You have such a perfect vibe that resonates with me quite a bit and I’d be very happy to include it in my new videos. If i have to pay for it I’d be totally cool with that man.

    I'm pretty sure I've seen almost all of your videos at least once at this point.
    After busting a (g/n)ut laughing at the return of _Jake Generican, Small Town American_ and _The Translator_ (who seems to be doing it big with Aphex Twin all the time) I realized how much the THHCU has developed over the years. The running gags are so rewarding and fucking hilarious that I'm almost inspired to fire up ye old -Sony Vegas 10 the premiere choice of pirates- uh, editing software! And uh, make a supercut of every aside featuring your BEAUTIFUL artwork.
    The characterization and drip-feed of _the memes,_ authentic cuisine mainlined into my system, is intoxicating.
    So, since I gib you bux on Patreon and buy your music for more than 1$
    _would you be cool if at SOME point I made a supercut of all of these characters and the scenes you have featuring them: every instance as best I can dig and find?_
    Hope to see more content soon--maybe keep stuff simple, despite COOL Y JAPAN X being a huge source of views. Algorithm must like the taste of it.
    Cheers.
    _(Oh, and been banging In The Rough and Umurangi pretty damn hard and often as of late--got some damn good shit. Don't stop: You might like Ametsub, Amon Tobin, Akufen and Ryoji Ikeda's "Dataplex" if you got time to listen to some albums I love and feel resonating within your music too. "Nothings Of The North" by Ametsub would be a good album to start getting into him with. Akufen has a micro-house GOAT album "My Way" that has aged so ffiiiine. Amon Tobin definitely well known enough for you to make your own judgement_
    *And Ryoji Ikeda's "Dataplex" album.. well, listen to it all at once with full attention.. glitch masterpiece. Never stops flowing.)*

    What's funny is that Critical Velocity has Ridge Racer 5 Soldat Crinale car and the iconic Sunny Beach aka Seaside Route 765 race course you've probably missed it on 15:31. You can easily identify the road layout on the world map of Priyo City and also it has Pac Man car as well in this game. Could've been great if anyone manages to make an English patch and fixes the glitchy cutscenes on PS2 emulator.

    I just want to say that watching your videos brings me great sadness and happiness as well. On one hand, I looked at these old games and they were my fond memories. I still do own a ps2. I do also play old dos games back then. Now, I also feel sad because those times were sweet memories. I dont know how to describe it but it hits me right at the core and it makes me so sad especially those older games like those on the pc98 might be forgotten by the newer generation.

    i don't mean to be that guy, but i don't think you understood what jojo's bizzare adventure: golden wind was trying to do as a video game. knowing that you haven't watched the anime or read the manga, espically for part 5 (golden wind) i don't blame you. but i do think the statemants you made about the game weren't entirely fair either.
    this game completely relies on your knowledge of the golden wind. it's not a fighting game, but more of a puzzle game. the controls and fighting were designed like that on purpose to replicate golden wind's stand battles. the hidden mechanics of every boss fight prove that, and the secrect factors are only knowable if you have seen the anime or read the manga.
    you can see how it would be enjoyable when this game first came out, and knowing how to beat every boss and unlock all the secret factors because you had read the manga before the game was released. and this game came out before the internet was prominent, making YOUR knowledge of the part all that more important and rewardable.
    great video though!

    The song you're talking about at 19-20 minutes in is a big meme in Japan, it shows up in reality TV shows and other sorts of entertainment TV. It's the theme song from the legendary 仁義なき戦い series which retells the somewhat romanticized stories of real yakuza members and groups. All of them are translated under the name "The Yakuza Papers" and are an incredibly great watch.

    Fun fact: The GioGio PS2 game was actually planned to release overseas, but got cancelled for unknown reasons. A possible reason is because JoJo use real life Western songs, artists to name the characters and Stands, they faced with copyright threat from Prince's lawyers since Gold Experience is named after Prince's song, that's why in the current jojo anime and Jojo games the localizers/subbers use localized name to prevent from the copyright issues.

      @@thorhighheels I see, I've already heard people from most European country refer to colonialism as the "golden age" but its usually to say that it was a good period for the country (or company) growth and economics.
      That said it can also mean a lot of things like refer to the age (people over 50yo are often said to be in their golden age) and even if its used to describe an effect of colonialism I find it weird to stop using the term just because of its affiliation, if people used the term "positive era" instead of "golden age" would you stop using the words positive era for exemple ?
      After all golden age can just be used to describe a period of time you find close to perfect so of course people that loved colonialism for some reason will use the term but its not an issue with the words or the concept in itself.
      Like you said there can be a lot of golden age be it for movies music genre...people can link it with basically anything so I don't see why it would automatically be linked to colonialism.
      And you're saying theres many golden age not only the greek one but thats not really the issue here, first there wasn't even a greek golden age, its just where the term comes from and that's why its important, its basically an idea/concept first and wasn't really linked to anything and then people started to use it to reference different periods in time, the origin of words or concept is always what matter the most, not how people use it.
      That said I'm not Dutch and if this is really used a lot over there in this way then I can understand why using it may sound weird.

    I know we talked about frames being the cover of a game for rain, but Boku No Natsuyasumi really hits that mark home. Freaking stunning, gotta love the attention to detail of the puddle rippling as you drive the bike through

    While the video is a little older, I have to say: Finally someone is making a translation for the first Boku no Natsuyasumi, while is the blurry and zoomed PSP version, is better than nothing. They're are actually making the text on the horizontal(something that I thought wasn't possible). Lets hope that they manage to complete, which could lead to the translation of the rest of the series.
    At least when comes to new games in the series, Millenium Kitten is making that shin-chan game that seems to play in a similar way to the boku games (apart from what seems to be fetch quests)
