Lg makes damn good tvs
5:21 - 5:26 I see what you did there. It got a chuckle out of me, not gonna lie.
Over 2 grand kinda too much for me maybe a later date, looks great tho!
Don’t let quantum see you do tv sponsorships
Gotta love the fact that actman is getting tv sponsorships. That’s a huge dunk on quantumtv

I am thoroughly tickled upon hearing that.

That was a heartwarming sad take for MatPat. Thank you for that.
Bye matpat

Btw for anyone curious it's at 21:50
He knew what he was doing. 🥹
I literally came into the comments to look for someone mentioning it lol
Amazing video th-cam.com/users/shortsLsOpqL_Irew?si=UySdbHyaP263CYp9
The Half-Life 2 Leak is just fascinating to me. It's like an entirely different game. American architecture, underwater Rebel base, the Hydra, Hyperborea, the Wasteland, the Air Exchange...
It was also pretty insane that someone managed to make a mod using the leaked content before the official release of both the game and the dev kit. It speaks volumes of the talent of the modder being able to figure out a buggy game engine that was still incomplete, and make a playable mod out of it almost an year later. It's called "The Thing", and while the gameplay kinda sucks there, it's still pretty incredible it happened.
On ps2 I loved thT shit XD flaws aside
Dark and gritty moment
This reminds me. Back in 2009, early footage of the "No Russian" mission from Modern Warfare 2 was leaked and it was picked up the Daily Mail, basically them blasting the game for daring to go this far. And like the hungry little CoDomite I was back then, I hunted for that footage. Didn't really spoil my excitement for the game though. Same thing happened with Modern Warfare 3 when the mission "Mind the Gap" from MW3 was kinda leaked. Daily Mail had another go at CoD on that also.
You can tell Act Man is loving RDR2 since he's showing gameplay in the sponsor and has the soundtrack in the background of the video, you love to see it
thats making my heart feel good ♥
Shout out for Rockstar scripting and "reactivity" writing. Will get everyone hook 😤
how can you not, the game is great
I cant play rdr2 because there is some issue either on rockstar's end or logitech's end where rdr 2 just does not register logitech mice. I'm gonna have to buy a new mouse one of these days to be able to play
Its major L I've heard alot of good things about the game and I just cant play it currently
Honestly, that thing with the Halo Barn VHS tape and the dude who made it becoming apart of security is fucking GENIUS. It's similar to the story of Catch Me If You Can, and how it ends. What better way to keep our systems secure than to hire someone who got through them? If they can get through them, they know the doors, and they know how to lock em.
I would not trust them, they are the perfect people to create backdoors for more abuse.
Had a friend in college going to school for Electrical/Computer Engineering but he was quite good at hacking. He got a job hacking software for the Oak Ridge National Laboratory so they could fix anything he was able to break/get past. Pretty dope honestly
As someone who sells and installs TVs as part of his job, it's nice to see LG straight up sponsor with a TV because they make great TVs.
Loved the intro, as a dev it is pretty accurate! Leaks can take many shape or form. Back in the days when gaming magazines were a thing, a QA employee got fired because he leaked a video of a crazy elaborate easter eggs that was actually a signed deal between the company and a magazine for the exclusivity. When under an NDA never assume anything and just don't show stuff.
The history of the half life 2 leak is fucking crazy. The entire source code was leaked but finding a compiled playable version was almost mystical. There were screenshots of really broken levels that some managed to get working. Meanwhile literally everyone who was trying to get it to work was paranoid because valve had undercover FBI agents (at least that was a rumor) contacting people spreading the leaked code with it's origin in question. Like, there was one story where a hacker who was spreading the code was getting lowkey threatened by a FBI agent by witnessing some random guy who contacted him defacing a bunch of websites and pulling his name, address and IP. Every gaming forum was on fire with people wanting to get a actual running version of Half Life 2, many claimed to be the original leaker too. Everything got even more crazy when Gaben himself asked the community for help.
Then they tried to bait the actual hacker in coming over to the USA, but the German police got him first.
And to this day HL2 Beta fanboys cry about the leak as it was the sole reason the Beta was scrapped
gotta love how actman managed to make a better TV review than QuantumTV, all he had to do was not complain about the box
I'll never get tired of seeing people dump on this f*cknugget lol.
