I love how this game depicts Thomas Edison as an actual genius of an inventor. Fun Fact: Thomas Edison wasn't so much an inventor as a thief of other's ideas. Most infamous of which being the light bulb. If anything, he was a genius of a liar.
He had both. He was in love with a pigeon at the end of his life, he told people that he loved her like a wife. Poor man was without sex for all of his life, lived with his mother, was as awesome as he was crazy (which means he had a copious amount of awesomeness), and was in love with a pigeon that he said loved him like a real man and woman love each other.
I love how electrons and protons accumulate at the lightning site before the lightning bolt strikes... It's these little things in games that matter... XD
You''ll be surprised, but lots of things in this game have a base. Nicola Tesla was experimenting with weather controls.(some even say that Tungus Meteorite was his doing) However, he destroyed most of his works before death, fearing that his inventions may serve the wrong purpose.
The day after I saw this video, the History Channel is airing a show on J.P. Morgan and Westinghouse backing Edison's D/C and Tesla's A/C respectively.
I think the reason Mark Twain is narrating is because of Twain and Tesla hanging out before in the past. This game reminds me of something a writer from Cracked would make XD
Actually, he was well known for his love for pidgeons. A particualr pidgeon actually, who as he said "Loved like how a man loves a woman" Yes, might i add this was at the point of his life where he began to go a tad bit mad.
Actually, at that time, there was a state established by modern day Croats - Republic of Ragusa, better known, if you will, as Dubrovnik. So yeah, he was a Croat. And a legit one too.
@kingzach74 And to continue with my rant, WoW is NOT outdated. The recent expansion, cataclysm, not only added a whole flurry of new content, but revamped the entire first part of the game, levels 1-60, with new quests, revamped zones, and a lot more story to get involved with, which WoW is pretty good at. I'm done now.
@sppd100 Electricity doesn't do anything in pure water. The ions from substances that have been dissolved in the water are what carry the current and make water dangerous.
@PavleCar1 Tesla was an inventor and Electrical Engineer who rivaled Edison in a lot of fields, and to be honest, a lot of people would say he beat and surpassed him. Look him up o nWikipedia, you'll get loads of info. he has quite a few modern fans, too. ....and he invented the Energy Weapon
oh yes he picked the charlie parra song! i imagined some sort of that editing! theres is another part with a medival sounding guitar wich could suit azeroth daily well!keep up the good work TB! cheers!
"Pirating" is ok because actual stealing takes a finite good from another person who can no longer utilize the thing that is stolen. "Creative people" ought to be able to find a way to make money without using violence or the threat thereof [period], especially without taking actual scarce goods from people in order to erect virtual barriers to make non-scarce goods artificially scarce.
The cost is unaffected by DLC. The only change there is the profits. Also, what do they want you to believe? I never mentioned the cost of making games in my comment.
Tb,big mistake allowing comments on this video-it spews an old hatred amongst Croatians and Serbs,croatians believe that he was croatian because he was born there,and serbs have their reasons-he was of orthodox fate and he never ever in all his interviews called himselft a croatian,but a serbo croatian,great review i enjoyed it a lot and pls anyone else stop posting comments we already know you're gonna post,thanks..........
I'm probably not going to buy this, but i hope Edison wins. We live in a horrible world where electrical engineering classes are really hard and voltage is expressed using imaginary numbers. Some escapism is really nice.
I think you should do a WTF on "World of Tanks" The Beta finished yesterday and was officially released, Its a free to play game with the option to buy "Gold" for improvements to your tank(s) Seriously, will be a brilliant episode
@caine13 Did not help that the launch was 2-hours shy of a day late, people who spent (stupid) money on gold/tanks did not get their items and the game has gone live without anything like the required tweaking or balancing after 9 months of beta!
Well FYI this was all made with open source products for the most part, I'll give it my worth if it was cheaper. It would do well as a mobile game for the iPhone/Android
@DynamicJul That would be a selfish waste though. Supporting the developers would encourage them to do more, and having the money would encourage them to do something with more graphical prowess, because that's what you're really after.
Ruđer Bošković is considered a Croatian physicist and philosopher even though Croatia didn't exist as a country in the 18th centuary.Please explain that.
Just so you know, the whole AC-DC thing vs Edison is completely true. Even resulting in Edison electrocuting an elephant with AC, to give the impression that it was much more dangerous.
He was born in present day Croatia. He was born to serbian parents, but was not a serb himself. He lived in the time of Austrian Empire, therefore Empire's subject. He held Austrian and then American citizenship. He is, was, and will be, considered American with distant serbian roots.
"Involving the control of the weather and various other things I'm fairly sure tesla was not able to do" YOU DARE QUESTION THE POWER OF NIKOLI TESLA, INTERNETMAN?
lol I know its just a game, but I noticed that when you use lightning the protons and electrons would move around; arent only electrons suppose to move?
@vavan100 There's this useful option I head of called not watching the videos you don't enjoy, it's really handy if you don't want to watch videos you don't enjoy.
