Hello again all. Apologies for being stealthy this year. I felt compelled to work on a follow-up video essay to that one I did on The Forest. This time on Sons of the Forest, its sequel. I've finished the first hour, fancied a break, so I made this. Now I'm going to go back to it. You'll see me resurface near the end of the year with a large video in tow. Hope you're all doing well.
When I first started HD2, the minefields were my go-to stratagems. I never used them with intent to kill my allies and yet I'm sure my mines killed more allies than enemies.
"Sorry for weird voice I had food poisoning" Me: "Oh how bad can it be? I'm sure it won't be noticeable." Sith lord Palpatine: "This is why he's being indecisive, he can't decide where to eat..." Me: "Oh!"
most of the time when youtubers say that their voice sounds weird because they're sick, it's barely noticeable but womble straight up sounds like he's going through a second puberty
Normal youtuber colds: Sorry guys my voice is a bit weird *literally no difference* Soviet womble having a cold: Sorry guys my voice is a bit weird *IS LITERALLY A TEENAGER NOW*
well remember the time he got locked in his bathroom, and the firefighters who busted him out were called in because the neighbours thought a YOUNG GIRL was locked somewhere?
The subtitle is HIS youtube career. Paraphrasing our favorite Indian ZF, any monkey can record ZF gaming sessions, cut it up, and upload it to youtube. The subtitle is the part that's hard to do. And even if someone tried doing it (few other ZF members have tried uploading their own bullshittery-like videos), it didn't come out as good as his. Only recently he started diversifying into video essays, so he won't be known as just "the subtitle guy".
I was thinking while watching this video that it sure would be cool for to have a voice chat feature in game, that was proximity chat, but also with the chat above your head like how he edits into the videos. You could customize your letters, and such. Rainbow letters would be 9.99 lol.
Between the frantic, panic-inducing situations, how easy it is to get into fights with your teammates, and the over abundance of friendly fire, I want to see more of ZF playing this game ASAP
1:23 Piece of advice to PC helldivers: Rebind your stratagem keys to the arrows instead of WASD so you don't have to stop in order to call in stratagems. Additionally, bind the stratagem pull-up to right ctrl and you can do all your stratagem stuff with one hand.
This might be the best timing for you to post a video, i have nothing to do except watch youtube and play games because im recovering from jaw surgery, while it may hurt to laugh or smile this video is appreciated
As a Tarkov enjoyer (mainly SPT and fika now) I am a bit of a connoiseur of good grenade throws, and I have to say, Womble impresses me with these throws. :D
The power of actually editing it frame by frame, manual labor does pay off, probably not as much as it should money wise, but it definietly looks clean as hell
Every time Soviet uploads, I'm dazzled by the editing done to the video. I don't know if he does it or someone else, but it's phenomenal. The text is just peak comedy. Most videos like this are done chronologically, showing events happening as they do throughout the playthrough but the way they group bits together like the grenades and the diving is just so fun, rather than showing a longer video and those things happening intermittently. If that makes sense. WITHOUT ANYMORE RAMBLING, great vid!
I love every second in which Soviet is actually kicking ass. Arma 3 with his doomsday rounds, Rising storm vietman with his granade launcher and that "Stupid piece of paper" and now here, with the beautiful granading.
I beg you make more of this, glad we got to see your reaction to Shriekers and Factory Striders, hope we get more vids with Behemoths and Gunships :) this video actually made me extremely happy
As always, hilarious and amazing editing. I wish I understood how you do this kind of things so well, especially with the "incendiary mines" part. This kind of dedication to your craft is amazing, because I know this ain't easy to do and is very time-consuming.
Womble, you and your friends are absolutely hilarious right out of the gate. Your text animations have really improved over the years and I love them. So proud of you for aiming the grenades properly! 😂
Well this reminded me how fun Helldivers 2 is and we just got a new warbond release so I guess I’m blocking off a couple hour tomorrow for some games, cheers womble
Still to this day, SovietWomble is single handedly the funniest youtuber I have ever had the pleasure of watching. Seeing this video on my feed made me so happy before I even watched it. Then I watched it and my night got even better. Love the content.
Good to hear we have another behemoth essay coming at the end of the year. Frankly, the Hbomberguy method of fucking off for the year and coming in with a banger would really suit you.

