Warrior Within was insane... brought in weapon durability, the Sand Wraith, Traveling between the island's past and present, the Dahaka chases, most people did not even finish the game properly cause you needed the secondary water sword to kill the Dahaka.

People must be too young to know Prince of Persia is a 2D sidescroller. And whoever saying MetroidVania isn't popular......huh? Every Resident Evil Game up to a point is a MetroidVania. Just switch a double jump power with......BOLTCUTTERS. Both serve the same purpose of backtracking to past areas with NEW TOOLS. Newest God of Wars also MetroidVania in part. Control is a MetroidVania. People don't realize MetroidVanias have long ago graduated beyond 2D sidescrollers and are the foundation for many 3D action games.
I don't care what anyone says, Warrior Within is not only my favorite Prince of Persia game but Ubisoft game overall. Yeah the story is dark and brooding, zero Arabian nights vibes, and it's peak early 2000's edge, but the gameplay still holds up perfectly and the soundtrack by Stuart Chatwood (who went on to compose music for Darkest Dungeon!) is glorious, all bangers. People often argue which Assassin's Creed game has Ubisoft's best combat or parkour, but to be honest, that franchise has never come close to how fun and fluid Warrior Within feels to play. Now if you'll excuse me, it's time for my yearly replay of this masterpiece.
Whut? Stuart Chatwood in Darkest Dungeon? *madly reprioritizes backlog like if the MF-in' Dahaka is chasing after him* "Straight out of line, like I need further reason" Just to also also shout out Godsmack in the convo. And yeah, while Warrior Within has very different tone to the classic PoP vibes, it was the perfect darkest hour Empire Strikes Back for the Sands of Time trilogy and makes tonal sense that way. Tried AC, 2 and Brotherhood, always dropped them around the 1 hour mark then never looked at the series again. Assassin Creed is where you murder Prince of Persia, take out the fun bits and stuff the corps with the boring aspects of GTA LOL.
I've been hearing people say that wall jumping and parkour in general in the Sands of Time trilogy (SoT, WW, TT) is janky and too hard. Idk what they mean because to me it feels fluid and easy.
The gameplay and level design are fantastic, but there's only so much steel thong I can take. It didn't achieve the kind of of flow that SoT had with the platforming either. But I replay SoT every few years just for the story. That never gets old.

The Two Thrones was also my introduction to the series! I was like 6 or 7 when I first got it. The giant boss in the colosseum was where it was starting to get a little too spooky for me 😰
I still replay Sands Of Time at least once every few years. The writing and tone are just fantastic, and while combat got deeper in the sequels, I actually prefer the first game's clever use of the Dagger of Time to "finish" opponents, as it added a tactical timing element that Warrior Within and Two Thrones unfortunately did away with. The game as a whole still holds up perfectly as a standalone story, too. Lost Crown looks a lot like the Strider reboot in 2014, which is woefully underrated among Metroidvanias and 2.5D games in general. I'm excited to see how it turns out, though I'll try the demo before I decide on buying the full game.

