@@fawnieee Well, in communism you wouldnt get any video games at all. So I rather take plenty of shit games with a few gems than none at all considering I grew up in a country with no advancements at all.
@@PresidentScrooge Yeah... I don't think you know how anything works other than what you've been told to believe by capitalist propaganda. Always this notion that "you'll just take what you can get" is the reason why capitalism is allowed to place profit margins > everything. A system of society that places profit over everything is not even remotely innovative, but simply caters to what gains the most profit. Hence why resources are so readily wasted, why capitalism didn't give a shit about space travel until a society that was desperately trying to achieve communism (which it had not) started caring about space travel. But I'm not gonna argue on a vid about BW, do your own research on Marx, Lenin's theories and come to your own conclusions instead of listening to what you've been told by capitalist propaganda all your life. I get that it'll be hard, because it's been massaged into your brain and subconscious to avoid it with your life and repeat all they've told you, but give it a go. And no, I don't believe you've looked into it otherwise you wouldn't have a "I quite contentedly pick corn out of shit" mentality you've been brainwashed into having.
@@fawnieee Nice paragraph, mate. Problem is, I grew up and was raised into a socialist country. No capitalist propaganda there, but Marx and Lenin were part of the curriculum. It was a shithole, though. And we were prevented from travelling through tight border control because people didn't want to stay here - except for the perpetuators who helped continue this tyranny. Everyone else was piss poor and we just had the most basic necessities. And even that wasn't always a given in certain districts - which lacked permanent running water and stable electricity. You make the mistake of conflating things that go bad right now to capitalism as a whole - rather than unrelated issues that pervert any given economic system which happesn to be capitalism right now.
There was a really neat and terrifying easter egg in this game that utilised your computer's clock and your save game's name. When I was a kid, I used my actual name because me and my dad played on the same PC, and if it was past midnight on your computer's clock, a spooky voice would whisper the name you used for your save, assuming it was an actual name. They must have recorded a bunch like Bethesda did with the robot in Fallout 4.
A new Black and White game that pushes the boundaries of what this game could be would be great. Give it the Baldur's Gate 3 treatment and it'll no doubt sell very well. I find it highly unlikely to happen though.
I remember when me and my friend played this and I was like "But I keep turning evil and I don't understand why :( " and we tried to troubleshoot why, she asked me questions and eventually "You're not sacrificing people are you?" And I was like "NOT THAT MUCH, ONLY A LITTLE?! "

Alright. I was shook when I saw The Guide in your game as a bear. I've played multiple times since it came out and have always picked the cow as my creature, and have always had a sheep as The Guide. I had no idea his character model was determined by what creature you chose. My life has been meaningless until this point.
Fun thing about the Sailor quest, you can also give them additional villagers including a kid to bulk up their crew. They appear on the boat when it sails away and I 'think' it also increases the size of the village the Sailors setup for you on the final land.
"Oh no they're Welsh, they're welshman I should have known" *Gives them a sheep for a very long journey* Mickey, as a Welshie, I won't stand for this Irish slander. But thank ye for being the one who set off the first Welsh men to find Wales, eh?
Black & White, which i actually got on release back in the day, was an insanely fun time. I recall being wowed more by the physics and environmental effects (water, rainbows, grain flowing) than the actual graphics or resolution. The textures were to me okay for the time, about on par with age of mythology or morrowind (at the time, not with mods). The thing that made it horrible was the camera and movement. I remember the controls especially felt laggy and slippery. But once you got used to it, it was alright. The story really made it. However, I recall the 2nd act being lackluster compared to the first. I really loved the voice acting, choices, etc. I really was hoping it would be a village simulator where you just kind of do stuff in this pristine world. But yeah, never got past the 2nd act with the evil God battling me and stuff. Just kind of took the fun out of it. But that's all I remember from back in the early 2000s. Haven't had a chance to play it since, disk/box is somewhere in the basement.
I was so fucking hyped for this game back in the day! I remember making a calendar and crossing the days out for three months. Back then I thought Peter Moleneaux is the coolest person ever. Although it wasn’t anything like he promised, I had a ton of fun with it. Though being far from perfect it has something that most modern games sorely lack: character.
Something I find funny is that I used to be so sure that the Creature you met was always a Lion, but no it depends on the Creature you choose. Ape gets a brown bear, Cow gets a Sheep, and Tiger gets a Lion
@@avtist5639 You can actually unlock the bear and lion on later isle with silver scrolls and a bunch of others too iirc. This game had way more creatures (with actual stat differences unlike b&w2) than the second game
@@cherryrook8684 You can unlock the sheep on island 1 if I remember right. There's a side-quest to gather up a certain number of sheep, but if you keep going and bring every sheep on the island you get the creature.
