As a recovering Catholic (15 years, 9 months and 5 days without eating god), I was wonderfully delighted with your particular definition of "sin". Made me want to print it and put it on a poster on the front wall of my office! Thank you!!
I agree, I need this merch. Also, eating god is the best part though! I don't know how you manage. I don't attend church, but I still eat god regularly. And the blood is a pretty solid chaser. Don't let the men in dresses stop you from enjoying the living corpse of the divine.
@@renegadecut9875no dude you always had a great voice for your videos. The matter of fact dry ass sarcasm and the matter of fact dry ass fact delivery is perfect. I am certain your voice helped your videos get popular.
Hi 1080P Leon, nice to meet you! I appreciate the take about different graphical styles being just that: an artstyle over retro graphics. I never thought of modern games like that, but it makes sense
I really appreciate the audio mixing on your videos. A professor might instruct you to make VO nearly as loud as media, but they would be wrong. The ducking out of a full stereo signal into quieter VO draws the audience’s attention down to your words, and contributes to the tone.
Leon I'm loving your new Era & I love the new premise of your art. Also your voice means a lot to me as a listener. Glad you are working mindfully on your practice. You go hard, keep going until you don't want to go any longer. Respect.
Loving the new/old direction of your channel. Keep going! Also, people complaining about your voice is just bonkers to me. Your cadence and line delivery are probably the main appeal for me, other than the writing of course. Your channel is one of the first I started following, and probably what got me into video essays in the first place.
I wouldn't want any other conductor to do the loudspeaker announcements while riding your train of thought. Can't wait to see to where it detours next time.
To say this is the best video you've ever made is a disservice to all the amazing videos you have done. To say this is my favorite video you've ever made is a disservice to just how hard I love this.
As someone who became a fan of your videos when most of your content was film analysis, I can confidently say 1080p Leon's video is one of the funniest I've seen. Keep Going until you are 4k Leon and beyond.
You tell us your tired and are going back to reviewing video games and movies, which I look forward to, and then you give us the Sister Principle story. This. This is why i recommend Renegade cut to anyone who will listen.
I love this swerve into more fun topics like video games. You give a very "Tim Rogers with the swear filter turned off" vibe, that is a compliment I promise
i am 100% here for this new chapter of your life and your work, leon. had to pause this video at least five times because i was laughing so hard. i genuinely hope you continue to enjoy what you're doing and find success with it. :)
I'm a chronic 2x speed viewer of RUclips videos but decided to let this one play at 1x, and I found myself developing a new found appreciation for your narration. So I really laughed when I got to the part about other people complaining about it! Great video. Funny and thought provoking. Always enjoy your dives into your Catholic upbringing, as well.
Love how these video game videos are so deep, yet entertaining; sseeingly fumbling around from topic to topic and chuckfull of anecdotal tidbits, but in fact laser focused on the subject at hand.
You spin quite the yarn for those of us watching this in an old hotel room - and listening too, by the by. Especially with the wailing killdeer right outside the window, out in the darkness. The experience of it all is very atmospheric, care of your deliberately-worded script suited just so for that distinctive voice - in this case, almost eerily calm, like we've been placed inside the game as you slipped out, and you drive the tone (and us) through a hell of a ride. (If you'll pardon the pun, or is it?) It feels like controlled chaos, as your voice soothes as we descend deeper into the fray, with reassurance from your asides only because our guide sounds calm. Bored? Not in the least! Altogether, you've set quite the tone masterfully, and I wouldn't have it any other way - nor with any other voice to guide us, thank _you_ very much! ...I say that with sincerity, which is hard to convey without my voice, but even with it. I'd say "that's our world," but it's not anymore. Not blindly futuristic, not retro, not whatever things used to be. Controlled chaos, as I call it, but I like _1080p_ so I'll have to check out those tracks and drive on. Cheers. (I don't know; blame the killdeer. Or maybe one of us has the Shining.)
such an amazing game, and i'm loving your intensely genuine enthusiasm for your new turn in videos- you've done lots of great work in sharing info about important politics, but it's important to make joyful art as well! thank you for all your hard work
Frankly I love your voice and it’s part of why I stuck with your channel so long. That said, I also love your take on politics and pop culture and your new workflow/output so please keep up whatever you’re doing and hopefully you don’t get too many complaints.
Leon, you can't just drop a joke as funny as "I guess winners DO use drugs" on me while I am drinking! I shouldn't be surprised that there are people who don't enjoy your voice, but I am. I've always enjoyed your narration and it is really fun to hear you talking about topics you enjoy and making jokes. Sorry it took me a while to get around to this video. Take care!