0/10 the box was too bland
it’s an AD. not a review
@@gaanxddo tv companies run ads on his channel?
True
I think if the Last of Us 2 wasn't leaked, people would actually be more upset, and it would have snowballed worse from there. The people who saw the leaks and were upset at the story didn't have to buy and play the game -- so imagine how much more angry they'd be in the moment it happened. Might be the response the developers were trying to illicit, but it still would have been worse than what we got to see.
Wait. Is that screen shot from an actual love screen in the game? Was there gay sex
Yeah because that story would have been so much worse going in blind
@@kameronjones7139 game is great you on drugs
@@DevTheRay no I realized it was bad because I am sober
@@kameronjones7139 ok, name how it's bad. Everyone is just butthurt because Joel did. That's it. Just salty kids.
Great Video man! I enjoy the mystery behind leaks and trying to find cues about an update for Cyberpunk or the Eldenring DLC but on the other hand I don't want my self spoiled of what the actual content is so I also sympathise with all those deva who got their games leaked.
The Last of Us Part 2 leaks was I think the most outraged people had ever been on the internet.
And some of the most contreversial leaks were fake too because I remember there a rumor disguised as a leak About Ellie dying from Abby but it was turned out to be fake.
A lot of the leaks were from the devs too I believe who were fed up with the working conditions at naughty dog.
and it will never stop being hilarious.....Even more so with the imbeciles who cried about Abbey and a "sex scene" that was literally 10 seconds of a cut scene and you never see anything else. Yet the game still sold 11 million copies.
@@lutherheggs451IT WAS JUST 10 SECONDS!!?
From the outrage I thought it would be 2 minutes
@@toledochristianmatthew9919 Yeah considering how Naughty Dog and Druckmann unnaturally crunched their developers to get this game done, I'm not surprise that one of the developers leaked the game out of pure frustration thanks to Druckmann and co.'s awful decisions
The irony of Act Man being sponsored by LG to review a TV… it’s poetic in some way

@@SL4PSH0CK Same, LG has invented the solution to the flat vs curved monitor debate and deserves to be spread. Now only the lowering of the price is the determinant.
@@acoolrocket yer godamn right 😅

Why is it ironic
You caught me offguard man 😂 21:50
I think that we have unfortunately reached a point where the internet is so ubiquitous that media is going to be leaked more often than not... I miss simpler times when stories like this were rare, and hype was something that we were really allowed to enjoy.
I miss when the hype would actually pay off. The thing you were hyped about actually did deserve so much excitement
@@ImNotFine44 Seriously! The amount of smoke and mirrors in MODERN gaming hype has made me happy leaks exist. The ability to see through the lies and bullshit and be allowed to think for myself if its worth the asking price is great! r/patientgamers is a thing for a reason.
Honestly for me the sad thing is I think not getting hyped is probably for the best for me since I see it as a bad thing these days.
A fun little leak is when D.C. Douglas, the voice actor of Albert Wesker for a few of the Resident Evil games, most iconically RE5, leaked concept art of the RE4 remake Wesker design in a private group chat before the game even got revealed (I think.) He also mentioned separate ways if I remember correctly. Anyhow, Someone in that chat leaked screenshots of him leaking it to them online, and if you were wondering why Wesker has a different voice actor in the remake, you now know why. He later stated his days of voicing Wesker are over, and this is most probably why, and at the very least a large reason why.
Another fun blunder is Dan Southworth, the man who plays Vergil in Devil May Cry, accidentally leaking DMC5 at a panel, although he did it in a vague way, stating that Capcom would be bringing “[Nero, Dante, and Vergil] back”, and he and Dante’s voice actor played it off as a joke (while Nero’s voice actor laughed his ass off in the background.) Interestingly, he never lost his job, although this is probably due to the fact that this was a genuine slip-up rather than an intentional leak (he turned to Dante’s VA after saying what he did and aked “we can say that, right?” The response to which was “no.”) and wasn’t anything substantial like straight up concept art.