@@beanface7408 I'd love to see the creatures and buildings he would come up with. Man, I miss Spore. I wish we could get a remaster, but like the original vision rather than the stripped bare one we got.
@@RepKyle95 Seeing what things he'd build would be nice. I feel like he'd come up with some cool stuff. And someone's making a spiritual successor to Spore called Elysian Eclipse. It looks more faithful to Spore than some of the others.
Literally crying watching you play and commentate this. It was equally hilarious when I played it as a teenager. The issues with crashing was a fairly regular thing back then and most computers could barely run it. I never did finish it - put it in the too hard basket lol thanks for bringing back a great memory!
Loved playing this game as a kid, but it’s really hard to stay as a “good” god. That was one of the biggest lessons in the game. The more villagers you have , the more they start blaming you for everything and then your temple and creature slowly start becoming evil. At a certain point you just give up on trying. You can tell your starting to become evil with the point arms of your temple foundation begin to curl upwards. Also, your creature will begin experimenting with eating villagers. And then, the more you punish your creature the more it becomes evil and therefore the more evil you become. It’s a inevitable.
The 3rd world is where I always ended up going evil. With your creature captured, it's difficult to convert villages outside your influence, so I had to throw rocks and fireballs. After that, the alignment damage is nearly impossible to undo. And I was using an exploit for infinite food and wood, so resources were never an issue.
god I love this game so much. urge to yell the missionary song at full volume rising. I have been replaying this like every six months for 20 years lol
I was just thinking about this game the other day. Eidle Eidle Eee is an earworm that will follow you to your grave. I lost my physical copy a decade ago. I can't find a digital copy for sale, so this is one of those times I am going to have to make an exception to my video game piracy rule.
If a giant Rick crushed my house, I wouldn't immediately think it was a vengeful god targeting me, but it would make me question my current lack of belief in any deities and I would probably try to worship something to protect me
damn my older brother hyped this shit up back in the day, we played it together a lot, or I mean I would watch him, and play when I could, I remember really loving it and wouldnt definitely play this again... I hate how games disappear forever
God of Inbreads, The Stone Foreskin, Choosen by Monkey, Great Village Stroker, Aztecs Sponsor whos Ball Has Been Eaten. Those are but a few names that we call him and we always pray for quality content he create
Also add that you could play multiplayer too. And your creature was also consistent throughout your entire profile so any skills, aging and training he would pick up during a skirmish game would carry over to the main game
I wish they added skirmish mode in BW2 & have the option of choosing your tribe, BW1 also had so many different tribes such as Greek, Egyptian, Aztec, Native American, Tibetan, Celtic, Norse.
they both had their things,i liked more the way that ur creature would learn in B&W rather than B&W2 for example, but B&W2 had way more buildings and i like more the way your influence expanded in 2, 2 had armies, wonders, roads and many more stuff... each one of them had their thin.... anyways, i miss this games
>get big pile of rocks >set rocks on fire >rocks normally go out quickly on their own but these won't because they feed off each other >throw rocks at enemy village >ai thinks you're throwing fire balls and never uses phsyical protection
The AI at the time was like the most advanced around. Still is as far as game AI's go. The second game was sadly EXTREMELY dumbed down and simplified. It didn't notice that it could eat people while you weren't looking and so when you were away being busy would sneak a villager or two with the only evidence being the mass panic from your villagers as your otherwise extremely kind creature decided to snag a quick snack. Just wasn't something the AI on the second game could do which was both a blessing since it was a far easier game to play, but also a curse since your creature could never develop any personality quirks or clever behavior
And here I found the song the sailors were singing... and just like one of the top comments says on the video... it will be stuck in my head for the next 20 years.
Wish B&W 1+2 got a remake and basegames expanded more. I loved these games as a kid, but I also remember them being quite short games with very few of worlds to play in. They haven't aged well in terms of graphics and voice-acting, but the concept and gameplay of these games are so unique, that I'm sure that remakes of these games would do quite well today. They could add custom world building and neat features like that, that would be great.
this game was a majority of my childhood, i got stuck at the end though and could never figure out what i was supposed to do then i accidentally reset my game also if you have your creature watch you perform miracles they will slowly learn those miracles eventually being able to cast them on their own

For a heavily watered down Black & White 2 kind of VR experience, there's Tethered. You do get a bit of the god sim feel, but it's actually an RTS rather than a god sim (since you "tether" your citizens to do things rather than being able to just move them yourself).
