@SirConto well, if they are their daughter it would be the same. if they were born a male they would be named hogarth, and they would think about that and prob think it was funny, you are the person in friend groups that corrects people for a meaningless reason
Sam wasn't locked up. He was just applying the rat strat to Kenshi. He got 24 days of infinite food and protection on the hardest difficulty while doing nothing.
Kenshi has difficulty > kek Kenshi is hard > double kek The only hard mode is playing as a base hiver (or an animal without humans but that's just suffering mode, also pointless), and setting limb loss chance to max... And even then you can stay out of trouble and get the best stuff real easy.
Do the runaway work camp slaves that escape North Korea not immediately run South? Because if they ran north, they'd just hit another communist hellhole lmao
@Mekose wait, you HEAR text? so what, do you read Vocals then?? i am confused, please help me. EDIT: the fact that people STILL lose their shit because of this is hilarious! comment is well over 2 months old, and yet you still act like kids lol. i love RUclips comments man, makes my day each time people lose their shit when they don't get the response they want out of me lmfao!
@TheRealHummingBeard hear /hɪə/ verb past tense: heard; past participle: heard 1. perceive with the ear the sound made by (someone or something). "behind her she could hear men's voices" 2. be told or informed of. "have you heard the news?"
honestly if the slavers just used him as a slave like they probably planned, they'd not have so many issues, but instead they birthed a one armed Lockpicking Lawyer
Sorry it's it's absolutely impossible to not get Schindler's list flashbacks lol... With the highly skilled one arm stamp press operator.. and I guess you got to think to yourself... If the situation were reversed with this guy.. It would be so much worse for everyone in those cages..
@thederp9309 If you can pick locks with your mouth or feet, then you probably give bomb head and footjobs tbh and I applaud your dedication to your craft
I'm really enjoying all of the stuff Sam has been doing this year. Not only Die of Laughter but bringing back mail time, Reddit's worst recipes, the hiking trip, all of it is has been really good. And also being a Dad, having to deal with 2 little girls AND Abby? That's gotta be be tough. Mad love for General Sam, keep it up dude you're killing it.
@mirceazaharia2094 The night I got home from Latvia, a random ICE agent on the street noticed the tattoo I got in prison and now I’m being shipped off to El Salvador forever. Shame!
It's even funnier if you know that in kenshi you get a -10 lockpick debuff when picking the lock to your own cage. It wasn't that he was in a harder cell, the game was just rubbing salt in his eyes
This is like when you sit down at a restaurant, watch people come in, get served, leave, get replaced by more people who get served, all while you're still waiting for your order.
We need more games like Kenshi that have grey "game over" states. Even if your last character dies, you don't see a "game over" screen, you just get to a point where you can't really do anything. It makes for a more emergent experience.
That’s what softlocking is. Normally seen as a bug in games, but I agree it adds a cool dynamic when it’s intentional. Makes you think outside the box, or cage in this instance 😉
@nesano4735 No? its seen as a bug because often softlocking is a bug, like getting stuck in a corner and you cant move, or falling through the map repeatedly
Those cages are notorious for being a game ender. Basically the guard ai will not take you out ever. Sam got lucky with prisoners coming in and out, sometimes that never happens.
Most gamers would get locked in a cage with no control and say that they're "soft locked". Sam saw opprotunity. Free food, free shelter, unlimited Skill Share lockpicking lessons. Sam was thriving on the hardest difficulty.
Gotta say this was one of the extraordinarily rare cases that not even Sam could make a game/situation in a game seem the slightest bit fun in any way lol
Literally just played the Kenshi playlist, reminiscing on good times. Almost had to do a double take on this one. It feels like cheating being entertained like this for free.
That's monstrous that they just left you in a cage to rot because you only had one arm. As a more progressive slaver, I would have let you out to break rocks in the desert heat all day long with the best of 'em.
