in fact you missed some of them. one in RE 2 while fighting with tyrant on the crane (I don't know what that platform name is, and Ada threw that for Leon). In both RE4's (original and remake) Ada give Leon a Well-Timed RPG. and in RE6 Leon story, At the ending, there was an RPG near the helicopter, also provided by Ada. (God bless Ada) and really how you could summarize whole story and yet do not show the Iconic RE6 Leon and Chris encounter? on top of all those, There is a Well-Timed Pistol at the end of RE7. (the Albert-01)😅
@@mehrabnikoofaraz233 man cook that’s what I’m saying the dudes a fury tho so you expect him getting it right bro. Also he’s really annoying with the editing
He is the most consistent character in design term aside from RE7, i think you just hop on this idea train since Chris design became just stadium mindset that cant be changed 🤥🙄
@@shodim4495 consistency aside, his character design has had some of the most drastic, changes that were not explained by a violent mutation, in the series. I think that's why so many people think he's been redesigned a lot more than he has. Because when he has, it has been huge. Pun intended.
@@huma___n I think they were having trouble deciding on exactly how old and grisly they wanted him to look. You run the risk of making a babyface seem unapproachable when you start to make them look too bitter, but they had to reflect his lifestyle choices and regrets. He had been through a lot of shit by then....a LOT.
In case anyone is curious, miranda found the the megamycete right after her daughter died wayyyyy back then. It was in the caves under the village and is of unknown origin and the mold acts like a neural network and stores memories and data of those who die near it. (Which is how miranda was going to basically download her baby from the megamycete.) When Spencer worked with Miranda he learned about the mold which inspired him to pursue artifical evolution. When he found the flowers that naturally produced the progenitor virus after learning of a tribe of people living unnaturally long, he and Miranda argued about which was better, mold or viruses. They disagreed and Miranda did her mold experiments while Spencer went to develop the virus experiments with help from the Marcus' funding and Birkin's experience. I felt the origin wasn't clearly explained so I wanted to make sure people got how the mold and viruses shared a similar origin story with Miranda vs Spencer. This video was fantastic. Thanks so much for doing this!
It's scary to think that sciencists are doing that rn. They are putting little mushroom brains in computers and they grew eyes so they could see 💀 it would be really cool to see if you could actually do what Miranda is trying since the giant mass of mycelium underground absorbs all dead things. Ik this is a game but yk we are actually getting really close to doing that crazy shit!
Well this hole f*cking megamycete responsible for everything. And i hope they finally destroy it and maybe the Re9 will be last part. Even the guys RPG-ed everyone sooo maybe the Re9 will the last part, sorry but this is my theory and the other is that Mia knew something.
You can't continue to sell/make more Resident Evil games the way they are in a world without humans. Similar to why comic book superheroes/villains are impossible to truly kill - these companies require contrivances to keep their franchises alive.
the arguable difference is that in most zombie outbreak scenarios the 'powers that be' try to hide the outbreaks until they infect the whole world, while in the RE games they actually proactively try to shut them down in the early stages
@@delphy2478 and also the people who start the virus itself try to control it and limit it as it may affect their goals. There's no use for virus terrorist attacks if you can't limit the area of effect to your enemies. Neither can you sell it to someone who aims to actually destroy the world. It makes it a bit more believable to me

Shout out to my main girl Rebecca Chambers, she may have been dropped, but never forgotten. Its a shame Shinji Mikami and the RE team at the time were butting heads over her character, I feel she could have been a great candidate for great character developement if she had been given a little more time in the series apart from 2 games
You said it; there's a lot of characters I wish saw more light. Rebecca out of many of these had EASILY the most potential. Fingers crossed we'll see her again. But I sincerely doubt it.

RE6 is the most constant stream of "okay yeah sure" nonsense you'll probably ever have to meet a video game halfway with and I love it for that. and I love this video for the herculean task of providing a genuinely engaging and hilarious, ridiculously digestible, perfectly thorough timeline of the events of Resident Evil. you hit an immaculate ratio between thoroughness of information from each game in the series without in any way overshadowing a desire to play the games themselves. that is really hard to do!!! but you did it! simply incredible stuff as always Chip.
