Hello everyone. This video was edited by one of my new editors named Ashley, and she's done a couple other things over the last month or so, but I wanted to formally give her credit because I think she does a great job balancing the minimal editing I usually do with just the right amount of sparkly accoutrement. Please say hello.
hello ashley! let her know i love her editing; i think it's really charming and fitting for your videos. and, as always: excellent video, excellent song
I love this recorded interaction of two people saying nice things to each other 2 years ago, and a handful of people approving both. What a polite, in a good way, space to be
The reason why Gnasty's world doesn't have a flag was because it was actually a junk yard that Gnasty was banished to, which he then turned into his own world, thus the lack of flag.
Where was that said!? It'd be a cool interpretation even if it wasn't canon but I have no recollection of this idea being communicated anywhere in the games.
This is my favourite game and I absolutely spent countless hours looking at stuff like yellow assholes and mama's soup but the flags were very new to me! thank you for showing me this, I want them all hanging in my room.
I adore this game and its aesthetics. Did you know that the waterfall in Dream Weaver's homeworld flows upward? Very trippy to look at! There is also a small patch of water in Dark Passage that Spyro can walk on without getting harmed in the US release of the game. This game has all kinds of little gems to be found! Thank you for uploading ;)
To make a suggestion, this one is a little more obvious, but since so many people miss it entirely (including the Reignited devs), the sun in Haunted Towers is below your feet. If you stand on the long bridge and look over the edge, you'll see it below you. Gives the world a sense of really being disconnected and "floating", and is also why the color pallet of the sky is inversed (sunset below and stars above, with the underside of buildings and platforms being illuminated). Would have loved if the HD remake had somehow given the level bizzare lighting to accommodate that detail, but alas.
I love these, everyone talks about the big bombastic moments, but it's nice to see someone stop and appreciate the little moments you get when you just EXIST in a game! Keep em coming! please and thank you
This is wild, I loved looking at the soup when I was a kid as well, I think cuz I always expected it to be like a dark orange or cream colour, something about the hot pink seemed very jarring and intriguing to me. In any case this video is another banger Austin, I'd love more Spyro videos if you wanted to make them :D
I've always noticed their arses in Peacekeepers Homeworld & thought it was very humourous. In the level Cliff Town there is a waterfall (& when i was younger) i'd fly into it thinking the "other" treasure would be found there .... i would just end up dying every damn time. Soup reminds me of pomegranate. Also great job to Ashley the editor👍
My only complaint is that I wish the video was longer! xD I could literally spend hours just looking at odd little details in games like Spyro, love this content
Have you ever looked at the stuff in MegaMan Legends (or MegaMan 64)? There are a lot of odd spaces, little corners of the town and island that feel both real and unreal. Highly recommend observing.
I almost completely beat Spyro enter the dragonfly, I left out beating the game because I loved to explore the world's within the game and spend hours just running, jumping, gliding anywhere I could and enjoying the setting around me, it shaped me into the games I enjoy today
Was literally just thinking of when you'd do more :0. Ps1 games definitely hit a vibe kinda like n64 so would be down for more. I did amateurishly do one for Search for Reptar lol.
I love how you pronounce Gnasty Gnork. I was cracking up in high-pitched laughter each time you said his name; I can just hear the 'I dont give a shit, I'm saying it it how it looks in writing' attitude in your voice.
Good stuff. I think the parts where you stop and examine the enemies/npcs are the strongest entertainment-wise. The unemployment vid was one my favorites for that reason I think.
Probably my favourite TH-cam channel since the birth of TH-cam, I've been interested in this aspect of games since I was a child playing Tomb Raider (so many areas in those games).
you know me ive been around i am a big fan i mean no harm i only hold good opinions and have exquisite taste and i whole heartedly want your channel to grow and i give you money and thats why i have to say this, austin. Splatoon 2 Octo Expansion.
