April 4th, 1940 - January 29th, 2022
Oh damn, it's Lee Jackson. One legend paying respects to another.
Thank you Lee, he will be missed. :(
no way
Rest in peace, king 😢
RIP Thank you for the Childhood memories John
Lo Wang’s character seems like an old japanese/chinese man who when he first learned english, learned his name was slang for dick and thought it was the funniest thing ever, and that should explain the rest of his sense of humor
Yeah, I think that's my head canon.
Sort of a wise man approach to the dawning millennium.
One cannot break the man who knows his name means well hung dick.
As a Chinese, I can confirm that Lo Wang is in fact a perfectly accurate and respectful representation of a average adult male of the Chinese ethnicity.
Unrelated, but I appreciate your appreciation of Gyan
@@AreGeeBee My brother. My vase brother. Appreciation of the Gyan's perfect form is never irrelevant.
Nice Chinese
Thank you Chinese Person.
Ok, that's... Good to know

This should an official quote.
@@OfficerHotpants Well, some old games did. Recent games will never be remembered, not one. The only one recently that was good was metro exodus, but I don't think I will remember it forever either.
I say this on a daily basis. And I've never even played this game
Cod ain't got shit on this
@@jojolafrite90 Some recent games do stand out, usually the ones that do their own thing enough to just be crazy fun, rather than worrying about ticking all the boxes and lining up their design with all the lowest common denominators for humanity's generalized tastes and spending the whole budget on graphics and polycount and other skin-deep aspects.
Nightmare Reaper is jolly good fun, for one, albeit it borrows from a lot of games (in the best way, though... except the Mario bits... I don't care for the Mario bits, but I'm too proud to just turn them off X.x)
Oh, and Death Stranding, for instance, within the mostly ruined big business space... they made a remarkable game there, I feel, interesting in its focus on just... helping people. Both NPCs within the world, and other players experiencing their own instance of it, where your ladders, bridges and things might bleed through into their reality and make things a bit easier on some stranger, which I find to be a nice thought.
Hard to beat the classic games for soundtracks and badassery, though.^^
My favorite thing is when the nuke counts down, sometimes Lo Wang just laughs
This and a similar detail in halo reach when you bash down a grunt as a female spartan.
Rare detailing and the
Peak of good game design.
The reach Spartans base voice reminds me of the shi* talking in ion maiden
Interestingly, Google translate does actually translate the chinese on the sign for ripper valley as "Ape Monster Valley". So, it's apparently accurate chinese. Go figure.
Because Google translate is super accurate
@@chin4581 always
Close enough
I always picture Civvie nervously tugging at his collar whenever this video gets to the "Row, row, row your boat" part.
Not sure if you know this or not, but Smoke bombs heavily increase the power of your fists for the duration of their activation.
I did not know this. I almost never use inventory items aside from medkit and gas bombs. My honor is tarnished.
Consider Seppuku!
The smoke bombs are stupidly useful. Almost OP. They're also related to the name of the game, like if Quake was called Quad Damage Warrior.
They are, in fact. if you happen to have infinite ammount of them the game becomes cheap easy
Not only do they increase the power, they also give your fists a short ranged attack, roughly doubling your reach.
fun fact my Japanese buddy does a pretty good Lo Wang impersonation he finds this game the peak of comedy by the by
Grats on his sense of humoour