If the world ever becomes an apocalyptic wasteland I feel like Sam’s family is gonna become like his Kenshi characters, with Abby as the big brute clan boss of course.
Sam, you might be delighted to know theres a mod called "Become a true noble" that lets you buy your way into nobility. You basically get a tiny paper that says "i get to do anything i want", 100 relations with UC, and the ability to walk up to mostly any UC soldier or citizen and demand they join your crew. If i remember correctly, the price for buying into nobility was 100k. Grind it till you make it!
@StategyGaming Tomato is one of them. He’s resuming his epic saga of the fishmen squad. I forgot who else I was thinking about and tomato is all that comes to mind
The fact that he experienced a likely-unintended bug where he got himself locked permanently in a cage because of his lack of one arm - and was still able to be farmed to make himself stronger and create an awesome back story to his character goes to show why Kenshi is one of the best story generators in existence.
19:15 It's so funny to only have 3 hours of "escaped slave" left and then go into a major city. I've not spoiled it for myself but I know EXACTLY how this ends lmfao.
Whenever you equip a shackle you’ve picked it locks again, easy xp, so literally all of this was self inflicted and he could’ve gotten out after a small bit of grinding
Kenshi is a great game to play on a weekend every couple months. Just download a bunch of mods and have a new experience every time. I play it like a roguelike.
I'm not saying i was actively skinning the corpses of 3 tourists behind a dumpster in south LA when this new vid dropped, but i am saying if something smells funny, don't check
As a long time Kenshi player it cracked me up when Sam said "I wanna get out of the desert, is there anywhere nice? Anywhere nice any where down here?" no Sam... there's nowhere nice in Kenshi.
Just some info for next time; in Kenshi, you actually get a 50% penalty to your Lockpicking skill whenever you're trying to unlock your own cage or shackles, whereas you use your full skill when trying to free others. That's why it was so much easier to pick other slaves' cages.
after this horrible slave experience,i think you need to create your own group of freedom fighters that fight against slavery. it's the perfect vengeance :)
Waking up with a hangover, door dashing Taco Bell and coming back to my room to see a new kenshi video is up. Sam your timing is impeccable. Dinner and a movie.
Subscribers: "We want more Kenshi!"
Sam: "Say no more. Here's a guy in a cage for ten minutes."
And we loved it
It was honestly very entertaining
That’s the kenshi experience
that sounds like kenshi to me
Na it’s lazy af but ok
The thought of one of Sam's kids growing up and seeing this later and realizing they could have been name hogarth is fucking hilarious
You mean of them finding out why they're named Hogarth.
I think of Iron Giant, less pissed, more proud of Dad.
@SirConto well, if they are their daughter it would be the same. if they were born a male they would be named hogarth, and they would think about that and prob think it was funny, you are the person in friend groups that corrects people for a meaningless reason
Or maybe, one his daughters becomes trans and he forces them to become Hogarth
Sam wasn't locked up. He was just applying the rat strat to Kenshi. He got 24 days of infinite food and protection on the hardest difficulty while doing nothing.
and power leveling lockpick in the process, truly a gamer genius
When Sam has his Prisoner Cage selected, it says Lock State: Unlocked
See 11:00
That was sam? I thought it was a tiny Tate.
Kenshi has difficulty > kek
Kenshi is hard > double kek
The only hard mode is playing as a base hiver (or an animal without humans but that's just suffering mode, also pointless), and setting limb loss chance to max... And even then you can stay out of trouble and get the best stuff real easy.
@mkzhero omg you must be like ninja level gamer right? omg i cant believe this is THE NX3 im star struck.
I like that Sam's idea of a safe haven for escaped slaves was to immediately look south
XD i mean ... hes planning to train in fighting with the Reavers probably
Do the runaway work camp slaves that escape North Korea not immediately run South?
Because if they ran north, they'd just hit another communist hellhole lmao
Hilariously? He's right. South is where the escaped slave safe haven is in-game. Lol
Tarkov finally left his brain, now the Kenshi viewers will ride once MORE!