Throwing my vote in for Quest 64. That whole game is pretty unremarkable, but has a LOT of very comfy vibes, interesting textures, and weird, unremarkable places. Hope it was a part of your childhood too, personally, it has a weird comforting place in my heart.
Can't believe I hadn't seen your videos before; you have an awesome catalogue I've been crushing through for the past two weeks. Super happy to see the new vid, keep it up!
Stewart Copeland, Drummer of The Police wrote the soundtracks for the first three Spyro games. He also wrote the music for The Amanda show and Goodburger.
The flags for each nation were interesting to see, though I most enjoy these videos when you're passionate about something small and completely inconsequential. The soup hit that for me. Love the series so far, it's very cozy. Great work!
man i really hope you blow up soon you deserve so many more views i love this type of content. it’s like you go outta your way to find the backrooms in video games and i’ve literally always wanted a channel like yours to exist so please don’t stop this shit is great man.
Things you never stepped on: The incorrectly textured bit of floor in one of the Dark Passage level next to a staircase, made to look just like the acid pools in the same level. It's been fixed (sadly) in the remake, and now properly looks like a floor.
The soup reminded me of how I loved trying to climb into the pots in the kitchen on Banjo-Kazooie on Rusty Bucket Bay.. now THAT game has some unusual places!
I found your channel about a month ago and I have completely binged all of your content. When I saw a new video I could wait to watch. I was not disappointed. Keep it up buddy.
Hey i liked your video, the deadpan voice you have constantly is genuinely enamouring, the way you talk about spyro while sounding like you want to die makes the whole video very very entertaining. Also i am in love w you
i've never looked at anything in spyro becuz i played it using a series of mirrors, all perfectly lined up to bounce the image off of the next, so as to not make eye contact. i thought everyone did this as a kid. guess i was a goofball lol
I knew these all except for the flags. That's a neat touch. but something that I thought was interesting as a kid was the fiery abyss looking bottom at the Jacques battle.
Theres something about the low poly faces with their static dumbass expressions that sent me as a kid. Specifically in Spyro 2. The enemies immediately forgetting everything youve done to help them and devolving to murder and torture all while donning these dumbass expressions was hilarious.
I'm old, so yeah, I grew up on the original 3 on PSX. I think my mom still has the discs at her house somewhere. My sister and I played them a lot and, much like you, liked taking notice of the little details. We were always fascinated by the soup. I miss the old graphics, even though the remakes look really good.
I was also very facinated by the soup, I'm very happy someone else understands that. I spent way too much time staring at it just hoping I could experience that flavor.
Hi Austin, have you ever thought of doing videos on fighting game backgrounds like Street Fighter, Tekken, or Virtua Fighter? These games always have such interesting backgrounds with all kinds of strange little details, and some gorgeous skyboxes to boot (Rooftop in tekken 4, there’s a surreal atmospheric track called Authentic Sky that is essentially the musical equivalent of a liminal space)
When I was a kid, I would hold square and watch the ripples on the boundary line in Stone Hill. My mother, who also played the game, found this extremely annoying. Bless her
I remember as a kid there was a random PS2 game I would always stop and stare at things in the environments just like you with the Soup. The game was RC Revenge Pro and there was a pirate ship I would always try to explore further than intended, off in the distance from the ship there was a whale that I thought was cute and always tried to get to by following a rock path that only had collision out to a certain distance but of course I didn't understand that as a kid. Other maps had monsters that I always would stop and look at, trying to get a better view of them, there was a scarecrow that would giggle in the middle of a corn maze. I could never win races to be able to unlock new maps so the starting maps are the only ones I ever looked at.
Great video, Austin! Love Spyro, love this series. I encourage you to make some more Never Looked At videos on the Spyro series some time down the line; there's a lot of little places I would spend time looking at (like the one orb platform in Summer Forest in Spyro 2) and think they could be some good content. I look forward to more videos!