Very interesting! I'd never heard about any of this
@@TheActManyeah I’m surprised the leak wasn’t that popular considering the hype behind the RE4 remake
Wonder if the leaker in the private group chat would still have done it if they knew it would screw Wesker out of his iconic voice.
Like, we'll never see him reprise the role after 5 because of that dude. I know the actor posted it but still.
@@OinglorBoinglor50/50 people are gonna mostly put the blame on the actor due to him being the initial leaker, or he gets cyberbullied for screwing the VA over that fans are familiar with
You know it’s a good day when the Act Man uploads

Hell yeah

I wanna thumb this comment but its at 69 and i dont wanna ruin it
Great video act man. I love it when you branch out to other topics of the gaming industry!
I did get a chuckle of when The Act Man said "you want to hear more of that crap?"9:07 lmaooo
That game theory joke just made me tear up again man, way to hit the nail with the hammer there and drive it right into my heart
good riddance.

Don't need to spread the hate tbh, if you hated him that's fine, don't need to throw it out there for everyone to look at. Or is it to seek attention?
why are people startin' to dunk on Matpat?, is something I missed of?
that halo 4 vhs barn leak is absolute gold I couldn't stop laughing at your confusion laying it out for us!
Skid Bluntz the god
When DMs Get Leaked
That subtle dig during the ad was just simply *chef's kiss*
For halo 4. They rebuilt old devkits that had the red ring that had been sent to a landfill. Got the consoles working again, then gained access to "partnernet" which basically was XBL for devs and gave them access to builds across the entire industry of unreleased games.
ModernVintageGamer has a video on the bizarre story behind the leak if anyone is interested!
TLOU2 was asking for trouble the moment Neil decided to straight up lie in the marketing and act like Joel would be more present than he was
@@TookMeAlongTime could have just said that Joel is old and mostly stays in the Jackson so the game is focused on Ellie? The point the OP is making is that they replaced characters in certain trailers with Joel to make him seem like a more prevalent figure.
I haven't played the game, but keeping info withheld can make for great twists.
@@CraigJS91don't act like you guys wouldn't also be like "he lied!!!" if this happened
@@Aspecscubed First of all I will push back on the "you guys" statement. Just because I'm critiquing a marketing strategy of the game you are lumping me in with a group of seething fans that seem to take joy in hating on the game for any reason. That's not me, and making negative assumptions about a person based on your own biases is a bad move. as for the main content of your rebuttal, If Druckmann, when asked about the status of Joel, had just refrained from answering with something like I said earlier or a simple "you'll have to play the game to find out" or something like that, then no I (not one of "you guys") wouldn't have said he lied.
@@TookMeAlongTime In the trailer, they switched Jessie's character model with Joel's and had Troy Baker say "You didn't think I'd let you do this on your own". That is text book false marketing
I was late to the game with The last of us part 2, I went into it completely blind and not knowing anything about leaks and I STILL hated the story. I know there aren't many out there like me who had only played the first game and knew nothing else but I truly believe from an unbiased perspective that the story is hot dogsh*t
Plenty of people out there who didn't see the leaks first and agree with you. Little more complicated than "hot dogsh*t" to me but generally speaking yeah. More like force feeding players a theme through ham-fisted manipulation tactics and knowingly using the characters players are buying the game for as punching bags in order to drive the point. Just mean spirited.
@@CraigJS91 I totally agree but I will always hold up to the believe that the numerous plot holes, plot conveniences and character re-writes add up to a horrible story, 21st century politics and manipulation put aside.
@@alexyeager7995 Well said.
Ok I'd never heard of the game until recently and I played it and it was amazing and I thought the story was really good.
I also played TLOU 2 when it launched. I felt several directions on story was... questionable at best, but I wasn't infuriated like others. I think it's because I wasn't emotionally attached to the first TLOU like many others. I thought the entire discourse was mostly stupid.
Respect for the "once upon a time" reference regarding contracts and Rumpelstiltskin.
Top usage of popular culture references ♥
I think its impressive that a game as highly anticipated as sparking zero never got leaked for like 5 years
Even if someone got inside info on it, they probably didn't believe it to leak it online.