Okay, this is your funniest video ever! Even my old man is chuckling and laughing beside me as we listen to this! I've watched your vids for a few years mainly to stay in the know on some things and the dry wit, but this one is the best!
I actually dig your calm cool non performative tone. It helps convey your words as well thought out. Your message always has structure and never comes off as an emotional reaction. Whoever would tell you to hire someone else to speak for you are, themselves, without direction.
Your voice is great Leon...I'm sorry to hear about your breathing issues, but it has never detracted from my enjoyment of your videos. You're right to do your own voice over...nobody could do it like you do.
The visuals you gave of Whitney Houston being catapulted into the atmosphere really put the feeling into words so brilliantly! Didn't consciously realize how much that drum emotionally affected the song until you pointed it out.
I'm actually from Texas, and have a friend who lives in El Paso today, so I was thinking this game might be interesting in terms of connecting with my culture. This is the first time I've seen actual gameplay and... I may have been wrong. Probably gonna pick it up anyway, though.
Damn dude that first 3 minutes and 17 seconds was an incredible intro. These game videos have been really great, its awesome seeing you make the art you want to make. As a long time fan, I've always enjoyed your voice and I find it particularly endearing when you open up about your personal life, much like you did in this video. By the way, you have a great sense of humor. Keep on keeping on, Leon! 👍
FYI, I like the sound of your voice. Sometimes when I'm over stimulated or having trouble controlling my anxiety (yay autism), I'll get out your Matrix Resurrections video because I love the content and your voice is so damn soothing. I'm glad you're not changing your videos or your voice for others. Kick butt, do what you want, the people telling you what not to do or be are irrelevant. :)
I had to pause cuz I was laughing too hard, then had to go back and watch it again!! 😆 "..or wm kinda messed up,but that's not as intriguing!" ☠️🤣🤘🏻 The delivery was on point too LOLOL
Thanks for the awesome video! I probably would have never heard of this title without it and it looks like an absolute blast. I do have to say, whomever made the comments about your voice and narrative style certainly have opinions quite different than mine. I love your narration, it manages to be soothing and calming, but also not put me into a coma. That means I can listen to you for ages while still being attentive without starting to zone out which is an extremely rare gift, in my experience. I can't wait to see what you put out next. I hope it brings you as much joy and makes you think while making it as it does for me when watching it.
I gotta say, as much as I loved the politics-focused video essays of before, I'm loving the new direction of your channel, perhaps even more. It's like a marriage of so many different types of videos I like to watch, built into one.
As a recovering Catholic (15 years, 9 months and 5 days without eating god), I was wonderfully delighted with your particular definition of "sin".
Made me want to print it and put it on a poster on the front wall of my office!
Thank you!!
I agree, I need this merch.
Also, eating god is the best part though! I don't know how you manage. I don't attend church, but I still eat god regularly. And the blood is a pretty solid chaser. Don't let the men in dresses stop you from enjoying the living corpse of the divine.
That "eating God" part was pretty fuckin' metal, I have to say. Genuinely brilliant.
I would like to offer Terry Pratchett's definition of sin as another nice one.
Sin is when you treat people like objects
“I was raised Catholic but like all Catholics, I’m not Catholic anymore” new response for nosey people’s questions unlocked, thanks chief
You're welcome.
It's funny because it's true. Except for Catholic convert "TradCaths," but they're not real Catholics.
Yes, I will be using this phrase from now on. Thank you.
Haha are you a person who has actually read the bible?
@@evanthomass it's pretty much required for catholics. There are tests.
"on the other hand, which is my left hand" thank you for this
I am as corny as the cob.
I'm loving your popular media review era. Glad you're living your best life with it.
Thank you. People think I have lost my mind, but they are wrong. I have found it.
I LIKE your voice, for what it's worth. I like people who sound calm.
I'm at peace, finally.
@@renegadecut9875no dude you always had a great voice for your videos. The matter of fact dry ass sarcasm and the matter of fact dry ass fact delivery is perfect. I am certain your voice helped your videos get popular.

This is such a joyful video. It's so much fun. Thank you for this.
Your dry humor tickles my giblets
Exactly what I was going for.
I love that you're broadening your horizons. I hope you are happy, brother.
I am, thank you.
@@renegadecut9875 that's all we, your audience, can ask for.
I really appreciate the audio mixing on your videos. A professor might instruct you to make VO nearly as loud as media, but they would be wrong. The ducking out of a full stereo signal into quieter VO draws the audience’s attention down to your words, and contributes to the tone.
You sound so much more h̶a̶p̶p̶y̶ relaxed than you have in a long time, man. I'm loving the new content, and good job taking care of yourself.

Normally leftists start with videogames and move to politics, not the other way around, but I'll take it!
