UPDATE: June 23rd, 2022 - Don't get the Enhanced Edition yet, it's very messy.
Welcome back
so you know my best friends dad did some of the art for this game if you want any pics or want to know anything about the development i'm sure he'd love to chat with you about it
Yeah I signed up for GoG and bought it. I love games that change every time you play it.
I want you, Civvie and Sseth to be Obscure Game Pals. Shammy can come along too.
If you like this, The Longest Journey is a similarly surprisingly-high-production-value-for-its-time point-click adventure from around the same time.
"Could you imagine that LA was a real city? And that people wanted to live there? *Laugh*"
That laugh was so good
Whenever Mandy breaks character, I always lose my fucking shit laughing.
Traffic sucks
i feel like people that make jokes about people not wanting to live in LA have never even been to CA before. yeah commuting around here is awful. but as someone wjo grew up in new england, that area sucks ass compared to LA.
The city La would truly be The Darkest Timeline
The name alone makes me cringe
San Francisco says hello.
Tfw Civvie and Sseth are just personalities in Mandalore's head.
Thank you for introducing me to Civvie!
And the Spiffing Brit his British cousin.
So now it's even higher than Diavolo. Are we in Split now?!
Oh, poetry, huh?
@@Nagittchi Poetry?! Is he Georges Lucas too?
"Can you imagine if Los Angeles was a real city, and that people would wanna live there? *AHAHAHAHA*"
Yeah that sounds like a dystopian hellscape
But Danger Guy, I thought you loved being in LA. Didn't you say you were gonna go back and make a part 2 vlog about how great it is?
ITS THE DANGER BOY
Dood stop commenting on ur other channels XD
LA is the worst tho fr
democrat run city, yes
The fact that you CAN go big boss, deep cover is.... Frankly amazing. I can't think of many games that would let you do that.
"My God, I miss Westwood like you wouldn't believe.'
Never forget. Never forgive.
Amen. RA2 was one of my first video games, loved it so much
We just need to hug it out
@@RaidsEpicly
Tiberian Dawn, RA1, Dune 2000, Tiberian Sun. Westwood pretty much defined my childood PC gaming experience along with titles like Anno 1602, Mechwarrior, and Age of Empires.
Westwood just had that 'it' that is difficult to actually pin down and define. The simplest way to put it, is to just say that they 'got it' and leave it at that.
You could say that there is a reason I did buy only one game from EA after zero Hour came out (make it two if you count all CnC gamepack).
(Sad fact it's not really that hard to avoid EA games)
@@RaidsEpicly Man, I own RA2 and Yuri like three times and none of my physical nor digital copies work on win10 anymore. RIP possibly the best RTS of all time.
His genuine laugh about halfway through just killed me
It's immensely cathartic to hear Mandalore laugh sincerely.
To be fair, the concept of actually living in SoCal is genuinely hilarious and makes anyone sane break into fits of laughter.
@@teeffw2776 From SoCal. We laugh to hide our pain. Please send more water.
That laugh first appeared in the Stronghold review, the game with a tiger filled map that broke Mandalore's mind. He hasnt been the same since.
@@booradley6832 *Lion infested
"Westwood also made some great Dune games and you can't buy them anymore... Oh"
It hurts Mandalore, it hurts a lot
Some game studios hurt to know are gone, and Westwood is one of those that just lingers like a Phantom Pain.
Would kill so to get an enhanced edition of Dune II, and I mean a proper one, not another somewhat extra remake like Dune 2000.
At least their C&C games (barring the Remastered Collection) are still available, albeit on the EA site and not Steam/GOG.
@@michaelandreipalon359 Search for Dune Legacy
The best part about Ray McCoy being happy due to having a real dog is a great subtle reference to the original “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” Story. In it, society has a core way of belief and social interactions through an Empathy sort of simulation. The way that they continue this empathy is by caring for faux animals, in the story, Deckard has an electric sheep, but dreams of getting a real one, real animals are nearly extinct and hard to come by, so getting one is incredibly rare and means that having one means that you’re one of the most empathetic of all because you’re taking time to care for a real living thing.
There's also a line in the movie, "Is that snake real?" "Please, you think I could afford a real snake?"
Okay but for real, what happens to the dog in the endings?
@@dc8836 guess we'll never find out
I still remember that scene where they thought that the dead cat was fake but actually it was real. It's kind of highlights the irony of the empathy belief.
