No one is destined to grow up into Kranky. The Krankys of the world just assumed they are inevitable and have resigned themselves to Krankdom. They got sucked into the ego of Krank, who think all is he, and if not he then will be.
Dude, you are an auteur. “Video game development history is a combination of documented sources and fantastical esoterica." Fucking…. Chef’s kiss my dude. Beautifully put.
My 1994 christmas break was an almost 24 hour playthrough of Donkey Kong Country and listening to my 2nd present. A CD boxset of a radio broadcast series called "Suspense," an anthology of 30s and 40s campfire stories. Compounding nostalgia.
I have made it to 45 with no children and could not be more thankful. Kids are great for people who want them, but not wanting children should be more accepted as well. I've caught all sorts of flack because I don't want kids, mine or anyone else's. I once had a woman lie about having children on a dating site then pitch a fit when admitting she lied, revealed she had multiple kids, and I immediately said I was ending the date. I feel like Donkey Kong wouldn't have cared, but I cared. Plus he steals women, DK literally abducts women. Is that where his kids come from? I've never considered Diddy Kong might be the result of a forced mixed-species relationship. Anyway, I feel like good relationships can't start with a lie or forced mix-species breeding, but maybe that's just me. God, I really hope not.
I'll say the same things about games that I say about music. The primary industry sucks but there is no goddamn reason you have to play mainstream AAA games. I wonder why so many people complained about Justin Beiber because the only time I ever heard his music was in the grocery stores. Never played a call of duty or a madden game. Never played Suicide Squad kill the justice league. The mainstream industry is worse, but we are no longer chained to it like we were. I can just go buy microtonal music on bandcamp like it's nothing. I didn't even know it existed in the 90s.
Some of us work in grocery stores, but putting that aside, yes, you are correct. We don't need to be indulging a shitty mainstream culture in our downtime.
I love these recent videos. Been loving your work for years…maybe a (very) niche compliment…but your work feels like the love child of my favorite band/musical group (Pet Shop Boys). I hope you are enjoying what you are doing right now as much as I think you are.
I was in my early teens taking my much younger brother to the skate rink when all the other games had already bored me. He got so excited seeing my take the lead in Donkey Kong Jr time and time again. Eventually he learned well and we took turns on top breaking record after record. I had forgotten this until he reminded me how much he loved those trips.
Getting the Atari 2600 version of Donkey Kong and playing it, after having played it so many times in arcades, and my friends Colecovision, was probably my earliest experience with consumer betrayal.
I played both for the first time only a few years ago, and the experiences couldn't be more different. Dkc has this tiny screen and slippery controls, and I ended up just having to run into hazards just to learn they were there, more often than not. Not fun. Not unlike the original Metroid, but without the feeling of exploration. Super Metroid is the best game of that era I have played. Now I understand what all the later Metroid games I've played were trying to recapture.
Super Gameboy Donkey Kong (aka Donkey Kong ‘94) is the best version of Donkey Kong. I’ll fight anyone who says different. Although the music in DK Country is peak. All bless David Wise.
This might be the very 1st time I have commented on a RENEGADE CUT video I ❤ DONKEY KONG COUNTRY and it's subtle message about nature versus technology it's PIRATE themes in DKC2 DIDDY'S KONG QUEST and DKC3 and the CRYSTALS thank you for this existential deep dive about DONKEY KONG History also side note maybe PAULINE deserves her own game and Daisy too I have watched so many of your uploads but I treasure this game so I commented this time 😊
We had a Donkey Kong Game & Watch which was pretty good. I've always enjoyed that Kong is allowed to grow and change with the years and see new generations brought into the world while Mario is forever trapped in the cycle of revenge and hatred.
I've always thought that Mario was the villain. If Donkey Kong thought that Mario was an abusive jerk then it's totally understandable that he'd want to get Pauline away from him.
Elder Millenial should be MTG Card. It has "Complains about modern rules": Prohibited the usage of any mechanic invented post 1999 until the end of turn.
@ it’s an INCREDIBLE conspiracy drama that ran on channel 4 in the uk and got canceled for low viewership. my favorite show ever and infinitely worth a watch. kinda niche, very funky, wouldn’t have been surprised if you had seen it. either way, glad to know the answer before i went crazy comparing the two. cheers
all good. to better answer your question, it's just a sound effect. I pay a subscription to a music and sound effects archive, and sometimes I use free archives. I forget the origin of this. one of the two. anyway, it's a generic "man screaming in pain" sound that I messed around with some basic audio engineering tricks.

Saying "daddy" enough times to feel properly awkward. I vibe from this energy as a fellow elder millennial
"Mario doesn't love Pauline, he loves hate."
I lost my $**t at this line and your delivery of it Donkey Thomas. Love the work you do, keep it up!