“Budokai 4??? Nah this gotta be some honeypot or somethin I ain’t clicking that file”
The devs were smart enough to use a different name from the series
I think when games gets leaked ,people who created those games should use the situation to their advantage.Use those leaks to create even more hype or expectations because that is the only reaction that will help with a situation.
Why stop there? Release the game prematurely and let the hype for the updates explode!
Unless the leak means people have your game or source codes or other private information that can be made public, which is a lot of cases
This could work in some situations tho idk if it would've worked with The Last of Us 2 hahaha
@@bluethan806 you deal with that separately of course,but things with media,hype and all that stuff around games needs to be used to their advantage
@@TheActManyea that one is hard to change but maybe if they did some extra content like bundle after game is released or something of that nature
This was a really well-done video! I enjoyed it very much and would like more videos like this.
I genuinely love act man's scripts. They are so good and have so much nuance, with set ups and payoffs that if you manage to catch, give so much more interest and depth to these vids.
Never stop dude, keep em comming
thank you for the very kind words! Seeing comments like this makes it worth putting the extra effort into videos!
Until we find out they are plagiarized 🤣🤣🤣 (hopefuly joking 😅)
One thing I can say about The Last of Us Part 2 is that one TH-camr definitely didn’t want to finish the game because of Joel’s death. His name is CoryxKenshin. People who watched him and his video could understand that he didn’t see the leaks, was genuinely shocked by that event and after that event he said “I don’t wanna play this game anymore”.
But it’s only one guy’s opinion. It was to point out my side that no matter if the games get leaked or not, SOME people would still have the same opinion on this game.
Honestly Cory quits random games series sometimes and forgets to upload the next part like spider-man or minecraft
There was also one Korean streamer that is a big fan of Joel and saw him as a father figure in a way. So after the death scene, he actually grabbed a pair of scissors and cut the disk in half
@@thelast749 my stupid brain made me read this as “cut his dick in half” 😂
@@BigDeal_261 he never finished Cry of fear either
I think everyone in general disliked TLoU 2, nothing more to it than that. Just a lousy game, and an even more lousy TV Show.
I think leaks do a lot less harm than publishers think. Unless the playable version of the finished product is leaked or the game is destined to be divisive. For example I think the HL2 leak had absolutely no negative effect on the game's sales while the TLoU2 leak saved a lot of people from one of gaming's worst bait and switch which is a good thing.
The only people who give a shit are marketing people and fuck those guys anyway. Like what was the WIP GTA6 leak going to show anyway? OMG! Its an open world game with shooting an carjacking in it! What an eye opening experience! :/ And then theres the Insomniac leak which just showed everyone how much journalists and youtubers shill for Sony. "Oh the Insomniac leak is so terrible! We shouldnt talk about it too much because they are more than just developers. They are OUR FRIENDS!" Wow, if only they felt the same way for the Capcom, M$, and NVIDIA leaks.... *rolls eyes*
It just puts into perspective how corrupted and incestuous the gaming media landscape has become. Like Hollywood media basically, theyre just so much in bed with each other, how can we take their reviews and insights into gaming seriously when its this obvious how much they shill for each other?
Its an artistic integrity thing
this was a trip, all the way back in time THANKS
The last of us leak was a hellstorm the likes the gaming industry might never experience again. All mixed with all of us being quarantined at the time, this was truly an event that shook everyone.
Common Last of us 2 L
and thank god for it
Did give us plenty of memes though, so there is that at least
Terrible writing from a terrible person got a very deserved comeuppance. Always remember that THIS is the shithead who pushed Amy "I wrote The Legacy of Kain" Hennig out of Naughty Dog.
I honestly feel so bad for insomniac. Early footage of Wolverine and their next 6 years worth of projects was bad enough but personal information on their employees? Like c’mon man
Right?
But, man, is it motivation for me to try to put in my application for director of the upcoming Ratchet and Clank while there's still time!
Same thing with capcom
@@wiredtardis better start thinking of a dirty joke to put as the game’s subtitle then
And now a playable(not great) version of Spiderman 2 For Pc is in the web.
I'm a simple man. Act Man uploads, I sit, watch and enjoy. Keep it up Sir!
Poetic justice that Act Man gets sponsored by LG TV. Quantum Karma! Thanks for always delivering the highest level content! You deserve all the TVs bro.
