The bright side is, I didnt actually unsubscribe from you.
Yeah I brought up a fucking joke from 5 years ago, sue me LMAO
@@ledzeppelinfan1001 you JUST beat me to the punch. I guess I better unsubscribe from SuperBunnyhop
Yeah wasn't sure I should keep it up after that Bleach video
-so far
Or worse, YT randomly de-subscribing you one day
George, 2 years ago I bumped into you at Magfest and we had a really good chat about games we played throughout the year and projects and work stress etc. It was short but meant a lot to me and we parted ways because a crowd was forming.
Later that night, I opened the door to Rosa's Mexicana with a big group of friends and you were right on the other side, leaving, and with the most annoyed look on your face that my friends and I were blocking your way. We made eye contact for a second and I knew you recognized me, briefly, but it was too late and we were again on opposite sides of the door.
I just want to say that I cherish that moment, I'm sorry for getting in your way, and everything has been worse since that moment. Maybe 2022 will break that curse on both of us. Here's to a new year 💕
I think I was vomiting? I totally remember vomiting in that restaurant 2 years ago

What an emotional roller coaster I've just been on

We‘d received classified intelligence that a new kind of Taco was scheduled for transport. The toilet bowl stank, but our noses had been in Chipotle for too long.

6:10 I am pleased to report that after long years of you using this clip to its full power, I have only just now noticed the rod that makes this thing work.
me too lmao
I'm in the same boat as you.
All this time I thought it was some weird VR game, because I couldn't think of any other way the chopsticks would float in the air like that.
The bright red chopsticks are designed that way to misdirect your eyes so only your peripheral vision noticed the pasta where the stick is hidden, it’s designed really well!
Jeez, came here to say the same thing. I feel like I have awaken after seeing that rod. :P
I heard the bitterness in that statement George but we're all glad you're doing journalism again, primary research has always been the thing that separated Bunnyhop from the legions of other gaming channels
Why would he be bitter?
@@Kain652 oh boy... You've been out of the loop huh
@@Dimchek970 I have no idea as well, I guess there must be something more to it huh?
journalism is a necessary evil. someones got a do it...thank you george
@@Dimchek970 You can't just say that and not elaborate.
Such a pleasant surprise seeing Woolie on this video. Weirdly enough the FGC is in a pretty alright place right now? Obviously could always be better, and these new JP titles still aren't batting 100 when it comes to netcode, but they are getting better and matches are getting smoother.
wut
ggst has the best netcode probably ever
@@DaddysFlipside skullgirls has better netcode
@@DaddysFlipside Matches are very good, yes, but the online infrastructure still needs some work. Even after the recent repairs. "Can't connect to duel station" is a common problem and the servers are still rather slow, not to mention the inherent flaws with the tower. Still when I say JP titles aren't batting 100 I mean all of them, not just Arcsys.
@@FriedHedgehogBalls Skullgirls has a better lobby system but both them have fantastic netcode
You're doing a great job George. We're all real proud of you.
Wow. Didn't think I'd see superbunnyhop talking about the importance of rollback netcode in fighting games
Hoppy New Year everyone! Long as George is out there saying his piece, I know there's something worth waiting for in the year to come~ Which means a lot these days.
"Watch to the end for me to have fun with this" takes on a much different meaning when you're advertising for an adult toy company.
If you ever see this George, I tuned in after a long while and to see the perfect usage of the floating noodles after all this time brightened my heart in these dark days and gave me a much needed chuckle. Thank you
I'm an esential worker, I worked from home for a few weeks during the beginning of the pandemic, and I felt like I was losing my fucking mind, I would've never imagined I would be so happy to go back to the office, interact with real people, the chit-chat when I went to get lunch, etc...I also dont think WFH avoids crunch, since you dont have defined working hours, and now you are paying for the electric bills, some companies are exploiting that, I dont know if it is the case in the video game industry, but it is for a lot of people...