"The" year means this current one, right? RIGHT? Just checking.
ayoo, imma be rdy for the movie
I JUST rewatched that video this past weekend and wondered when you'd upload next, looking forward to that!
Oy, thanks for the upload dude
That's alright, we've come to realize that the lack of content means something big is coming up, so no rush with your posting 💚
Classic ZF, first thing you do is check if there's friendly fire
Then proceed to properly perform friendly fire
Make sure there's friendly fire*
Classic any multiplayer game
Wdym?
First thing he did was check out his teammates ass while he was bending over the holomap table.
Now that's classic ZF Womble.
ZF's standard for good games: being able to add your friends to the kill feed.
Womble, you don't have to lie to us about your "food poisoning"; I'm proud of you for finally hitting puberty.
What a way to learn Womble has been suffering from Benjamin Button disease this whole time.
To be honest, it kind of made him sound like Hannah Montana. The raspy, slightly higher pitched voice.
My man getting prostate exam before hitting puberty
His balls had to drop some time. Was surprised he had any.
@@RubbaDuckie32 Hopefully it's a proper prostate exam and not him getting fingered by his doctor..again lol
7:56 The way the subtitle text for "Incendiary Mines" split apart was just priceless.
🤌👌
Classic womble editing
no wonder we only get 3 videos a year
@@pyroavok This small maneuver gonna cost us 6 month.
Reminds of the Monsters Inc intro
I like how they were initially excited until they realized what that meant when Soviet informed them he'd unlocked a new minefield.
"Oh! Oh...."
When I first started HD2, the minefields were my go-to stratagems. I never used them with intent to kill my allies and yet I'm sure my mines killed more allies than enemies.
"Sorry for weird voice I had food poisoning"
Me: "Oh how bad can it be? I'm sure it won't be noticeable."
Sith lord Palpatine: "This is why he's being indecisive, he can't decide where to eat..."
Me: "Oh!"
Seriously. Never heard of a food poisoning that fucks up your voice.
@@OctyabrAprelya I can imagine if you have to throw up frequently that does something to your throat
most of the time when youtubers say that their voice sounds weird because they're sick, it's barely noticeable but womble straight up sounds like he's going through a second puberty
ZF. Helldivers. I don’t even need to watch the entire video to know a good chunk of the deaths are friendly fire.
And you were right!!
"Would you like to know more?!"
I mean, that's ZF in any game.
Rico, you know what to do
Yup
The one bug womble couldn't defeat: A stomach bug.
*Facepalm*
Rest in peace womble. You will be missed
@@ImNotFine44Better prepare the ZF PUBG eulogy then.
@@Mrstealth93 will Digby be singing Amazing Grace on the background?
@@LucyFerr000 I have no doubt he will. Maybe if a little cash is offered.
7:58 the effect of the "incendary mines" text going all over the place was pretty neat!
👏
This isn't that hard to do
It's timeconsuming to track every Letter to every nade. Sure it's Not hard but it's dedication to the craft.
Have to give props to the editor for the 1:14 sequence.
The subtitles are literally doused with flames as Womble is. Beautiful work.
Womble himself is the editor :)
The edits are his choices and work and they are great.
He is the editor :)
That's the reason why we wait about half a year for each upload.
One of the few popular TH-camrs who actually edit their own content lol
We have reached the Moment. This is the moment Womble goes through puberty. May he come through the other side sounding like Thor Hall.
iiis that Thor "Goblin King" Hall, of Pirate Software?
Second puberty is a pain on the ol cords, but it'll be worth it
You can almost hear Womble's voice as he reads this comment: "motherf**ers..." *sigh*
“Can you trip on this and die?”
‘Yes’
“I’m unlocking this immediately”
Resonated with me on an emotional level
"I'm helping!" xDDD
"I've unlocked a 🔥second type of minefield🔥"
(sad Helldiver noises)
Never thought I would see something as scary as “Cyanide’s found the napalm”
The effort it took for him to say it because of his voice really added to the delivery of that line.
5:20 “what do you mean it explo-“
I feel like that’s peak Soviet there. Threw a nade, got blown up as a result. Really takes me back
Soviet... Soviet never changes.
5:13 I kind of want to congratulate Womble for getting his grenades on point.
It only took several years, a global upheaval, and changing to a completely different game!
Womble can't hit a grenade throw to save his life in cs but he's a fucking savant in helldivers
Normal youtuber colds: Sorry guys my voice is a bit weird *literally no difference*