POP2 was the best! i remember feeling the adrenaline of being a cursed prince running changing his fate, and the metal music is what build my taste in music till this day :D
You are objectively wrong, The Prince of Persia series is much better than anything from the Assassin's Creed series, you cannot convince me otherwise.@@mihawk508
I completed the HD Trilogy on my PS3 last year, and I swear, I enjoyed them more than Assassin's Creed games. PoP is definitely in my Top 10 game franchises of all time. I'm 100% gonna play The Lost Crown, I like the metroidvania style.
I coincidentally picked up the sands of time for the original xbox yesterday. came in perfect condition, manual included! remarkable how well it holds up.
I remember the first time firing up sands of time, i was so blown away as a kid, and i couldnt wait til classes were over so i could come home and play it nonstop.
The Sands of Time will forever remain one of my favorite games. The sequels were ok, but lacked he magic of Sands of Time. I also loved the 2008 reboot
The takedowns in The Two Thrones are a nice mechanic and i usually appreciate stealth as an option, though i think they’d be more fun if the quick time element was removed
Sand of time was of the first games I remember being advertised that I knew I had to get. Loved the game so much and now after this video I need to go back and play it
It's crazy to read the comments and realize that there's a generation that doesn't even realize that the Sands of Time trilogy is also a reboot of the series from the 80s. It also is weird to hear someone recommend the PS3 version, as someone who owns it myself, it's usually considered one of the lesser ports for all three games. Anyway, I got high hopes for The Lost Crown. The series has been in retirement for a while, but hearing that the Rayman team is working on it (if you haven't played Rayman Origins or Legends it shouldn't be slept on) and my newfound appreciation for the Metroidvania/search-action genre has me incredibly hyped to see them come back, even finally getting to old ideas (playing as the Prince's bodyguard rather than the Prince himself was an early concept that eventually led to Assassin's Creed)
The main thing I liked about the first game was his precog before he was do his parkour stunts so it’s like a quick glimpse of what you need to do and where you need to go!
Don't think it was forgotten, people that know PoP will know FS, but yeah it was considered a much worse game than the others. I still loved it, and the only reason I think it doesn't hit me in the heart like the others is because it came out on my late teens, while the SoT Trilogy came while I was starting adolescence, and as we know, games we play at that age leave a different mark!
@@AstyuJack so forgotten sands was considered worse than that pop 2008 ( in which player cannot even die ) ? I guess maybe it has to be about the graphics
The lost crown is absolutely amazing and now it’s gotten wanted to buy this trilogy and try it out cause the lost crown was my first prince of Persia game
I'm glad you mentioned Warrior Within is alot of peoples favoirite because if all your research was Metacritic you would assume everyone hated it because they found it too "edgy" Aka ign & Gamespot.The it's too "edgy" critisism for media alot of people like is extremely thrustrating for them including me.
Warrior Within is the best game of all time for me. Completed it probably 20 to 25 times, and cant get bored of it to this day. I still listen to the soundtrack during training. Timeless
I loved that trilogy back in the day, especially how the last game directly acknowledged the tonal shift between the first two and now you had the Prince with two personalities in conflict that were voiced by the two different V.A.'s who did the first two games, so that one was a more positive hopeful guy and the other was a jerky edgelord. Plus, it brought back Farah and finished calling back to where the first game started. It was so satisfying.
I bought both Prince Of Persia Sands Of Time and Beyond Good and Evil for the PS2 at the time they were released without knowing anything about either releases. Was blown away by both games and it made me a huge Ubisoft fan at the time.
My first game in this series was also Two Thrones and I loved that game. I look forward to the sands of time remake release so I can start from the beginning this time!
Prince of Persia Sands of Time Trilogy is one of my favorite series of video games (my favorite game in the series is TT, even though I started with SoT), but what made me want to play this series when it came out, was the original Prince of Persia (1989), that I feel deserved a mention in this video. Despite the original being only a 2D Platformer with a dueling mechanic for combat, not a metroidvania, when I saw the reveal of The Lost Crown I took it imediatelly as a nod to the original, and loved the decision to make this game a metroidvania. I feel it was a great decision, and even not messing with the story that we already know was great too, because they would get shred to pieces and accused of destroying the Prince we know. But the backlash I see against Lost Crown, because it is a 2.5D game (some people calling it a mobile game, as if all games have to be 3D and boast ridiculous graphics) and not following the story of the Prince we know, saddens me. The only way people will turn to this game's side is if only it's a masterpiece, being only good will not suffice.
I personally think it’ll be fine if it’s just good. You shouldn’t be too concerned by the crowd that calls it a mobile game. They’re not gonna buy it even if it’s a masterpiece (nor do they know what they’re talking about, as, like you said, not all games are 3D with stellar graphics). I’m just personally really disappointed by the Sands of Time delay to get particularly excited about Lost Crown (looks good tho).
Warrior Within is not only my favorite Ubisoft game, it is by far the best game I have ever played. Having played thousands of games for 20 years, it still remains my favorite game and it seems like it will continue to do so. That old man's words "You can't change your fate" still echo in my ears, and Kaileena's words "You are a fool Prince" still echo in my head. Menu music plays in my head in unexpected places. No matter what they call this game, let them say it's not POP. It doesn't matter. Warrior Within is one of the cornerstones of the gaming world.
Prince of Persia is definitely a timeless gem. It has been the most beloved game for million of gamers around the globe, so it was for me. That's why Prince of Persia is one of the major inspiration for the game we're developing. We're working on a "90s Anime inspired 2D Hack'n'Slash game which has Parkour like Platforming". And all the animations are going to be hand-drawn. Imagine action of Devil May Cry and platforming of Prince of Persia.
Regarding the combat in Warrior Within, yes, it has a block ability. It doesn’t make it Assassin’s Creed. It’s up to you if you just want to stand there and block all day or if you want to be aggressive and proactive. The team gave you a lot of new moves that weren’t present in the first game, specifically to make the combat more interesting and engaging. If you just stand there and block, instead of actually using the game’s mechanics, just because the first boss required you to block from time to time, thats on you. Basically it’s a skill issue. Oh and you can’t really do combat like in Assassin’s Creed, because most enemies have a way around your block, either with unblockable attacks or by tripping you and punishing you when you’re down.
I really hope this guy knows Prince of Persia was a thing in the 80's long before The Sands of Time. Hell, Sands of time wasn't even the first 3d PoP game.
Imagine talking about warrior within without mentioning it's insanely good soundtrack featuring Godsmack. Brought those dahaka chases to a whole new level.
Always confused that people got mad about Lost Crown, since the OG games were 80s-90s 2d parkour puzzle platformers set in an entirely different timeline from the later Sands of Time games.
14:33 I can tell you why exactly, it's because of the cancelled Kindred Blades game which was supposed to be instead of T2T. It was more focused on stealth than it is there, which you seem to like so I bet you would've loved to see Kindred Blades. There are some videos about it and some datamines on the internet of it, I recommend you check that out if you're interested.
Prince of Persia HD trilogy is PS3 exclusive. Sony around 2010 began publishing HD remasters of some of their their iconic ps2 games. Prince of Persia, God of War, Rachet and Clank, Jak and Daxter and more got HD remasters with trophy support and sixaxis/dualshock 3 support.
I absolutely loved the Prince of Persia trilogy back on the original Xbox. Used to be a huge fan of Ubisoft due to growing up with amazing games like Rayman 2, PoP 1-3, and the early AC games. PoP 1 and 2 are both really really good in their own different ways, while 3 was a bit weaker though still pretty good.
I remember really liking the sands of time! The commercials for this game is really cool too I still have the copy with me since 2012 (I wonder if it still works?)
10:41 Did you really called Sands of Time areas repetitive while Warrior Within expensive? It’s literally the other way around? Sands of time letting you go to many different places while warrior within you have to go through the exact same map 4 times, wtf even is this review 🤡🤡🤡🤡
Sands of Time (2003) is definitely the best of the entire SoT series. . . It’s so charming and whimsical, and has all the best elements of cheesy action movies like the Mummy and Scorpion King It has a romance subplot that’s actually quite wholesome and interesting, and the Prince and Farah have such a dope dynamic And it doesn’t have all the unnecessary edginess like in Warrior Within, while still being dark and depressing at times
Two Thrones was the first game that I ever played and it instantly made me fell in love with video games. I hope they remake the original games especially warrior within.
Of all the three POP games I've played in my past childhood. My most favorite will always be Sands Of Time, and I really can't wait to play the upcoming new POP game. Even though we won't play as the Prince, but it's close as we get for a new POP game.