Don't ask what happens to the sheep either =(
The book was just...weird. I think it's a rare case of the movie being better than the book. The movie's replicants were SO much better written. In the novel they came across as just robots programmed to try and mimic human behavior. You felt nothing when Deckard retired them.
Then there was the whole out of nowhere, never mentioned again fake police station...
Westwood was replaced with a replicant called EA.
Maybe he can review Nox next.
If you ask me, someone should "retire" EA.
*devoured
On point!
Keep in mind Westwood was also at the brink of bankruptcy, just like BioWare or Looking Glass Studios. It was either EA or bust.
When mandalore started changing his voice at the end, I was half expecting sseth's voice to take over just to perpetuate the meme
. . . . it didn't?
What meme?
Sounded a bit like civvie. He might have *three* personalities going for him.
UberDanger is now in on the meme too. He opened his latest video with "Hey hey people. Sseth here"
@@deathwings51 nah fuck that predator
This was the most requested game on GOG for years, glad they got it finally. GOG is truly a boon for retro gamers.
17:20 - JEEEESUS. Any game that allows you to do THAT is a great game in my book.
There’s even a special ending for that scenario as well.
@@MandaloreGaming Ok, well I'm SOLD. Too bad it's not on Steam.
@@user-xo9ig8kc3u It's a good thing gog exists.
@@user-xo9ig8kc3u I come from the future, and soon we will have this game on Steam thanks to our good buddies at Nightdive Studios.
Yes the same Nightdive making the System Shock remake.
@@EnclaveRemnantFanboy-118 the remake of blade runner is complete trash
12:18 damn Mandalore I wasn't ready.
This is the first time we hear his majestic laugh
@@rabbischlomobengoldbergstein Yeah I remember a similar breakout moment in a different video, but not to this extent. That really caught me off guard
@@rabbischlomobengoldbergstein Actually, he streams on Twitch now and then, look into his vods and you'll hear him and shammy get fucking trashed and giggly.
LeviLung I remember him having a great laugh moment in the Stronghold video. "What if the player was covered in lions?! 😂"
@@NoriMori1992 Wow yeah that was it! Thanks my man, gonna rewatch that video now.
“Influencer infested LA”
*RAID Shadow Legends appears.
Funny comment, but before I laugh I need tell you about today’s sponsor, RAID: Shadow Legends
Beautiful.

Good Ole Raidy Shady.
5:38 For the Command and Conquer Remaster he did the same for the tracks he couldn't find the originals for, Frank's a madman who deserves FAR more recognition for how talented he is as a composer.
Indeed, he’s beyond us all
He is the arcane video game music god
I know Louis Castle personally, one of his sons and I went to high school together. That being said, he was very much involved in a lot of the technical parts of what made his games run, so his description is just a point of conjecture for terms on engine rendering techniques that were not in existence yet and were rarely used even during the period of their design. Westwood truly developed a lot of what it did as the first on the market with it. And those terms for these transitive rendering techniques like Voxel lite and plus are defined very loosely by the people who made the game, not something codified anywhere.
Yeah and to to add to this at the time all press called it as voxel and so the description stuck amongst the players
Cool
Mandalore confirmed in league with Civvie.
i was just about to say didn't Civvie just make a Blade Runner vid lol
Seth civvie and mandalore confirmed conspiracy
Mandalore and Sseth confirmed to be stuck in the dungeon with Civvie
Civvie is his baby boomer face on this tripolar personality
Wow incredible
"This man made Hell's March, he's beyond us." I laughed but he's right.
Old post, but truth is truth and I must acknowledge it. Hell's March is stuck in my head and will never leave.
@@Maniacman2030 Same here, it'll never leave me.
I have nothing but good memories from this game:
1) Killing a bum in an alley and accepting that fact with a lifetime diet of bourbon
2) The Voigt Kampf interrogations and the hilarious ensuing answers
3) Changing ammo type to put down a clank
4) The shooting range contest and smoking civilians
5) The gun store vet owner conversation after you're framed
6) Queen to bishop
12:24 truly the laugh of a madman, Sseth tried to take over momentarily
A warm thanks to the many members of the Merchant's Guild
*Praise the emperor*
its the first time I hear him actually laugh and show emotion i was shocked
"Famous underground youtuber (whatever that could mean) found dead at home, half eaten, surrounded by a cult of coyotes. Police still look into a potential suicide."
billedefoudre Spoony Mooooo
15:50
That scene is straight from the book, literally word by word.
There's a lot more stuff they adapted from the book to flesh things out. Though when it comes to adapting a Phillip K. Dick book it's more like gardening for paragraphs since the man was on all the drugs.