Man, the fact you're able to condense the lore in such a short time (yeah, "short") is amazing. Definitely a great look back at everything that transpired in over 25 years of RE games.

chip i could fuckin cry dude. i’m awestruck by how you managed to explain this insane lore in 40 minutes (felt like 12 minutes bc i was so damn invested) so well that i felt like i’m new to RE and i’ve never played a single game and i decided to research before playing, this is gorgeous.. phenomenal even!! that 15 day hell was totally worth it, you fuckin killed it. 🖤
YEEAAHH! I'm so glad you think so!! Now we're both experts you and I! Thanks so much for watching it all the way through; I'm glad you liked it so much!
Have you decided which game to start with? The earliest games have the best story... But the difficulty difference and control schemes are a nightmare, keep that in mind, but the earlier remakes also will draw on the most adrenaline fueled nightmares
This video is so insanely well put together and sums up Resident Evil perfectly and the effort here is actually so phenomenal. And it felt like it just breezed by because of how engaging your video style, pacing, and commentary are. You explained things i didnt really understand about the series and made them make aense. I love this so much.
I cant see a better and shorter way to digest all story in less than one hour. I hope more people watch this and find love for RE series. Keep the good work up.
I can never look at the ps1 photo of Albert Wesker dressed as a scientist and working in a professional laboratory, but still wearing the sunglasses and not laugh.

Such a huge mixed bag - and something I'm so sorry you had to feel watching my silly lil video Thank you so much for watching! But - growing up's not so bad! You get to do whatever you want now.
@@ChipmunkuChan Oh, don't be sorry about that lol. It makes my heart hurt, yes, but it also makes me feel human. I'm growing up and I can't do anything about it. I'll only be 17 for so long and before I know it, I'll be an adult, but that's a part of growing up: seeing yourself a d the people around you age. It hurts but makes me proud of how far I've grown. Also your video sure as hell isn't silly. It was enjoyable and a lot of time and effort went into it, I can tell! Seriously. It was a great summary and it made me laugh whenever Wesker came up because you seemed so DONE with him LOL
I can’t tell you how many of these videos are out there. But you did something better than the others. Fantastic video and can’t wait to see more like it.
This video is straight from the heavens. I’ve always wanted to learn more about the lore but was too overwhelmed by the sheer volume of content to start!
As someone who was about the same as you with having little to no knowledge of RE growing up, OTHER than the movie (which fun enough my monkey brain loved), to spenting the last four years consuming all RE media i possibly can. This summary was awesome!! Definitely saving it in my playlist to come back to when i need background noise/something to watch!!
This is far and away the best "Story Up To This Point..." of Resident Evil that ive seen. Ive been a huge fan of the series my entire life and parts still confuse me to this day lol. (Im looking at you Revelations 1&2) but the way you put everything together was perfect! Well done.
This content is incredibly well-made. You always succeed in making it captivating. I've been a fan of the game since the release of Resident Evil 4, but I've never really delved into all the intricate details until now. So, thanks for enlightening me on these aspects.
I'm really sitting here trying to play re4 at 3 am while listening to this video. Some how I have paused the game to actually pay more attention to the video because it's actually hilarious. Keep it up.
I absolutely loved this video, the avatar, the break room, the Ada worship. TY! TY! I’m just getting into this series but the lore is so intense and this video is the shortest and most concise one out here. (Also thank you for the picture of Leon in a crop top that helped ease my brain.🖤)
You got crazy potential, More long videos with this same enthusiasm and editing and I’m sure you’ll get that acknowledgment you deserve man, You just got a new sub. GODSPEED!!!!!
really grateful for vids like this, they make media so much more accessible all sorts of people (in my case: disabled horror lover who cant handle jumpscares due to adrenaline surges HURTING VERY BADLY), not even going into people who may not have a decent computer for emulation, cant afford the games, etc. I always try to thank creators for content like this when i can!
