I like the idea that he isn't THE Mission Control of the whole space rig. But just simply YOUR Mission Control that has been assisting you and your friend's missions since the moment you joined.
I like that idea. It adds a bit of a story to him. He starts out as an old miner promoted for his knowledge then put in charge of a group of greenbeards he has low expectations of, and watches them grow and succeed all while doing what little he can.
Exactly what I was gonna come down here to say.
This is something I imagine is the case for sheer common sense. He works with only a few teams, because there's just so much going on in a given mission that he isn't going to able to cover every single bug movement on the planet. So there's a pool of, say, fifty dwarves he watches over and there's other people in the same position as him all monitoring different, similarly sized groups. They then coordinate among themselves and at the behest of someone in lower management who's basically the same to them as he is to us. And so on and so forth up the company, while the Rig itself also has on-site storage, processing and refining, food production and other essential life-sustaining systems, and whatever else. Oh and maintenance, who probably don't have a good time most days when have the stuff we off the planet is jury-rigged to hell and back just so it _could_ get back.
I don't think he manages the entire mining taking place on the Planet, since the rig is so big, he barely references other crews during lost MULES or machine event, as if he had just uncovered them
You are always in space rig 17 so makes sense.
A normal day for mission control:
Multiple barrels in the launch tube, continuous harassment of the rockpox samples, awful dancing, getting drunk and passing out, hearing the team you sent down yell "WE'RE RICH!" for the next three hours, and the everlasting threat of being fired because of your team's actions.
I think the only reason he is rude sometimes is because of that last part. When your job's on the line because other people around you are unprofessional, you won't be gentle with them.
MUSHROOM
@@knightmare4134
MUSHROOM!
Also, the goo sack.
MUSHROOM
My headcanon is that Mission Control is the mission control for space rig 17 specifically, and that there is other mission controls for every rig. I think he was previously a dwarf who was so effecient in the caves that he was offered a promotion to mission control. However because he's been at the company so long that he is grumpier than the standard dwarves. He's probably fed up having to deal with management breathing down his neck, while also having to try and babysit the dwarves he's responsible for to get management off his back. So he's basically a low level manager who is constantly stressed about his job.
This is definitely it. He's clearly a dwarf too, but shaves his beard to please management, which is just another testament to the level of commitment required for his job, that could lead to his sour attitude.
Nah, they put him there for a reason. Dude can't even count but then again he prob wasn't an Engi. "Contact! We've got 4, wait 6, no, 12... A lot of aliens headed your way!" Lol
@@brettness1416 always thought that was because they were popping up so fast on the scanner.
@@enricobianchi4499 Maybe, I just like to mess with him. Never seen a swarm with just 4, even in my greenbeard days lol
@Brettness I always figured he was a scout at one point considering his fondness for the M1000 that he shows when you unlock it
I like to think that the reason Mission Control sounds especially agitated when you aren't in the uplink during salvage missions is due to the nature of salvage missions being the leftovers of a deceased crew. Mission Control has more than likely overseen these failed missions and could do nothing but helplessly witness the previous crew perish, he doesn't want to see that happen again and just wants you to make it out alive.
Yeah, I love the "you're jeopardizing the mission!" line. Me and my friend always yell it the second one of us does something non-objective related.
"you're jeopardizing the mission" three bulk detonators:
I think he does somewhat care about the safety of the team, especially as when you complete the Chapter 1 plaguefall mission, he explicitly tells the dwarves to be careful down the mines
@@hyanehighoctane It is especially clear on deep dives. “Try not to become glyphid chow”. If he didn’t care if you live or die, would he honestly wish for you to make it back?
@@zaniatnik To be fair it might also be a case of you can't just replace a veteran miner as easily.
5:50 To support the theory that he used to work ground level, at the end of the first or second mission of the second lithophage assignment he mentions seeing some meteor storms "back in his day".
as a counterpoint, couldn't that be referring to when he was still in Mission Control, but just a long time ago?
@@dagwill4340
Possibly, but "Back in my day" usually means "Back when I filled that position that I no longer fill" when talking to someone who's doing your old job or about your old job
Not really. I agree with the theory that he’s a retired or promoted miner, but if you read the actual voiceline
“Well done on making it back, Miners. The latest reports reveal a nasty narrative - it appears the amount of Lithophage-carrying meteors entering the atmosphere are increasing. And...I will be frank...I have seen many a meteor shower in my day, but these seem to be almost deliberately striking Hoxxes.”
