If you've ever been alone in Knox with that music playing it's pretty spooky. There's also a nightmare sequence that Mickey didn't check out that's actually terrifying.

Right! I love Mods like this. Very liminal. Its like seeing a passionate fan being given a artists pallet and told to create whatever the hell they want. Lots of love and humanity put into it. It's a cool thing.
Man why these mods has to be on Elder Scrolls instead being in Fallout, such a missed opportunity to actually utilize it with quests and guns lol, just imagine Deus Ex inspired mod taking place in one of these places from that mod.
@Tacdelio Skyrim looks like hot garbage, too, it was mediocre when it came out and hasn't aged any better lol. The entire game uses 3 tile sets, as well. Crypts, ruined castles, and forsworn dens. It really is a shite game in almost every aspect.
I think it'd be legit fascinating to see a mod that tries to make an actual future skyrim, like a meshing of cyberpunk with the norse style, with evolved or cybernetic versions of current skyrim monsters. Cyborgoblins, withered spriggans, super-advanced dwemer centurions, humanoid mudcrabs, civilised giants, Vivec now has a chain of amusement parks, hagravens running neon-lit psychic businesses, the reachmen are still backwards luddites roughing it in the few remaining areas of nature. There's little fun hints of that with stuff like the house of dibella clothes store and the psijic pyramid thing.
I think that'd scoot the lines between lore friendly and fanfiction, since it changes the metaphysics of the universe (TES has its own. The universe is a dream)
This mod is both quirky and cool, I love how creative the modding community is in Skyrim. It's weird seeing modern items like JD and guns in Skyrim, but strangely satesfying. The modern clothes are cool too. Those little fluffy ball shaped critters remind me of tribbles from Star Trek, and the dragon statue is coloured like Shenron. If I had the newer version of Skyrim, I'd definitely check this place out. Thank you for taking the time to explore this mod, and thank you for the entertaining way you presented it.
That sport hoodie with the 45 on it is the outfit David Leatherhoff wears in the Half-Life 1 mod, Afraid Of Monsters. What a weird deep cut of a reference for a mod like this.
I remember checking out Aether Suite. It felt so lonely/unnerving with how utterly empty it was of NPCs considering it felt like there should be people. It was really cool though, I liked looking through all the apartments and other buildings.
The first time I played Aether Suite I did find a Silent Hill section. I can't wait to actually explore the Fort Knox mod as I have always liked using science fiction like mods in Skyrim. I also feel that gun mods that add flintlock, steampunk, or clockwork based guns to the game should make sense in the lore of the Elder Scrolls considering that full on ancient robots, and airships exist yet flintlock guns don't!

Was this.....was this an actual video or did I was just have one of the craziest fever dreams of my life? Micky D does it again, these mods are fucking next level
You including that clip of "Alright" (around 12:10) helped me find that song. An old Casio instrument I had as a kid based one of their "Songs" off of that, and now I know what it is. Thank you ❤️
Micky I love every single thing you just referenced in this entire video. Every game, from Croc, Jak & Daxter, New Vegas to the more obscure Rugrats Search for Reptar (I mean I don't LOVE that game but... it's part of my childhood), and even stuff like the random Jamiroquai, Tupac, among other song references. Great stuff.
Adidas was founded by and named after Adi Dassler, and you pronounced the brand just like his name, so you really pronounced it more correctly than most people do if you think about it.
I believe that the original was going to involve solving mysteries around the city. An example would be the burnt out school that was supposedly haunted, I never finished exploring it as I chickened out. The next one was people disappearing after sleeping at a hotel. There's even a warning not to fall asleep. If you do you get teleported to a nightmare maze where you have to run from a invisible and unkillable troll until you reach the end making you wake up.
Micky D, please do a play through of ‘Harry Potter and the Order of the Phenix’ and also the ‘Half Blood Prince!’ I love your HP play throughs. Funny af!
the fact that this just happened to come out at like the same day(ish) that Josh Strife Hayes released a review for croc legend of the gobbo is hilarous
IIRC this sort of high-tech stuff is KINDA part of TES, but more the far past/future, and a lot of it is like, weird c0da-style weirdness, but it's sort of there. There's one story where Vivec and everybody like, beat up a bunch of TV-headed people, don't recall if that's c0da or c0da-adjacent.
Had to pause the video for a bit and go listen to The Cars for a while. It's nice when a younger generation reminds you to check out some classics. Thanks Micky, for a second there I didn't feel 48 yrs old anymore.
It'd be awesome! Like all the races, and various beliefs, but modernized. There'd need to be another 3 to 5 classic TES games first though before fans will accept it
Funny story. I was really high while watching this video, when you brought up the Orson Bright Idea album, I checked it out and I straight up listened to the whole album while I was high. Thanks for introducing me to the album and I really enjoyed the video. Keep up the good work 👍

1:50 it's insane what songs can do to the brain... I was CERTAIN I had heard this before, so had a google of a vague memory and WOW it was indeed that Monsters Inc PS1 game. I haven't played that game in 20 YEARS and could still remember it! Great music choice 👏👏