Honest, it's just a cat. Not a "fur baby".
The underwater theme in Donkey Kong Country is hot as fuck
It slaps NGL
All bless David Wise.
It was a little bit of a shitpost, but it was a wholesome and perspective-clarifying shitpost, which makes it a good shitpost~

Exactly. Mainstream music may be really bad (imo), but there’s also stuff like Igorrr now, which would never have been accessible 30 years ago

Mario does not love Pauline. Mario loves hate.
🔥🔥🔥
I am hoping this ends with a Shatner-esque spoken word rendition of the DK Rap.
as a small kid,finding the hidden bonus stages and filling the 100% was such a gratifying challenge.
Your way of talking about games is very cathartic. A lot of other "tubers" are straight-forward and milk toast. It's a pleasure to listen to.
Milk toast
Damnit man, I just turned 40 and don’t need this kind of introspection.
He's the leader of the bunch.
If he shoots ya, it's gonna hurt!
This video was bananas
Renegade Cut 🤝 Big Yellow
Talking about how Mario is a real rat bastard
So much Daddy. So much Donkey Kong. I'm here for it.
When the video is here for a good time not a long time! 😂

"I'm not the king of kong..." Well, not even the King of Kong (tm) is the king of Kong.
I was never good enough to play this game well but I love all Renegade Cut content.
We are all good enough for Donkey Kong Country, there is no purity test required for entry.

Leon just keep being you dude ❤
DKC, a series of games that screams hey do not acknowledge the 64 games. Maybe i just want a minigame or two of diddy kong racing
Sir, you are an unpredictable genius.
Honestly DKC and Super Metroid are in my gaming top 5
Super Metroid is still phenomenal. My personal #2, right behind the masterpiece that is Shadow of the Colossus
I played both for the first time only a few years ago, and the experiences couldn't be more different.

I can’t say it enough, but David Wise is the GOAT.
8:11 they are coconut cream pies just like donkey kong likes

“Crazy Kong” seems to be a mix of DK and Crazy Climber. Those sound effects are ingrained in my brain.
We had a Donkey Kong Game & Watch which was pretty good. I've always enjoyed that Kong is allowed to grow and change with the years and see new generations brought into the world while Mario is forever trapped in the cycle of revenge and hatred.
"But enough about that, let's play a video game." - God damn 🤣
"the future mother of crazy taxi" is poetry
Tim Rogers when he only has 20 minutes to talk about a video game instead of 8 hours:
Oh dang, a new Renegade Cut about my favorite SNES game.
This is some next level shit. I didn't want the video to ever end. Thanks for mixing my two favorite things, angry reviews and existentialism.
Thank you for this video. I had that same vhs growing up, and this game changed my life.
I've always thought that Mario was the villain. If Donkey Kong thought that Mario was an abusive jerk then it's totally understandable that he'd want to get Pauline away from him.
Time is the fire in which we burn.
A working class villain is something to be.
Don’t forget about Diddy’s prosthetic golfing fingers.
That tape worked on me too, man. We weren't even subscribed to Nintendo Power. No idea why they sent it to us.
This script is so unhinged, I love it.
thx
One may be Daddy, but are they Father?
This is giving big Hareton Splimby energy
I like your new off the wall shitpost style. Good stuff leon.
Damn, this is why I love this channel.
Kongratulations on a great video!
Elder Millenial should be MTG Card. It has "Complains about modern rules": Prohibited the usage of any mechanic invented post 1999 until the end of turn.
stop and go level in dcc scared me so i would always use the skip
You could have learned how to number the parts correctly if you had also played Donkey Kong Jr. Math.
numbers. my arch-n3M3212.
Oh please do play Starfox Adventures, it's a weird one!
Great video. I was hoping you would share some thoughts on the sequel since it’s my favorite game of all time. Maybe a follow up is in the works?
This was fantastic. I loved it all. Very funny. Could you do a video on Cataclysm dark days ahead. I would love to see your Interpretation. Cheers.
Would make a great pitch chapter for Boss Fight Books
enjoying the regular posting of quality stuff 👍
thx
Happy new year Leonard
Wario X Waluigi 4vr!!! Also yes, Cranky was negging you. He was negging me too. He negs us all. All hail.
"Get me something good!" 😆😆😆
yes, you are the daddy now.
Donkey Kong and Congo Bongo are similar because both were made by Ikegami Tsushinki. Nintendo screwed them over real hard.
Aw shit new dunkey just dropped
Everything's so easy for Pauline.
((everything's so easy for Pauline...))
Voyons donc, stop mirroring my life.
In b4 the big N drops the hammer.
nice vid. music at 09:30?
i might just be losing my mind is it just me or does 1:01 sound EXACTLY like wilson wilson in the last scene of utopia (2013)
I don't know what any of that means, so no.

@@renegadecut9875 that makes sense. good to know, i appreciate it mate
Thank you for another good video.
Love your content
More outstanding work!
What are the videogames at 18:05 and 18:12? I have seen them before but do not know their names.
video is showing dusk, crow country and slay the princess around those time stamps.
Can you tighten up the graphics on level three?
Oh no! I know that corporate-tested dweebazoid!! That's comedian/actor Josh Wolfe. My gods the '90s were cruel! 😂
Wait but I will be 43 in May! Are we the same guy?
very nice video, thanks
Shame on you, Donkey Kong! Praise unto daddy,... I mean Leon
Hey, i was also born in 1982.
I dont like this aging thing very much
Amazing video
Cool video!
Politically divisive spicy hot take: Diddy Kong is better than Donkey Kong.

heck yeah

you are a daddy >:)
yes daddy
I am krank
Is it April already?
Am I crazy or did he delete a ton of his political videos on this channel?
yes, you are crazy. nothing has been deleted recently, and old videos are only rarely blocked. what are you seeking?
@@renegadecut9875oh I found them! They were back in 2023. Sorry to bother you. Thank you for clarification