Sands of time trilogy deserves a remake for sure. Tho the two thrones would really benefit if it remade the story as it should have been at the start, when it was named kindred blades.
The remake doesn’t interest me, but this video just made me realize they have the entire original series on Steam. Definitely gonna jump into this series again, loved it when they originally came out.
These are still one of my all time fav trilogies! Sands of time is goat but loved the vibe of warrior within, the soundtrack and gameplay and story were really awesome! Two thrones felt like it needed a bit more time to flesh the story and characters more but it tied the other games together well enough ^^
My brother was addicted to these games. Especially Warrior Within. He also really liked the Reboot that stepped away from this main character. I havnt started the video so I don't know if Matty mentions it yet.
Warrior Within was insane... brought in weapon durability, the Sand Wraith, Traveling between the island's past and present, the Dahaka chases, most people did not even finish the game properly cause you needed the secondary water sword to kill the Dahaka.
That game felt so long. Like when you beat it, but had to do it again as the sand wraith thing was crazy!
@@SweetSweetJustice Seriously! playing as the Sand Wraith was cool too soft intro to the Dark Prince in Two Thrones
That game will always have a special place in my heart because it was the first game in that series that I played.
I couldn't stand the music or combat, so I barely remember anything else about it.
Warrior Within was hard af. You needed a guide to beat the game. And it had a gamebreaking bug that was never fixed.
I didn’t play them that much, but Prince of Persia is one of those legendary series that deserves to get talked about. I’m very happy that it’s coming back
If you didn’t PAY them that much clearly they couldn’t have been that good!