Now let a white liberal demand what he should be offended by

It's more that edgy humour is just not funny because it's just the same punchline of "haha! Weren't excepting that were you!?!??@?@?@" maybe if you haven't seen three hundred 9/11 for a very long time then maybe the millionth clip of a regular planning turning and then cutting to the twin towers will actually make you feel something
@@vintheguy if you don't like that then you're going to absolutely hate what passes for comedy amongst leftists who worship unfunny "surreal" memes
Just realized Civvie's Blood series sold me on Blood, and now I'm downloading Shadow Warrior. Enjoyed the former so much I played through Death Wish too. Finished Amid Evil, Dusk, Postal 2, Terminator: Resistance, Duke 3D, and Doom 1/2. Wasn't even a PC shooter fan before. This channel is the probably the best of its kind owing to the humor and presentation.
Welcome to the fold
Colbert Bump trope for the win.
1:58 aged well
RIP John Galt, you fucking legend.
"It is natural to die." Rest well John Galt. My condolences.
''Whooo want some Wang?''
Well, there goes my boomer shooter pipedream starring Jon St. John, John Galt and Stephan Weyte. RIP you magnificent bastard.
"J.C. Denton, in the fresh." - Tracer Tong from Deus Ex, who John also voiced.
Edit: Guess I was wrong. Talk about a "Beam Me Up, Scotty" scenario.
@@michaelandreipalon359 Actually, Tracer didn't say that line. It was Maggie, when you first meet her in her apartment.
But it's cool that John voiced Tracer, I didn't know that!
All I took away from this game was one line:
*WHOO WANTA SOM WANG??*
Why did you put R.I.P. under John Galt's name? He's not dead lol, JakeTheVoice did an interview with him a month ago.
Because at the time I read that John Galt was dead, and it was clearly the wrong one because I watched that video. TH-cam annotations would be really useful now.
@@Civvie11 I see, easy mistake to make. :) Love your channel by the way, covering the golden age of FPS with a good dose of humor, great stuff!
I am real glad to hear it
Wait the dude is actually named John Galt? Christ I would've had a name change rather spend my days sharing the name with Ayn Rand's ubermensch
@Manek Iridius probably, but i got forced to read her pretentious drivel back in high school for a literature class. Our teacher happened to be one of the fans. Worse literature class i ever took.
build engine is a little broken but blood, duke 3d and shadow warrior are just so full of character like the designers really gave a shit. i wish that was still a thing
Those games are still are thing, just really rare.
John Carmack once said that he thought Duke Nukem 3D looked like it was held together with chewed gum, and he couldn't really see why people liked it.
He's completely right in that DN3D is held together with chewed gum, but the game is so fun, and the presentation so great, it kind of excuses it.
@@0neDoomedSpaceMarine He also complimented the guy that wrote the Build Engine on his own, Ken Silverman.
"If I had to pick who I think is just the most talented, it would probably be Ken Silverman, the guy that did the BUILD engine. He does engines and tools. He's great as an editor. He writes all the code for everything, and he's just extremely talented."
Sdsdfdu He's pretty damn talented, indeed.
Michael Persico
Duke Nukem had different strengths though.
If you look at Quake, it's real 3D graphics with real 3D levels, but as said, this was taxing on computers at the time, so detailing would have to be rained in a little.
The result is that in some ways, the game's locales can come off as oddly empty, however, Quake is a game with abstract level design, and with a little bit of an odd horror theme, so that it sometimes feels barren is actually quite suitable, considering the otherworldly monsters that inhabit these places.
Looking at Duke, it's a sector based 2.5D game, not unlike (yet still different), from Doom, except years later, where people would have more than powerful enough computers for a game like Doom. So the graphics and rendering is simpler, and what do they do? They detail the everloving fuck out of the levels; there's garbage cans, coffee cups on desks and counters, chairs, lamps, bottles and jars, grafitti and posters on walls, barrels, trees, fire hydrants, fire extinguishers, fire itself, water fountains, toilets, mirrors... I could go on and on. There's all this detailing used to make locations look more livable and authentic, many of them can be interacted with or destroyed, and a lot of them will have an effect on gameplay when you do that.
It does a lot for immersion.
Back to rewatch this playlist in memory of John Galt. RIP
What a sad way to start 2022.

"Do you want to wash Wang ? Or do you want to watch Wang wash wang ?"
Lo Wang is a chinese man who moved to Japan by Zilla's orders. That could possibly explain everything.

8:39 when I played this game... some 20 years ago... I found a secret on those hills, a secret room where a girl was showering. I think she was showering. Then she attacked me with an uzi, if I remember correctly.
Well, RIP a legend of FPS Voice Actors
F
Your decision to record audio afterwards in a nice slick edit is ace dude, and YES build engine explosions are immensely satisfying. Subbed.
I guess i could say, Civvie never gets bored of playing with some *Wang*

