This was their last game creation of 3DO production since 2004, the other game like GTA San Andreas, Star Wars Battlefront, MGS 3, Halo 2, Doom 3, SWs Knights of the old Republic 2, Warhammer 40k Dawn of War, The legend of Zelda: Four swords adventures, Fallout Brotherhood of Steel, and Paper Mario: The thousand-year door were making better sales than 3DO. Ultimately, the 3DO production had no choice but, file a chapter 11 bankruptcy in May 2003. The company's game brands and other intellectual properties were sold to rivals like Microsoft, Namco, Crave and Ubisoft, and also to founder Trip Hawkins, who paid $405,000 for rights to some old brands and the company's "Internet patent portfolio". Hawkins went on to found Digital Chocolate, a mobile-based gaming company. That was the end of 3DO and Army Men series. May they rest in peace.
I'd say Sarge's War is very misunderstood with it's story telling. There's two different deeper themes here, one is a classic case of "growing up with your audience." . The green army and bravo Company getting destroyed, meaning life can throw a curveball at anytime with little to no warning, and we all will eventually be forced to grow up and move away from our comfort zones. Places of nostalgia from our past being revisited, being old, decerped, and almost unrecognizable. We don't always need to revisit "the good old days", as it can do more damage than good, and life was a lot more black and white, then. Sarge later goes on to kill Lord Malice, only to realize it was one of his best men. He was stuck in the past, unable to forgive Sarge of something he had no control over, but Sarge forgives Malice. Sarge was able to move on, represented by him passing by the molds of his fallen bravo Company. He's accepted life for what it's given him, and has moved on. The second is the downfall of 3DO as a company. It starts off relatively the same, shooting tan baddies, going through portals, and having a good time with Bravo Company. Bravo Company represents the soul of the Army Men franchise as a whole. Murdered and killed off by bad corporate decisions, represented by Lord Malice. Sarge represents the heart of the devs and fanbase, who've grown up with the series/franchise. 3DO was already in the hole, and had been bought out by 2K, a merger of good and evil, green and tan. The devs of the game, under the new story writers weren't too happy with how Sarges war was turning out, and did their best to make it as good as it could be with the story they were given. The story writers were intentionally killing off the franchise, though the devs wanted to keep the creativity rolling. Obvioulsy this was going to be a shit show, and the game ironically tells us this by blowing everything we know and love into bite size peices of plastic. 2K knew we'd buy the game, they knew it would be a huge cash grab. Fast forward to when Sarge confronts Malice, or the devs and fanbase with nothing left confronting Malice or 2K, asking a simple "Why". Turns out it was one of sarges old friends, turned bad and blaming sarge for his downfall, similar to how 3DO blamed consumers for their consoles failure, and eventual downfall. Malice dies, along with old 3DO. Our childhood is done. Sarge passes by the molds of his fallen brothers, not realizing he could revive them, and moves on with his life, just like we, and the devs did. But there is still a small glimmer of hope that things could come back, even for a moment. There will always be hope.
This is a great interpretation of the story. Indeed, this game is very misunderstood and loved that they made this game more gritty and honest in its storytelling. I feel that this ending truly shows that war is heck as well and isn't simply fun and games anymore. The "plastic" soldiers aren't even protected from the trauma of war. Thanks for sharing you comment!
wow, thanks for the closure.. I have a huge attachment on this army men franchise since this was a major part of my childhood. Knowing bravo company being torn like this is kinda depressing, more when I knew about sarge's death, though your explanation gives light on everything and makes it easier to accept what happened..
@@kertzschmidt"me an Argentinean who played with soldier toy realizing what I've done when I got rid of them" Me: my god...I...I killed them all!!!!. All my men, under my command... dead!!
I'm just now discovering this game existed. I had a seriously strong connection to the OG Sarge's Heroes on N64, and I liked all the characters. I absolutely cannot believe they just blow every character to hell in an instant in this game, it's got me dying here!
Rest In Peace Vikki the look and tone in sarges face and her funny response was deep... that hurts this game was in fact emotional for some plastic going to war sorry sarge sorry 3D0 you will be missed dearly - greenie out!