Nice job Ashley!
Ashley you do fantastic work
hello
What a personal hell he lives in.
He's got the aura of a watermelon.
"hes a real fruity guy"
I'd love to see you do Ripto's Rage and Year of the Dragon too.
Definitely! Please do!
YES
Same. I would also enjoy his perspective as a guy who's relatively new to those games.
I've always wanted a channel like yours to exist and I'm glad it finally does. The cozy little this in games are so much fun to pay attention to
they're some of my faves :)
his channel has existed for a long time check out his older videos like eggbusters
this mf been making videos for a long time. his old videos are great too! u should check em out! very comforting dude
His old videos up to his present ones are all bangers… Austin goes wayyy back lol
Poor grammar.
I've never even played Spyro before and found these interesting and entertaining...also tell Ashley she did a great job editing please 👍
appreciate you saying both of these things
I love this recorded interaction of two people saying nice things to each other 2 years ago, and a handful of people approving both. What a polite, in a good way, space to be

The guy who made this soundtrack IS really cool, he's the drummer from The Police, Stewart Copeland.

You should do a skybox for Spyro. From what I remember they are awesome. I used to just look up at the stars on Dark Hollow and listen to the music.
This is wild, I loved looking at the soup when I was a kid as well, I think cuz I always expected it to be like a dark orange or cream colour, something about the hot pink seemed very jarring and intriguing to me.
In any case this video is another banger Austin, I'd love more Spyro videos if you wanted to make them :D
Got me recollecting many good memories of zoning out on the tv as a kid.Thank you.
I should probably do the dishes now
I've always noticed their arses in Peacekeepers Homeworld & thought it was very humourous.

Agreed! This game is chock full of surreal looking stuff!
ohh, we need a Mega man legends episode
Also bruh, Peace Keeper's track is undeniably silly at first, but when the bass comes in? *chefs kiss*
Nifty idea friend, music's got OkGo vibes, also it would be cool to see some new and interesting things in Ape Escape
I almost completely beat Spyro enter the dragonfly, I left out beating the game because I loved to explore the world's within the game and spend hours just running, jumping, gliding anywhere I could and enjoying the setting around me, it shaped me into the games I enjoy today

The soup reminds me of grapefruit texture. I like this video series.
I saved this video to look forward to on weekend once the work week was ended and it made it even more enjoyable. Love ur content bro
Didn't know about the flags, but to be fair you have to go out of your way to smell the roses to see them.
This song really spoke to me on a fundamental level. A real “play it to myself in the mirror” kind of bop.
i always loved the soup texture, it looks like a sunset.
Good stuff. I think the parts where you stop and examine the enemies/npcs are the strongest entertainment-wise. The unemployment vid was one my favorites for that reason I think.
Came out while I'm at work, but I've been waiting for this! So hyped to watch it tonight. Spyro was my fav series as a kid and now.
This video made me very happy. I love your unique style and ideas!
This channel is my favorite on TH-cam rn. Thank you Austin and Ashley for these videos.
"There are no roses in spyro the dragon" fast forward to 2:42
Probably my favourite TH-cam channel since the birth of TH-cam, I've been interested in this aspect of games since I was a child playing Tomb Raider (so many areas in those games).

Splatoon 2 Octo Expansion.
come on, be a pushover fr
comfort channel
the satisfaction as you bomped the little green guy 😭