This comment is great. Mainly because it’s not copied and or overused! I hope you randomly find $20 in your pocket!
Womble finally unstuck his hand from his willy after mistaking glue as a lubricant
7:58 You absolute over-editor, perfectly tracking the mines for a 10 second joke.
We don't deserve these videos lmao
His background in QA will not allow him to make a shit video lol
"What do you mean it explo-?"
*Curb Your Enthusiasm theme plays*

It was nice seeing you all again. See you guys again in 2030, it's going to be great.
Man puts more effort into his subtitles than most TH-camrs put in their whole careers.
The scattering "Incendiary mines" was a particularly prominent example.

Tying the subscriber alert to the dive action may be the most brilliant CTA ever created! 🤣
Up to 104 potential keys to choose for a "thank a sub" button Womble chose the Spacebar
Left Alt is the key for diving in helldivers, but I agree spacebar would be hilariously dumb to have considering most games
@@jk56 or the need to type in general

whats the joke?
@@nj.7325cringy Star Wars dialog
The absolute indignation in Digby's voice when Womble lands his nades...*chefs kiss*
"What bizarro world am I living in where YOU land a frag and I don't?"

The animation of all the letters of "incendiary mines" flying in arcs across the screen was just *Chef's Kiss*.
I was thinking while watching this video that it sure would be cool for to have a voice chat feature in game, that was proximity chat, but also with the chat above your head like how he edits into the videos. You could customize your letters, and such. Rainbow letters would be 9.99 lol.

7:53 that text spreading with the mines was chefkiss!
Food poisoning has turned Soviet Womble into Soviet Weevil.
You have to admire Soviet Womble's persistence. Even with food poisoning he'll still go on mission. That's what Space Diapers are for!
It's Super Diapers, not Space Diapers.
Man, even in my darkest depressed hours theres these fcks making me smile
Hope you're doing well 😊

Piece of advice to PC helldivers:
Rebind your stratagem keys to the arrows instead of WASD so you don't have to stop in order to call in stratagems. Additionally, bind the stratagem pull-up to right ctrl and you can do all your stratagem stuff with one hand.
This might be the best timing for you to post a video, i have nothing to do except watch youtube and play games because im recovering from jaw surgery, while it may hurt to laugh or smile this video is appreciated
Get well soon!
best wishes for recovery :) definitely been in your boat before, used to watch womble when i was sick
Nothin like some cozy content when recovering 😊
I know they say laughter is the best medicine man but...
Hope you make a very swift recovery EvadeDragon :)
"What do you mean it explo-..."
Womble.... Womble never changes.
At least the grenade landed where it was supposed to.
Womble finally found the secret to throwing nades accurately, getting food poisoning.
I wait in great anticipation for your next release! May you have a nice break and we will see you at the end of the year!
your vids are always a smirkfest, a pleasure to watch. This is how games should be played and id love to see more
Looks like all that artillery maths in Vietnam carried over to chucking nades in other games. What has been unleashed!? D:
Idk i think we are in some kind of alternative reality 😂

Finally after all this year, Womble can actually throw a nade

Honestly, super excited!
Best video of the year ! I was waiting desperately for Womble to post one like this goddamn it feels good to see ZF back !! :) Take good care Womble !
Welcome to the ZF Division, where *everything* other than yourself is a target. Yes, even the people you came to the fight with.
Specially the people you have come to the fight with.
Specially the people you have come to the fight with.
8:33 That Starship Troopers reference!
NIce to see that Womble's affinity for explosives extends past his impromptu mortars in Rising Storm XD
Womble throwing good nades? We are indeed living in the last times
Womble actually being good with nades, what a time to be alive!

This man’s schedule is like interstellar short time for him but fuckin decades for us
You know it’s a splendid day when Womble’s posted a video. Thanks for the good laugh!
"Actually competent with grenades?" someone forgot about the squares
I feel like we need more than just 10 mins of this, I can't stop watching!
he streamed it for hours go on twitch and watch the vods they are hilarious
Womble hitting nades is the least thing I expected in this video
Finally, the annual Womble video, what a day to be alive...
If you find the time please make more helldivers videos, I feel like your subtitles add a lot to the goofy deaths in this game. Would love to see more
It's been a while since I laughed this hard over a YT video. The bullshittery videos never fail to make me laugh.