I'm suprised that fans haven't taken this on as a project and tried to restore/revamp it up to make it a bit more modern. That and no one's picked this franchise up and done anything with it in the first place..
This game is a true gem. I always liked more than the second one. I think I never passed this section, I just enjoyed messing around with the first village and had a ton of fun with it.

It’s unfortunate that Microsoft owns the rights to this game. I say that because it would be an amazing VR game and Microsoft seems to not want to delve into VR. I hope someone just rips the idea. I miss this game. Imagine petting and feeding your God pet or throwing villages across the map haha
I've been playing this it definitely doesn't look as good on my machine. The textures on the ground still look like shit though. I've given up on the final level. There are basically no trees and the other guy keeps wrecking my villages before I can get a foothold.
I've still got the CD and even the box for this game cuz I thought it looked kinda striking. It confused me as a kid, I never got too deep into it, probably because my PC sort of struggled to run it at the time. The one thing I really didn't care for was having to beat my animal just to get him to be nice―seems like some pretty fucked up "old school" parenting those Lionhead folks must've had. I guess even god is too stupid to find a better way to communicate their will without what's essentially child abuse? Even if it's taken as commentary on the nature of, I don't know, monolithic patriarichal authority, I just don't wanna hurt the cute cow

However, I recall the 2nd act being lackluster compared to the first. I really loved the voice acting, choices, etc. I really was hoping it would be a village simulator where you just kind of do stuff in this pristine world. But yeah, never got past the 2nd act with the evil God battling me and stuff. Just kind of took the fun out of it. But that's all I remember from back in the early 2000s. Haven't had a chance to play it since, disk/box is somewhere in the basement.
I was so fucking hyped for this game back in the day! I remember making a calendar and crossing the days out for three months. Back then I thought Peter Moleneaux is the coolest person ever. Although it wasn’t anything like he promised, I had a ton of fun with it. Though being far from perfect it has something that most modern games sorely lack: character.
Something I find funny is that I used to be so sure that the Creature you met was always a Lion, but no it depends on the Creature you choose. Ape gets a brown bear, Cow gets a Sheep, and Tiger gets a Lion
The sheep is nightmare fuel for sure
choose tiger - WTF, I WANT A LION
choose ape - WTF, I WANT A BEAR
choose cow - nah, I'm good
@@avtist5639 You can actually unlock the bear and lion on later isle with silver scrolls and a bunch of others too iirc. This game had way more creatures (with actual stat differences unlike b&w2) than the second game
@@cherryrook8684 You can unlock the sheep on island 1 if I remember right. There's a side-quest to gather up a certain number of sheep, but if you keep going and bring every sheep on the island you get the creature.
Micky you're always nice company when I'm at work you're like an old friend that speaks softly in my ear
The editing on this was so good kept me laughing the whole way through
That Arthur "Hey!" got me good. Thank you for that one, Micky D!
I would love to see you play Spore, MickyD. That would be great - Spore was a game I spent countless hours in.
Mickey playing Spore sounds great.
@@beanface7408 I'd love to see the creatures and buildings he would come up with. Man, I miss Spore. I wish we could get a remaster, but like the original vision rather than the stripped bare one we got.
@@RepKyle95 Seeing what things he'd build would be nice. I feel like he'd come up with some cool stuff. And someone's making a spiritual successor to Spore called Elysian Eclipse. It looks more faithful to Spore than some of the others.
That sailor song will be with you for the rest of your life.
This game ruined me as a child because it set a precedence that was never met again except maybe by its own sequel.
Literally crying watching you play and commentate this. It was equally hilarious when I played it as a teenager. The issues with crashing was a fairly regular thing back then and most computers could barely run it. I never did finish it - put it in the too hard basket lol thanks for bringing back a great memory!
Loved playing this game as a kid, but it’s really hard to stay as a “good” god. That was one of the biggest lessons in the game. The more villagers you have , the more they start blaming you for everything and then your temple and creature slowly start becoming evil. At a certain point you just give up on trying. You can tell your starting to become evil with the point arms of your temple foundation begin to curl upwards. Also, your creature will begin experimenting with eating villagers. And then, the more you punish your creature the more it becomes evil and therefore the more evil you become. It’s a inevitable.
I dunno about that
mine was happy dancing for villagers, pooping in the forests and casting water miracles on fields
The 3rd world is where I always ended up going evil. With your creature captured, it's difficult to convert villages outside your influence, so I had to throw rocks and fireballs. After that, the alignment damage is nearly impossible to undo.