"Now I'm no TV calibrator".... I see what you done there and it was amazing!! 😂
Amazing video, keep up the great work.
I’ve considered it a lot since TLOU2 came out, and I still think that it would have gotten a lot of hate regardless of a leak. That game was just destined to divide the fans, and I still can’t bring myself to replay it despite having spent weeks of my life playing the first game.
Same.😊
The first couple hours would have caused the same fracturing as the leaks did, I am convinced that wouldn't have happened.
@@chriswihuluthe difference is that more people would have bought it
@@Majinhero oh, absolutely! Which is why I am leaning more and more into the idea, that the altered cutscenes in the Story Trailer, were specifically done to try and win over the ones, who had gone from "day 1 purchase" to either "wait and see" or "never buy".
It came to me at the time as a protest of the Dev who leak it.
Honestly, very thankful for that Last of Us 2 leak, saved me 60 big ones.
You popped up on my recommended, glad you did. You my good sir have a new sub loved the video.
Gratz on the LG sponsorship 👍
I managed to avoid TLoU2 leaks and spoilers, yet I still hated what they done to the characters and the fact that I had to play as Abby half of the game, not to mention the fake trailers they put out, getting angry just thinking about it, fuuuuuck! But I agree, no devs deservs the leaks and getting hacked. The companies on the other hand... I don't know, all the predatory and anti-consumer bulshit they do lately, it's hard to sympathise when they are blatantly trying squeez as much money out of people as they possibly can, some even target kids with that bs so the morality of it all fades to "I don't really give a damn any more" for me.
I managed to avoid TLOU2 spoilers up until this video. insane I know but I am usually careful about turning things off and not reading further. I know its been years but I havent been able to get a PS and I am gutted we didnt get a spoiler warning on this vid. @villiamkovac4787 @TheActMan
@@bradlonkey3224 I am sorry to hear that, but as you said, it's been years and you could have stoped watching as soon as the topic of TLOU2 come up, just to be sure you see no spoilers, still, feels bad man.
I was glad The last of Us part 2 was leaked. Their ads for the game was nothing but false advertisement. 😂😂
You're no longer the act man,but the TV salesman because I'm am so sold on that TV!😂
I'm glad leaks never get to me, I'm always dodging them. It's really cool to see a video but the act lad talking about them!
TLOU 2 leaking was the best thing I ever saved money on
I was looking for a comment like this to make.
Only people that are media illiterate hate TLOU 2
@@Johnspartan296what are you basing that on?
@@Johnspartan296 Ahh yes. "Muh media literacy"
Yep I would've brought it day 1 and regretted wasting my money on it.
Ill be honest the tlou2 leaks saved a lot of us 60 plus dollars, The gta 6 leaks were just confirmation of what was suspected and the insomniac leak was devastating damage to the company
I am so glad I wasn't chronically online and completely missed the last of us part 2 spoilers. That was a hell of a ride, probably one of my favorite gaming experiences in recent memory.
Crazy how I love the Act Man’s videos so much I can watch them back to back for hours he’s just unbiased
Plot leak aside, the marketing surrounding TLOU Part II was just so insanely manipulative and dishonest.
Fabricating scenes and character models for the trailers means that you *know* your product won’t sell half as well if people know what it’s really about.
Warning Signs right there!
And they (those at the top) deserved to fail!
Maybe it’s about surprising the fans? Just like many scenes in MCU trailers are completely different or none existent in the end product.
Metal gear solid 2 did the same thing but worse
@@delta2ish Kojima was actively trying to kill the MGS franchise since MGS2, and he has not been shy about that.
Probably not the smartest idea to try and emulate a guy trying to find the neck on the studio so he can get it fit for a noose.
@@delta2ish narrative vise maybe, but they didn't alter any of their in-game cutscenes or slip in scenes that make it appear as if a character has a role, when they're actually dead.
Dick move, but not the same.
The irony of TheActMan doing a tv sponsor read is not lost on us
I got to go to E3 once - Ubisoft invited me as one of their community ambassadors back in 2014 and it was an experience I will truly never forget. RIP E3 :( I just wish I got to go again.
i love how half a second of vSauce music and a quick edit can achieve so much
21:53 that really got me. I was expecting it, but it still got me good.