Huzzah!
Bully peter bro pizza rolled me
Together apes strong
Finally my Breddren we shall feast our eyes on the glories gift from the gods knows As Kenshi !
Heng is like the slaver capital man. Cracked me up when he said he's gonna go in there
Its genius who would look for an escaped slave in the capital of slavery, what slave would stay there?

No matter what you do in Kenshi it's impossible for your charachter to not go through an anime training arc.
This is the best tag-line for Kenshi I've ever heard lol.
Actually true
@Mekose wait, you HEAR text? so what, do you read Vocals then?? i am confused, please help me.
EDIT: the fact that people STILL lose their shit because of this is hilarious! comment is well over 2 months old, and yet you still act like kids lol. i love RUclips comments man, makes my day each time people lose their shit when they don't get the response they want out of me lmfao!
@TheRealHummingBeard
hear
/hɪə/
verb
past tense: heard; past participle: heard
1.
perceive with the ear the sound made by (someone or something).
"behind her she could hear men's voices"
2.
be told or informed of.
"have you heard the news?"
@Skurt44 that moment when you google the answer so you can look smart.
How poetic, not being able to unlock your cage and free yourself, but able to set everyone else free.
It's ironic... he could save others from death, but not himself.
@nuuuuuuuutno, only threw allowing others a chance for salvation he was able to free himself
Eren Jaeger...?
They paid with their teeth.
My wife said she wouldn't love me until you uploaded another kenshi vid. Thank you Sam, bless your heart
Your wife hasn't love you for over a year!?
Sam's viewers don't have wives, imposter
@minerkid7469 I'm sorry, I'll give back my GameStop gift card, just don't tell anyone
That's rough buddy. I won't love you, but I will make love to you if that's what you want
Plot twist, it's sam's alt accnt
Starts out rock bottom on rock bottom difficulty with character with a rock bottom.
and the entire run is also bock bottom
Rock bottom is what my boyfriend calls me when he puts on Motley Crue
@lollercoaster2010 lel
honestly if the slavers just used him as a slave like they probably planned, they'd not have so many issues, but instead they birthed a one armed Lockpicking Lawyer
Lmao thinking HENG of all places is a good place to flee
Sorry it's it's absolutely impossible to not get Schindler's list flashbacks lol... With the highly skilled one arm stamp press operator.. and I guess you got to think to yourself... If the situation were reversed with this guy.. It would be so much worse for everyone in those cages..
Those 17 minutes about a guy stuck in a cage was the most breathtaking comedy I've consumed all year
There is not a cage Hogarth cannot pick lol!
“Never frozen” in an ad for frozen food is just the kind of gaslighting weve come to expect from sam
Sam and Kenshi, a combination that makes me feel some type of way
This dude has feeling hahahaha
Everytime!
Yeah. they're my favorite vids he makes.
good?
Sam and Hunt: Showdown is the only more iconic duo tbh
he probably didn't realize having one hand makes it harder to pick locks
It does? Wtf
@fujtkrisztian Makes sense.
Have you ever seen someone use lockpicks? You usually have to use two hands to manipulate both picks.
@Eye_Of_Odin978mouth, feet… yeah, that’s what I thought. Who even needs hands?
@thederp9309 If you can pick locks with your mouth or feet, then you probably give bomb head and footjobs tbh and I applaud your dedication to your craft
Thats ableist
I'm really enjoying all of the stuff Sam has been doing this year.
Not only Die of Laughter but bringing back mail time, Reddit's worst recipes, the hiking trip, all of it is has been really good.
And also being a Dad, having to deal with 2 little girls AND Abby?
That's gotta be be tough.
Mad love for General Sam, keep it up dude you're killing it.
Dealing with Abby definitely being the toughest challenge
u know me ur gay
Lmfao, just lol
@BoolyK more like dealing with her body, am i right fellas. im serving a life sentence for capital murder
@BoolyK He probably is. I've heard that user also engages in intercourse with the deceased of all species. Pretty gross.