Let me just say again how much I appreciate this series. Great job Austin :)
This is the best time I've ever had doing things for the first time
Can't believe I hadn't seen your videos before; you have an awesome catalogue I've been crushing through for the past two weeks. Super happy to see the new vid, keep it up!
Ayee great video man as usual, always such a treat seeing a new upload
That “come” right after saying there were plenty of things to stop and smell had to have been deliberate
Really enjoying Austins ramblings at the end of the video
Stewart Copeland, Drummer of The Police wrote the soundtracks for the first three Spyro games. He also wrote the music for The Amanda show and Goodburger.
This video is very revolutionary, and I it made my eyeballs fly out my head. Ty austin💜
the video was nice and then your music was nice and then the bloopers were nice. good video :)
I love dis. Ty for making this video. Some of the most og content on TH-cam rn to me.
Commenting on a 2 year old video to say 'Wow, someone else has looked at all of the things that I also looked at!'
Holy shit I went so far back he doesn't have clips on his head and his hair is floof.
The flags for each nation were interesting to see, though I most enjoy these videos when you're passionate about something small and completely inconsequential. The soup hit that for me. Love the series so far, it's very cozy. Great work!
This is my favorite channel on TH-cam, need more videos! Love them!
Living for more Spyro content from you, I know Spyro very in depth but the flags weren’t something I ever noticed!
Loving the videos Austin! Keep them rolling!
1:15 Spyro's comedic timing is flawless.
man i really hope you blow up soon you deserve so many more views i love this type of content. it’s like you go outta your way to find the backrooms in video games and i’ve literally always wanted a channel like yours to exist so please don’t stop this shit is great man.
Dude this game was so much fun but I remember deeply examining all the weird secret spots in the hub worlds of Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage
Things you never stepped on: The incorrectly textured bit of floor in one of the Dark Passage level next to a staircase, made to look just like the acid pools in the same level. It's been fixed (sadly) in the remake, and now properly looks like a floor.
Oddly enough, as a young child, for some reason I was fascinated with the boiling soup sounds at the inn in Majora's mask. Not sure why.
The soup reminded me of how I loved trying to climb into the pots in the kitchen on Banjo-Kazooie on Rusty Bucket Bay.. now THAT game has some unusual places!
I live Spyo so much! The original trilogy are some of my favorite games on the ps1
Okay you know what? This is one of the best videos on TH-cam. Thank you.
I like this. Please make more of it. I am glad this was informative to your aesthetic sensibilities. Hello Ashley.
rewatched just now and wtf the song at the end goes way harder than i remembered
love that you made a vid about spyro
I love learning new game stuff from Josh Fadem. This channel is great.
Have never clicked on a video so quickly, I love these and Spyro has to be one of my absolute favorite games!
The SOUP. I loved looking at the soup and trying to jump into the soup.
I have never looked at any of these and i've played Spyro so much!
The level of which this channel speaks to me of the things I enjoy is a height I never thought I'd find from another human being.
Your music is gd awesome..it was on repeat all day at work..tomorrow 2..eye think eye love it
I really enjoyed this video! The new editor did a great job. Your vids are really addicting and I love everything you've made so far.
Ive noticed the Gnorcs mooning in Peace Keepers which I found hilarious and torch their Rear ends And mentally laugh.
I found your channel about a month ago and I have completely binged all of your content. When I saw a new video I could wait to watch. I was not disappointed. Keep it up buddy.
i am terrible at video games so i spent a lot of time looking at stuff. i always loved the stew in world of warcraft
Im glad you started with that example 🙏
Yo, that end song was a bop!
Great video as usual, so good job to both Austin and Ashley
love these austin! that lady's soup awakened slumbering parts of my brain
The soup at the end reminds me of the witch's potion cauldrons in Majora's Mask.
Hey i liked your video, the deadpan voice you have constantly is genuinely enamouring, the way you talk about spyro while sounding like you want to die makes the whole video very very entertaining. Also i am in love w you
1:27 onwards that segment kiiiiilled me
This has been THE game I've been waiting for
nice.
Spyro always give me a comfy feeling, shame i never played much of it because i never had a Playstation
These games have killerrrr skyboxes, would be great for the skybox appreciation series!
I knew about the soup and the mooning, but the flags were a genuinely new thing to me!
i've never looked at anything in spyro becuz i played it using a series of mirrors, all perfectly lined up to bounce the image off of the next, so as to not make eye contact.
i thought everyone did this as a kid. guess i was a goofball lol
What a throw back! Always loved this game as a kid. So good!
I knew these all except for the flags. That's a neat touch. but something that I thought was interesting as a kid was the fiery abyss looking bottom at the Jacques battle.
Love little game corners its like a liminal space or something idk. Great video
Didn't know about the magic crafters and beast makers flags! Loved the video!
i've always liked the soup. never noticed the flags tho, even in reignited. pretty cool stuff
I can perfectly recall just how much I tried landing in the big women's soups; figured there had to be a perfect sweetspot
Theres something about the low poly faces with their static dumbass expressions that sent me as a kid.
Specifically in Spyro 2. The enemies immediately forgetting everything youve done to help them and devolving to murder and torture all while donning these dumbass expressions was hilarious.

good job Ashley I didn't hear the word hole once, thanks from a trypophobe
I was also very facinated by the soup, I'm very happy someone else understands that. I spent way too much time staring at it just hoping I could experience that flavor.
Mooning as a form of mockery was very common during the 90s and the early 2000s