I would also like to mention the Nintendo Gigaleak, which is one of the least harmful, but one of the most interesting leaks we ever gotten. To learn that L was in fact real after all this time is just awesome.
Act Man, just wanted to say that your videos stay consistently entertaining. Whenever I see a new video uploaded by you I alway, without fail, instantly click it and watch the whole thing in one sitting. Keep it up, you're one of the genuine great youtubers currently on the platform, and your consistency will surely be rewarded. I've been watching youtube videos since I was a kid, I've seen how the cycle works so far. You are big now and will keep getting bigger if you just keep going. I get the sense in every video you have a genuine interest in what you're talking about and the effort you put into them show. Thank you for your work dude!
I think the Last of Us 2 leak was a good thing, even for Naughty Dog. For how bad the backlash was, it would have been tenfold if people paid money game and experienced it for themselves.
As soon as you said that all the sadness returned to haunt me once more… 21:53
Gonna miss matpat
I remembered when I was on Discord with my boys back at 2020, one of them was go off in the call so I asked what wrong. He told me that TLOUP2 was leaked online and was pissed, unfortunately I was curious so I asked for the first 5 mins of story, when he told me that Joel was immediately killed....I wanted to throw up, after that he told me everything and I was sick to me stomach. After the game released I never understood why naughty dog made the game the way it is...to this day I still don't understand, what's worse is the fact some of my friends thinks is a great game (more power to them) but I don't think they'll fully understand the disappointment I had when watching the credits play....
5:20 slightly surprised we didn't poke fun at "another" tv calibrator in this lovely-written ad! 🤭🤭
I see you, @TheActMan Really enjoying the music of RDR2.. A Quiet Time 😂. That chapter really got my blood pumping. What a piece of art.
I'm glad I listened to those leaks on the last of us 2, man it saved me money that's for sure
I think what threw people off the most about the Naughty Dog leak was not how big or controversial it was regarding Joel, but how Sony and Naughty Dog responded.
Copy-Right Strikes against ANYONE who even discussed the leaks, without even showing them. Creating a new trailer that shows Ellie talking to Joel but in the game the conversation was with a completely different character thereby creating false advertising, and even Neil Druckman personally attacking fans of the franchise who didn't like the direction the game was going based on the leaks.
It wasn't just the magnitude of the leak that was shocking, it was how over the top Sony and Naughty Dog were in response to them.
Of course sony would take action on A COMPLETE STORY LEAK to one of their BIGGEST GAMES.
@@NoName...... To the point of copy-right striking channels that don't even show anything from it? Just mentioning it?
That is over the top and way beyond the pale.
Yeah I forgot to mention that they did that! Good point
They didn't just change around who Ellie was talking to, they also went ahead and took one of the Flashback Cutscenes, changed both Ellie and Joel's character models from their younger flashback selves, to their current day models, to indicate Joel was still alive.
Not even Metal Gear Solid 2 and it's Raiden/Snake switch up did that, I know, cause those who defend this move, all seem to use that example, but it still doesn't compare.
@@chriswihulu Exactly! They knowingly engaged in false advertising to try and say the leaks were wrong all the while knowing that once the game came out it would prove the leaks were correct.
I laughed out loud so many times in this video. Thank you
Act man totally knew what he was doing to Quantum with that TV sponsorship 😂
The Star Rail and Genshin update leaks are so helpful for F2P players. Knowing if characters are worth it long before they release is so helpful.
The subreddits are also ironically very good at keeping actual spoilers hidden so you don’t accidentally see them.
Yeah.
Something I won't ever forgive about the last of us 2 leaks was how it fractured the fanbase. The leaks made so many people very angry. Not just because it spoiled the game for us, but because it was a story we didn't find to be very good. Which is would later the thing I wouldn't forgive the game for doing. The leaks caused a fracture, but the game itself completely split the fans in half. The Last Of Us 2 single handedly ruin my feelings towards any future Last Of Us related media. Shout out to Fat Geralt tho
I remember there being an interview where Neil said that some fans of the first game may like the second game and some may not. In a way he was warning us about what this story could be.