The takedowns in The Two Thrones are a nice mechanic and i usually appreciate stealth as an option, though i think they’d be more fun if the quick time element was removed
Nah , if you remove that , u know what those Archer birds are pain in the ass
@Handonattempt qte timing was for boss battle too, so u just cannot escape that
Pop trilogy is my all-time favorite. Took me to another dimension whenever I used to play that game.
Sand of time was of the first games I remember being advertised that I knew I had to get. Loved the game so much and now after this video I need to go back and play it
It's crazy to read the comments and realize that there's a generation that doesn't even realize that the Sands of Time trilogy is also a reboot of the series from the 80s.
It also is weird to hear someone recommend the PS3 version, as someone who owns it myself, it's usually considered one of the lesser ports for all three games.
Anyway, I got high hopes for The Lost Crown. The series has been in retirement for a while, but hearing that the Rayman team is working on it (if you haven't played Rayman Origins or Legends it shouldn't be slept on) and my newfound appreciation for the Metroidvania/search-action genre has me incredibly hyped to see them come back, even finally getting to old ideas (playing as the Prince's bodyguard rather than the Prince himself was an early concept that eventually led to Assassin's Creed)
The main thing I liked about the first game was his precog before he was do his parkour stunts so it’s like a quick glimpse of what you need to do and where you need to go!

Are you kidding me? The Dahaka gave me nightmares for so long i was scared to go to bed...
The forgotten sands has, ironically, been forgotten. It was a really good prince of Persia game. The original trilogy is unrivalled though
Don't think it was forgotten, people that know PoP will know FS, but yeah it was considered a much worse game than the others. I still loved it, and the only reason I think it doesn't hit me in the heart like the others is because it came out on my late teens, while the SoT Trilogy came while I was starting adolescence, and as we know, games we play at that age leave a different mark!
@@AstyuJack so forgotten sands was considered worse than that pop 2008 ( in which player cannot even die ) ? I guess maybe it has to be about the graphics
The lost crown is absolutely amazing and now it’s gotten wanted to buy this trilogy and try it out cause the lost crown was my first prince of Persia game
Prince of Persia two thrones changed my life.
I'm glad you mentioned Warrior Within is alot of peoples favoirite because if all your research was Metacritic you would assume everyone hated it because they found it too "edgy" Aka ign & Gamespot.The it's too "edgy" critisism for media alot of people like is extremely thrustrating for them including me.
Man i'd love a Prince of Persia 3D platformer again, i miss these!

Warrior Within is the best game of all time for me. Completed it probably 20 to 25 times, and cant get bored of it to this day. I still listen to the soundtrack during training. Timeless
I loved that trilogy back in the day, especially how the last game directly acknowledged the tonal shift between the first two and now you had the Prince with two personalities in conflict that were voiced by the two different V.A.'s who did the first two games, so that one was a more positive hopeful guy and the other was a jerky edgelord. Plus, it brought back Farah and finished calling back to where the first game started. It was so satisfying.
I bought both Prince Of Persia Sands Of Time and Beyond Good and Evil for the PS2 at the time they were released without knowing anything about either releases. Was blown away by both games and it made me a huge Ubisoft fan at the time.
wow i think you are the only person who reviewed Warrior Within without mentioning DAHAKA other then that unique retrospective though.....
You def deserve my sub, great vids man 💪
Does anyone remember the sands of time remake trailer from a couple years ago? Is it still coming out or did it get canned?
My first game in this series was also Two Thrones and I loved that game. I look forward to the sands of time remake release so I can start from the beginning this time!
Prince of Persia Sands of Time Trilogy is one of my favorite series of video games (my favorite game in the series is TT, even though I started with SoT), but what made me want to play this series when it came out, was the original Prince of Persia (1989), that I feel deserved a mention in this video. Despite the original being only a 2D Platformer with a dueling mechanic for combat, not a metroidvania, when I saw the reveal of The Lost Crown I took it imediatelly as a nod to the original, and loved the decision to make this game a metroidvania. I feel it was a great decision, and even not messing with the story that we already know was great too, because they would get shred to pieces and accused of destroying the Prince we know. But the backlash I see against Lost Crown, because it is a 2.5D game (some people calling it a mobile game, as if all games have to be 3D and boast ridiculous graphics) and not following the story of the Prince we know, saddens me. The only way people will turn to this game's side is if only it's a masterpiece, being only good will not suffice.
I personally think it’ll be fine if it’s just good. You shouldn’t be too concerned by the crowd that calls it a mobile game. They’re not gonna buy it even if it’s a masterpiece (nor do they know what they’re talking about, as, like you said, not all games are 3D with stellar graphics). I’m just personally really disappointed by the Sands of Time delay to get particularly excited about Lost Crown (looks good tho).

