As a new-come to the channel, interested in anything about my boy Garrus, I saw Meer's picture and wondered why it was there. Then the narration began and "HOLD ON, MARK MEER IS ACTUALLY VOICING THIS????"
He can make Commander Shepard and a sniper rifle dance, and make it look beautiful. He is the interstellar bro and best buddy you can find in the Galaxy. And most imporantly... He'll calibrate your heart to love him at first sight. Ladies and gentlemen, Garrus Vakarian
This was an awesome episode. Thanks cannot do justice to Mark Meer, for contributing to this episode in his iconic role of Commander Shepard, thank you for narrating this episode and doing a homage to one of the many amazing characters that accompanied Shepard on his journey
That ending though. Meer you cheeky f*ck! lmao I was pumped that Garrus was getting a video but, to hear Shepard himself narrating for "The Best Alien Bro since Chewbacca" was amazing! The Institute definetly needs to get him to do one more video for Tali. And thank you so much Mr. Meer for indulging the fandom like this!
Honestly, I have no idea why, but my morals prevent me from doing so in a video game. I'll gladly play the bad guy, but I can never bring myself to play a BAD bad guy.
that's kind of amusing to me, because I played around a 75/25 paragon/renegade? but like... every interaction with garrus was the renegade option XD I think mostly because it was things like "will you kill the guy who got you're entire squad killed for (I don't actually know, but I think it was the stellar equivalent of four hundred bucks, and burger?)" and frankly, yeah, fuck that guy. can't stand traitors.
@Lord Inquisitor Steiner von Willhelm Lord Inquisitor... I regret to tell you that your favorite purging weapon has been...uh...borrowed by the Blood Ravens...
" I don't know if turian Heaven is the same as yours. But if this thing goes sideways and we both end up there, meet me at the bar. I'm buying" Side note, I was so excited to hear that iconic voice! Keep on keeping on Shepard!
I love Jennifer Hale as much as the next fanboy/girl, but goddamn am I happy to hear Mark back at it. You can even tell the nuance between his narrator voice and his "Commander" voice, with one being a lot less stern and more passive. Would've loved a cameo by Mr. Calibrations himself, but this will do. This is *definitely* my favorite dossier at the Institute. "I'm Commander Shepherd" indeed.
I played games my whole life and no character felt as much as a friend as did Garrus. Simply the best. Great video, amazing that you got Shep for the narration.
As soon as I heard that voice, the hair on the back of my neck stood up, I stopped washing the dishes and teared up. Wow what a fantastic surprise! Thank you templin Institute, you make some of the best videos.
Did you know: the bridge Garrus held against the mercs on Omega was named after him - however, Garrus asked the name to be changed. No one crosses Garrus Vakarian and lives.
Holy SHIT! Commander Shepard!!! What a Guest narration! My heart....can't take it.... ....it's been.....so....long.... Thank you for this.....seriously.....thank you.....
Garrus the living embodiment of a bro just had his life reviewed by his bro. This is epic, mark you and jennifer are truly great people I love you both. thank you for the great work you did in mass effect and supporting great youtubers.
Wow, that was a most unexpected delight! Having the voice of Shepard himself voice this tribute was as fitting as anything could be. I don't know how you pulled this off, but hats off to you, sirs and madams.
I like how I didn't notice it was Mark Meer at first, but 3 or 4 minutes I was like ''Hold on a second, Is this fucking voice actor of Commander Shepard?'' So yeah, A+++ Templin for getting this legend to perform this investigation.
Ah, Garrus. My go-to guy/Turian whenever a mission called. Gotta love that guy :) Also kudos for getting Cmdr. Shepard himself to go over the dossier. Awesome hearing his voice again :)
That's awesome that you got Mark Meer to do the voice. I love how he is active in the fan community. Just watched a star wars fan film last night where Mark Meer played the lead stormtrooper. It was great! Edit: fixed spelling.
The quads on this channel getting none other than Commander Shepard! To narrate a video on the best bro character in video game history. Thank you Templin Institute and Thank you Mark Meer for your work.
Oh this is awesome! I love how to made this video in a way where you don’t commit to any specific choices made over the Mass Effect games. Can’t wait to see what other guest narrators come later! Might I suggest having Janina Gavankar do a dossier on Iden Versio?
It took me a second to realize that that was Shepherd's voice and I think Shepherds voice describing Garris was spot-on I don't know how you got him to do it but it was beautiful
Best video to date! This channel continues to amaze and supprise me with every upload. Garrus is one of my all time favourite characters on any platform and you did him proud.
Once, I did a ME1 play-through where I never recruited Garrus, to see what changes this wrought in ME2 and ME3. As you might hope and/or expect, they're all changes for the worse.
The dreaded G-Man! Damn, now that was a bro that stuck with you through thick and thin. Also, he managed the impossible. Got Shepard to dance proper...