I think it’s not so clear he means he’s seen meteor showers specifically as a miner
As much as I like conspiracy theories that inevitably spawn from DRG being a pretty mysterious organization, I think Mission Control is just about exactly as he seems. He's an older dwarf who's dealt with a lot, coordinates all kinds of missions every day, but ultimately does care about the dwarves he's in charge of. I think the Rockpox season briefing and the things he says between assignment missions has been most illustrative of this; he speaks like he genuinely cares when dwarves die or are lost, just sometimes he's more abrasive than other times. It's kind of crazy how much of a fleshed out character he is despite being, as you say, a picture of a guy.
He’s a legend, Rock and Stone!
Promotions is when you really get to see it. Rock N Stone!
Personally, I think Mission control is probably a human who was in one of the first mining teams used on Hoxxes IV, before DRG realized how dangerous it was and that they would need to use dwarves, not just any old employees.
Gruff, yet a heart of gold. Can you think of a more Dwarven personality?
I work in a job where we have people in Mission Control's equivalent position, and let me tell you, I am 100% unsurprised that MC can sound a bit exasperated at times :)
I honestly have grown to really like M.C.'s character. He first comes off as this superior you're inclined to despise (especially how he basically just assumes you're going to die during the tutorial), but as things go on, you really start to understand that he's got his own problems going on. Sure, he's got a cozier position at DRG, but he seems just as tired of nonsense as the Dwarves can be, and he's also got his own superiors, such as Management, that give him a hard time as much as (if not more than) what he does to rain on your parades.
In the end, he's sort of just the middle man, trapped in the same corporate machine. And he does his job with surprising effectiveness - I'm sure he gets an earful whenever a team gets wiped, barrels have to be fished out of somewhere weird, or that the Dwarves under his jurisdiction aren't meeting their quotas on time. Sure, you can envy the guy for not risking his neck down there with the bugs, but the man has his own monsters to deal with, in much less exciting ways.
I guess there's a good lesson in all that, really. Everyone's got their own stuff going on. He gives you a hard time simply because his own superiors are pressuring him, and maybe his own superiors are only keeping the pressure on him because of the expectations of their superiors - the chain going all the way to the top of DRG. M.C. is "Just A Guy", as they say.
I hope one day, during an event, we can see the guy genuinely enjoy himself a little. His position is 24/7, he's on duty even during the holidays... and his own seldom moments of character make him seem like a guy that maybe wouldn't be that bad to have a few drinks with someday. Maybe he'd enjoy kicking the barrels around, too, if Management wasn't so stern about it.
As a guy that got promoted from factory floor to the office recently, the people on the floor have NO idea. They think it's a cushy job cause I'm sitting down half the time, just like I thought before I experiences it, but it's so fucked in it's own way.
@@ForeverMasterless Grass is always greener, I suppose. Congrats on the promotion though!
I’d buy him a beer at the bar if the devs ever give us a chance to. Even if he turns out to prefer Leaf Lover’s. Whatever floats his boat.
@@zaniatnik Honestly, with how that stuff might be a wondercure for headaches, I could see it. The guy needs a break, however he gets it.
a mission control npc you can sit and have a drink with in the space rig would be awesome
I love the promotion speech he gives, every single time it gives me goosebumps and makes me genuinely happy to hear him say rock and stone
Its also the only time he ever says rock & stone so it makes it extra special :))
Dude spoiler alert I didn’t know you get a rock and stone from him 😢 greenbeard here obviously
@@poopyfartboiYou get one for every promotion, so make him proud. Rock and Stone!
Agreed, I've gotten 9 promotions total so far and havenever skipped the speech once, it does a great job of making all your hard work feel validated.
Robert designed Mission Control's appearance after himself, this is real
Two legends in the same space
Thank you information man
Base a cranky, obese, bald guy on myself?? Surely not...!
For me Mission Control is like the Benson of DRG. He hates when dwarfs do weird shit and just wants them to work efficiently, but he does care about them and would probably be a pretty chill guy if you got to know him.