Hahaha your comment is soooo true, maybe it was there way of saying its all over folks. Pretty brutal though especially when you grow up playing the earlier games and like the characters :(
I understand 3DO went down the drain, but this game is just depressing. There's no point. They should have left it with the happy ending after portal runner. Not just because of the depressing factor, but because it's not possible if the first and second games story were true. Plastro's army discovered the portals before the green nation and started bringing in these W.O.M.D.s however, they first discovered it AFTER Sarge was the Bravo command unit's leader. Sarge discovered the portals for the first time on behalf of the green nation after him and Grimm escaped Plastro's attack on their base in mission 1. He went through it after finding the spy in Mission 2 / bringing him out of the portal to interrogate him once mission 3 was done. For "Sarge's War", the entire game is based on Sarge being a rookie who let his squad die and abandoned his commander when they were ambushed at an evac. point in the real world. Sarge was never in the real world as a rookie. If it happened in the plastic world at some point it would make sense, but the kitchen in the real world? No. Sarge was in the bathtub as the first green soldier to go through a portal. Unless the tan already took Thick to the Garden or Scorch to the sandbox, which I doubt because they would have gotten plastered by the time Sarge found them, but even still - that's not Sarge as a rookie with other rookies under "Major Gooding". Cheap last sale to make everyone salty about the series ending with the moral of the story being revenge doesn't fill the void / war is hell and hell is for heroes. Maybe they were really trying to just make it end off with any war results in both sides losing / war is dark and depressing stuff since the first two, portal runner, and air combat games kind of had a fun / kid friendly ring to it and wasn't graphic or anything; but, I think they just did it knowing they were going down so kill it for good in the event someone tries to buy the copyright or something and they can't destroy the series by changing it drastically. "If we can't profit / live off of making this no one else can take our work down the line and do it." RIP 3DO. RIP Bravo company. RIP Colonel Grimm. RIP Vicki Grimm. Be at peace Sargent Hawk. You are sorely missed. Wish we could have seen them find peace and Sarge marry Vicki. Only one that got away from all of this would be Bridgette Blue. (Unless her prison cell was near the explosion, but I doubt it.)
@@oliverpony woooahh... that's trippy. Makes sense since they're plastic soldiers... I just thought they were like unique soldier graves or something. If that's how it works in the plastic world though, there's no real consequence of death and the war would never stop. Unless memories are wiped. Than sarge would lead a squad that doesn't know him and idk if he could even fall in love with a new vikki. That's like... the flash seeing the Earth 2 flash as his dad. Same body features in an identical sense, but totally different person.
I've only played a couple of the army men series and so don't really understand - is there more than one universe or something? What happened to the original army men games' stories like 1, 2 and toys in space etc before sgt hawk was a character?
Wow, that's such a good point! Was it ever confirmed that they had never seen a portal before the events of Sarge's Heroes? It's been a while since I last played that game
Even as a kid, I had a "hol up" moment when the general casually mentions that all Army Men are basically clones produced en mass specifically for war. That just seemed so effed up that it hit me harder than the bomb scene.
It makes a lot of sense especially in Army Men RTS, where you build production centers and print out your Army men, vehicles and such out of molds, every different type of soldier has the same voice, looks and weapon. Makes a lot of sense out of simple game limitations. I guess we could interpret Sarge, Grimm and the heroes along with the other unique characters to have been made from a special mold specifically to fill their roles. Individualism doesn't appear to exist much in the Army Men world since everyone for the most part serves the color they were made to be, or in Malice and Colonel Blintz's case, converted, yet a hint of green still exists in them through their scars.
So it has been said a few times already but the containers that had bravo teams's, viki's and Grimm's names indicates that the ones that were killed, were clones. I additionally read, I think it was on the wiki, that the story and cutscenes were actually done by 3DO before they went under and the other studio stepped in. So with that being said, I believe we were set up to receive another army men game that would possibly pick up on that last scene. There is also the fact that Alpha wolf squadron from Army men air attack 1 & 2 were not accounted for. So their statuses are unknown too. It sucks, but atm it seems unlikely we will get another sequel for the foreseeable future. One could hope though, and I have seen series that went longer without a new game come back so It's really just up too however owns the Army men IP.
this is so deep for a kids game dam i can feel it scrolling down reading the comments then watching it rip 3D0 you made a great creation in this series
The storage tubes seen at the end implys that Malice made clones of Sarge's team and killed them just to play on Sarge's emotions so his real team could possibly still be alive out there somewhere
If this game still continue the franchise. Had the feeling the cloned were not just sarge team, but also the Tan version of sarge team that brainwashed to destroy him Meaning despite lord malice dead, his legacy would still life on to continue haunting sarge
Sarge's war is the last game of Army men series that i knew when i was a kid and i havent seen anymore game afterward...i realized 3DO stopped after this game...the whole game telling us that "good time won't last"
R.I.P. childhood. It hurt me a little on the inside when I found it years ago. At the same time. But what a strong way to end a classic series. Good story even if its sad.