Situation seems pretty grim right now, despite must of us getting vaccinated, this shit just refuses to go away, and we have a new strain every few months putting us back where we began...I'm trying to be positive, trying to think 2022 will be the year when this is finally over, but...it aint easy.
I dont know, George, this whole situation sucks, but...at least we'll always have the japanese noodle sign.
Your content is always worth the wait. Thank you for all the coverage, essays, and amazing experimentation with how reviews and analysis have been presented. Thank you for amazing years worth of content that I will always be rewatching.
Was not expecting subject #3. The state of Rollbackia salutes you, George.
Definitely wasn't expecting to hear about Rollback Netcode in this video, lol. Thanks for covering it!
You have gotten good use out of that Japanese Noodle clip
I can't believe George actually still exists
Now if we can get him to do a Hollow Knight video. 🤔
I can't believe he's sponsored by a sex toy store
Criminally underated. These are still my fav gaming videos.
I miss Gorge. I miss the stream. I miss Gorge.
@@tarkovskijnoirI miss him a lot. I miss dad and sons too.
George, been watching you for... Oh my god almost 10 years now... Every time one of your vids somehow manages to find its way to my subscription box, I know I'm going to learn something interesting. Hope 2022 is kinder to you!
Turned out great, George! Thanks for being such a great interviewer!
The Woolie interview was a crossover I did not expect, but nonetheless welcome.
I think the take away with the "working at home vs working in an office" should be that if work from can be viable and the employee can do the work from home then it should be an option for them. More options are usually better than less options, in my opinion.
And there is an economic incentive to doing it as its also cheaper for the employer.
Mr. Bunnyhop, you have no idea how happy I am to see you again. I wish you the best! What a nice way to start of 2022, really :)
Happy new year Mr.superbunnyhop....glad to see you back
I'm so glad you did this video I feel like because the last couple years have been so hard it's difficult to talk about the positives without sounding bad but it's important to look for those in life
Hi George, your work inspires me. Thank you for all the videos in 2021 and happy new year.
Thank you for the video and the good vibes, George. We really appreciate it.
The big downside of GDC shutting down in person was that it was THE industry event where young devs got their foot in the door. The price tag being a huge gate keeper before, now the pandemic has caused the industry to close ranks even further in the AAA space, even with the advent of work from home.
Yeah but most of it was this
ruclips.net/video/xNjI03CGkb4/видео.html&ab_channel=PocketGamerbiz
So I like some of the videos but not sad to see it go.
@@Marinealver Bruh💀
Can we just have a full video where you just chill with your dog
I just watched your review for Cruelty Squad yesterday and was thinking about how I missed your takes. Glad to see you're still going.
I know this year was rough. Definitely take your time to recover from that, but I really just want to express how much every video you release makes my day. easily my favorite content on this whole platform and I'll get excited over whatever you feel like talking about.
6:09 needed to see this to start this year with a bang
Learning Victoria 2 mechanics right now, and I love imagining all of this with the reforms and pops in my head. Plays out so well, and fascinating to see the jumbled mess of genuine reforms and draconic measures
We love you, George! Whatever you are going through, Dude, be strong!!
Great video, thank you.
May this new year be better than the last two.
Eyyyyyy WOOOLIEEEEEEE, also great job on the video George, I hope you had a happy new year, and wish for this year to bring you joy with your best boy Eddie!
Thank you for the video, George!
This two years have been hard on everyone. Some of my co workers were stuck in ships for almost 1.5 years since no country was allowing disemberkation at the beginning of the pandemic.
Thankfully things are improving a little. It could have improved a lot faster but the ignorance I have seen all around the world this year makes me realise how zombie apocalypse movies are totally unrealistic and world would be destroyed a lot sooner in those cases.
Holy ship... 1.5 years on a boat
@@DOSRetroGamer Oh yeah. I have even watched someone lose their dad and not being able to go home for months let alone attend funeral. It was shit all around.