I always viewed the Dwarves' relationship with Mission Control like with one of your bosses at work. Sometimes a killjoy, but just doing his job. Sometimes you're annoyed with him, but you don't hate him personally.
That and he's probably got management peeking over his shoulder at times, making sure he remains professional e.c.t
Exactly mission control is just a boss and is probably within ear shot of a member of management. He likely has to do maintainance or has been maintenance once so that's why he doesn't like some antics of the dwarfs.
He seems distant because he probably lost friends down in the mines. And I feel he was a miner at some point. Probably was moved up when injured in a way that forced him out of the mine.
What does “e c t” stand for?
@@sbraypaynt they mean "etc."
@@MyUsersDark indicating they have no idea what etc actually means or how to spell it or that it’s not an acronym.
@@sbraypaynt yeah
It's my personal headcannon that DRG is comprised of a myriad of fantasy races, with the Dwarves being the main workforce, mission control being comprised of mostly humans, RnD being Gnomes, Halflings being bacon delivery, and ofcourse management being none other than Goblins
I'd say management is made up by the elves
I think RnD is mostly humans, as RnD is a tech company in Satisfactory as well
@@wilkinscoffee4228 that would explain leaf lovers on the menu
@PileOfScrap R&D? Research & Development?
Elves, humans and trolls are mentionned all the time, but i believe the only reasons every miner is a Dwarf is due to their natural liking for mining
Personally, I like the idea that Mission Control was a human miner initially sent to Hoxxes before it was judged too dangerous for anyone but dwarves.
It'd explain why he both has undwarflike mannerisms, while also displaying signs of personal experience with field work.
What are these mannerisms?
@@brettness1416 | No love of dancing, different voice, told Management they shouldn't let you keep the gold you mine, expressed contempt towards alcoholism, no reverence towards MUSHROOM, etc.
@@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth says nothing about KOOORL
Nice theory, but imo he still kinda has stocky dwarf-like features and I personally like the idea of him just being an old dwarf who managed to live long enough to get a desk job at DRG and is just tired of all their bs
I think him being "un-dwarflike" is a result of his being at a desk job so long with Management constantly breathing down his neck, not to mention having to babysit dwarves doing the fun stuff he can't anymore, so ig that'd make anyone cranky. Also not having a beard anymore probably contributes to it lolol
However, he does show a bit of his dwarven side after all when you get a promotion, cuz he also salutes you with a: *"ROCK AND STONE, MINER!"* :P
Another interesting detail is the unique dialogue on unlocking new weapons. He specifically seems to admire the M1000 more than other guns, calling it a "good choice" and not being apprehensive at all. Given the M1000's description of a "several hundred year old design" along with it blatantly being an M1 Garand, it seems interesting MC would like the likely human designed gun more than the others. Perhaps because he used one back in his day?
In season 3, they added a voiceline for mission control where he says something along the lines “we are losing teams at an alarming rate, be careful down there miners” (the original voice line is way longer and more in depth) which really shows that he cares about the dwarves.
Even if he was a coldhearted corporate suit he'd still care about the miners, they are assets to the company and losing them is damaging to the company as a whole
Like Spyco says, Mission Control seemed quite distraught about all the rock pox casualties in the dialogues for the Plaguefall missions. He genuinely seems to care for the dwarves.
Honestly I can't help but feel that the existence of the Med Bay, where all "dead" dwarves go after mission and seem to actually be aware of what happened during the mission, really undermines any talk of "casualties" in the ranks as they'll simply be magically transported back onto the space rig and will endure being slightly groggy for 30 seconds before getting right back to work.
@@spectral_force5097 cloning
@@istvanbrooks5319 You're not ready to have a conversation about the ethical, moral, emotional, technological, and economical implications of cloning being possible in the world of DRG.
@@spectral_force5097 I'll come back in a year or two
@Spectral_Force tbh that's probably not canon. If we talking canon then any dwarf that doesn't leave the planet is dead, simple as that. We respawn because it's a game. The theories are nice but they are nothing more than headcanon. The idea that anything that happens in game is somewhat justified by the lore is something that Dark Souls introduced to the pubblic and it seems that gamers don't want to let go
Pinging mushroom reactions were some of the finest additions. Cant wait for more
"MuShRoOm mUsHrOoM, shut it!"