This game tells a great story of war in general. Americas wars are this. We create the enemy for ourselves. But we can’t stop, that’s war, finding an enemy, or Making one.
But Sarge found out about the portals in Sarges Heroes 1, how was he in a squad in our world where all his comrades died as a private prior to the events of Sarge's Heroes? Continuity, what is that? The story sucks but the gameplay is great which is ironically my opposite opinion about the Sarges Heroes Trilogy, where I thought the gameplay was shit while the story was a lot of fun to watch. Weird how that works.
Why this gets hate is because the story makes no sense. How could Sarge, when he was a rookie know about the portals and be in the other world. The story doesn't align with Sarge's Heros, not just this but other related things. Also, I just noticed Sarge's voice in this sounds like Omega in Green Rouge 🤣
If someone restarts the Army Men Series, I think that Sarge goes through a Special Portal aka a Time Portal and stops the Bomb before it killed everyone.
This game, even though I never actually played through it, gave me ptsd for army men. But I think I understand it. Still better then Soldiers of misfortune though.
it seems like the VA was dubbed over last second as if Jim backed out, or the developers had intentions of bringing him back to voice the heroes, but something went wrong with the negotiations or something. It seems so odd that this is both a worse version of the story told by Army Men RTS and at the same time also a decent continuation of it with the concepts of molds being expanded on, especially with the implications left at the end that Sarge can just mold all of the green army once again.
Unfortunately this game gets so much hate. Personally this is my favorite army men game. The story is dark and gritty but I think it actually fits well. I believe that what we play and see is how the kid who plays with these army men sees. We start off in sarges hero’s with a kid who just got his army men toys. He uses his endless imagination to creat a story and a world where anything can happen. Then sarges hero’s two where the kid is a little bit more mature. There’s a bit more violence and there’s a tad bit of a more mature tone. Then we get to sarges war. The kid is growing up. He glances at his army men with his teenage eyes. He starts to play and realizes he’s having a harder time using his imagination. He creates a world where it’s sarge and sarge alone with the tans. Therefore making it his war. It’s darker because he’s not a little kid anymore. Innocents has been lost. As sarge takes down malice, the kid puts down his toys. He packs them up and puts them away. Therefore officially ending, sarges story.
This game was sad and depressing. Never got to beat it back then. But I was expecting at least a scene with blue soldiers like Bridget. She should've been there to at least comfort him at some point we all know she has the hots for him. Also, where else could he go? He helped save the blue town in part 2 so it's not like they'd try and kill him. Who knows how many greens are even left? Blue town is his best bet for now.
What if they turnt sarge blue since his nation is destroyed 🤔 btw when sarge left he didn’t see the tubes that the heroes Grimm and Vicki were in so could they have been copies of them or them being remolded into tan soldiers🤔
theres edgy but then theres sarges war, I like it even if its a bit corny at times plus its no were near the edge factor that is shadow the hedgehog so its actually a good game I'm in my opinion
I never understand why they stopped using certain characters in these games... like where is Captain Blade and his crew in this game? The best characters were from the Air Attack games, but they're never seen again in the other games?
El mejor de los juegos de la saga diría yo Varias armas,distintos tipos de Soldados,vehículos,buenos soundtrack durante el juego,le da una emoción tremenda,una buena trama,una historia muy profunda y seria,que muestra lo que realmente es una guerra,y creo que es uno de los pocos juegos de la Saga Army Men donde juegas contra el Jefe Principal,el Líder Enemigo
this game like blink: the time sweeper from the Xbox made me so angry as a kid when i couldnt pass it. the cut scenes in this game were so good. the gameplay and more content could of made it better.
Army Men is a game where play as a children's plastic toy, why is this depicted as a Vietnam war. Like, lighten up game, this isn't CoD: World at War here.