Warrior Within is not only my favorite Ubisoft game, it is by far the best game I have ever played. Having played thousands of games for 20 years, it still remains my favorite game and it seems like it will continue to do so.
That old man's words "You can't change your fate" still echo in my ears, and Kaileena's words "You are a fool Prince" still echo in my head. Menu music plays in my head in unexpected places.
No matter what they call this game, let them say it's not POP. It doesn't matter. Warrior Within is one of the cornerstones of the gaming world.
Good video. My copy of HD collection is coming today. When the remake comes out, get the physical copy of sot for Xbox, it's back compat
i LOVE “warrior within”
I played and finished every Prince of Persia available on PS3,Warrior Within,Sands of Time and the 2008 PoP game are my favorites.

Nothing is a banger
Prince of Persia is definitely a timeless gem. It has been the most beloved game for million of gamers around the globe, so it was for me.
That's why Prince of Persia is one of the major inspiration for the game we're developing.
We're working on a "90s Anime inspired 2D Hack'n'Slash game which has Parkour like Platforming". And all the animations are going to be hand-drawn. Imagine action of Devil May Cry and platforming of Prince of Persia.
Regarding the combat in Warrior Within, yes, it has a block ability. It doesn’t make it Assassin’s Creed. It’s up to you if you just want to stand there and block all day or if you want to be aggressive and proactive. The team gave you a lot of new moves that weren’t present in the first game, specifically to make the combat more interesting and engaging. If you just stand there and block, instead of actually using the game’s mechanics, just because the first boss required you to block from time to time, thats on you. Basically it’s a skill issue. Oh and you can’t really do combat like in Assassin’s Creed, because most enemies have a way around your block, either with unblockable attacks or by tripping you and punishing you when you’re down.
I really hope this guy knows Prince of Persia was a thing in the 80's long before The Sands of Time. Hell, Sands of time wasn't even the first 3d PoP game.
Thanks for making this video
People have been saying the platforming in the Sands of Time trilogy is janky and too hard. I don't get it? I thought it's pretty easy and well done.
These games were such a huge part of my childhood. I remember staying up late watching my brother play the first one shortly after we got a PS2.

