Are you really just going to forget the Chronicles of Gerald Williams? Ghoul-slayer, former tax-payer, ice-walker, hash-slinging, worm-eater, depression-haver, tree-chopping Gerald Williams
@Jonathan Spier I think most people would consider the Iliad much dryer, more repetitive, and largely more boring that the Aeneid... I think you're forgetting how many fucking lists of names and supplies are actually in the Iliad, it's basically the time-killer a Homeric storyteller would use to set up the Odyssey xD ... the exciting parts of the Iliad are like, less than a tenth of the actual epic. That being said, it is still a magnificent story about love, loss, and pride (I believe the entire point of the poem is the conversation between Achilles and Priam at the end, with Priam begging for Hector's body... Lindybeige actually has a great video about it); The Aeneid on the other hand is basically a political blowjob that Virgil himself wanted burned on his deathbed because he hadn't finished it and he thought it was trash, so ultimately, opinions be opinions yo haha (also I didn't want to pick two Homerics in the list... I had thought about saying Gilgamesh instead of the Aeneid, but Gilgamesh is also like, 90% filler and 10% memorable parts)
imagine being a shop owner minding your business, sometimes you see some shady characters coming in and out of youre bar but its usually just civilians, more often than not people you know, until one day you just see 14 Bionicles with crippling back pain preventing them from standing up straight walk into a corner for five minutes and then disappear with all your computer parts
I thought you stole a good chunk of your comment from a comment that was posted on the first episode, but then I went back and realised you wrote that comment as well.
See to me, it’s a squad made up of Torsolo’s...shall we say, acolytes, from the original series. They must become like their creator-who is presently off Akira-ing in the southern coast, like some kind of Torthulu-esque eldritch abomination.
Torsquad leader's gonna make the ultimate sacrifice come the end of the playthrough. It's the only way to fulfill the arc of such a selfless individual
4:41 I see that we've had the honour to meet with Orange's Great Ancestors where the land was once fertile, warm, and welcoming. And it pleases me to know that as the years and epochs went by and the land lost its golden touch and the wind got bitter and colder, their cannibal- I mean friendship still retained its vigour.
I believe the settlement should be named "Torsolot" fittingly named after the Legendary Torsolo; who gave hope and will to all the torsos across the land.
Torsolo was a pioneer, an inspiration. Only a being of pure will and sheer determination could complete such a journey. These brave men now follow his bold example, shedding the apparent weakness of their bodies to transcend to levels seen only once before. While these persistent souls will encounter much hardship, the spirit of Torsolo lives on in each and every one. godspeed torsquad, I salute you all
literally just got home at 2am from drinking with some fiends to get on youtube and see a second kenshi video. Could not be a better end to this night!
At this point, I feel obligated to support you. Really you are one of a kind. On behalf of everyone that watches your videos, thank you. I believe for many, your work has not just been a meme, but a bastion for positivity where people can just come and feel good. Thanks man, you're a G
It’s like Christmas every time I get a notification for a video. I thank you for 17 minutes and 20 seconds of pure unadulterated joy and entertainment.
I'll post this as a top level reply too, just in case: I was gonna suggest renaming Beep to Torpedo, in honor of his new speed, but then I realized how unfortunate that name is if you remove the 'tor' in front of it.
this really is a natural continuation of the whole "abstain from the pleasures of the flesh" thing, where they just hack off the flesh so you can't engage in the pleasures of it.
I watched all of the Tosolo videos within 2 days and now I'm hooked- I can't wait to see where the Torsquad goes next, as well as how ambiguousamphibian narrates/edits the next episode!
Welcome to the Kenshi stealth experience. Admittedly, training thievery to steal from boxes without being caught is a bit of a pain. But I found out recently, you can just drop stuff on the floor that you've stolen before (hey, that kinda rhymes?) around people inside their property, and it'll train thievery for you.
If 2020 ever comes about again, perhaps even stronger, I would like to survive the ordeals with this man as our prophet. THIS MAN IS OUR HOPE, OUR GUIDE, OUR SALVATION.
I'm so thankful this is what you use your writing capabilities on. Man, you took this to a whole new and gruesome level. I always wondered what the appeal was for this game. _This_ is what the appeal is.

Before I even watch this video I just want to say thanks for uploading it this late. I've been down lately and haven't been sleeping well. Your videos always seem to cheer me up. Stay golden.
For some reason, the opening to this episode gets the shit out of me every time. I've replayed it about a thousand times and I can't stop laughing when they all just flop over as you're reciting the Odyssey
Torlando? Tortuga? Tortopia? Toledo? Toronto? Torth Korea? What would be a fitting name for this settlement?
Toronto
Hello there comrade!
Torusalem was really good.

Tortuga

Ever since Torsolo has achieved eldritch godhood, it was a matter of time before mere mortals would gaze upon him in wonder and try to emulate him.

Considering the mythological references in your prose, something like Torusalem or Tortlantis seems apt.
Another absolute banger from the big cheese himself!
Fearsome goats, when? When will the goat army raise? For their hunger of the flesh is vast, and it grows!
I don't comment often, however I am more than happy to see this series come back with such a vigor resurgance.

Such a beautiful quote from the great book, "the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."
'The enmity of goats is earned by the wicked they say' I'm going to start saying that in real life
Dammit amphibian why is your poetic writing such perfection to not fall asleep to? It’s too good.
Love your presentation style on these! I think of it as educated comedy lmao. Some of your best videos so far! Keep it up ☺️
Thanks! Happy you enjoy :)
"the enmity of goats is earned by the wicked" - once such great words were said

The best thing about this is that they all act like a single organism lol.
Your philosophical inquiries into the willpower of a torso is very fascinating, I must share this.
Pretty sure the peeling machine can remove limbs much easier than feeding people to the Fogmen, and there’s a mod to have it unlocked by default
this is written so stupidly well its clear you put a shitload of time into these videos. they are great!
Thank you!
Torstealth has achieved 99 Thieving.
Go get him his 99 cape.
Man went from, kinda entertaining but basic video game challenge man to poet, story teller and possibly the most relaxing voice.
YES IT HAS ARRIVED!!!
my verbal laughter at 1:27, shows that your commentary plus watching the characters walking in... you're a genius, sir.
as the late torsolo said "yeet them non-gamers."
What a LAD
Amazing work as always, whenever you make a new Kenshi series I always go and put a few(hundred) hours into it. 10/10 stuff
I recommend using a Surgical Limb removal mod to remove their limbs more efficiently and "safely"
but that's not as fun
@@mr.tittle1949 Fogmen chewing their limbs is good for the soul ! The suffering purifies !