I grew up playing RE, beat the OG trilogy as a young kid but sadly was withdrawn from it as poverty struck and my love for gaming was taken from me for years. 20 something years passed, i've got some cash now and started playing some of the games and kinda started getting into the groove of it again as I loved the series and they imprinted fond memories on me. But with so many games the best thing to do was to watch a summary of it all to understand why we went from zombies to raging spanish cursing villagers to some disgusting undescribable creatures. And, what I find is a total massive CLUSTERFUCK that barely keeps some resemblance to the past I remembered; and, thanks to your video i sort of understand this shitshow now but holy hell it threw me off from the series. God level summary work. Excellent video mate.
"And if you were working on something while listening to this, I hope the project goes well!" BRO NO ONE'S EVER CALLED ME OUT FOR MY ADDICTION TO LISTENING TO LONG FORM RUclips VIDEOS WHILE DOING ARTS AND CRAFTS I FEEL SO SEEN AND ALSO THANK YOU IT IS GOING WELL
The way how the movies (the animated onces) and the animated short series + the irl plays are connecting to the storyline as well... is insanse! RE isn't just a gameseries, it's a whole a- lore.. Love the video
I've been a Resident Evil lore gremlin since I found out Wesker was alive. My little adolescent brain thought this was the greatest twist of all time and that the series was the deepest most complex interesting story ever constructed lol
Great video loved the effort you put into it and it’s absolutely insane you were able to condense all the lore of the series into a 40 minute video most impressive and I absolutely love this video as a longtime RE fan and a person who’s played all the games
I've never felt more supported than this man telling me, things are about to be complicated but its ok, he's done the hard work and there are chapters just in case I need them.
This video was really incredible! You did such an amazing job! I do wish you'd covered Resident Evil Revelations 2 because Moira Burton is my favorite character and I feel like she gets glossed over a lot. But lack of Moira aside, this video was fantastic.
I'm glad you liked it! And you know what - you were so cool about it; I think I'll likely do a follow up video on Resi games and I'll be sure to get both Revelations.
bro im just leaving a comment here to thank you for this video. i just beat RE4, and now im trying to play RE4 remake but i literally cannot get past the first village section without hyperventilating because i have severe anxiety. I don't think i can play any more of the series even though I really want to play them all
I'm so sorry to hear that! I'm glad I could accompany in any way. I hope you get the chance to try some of them someday! They're really good. But if not, I'm still glad you enjoyed your stay.
Started playing DBD recently and saw the RE characters and was curious. My friend told me I should get into it so I found this video. I have never once watched a video longer than 25 minutes in one sitting…until now. This was the most helpful thing ever, and i absolutely love the chapters on it so I can go back for certain parts
It’s funny, because when it comes to the lore of resident evil, I’m one of the semi- veterans, and I understand this video is supposed to be for beginners, but at the same time for it being for beginners, it covers quite a lot lore wise and you explain it very easy and really well❤, one of the plot points being that Miranda has been there since the beginning mentoring Oswell
You're absolutely right! I had no clue!! Hey honestly if you'd like me to credit the work I'd be more than happy to add your portfolio to the description
Despite finishing all of the mainline games (except 6) multiple times and many of the spin-off too, I was still pretty lost on some of the lore as it isn't always very well explained in the games. I've tried to watch lore videos before but they're usually no more clarifying. This was the first one I've seen that does a good job with it, and with good humour too. Nicely done!
Totally called me out at the end lmao. I'm working on an embroidery design for a tote bag that says "lucky me! I'm in the R.P.D." (like a play on "lucky me! I'm a kkg") Your narration is super entertaining, thanks!
sure this is gonna get lost but this was a great video!! you put the info together really well and the organization was perfect! you avoided many of the story beats that would spoil the game but still gave the overall story synopsis in a really digestible way.
As someone who had no clue what was going on, thank you for this video. Once i finish it, i might be able to actually play an RE game and know what's going on xD. Definitely earned a sub!
