amusement park to make the parking lot for a shopping mall, the park had a 6-person whitewater ride, that had display cases of historical black powder firearms along the wait line. The most memorable ones for me were two shotguns, that I would think would be common on Van Zandt. One was a Triple barrel 4-gauge. The other was a Double barrel 3-gauge.
Since Van Zandt speaks Malay, I now have it in my head canon that it is near The Magistracy of Canopus, which speaks with a Singaporean Accent. Like a bunch of Singaporeans got sick of the draconian drug policies, and said "Fuck that!", hopped on a space ship to the periphery, but kept all that business acumen.
Y'know i guess i'd just always assumed that the main export of Van Zandt was just 14 tons of 12-gague shotgun shells per year just because if someone's on the planet, they'll inevitably see cheap buckshot and hey might as well get some. We might have hundred ton war machines but 12g buckshot is never gonna go out of use.
@@KillerOrca They do, but you have to be careful on who you buy from. Van Zandt has a long trend of environmentally green policy, so some of their LBX is just a massive shell full of 12 gauge shotshells. Those are the ones you want; the more traditional producers disguise their scrap yards as public parking lots.
This is phenomenal Mr. Tex. You and everybody on your team, from editors, to artists, voice artists, writers, everybody involved, continue to make something so very special. That's one of the big things I've come to really admire about the BPL; this is a community of people capable of creating for the sake of creating. That all too human desire to make art and things that are good. And even better, the BPL has not and will not sell themselves or their talents for corporate money or lower themselves to any standard other than 'shitpost.' This community started with you Mr. Tex, but it has become something amazing and inspiring to people who love to create. Thank you so much, you glorious shitposters.
When the Free Worlds League needs phantom machine guns, and good ol' Flak Shells, we go to Van Zandt... We always leave a satisfied customer, and about 10 pounds heavier in Beef Jerky as well... Good times...
This was the perfect way to spend my lunch break for the last day of my internship this month. Thanks for all the hard work you and everyone in the Legion put into this Tex. It shows how dedicated you and everyone are not only to this universe, but also into having fun and being amazing film makers and editors. Super excited for the Hunchy vid and whatever else comes up next on the channel. Keep being amazing!
Bloody heck. I just finished listening to the Grey Death Legion audiobooks narrated by Tren Sparks. Fantastic work and very entertaining...especially when the poor man mutilates his manly voice into sounding like a woman. :)
As the commander of Sootie's Spartans, I get my flak shipped in directly form Union Flak and Carbide by special order. They're the only ones I trust to use with my Autoflak ACs; the fact my Autoflaks are sized only take their monitions may have something to do with it. Best C-Bills I'll ever spend when it comes to OpFor base demolitions, outside of Discount Dan's Rent-a-Nuke program. Btw, the pie is also excellent.
1. Amazing I would buy those flack shells. 2. Mike I worry about you pal. Are you okay? 3. I genuinely started singing along at the second part where it was my turn and then kept singing along for the 3rd.
Another song to add to the playlist while playing MW5 or even MWO, gets me in the right head space when charging down with the ol jenner, blasting with all the lazer vomit while weaving around all the heavies and assaults. Up to the point when i get legged.. then very much time to go home
BPL, Goat, Mike Professor Tex. This was beautiful and the song actually had me crying joyfully. Thank you guys for everything you do and never doubt you've made the world a better place through entertainment, charity, and just being all around stand up people. Rock on and stay safe!
Another great video, but it is adding to the Cognitive Dissonance i have been suffering from since last night Turned on the local news for the weather report last night and when i looked at the screen, there was a Vanzandt on the map south of my location. My wife doesn't understand why i now want to go see Kerensky's napkin.....
Closest in Canada is probably north of 60 or rural prairies. I was in Iqaluit for work and overheard the bartender talking about how he was annoyed because a range officer wouldn't let him shoot at explosives. Apparently the safety officer was fine with it, it was someone else with the problem. The bartender was annoyed because "I have like 30 pounds of tannerite in my apartment I need to get rid of." Climate is very different but the spirit is similar.
Huh. Still getting Van Zhant commercials all the way out here on New Vandenberg. *checks nervously to make sure he’s alone and types in another frequency for Canopus space *Cat girls in school girl outfits washing Urbies to classical Terran music known as “80’s Hard Rock” appears on screen. “Jackpot.”
Thank you mr tex, you and the boys always manage to make my cold black heart beat 💓 feeling emotions of nostalga for somthing I've never known. Show me the way to go home 🎶
When I was a wee Ladd, mom would let my brother and I open one, and only one, present on Christmas Eve. This was an effort to forestall us trying to get everyone up at 2an since it was technically Christmas morning. This worked brilliantly . . . At making even more rabid to open all the rest of the presents. Is the Hunchback ready? Is it ready yet? How about now? Honestly, I’m all grown up now and much better at faking patience.
Great, Desk Gun Luger is now riled by Clearly Visual Effect Thompson. Don't worry, 45 ACP can't hurt you again. Van Zandt is the perfect blend of Planet Military Industrial Complex and Nowhere, USA. The type of place Mavis is slinging hash at the Waffle House while the dropships are raining from the sky. It is the hometown in our heads. Nostalgia for a place and time that never existed.