@@MandaloreGaming there are references to his other books as well, I believe. It has been years since I last played this.
@@MandaloreGaming
It's nice to hear. The movies missed a huge chunk of the book that was about empathy and how machines are not capable of it.
Second movie with Ryan Gosling touched on it somewhat, but still not to the degree of the book. Hope the game captured that spirit.
@@user-dj8yz7vq8o In the first movie the main theme is how machines are capable of acting in the most emphatic way trough the use of logic and humanity instead just... Can't act or have empathy for what isn't on ther goals or are close people for they.
@@user-dj8yz7vq8o I find the movie's relation to the book really interesting. It's all about the mood, and pretty barebones in terms of plot or worldbuilding, but I think it capitalizes really well on the medium's strengths, while the book gives a lot more information on how the world works and why things are the way they are.
"Nightmare future of 2019" THEY KNEW!
Little did you know
@@dackdack8047 little will you know
OH BOI NONE OF YOU KNEW!
If only YOU knew
Knew what?
14:52
Thank you, this will never not bug me: Basically nobody on the production except Ridley Scott wanted Deckard to be a literal Replicant. Deckard's humanity was meant to be something intriguing in the film, and a plain ol' mindscrew in the novel (in true Philip K. Dick fashion, and it's done similarly in this game)
Harrison Ford was always a moment away from fighting him. This was one of the things that set him off most.
It took major rewrites by other writers and editors to fix Scotts script too. Early screenplays were garbage and Dick despised them. By the time they got near released they gave him an updated screenplay and early release before he died. He was mostly happy with the updates.
Also
"I thought how could they do this, it's like they read my mind, this is exactly how I pictured it" when shown shots of future LA
The more trivia I learn about Ridley Scott the more I'm convinced he's a hack who needs a group of people constantly there to filter his shitty ideas. This plus the Alien sex scene thing has utterly convinced me.
@@loxi9 Ridley Scott is a great cinematographer, a great visual artist. I'd even say one of the best ever. Any other fields he's dabbled in, I always found him a bit obnoxious to say the least.
@@loxi9 Ridley Scott is basically like Hideo Kojima, in that regard.
Wait... Sseth just posted "soon" on twitter...
ho god, you guys REALLY are memeing us around!
He/They embraced the Jekyll and Hyde persona
@Chris Hansen Funny that you are saying that, given your name and picture
@Chris Hansen don't you have to arrest onision or something?
@@inqntrol2047 yeah, they're absolutely on the joke, and i think it's awesome
i mean, there already was this time when Mandalore sayed his back-problems healed on twitter
and Sseth posted the "i'm glad we're okay" meme, but now that's another-level
One empire, one people, one leader!
5:20 guys, this track is called Blade Runner Blues, in the official soundtrack.
Trust me on this, put this track on loop on your phone, put some earbuds in, and walk out at night in your city. It's flippin magical.
Baleur I do this all the time especially when it’s raining and I’m driving
@@MrPotatoes97 have your own knife, duh
@@MrPotatoes97 Means you live in a shithole lmao
The entirety of the soundtrack is just so amazing, I can never get enough of it. Though probably Tears In Rain would be my favorite track
This is all fine and dandy Mandalore, but when are you going to review a different point-and-click adventure game featuring a brooding detective in a coat that tries to solve a certain mystery regarding druids and also tries to steal his coworker's scissors?
FLOATS ABOVE CHAIR MENACINGLY
Two days ago. Toppest of keks to ye
Wish granted
0:39 I recognise Mystery of the Druids footage anywhere! It's coming....
And it did.
Man, Frank Klepacki did a wonderful job with the soundtrack, Westwood had the rights for the Vangelis soundtrack, but they didn't get the master recordings, so Frank had to re-do the soundtrack by ear, the madman.
Edit: oh you mentioned it, neat, my bad.
I can't name a single track he made which sucked. Also it's simply amazing what he can do. Techno, rock, sci-fi, ambient, you name it, he does it.
18:09 Villeneuve is clearly making a "DUNC" movie
the entire movie is about duncan idaho, sequel is when he comes back as hayt
WHATS MY NAME?
DUNCACCINO!
IT'S A WHOLE NEW GAME!
@@pnutz_2 So just like all the books then.