And I was using an exploit for infinite food and wood, so resources were never an issue.
my cow would always turn evil and eat people, it made me so upset 😭
@@nicholasrandall3507 maybe you were just bad at the game :D
@@overgrownkudzu Certainly possible. I'll have to try it again at some point to see if I can do a good playthrough.
B.R.O. this was the first game i ever ordered from the scholastic catalog through my elementary school. CLASSIC
god I love this game so much. urge to yell the missionary song at full volume rising. I have been replaying this like every six months for 20 years lol
That song will stay with you for the rest of your life.
Every time THAT song starts, i swear i hear my dm's voice "you're taking 4d8 psychic damage, and roll a wisdom save"
I played this game so much as a kid. Hearing the voice lines and song for the first time in I don't even know how long made my day.
since your content is making my day be a evil fecker when people buy all sims dlc packs
That singing reminds me of The Bard's Tale.
I was just thinking about this game the other day. Eidle Eidle Eee is an earworm that will follow you to your grave. I lost my physical copy a decade ago. I can't find a digital copy for sale, so this is one of those times I am going to have to make an exception to my video game piracy rule.
My video game piracy rule is if they ain't selling it i ain't buying it
Honestly, it's hardly piracy when it's abandonware. If you literally can't buy it anywhere, I'd say you're justified.
@@plebisMaximus my thoughts exactly, where else am i going to get masakatsu funaki hybrid wrestler for the super famicom
@@GentlemansCombatives I buy physical games mainly to look at not even to play. Digital copies with patches/mods will always be better.
2022 resolution with 2002 textures is such a powerful aesthetic.
The church of Micky D got founded? It’s about time.
eidle eidle eee what a generous god is he.
Or something, we'll figure out the hymms later.
We can use the limeware platter as our holy symbol
That song now lives rent free in your head. Just like it does in mine :|
Also creature isle is hands down one of the best expansions to any game I’ve ever played, creature fight club was amazing.
If a giant Rick crushed my house, I wouldn't immediately think it was a vengeful god targeting me, but it would make me question my current lack of belief in any deities and I would probably try to worship something to protect me
damn my older brother hyped this shit up back in the day, we played it together a lot, or I mean I would watch him, and play when I could, I remember really loving it and wouldnt definitely play this again... I hate how games disappear forever
God of Inbreads, The Stone Foreskin, Choosen by Monkey, Great Village Stroker, Aztecs Sponsor whos Ball Has Been Eaten. Those are but a few names that we call him and we always pray for quality content he create
B&W 1 is better than 2 IMO. The skirmish mode or whatever it's called where you battle other gods without a storyline is great as well.
Also add that you could play multiplayer too. And your creature was also consistent throughout your entire profile so any skills, aging and training he would pick up during a skirmish game would carry over to the main game
I wish they added skirmish mode in BW2 & have the option of choosing your tribe, BW1 also had so many different tribes such as Greek, Egyptian, Aztec, Native American, Tibetan, Celtic, Norse.
they both had their things,i liked more the way that ur creature would learn in B&W rather than B&W2 for example, but B&W2 had way more buildings and i like more the way your influence expanded in 2, 2 had armies, wonders, roads and many more stuff... each one of them had their thin.... anyways, i miss this games
"I'm a big floating hand that's giving them wood."
Morning after a party micky d hits the spot
This is the first of yours videos I've seen but you have made cry from laughter! :D
And I really needed that laugh, Thank you!
this game was my childhood, hell yes
THANKYOU FOR PLAYING THIS!!! FUCK I LOVED THIS GAME AS A KID!
Damn. The fifth generation of Pokémon looks much better than I remember.
>get big pile of rocks
>set rocks on fire
>rocks normally go out quickly on their own but these won't because they feed off each other
>throw rocks at enemy village
>ai thinks you're throwing fire balls and never uses phsyical protection
Good ol' pro strats lol.
The AI at the time was like the most advanced around. Still is as far as game AI's go. The second game was sadly EXTREMELY dumbed down and simplified. It didn't notice that it could eat people while you weren't looking and so when you were away being busy would sneak a villager or two with the only evidence being the mass panic from your villagers as your otherwise extremely kind creature decided to snag a quick snack. Just wasn't something the AI on the second game could do which was both a blessing since it was a far easier game to play, but also a curse since your creature could never develop any personality quirks or clever behavior
And here I found the song the sailors were singing... and just like one of the top comments says on the video... it will be stuck in my head for the next 20 years.