Because Van Zant did that on their own with the space mines.

@@umngyrobviously Comstar also send their crazy people there. Well, the ones who are crazy but didn't start worshipping their toaster
Mike doesn't just have editing skills, he has the power to call in real objects when he thinks of it.
That's just the power of reality editing that he has. Access to the universe's command console.

So that's what my Merc boss get his ammunition from makes sense.
That moment you're singing along because you're not entirely sure what kind of munitions the Legion actually packs
Curious YT viewer: "What kind of guns does Tex have?"
Mike: "Yes"
They seem trustworthy. I'd buy from them.
Same, also new Van Zandt Lore!
And free pie!
This is one of your best commercials. 10/10 will sing along with when not in a pancake house.
Why?
Just get the pancake house to sing along with you!
But the instructions clearly stated an imperative to sing. . . And the pancake house could be in range of discount Dan's rent-a-nuke. . .

its mandatory make them sing with you
@@gruntingtucan4894 That sounds like a "them" problem, to me.
Everyone needs to call in to the podcast and sing along so Mike can edit a massive sing-a-long together.

The way Mike jumped at the bolt slamming home was too funny
I'm glad to be able to support this show, little bits like that make it worth it.
Puts a good smile on my face ya know

It's the "Right to Bear Arms" not the "Right to Keep Your Arms Attached".
Since Van Zandt speaks Malay, I now have it in my head canon that it is near The Magistracy of Canopus, which speaks with a Singaporean Accent.
Like a bunch of Singaporeans got sick of the draconian drug policies, and said "Fuck that!", hopped on a space ship to the periphery, but kept all that business acumen.
At about 4:50, you can see the sign advertising Canopus Cocaine Funnel Cake Exhibit (and CPR Tent).
It's likely.
"It's really just a visual effect!" Bolt clicks home. 🤣
You know, I was not expecting to hear a battletech version of "Show me the way to go home" but I am HERE FOR IT! XD
Y'know i guess i'd just always assumed that the main export of Van Zandt was just 14 tons of 12-gague shotgun shells per year just because if someone's on the planet, they'll inevitably see cheap buckshot and hey might as well get some. We might have hundred ton war machines but 12g buckshot is never gonna go out of use.
use it with discount dan's "Anti Mech" shotguns
I mean...isnt a flak shell just a really big fuck off shotgun, more or less?
Presumably they also make LBX shells too.

What a wholesome message. We must support homegrown industry! Also, apple pie.
Some people just refuse to accept the whole "No Fly Zone" concept.
Just spent 11 hours playing classic battletech, and I find this in my suggestions.... Best day ever.
Remember death to the capellans and the Clanners and enjoy your day.
Guys, I had a shit day.
I saw this, and honesty, I feel better now.
Your content always touches my heart.
Carry on, you majestic bastards.
My neighbors think I'm crazy.
The sing along just cemented the idea.
Glad to see parts of Tex's armoury getting a showing.
I hope he hope it becomes the greatest gunsmith in his state also he might have the largest collection of BattleTech figures.
The power of editing is truly magical.
Just picked up 2 cases of flak, my free apple pie and a no fly zone sign. Haven't been this excited since pa got our recreational nukes!

I won't lie. I'm at work and I sang out loud.
Same here lol. However, I think it wasn’t something everyone in the bank was expecting lol
Yay, mandatory fun time. Which is what I'm contractually obligated to say.
"Hey Bob, we went through 10 cases of shells today, what are we supposed to do with all this pie?"
And now that song is going to be running through my head all day.

That was beautiful, really brought a tear to my eye
Van Zandt is my ideal society
You guys are great. I always love your commercials.
Love the ad for Van Zandt. I think I'll be having a conversation with the jumpship captain about relocating our heavy lance.
That free pie deal is pretty good. Helped feed my mercenary company for six months while we tried to retake our supply lines
Goat's "What the Fu" had me rolling.
I would kill to live here. And from what I've seen, it looks like I might have to! Woooo!
Hey wait, is Mike a left-handed firer? cool, me too!
Gotta get me some of that special funnel cake.
Great, another song stuck in my head.
I'd love to combine the magic of AA arrowIV missiles and the Crockett payload.
Aka the “clanner-go-boom-boom” munitions.
The Hunchback is worth the wait.
You can't beat a free pie with the purchase of a case of shells.
These keep getting better and better.
The most pressing question about Van Zandt...
Do they have punkin chuckin contests? As that is the true marker of a civilized society
Great video! Mike is always so up beat!
OH MAN!!! It is good to know that even in Battletech, I would be employed still, as an EOD technician. ;) Wonder what their dud rate would be.
That was a totally CGI machinegun indeed.
love you guys and the work you do, keep it up!
Thank you! Really needed a smile today!
Mike's side gig is running a hot dog van on Van Zandt I see.

Van Zandt sounds like paradise.
I'm Canadian and I really wish Van Zandt was a real place and I could move there. Looks like a awful lot of fun :)
Go to Van Zandt county in Texas than it is basically the same but without Mechs and Discount Dan rental nukes.
So...without the fun parts?