"I should be able to go somewhere in this world and trade some cats for kitty"
Im fucking dead man
Watching this sitting naked in a Latvian prison. excellent video, Sam!
how's the food?
@c0ldesteeny It sucks by a Factor of 75 🤡
Are you guys out of prison yet?
Also, what are you in for?
@mirceazaharia2094 The night I got home from Latvia, a random ICE agent on the street noticed the tattoo I got in prison and now I’m being shipped off to El Salvador forever. Shame!
I loved when Hogarth said, "It's Hogin time." Literally made me cry.
the best part was when he said "im gonna hog!!!" and then he garths everywhere
One of the lines of all time
It's even funnier if you know that in kenshi you get a -10 lockpick debuff when picking the lock to your own cage. It wasn't that he was in a harder cell, the game was just rubbing salt in his eyes
It's a -10 debuff on top of the already huge -5(?) From only having one arm lmao
@Ayatha Dos everytime you think kenshi is beating you down as hard as it can it gets a bigger bat
Kenshi logic "it's easier to Mr Fantastic my arms to my fellow slavemates than wrap them around my own cell
You know the vid is gonna be funny when Sam spends the majority of it stuck in a single room
u know me don’t click that link guys
@djoagast9668 lol they’re bots
*boring
@Ekdrink you watch sam for the gameplay?
@djoagast9668 this vid was just boring
This is like when you sit down at a restaurant, watch people come in, get served, leave, get replaced by more people who get served, all while you're still waiting for your order.
We need more games like Kenshi that have grey "game over" states. Even if your last character dies, you don't see a "game over" screen, you just get to a point where you can't really do anything. It makes for a more emergent experience.
That’s what softlocking is. Normally seen as a bug in games, but I agree it adds a cool dynamic when it’s intentional. Makes you think outside the box, or cage in this instance 😉
@clownworld4655 It's usually seen as a bug because of stupid kids.
@nesano4735 that’s because it’s usually is
@nesano4735 No? its seen as a bug because often softlocking is a bug, like getting stuck in a corner and you cant move, or falling through the map repeatedly
@penguinwolf3330 That's just a bug.
24:32 the timing of that dust cloud on the left was so perfect
Those cages are notorious for being a game ender.
Basically the guard ai will not take you out ever. Sam got lucky with prisoners coming in and out, sometimes that never happens.
Can always equip and unequip shackles for infinite lockpick xp
I'm pretty sure once you pick the lock its always unlocked even if you re equip it
@TV--- nah, also nice donut county
the worst is when you're enslaved as a skeleton because the guards don't carry repair kits
@HyperionCSS oh yea exactly
Most gamers would get locked in a cage with no control and say that they're "soft locked". Sam saw opprotunity. Free food, free shelter, unlimited Skill Share lockpicking lessons. Sam was thriving on the hardest difficulty.
Kenshi is so much better when you play it as it comes, rolling with the punches. I feel like you should only save scum if you get like a TPK
Kenshi is by far the best game for Sam's sense of humor lol I can't really watch anyone else's kenshis videos. These are so good
You should check out wilburgers and ambiguousamphibians vids on kenshi they're hilarious lol
@sethwinters3556 I can't stand amphibian's incessant philosophical interjections/storytelling
@bigbalticbox"Any fool can complain and condemn, and most do." - Benjamin Franklin
@bigbalticbox can’t stand deez nuts
And of course you meant to add in seth tzeentachs gem of a video about kenshi. Obviously
He read the description of the difficulty and it said verbatim the desert was crawling with slavers but he still ran up to the first group he saw
“What’s making you run so slow” idk man maybe it’s because he looks like he’s been abandoned by god
🤣
💀🤣
"And he shall turn his head and say "I never knew ye" lol
8:22 greatest moose knuckle ever
This is the zero to hero story we have been looking for.
you know, the best part of him sitting in the cell waiting is that he could put the prisoner shackles back on himself to pick them again
Gotta say this was one of the extraordinarily rare cases that not even Sam could make a game/situation in a game seem the slightest bit fun in any way lol
Man has played us, made a meh kenshi video to dissuade us from asking for more. Truly evil.