I loved this. Perhaps you could do more mass effect based content? Maybe even with Mark Meet again, or other voice actors from the series. Thanks again for your content :)
Thanks so much to Mark Meer for assisting the Templin Institute in this investigation!
The Templin Institute how did you get him?
@Tesla-Effect Talking about Revan!
This was awesome. I hope he'll be on again! =)
Oh my god, you actually managed to have him on board???
I'm very much in shock and awe, I'm curious how you got him to agree to this. But I'm more impressed he actually did it.
"Oh hey, a guest narrator. I wonder who it- MARK MEER?"
Legitimately my reaction. Amazing documentation as always.
As a new-come to the channel, interested in anything about my boy Garrus, I saw Meer's picture and wondered why it was there. Then the narration began and "HOLD ON, MARK MEER IS ACTUALLY VOICING THIS????"
Hell yeah!
Oh hi Mark
I’ll see myself out…

Ultimate Space Bro Garrus!
I was like "it's not Larissa? I'm disappointed." But then "Holy shit, it's Commander Shepard, I'm not disappointed anymore"
Same,I was so suprised i had to pause the video just to take everything in.So cool.
Shepard....
Wrex...
There is no Shepard, without Vakarian.
“I’m Commander Shepherd and this is my favorite RUclips channel”
Only 90s kids will get this meme
Jin Roh is so good
Mark Meer is the best Commander Shepard
Looks like you didn't listen to 8:12 :P
“And this is my favorite channel on RUclips.”
Can it wait for a bit? I'm in the middle of some calibrations.
😂😂😂😂 only 1.2%
ruclips.net/video/ZPbB4qfsA14/видео.html In case you needed another reason to take garrus with you
Meeeh... now i want a Dossier about you Handsome Jack :D
Jack, aren't you supposed to be dead?
@@Kirifairy Basically a comedy version of the illusive man. Hell, they both share the name Jack
There's no Shepard without Vakarian
Damn right you are.
yes
No way!!! Shepard is talking about Garrus! Institute, how did you do this!? I am crying right now, thank you. I love your chanel more and more!
Garrus must have calibrated templin institute.
the efficiency of the channel was just increased by .34%
Only FemShep is true Shep
You they got her on call when they do a dossier on Liara T'Soni or Tali
@@MrTohawk Nah, maleshep is the only Shepard.
@@MrTohawk get out.
He can make Commander Shepard and a sniper rifle dance, and make it look beautiful. He is the interstellar bro and best buddy you can find in the Galaxy. And most imporantly... He'll calibrate your heart to love him at first sight.
Ladies and gentlemen, Garrus Vakarian
You god danm right, брат)
How would we make another man dance?
@@madkabalNot at all. Citadel DLC, Femshep, Garrus Romance.
@@Momo14198 I wish though, Garrus a bi would be nice. But otherwise, best character ever, he should have his own game!
The most interesting Turian in the Galaxy.
This was an awesome episode. Thanks cannot do justice to Mark Meer, for contributing to this episode in his iconic role of Commander Shepard, thank you for narrating this episode and doing a homage to one of the many amazing characters that accompanied Shepard on his journey
Good, but kinda too official, like service record from file. No mention of Garrus good humor and close friendship with Shepard.
@@Alvaro89Rus Shepard would be too humble to mention themselves or feel uncomfortable doing so.
Mark Meer isn't bad but it's Jennifer Hale who will forever be Commander Shepard to me.
Best cannon calibrator in Citadel space (and beyond)
And it isn't even a fanfiction its a weil calibrated canon thing
That ending though. Meer you cheeky f*ck! lmao I was pumped that Garrus was getting a video but, to hear Shepard himself narrating for "The Best Alien Bro since Chewbacca" was amazing!
The Institute definetly needs to get him to do one more video for Tali. And thank you so much Mr. Meer for indulging the fandom like this!
;)
Lol at Mark Meer's Ending line. very clever. :P
I wanted to play Mass Effect acting like a total douchebag. But I could never be a douche towards Garrus, he's too awesome to deserve a scolding!
Honestly, I have no idea why, but my morals prevent me from doing so in a video game. I'll gladly play the bad guy, but I can never bring myself to play a BAD bad guy.
that's kind of amusing to me, because I played around a 75/25 paragon/renegade? but like... every interaction with garrus was the renegade option XD I think mostly because it was things like "will you kill the guy who got you're entire squad killed for (I don't actually know, but I think it was the stellar equivalent of four hundred bucks, and burger?)" and frankly, yeah, fuck that guy. can't stand traitors.
Garrus, the true alien bro in the entire galaxy.
You won't have any other then him.
@Lord Inquisitor Steiner von Willhelm if you try to hurt Garrus Valkarian. You will have a guardian of light as your enermy
@Lord Inquisitor Steiner von Willhelm Lord Inquisitor... I regret to tell you that your favorite purging weapon has been...uh...borrowed by the Blood Ravens...