Fantastic content, this channel is going to BLOW UP! Your presentation was fun, informative and the way the video was put together really draws you in. Just found you on the recommended page and you've absolutely got a new subscriber! Excited to see the future of this channel.
I absolutely love the Resident Evil remakes and decided I wanted to know more about the story, what have I done to myself😭. This is so far the best short summary of this convoluted franchise I’ve seen so far. thanks for suffering for us lol.
i am so so so sads that you didnt cover revelations bc the first one is my favorite resident evil game :( but!! this is a great video! :D big props for making the re storyline sound coherent haha
Firstly, I loved this video and you did an excellent job to compile this behemoth of a series into a less than an hour video. It was incredibly entertaining, too, especially where your humor was concerned 😂 The cutscenes matched perfectly with what you were trying to convey and it brought back so many memories from the older titles (I grew up with the series in the 90s). One of the last things I enjoyed was your small intermissions between the clusters of games in the save room lol That was a nice touch. I think we can both agree that 6 was just out there lol I'll never forget how upset I was getting that game at launch and finding out Wesker's name was just dragged lmao Couldn't finish it either. Finished Chris' scenario and never went back lol Long ramble short, thank you for your hard work in producing this masterpiece. I'm sure the noobs to the series will be grateful for such an entertaining and inciteful video. That being said, it would be cool if you deleved into individual games of the series and/or character studies or analysis. Subbed! All the best to you! 😊😊😊
Hey, thank you so so much! I'm glad you really enjoyed it!! I'm so glad to see someone bring up the intermissions - and am SUPER relieved to know this helped keep a healthy pace! Thanks so much for watching AND subbing!!
@@ChipmunkuChan lol No worries! Yeah, the intermissions felt like, "Ok, we made it through, guys," then you explain what's next, and when we return it's like, "Ok, let's take a quick breather. That was the good news, now brace yourselves," and we're back in the essay lol I could tell you had fun with it and your avatar character is awesome, imo 😎
I now finally understand I have a mate who loves resident evil and I've wanted to get into it so I could talk to them about it but I didn't know where to start, thank you for this video

@@ChipmunkuChan Oh, don't be sorry about that lol. It makes my heart hurt, yes, but it also makes me feel human. I'm growing up and I can't do anything about it. I'll only be 17 for so long and before I know it, I'll be an adult, but that's a part of growing up: seeing yourself a d the people around you age. It hurts but makes me proud of how far I've grown.
Also your video sure as hell isn't silly. It was enjoyable and a lot of time and effort went into it, I can tell! Seriously. It was a great summary and it made me laugh whenever Wesker came up because you seemed so DONE with him LOL
@@megansheldon8196 Hahah! I'm glad it found you in good spirits - and thanks again.
Does it feel weird? I’m not sure you made that clear or not
really wish Rebecca got more game time. IMO shes Leon and Chris level badass. wouldnt surprise me if she could punch boulders too
i honestly would love for this i don't even care what people say she's such a trooper and a staple of the series
She does still apear in 2 recent RE Animated movies (RE Vendetta & Death Island)
RE games are so addictive. Every time I finish one, i'm starving for more.
I can’t tell you how many of these videos are out there. But you did something better than the others. Fantastic video and can’t wait to see more like it.
Ah hey, thank you!! I'm glad I could stand out in some way. Thanks so much for watching!
This video is straight from the heavens. I’ve always wanted to learn more about the lore but was too overwhelmed by the sheer volume of content to start!
Hey! I'm glad I could help even just a bit!! Thanks so much for watchin!
More recognition needs to be given to Joe Baker. Imagine taking on super mutant monsters as an old dude in a fist fight and winning. Dude's a Chad.
I'm a huge fan of resident evil and you did the series justice you earned a new subscriber tonight
That's awesome.
The way you prepared me for when you moved on to th next part of the lore was amazing you set the tone of what im in for next that was unique
Keep up the good work dude. Your channel is blowing up like a Well-Timed RPG lol.
Now that's a classy comment.
Thank you so so much for the support.
