27:48 the "pepsi-verse" refers to a document from some designer hired by PepsiCo to redesign their logo while some of it is less bizarre to someone who learned about media/graphic design (like me), there are still parts of the whole thing that make you ask "what the hell was this guy smoking?"
17:21 According to an ex-developer in Mandalore's comment section on this video... _This game was absolutely supposed to have 3d_ but they had to settle for 2d because of a variety of reasons, this game is basically half of what the developers wanted to do.
I will say, this concept of "feasting" upon the wrecks of your enemies is an awesome concept especially with how you can "enhance" your ships, it leads to a case where that you do not want ot be too overpowered.
If I could capture the energy that the volatile cocktail of hallucinogens and barbiturates the devs were definitely on gave them in a jar, I could probably power the universe. Nothing else could have resulted in THIS product being made, greenlit, and shipped.
Peter F Hamilton's Night's Dawn series of Novels also had living developed by one group. They could go 5 times faster than the metal ships, and could nullify g forces with their faster than light travel organs, but had to be attached to the captain as a fetus, and raised for 30 years like an elephant before they could do anything. You could make a new metal ship in 6 months.
I will say that I never expected you to take a small detour into 'Genesis Rising' before watching 'Homeworld 3', but now, I fully understand, since Mandalore makes direct reference to this in, one way or another, but the main thing to keep in mind, Genesis Rising reminded him alot of Homeworld, while Homeworld 3, reminded him alot of Genesis Rising...nothing more, just going to let that sink in Also that part with the Book you guessed was from Oblivion, was really from a previous review he did for 'Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders', an RTS/Hack & Slash
35:01 Dude, that whole rant is exactly how I felt about Mortal Kombat 1. While I don’t hate that game and I find several parts of it to be very good and interesting, I don’t think it was a worthy trade off to reset that particular timeline for a second time.
6:40 ha! You asked, so i shall answer. What you saw there is also a Review Mandalore made. It is not an Elder Scrolls game. Watch his review for "Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders". It's great with all its cheese and i sure hope you like Heavy Metal. Its all you're gonna get.
I know you said a while ago that you would look at some stellaris videos. Would highly recommend some of anti kleapers videos on them just to see how insane and monstrous you can be. We always tell ourselves at the beginning of every new play through that we will be good guys this time and then we end up enslaving the most adorable species in the galaxy because it’s funny. Edit: by the way love your videos.
41:41 For clarification, and in case you didn't know, the Book of Job was when God basically gave Satan a free pass to fuck with one guy because God knew Job had so much faith that even with everything crashing down around him he'd still stay true to God and at the end of his ordeal God gave back everything 7 fold. It can also be described as Satan exercising Pettiness against a single man.
and god letting him because he himself had faith in his follower who was rewarded in the end for his suffering which I dunno if that makes both parties petty cause I get it god believed in him but still right?
8:14 There is a tabletop RPG that touches on the concept really well I feel, HV SVNT DRACONES Set in a sci-fy cyberpunk setting where earth got turned into an elderich hell exclusion zone by weird bio-quantum technology shit going out of control and corporations all but rule the remainder of the system, mostly centered on mars. One of the corporations is entirely focused on biotech, from organic body modification to full on living battlesuits/armor and organic ships Another company focuses on that + quantum reality and mind breaking tech, leading to some gruesome horror takes on this. (hint: your living armor might be cool and come with a lot of upsides... but if it gets too hurt and hungry... it might just start to eat you to preserve itself) the caveat (for some people) is that its a furry focused setting Humanity is long dead( or is it?), all that remains are the genetic mutant freaks the corpos made in the past, continuing on from where humanity left off. Well, except owls Last time a corp tried to make an owl... it did not end well for anyone involved.
2:17 So you've never watched Farscape or Lexx then? Farscape is a TV series that follows the adventures of John Crichton, an astronaut who is transported through a wormhole to a distant part of the universe. There, he finds himself on a living spaceship called Moya, which is being used by a group of fugitives to escape from the Peacekeepers, a militaristic race. It had four seasons and two mini series. Lexx by contrast is a black comedy following a lowly security guard, a 'love' slave, an undead former assassin and a horndog robotic head as they traverse the two universes. All in a bid to escape their horrible fates. Since they're joyriding an intergalactic warlords most destructive superweapon, the Lexx. This oddly also got four seasons technically. Season one are these four TV movies. Then normal seasons came after.
Farscape was a scifi show with Jim Henson Muppets for aliens, and living ships. A human from Florida gets stuck on one as the only human crew member, until Claudia Black shows up as the alien femme fatale.
49:11 The Book series was so good and is what personally got me into biological ships/tech in sci-fi, even the mechs/walkers for the Central powers are extremely cool both in consept and design. Well there are at least some games that have similar mech tech, sadly bioships only have this game or ships like the tyranids in warhammer.
This game has a ton of cool concepts you dont see anywhere else. Ive actually incorporated some of it into a setting of my own ive been working on. Mostly the homonculi ships and sentient rocks... though the sentient rocks in my setting are an alien race worshipped as an unknowable fragment of the gods who are used as essentially supercomputers by a particularly zealous splinter of humanity. Yes they are an entire cult of crystal girlies who believe in worldlines and mystical frequencies and it only works because they unknowingly make it happen with the weird aliens they revere but cant understand.
I mean, thing with AI tools is that AI creates most generic "appropriate" answer. It is MEANT to not be imaginative, fresh, inspiring or surprise you. Its meant to give you most bland bread you can think of when you ask it to give you bread. With editors, some personality or errors of the human doing the work is likely going to slip through, the AI just does what its database thinks "edited video" looks like. (this is me trying to explain that weird uncanny valley feeling with ai creations. Its the combination of "weird errors that are hard to spot without being professional" and "something being utterly generic in way that is hard to explain")
*Smoothie time forever* Also another good time travel series is Legacy of Kain. Basically, time is almost entirely immutable, except for paradoxes. And paradoxes are a huge part of the series. All in a dark fantasy vampire series, lol
27:48 the "pepsi-verse" refers to a document from some designer hired by PepsiCo to redesign their logo
while some of it is less bizarre to someone who learned about media/graphic design (like me), there are still parts of the whole thing that make you ask "what the hell was this guy smoking?"
The document is the result of someone required to hit a long word count but it was for a logo so they had to “extend the word count” as you say.
3:20 - "Mom, can we have the Imperium of Man?"
"We have the Imperium of Man at home."
_The Imperium of Man at home_

