THE HIGHLANDER | 90 tons of angry, Scottish, Inner Sphere assault mech
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 май 2024
- Generic greetings and welcome to the highlander, a famous Inner Sphere assault mech that will put you in the ground figuratively, and if you're unlucky enough to hear the blare of bagpipes, literally. A mech with an illustrious history overshadowed by the even more ridiculous special tactic its pilots specialize in.

The bagpipes were a mistake. I acknowledge that the video would be better without them. If you don't like them that's perfectly fine. But i left them in because Steve was having so much fun and he wanted them. So no, i will not be apologizing for it or changing it.
As a kilt-wearing stompy robot nerd, I approve of the bagpipes.
@the_algo_rhythm Same here. Should've gotten one of us to do the intro, though.
Hey it’s fine it was a entertaining and funny video regardless. So no worries lol.
With that said a side note.
SCOTLAND FOREVER! 🏴
Bagpipes good
No no I laughed every single time. Go Steve.
The Audience did in fact find the bagpipe bit hilarious.
incredibly, it was even better when sci realized he said highlander.
I sure did. After the intro I started counting to see how long it would take to hit. Then it straight up Wile E Coyoted us. "The Higlandersomethingsomething goddamnit I said it again -bagpipe music plays-
@@Deadly021"and the Highlandersonofabitch" -bagpipes- oh god I laughed
@@ishidan01 oh my god when he did that I lost it I was laughing so hard.
Remember, there can be only one
It's not the Bagpipes that the audience is loving...
It's how Steve is trolling the fuck out of Sci that we're finding hilarious.
I don't know what's funnier
The bagpipes
Or Sci's reaction to the bagpipes.
It's BOTH
YES
Just watched a second time, cause I was curious. Bagpipe count=16, with a missed bagpipe at 27:30, so it should have been 17.
HIGHLANDER!HIGHLANDERHIGHLANDER!!! *sits back to listen to bagpipes...
if only the audio quality of that bit was better... sounds almost midi-like...
Sci realizing what he’d done half a second after he’d done it was just * chefs kiss *. Very good trolling.
Bagpipes are not cringe
Bagpipes are glory
Bagpipes are an ill wind that nobody blows good.
The Highlander runs on cold fusion boosted by whiskey.
Real whiskey. Scottish single malt.
That's where the extra 8 km/h comes from.
"What is that?"
"Whiskey! Thins the mix, gives us another 200 RPM!"
😁
an' ye no ken why th' fuel tank be empty sooner dennit ough?
a least now when ya ha' to leave you ca' still get DRONK while ye run. Dronk 'n cook'd a bi'
@@danielseelye6005 Underrated movie!
I can confirm the bagpipes were hilarious.
HIGHLANDER!
Scotland FOREVER!! 🏴
*Bagpipes*
"One half-hour of Science Insanity Mechwarrior lore occasionally broken by bagpipe music."
Occasionally?
Incessantly!
Normally when I hear or deploy a highlander, i hear "princes of the universe" playing in the background.
Heres my highlander themed joke. I used to own two highlanders, but there can be ONLY ONE!
Or the Braveheart theme
@@woodse0651 that works too
for me it is either "Scotland the Brave" - for obvious reasons, OR (admittedly weirdly enough) The Final Countdown, especially the intro and first verse while picturing the Royal Black Watch making their last stand.
THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!!!
TOO ANGRY TO DIE
To quote a Heinlein character: funny once, the first time you're a wit, the second time you're a half wit, logarithmic progression.
The bagpipes were to best!!! Thank you Steve!!!
10/10 performance Steve
The bagpipes had me rolling on the floor, best gag!
Every time Steve hit sci with the Bagpipes, I couldn’t help but laugh 🤣
The pipes were absolutely hilarious, I was laughing so hard I nearly burned my dinner 😂
Side note, as someone of Scottish decent, I truly appreciate that Battletech/Mechwarrior had not only a planet of Scottsmen and a Scottish Battlemech.
The only thing that would make it better was if they had an Assult Claymore.
If only the Mech named the Black Watch wasn't terrible. Critical Rocket did a good breakdown on LoreWarrior
There's a variant that has a sword. It's rather scary in MW 5 in urban combat.
Who knew Steve was such a troll lol
You have to watch the quiet guys, they can be surprising.
We find it hilarious!