Shouldn't you people be mining instead of watching RUclips videos?! Get to it! Great stuff as always, Sniss! :D
The legend himself, cheers Robert we all appreciate you ⛏️
Rock and stone!
Rock and stone
Rock and Stone!
My theory: Mission Control is a real dwarf, possibly a sideways promoted miner, but due to the shear scale of his job he has an AI assistant he customised to *seem* like it's him. He also has an actual sound board of pre recorded messages or warnings so that he doesn't have to remeber the script each time or if his throat is sore that day.
I think hes a real person wherever he can (lets say like the first time something is said), but he's AI assisted an places he can't
itd be funny if the angry or annoyed lines are the only ones he actually says more than once manually
The problem with any theory involving pre-recorded messages is that it's just...true? Of course the messages sound like pre-recorded messages; that's what they actually are.
@@softreyna This is more about game lore than the actual game workings.
Either that or i’ve horribly misinterpreted your message.
5:13 also, i noticed that in the current season during the seasonal assignment he actually has unique dialogue talking about all the men lost to the rockpox and the danger it represents to the workers, not just the company's bottom line
My personal head canon was always that mission control was just your dwarf team's specific mission control. Like, there'd be an amount of people all working in mission control as operators and you'd get assigned one each mission, and the replaying voice lines are just the average repeated line you'd say at a job like that. Kinda similar to how every time you go to mcdonald's the people taking your order say really similar things despite being different people most of the time.
My theory is that he is Karl. He survived whatever event happened and had to take a backseat. But he still guides the dwarves to survival and riches. That’s why he cares about what you do. He has seen horror and does not wish it on anyone.
You're a great guy robert! i love DRG and have sunk over a thousand hours into it.
It's nice to see and confirm that DRG does have some 40K lovers in the crew. Thank you Robert for your big contribution in making DRG what it is today.
I'd guess all of them are. After hours tabletop games are wonderful for team-building.
Twenty bucks says that none of them play Votann
"Blah blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah blah blah."

"That guy at Mission Control, he sure has a cozy job."
-- funny dworf guy
I remember when season 3 dropped and I learned you could harass the lithophage. The first time he said “no its not submerged in alcohol and no you cannot drink it” had me dying.
I like the idea of MC being a old school dwarf that used to be one of the first dwarfs on the planet and got tired of the bugs and stuff and got promoted to being MC
I like to think he was part of a previous generation of miners. Like the same era Bet-C came from
My crack theory is that Mission Control is Karl, he was one of the first guys on hoxxes and did good enough in his time to be able to able to comfortably move into a management position, hes seen everything and now hes been worn down by years of bureaucracie, dwarven nonesense, and the numbness of part of your job being sending people to die. Nobody actually believes that the great and glorious Karl could ever retire though so myths and rumors start going around hoxxes about how he finally went out- in a blaze of glory. or at least thats what the myth's grown into after who knows how many years of the rumor mill
I think it was confirmed that Karl was a scout also, which could explain why management likes the m1000. It also isn't out of the question to combine two theories and have management be an ai based off of Karl who was actually lost on hoxxes.
That would have to mean the dwarves don't know that he's Karl. The dwarves deeply mourn Karl's loss and often wonder what he would do in whatever hellish situation they are currently stuck in. Karl was definitely a coworker and a really cool one at that.
I like to think that there are more than one mission control guy, the mission control we hear and see in the game could be the one that is assigned to us the players (with each player/team having another person)
I personally like the theory that he once was a on ground dwarve, or served In some combat. It’s common fact that he like the M1000
During one of the Dev streams on Thursdays and Fridays, they confirmed that Mission control is actually a human. Whether or not they were joking is kinda up for debate, but I'd say this is the true canon for mission control
Definitely a joke.
my headcannon is that every dwarf squad has their own mission control assigned to them (probably also does different squads on different shifts too)
If you want to experience what it's like to be Mission Control, go play Dwarf Fortress. You're managing a bajillion things at once, and the dwarves you're doing it for are as ungrateful as they are impressively stupid.
I haven’t played Dwarf Fortress (mainly cuz i don’t have Compressed Gold) but Plague Inc’s cure mode nails it pretty well. Never have i wanted the option to kill people more than it that particular mode.