And then we have assholes protesting because they cannot party like they used too... while being free to visit people, basically go wherever they want, shop whatever they desire etc.
Oh wow… That’s rough man! Are you and your coworkers doing okay now at least? That’s gotta be soul crushing :(
@@jinccha8234 Yeah it has improved a lot since most people have been vaccinated through out the industry. Take your shots people.
Last channel I expected to sneak in a vid before 2022 but glad you did. Happy new years
Happy New Year, George. Love you and your work.
I love that the chocobo song plays just as Josh Foreman appears on screen with his Final Fantasy hairstyle.
Thanks for the vid. Always great.
Hey! It's Josh Foreman! I'm so glad that he landed alright after the Anet layoffs. Was nice seeing him.
As a side note, I really appreciate your channel. I might sometimes watch videos later (am almost a month later on this one), but I pretty much always watch your videos eventually, and I really appreciate 'you doing journalism' things. Here's to a better? 2022. And your dog is very cute.
I always joy when I see a new upload. Thx Bunnyhop you are super!
Thanks for pushing through. Your content has been great through the years and continues to be. Hopefully the world gets to a place at least slightly less existentially depressing soon.
Glad to hear from you again George! Hope to hear ya back on Dad and Sons again soon, love hearing you talk with the fellas.
As somone who's finally got into fighting games this year thanks to the new push for rollback I am very suprised to see it mentioned here but pleasingly so. One of the things that made fighting games inaccessible for so many people is simply not being able to attend local scenes, be it for difficulties getting there or simply a total lack of them and while most games have large communities that play the game online, fighting games are usually their own small circles so unless you've got a group of friends into the same games as you and that live close to you, good luck playing it online with high ping and delayed inputs in a genre where consistency can define matches.
The fact that now we can play people from other countries is insane, rollback is a godsend.
On the other hand, some characters are finally viable online, and now I live in fear.
another thing i've noticed watching my hardcore fighting game fans is that these games sell for 30-60€ and to be "on top of things" you'll end up owning 5-10 titles at least within 2 years, while also being expected to purchase future releases. of course this isn't a necessity and you can focus on just one game, but i've seen it alot and considering the prices of all these games it seems a bit silly.
Think the saddest part of this all is that shooters and MOBAs have always had parts of what makes rollback, and it's just been expected for all those years that they would have that.
Meanwhile (Japanese) fighting games are only catching up now
@@genesises that’s literally any genre though, all throughout the gaming industry… unless you want to be “on top of” indie games instead.
Fighting games aren’t inherently worth less than triple A games imo, but I do agree that the necessity to charge $60-$70 plus dlc just to recoup development cost is a problem with the current game industry. That tune’s been sung for more than a decade now though.
I really liked the format / content of this video!
Hey George, happy new year as well. Hopefully it gets better!
Hey, I'm just glad to see that despite it all you're still here, doing what you can. I remember watching your videos all the way back in 2014, when I was in *elementary* school, so there's something always comforting about still seeing you around doing good work after everything. I think I remember playing games on Steam with you once? At least at one point we did - I don't remember much about that lol
I joined the games industry in recent years and certainly have a lot to say about what it was like working through this pandemic (and continuing to do so). The few videos you've done in the past two years are some of your best work and I hope 2022 kicks ass for you!
This is the comment that finally turns my bones to dust, and I'm barely 23.
@@GibbousTT well, if it helps i'm 21
Never stop man. You are really good at this.
Fabulous video, as always, George!
George you're looking real good these days! Hope you have a good 2022!
happy new year bunnyhop
Happy new year George, fingers crossed things pick up for us all
Damn! didn't expect to see Woolie in this video, but I honestly burst out laughing the moment I saw 'Rollback Netcode' on screen followed by his voice :'D
Thank you George. Doing great work!
Good to see you again!
Thanks for the vid
Here's to even more dog in 2022 videos. You make a difference for the better George! Hang in there. I'm also trying.