Renegade Cut HAD started with movies before moving into politics, and then now into video games - but yeah I’m with you. Loving the new era 😎
@@HoneycuttVideos Started with video games before my show was Renegade Cut. That was 2010. Renegade Cut started in 2012.
@@renegadecut9875 I remember the blistered thumbs days. Loved the podcast, thanks for all the great vids.
@@renegadecut9875 Ah, I stand corrected then. Cheers!
Love the new direction of your videos!
As a long time fan of the channel, I am blown away by this video. Easily my favorite you've made. I'm loving the new style
I wouldn't want any other conductor to do the loudspeaker announcements while riding your train of thought. Can't wait to see to where it detours next time.
I always admired your more serious work, and I love that you're having fun with videos again.
To say this is the best video you've ever made is a disservice to all the amazing videos you have done. To say this is my favorite video you've ever made is a disservice to just how hard I love this.
Your humor is great and comes at you sideways, forcing a laugh I didn't even know was there.
I'm not even ten minutes into this, and I'm already laughing myself silly. Thank you. Really.
You're certainly welcome.
As someone who became a fan of your videos when most of your content was film analysis, I can confidently say 1080p Leon's video is one of the funniest I've seen. Keep Going until you are 4k Leon and beyond.
Thank you for reflecting on yourself and talking about your life when you comment on content, it gives it so much life and depth
You tell us your tired and are going back to reviewing video games and movies, which I look forward to, and then you give us the Sister Principle story.
This.
This is why i recommend Renegade cut to anyone who will listen.
I love this swerve into more fun topics like video games. You give a very "Tim Rogers with the swear filter turned off" vibe, that is a compliment I promise
I was thinking the same thing haha
I really really like this new writing style youve made for yourself, this less filtered style
Really like this, the humour, the writing, the topic…. It’s fresh yet familiar. Good stuff.
i am 100% here for this new chapter of your life and your work, leon. had to pause this video at least five times because i was laughing so hard. i genuinely hope you continue to enjoy what you're doing and find success with it. :)
Wait, what? The sound of your voice is half of what keeps me coming back!
Thanks!
FWIW, I actually find your voice quite soothing and engaging.
Thanks man.
Why would I *EVER* want to replace your audio, Leon? Your soft yet firm candor & laid-back tone are so....IDK, comforting
I'm a chronic 2x speed viewer of RUclips videos but decided to let this one play at 1x, and I found myself developing a new found appreciation for your narration. So I really laughed when I got to the part about other people complaining about it!
Great video. Funny and thought provoking. Always enjoy your dives into your Catholic upbringing, as well.
The seamless interleaving of personal anecdote, media interpretation, and manifesto is absolutely killer. You keep going.
“Lore so deep, we can only get it in Chicago, and only eaten… by tourists.” Absolutely iconic.
I can feel the passion returning to your body with the last couple videos, and I'm glad for you.
You keep going. :)
I love your voice, Leon. It's part of the reason I subscribed.
Love how these video game videos are so deep, yet entertaining; sseeingly fumbling around from topic to topic and chuckfull of anecdotal tidbits, but in fact laser focused on the subject at hand.
I could listen to you talk about anything. thanks for sharing your thoughts 🙇
Really, really enjoying this new direction of your channel! Just glad to be hearing you talk about things again.
This is the type of gaming content I'm looking for! Guess I'm buying two new games!

(I don't know; blame the killdeer. Or maybe one of us has the Shining.)
I love your metaphor for the power of the drum amplifying Whitney Houston, and I love that the Old ElPaso jar rotates imperceptibly slowly.
loving 1080p leon! and yes creating your own lexicon for games (or life generally) is the best
such an amazing game, and i'm loving your intensely genuine enthusiasm for your new turn in videos- you've done lots of great work in sharing info about important politics, but it's important to make joyful art as well! thank you for all your hard work
Deviated Septum sounds like a great name for a Baltimore based punk band.
For my money, your videos lately have been total bangers.
Your videos are so gripping, I can never pause them
Also your narration is S+ tier
"Although this has all the characteristics of a review it's not a review, because I said so " classic 1080p Leon
Frankly I love your voice and it’s part of why I stuck with your channel so long. That said, I also love your take on politics and pop culture and your new workflow/output so please keep up whatever you’re doing and hopefully you don’t get too many complaints.
Love the new direction for your channel, Leon. Keep making what makes you happy!
Leon, you can't just drop a joke as funny as "I guess winners DO use drugs" on me while I am drinking! I shouldn't be surprised that there are people who don't enjoy your voice, but I am. I've always enjoyed your narration and it is really fun to hear you talking about topics you enjoy and making jokes. Sorry it took me a while to get around to this video. Take care!