I want a shirt/sticker that says "God loves his rock" SO BAD KLJGDLFGDSF
Debating making it
@@MickyD Sell it alongside a nice "I don't like God ( Number One Catholic Channel 🇮🇪 )" shirt
Creche is also the Dutch word for daycare, never knew it had the same meaning in Irish
Wish B&W 1+2 got a remake and basegames expanded more. I loved these games as a kid, but I also remember them being quite short games with very few of worlds to play in. They haven't aged well in terms of graphics and voice-acting, but the concept and gameplay of these games are so unique, that I'm sure that remakes of these games would do quite well today. They could add custom world building and neat features like that, that would be great.
When I was a kid I taught my pet to eat poop. That was a game winner for me.
this game was a majority of my childhood, i got stuck at the end though and could never figure out what i was supposed to do then i accidentally reset my game
also if you have your creature watch you perform miracles they will slowly learn those miracles eventually being able to cast them on their own
This is one of the best games, played that alot when i was kid
I loved this game as a kid but always got stuck on the third island and none of my friends ever heard of it

Me (sipping Scotch): It's about time.
Video: "It's about time", says mentally stable fan.
Me (spits out Scotch): .....
By the way, the game did not allow to skip tutorial until some later patch. Starting a new game was torture :)
21:24 dude I freaking lost it right here at the slapping sound effects, it sounds like you're beating the sh out of him lmao
I want to see more of this and of you playing LOTRO, since i loved that video you made on it, and Majesty 2. The most populated server in lotro is Arkenstone BTW.
the humour in this vid was decisively more unhinged... and im absolutely here for it
Miss this game so much!
I immediately thought you ment Pokemon Black and White on the DS but then when I see the Thumbnail and I'm like:"That's a troll not a Pokemon."
I really hope to see something like Black & White being made as a seated VR game one day. It would work so well!
For a heavily watered down Black & White 2 kind of VR experience, there's Tethered. You do get a bit of the god sim feel, but it's actually an RTS rather than a god sim (since you "tether" your citizens to do things rather than being able to just move them yourself).
the song the sailors are singing has been stuck in my head for over 20 years
So many memories
I'm suprised that fans haven't taken this on as a project and tried to restore/revamp it up to make it a bit more modern. That and no one's picked this franchise up and done anything with it in the first place..
This game is a true gem. I always liked more than the second one. I think I never passed this section, I just enjoyed messing around with the first village and had a ton of fun with it.
it took me a second to get that inbetweeners joke lol, she really did sound like the credits women xd
God hears you MickyD God bless you MickyD and God speed thank you for the videos always funny :) And did you do naruto sad theme on God dying xD Sad, so sad xD Hah you did the Bill Hicks "Trickster God" laugh :D if you have not heard it it is Bill Hicks joking about God hiding Dinosaur bones :D
I still remember the words to the "we've run out of wood" boat guys song after all these years.
"Oh no, it's the Protestants again"
I'll guarantee you I will rewatch this for 6 times more.

It’s unfortunate that Microsoft owns the rights to this game. I say that because it would be an amazing VR game and Microsoft seems to not want to delve into VR. I hope someone just rips the idea. I miss this game. Imagine petting and feeding your God pet or throwing villages across the map haha
oh definitely should happen. Needs lionhead though
This still remains my favourite game of all time. Thanks mr.D
You gotta check out Kenshi! Similar in a few ways, amazing, and full of potential memes! Greatest sandbox rpg ever made
Haven’t even watched full video yet but gets a like solely for the nostalgia factor of knowing someone else recalls this game
I've been playing this it definitely doesn't look as good on my machine. The textures on the ground still look like shit though.
I've given up on the final level. There are basically no trees and the other guy keeps wrecking my villages before I can get a foothold.
The editing had me hella giggling >< glad you got recommended to me :D
Edit: omg yes please play Fable!
I've still got the CD and even the box for this game cuz I thought it looked kinda striking. It confused me as a kid, I never got too deep into it, probably because my PC sort of struggled to run it at the time. The one thing I really didn't care for was having to beat my animal just to get him to be nice―seems like some pretty fucked up "old school" parenting those Lionhead folks must've had. I guess even god is too stupid to find a better way to communicate their will without what's essentially child abuse? Even if it's taken as commentary on the nature of, I don't know, monolithic patriarichal authority, I just don't wanna hurt the cute cow
Absolutely love this blast from the past! Would love to see more of this!