To be fair, if Edison had a robot army, that is exactly what he would do.
You must collect additional pigeons.
I always love it when the pigeons deploy, makes me laugh every time
@Thoughtquake THANK YOU SOO MUCH! I've been looking for it for ages!. You sir, are a legend!
I love how this game depicts Thomas Edison as an actual genius of an inventor.
Fun Fact: Thomas Edison wasn't so much an inventor as a thief of other's ideas. Most infamous of which being the light bulb. If anything, he was a genius of a liar.
I'm loving this large dose of WTF we are getting! Keep it up!!!
When you used the research points on full health and then the heart was there, you didn't grab it after you got hit. I loved this WTF is, though!!
nice vid, as always. And also nice that you have implemented the Total Biscuit song of Charlie in your vids ^_^
the rate you are puting out WTF is is awesome!
Notice how TB's started to say "no no no no no" just like Lewis, that's adorable! :3
He had both. He was in love with a pigeon at the end of his life, he told people that he loved her like a wife. Poor man was without sex for all of his life, lived with his mother, was as awesome as he was crazy (which means he had a copious amount of awesomeness), and was in love with a pigeon that he said loved him like a real man and woman love each other.
Nice work TB. Really enjoyed your exclamation of 'Deploy pigeons!' :)
I love how electrons and protons accumulate at the lightning site before the lightning bolt strikes... It's these little things in games that matter... XD
The epic guitar track is Total Biscuit Ballad by the way
love the music at the end of your vid TB!
You''ll be surprised, but lots of things in this game have a base. Nicola Tesla was experimenting with weather controls.(some even say that Tungus Meteorite was his doing) However, he destroyed most of his works before death, fearing that his inventions may serve the wrong purpose.

Really brings history alive, this game.
@LinkofTime27 One thing is the actual reference... the other is fitting the reference with the current situation.
I'm loving all of the WTFs =P
Love that grahic at the end.
@dewakaputo
It's Nikola, not Nikolay lol
I think the reason Mark Twain is narrating is because of Twain and Tesla hanging out before in the past. This game reminds me of something a writer from Cracked would make XD
The soundtrack to this game is really cool
Actually, Tesla did in fact like to keep birds that he found outside his home, and care for them. So the pigeons collection was a reference.
Tesla actually was famous for really liking pigeons... in a kinda creepy way.
He'd often take in hurt ones and nurse them back to health in his hotel room in his later life...kinda weird
kevinKronnack He wanted to marry one. He professed to love it as a man loves a woman. I kid you not.
he raped them
Actually, he was well known for his love for pidgeons. A particualr pidgeon actually, who as he said "Loved like how a man loves a woman" Yes, might i add this was at the point of his life where he began to go a tad bit mad.
The track is from his podcast.
Love the new ending to your show
I love listening to TB . i wish he read books on tape.
Actually, at that time, there was a state established by modern day Croats - Republic of Ragusa, better known, if you will, as Dubrovnik. So yeah, he was a Croat. And a legit one too.
the game is 3.33 right now on their website 9/17/2011
@kingzach74 And to continue with my rant, WoW is NOT outdated.

Using the word Myopic in a video game, completely defused by misspelling "quite" as "quiet" immediately before ti.
Loved the Duty Calls Reference xD
Laughed so hard when Totalbuicut was making the smooth AC joke
6:32 Tesla is well known for raising and training pidgeons, in fact, it is probably what he was most known for...
Although they did use the word 'myopic', they also managed to misspell the word 'quite' in the same sentence.
@sppd100 Electricity doesn't do anything in pure water. The ions from substances that have been dissolved in the water are what carry the current and make water dangerous.
I spat out my drink laughing at 2:35. XD
Brilliant, just brilliant.
BOSS STATUS ACHEEEIVED. lolol you're awesome biscuit
OH DAMN SON HE BE THROWIN DOWN god this is why I love you TB
That is why I used the term in inverted commas, as it is a ridiculous insult ;)
@PavleCar1 Tesla was an inventor and Electrical Engineer who rivaled Edison in a lot of fields, and to be honest, a lot of people would say he beat and surpassed him. Look him up o nWikipedia, you'll get loads of info. he has quite a few modern fans, too.
....and he invented the Energy Weapon
they used the word "myopic" in a video game, but they also misspelled the word "quite" right next to it.
"The short answer to that is: I can't get in there in any way"
That's not short. Silly TB! :)
oh yes he picked the charlie parra song!
i imagined some sort of that editing!
theres is another part with a medival sounding guitar wich could suit azeroth daily well!keep up the good work TB!
cheers!
"Pirating" is ok because actual stealing takes a finite good from another person who can no longer utilize the thing that is stolen.

Haha, Totalbiscuits make every boring game intresting with his talent to speak
The Prestige... That movie made me think Tesla as awesome ^^
The cost is unaffected by DLC. The only change there is the profits.
Also, what do they want you to believe? I never mentioned the cost of making games in my comment.