Happy new year george!
Happy new year brother
2021 was interesting at least. I actually quit my serious dev job to work on games full time. 2022 will be even more exciting as I will learn whether this has been either my best or worst decision ever.
Fingers crossed.
@@OneEyeShadow thank you!
Sounds exciting!! Wishing you the very best with it 😁
wishing you the best!
Thank you so much guys.
I don't even know why, but I always looked forward to George's retrospectives each year, and I definitely have missed them the past few years (to the point I sometimes just rewatched the older ones in early January.)
It's good to see him do it again, even if it's just a single event.
Also goddamn it George you can't just have a sponsor clip for Adam & Eve where you play fetch with your dog!
Big return to form. This is your best video in a long time
I work in mobile games, and the switch to remote has been great for me. I was able to move across the country to make a long-distance relationship become a live-in one (as well as get closer to my family), and I don't have to deal with the hour-each-way SF commute anymore. I know for many it's been tough but honestly most of my in-office communication was done over Slack anyway, so that hasn't changed at all.
I've also been able to watch more YT videos at work. Bonus!
happy new year George 🎉
We love ya George. Thanks for existing
Thx for the vid homedog
George, I don't know if you'll read this. I just want to let you know that your videos make my day whenever I see them, and I believe from the bottom of my heart you are an outstanding game journalist. I wish you all the best this year. Big hug.
6:45 the chocobo theme here was a really nice touch
I am so happy to see Josh Foreman landed on his feet at Mythical. He was laid off Arenanet a few years back and his work is stellar.
Wow that sponsor bit at the end had me dying 😭😂
Great vid!
Cool to see Woolie in the video dropping knowledge
HAPPY NEW YEAR
I absolutely love how you keep using that ramen clip. It never stops being funny to me
Loved this video
Nice channel, actual YT video journalism - better than a good deal of the print stuff
man you just love that clip of the pasta bobbing up and down dontcha
Hello George, this was good, thankyou.
This is your best comb over so far George. You've come a long way. Could just be the lighting tho.
Easily the best video of the year!
I was eating noodles while watching this. I got to enjoy 3-5 iterations of the japanese mechanical noodle clip and started to do the motion with my own noodles while smiling dizzyingly, immensely proud of myself.
I love you George. Thanks so much for this.
Among the few and far between positives of 2021, one that stands out for me was the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope. Hubble has done so much with its 30 year old tech over the past few decades and now we have a successor made with modern technology. I look forward to the cool stuff it will show us and the games inpsired by those discoveries.
So glad topic 3 got covered
that was the best adam & eve advert ive seen yet. I have bought toys from them and everything is well priced, shipping is quick and discrete, and lots of variety. I totally recommend them
What a great way to start the new year
HEY GEORGE YOURE GREAT HAPPY NEW YEAR
It's always a good day when George posts a video.
New year, New bunnyhop.
Still here buddy! Haven't watched much since the mgs videos but I'm still here
the noodle video again! i am so happy about this information
Always nice to hear from the Woolster.
good way to start the new year
I'm late but so happy i didn't miss this and stuck to the end. Funny had me laughing so damn hard hahaha
You make my life better, George. I'm glad you exist.
Rollback is literally a game changer. Blazblue has been sitting in my library for 3 years completely untouched and with the announcement of rollback I’ve been completely hooked on it for the past month
Thank you George
Why am I still laughing at the floating noodles clip its been like five years already? Never gets old.
Hey, Superbunnyhop. Hope your Christmas was at least good.
just wanna clarify that while SFV does have rollback, it has a really shoddy implementation of it that leads to a ton of one-sided rollbacks (one player sees the match perfectly fine, the other one is stuck in a nightmare of constant teleporting and jerking around the screen nonstop) so it shouldn't really be mentioned alongside the other titles in that segment
Guilty Gear Strive should replace it in your memory as the big japanese fighting game that finally adopted good netplay.
