Fellas, fellas. I started conceptualizing this episode around May of 2017! I even thought to myself: "Man! It would make sense if the Angry Video Game Nerd did an episode on Polybius for Halloween. That sure would kinda way past blow because I want to do an episode on Polybius this Halloween!" Of course right when I finished the script for this, he uploads his episode on Polybius! James did an outSTANDING job this year on the Polybius episode, and so did Ahoy on his video, and even the Gaming Historian on his video! I still think mine is pretty different from all of theirs, I mean none of them have a walking Polybius cabinet. Just wanted to say: I think loads of people have made some pretty stellar Polybius videos this year. I've been planning this one for a while, it really truly was a coincidence that this year everybody happened to make a Polybius video. See ya next Sunday!
Fun fact: There’s at least one wattpad fanfiction about Polybius x Reader. It’s where a girl gets really deep into playing the game and the arcade cabinet decides “yeah sure she seems cool i wanna date her” and it’s cursed
idk when this particular Wattpad fanfic was made so I might be incorrect with the dates, but could this have inspired the visual novel Arcade Spirits? Since that game also had Polybius arguably integral to its plot (where a pop star girl was so into arcade games, she didn't care if her music career flopped and just wanted to play a game called Polybius and was reported to have died while holding the cabinet's controller, and the protag later on does find out the pop star's soul was also wooed to stay inside the game)
Polybius is said to be so addictive that people couldn't stop playing it. But we know it's impossible to make such game (even though some appear to be quite addictive to certain games), because otherwise EA would have made such game.
There's this documentary about Polybius by a TH-camr called ahoy that is about 1 hour long and it is the best TH-cam documentary i've ever seen. It's a must watch video about Polybius
AVGN: Serious Horror elements with him getting turned into a jumpscare by the machine Scott: Makes Polybius look like a joke by having it grew legs and walk.
@@MrYoYoBoBoChaddyInsaneZhangII You assume he only has one, where I (The avid viewer) know he has a whole collection of hearts in a storage cooler in his bedroom.
I actually thought this urban legend was true, believe it or not. It was just so creepy yet interesting, and the fact that it had to relate to videogames makes it even more so, like with Ben Drowned and Petscop. But like Scott said, the more you think about, the more and more holes begin to crop up... The end of the video had me dying though.
Gravuun ah, a comment from back before Scott blew up from a combination of being able to kinda get used to conforming with the TH-cam algorithm and a shout out from JonTron and now Scott is steadily making his way to the 1 million mark!
Dude I could've sworn I saw you with 1,000 subs exactly a week ago and now you have nearly 20,000!!! I freaking knew you were going somewhere. Congrats!!!
One of my favourite videos from Scott. Optimal blend of informative and funny, especially loved the moving cabinet and the jab at all the gamepastas at the end with the watermelon!
This was nice and satirical, hope most people get it and don't jump fast into conclusions. Btw, I just love that final chime/jingle you use as an outro, where is it from?
Does anyone else hear the music kick in at 1:18 and get reminded that SBFP are gone and so are future Shitstorm episodes? Man, I'm watching Scott to get over them breaking up and there's reminders of them even in this video.
Scott, you're awesome! You have the quality of bigger YTers like PBG or Brutalmoose. I personally would get rid of or reduce the blue border around the screen to make it look a bit more professional. Keep up the good work, dude!
I feel like this joke is just heavily underrated: "Luckily, I was diagnosed with a little thing I like to call street smarts." Then proceeds to: - Retrieve a BAT out of a CORN FIELD (makes absolutely no practical sense to even look for one there. There goes "street-smarts.") - Use the BAT as a SPEAR (yet another "not street-smart at all" moment.) - And finally... The sound effect of the BASEBALL BAT being used as a SPEAR... Is the one of a bowling ball hitting some pins. And this dude was like what? 20 (at the time)? In all honesty, I think Scott has some serious writing skills.
Everytime I click on his channel Im greeted to this video and its not even his most popular video. Wonder if Scott was just too lazy to change it Edit: It has now sadly been replaced by the game boy color video
This is the video that made me subscribe to the channel, a little over 4 years ago. Can't believe how far Scott has come since then - I never expected his channel to become so big, or for his content to make it to TV, or for him to produce an officially licensed Monopoly set based on his content. Huge congrats to him!
I haven't been watching your videos for as long as some others here, but honestly: You're one of the most entertaining TH-camrs I have ever come across, your videos are like a rollercoaster man. Keep it going!!
I started watching StW from this vid when this was a new video at the time and here we are @ 1 mil subscribers, i liked how short and simple his videos seem, but also so funny and much energy and charisma
This is the amazing thing about your content, even if I think I wont care for the video based on the title; it still ends up being funny and enjoyable. Keep up the great work Scott, and DFTBA.
I like how the AVGN’s episode on Polybius got more creepy overtime, and was genuinely scary. And then Scott the Woz just makes a video of him hitting the cabinet with a baseball bat, burning the cabinet, and containing the souls in a watermelon.
I'm rewatching this after watching Ashens and the Polybius Heist and I think the Polybius did a great job in both projects! Truly an up and coming actor we should keep our eye on
I saw this one -TH-cam video- documentary that talked about polybius. I can’t remember the name of the channel. It was something pirate.* Great video. It dove into the mystery and where it came from 10/10 would watch again. It was a 52 minute -TH-cam video- documentary. Should watch guys *EDIT: the channel wasn’t called something pirate, it was called ahoy.
1:08 I really did click on the video thinking "So many other people have already talked about Polybius but this time it was Scott so why not?" I'd say you read my mind if this video wasn't two years old. However, your video was the best, Scott. Skit, basic info, "it's not real", skit. Did I mention that it's also the shortest? Way to not beat that dead horse, Scott!
I don’t know why, but Scott stabbing a watermelon to the rhythm of Flower Field in the intro feels so satisfying. Even if he didn’t stab it during the “meme” part
Watching this in July so I have the reverse of his time perception. Now Halloween is in JULY! Why not have Halloween twice? Summerween makes sense as a concept!
"Have you truly run out of ideas?" "Well yeah just don't say it like that." It takes determination and balls to keep firing on all cylinders five years after you've run out of ideas. Kudos to you, Scott.