Ahh simple he explains at the end, war is bad. It killed my buddies and my girlfriend lol. I laughed alot in this game, you'll be full of bullet holes just still lighting up the tan. Or they try to make a situation disturbing but I couldn't take it seriously because he will be like I can still smell burnt plastic. The only time I felt bad for someone in this game is when they killed off every hero. I mean c'mon. They killed them off without giving them a cool death scene, or a last line. It's like they just finished reading game of thrones the red wedding and said hey let's do that but kill off literally every single hero leaving just sarge alive. Effectively ending the series after this game. Yeah that pissed almost every army men fan off. That being said I actually like the games combat and environments. Just a bad story sadly. All of this just my opinion though... lol ;)
@@LoopyLongplays the game tries to be disturbing but honestly I think it's unintentionally hilarious. Right after the cutscene where Sarges team and Vikki all die, the level after features Sarge commenting how "The Fat Lady is here and she isn't gonna sing tonight". His mood just swung to a complete 180 after watching his girlfriend die in his arms. Lmao
but if they do bring it back I think Sarge should be the leader of the green Nation but in the huge world. But how did they take over are destroyed the green nation in the tan Nation unless they order 66 it and then mocked up the rest of the soldiers of the tan and green but still there will be remnants of the tan and green army and they be other nations.
god i thought this was the coolest shit when i was 7 years old now i just see how edgy it is. everyone i know and love just died, i must FIRE TWO BIG GUNS IN THE AIR BECAUSE I AM UPSET.
I'll admit, I loved this game as a kid, but I know it's not a good game at all. They stripped the charm of the original for a serious cliche war story. The original games didn't take themselves seriously even the ww one. while this one and Major malfunction stained the franchise by killing off Hawk, making this story and all the others pointless. HOWEVER, Malice was a cool fucking villain!
Really boils my plastic balls that Major Malfunction had the gall do that prologue scene where a "sergeant hawk" model gets "melted in a microwave"... and then the game is nothing like the Army Men or Sarge's games... it's much worse. The Army Men series negative reception has more to do with being released in an unfortunate era of gaming rather than being "bad". Imagine if the idea didnt start until 2015... I feel it would have been much more successful.
@@DBWave94 Army Men is a silly child friendly franchise and this game trying to be serious and dark is kinda cringey. Star Wars is a silly, child friendly franchise and Andor and Rogue one trying to be serious and dark is kinda cringe.
@@nihilisticpancake308 I have to agree with you there, bud. Star Wars has definitely lost its touch post-Disney acquisition, but I feel like that's mostly due to the push for heavy liberal and misandrinistic overtones in everything they've been releasing lately.

It’s like they played twisted metal black then thought, this would work well with army men.
This feels like Xavier: Renegade Angel tier lol
They should make a Animated movie about Army men series
This game tells a great story of war in general. Americas wars are this. We create the enemy for ourselves. But we can’t stop, that’s war, finding an enemy, or Making one.
6:46 best moment in the game
You took my goofy action figure game an made it wayyy to serious
Soooooo true
You look at general malice absolutely chewing the scenery and you tell me that this is serious
Really loved this game and the Army men franchise as a whole.
One of my favorite childhood fps
But Sarge found out about the portals in Sarges Heroes 1, how was he in a squad in our world where all his comrades died as a private prior to the events of Sarge's Heroes? Continuity, what is that?
The story sucks but the gameplay is great which is ironically my opposite opinion about the Sarges Heroes Trilogy, where I thought the gameplay was shit while the story was a lot of fun to watch. Weird how that works.
Probably a non-canon series. This was my first Army Men game on the Xbox and I didn't know who the characters were, but it didn't matter much
Well I just realised in the ending the rest were alive after all.
Pretty much my take on it. Story sucks but good gameplay
@@gnostic2815 same
as their final game, this is a dark way to end the series. a true tragic
5:22 Why didn’t sarge call in advance? He was just talking to Malice
Sargents war was my favorite and after watching watchmen the story telling reminded me of Sargents war
When this game is more call of duty than modern call of duty
Nobody:
The Writers of Portal Runner:
Brigitte Bleu after finding out Vikki died leaving Sarge single: "Wooimbouttamakeanameformyselfere"
Sarges Voice is like Apocalypse Now meets Army men
Army men meant to be fun light hearted game not dark bloody revenge like MGS5
I loved this game! It would of been awesome if Green Rogue teamed up with Sarge to help avenge the heroes.