The promotion message is just a pre recorded voicemail they send to try and make employees think of the company as a family instead of a company that doesnt care for them. There is no love
I was so surprised to hear that the voice of mission control is actually one of the founders of GSG, he definitely sounds like a professional voice actor.
I think mission control is potentially an elf, you can’t see his ears because they’re covered by his headphones. He’s classically against all dwarven antics, need I say more?
He has the disgusting dwarf multi-chin though, I don't think that's an elf trait
No way he’s an elf, he’s never seen green food a day in his life with a dad bod like that! He’s either a human slaving away at a corporate hellscape or a dwarf who’s lost his ancestral roots!
@@gloriousbeard9054 maybe an elf raised by dwarves?
Nah, I've always assumed he's a human. Some folks say he's a dwarf, but he lacks any and all gruffness.
@@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth id chock that up to him having that job for so long.
and that one piece of fanart of him at a water cooler sad while thinking of a team hanging out drinking beers
makes me think he has some envy towards you.
you get to dance and drink while he cant.
come on sniss, you don't need hooks.
i watch your videos cuz they're pog.
also, DRG being run by humans kinda makes sense.
We need moar Bosco drip... and more beards, now I think that Bosco should be given the option to have a beard
I like the mission control guy. In my head, he's the guy that's actually part of your crew of dumbasses but managed to get into an important position to cover your crew of dumbasses while you're doing dumbass stuff on Hoxxes. He plays the grumpy "protocol very important" guy but he never really does anything about it, he's just there so that management doesn't decide to flush your homies in outer space. Thanks Robert, you're a cool mission control guy
You missed one where after one of the lithopage outbreak missions he talks about how while you were down there a few teams were lost which he sounds pretty sad about
He's probably not an A.I., but I imagine that he recorded a promotion script a few times and then plays one from a soundboard when we get promoted. However when he gets really angry (putting barrels into the drop pod, pinging mushrooms, etc.) he is actually turning on his mic.
mission control talks so much that he haunts my dreams
Robert, you're a cool guy in the comments!
One of my favorite mission control lines was the fourth and seventh (i think) completions in the Season 3 assignment.
It was so somber and he sounded genuinely upset that so many teams had been lost due to the lithophage and it made me really sad and realize that despite his general grumpy attitude genuinely cared for all of the dwarves he has guided
I always assumed that Leaf Lover's being there "to please management" was more about elves also being workers who order from those standardized company issue bars, not necessarily management. We have no idea how big the company DRG is, elves may be the primary office workers far away from any danger.
Makes senses
Humans for standard mining
Orcs for slighty dangerous operations
And Dwarves for the most dangerous "fuck you" type of planets
@@matheusexpedito4577I don't trust a bunch of Orcs with pickaxes lmao. If anything, Orcs would probably be the ones doing dumb labor like sorting through the heavy chunks of minerals, rocks and stones. Humans would definitely be working with industrial machinery on more earth-like planets, and I can definitely see a bunch of stuck up elves being the ones to crunch the logistical nightmare that a galaxy spanning company would be!
Mushroom?
MUSHRROOM
Mushroom, mushroom," shut it! Get back to work!
I'm surprised you didn't mention his voicelines after missions in the two plaguefall assignments. I feel like he's showing some genuine care there.
Regardless, good video, thank you!
I have a theory I like to call the Multi-Species Corporation Theory. I like to think dwarves aren’t the only species working for Deep Rock Galactic, and dwarves only have specific jobs in the company. I was discussing it with my friend and we came up with a few ideas. Goblins work as janitors and live in a secret room, gnomes design and make the pickaxe parts, orcs help make drop pods and rigs by doing heavy lifting, and a whole list of species.
Elves are probably Management, seeing as there’d be no way in any kind of group of hells it’d be there if Management was _any_ other race.
art direction is absolutely one of my favorite things about DRG so damn good job so far robert
Also, I kind of want Ghost Ship Games to release a little spin-off game, maybe on April Fools, where you get to play in the position of Mission Control.
You're in a booth, there's multiple screens where you can monitor the dwarves' vitals and their camera POV, there's another screen where you can monitor the landscape and alert the team of any bugs coming in, you send in the supply pod, and just generally do what Mission Control does.