"Oh, you make mistake!"
What is it about such deliberate understatements being so damn hilarious?
Duke Nukem meets Big Trouble in Little China.
Perfect, that should've been the tagline
Shadow Warrior: So your game is called "Duke Nukem", eh? Hold my beer. *STAND-BY*
"Hey, come back here and finish fight! Ugury, scary snake shit-face!"
That line gets me every time xD
"Lo Wang, a man with a Chinese name, who lives in Japan" this whole game is just one big lol
When I first played this game, I set it to the highest difficulty. When I first pulled the switch that was beyond the door you need the silver key to open, I instantly died to the shadow ninja so I thought pulling the switch activated some sort of cannon that would shoot into the room you were in.
"requires some finesse"... Nuke account:2
You killed me with this one
RIP John Galt. You'll never be forgotten, you legend.
I come back to Pro Wang occasionally and your description at 11:56-12:15 never fails to crack me up.
Friendly reminder that if this guy reaches 100k subscribers he will play Duke Nukem Forever
Playing through the remake atm, definitely seems to be a reimagining, and not a straight remake based on your videos of this original. It's a lot of fun though.
Well yeah the entire game is different. It's more of a remake of Hard Reset than one of Shadow Warrior Classic.
It’s not a remake. It’s a reboot. Big difference.
Feel free to ignore the sequel, it's not even remotely as good.
I thought it was okay. I'm enjoying it more than the reboot.
I think the Shadow Warrior Reboot is okay when you upgrade only the Katana, but at act 3 the whole game starts to get repetetive... and i say this as a serious sam fan.
Man every time civvie does a retro FPS I always get in the mood to go back through the old retro FPS videos. This time it was Powerslave that started the itch
Rest easy, John Galt.
I was having a vitamin C efervescent drink and I spilled it all out with the Hiroshima joke..
You like to live dangerously, I see.
I came in here assuming I didn't want to play this game, because Build Engine and "eh, duke nukem was average"
3 minutes into the video and I'm leaving. I HAVE to play this.
"my hatred of them, drives me to test myself"
that is a good line
aw, you skipped secret with bound&gagged Tomb Raider :(
HerrDext3r her name is Lara Croft. Tomb Raider is the game. Surely you'd know that by now?
@@lionocyborg6030 Well, Wang himself says she's raided her last tomb. Because she's a tomb raider. 😋
@@abadenoughdude300 That is true, but she still has a name. That's like calling Kim Possible "teenage Perfect Dark" or vice versa.

You're a hidden gem.
Thanks so are you bro
@@BigboiiTone he was talking about civvie...
John William Galt was just so much fun as Lo Wang that the obvious pitfalls of cringe that could (and would) come with playing this character instead become part of the charm. We lost a damn fine man, and sadly for real this time.
*Salutes*
Given that Lo Wang's Chinese and what Japanese did to them in World War 2, Wang's nuke jokes aren't as tasteless as you may think, lol.
once when a coolie exploded in front of me and left me with like 2 health, lo wang just shrugged it off and said "pain is for the weak." that's really cool, i wish it happened more often.
ah yeah, this makes my Wang, go hard as steel.
Haiku?

R.I.P. John William Galt. See you on the other side of Ripper Valley.
I just found out John galt the voice of lo wang passed away yesterday rip to the legend
Here's to John William Galt who passed this year, an awesome dude and a great voice actor who will be missed.
Here for the John Galt comments. rip
One of John Galt's (who is still alive as of 2018) sons is Geoff Galt, writer/artist/voice actor on Cyanide and Happiness.
"But I know they're in there, because something in there is bleeding". Beautiful.
John Galt is actually still alive and kicking. For the most part he's retired from voice acting but still does some for Cyanide Happiness. He's writer now and has tons of really cool stories if you ever talk to him on the phone or in person.
nope, passed away now
@@johnnycruelty5195 John Galt died 2 days ago, not 3 years ago.
Lo Wang is voiced by the same guy who narrated the original Jay Jay the Jet Plane, and that will forever be funny.
For all the stereotypes, can I just say that in all art depictions (your thumbnails and the main screen in game and at 1:08) Lo Wang looks fucking badass?
"I know they're in there because something in there is bleeding" - Civvie 11
I really appreciate that Civvie is just real about the old comedy that didn't age well.
Better than a lot of other TH-cam channels in this genre.
I watched this, accepting John Galt has passed, but the day after he did infact pass.
That really aged well.
Rest easy.
Criminally Underrated
Now John Galt is dead. Just happened today. RIP.
Anyone watching this and thinking of getting Shadow Warrior, buy the Classic Redux version. Trust me, $10 well spent, plays SO much better;)