Did... did you just... is that... COMMANDER SHEPARD?!
*faints due to awesomeness*
(Thank you Mark Meer, you're awesome!)
I'm a hug commander Shepard fan it's Great to hear Mark Meer's voice again after so long hope to see or we'll hear his voice in another video game
I would give just about anything to hear him voice Commander Shepard again in another ME game.
I know how you feel
If Mass Effect comes out with Another game I would love it if Mark Meer was in it or at least did Shepard or someone equally likable
@@sircrimsonwolf7492 Yea. I would also love him to voice someone else besides Shepard.
'There is no Shepard without Vakarian'
" I don't know if turian Heaven is the same as yours. But if this thing goes sideways and we both end up there, meet me at the bar. I'm buying"
Side note, I was so excited to hear that iconic voice! Keep on keeping on Shepard!
"Were a team, Garrus. There's no Shepard without Vakarian. So you better remember to duck."
So great with Mark's Narration
I love Jennifer Hale as much as the next fanboy/girl, but goddamn am I happy to hear Mark back at it. You can even tell the nuance between his narrator voice and his "Commander" voice, with one being a lot less stern and more passive.
Would've loved a cameo by Mr. Calibrations himself, but this will do. This is *definitely* my favorite dossier at the Institute.
"I'm Commander Shepherd" indeed.
Now Jennifer Hale needs a guest spot for Wrex's dossier
Nah....she should do a Mordin Solus Narration! “Mordin! Walk away!”
Easily one of Bio-wares best characters and obvious fan favorite. Glad to see he is still remembered.
Garrus quits the space police to become Space Batman
literal sarcasm more like space punisher based on how many people he kills
How did they get Mark Meer to do this?
two words: Asari prostitutes
Hes a pretty chill dude so they probably just asked him tbh
Indoctrination
Asked him? Dude does a bunch of side projects like this sometimes just for the fun of it!
Gamer Poop once got him to actually say "We'll Bang, OK?"
I played games my whole life and no character felt as much as a friend as did Garrus. Simply the best.
Great video, amazing that you got Shep for the narration.
Garrus and Commander Shepard almost sounds like Citadel cop show
One is a Turian and the other is a Human, together, they fight crime!
And robots
Robots is a type of crime! Why don't have a legal basis for that but they are!
TangledVirus Don't tell ED or Joker
„Let's see what's new on YT, hmm...
Oh Templin released a video about Garrus, cool."
[Few seconds into the video]: „KEELAH!"
As soon as I heard that voice, the hair on the back of my neck stood up, I stopped washing the dishes and teared up. Wow what a fantastic surprise! Thank you templin Institute, you make some of the best videos.
The greatest bro, sidekick and friend in history of video games. Period.
Did you know: the bridge Garrus held against the mercs on Omega was named after him - however, Garrus asked the name to be changed. No one crosses Garrus Vakarian and lives.
Holy SHIT! Commander Shepard!!!
What a Guest narration! My heart....can't take it....
....it's been.....so....long....
Thank you for this.....seriously.....thank you.....
OH MY GOD DON"T YOU GUYS DARE!! You going to cover Mass Effect OH good lord I can't handle this!! THIS CHANNEL JUST GETS BETTER AND BETTER!!!!!
7:19 Not that he really needed to worry about his survival after ascending to become a God amongst men in Mass Effect 3...
Having Commander freaking Shepard saying "There is no greater friend than Garrus Vakarian" You win the internet.
I think I screamed when I heard Mark Meer start his narration. You guys are amazing! Keep it going! We're going places!
Garrus the living embodiment of a bro just had his life reviewed by his bro. This is epic, mark you and jennifer are truly great people I love you both. thank you for the great work you did in mass effect and supporting great youtubers.
Wow, that was a most unexpected delight! Having the voice of Shepard himself voice this tribute was as fitting as anything could be.

Words can't describe how happy i am to hear thay voice again! Thank you Templin Institute!
Outstanding work! Great to hear Mark again.
I've only played Mass Effect for a few hours and here you are with a video about one of my favourite characters. Awesome.
Now we need Mark Meer to help Co-Host a Stellaris Invicta stream. Glory to the GTU, TERRA INVICTA!
I like how I didn't notice it was Mark Meer at first, but 3 or 4 minutes I was like ''Hold on a second, Is this fucking voice actor of Commander Shepard?''
So yeah, A+++ Templin for getting this legend to perform this investigation.
Holy crap! So impressed you guys got Mark Meer to voice this!
Sweet, you got Commander Shepherd to do one of your dossiers! You guys rock!
Ah, Garrus. My go-to guy/Turian whenever a mission called. Gotta love that guy :)
Also kudos for getting Cmdr. Shepard himself to go over the dossier. Awesome hearing his voice again :)
This voice...brought back memories from long ago. Thank you very much, really...thank you.