The fact that this videos doesn’t have at least 100k views blows my mind
As someone who was about the same as you with having little to no knowledge of RE growing up, OTHER than the movie (which fun enough my monkey brain loved), to spenting the last four years consuming all RE media i possibly can. This summary was awesome!! Definitely saving it in my playlist to come back to when i need background noise/something to watch!!
Ah, I'm glad I could do it justice! Thanks so much for sharing!
this is so funny, thank you! i'm really into resident evil but i know the most about 1998-2004, so i loved watching this and dissecting the rest.
Thanks so much!! Hopefully I did justice to what you've known! and thanks again for watching
This is far and away the best "Story Up To This Point..." of Resident Evil that ive seen. Ive been a huge fan of the series my entire life and parts still confuse me to this day lol. (Im looking at you Revelations 1&2) but the way you put everything together was perfect! Well done.
This content is incredibly well-made. You always succeed in making it captivating. I've been a fan of the game since the release of Resident Evil 4, but I've never really delved into all the intricate details until now. So, thanks for enlightening me on these aspects.
Hey, that means a ton actually! Thanks so much for saying this.
I love it when Albert Wesker says “Its weskering time” and then he Weskers all over the place
I'm really sitting here trying to play re4 at 3 am while listening to this video. Some how I have paused the game to actually pay more attention to the video because it's actually hilarious. Keep it up.
This is one of the best informative videos I've ever watched. The editing and commentary are unmatched. Can't wait to see what you have next.
Wow, thanks! That means a ton! I'm glad you enjoyed and hope you stick around!!
I absolutely loved this video, the avatar, the break room, the Ada worship. TY! TY! I’m just getting into this series but the lore is so intense and this video is the shortest and most concise one out here.
(Also thank you for the picture of Leon in a crop top that helped ease my brain.🖤)
You got crazy potential, More long videos with this same enthusiasm and editing and I’m sure you’ll get that acknowledgment you deserve man, You just got a new sub. GODSPEED!!!!!
really grateful for vids like this, they make media so much more accessible all sorts of people (in my case: disabled horror lover who cant handle jumpscares due to adrenaline surges HURTING VERY BADLY), not even going into people who may not have a decent computer for emulation, cant afford the games, etc. I always try to thank creators for content like this when i can!
This is wonderful to hear! I'm very glad I could offer this experience, honestly! Thanks so much for watching - and thank you for reaching out!
I grew up playing RE, beat the OG trilogy as a young kid but sadly was withdrawn from it as poverty struck and my love for gaming was taken from me for years. 20 something years passed, i've got some cash now and started playing some of the games and kinda started getting into the groove of it again as I loved the series and they imprinted fond memories on me. But with so many games the best thing to do was to watch a summary of it all to understand why we went from zombies to raging spanish cursing villagers to some disgusting undescribable creatures. And, what I find is a total massive CLUSTERFUCK that barely keeps some resemblance to the past I remembered; and, thanks to your video i sort of understand this shitshow now but holy hell it threw me off from the series. God level summary work. Excellent video mate.
"And if you were working on something while listening to this, I hope the project goes well!"
BRO NO ONE'S EVER CALLED ME OUT FOR MY ADDICTION TO LISTENING TO LONG FORM RUclips VIDEOS WHILE DOING ARTS AND CRAFTS I FEEL SO SEEN AND ALSO THANK YOU IT IS GOING WELL
The way how the movies (the animated onces) and the animated short series + the irl plays are connecting to the storyline as well... is insanse! RE isn't just a gameseries, it's a whole a- lore.. Love the video
I've been a Resident Evil lore gremlin since I found out Wesker was alive. My little adolescent brain thought this was the greatest twist of all time and that the series was the deepest most complex interesting story ever constructed lol
Great video loved the effort you put into it and it’s absolutely insane you were able to condense all the lore of the series into a 40 minute video most impressive and I absolutely love this video as a longtime RE fan and a person who’s played all the games
I'm glad I could do the series justice!! Thanks so much for watching- I am elated to hear you enjoyed!!
as someone trying to get into this series for a friend, bless you. bless your bloodline
I was looking at microscopy samples while listening to this. Great video and comprehensive overview of the RE series.