Me: Can’t make it past the first fucking level on Tiny Grasshopper
you know i kinda draw the line at certain things. like making light of the only nuclear detonations in civillian cities. if i could ask for any kind of censorship, i'd ask to take both that line and the nuke as a whole out. or replace it with something not so... awful.
iunno just make it a spell that gibs anything in range. this might be the hardest build engine game for me to play simply because of how... no that single "joke" is.
i felt a similar level of numb anger that was felt during dnfs "you're fucked" scene.
just... in what universe would that be funny.
Well fuck, RIP john william galt.
"I've been playing Shadow Warrior since i was way too young to be playing Shadow Warrior."
I mean... weren't we all?
If you shoot the Coolie corpse a bit just after you kill it the spectre will not appear.
A good way to control those pests without using eplosives
I know that nobody cares, but the term "coolie" originates from a term meaning "bitter strength" and, especially within a Chinese context, is basically a more negative way of referring to day laborers. It's also fairly common in only "Kung Fu" movies and would be used with this meaning basically exclusively.
That said, there is another way of using "coolie" primarily in the Caribbean or in African countries referring to slaves or indentured slaves(or more likely the defendants thereof anymore) that is seen as racist. But that is largely irrelevant in regards to this game.
So I just picked up Shadow Warrior. I'm Chinese.
I feel like this game is one of those things where it crosses the line twice. If Lo Wang was placed into a serious narrative, or taken / treated as some emblem of how Chinese people actually were, I'd totally understand wanting to never touch it again. One part of me would still laugh at it because of how hilariously, intentionally dumb you'd have to be to put out media like that, but the other part would be deeply saddened at the fact that people thought that it was an accurate portrayal. Luckily, the game is so obviously over the top & dumb (&, given 3D Realms' work on Duke Nukem 3D, that's almost certainly intentional) that it crosses back around into being funny. I got the sense that the developers had a ball of a time poking fun at all of these cheesy portrayals of Asians & kung-fu stereotypes, & that I, as the player, was supposed to laugh with them. And I have, even if I haven't seriously started playing the game yet. That said, I can totally see why someone would groan at the humor or avoid it, especially with the rise of COVID.
Anyways, those are my thoughts. Also shout-outs to Civvie for consuming my life over the past week. Don't worry, it's not like I have a social life & academic goals & other interests...
Shit.
Seriously though, thanks for this review & the wealth of content. Keep it up.
"...oookay that _is_ in pretty bad taste."
😁😁😂
7:12 *Sees something growling in the darkness* Nope *Pulls out nuke* XD
3:57 I think it's funny that you put the green pants ninja when you said brown. The shadow ninjas wear green, but you'll never see it except when they're dead, dying or getting ready to kill themselves. Which is to say, I think you accidentally put the same enemy twice. A dying one in the first position and a livelier one in the last position.
11:22 - You know that projectiles travel through the portal, right? You could have safely launched a nuke, or at the very least, a volley of rocket or grenades through to thin out the horde of enemies on the other side.
i do not reccommend it
theres something weird about that specific portal and the nuke triggers in my face half the time i try to launch it through there xd
I love that I’ve watched some many of Civvie’s videos that I’m blaming Randy Pitchford for literally everything that goes bad in Shadow Warrior... like It genuinely wouldn’t surprise me if he designed that fucking grenade launcher because the blast radius man!
"I have been playing Shadow Warrior since I was way too young to be playing Shadow Warrior."
Right there with you, brother.
I never had a problem with this games racial implications. I never had a problem with ANY games racial-/sexual slurs.
Because it's just entertainment and I'm not a thin-skinned snowflake like everybody is today.
You were lucky around 8:25 that any hornet didnt flew into path of your nuke missile
Looks like the RIP John Galt thing didn't age too well
Low-Wang is such a badass he ages backwards
We'll never get to see the Unholy Trinity of Wang, Duke and Caleb in the same game
And thats a real tragedy!
BishopGantry It's more a quadrilogy if you count Bombshell. A pentology if you count Marcus Jones from Marathon, but that may be tricky as Aleph One sourceport of Forge/Vulcan 2 is only _similar_ to the build engine and arguably even more janky, especially the lack of jumping without external scripts and even more the modern level editor as it doesn't even have a 3D texturing/sector height adjustment mode like even the old Forge engine did.

7:59 me any time a bee comes near me.
I'm sure it looks just as goofy.
When you brought up the tank, I just realized Shadow Warrior and Goldeneye came out the same year a month apart from each other. That's got to be ironic for both 3D Realms and Rare.
Where im from "COOLIE" means "your ass" (or your asshole) . We would joke and say "u have a stinky Coolie lol. Im from South Philadelphia . Its really oldschool so U aint gonna find that on the internet.
Friendly reminder that if this guy reaches 100k subscribers he will play Duke Nukem Forever
RIP John Galt.... for real this time.
I have really fond memories of this game, I won a copy on a local TV show. You had to send a letter to win a Nintendo 64, and the runner ups get to pick a PC game. I remember I wanted a N64 to play GoldenEye, I didn't get the first prize but the 3rd tho. I got a call asking what game I chose, I picked Shadow Warrior because the TV presenter always said the name in this really racist accent... oh god it was so funny.
I played Shadow Warrior a lot of course, I got Duke Nukem and Blood because of it, remember reading on a magazine about the "holy trinity" of the build engine.
I want Duke Nukem/Shadow Warrior/Blood/Ion -Fury- Maiden crossover with the original VAs. Yes, It will never happen, but a man can dream.