The bagpipe running ga was great. There is a strong reason the Harebrained Schemes game gives you the Star League version of Highlander, it more than lofts its weight in the tough fights.
You're also fighting against a coup so it's on theme considering its history
Best eposoid so far. Bag Pipes are never a mistake.
I came for bagpipes ... I was satisfied.
Oh no
Not the bagpipes!!
Nukes are merely an inconvenience...
THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE!
Bagpipes for the win!
😅 i see Steve's new ration working with outstanding outcome 😅
Let's be honest, Grasshopper and Highlan... 🔊🔊🔊🔊 🤣 i was saying, these two are actually my upward weight favourite mechs...
STEVE THE MIGHTIEST HIGHLANDER !!!
Hey Steve! Highlander!
SCOTLAND FOREVEEEEVERRR!!!!!!!!!!!
Ah, the Highlander. A mech made for me as my DFA rolls in tt are amazingly good. Also in HBS Battletech, my Glitch is undisputedly the best of all Glitches. She performed a Highlander burial on a pristine Atlas. Goomba stomped cleanly on it's head! *THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!!!*
I'm laughing my ass off at the bagpipes bitm.
It’s all fun and games until the trees start playing bagpipes.
LOVE IT THANKS STEVE
Mech crushing, cockpit sniping, nuke defying, tyrant traumatizing.
This was absolutely grand!
"You really have to put yourself in the position of the enemy"? That sounds like something a Highlander driver would do.
the bagpipes were wonderful, but each time that Sci caught him self saying Highlander right before them was the best part
The bagpipes got me to subscribe.
Great job Steve!
Checking my subs, Sci uploads a vid on my fav inner sphere mech and Steve is trolling him with bagpipes, what a day
Battletech is a Scottish powerfantasy
Well, I mean sure the Inner Sphere was ruled by a Scottish family, until they got wiped out by Fat Genghis Khan
This was 'bagpipes intensify' the episode.
Bagpipes were great. Loved it every time.
Bagpipes heard over the crunching sound of a Highlander burial…and a good many of them have a slight radioactive glow in those hard to reach cracks and crevasses. Nukes are just an inconvenience. They don’t even interrupt the pipers.
It has finally happened! The episode of SCIENCE INSANITY where the host actually went insane.
It's not the bagpipe bit itself that I find hilarious. Yes, it's funny. But the fact that you know gods damned good and well that the Black Watch would have done the same shit is what's hilarious.
I'm going to out on a limb and say....Bagpipes are the start up sounds when the mech is powered on...
See, this is how I know you weren't a theatre kid growing up. A theatre kid just pivots to calling it The Scottish Mech, and gloats while he circumvents the madness 😂
Clearly not military, either, since the proper designation is HGN-732B.
Ah I have one of theses in Hairbrain's Battletech game. A Star League one that I have upgraded with a Gauss that weighs two tons less than normal freed up weight for extra armor and a flamer, a destroyed double heat sink was replaced with a second flamer when I realized that amount if double heat sinks was rather overkill anyway for heat dissipation. The Bellum Draconis is one mean Highlander. *Bagpipes insue*
I think the funniest part is when SCI called himself out on the first couple 'highlander' goofs that it seemed Steve missed.
"It was desii--fuck, I said it again" [Highland Laddie]
I dont care what happens, as long as Steve is having fun and Sci is suffering, Im happy to handle any repetitive awful noises.
We will now call it THE SCOTTISH MECH
My God, I was listening to this while i drove home from the hardware store and almost wrecked my car I was laughing so hard.😂😂😂😂
As an American of 2-family Scottish descent, I approve of this video. Did you know, despite our propensity for foul language, hard drinking and fighting everything that moves, even ourselves, that we STILL managed to produce more inventions than nearly any nation in history, only beaten by the ancient Greeks, who had a LOT more low-hanging fruit things to invent that were not around yet? Also managed to hold off one of the greatest powers the world had ever known which happened to be situated right next door (The English and the Romans before that.) for a few hundred years with vastly inferior technology and weaponry until along came a man who had a claim to both the Scottish throne and English throne, and basically united the 2 countries, CREATING the damn United Kingdom - the Union Jack flag being the mashing together of the Scottish and English flags. Then the British Empire after including Scottish techno-barbarians into their ranks went on to outlaw slavery, and basically end the world-wide slave trade by force for the first time in human history. Yeah, nothing is more dangerous and innovative than a Scot trying to deal with a problem. They'll brute-force you first, while they build a super-weapon you never expected in a shed somewhere piss wasted on a random Tuesday out of shit they stole from a junkyard.