When did Sarge turn into discount Max Payne? I still liked this game a lot tho!
Who the fuck thought it would be a great idea to write a dark, gritty, and serious story for PLASTIC TOY SOLDIERS?!
My god the nostalgia
Why this gets hate is because the story makes no sense. How could Sarge, when he was a rookie know about the portals and be in the other world. The story doesn't align with Sarge's Heros, not just this but other related things.
Also, I just noticed Sarge's voice in this sounds like Omega in Green Rouge 🤣
If someone restarts the Army Men Series, I think that Sarge goes through a Special Portal aka a Time Portal and stops the Bomb before it killed everyone.
Well, what are those containers seen at the end that the characters are in? Maybe the bodies are being healed.
Where @@NostalgicGamerRickOShay?
Man who voiced sarge in this game I know Jim Cummings did the other ones but this one sounds different yet awsome
Sounds a lot like the guy from Hatred, lol

This game, even though I never actually played through it, gave me ptsd for army men. But I think I understand it. Still better then Soldiers of misfortune though.
it seems like the VA was dubbed over last second as if Jim backed out, or the developers had intentions of bringing him back to voice the heroes, but something went wrong with the negotiations or something. It seems so odd that this is both a worse version of the story told by Army Men RTS and at the same time also a decent continuation of it with the concepts of molds being expanded on, especially with the implications left at the end that Sarge can just mold all of the green army once again.
Unfortunately this game gets so much hate. Personally this is my favorite army men game. The story is dark and gritty but I think it actually fits well. I believe that what we play and see is how the kid who plays with these army men sees. We start off in sarges hero’s with a kid who just got his army men toys. He uses his endless imagination to creat a story and a world where anything can happen. Then sarges hero’s two where the kid is a little bit more mature. There’s a bit more violence and there’s a tad bit of a more mature tone. Then we get to sarges war. The kid is growing up. He glances at his army men with his teenage eyes. He starts to play and realizes he’s having a harder time using his imagination. He creates a world where it’s sarge and sarge alone with the tans. Therefore making it his war. It’s darker because he’s not a little kid anymore. Innocents has been lost. As sarge takes down malice, the kid puts down his toys. He packs them up and puts them away. Therefore officially ending, sarges story.
This game was sad and depressing.
Never got to beat it back then.
But I was expecting at least a scene with blue soldiers like Bridget. She should've been there to at least comfort him at some point we all know she has the hots for him.
Also, where else could he go? He helped save the blue town in part 2 so it's not like they'd try and kill him. Who knows how many greens are even left? Blue town is his best bet for now.
What if they turnt sarge blue since his nation is destroyed 🤔 btw when sarge left he didn’t see the tubes that the heroes Grimm and Vicki were in so could they have been copies of them or them being remolded into tan soldiers🤔
What a great series 👏
Loved this game growing up 🔥🔥🔥
theres edgy but then theres sarges war, I like it even if its a bit corny at times plus its no were near the edge factor that is shadow the hedgehog so its actually a good game I'm in my opinion
This was one of THE games as a kid. The best. Along with F-Zero GX, Super Smash Bros Melee, etc.
Damn... I forgot how dark this shit got
I loved this game so much
I never understand why they stopped using certain characters in these games... like where is Captain Blade and his crew in this game? The best characters were from the Air Attack games, but they're never seen again in the other games?
I really wish for a remake
El mejor de los juegos de la saga diría yo
Varias armas,distintos tipos de Soldados,vehículos,buenos soundtrack durante el juego,le da una emoción tremenda,una buena trama,una historia muy profunda y seria,que muestra lo que realmente es una guerra,y creo que es uno de los pocos juegos de la Saga Army Men donde juegas contra el Jefe Principal,el Líder Enemigo
One of my favorite games Ever
Some people don't consider this game canon since it's Not made by 3DO and Jim Cummings is not voicing any of the characters
Sarge going full on B.J Blazkowicz
Such a strange way to take a toy soldiers game
Why was this game so dark ??
Damn.. i never knew Sarge's companions are dead,Viki's dead..even Plastro. 😢😱
this is helpful because the weird abandonware version of the game i have doesnt load cutscenes.
The darkest Army Men game...