@@Aiman-yu6qg It's almost like he should've listened to testers instead of firing them when they kept telling him they didn't like Abby and they didn't like his attempt to pivot the franchise to center on her.
I’m grateful for those leaks. If I hadn’t seen the spoilers I might have actually bought the game.
i accully appreciate what they tried to do with the story, i feel it was very impactfull.... BUT, a big BUT, He should have never done this story with this franchies... druckman should have made a new IP, most people wanted to see if ellie really was imune and her journey to finding out. Also while i really liked the game and yes the thought behind the story, what i really disliked was how much plotarmor alot of characters had in situations they should have been dead in... And most important, the theme was just to damn heavy. it is a videogame after all, need to be fun.
At least the TV show adaption of TLOU 1 was good
My guy is getting TV sponsorships! 😍😍 Well deserved 🎉🎉
TheActMan actually having a tv sponsorship and reviewing it is making QuantumTv mad in his boots
Been watching your videos for a little over a year now and just gotta say you out together outstanding videos. The way you talk and edit them is so entertaining and your passion for halo is what got me watching you consistently. Keep up the good work
Thank you! I appreciate that!!!
Imagining the pain of working on a video game for such a long time and then it gets leaked
Imagine working on a game that is so different from anything anyone in the industry had ever seen, only to find out that your studio is now owned by an investor that doesn't know a thing about the art, but still expects you to pull in 7-figures year over year with advancement in the growth.
I mean id be annoyed but why would I care. Its free exposure and I'm getting paid anyway.
No
@@Walter_StroudI'ma coomer I don't go by that rule.
Who cares i would just use it to create even more hype for a game,as a company i would even "create" a leak and put the best gameplay or some wild reveal that would shock the players.
Might have to look into that TV. Thanks actbro!
'I'm no calibrator'
Nice dig at that other guy 😂😂😂
Hey act man just wanted to say I love watching you play rdr2, brings me tons of laughs
Thanks! Got another stream coming up this weekend :)
@@TheActMan holy shit I didn’t think you’d actually reply, I love your videos man, the first video of yours I watched was why dark souls is a masterpiece, it’s my favorite video of yours, perhaps even my favorite. Keep up the good work, I look forward to seeing your rdr2 stream this weekend
I love that this man gets to do an ad for a TV after the stuff he went though. Love The Flex lol Keep up the great work as always Act Man. Can't wait till the next one.
Your editing gets better and better.
To be fair you've gotta be high to think Starfield is a good game 😂
I somehow managed to avoid all the TLOU2 leaks and decided to stream a few hours before it’s midnight launch. One of the first chat messages I got was “Hey did you see that leak where *INSERT GOLF SCENE*?”
I was less than thrilled
another class act! the days always better with some Act Man content
i get irrationally pumped when I hear the tales of music kicks in
22:00 the game theory quote hit me right
I remember when the story got leaked for the last of us 2, people got mad because how the story was gonna go
I did not see anything cause i didn’t want to spoil myself. I bought it to see it for myself and I am still waiting for my $60 dollars back
(I know I will never get it back)
Then Sony was prohibiting people to talk about the second half of the story. I did not finish it cause I was offended
The acting male has blessed us with an upload. By the nine! You really make quality content, bubba. Appreciate you immensely.
“Now I’m no TV calibrator” 😆 I see what you did there.
Awesome vid as usual 👌. Man its hard to believe how common leaks have been happening lately, its nuts. I've never seen that Halo VHS leak before and i gotta say i was laughing my ass off at that 🤣 . Cant believe he actually got hired to 343s security. What a wholesome ending that was lol
Honestly I like to think that the dude that leaked information about last of us 2 was trying to warn us to not get the game.🐱
Great video, as per usual. Was half expecting to hear about pokemon leaks for games like sun/moon. (those were pretty nuts in terms of fan base reactions if memory serves correctly) Also... smh I can't believe our boi decided to review TVs, such a *quantum* leap from what I've come to expect from him
I wasn’t sure about my sub to you Act Man until you used the NIU football clip. You got me hook, line, and sinker
The thumbnail changed 😢
LG sponsorship is huge! Congrats @TheActMan
"now Im no TV calibrator"
*War flashbacks*