@TheAranethon "It's not a review, it's a first impressions" -TB
that is correct but he lived in Croatia and then he went to America for college. If u didn't know there is a statue of him on Niaggra falls lol
Put the aperture science weighted storage cube on the 1500 megawatt supercolliding superbutton!
i love the nonononono . . . NONONONO of TotalBiscuit
:D
very cool xD
When he said "insufficient number of pigeons" I immediately thought "you must construct additional pigeons"
Tb,big mistake allowing comments on this video-it spews an old hatred amongst Croatians and Serbs,croatians believe that he was croatian because he was born there,and serbs have their reasons-he was of orthodox fate and he never ever in all his interviews called himselft a croatian,but a serbo croatian,great review i enjoyed it a lot and pls anyone else stop posting comments we already know you're gonna post,thanks..........
I love your new ending !
11:00 damn you TotalBiscuit!
Rip 2022, Still missed.
Onward for greater scientific knowledge!! ;)
Love it!! Moar obscure indy titles reviewed please TB :D
@HaZZoR191 no, it did work until he had to destroy it because he couldnt turn it off
@NanfoodleTB Yes. It is that same Tesla. Also Tesla from Fallout and many other games.
I'm probably not going to buy this, but i hope Edison wins. We live in a horrible world where electrical engineering classes are really hard and voltage is expressed using imaginary numbers. Some escapism is really nice.
I think you should do a WTF on "World of Tanks" The Beta finished yesterday and was officially released, Its a free to play game with the option to buy "Gold" for improvements to your tank(s) Seriously, will be a brilliant episode
WTF is Tesla: The Weatherman?
Its about a weatherman, named tesla.
Thats right, I'll be doing this on all your WTF is videos from now on TB.
Ya know, normally when people go to pirate something for DRM reasons, its for the heavy and ridiculous amounts of it, not for the lack of it...
I know this is an old vid, but didn't anyone expect the hinges on the Edison's chair from the Simpsons ' The Wizard of Evergreen Terrace episode' ?
@caine13 Did not help that the launch was 2-hours shy of a day late, people who spent (stupid) money on gold/tanks did not get their items and the game has gone live without anything like the required tweaking or balancing after 9 months of beta!
did anyone notice that the outro of the video is just fuking awsome?
Well FYI this was all made with open source products for the most part, I'll give it my worth if it was cheaper. It would do well as a mobile game for the iPhone/Android
By the way, the distribution service he talks about is "Desura", not "Despora".
Tesla vs Edison... It's like the developers are in my head. Tesla forever!
@DynamicJul That would be a selfish waste though. Supporting the developers would encourage them to do more, and having the money would encourage them to do something with more graphical prowess, because that's what you're really after.
Ruđer Bošković is considered a Croatian physicist and philosopher even though Croatia didn't exist as a country in the 18th centuary.Please explain that.
I think the voice acting was kind of good given the mood of the game :)
@Fabrazz
what? it's the concept and gameplay that sells indie games not the visuals
I would buy this game for the sole reason of the temperature being shown in Celcius.
@CedricShow or you just wait 3 minutes and watch it on 720p which it's ment to.
i love the ending music.
Pirating is never OK unless its that hard to get a specific game in your country.
"Pirating is never OK unless it is." Great observation.
Side note, why does Mark Twain sound like a drunk black guy from the seventies
At that, a little bundle of sticks, there isn't even enough sticks for a small fire!
@Thane4 They are like 6 or more, Thoughtquake are 2 people.
The new ending is cool!
Just so you know, the whole AC-DC thing vs Edison is completely true.
Even resulting in Edison electrocuting an elephant with AC, to give the impression that it was much more dangerous.
did anyone else think of Amnesia when he was moving the crates in the water at 20:50?
Tesla was born in Smiljan Lika, Croatia but his father was Serbian. My father is Serbian and is obsessed with Nikola.
respect the pigeon - know the pigeon - LIVE the pigeon! :D
gotta love tbs commentary x)
He was born in present day Croatia. He was born to serbian parents, but was not a serb himself. He lived in the time of Austrian Empire, therefore Empire's subject. He held Austrian and then American citizenship. He is, was, and will be, considered American with distant serbian roots.
@totalhalibut what song are you playing at the end? its rather good
17:47
TB: NO! NONONO!
Background: YYESH
OMG ...this is so historically accurate !
"Involving the control of the weather and various other things I'm fairly sure tesla was not able to do"
YOU DARE QUESTION THE POWER OF NIKOLI TESLA, INTERNETMAN?
Tell me what IS that beautiful music at the end?
@hellomoto75 ...Any reason why you just quoted the name of the video?
is there a way to get a download link to the outro song? cause it freakin ROCKS
lol I know its just a game, but I noticed that when you use lightning the protons and electrons would move around; arent only electrons suppose to move?
@vavan100 There's this useful option I head of called not watching the videos you don't enjoy, it's really handy if you don't want to watch videos you don't enjoy.
Pure gold this ...