I hope when an assassin comes after me, they have the same enthusiasm as the "Time to die" voice line.

It's the balkans. Chances are it was just moonshine made by their grandpa in his shed, using industrial chemicals that render you blind for a week
There's a developer in the comments who goes into the process behind developing this game and what was cut and whatnot and it's insane.
The part when he talk about the heart and show a book turn a page is came from his review of kingdom under fire ( is very fun to watch)
I genuinely would love more stuff from this games universe. ESPECIALLY with all the weirdness included.

"beefing on a personal level with god" will never not be funny to me
49:13 There's an anime of this series in the works to be released in 2025.

48:55 Ultrakill spotted.
Oh my god it’s true, you finally got to this. I can’t believe it holy hell
8:14 There is a tabletop RPG that touches on the concept really well I feel, HV SVNT DRACONES
Set in a sci-fy cyberpunk setting where earth got turned into an elderich hell exclusion zone by weird bio-quantum technology shit going out of control and corporations all but rule the remainder of the system, mostly centered on mars.
One of the corporations is entirely focused on biotech, from organic body modification to full on living battlesuits/armor and organic ships
Another company focuses on that + quantum reality and mind breaking tech, leading to some gruesome horror takes on this. (hint: your living armor might be cool and come with a lot of upsides... but if it gets too hurt and hungry... it might just start to eat you to preserve itself)
the caveat (for some people) is that its a furry focused setting
Humanity is long dead( or is it?), all that remains are the genetic mutant freaks the corpos made in the past, continuing on from where humanity left off.
Well, except owls
Last time a corp tried to make an owl... it did not end well for anyone involved.
Looks like an interesting setting. Need to look at it later
Isn't that the furry fetish rpg game? With taurs and futas?
Homeworld 3 gets crazier.

I always knew the White Women was an alien race.

given the fact that you are learning battletech lore you should see mandalore mechwarrior online
I will say, I hope a better written game (or one that is more consistantly comedic) has the “you fight the yous from the other two endings” ending
It's such a cool idea, just a little too ambitious for this project.
02:16
Watch Babylon 5.
Thank me later.
