2026 UPDATE - Some music in the video got struck down unfortunately. Very strange, but I'll see if it can get restored somehow on the backend.

It's not YouTube choppiness, it's just the game.

"The music is amazing, let's look at how they use it in cutscenes!" [muted]

Thank you, Tommy Tallarico

"Halo Killer"
"Start of a trilogy"

Tempting fate I see.

8:20 I'm a big fan of this dude dropping the unicorn horn being timed right with the copyright strike audio cutout. Like the entire universe was so disappointed in him for failing to lift it that it just wiped out all sound in existence.

"Halligan then opens up a black hole"
So that's what he needed the scissors for.

7:20 "You destroyed my world!"

"Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?"

The composer's mother must be very proud.

"Dude, why haven't you updated your graphics card in 18 years?!"
"So I can play Advent Rising with dynamicccc shadooows!"
"Oh fair, good point"

This feels like what Titan A.E. would be if it was a video game.

It's nice Tommy went hard on that soundtrack, but nothing will be as good as his work Metroid Prime

I love how Halligan has traumatized Mandalore so much he haunts him in every bad game

Ah yes, that carpet that every apartment built between 1950 and 2010 that's just the right shade of grey to where you can't see how filthy it's getting.

Maybe the human characters all grew up in low gravity and have lanky bird bones

>The camera spins around, forcing you to fight forever
Are these Cycles of Guilt?

"you destroyed my world"

Low-key gave me some Hunt Down the Freeman "you fucked up my face" vibes

With music by the guy who didn't make the Roblox Oof sound

"Except in Halo the ai can actually drive you"
Just because they can doesn't mean they should

22:21 Love how Mandy has a Freudian slip and calls the MC Halligan as the story starts to get batshit. The influence of the Droods is far-reaching indeed.