Oh that's awesome! Thanks so much for watching.
Comments like these are easily my favorites.
I've never felt more supported than this man telling me, things are about to be complicated but its ok, he's done the hard work and there are chapters just in case I need them.
Killer video really enjoyed the lore coverage and the jokes. I hope you get a well timed rpg when you need it. 💜
You're far too kind
RE7 was my first RE (that I remember finishing anyway) so I really like Ethan and how his story ends in RE8/Shadows of Rose always gets me😢
This video was really incredible! You did such an amazing job!
I do wish you'd covered Resident Evil Revelations 2 because Moira Burton is my favorite character and I feel like she gets glossed over a lot. But lack of Moira aside, this video was fantastic.
I'm glad you liked it!
And you know what - you were so cool about it; I think I'll likely do a follow up video on Resi games and I'll be sure to get both Revelations.
RE has taught us that everything can be solved with enough firepower.
bro im just leaving a comment here to thank you for this video. i just beat RE4, and now im trying to play RE4 remake but i literally cannot get past the first village section without hyperventilating because i have severe anxiety. I don't think i can play any more of the series even though I really want to play them all
I'm so sorry to hear that! I'm glad I could accompany in any way. I hope you get the chance to try some of them someday! They're really good.
But if not, I'm still glad you enjoyed your stay.
Started playing DBD recently and saw the RE characters and was curious. My friend told me I should get into it so I found this video. I have never once watched a video longer than 25 minutes in one sitting…until now. This was the most helpful thing ever, and i absolutely love the chapters on it so I can go back for certain parts
Oh that's awesome!! I'm very honored! I'm glad to hear the video helped in any way!
Every time someone reminds me of the gun fist fight I love life again
Dude I go to sleep to this, I love the way he explains it and his personality 😂😂 I keep coming back, best explained youtuber in my opinion
This was incredible! Really enjoyed watching/listening just before getting ready for bed
Heck yeah! I'm glad I could keep such company! - Enjoy your night as well yo
I cant tell if youre like... 19, or 34.
You do a really good job. Nice videos. Hope you keep em coming. Thanks
It’s funny, because when it comes to the lore of resident evil, I’m one of the semi- veterans, and I understand this video is supposed to be for beginners, but at the same time for it being for beginners, it covers quite a lot lore wise and you explain it very easy and really well❤, one of the plot points being that Miranda has been there since the beginning mentoring Oswell
The best explanation for beginners I've ever seen, maybe now my friends will get interested in RE series
Lets go! Cannot wait to watch this tomorrow.
Talking in a fanboy-ish voice when mentioning wesker or hunk makes this so much better and relatable. Great Video
I randomly click in this video, and out of nowhere at 5:42 there is the t-virus artwork I made! Hahahahahahahahahhaha
You're absolutely right! I had no clue!! Hey honestly if you'd like me to credit the work I'd be more than happy to add your portfolio to the description
Despite finishing all of the mainline games (except 6) multiple times and many of the spin-off too, I was still pretty lost on some of the lore as it isn't always very well explained in the games. I've tried to watch lore videos before but they're usually no more clarifying. This was the first one I've seen that does a good job with it, and with good humour too. Nicely done!
great video, amazing work putting it all together despite how messy the lore was at times, it was a plenty entertaining video by itself too
Thanks a ton! That means a lot. (:
Totally called me out at the end lmao. I'm working on an embroidery design for a tote bag that says "lucky me! I'm in the R.P.D." (like a play on "lucky me! I'm a kkg") Your narration is super entertaining, thanks!
Thanks for the video and small detail in the end about the project im doing while listening
Always! Thanks for watching!
You, my guy, made me the happiest man on Earth by resuming my favorite game series in 40 minutes.
Adding Silent Hill ost to Resident Evil clips is super satisfying.
sure this is gonna get lost but this was a great video!! you put the info together really well and the organization was perfect! you avoided many of the story beats that would spoil the game but still gave the overall story synopsis in a really digestible way.