I leave you with this:

There can be only one. Let it be, THE HIGHLANDER.
The highlander, for when you like playing with mechs, and Mario games a bit too much.
Bonus when bagpipes plays whenever you jump
I remember a game of BT back in the day, when one of my buddies stepped off a cliff, and did a full Highlander Burial on an enemy light mech.
It's one of these moments that I appreciate you put in audio spectrum visualizers if only to further accentuate the comedy of sudden bagpipes.
the bagpipes are PERFECT
Now this. this gonna be good.
AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAh Haud yer weesht, gonny no dae that accustical plumbery, aye?
'Ere was by FAR the best one yet. Well met, Steve.
The bagpipes are possibly the best part of the episode, especially when Sci catches himself half a second later. The best episode by far. Might turn out to be the most-played episode eventually. 🤣
I don't know if i already said this here but "FREEEEEDAAAAAAM!!!"
Thanks for this deep lore dive of the mech. It helps a lot to flesh out the lore of the universe.
you've never run a Highlander properly in a table top Battletech game until you perform a successful Highlander Burial!
So... After watching this early in the week I decided to use one of the Highlanders in my local groups matches.
In four turns it headshot killed a Cyclops with a gauss rifle, gave a Highlander burial to a Thug, and finished off a Nightstar that had already been headshot by a Catapult K2K's ERPPC with yet another gauss rifle head shot.
Bless you Science Insanity, bless you.
At first i was like "Hey! Why thete is no bagpipe music in the background" but when Steve brought bagpipes i was happy again. Long live Steve
I can only hope that someday you both cover LANCER and its crazy shit! especially describing anything made by HORUS.
Absolutely hilarious episode, favorite part was the Bagpipes everytime Highlander was said. Outstanding!
I enjoy all of Science Insanity videos
The only thing funnier than the random bagpipes is the expletive laden exasperations of Sci just after stepping on a landmine. 😂😂😂
One of your best videos yet.👍
What's ironic, my neighbor had a moving truck pull up and played bagpipe "music" while it was here this morning. Very unusual.
You know I seriously don’t know why but I feel the need to mention again that you sound so much happier with the new channel! I mean seriously it’s making me feel better at the same time and I don’t even know why.
To me, Steve´s wheezing is a tad better than Sci´s mental state eroding a little bit more every time Steve hits the button.
I used to play as the Northwind Highlanders. One had a Highlander "wearing" a kilt made of leftover armor from defeated enemies.
I just played a highlander yesterday in a battle of classic and it rocked the whole enemy lance! This is the cherry on the top while i paint more miniatures
Bagpipes everytime the 'Mech was mentioned was indeed funny
I'm shocked Sci didn't hear the bagpipes coming, hahaha
The Highlander, for when you absolutely must have the enemy dead AND buried, but can't be assed digging a hole!
Great work, Steve.
The bagpipes are awesome! By 11 minutes in, I am dying with laughter!
Thoroughly enjoyed this video
I got unreasonably mad about the missed chances to bagpipe
The bagpipes is fucking hilarious.
Damn. I love this channel
it was the bagpipes that assured I'd watch the entire video
Favourite episode by far.
The bagpipes are iconic
I was dying every time the bagpipes played
LOL😂😂😂
Scottish has two t's pal.
Just finished the black Watch Episode so I was pleased to see this upload.
I'm Scottish myself and have a personal connection to the Black Watch as it was my Grandads Regiment, a WWII veteran who served in North Africa, Survived the D-day landings and fought across Europe as well as some other small conflicts after the end of WWII.
BORN TO BE KINGS!!
The bagpipes were indeed funny, I only wish it was a different rift each time 😂
The most fun I’ve head with a battletech vid since Tex released the Urbie vid
The artwork inconsistencies are classic. It's either a dozen plus stories tall or half that.
Firstly, it wouldn't be a millennial as it not the turn of the millennium, it would be a centurion.
Secondly, the bagpipes were hilarious, especially since I was listening in the supermarket and trying not to laugh out loud like a crazy person
I hate the damn bag pipes but i love your reaction to them... so overall win. Great video as always guys
MOAR BAGPIPES!
Highlander Pilot: THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!!!!