An unofficial 5th class where you can play with your friends. A bit like *Papers, Please* mixed with FNAF (original). Though, management is a lot stricter on you, and you get deductions for every wrong thing you do, but bonuses for efficiency and doing your job well.
Five Nights at Hoxxes
MANY mission controls were harmed in the making of this video.
(pasue) - this is like a page out of my own scripts
thanks for being so cool Robert I are the best woo yea
Awesome editing on this video btw. Seriously some crazy aesthetic shit that I can’t even do.
Just try not to get too caught up with making the visuals too perfect. It’s an easy habit to get into, but if it starts holding you back from uploading as much as you want to, it might be best to take it easy a little bit.
Realistically, the viewers stay for your humor, storytelling, and informational content. The edits are just the cherry on top, and nobody will notice if a couple of transitions aren’t perfect or something lol
Anyways, amazing content man, keep it up. Just figured I’d comment this to help you avoid a burnout or whatnot
Classic Stallion GD W
I wouldn't mind getting some different profile/emotive shots of mission control that reflect the contents of what he's saying. Pride/happiness when congratulating you on a promotion, Anger/disgust for when you kick barrels or tag compressed gold too much, and fear/anxiety when a swarm is upon you. Excellent vid as always!
I really like mission control! He is like a grandpa or an uncle that oversees his wacky nephews. And honestly I only warm feelings about him, he was genuinely sad and sorry when he was talking about crews that has been lost because of the litophage, and yea dwarves can be like "cozy job bla bla" but honestly maybe that guy is being fucked with job to do by the tops of DRG so that's why goes bazinga when you ping mushrooms. I also like to imagine DRG is a multi-species corporation and he is the boss of a dwarven department
Everyone forgets about Mission controlls voicelines for the 3rd season asignments, he sounds genuinelly worried about the dwarves.
You're a cool dude, Robert!
Mission Control is Karl. The best miner ever seen by DRG, then they made up the legend of him staying behind on Hoxxes forever when he retired and got a comfier desk job. (Not actually what I think, just random theory that popped into my head while watching)
It's a cool idea honestly, it ties up with Mission Control's liking for traditional weapons/gear and distaste for newer/prototypes
Every video you make is such high quality, I always have a good time watching them!
me and one of my friends believe that mission control spawns in the swarms just because sometimes these swarm announcements happen at the worst possible time.
my headcannon is that mission control is a dwarf that started the same as our characters but he was raised by elves (which is why hes such a buzz kill) and management noticed that and gave him a promotion dwarves would never normally accept being stuck behind a desk instead of mining
Thanks for being so cool Robert u are the Best woo yeah
an other point towards the MC liking the dwarves is a line when you finish some lithophage related assignment when he says that you did a good job but during your misson 3 teams where lost to the infection and the intonation and delivery feels like he cares a LOT
Thanks for the past few years of great fun, Robert!
I love mision control's voice acting and writing, with the exception of how lightly he treats the lives of past miners during Salvage operations
Could we get a Rival Company theory video next? I think they might be elves, seeing as elves and dwarves and elves don't exactly like each other, and elves are generally more advanced than dwarves. And if there's anybody who wouldn't want to get their hands dirty on Hoxxes, it'd be those snobby elves. For these reasons, I believe the Rival robots probably belong to those leaf-lovers. What do you think of this, and other theories?
There's also a few Elf-related quotes the Dwarves say when killing Patrol Bots
I love Mission control now that I'm an old graybeard. When I started I hated that guy but just because he's kinda grumpy and impatient doesn't mean he's a jerk. He's a co worker, a part of our team. The sour attitude is clearly from his years working for DRG, he's not a bad guy. He's just tired and probably the most patient commander us dwarves could have. We're not always easy to deal with for non dwarves
the editing on this video is really slick and understated, great stuff
love the video, id honestly would really like to see more missions types in DRG there's one idea id been having.