Really glad to see Kenshi back, even if it's being stuck in a cage for weeks.
Especially if it's being stuck in a cage for weeks.
6:32 just now I’m getting the Django unchained reference
The fact Sam never showed the food says a lot.
It's like the allegory of the cage. One lowly prisoner is imprisoned for eternity but he is damned to free other prisoners.
Literally just played the Kenshi playlist, reminiscing on good times. Almost had to do a double take on this one. It feels like cheating being entertained like this for free.
That's monstrous that they just left you in a cage to rot because you only had one arm. As a more progressive slaver, I would have let you out to break rocks in the desert heat all day long with the best of 'em.
When he blows at 24:32 a ghust hits some sand perfectly and it was just oddly satisfying.
I love when Kenshi spikes in popularity
I laughed so hard when Sam asked "Is there a nice place in Kenshi?" lol. no.
If the world ever becomes an apocalyptic wasteland I feel like Sam’s family is gonna become like his Kenshi characters, with Abby as the big brute clan boss of course.
Until someone scares her, then she collapses like a fainting goat
My dad came back with the milk just to tell me that General Sam uploaded a Kenshi video.
then left again for cigarettes*
You can just re shackle yourself btw, you don't have to wait for the guards to do it
28:06 Minutes a Slave
Hogarth is low key a badass name, if you never get have a kid to name hogarth know that I will do it, live vicariously through me sam
*This character better form a rebellion and attack the slave camp that enslaved him, the ultimate comeback story...*
Alright I gotta say it. Sam’s taste in interior design is pretty steezy
Jack: *points blade at armstrong* JUST START A NEW GAME!
Armstromg: can't you see Jack, THIS IS FUN
Whee Hogarth
Bro put the Sister Friede music over his explanation of Rock Bottom. Truly an unforgettable experience!
Love the kenshi content
Kenshi Kontent
me too, so much better than tarkov.
@groovecrusader2715 kool kenshi kontent
24:30 THE DUST CLOUD WHILE HE BREATH OUT LOL
It's a grind but seems to me like Sam just discovered the best way to become a master locksmith while staying out of harms way.
Hogarth the tooth fairy.
Sam, you might be delighted to know theres a mod called "Become a true noble" that lets you buy your way into nobility. You basically get a tiny paper that says "i get to do anything i want", 100 relations with UC, and the ability to walk up to mostly any UC soldier or citizen and demand they join your crew. If i remember correctly, the price for buying into nobility was 100k. Grind it till you make it!
Realistically you shouldn't be able to lockpick with 1 arm lol
I love how my favorite youtubers are suddenly playing Kenshi again. It’s glorious.
Who else is?
@StategyGaming Tomato is one of them. He’s resuming his epic saga of the fishmen squad. I forgot who else I was thinking about and tomato is all that comes to mind
Izonzo mentioned 🦅🦅🦅🦅 4:09
Kenshi is such a good game, cant wait for kenshi 2))
"I only have 13 teeth" is a sad statement out of context. WITH context it's terrifying.
This feels like classic sam, this makes me extremely happy :^)
The fact that he experienced a likely-unintended bug where he got himself locked permanently in a cage because of his lack of one arm - and was still able to be farmed to make himself stronger and create an awesome back story to his character goes to show why Kenshi is one of the best story generators in existence.
More kenshi sam
1 in 5 chance of being detected as a slave
*5 people at the gate*
No jokes, just want to say that I enjoy these vids Sam, keep making this shit king
19:15 It's so funny to only have 3 hours of "escaped slave" left and then go into a major city. I've not spoiled it for myself but I know EXACTLY how this ends lmfao.