The most badass thing about this game is the fact that MANY stuff from it seemed to return in the Blade Runner 249 movie by Villeneuve. The idea of a police-replicant? Check. Crystal Steele is like the younger version of the chief played by Robin Wright (in my mind I consider them to be the same character, adding the game to the canon). The talk with the senator about making replicants work on Earth legal... well, Tyrell died, but that finally happened - I imagine that the politician took the idea, ran with it, and then that other corp, Wallace, profited from the changes (I'm not sure, but I think that the android K was also Wallace manufactured). Stuff like that.
Tyrel nexus models were banned full stop after the first movie, Wallace's ones were only allowed later because they were pre-programmed to be obedient, it's all in 49's opening.
"Could you imagine that LA was a real city? And that people wanted to live there? *Laugh*"
I live in California, and felt this in my soul. Also, that laugh was magical.
Isn't it funny how we lost Westwood, but Blizzard is still around? Sometimes I hate this industry.
@CountFenrir yes and no. Between stuttering kid and kleptomanic pampered kid, who's more likely to become a criminal as an adult?
Sometimes?
Visceral is dead yet Bioware still "lives"
EEEEEAAAAAAA
Naah, Blizzard isn't really around anymore. Both studios attached themselves to parasites, it's just that EA drained Westwood dry and discarded it, while Activision is wearing Blizzard like a skin suit.
@@Tleilaxu0 Activision is Leatherface confirmed.
12:27 Holy god damn, that laugh is too scary. Mandalore is evil scientist confirmed!
I have developed a habit of falling asleep to the man's monotone voice reviewing old games. Life is weird sometimes.
Same. His videos are great for that.
In the next day I wake up and rewatch it from the part I fell asleep.
I did so with Megaman speed runs awhile back
Try Warhammer/40k lore. Some awesome videos out there.
Civie videos are also good for that.
They're just so comfy.
Vangelis was an amazing composer. Not just Blade runner.
He was the best for me.
Vangelis was one of like three people who invented electronic music. He was in large part responsible for the entire current music industry.
"Bowling alley animations with a plot" :D
Partying like it's November 2019.
hey I kno you
Don’t apologize for the Big Boss deep cover ending. That was amazing.
I played this as a kid on my grandads PC while staying at his amazing house in the country. Knew it was a good game even then. Amazing atmosphere and they built it with no film assets at all.
The RUclips channel has the feeling of old school videos that most of which are gone now. I get so excited to see youre still making videos like there disappearing
What do you mean by old school, exactly? Old school videos for me don't have anywhere near this production value. Old school for me is RUclips Poops, unregistered Hypercam 2, that white text/blue background thing that I assume was default in Windows Movie Maker, Linkin Park's Crawling and 009 Sound System Dreamscape background music, and "rate this video 5 stars".
I just mean i miss specific youtubers who dont post anymore. Lol but youre right about the production value
Rip MrBtongue.
I expect Dune to be as good as BR2049 was, and for it to make just as little money. I'll go see it in the theatre on opening week.
Honestly I think both movies are really just...dull? 2049 had some cool visuals but my God it was exceptionally boring.
I've just recently started Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? and even just the few chapters had me wondering how the first movie didn't have so much interesting shit in it.
Watching 2049 I can really feel that the sequel books weren't written by the glorious Philip K. Dick.
I can totally see why the movies only have a cult following to be honest.
@@mrcheesemunch I understand why either movie can be seen as dull, especially with 2049 being so long, but, I don't know, I was entranced the whole time while watching 2049. The movie just felt so right to me, which on later retrospect seems odd since I find some higher octane movies boring and dull but I was on the edge of my seat the whole way through 2049. I remember seeing it in theaters with my parents and half way through the movie I look over to my dad and hes passed out snoring and my mom is falling asleep as well.
Templar Knight the whole point though is that K is a nobody- we see how he seems kind of detached and unhappy, because he knows that he’s a replicant, one of thousands with the same personality and memories. After discovering the possibility that he might be deckards hybrid kid, he spends the whole movie hyping himself up, believing he can finally be a somebody because maybe he is the chosen replicant. However upon realizing he isn’t he still dies with a purpose demonstrating one of the movies major thematic points in that anybody can be a hero- even if you aren’t born into some fancy role, your actions are what ultimately come to define your life
@@LaigledeMeaux To me it just felt like it was too in love with itself to really project anything that interesting. Literally the first conversation in the book had me sitting for a minute contemplating life and emotion and make no mistake, I'm not a book guy, took me a year to read Roadside Picnics after last years resolution to be more of a reader...
I really don't get the movies way of conveying the story, after watching the first film I had basically no idea it was a post apocalyptic world and not just a regular(by todays standards) sci-fi dystopia.