You left me to die
I thought you were dead
I was alive
😂
I knew I wasn't going to like this when I heard the different voice actors instead of the OGs
Too bad I can't get this to run in the Dolphin emulator. Everytime I've tried it, it gets stuck in an endless loading screen.
@@Jmac5281 Huh, I didn't know that. Thanks for the heads up! :D
The music is insane
This game was awesome!
Loved this game
this game like blink: the time sweeper from the Xbox made me so angry as a kid when i couldnt pass it. the cut scenes in this game were so good. the gameplay and more content could of made it better.
Explosión 5:51 #theloudhouse #nickelodeon #spongebobsquarepants
Played the absolute shit out of this and men of valor as a wee lad
How to make a game about plastic soldiers extremely dark and gritty 101. Such a shame the Army Men series dropped off a cliff after this one
Yeah, this game had a slight tone shift compared to the other ones.
1:13
Army Men is a game where play as a children's plastic toy, why is this depicted as a Vietnam war. Like, lighten up game, this isn't CoD: World at War here.
Ahh simple he explains at the end, war is bad. It killed my buddies and my girlfriend lol.
I laughed alot in this game, you'll be full of bullet holes just still lighting up the tan. Or they try to make a situation disturbing but I couldn't take it seriously because he will be like I can still smell burnt plastic.
The only time I felt bad for someone in this game is when they killed off every hero. I mean c'mon. They killed them off without giving them a cool death scene, or a last line. It's like they just finished reading game of thrones the red wedding and said hey let's do that but kill off literally every single hero leaving just sarge alive. Effectively ending the series after this game. Yeah that pissed almost every army men fan off.
That being said I actually like the games combat and environments. Just a bad story sadly. All of this just my opinion though... lol ;)
@@LoopyLongplays the game tries to be disturbing but honestly I think it's unintentionally hilarious. Right after the cutscene where Sarges team and Vikki all die, the level after features Sarge commenting how "The Fat Lady is here and she isn't gonna sing tonight". His mood just swung to a complete 180 after watching his girlfriend die in his arms. Lmao
but if they do bring it back I think Sarge should be the leader of the green Nation but in the huge world.
But how did they take over are destroyed the green nation in the tan Nation unless they order 66 it and then mocked up the rest of the soldiers of the tan and green but still there will be remnants of the tan and green army and they be other nations.
god i thought this was the coolest shit when i was 7 years old now i just see how edgy it is. everyone i know and love just died, i must FIRE TWO BIG GUNS IN THE AIR BECAUSE I AM UPSET.

I'll admit, I loved this game as a kid, but I know it's not a good game at all. They stripped the charm of the original for a serious cliche war story. The original games didn't take themselves seriously even the ww one. while this one and Major malfunction stained the franchise by killing off Hawk, making this story and all the others pointless.
HOWEVER, Malice was a cool fucking villain!
was this written and directed by a 12 year old?
Travis Hollands no it was marketed for 12 year olds
Has anyone tracked down a writer on this story and asked if that’s the heroes alive at the end ??
Being forgotten ≠ Killing friends and family
Being abandoned and forgotten makes one feel like they have no family, and so they desire to strip the family away from the one who abandoned them.
Really boils my plastic balls that Major Malfunction had the gall do that prologue scene where a "sergeant hawk" model gets "melted in a microwave"... and then the game is nothing like the Army Men or Sarge's games... it's much worse. The Army Men series negative reception has more to do with being released in an unfortunate era of gaming rather than being "bad". Imagine if the idea didnt start until 2015... I feel it would have been much more successful.
This is what Andor and Rogue One looks like to non Star Wars fanboys.
Edit: Oh yeah and don't get me started on those Force Unleashed games.
Uhhhh, just one question, where did you get Star Wars from an old Army Men game?
@@DBWave94 Army Men is a silly child friendly franchise and this game trying to be serious and dark is kinda cringey.
Star Wars is a silly, child friendly franchise and Andor and Rogue one trying to be serious and dark is kinda cringe.
@@nihilisticpancake308 I have to agree with you there, bud. Star Wars has definitely lost its touch post-Disney acquisition, but I feel like that's mostly due to the push for heavy liberal and misandrinistic overtones in everything they've been releasing lately.
Holy crap, that's edgy af
Top ten anime deaths : 5:51
I don't think I heard about this one.
Look like a Sammy Lawrence