Love Mark Meers Dedication/ Love of Mass Effect and to his Characters
That's awesome that you got Mark Meer to do the voice. I love how he is active in the fan community.
Just watched a star wars fan film last night where Mark Meer played the lead stormtrooper. It was great!
Edit: fixed spelling.
Thank you so much for making a video to the best bro and sniper in the Mass Effect Universe. Garrus has to be the most loyal friend in the ME world!
Once again you guys deliver, and holy hell good work on getting THE Commander Shepard.
That ending about Garrus, man, he spoke from my heart!
Garrus is my space-bro forever!
What!? How!? I love it! I don’t know how you got Mark Meer to do the voice over, but it made my day!
The quads on this channel getting none other than Commander Shepard! To narrate a video on the best bro character in video game history. Thank you Templin Institute and Thank you Mark Meer for your work.
I can’t believe you guys got Mark Meer to do this! Talk about a great Christmas present! Amazing video as always.
This was calibrated perfectly.
Garrus...thats my boy. Always calibrating those weapons for me.
Best Mass Effect content of recent years. Wow!
God I fucking love the Mass Effect trilogy. Making me nostalgic watching this. Great work.
It's videos like this , that keep me and the memory of the commander in this world . For all this I am grateful to you , templin institute .
It feels more like a eulogy, for the character and the franchise. I love it.
This is literally the best thing I've seen on RUclips.
Oh this is awesome! I love how to made this video in a way where you don’t commit to any specific choices made over the Mass Effect games. Can’t wait to see what other guest narrators come later! Might I suggest having Janina Gavankar do a dossier on Iden Versio?
Your choice to have the voice of Shepard speak about his best friend Garrus is incredibly beautiful!
Brilliant. Thank you for this Mark. Kudos to the Institute for organizing this.
Garrus, best Bro in all of videogames. Even the calibrations were worth it in the end
🤣
I LOVE this vid, it sounds like Shepard is talking about his old friend again.... I am so moved
This is fantastic. Great job guys! Thank you to Mark for doing this.
Getting Mark Meer to do this episode was too much... Greatly done
It took me a second to realize that that was Shepherd's voice and I think Shepherds voice describing Garris was spot-on I don't know how you got him to do it but it was beautiful
This is proof Commander Shepard survived.
Best video to date! This channel continues to amaze and supprise me with every upload. Garrus is one of my all time favourite characters on any platform and you did him proud.
Any one else play as a female just to romance Garrus?
(I did)
✋
Guilty as charged
YEP
No one can resist that voice
Garrus' legend should live on, and I am thankful that the voice actor of Commander Shepard narrated his story!
Mark meer will always be my version of Sheperd. for his acting and his fun-loving character on events. He really loved his role.
How does this not have a million views?!
Even while looking with my special eyes I couldn't believe it was Mark Meer! This is awesome!
Cannot believe you got The Shepard. Well done to the whole team
Squadmates come and go. But Tali and Garrus are always there for you.
Man, now I have to replay mass effect, again. Thanks a lot templin institute, there goes the next few weeks of my life...
Tis an honor to have commander Sheppard as our narrator for this video!
"I'm Garrus Vakarian and this is my rectum!" (mans1ay3r
reference)
Beautifully done
Once, I did a ME1 play-through where I never recruited Garrus, to see what changes this wrought in ME2 and ME3.
As you might hope and/or expect, they're all changes for the worse.
A toast to the greatest space bro since Chewbacca.
The Templin Institute has outdone itself this time.
This is marvellous , it's beautiful !
The dreaded G-Man! Damn, now that was a bro that stuck with you through thick and thin. Also, he managed the impossible. Got Shepard to dance proper...
OK THIS IS MY NEW FAV TEMPLIN VID JUST BECAUSE OF MARK MEER.
Great video. Garrus was always my favorite character in the game.
Garrus BROkarian
Best tech sniper that you could ever hope for.
"Go on and give them hell, you were born to do this."
-Garrus
Love that this is narrated by Shepard!! Been catching up on your videos. Absolutely phenomenal stuff!
I loved this. Perhaps you could do more mass effect based content? Maybe even with Mark Meet again, or other voice actors from the series.
Thanks again for your content :)
Wow, it didn't even take me 1 Minute until I had goosebumps! So awesome!!
Having the actual voice actor was a pretty fuckin cool touch
Too early for calibrations?
Garrus is a brother to everyone who played Mass Effect. And to have Mark Meer talk about him. There’s no better person to talk about Garrus then him
YES! YES! YES!
Side note: Hey, can you make a lore video about the Wesari, from the invasion to the current standing in the GTU?
Awesome Video.
Special thanks to the guest.
Great voice. He should make more Videos with you.