I guess people don't like exposition overloads but the movies just feel like they lack a lot of detail and the visuals don't do much to explain it all.
I just felt kind of annoyed after 2049 in a "Why did I have to watch an hours worth of slow panning shots for so little information?" sort of way. Did not feel like it needed to be over 2 hours long at all.
Not that anyone is wrong to have enjoyed either movie. It just felt like nothing I hadn't seen before, compared to a movie like Annihilation. Such a beautiful and yet horrifying movie.
@@mrcheesemunch Oh man, Annihilation, now that is a fucking masterpiece.
Everyone talking about civi and Seth. And I’m just here smiling at how detective Kreal showed up at 12:15
The whole blade runner as replicant issue is far more prevalent in “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” Dick’s writing was frequently dealing with identity crises and the notion of a tenuous reality.
It's not, though. The "Blade Runner as Replicant" thing, I mean. Dick was writing about the idea of grappling with the question of differences and distinctions. Not literally "but what if ME ROBOT??", instead Dick was exploring the question "how am I any different from a robot? What am I, who am I, if there is no real difference?" It's not about Deckard being a replicant, that's not the point of the book. It's also the reason why the film works best if you don't answer the question of whether Deckard is a replicant or not. The answer is not the point, the question is the point. Struggling with it, and what you figure out while trying to answer the question. *That* is the point.
Which makes me a little depressed, that the guy's ideas get lost in translation to a degree. There's a big difference between the identity crisis of a person who isn't sure if they are a robot or not, and the identity crisis of a person who doesn't even know what the distinction is anymore. Personally I think that's why the book ends on the toad. Deckard thought it was real, brings it home, nope, electric toad. But Iran comes out of her depressive fugue to look after the toad. I think Dick is trying to suggest that at the end of the day, the toad's there. What matters is if you look after the toad or not.
@@Vulgarth1Yes it is. There is a whole passage where Deckard is accused as possibly being an android by someone who themselves is revealed to be an android later, Garland (who gets destroyed by Resch). You just assumed that I said Deckard was a replicant. I didn’t. I said the “whole blade runner as a replicant issue”. The doubt and uncertainty is entirely obvious in that whole passage. Deckard even has to carry out the VK test on himself to prove to himself that he’s not a replicant, along with Resch. That is very literally “but what if me robot?”. Isn’t it? It is.
@@georgemorley1029me when I cite 2 minor points when the other guy proves me weong
Did you do this on purpose to sync up with civvie or was it pure coincidence?
it was the gog re-release that synced them up
Bought it few weeks ago. Guess he trying to sync with me actually
Sseth is uploading a vid as we speak as well.
Has to be coinsidence, he didn't have enough time to actually develop this review as soona s Civvie's video came out, and I don't thnk the two know each other well enough to be in touch telling each other what they're up to.
@@icecold1805 They're in a very intense and unholy relationship.
You get a Blade Runner review, you get a Blade Runner review.. they're everywhere now!
(I'm sure this one will be the best though dw)
You and Civvie both had very positive reviews of this game. Nice to hear of movie-tie in games done right!
This is one of the first games I've ever played. I'm a writer myself and this game has stuck with me. I really wish the every game is differnet tech had taken off. The story itself is ptetty normal, but the little things and changes made it stand out.
RUclips 1 minute ago: Man, getting a lot of Mandalore recomendations.
RUclips 20 seconds ago: OH HI MANDALORE
'Now everything is a nightmare.' Lol, oh man, this timeline.
Love this game to death. Got my mom to buy it for me after seeing it mentioned on Screen Savers all those years ago with Leo Laporte as I missed it when it first released. Great stuff even all these decades later.

I get you, I really do.
I miss Red Alert so much.
I really hope the remakes will be good
@Esben M I mean I have a cd with all of the main games plus renegade and generals, but if the remake is good we might get more c&c goodness (I know it belongs to EA let me dream damn it)
They're in space with Tim curry now friend.
@@notsandwich2322 So the mad man did it, he finally got to the only place that wasn't corrupted by capitalism.
@@Nuggette I don't even care for a remaster. The CD I have for RA2 is old and it's an often futile struggle to even get the game to run properly on newer systems. The games aren't on Origin, EA isn't even making money off them. I just want a GOG release that makes the games playable in modern times.
I love that "I keep rolling Rolling Rollin" in the background when that door opened
One of the first video games I ever played, it took me a while to figure out how to get through it but I loved it and it's diverse multiple paths you can take.