Imagine talking about warrior within without mentioning it's insanely good soundtrack featuring Godsmack. Brought those dahaka chases to a whole new level.
Always confused that people got mad about Lost Crown, since the OG games were 80s-90s 2d parkour puzzle platformers set in an entirely different timeline from the later Sands of Time games.
Warrior within is my favorite of the lot.
Quotable lines.
Godsmack.
The most action oriented.
The Dahaka was sick af
4:22 guy walking into box pretty next level 😅
Speaking of trilogies, my first crash bandicoot was warped. Still my favorite to this day.
14:33 I can tell you why exactly, it's because of the cancelled Kindred Blades game which was supposed to be instead of T2T. It was more focused on stealth than it is there, which you seem to like so I bet you would've loved to see Kindred Blades. There are some videos about it and some datamines on the internet of it, I recommend you check that out if you're interested.
Funny, most people who like Two Thrones also had it been their first Prince of Persia game. A funny trend, kinda explains a lot.
What about the original Prince of Persia game from 1989? I played that on the Sega CD!
Perplexing the gamers amnesia pre Sands of Time🤔 I have the ps3 remake tho not to mention the OG is an Easter egg on ps2 Sands at least
Prince of Persia HD trilogy is PS3 exclusive. Sony around 2010 began publishing HD remasters of some of their their iconic ps2 games. Prince of Persia, God of War, Rachet and Clank, Jak and Daxter and more got HD remasters with trophy support and sixaxis/dualshock 3 support.
I dusted off my PS3 last year and I played through the entire PoP series. The original trilogy still holds up really well but my favorite was PoP 2008
Sands of Time Trilogy is not the original trilogy, check Prince of Persia (1989), Prince of Persia 2: The Shadow and the Flame and Prince of Persia 3D
@@AstyuJack sorry. Meant modern trilogy
@@gleam6370 No need to apologise! I just want people to know about the original trilogy, and it seemed you didn't know it.
I absolutely loved the Prince of Persia trilogy back on the original Xbox. Used to be a huge fan of Ubisoft due to growing up with amazing games like Rayman 2, PoP 1-3, and the early AC games. PoP 1 and 2 are both really really good in their own different ways, while 3 was a bit weaker though still pretty good.
I remember really liking the sands of time!
The commercials for this game is really cool too
I still have the copy with me since 2012 (I wonder if it still works?)
i have beat them all in the sand of time trilogy and to me its a legendary franchise cant wait for the sands of time remake and the new as well.
10:41
Did you really called Sands of Time areas repetitive while Warrior Within expensive?
It’s literally the other way around? Sands of time letting you go to many different places while warrior within you have to go through the exact same map 4 times, wtf even is this review 🤡🤡🤡🤡
2:30 before Ubisoft entered it's evil corpo arc 😢
Sands of Time (2003) is definitely the best of the entire SoT series. . .
It’s so charming and whimsical, and has all the best elements of cheesy action movies like the Mummy and Scorpion King
It has a romance subplot that’s actually quite wholesome and interesting, and the Prince and Farah have such a dope dynamic
And it doesn’t have all the unnecessary edginess like in Warrior Within, while still being dark and depressing at times
I'm glad u doing different vids this time if u could throw in some tekken retrospectives when u can bro❤
Two Thrones was the first game that I ever played and it instantly made me fell in love with video games. I hope they remake the original games especially warrior within.
Great thumbnail as usual
“Where this series began” as if prince of Persian wasn’t a game series before the sands of time
Of all the three POP games I've played in my past childhood. My most favorite will always be Sands Of Time, and I really can't wait to play the upcoming new POP game. Even though we won't play as the Prince, but it's close as we get for a new POP game.

ubisoft giving the warrior within armor in the lost crown feels like an insult.
I remember I had a “Demo” collection on my parents Xbox and a Warrior Within was on it. It was the most violent game I had ever seen and I was very young so of course I loved it. The combat was insanely good
PoP 2008 needs more love. I really enjoyed that game and its graphics and art style were amazing!
If you love Hollow Knight you'll love the new Prince of persia game. Check out the free demo while its available
Nice review. You said you'd do a review of the one with Elika in it as well, but never did. Hope you do. But still, nice review.
Warrior within was my favorite. Mostly because of the blood. One of my favorite trilogys
oh my god.. I finally found someone else who likes to collect Collections..... I have 20 different PS3 collections.. Big ones I would like to pick up are Killzone Trilogy, Splinter Cell Trilogy and Jak and Daxter Trilogy. Other than that I have most of the rest of them i think. Anyway, Subscribed!
Prince appears on wii is what got me on to got me into gaming
Kinda surprised getting chased by the dahaka (or whatever it’s called) wasn’t burned into others’ brains when younger.
I never played one of these ever I always remember seeing it when I was a kid . I'm gonna have to buy the first one
It is still to this day, one of the best trilogies of any era
14:30 I played them all in order as a kid and the third was my favorite, a nice blend of the positive aspects of both of the earlier games

Hey man, where's the rest of the Sly retrospectives? The community needs that stuff! All 17 of us. 😆
Sands of time trilogy deserves a remake for sure. Tho the two thrones would really benefit if it remade the story as it should have been at the start, when it was named kindred blades.
The remake doesn’t interest me, but this video just made me realize they have the entire original series on Steam. Definitely gonna jump into this series again, loved it when they originally came out.
Man i really hope one day you cover Tomb Raider
These are still one of my all time fav trilogies! Sands of time is goat but loved the vibe of warrior within, the soundtrack and gameplay and story were really awesome! Two thrones felt like it needed a bit more time to flesh the story and characters more but it tied the other games together well enough ^^