Been a fan since Heart of Gaming and this video is giving me those vibes, I love it
Okay, this is your funniest video ever! Even my old man is chuckling and laughing beside me as we listen to this! I've watched your vids for a few years mainly to stay in the know on some things and the dry wit, but this one is the best!
Cutting to gameplay of Puppet Combo's Nun Massacre is such a genius move
Your narration is giving me real Welcome To Nightvale vibes. For which I thank you.
I remember that show. Is it still a thing?
@@renegadecut9875 Yeah. I'm not current on it but I believe it is still ongoing.
I actually dig your calm cool non performative tone. It helps convey your words as well thought out. Your message always has structure and never comes off as an emotional reaction. Whoever would tell you to hire someone else to speak for you are, themselves, without direction.
FWIW I love your voice and even sometimes find it soothing enough to lull myself to sleep with.
11:08 Thank you. I thought all along I was weird for doing that.
I always thought you were just speaking softly. Frankly I find your tone soothing, it makes it easy to keep listening.
You sound so relaxed now. I'm glad you're making the content that you want to make.
Love how you write. "Like all Catholics, I am not Catholic anymore." That Whitney Houston comparison was great
"Go nuts! Go banana bread!"
What if I go turtle cheesecake instead?
This video went so damn hard. Kudos. 👍🏽
Also thanks for introducing me to El Paso Nightmare. Instantly wishlisted.
Your voice is great Leon...I'm sorry to hear about your breathing issues, but it has never detracted from my enjoyment of your videos. You're right to do your own voice over...nobody could do it like you do.
We
I love your dry wit where you go into sarcastic tangents like Old El Paso sauce
I’m here for the new direction and feel inspired to do the same. Right on 👍
I'm here for the next 'whatever I want' Era of Renegade Cut. Fuck yeah Leon
This went hard. Thank you Renegade Cut!
You're welcome.
You sound great and this game looks great. I hope you keep going :)
The visuals you gave of Whitney Houston being catapulted into the atmosphere really put the feeling into words so brilliantly! Didn't consciously realize how much that drum emotionally affected the song until you pointed it out.
This train of thought style video was refreshing. Keep going you.
I hadn't heard of this game, so I am glad you introduced us to it.
It is so cool that you decided to do a review of this game that I love! Thanks, Leon. This was an awesome video.
Also "Stay Awake" deserves some love too.
That closer! YES! Chase your bliss, it's working. I'll aspire to do likewise.
I'm actually from Texas, and have a friend who lives in El Paso today, so I was thinking this game might be interesting in terms of connecting with my culture. This is the first time I've seen actual gameplay and... I may have been wrong. Probably gonna pick it up anyway, though.
Great video! Thanks for this. Don't know what else to say. Have a good day
This is the RUclips content I love to see!
real good jokes in this one Leon, I appreciated em. :)
Your humour is so on point in this video. I love all your work, do whatever the fk you want and need to do. I'm here for it :)

What a banger line to end on.
"That's where all the vitamins are." 😂
That got me so gd good! 😂 10/10👌
I’ve been watching your videos for about 6 years now and I love the evolution! Keep it up!

You said that you’re proud of your work in a post. I am real happy to hear that.
I am enjoying the videogame era of Renegade Cut, the salsa bit killed me
I had to pause cuz I was laughing too hard, then had to go back and watch it again!! 😆 "..or wm kinda messed up,but that's not as intriguing!" ☠️🤣🤘🏻 The delivery was on point too LOLOL
I just like salsa. Mild, spicy, chunky, queso. I love stuff in other stuff.
Top notch whatever this is, man. I don't think this is my kind of game, but you're right about the soundtrack. Banger music
Thanks for the awesome video! I probably would have never heard of this title without it and it looks like an absolute blast.

Very intrigued with the new direction, 1080p Leon. I'll stay tuned, good video.
This is one of my favorite vids from you!
I love the way you explain that you're not going to risk power loss, therefore, this part of the video is about the first game
This is peak Renegade Cut! I get the sense you had almost as good of a time making this vid as I did watching it!
10:46 "like all catholics, I'm not catholic anymore"
man, i feel that
I have felt that for some time now.
The Whitney Houston drum is my favorite metaphor of 2024
I love these videos of yours.
Your delivery style and voice is unique and awesome. The people who don't like it can leave.
Love the "change" in direction, it's appreciated and healthy. I like your tastes and excellent editing. You keep going!
The attitude you have in this video is great!
I gotta say, as much as I loved the politics-focused video essays of before, I'm loving the new direction of your channel, perhaps even more. It's like a marriage of so many different types of videos I like to watch, built into one.