I remember playing this game when I was a kid with my brother, it holds a special place in my heart.
I love this game. One of the very best adventures ever made, and it's so faithull to the movie. I read somewhere that the game was barely playable at launch and it was a part of why it sold poorly.
3:29 Jumpscare warning.
5:35 too.

What's the deal with that thing, since I've seen Mandalore show it more than once in his videos?

I was SO captivated playing this game in the late nineties.
I hope one day someone will make a re-make or a sequel.
Woot-woot, the Enhanced Edition is coming tomorrow!
Edit as of June 24-25, 2022: Shoot, rough launch, with the original game being supplanted by it (though it's still acquirable on the GOG version as of this writing). Alright, people, you know the drill, wait for the fixes and patches to come out before you hopefully enjoy.
Edit as of June 29, 2022: OK, even Steam has the original version, and to clarify more, both this version and GOG's also have the restored cut content in its best form. In other words, you can actually get the EE, just only for the originals. Will wait for what's to come in the newer version, though.

The sincere laughter that came after that LA joke, holy shit man
Thank you so much for this thorough and entertaining review. My biggest gripe about this old game, however, is that Westwood didn't get Edward James Olmos to reprise his role as Gaff! That was a hell of a lost opportunity.
I know. At least Blade Runner 2049 compensated.

18:11 So I guess Danny Villenut going to make a movie about time travel, exploding barrels and Tesla coils with Udo Kier in the future?
I remember when I was much younger, I was in a thrift store with my family and spotted this game for sale. I had no idea what Blade Runner was, and I was rarely allowed to play/own computer games at the time. I remember almost begging Mom to buy it for me, but that was a hard no, so I eventually forgot about it.
Seeing this review unlocked that memory, and I honestly feel like this would have been a game I played into the night & obsessed over. I'm glad I get to play it these days, and on much better hardware.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane :)
This was a lovely trip down memory lane - thank you.
Any PkD world in game format is a killer premise. Looks interesting! I see lil references like Runciters to his other books (Ubik)
Remington Gagnard there is Ubik game
You never fail to make my day with one of your videos. Thank you! By the way, the voice-acting for the protagonist being a bit terrible seems appropiate if you take into account the horrible VO in one of the original's cut.

This game is amazing. One of my favourite adventure games to date. The fact that some of its events are random, for it's time, is really impressive.
I played the original back then and loved it. Thanks for this!
Also, if you liked this one... "The Longest Journey" ... the best Adventure ever made!
Ah man one of my favorite games from my youth, together with Thief2 and Baldursgate2. I was so happy that they managed to rereleased it. Lost my discs years ago.
2:05 American Badass Undertaker knows your location. Also LOL at the RAID Shadow Legends meme.
"Bowling alley anims with plot," oh my god, my sides.
I absolutely loved this game when it first came out. It was way ahead of it's time. Even though it was just a point & click adventure game.
I was sucked in for hours at a time. Then I found out how much went in to making the game.
I didn't even watch the movie when I watched my cousin play this as a kid, the first game I can remember that really felt like a living world to me
That music that plays when you step out onto that balcony from your apartment... So good. I could listen to that for hours.
Now this is truly Legendary.
Loved playing this game. Best part was the alternate endings depending on who you chose to side with.
"Do you have something for me?"
*Fuckin' lights the place up*
Alright, who's telling mandalore that Los Angeles actually "exists"?
Haha, you mean like within the fiction of Blade Runner right?
i just watched civvie review lol
CV11 makin' reviews? I thought 'tis just gaming show.
@@BrobjeV playing a game pointing whats great and whats bad about it, is a review in my book
@@BrobjeV His reviews are usually spot-on, filled with great insight and actual knowledge of the subject matter. You're free to dislike his sense of humor, but equating his reviews to a show is quite disingenuous to say the least.
@@BrobjeV You know nothing.
The alter ego lore grows thicker
Warhammer videos on hold? I'm just glad you've actually planned to make them! I liked the Blade Runner flicks so this one would feel great to watch too.
Two videos in one day on both of your accounts? Thanks Seth that just great made my day
I found this on my dads computer when I was 8. I remember trying to secretly play it for YEARS, my only memory was of some absurdly atmospheric and hard blade puzzle game. This video brought back a lot of memories I never knew I had about the game, that fat soup guy I remember specifically... Not a game an 8y old should have been playing.
Hey Mandalore, The Journeyman Project! Would love to hear a review about that one!
Interrogation room.
Suspect:"I'm not gonna talk without my lawyer."