Thank you so much!! Glad to know we could do such a behemoth some justice!!
That was probably the best 40 minutes and 52 seconds of my life
As someone who had no clue what was going on, thank you for this video. Once i finish it, i might be able to actually play an RE game and know what's going on xD. Definitely earned a sub!
Fantastic content, this channel is going to BLOW UP! Your presentation was fun, informative and the way the video was put together really draws you in. Just found you on the recommended page and you've absolutely got a new subscriber! Excited to see the future of this channel.
That's fantastic news!! I'm so glad to hear you've enjoyed what you've seen! Glad to have you on-board.
I've watched this 3 times! I love your narration it's so comical!
Thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying it!! 😁
I was surprised of the amount subscribers! The material quality deserves thousands of more
Hey, thanks so much!! Only up from here - I suppose!
I absolutely love the Resident Evil remakes and decided I wanted to know more about the story, what have I done to myself😭. This is so far the best short summary of this convoluted franchise I’ve seen so far. thanks for suffering for us lol.
this is a really good video explaining the gist of the lore! staying for the great quality & personality, keep up the great work man!
Thank you so much!!
Always warms the heart to know people like what I'm doing!
I was working on a project while for English while watching this, and you wishing me good luck on it meant a lot
I love to hear these kinds of comments! Best of luck; I know you'll do great!!
Amazing work, mate!! Unbelievable clarity on the effort put into this masterpiece of a summary. Keep it up!!
Hey I'll try my best! Thanks so much for watching!!
This is very well made! Great job! Especially with the absolute insanity that is RE6
Thanks a ton!! I'm glad you liked it!
Playin animal crossing while listening to this. It’s goin great
I love the intermissions; it gives my brain a break and i cannot thank you enough.
I can't thank you enough for letting me know they're doing well!
It was a risk retention-wise, so knowing they were worth it means the world
i am so so so sads that you didnt cover revelations bc the first one is my favorite resident evil game :( but!! this is a great video! :D big props for making the re storyline sound coherent haha
I am very sorry bento boi...
Perhaps next time I will have the strength to do so. Also, thank you for watching.
2:49 Like the mold on J.K. Rowlings’ walls? This is starting to make sense.
cause she does no WONG! dude that killed me lol this is forsure my most favorite series for resident evil explanations good job my dude
Hahah! I'm glad you enjoyed!! Thanks so much!
I can’t get enough of your love and appreciation for the Venture Brothers
Firstly, I loved this video and you did an excellent job to compile this behemoth of a series into a less than an hour video. It was incredibly entertaining, too, especially where your humor was concerned 😂 The cutscenes matched perfectly with what you were trying to convey and it brought back so many memories from the older titles (I grew up with the series in the 90s). One of the last things I enjoyed was your small intermissions between the clusters of games in the save room lol That was a nice touch. I think we can both agree that 6 was just out there lol I'll never forget how upset I was getting that game at launch and finding out Wesker's name was just dragged lmao Couldn't finish it either. Finished Chris' scenario and never went back lol
Long ramble short, thank you for your hard work in producing this masterpiece. I'm sure the noobs to the series will be grateful for such an entertaining and inciteful video. That being said, it would be cool if you deleved into individual games of the series and/or character studies or analysis. Subbed! All the best to you! 😊😊😊
Hey, thank you so so much! I'm glad you really enjoyed it!!
I'm so glad to see someone bring up the intermissions - and am SUPER relieved to know this helped keep a healthy pace! Thanks so much for watching AND subbing!!
@@ChipmunkuChan lol No worries! Yeah, the intermissions felt like, "Ok, we made it through, guys," then you explain what's next, and when we return it's like, "Ok, let's take a quick breather. That was the good news, now brace yourselves," and we're back in the essay lol I could tell you had fun with it and your avatar character is awesome, imo 😎
@@lisacastro3899 That's really kind of you to say!! Thank you, Lisa.
I now finally understand
I have a mate who loves resident evil and I've wanted to get into it so I could talk to them about it but I didn't know where to start, thank you for this video