Im so glad Sam got back to Kenshi, one of my all time favorites.
I can't stand how he sets the time on the microwave
I have nothing but respect for you that in your 28 minute video 12 minutes of it was just you in the same cage. Good show man!
For the crime of saying hello and being partially disabled, you are hereby sentenced to life in confinement....
I’ve missed Kenshi content so much. Excited to watch it
Whenever you equip a shackle you’ve picked it locks again, easy xp, so literally all of this was self inflicted and he could’ve gotten out after a small bit of grinding
Kenshi is a great game to play on a weekend every couple months. Just download a bunch of mods and have a new experience every time. I play it like a roguelike.
Neeeeeds multiplayer!!😱😱😱
@17:11 Yippee ☺️
Oh my god. I’ve been waiting years for this. Bless you good Sam, bless you.
Nigga really selling TV dinners
I love when Sam blows out our kenshussy
A terrible day for eyes
Just for reference, 100 days is equal to 1 year in kenshi just to put in prespective how long hes been in that cage
I have never seen this channel before but this content was incredible, the dedication to the path was so good. I HOPE I SEE MORE HOGARTH
God didnt want you to name anyone Hogarth so he made them all girls
Whoa my favorite part of the video is when Sam picked John kenshi as his character and said it’s kenshi-ing time.
Return of the Chad Bots? Or the new Play "cats for kitty " :D
I'm not saying i was actively skinning the corpses of 3 tourists behind a dumpster in south LA when this new vid dropped, but i am saying if something smells funny, don't check
Smells like the pork that I bought last week.
@DopaminedotSeek3rcolonthree you would think that wouldn't you, how tender their flesh is, how sweet it smells
What are you thinking of
I actually yelled run at my computer when Hogarth was escaping. I don't think I've been this emotionally invested in any type of character before.
As an enslaved son myself, I really appreciate the representation.
Had 3 hrs left of "looks like a slave" status - still enters city.
If you named a kid "Hogarth" I would call child protective services on you.
As a long time Kenshi player it cracked me up when Sam said "I wanna get out of the desert, is there anywhere nice? Anywhere nice any where down here?" no Sam... there's nowhere nice in Kenshi.
Tfw sam doesn't realize he could've just put the shackles back on after he pick locked them and just relocate them and pick lock them again
I thought that was the entire point of him being excited to get the shackles, but he just didn't do anything with it.
I think the fixed that
@leebard9335 his character had shackles when they first locked him up but he dropped them outside the cage
@nfaisnfgay idk man, kenshis old I haven't seen any updates in a while unless it was a mod fix
@KillerFishFromTampa I 100% could be wrong. I haven’t touched it in awhile
He used cheats in 3min to heal himself a little but I'm not even mad
Just some info for next time; in Kenshi, you actually get a 50% penalty to your Lockpicking skill whenever you're trying to unlock your own cage or shackles, whereas you use your full skill when trying to free others. That's why it was so much easier to pick other slaves' cages.
@Jake True, I'd completely forgotten about that
R.i.p. GeneralSam you'll be missed, hurricanes aren't a joke. 1/3rd of Florida underwater by 2030 experts suggest.
How did you make that voice? 1:42
It's the old Microsoft voice over from the 90s Microsoft Text to SAM I think
1 year late but it’s Microsoft Bonzi Buddy text to speech
Sams like the old man from shawshank whos watched his whole life pass from inside a jail cell and when he gets out he kills himself
Sam recreating roots with a hobbit is so brave
Aye, it's the contrasts which do it for most people.
after this horrible slave experience,i think you need to create your own group of freedom fighters that fight against slavery.
it's the perfect vengeance :)
Waking up with a hangover, door dashing Taco Bell and coming back to my room to see a new kenshi video is up. Sam your timing is impeccable. Dinner and a movie.
Enjoy your movie and diarrhea
13:30 The cage man giveth and the cage man taketh away