Think about it, it's never really explained how the Dwarves get back on the Space Rig after they fail a mission. so to solve this loophole i came up with a new mission ✨Extraction✨ basically the objective is to rescue and extract injured dwarves and take them back to the space rig, maybe molly would be outfitted with a basket or a stretcher attachment to "deposit" the Dwarves i think that would be very cool. Idk if the company of Deep Rock Galactic would care that much to "rescue" Dwarves, but seeing that they have a medical bay shows that they at least care a little bit. anyways ROCK AND STONE!⛏⛏⛏
As an author, I gotta hand it to you. Telling me that was a hook was a pretty good hook, I’ll be honest
I just discovered your channel and i have to say, the way you talk and the expressions that you use make you a very likable person and someone you'd want to be around with, so i'll stick around ! Rock and Stone brother
Nobody listed "scanner just lit up like a christmas tree!.." as their fav line
day ruined
Love the editing on this one man! You leveled up!
I love it when sniss uploads more quality-dwarf content!
Keep up the amazing work!
Mission Control also is deeply upset by seeing Dwarves die as evidenced by the Plaguefall event Assignments
Thanks robert for being a really good voice actor i lov ur voice acting so much but i dont have the right words to describe which parts i lov!!!! thank u!! :)))
the editing in this video is top notch! good work! Rock n stone, miner!!
Last one to rock and stone buys first round back at the abyss bar.
My current headcanon is that Mission Control is a dwarf that got injured on Hoxxes to the point that he's no longer able to mine, so he was shunted to an office job where he has to follow rules thought up by Management to appease the leaf-lovers like "No beards longer than 2 inches allowed" or "No drinking on the job" and he's bitter about his new job but sees the newer dwarves like younger brothers so he tries to keep them alive and in the good graces of Management.
I really like the idea that mission control (whether he is the only one or not) is human, and that humans and dwarves have lived together peacefully as allies for a very long time.
Another instant certified Sniss classic
Congrats on hitting 44,4k subs btw, truly a milestone of all time
i truly feel bad for mission control, the job of keeping thousands of dwarves alive must be stressful even without the dwarven shenanigans
Hes just an angry little fella fed up with his job, can't wait for Season 4: Mission Control Snaps!
A DRG wild mass guess over on TV Tropes implies that Mission Control is actually an old Karl who got kicked upstairs and drinks because of the grief that greenbeards are constantly dying because they're trying to emulate his glory days
you made my morning :D thank you
Mission control: *Complains about mushrooms and compressed gold being pinged*
Dwarves: You said we ain't getting paid by the hour, so there's all the incentive ping those things.
I have my own person head cannon that drg is in the same universe as the “suits” short from love death and robots season 1, the bugs in that look very much like glyphid grunts. And it’s my favourite of the shorts, as well as drg being my favourite game. It doesn’t have to be true but I like the idea that that’s humans on a different planet with alternate versions of glyphids swarming.
The dance montage made *my* day. Thank you.
I love the mission control guy. i think hes definitely a real person and not an AI, as he talks about his holidays getting cancelled.
This video was already 10/10 but that Hypnospace Outlaw music in the back pushed it up to a 11/10 with a little gold star that says very good
thx for the gold star i will cherish it
I like to think he's a really old scout who's so used to carrying the team they just gave him a radio and control tower. He's secretly jealous of the fun the teams have kicking barrels and dancing around, but he cares for them almost like extended family. Even the empty threats when you mess with the space rig make him sound like that great uncle that scolds you when your parents are around, but secretly lets you get away with using fireworks...
"You know you're not getting paid by the hour" That's exactly why I'm dancing!
just stumbled upon your channel, great work dude! I really love your drg videos keep it up :D
I do like the idea his frustrations come from a genuine concern for our safety
“Yes yes. Your rich. Now go get some bitches”
-actually quote
I like to think that it is 4 dwarves on Rig 17, and the rest of the hundreds doing administration and support is for those.
I like the idea he’s a clone like the dwarves most likely are and there’s just a room full of these dudes
Robert is a cool dude woo yea! haha
This is the only channel I will watch every video fully with incredible interest, and relate to. Thank you for this channel sniss :)
when it comes to whether or not Mission Control likes the dwarfs.
I get more the impression that he's a frustrated parent. annoyed and mad when they do something stupid or don't listen. But shows moments of proudness and care for said dwarfs when they accomplish something or if they die. My personal theory as to his identity. Is that he's a retired miner who could still be useful with his wisdom and experience and thus got a promotion. And probably sees his younger self in the miners he has to work with.
Mission control probably doesn’t like the newer weapons because he doesn’t get to play around with them but he got to play around with the only ones on missions
