One thing to note : To the average person, Aztechnologie is a very nice corporation, they basically feed the world (owning stuffer shack and others food oriented firm), they heal the world (trougth Medicarro and other medical firm) and doing all sort of good things for the people. Common people see this firm as their caring mother, the true nature of the corporation is not know to the general public (and AZT spend billions to keep it that way), it can sometime lead to funny interactions (as Aztechnologie being bad is common knowledge in the shadows)!
Well, EVERY SINGLE Latino mother is like that - everybody likes them, she always ask if you ate (and has an aneurysm if you say "no"), but EVERYBODY who truly knows what happens in the shadows fears whenever she gets angry and brings to the fore her mightiest weapon: la chancla.
*whispers in your ear*
Beware of la chancla...

I have my big tent pitched. Talk Shadowrun to me, chummer.
I'm definitely pitching a tent. More Shadoweun lore
did you know you're not supposed to run in campgrounds? the correct term is ran, since it's past tents (past tense)
Saeder-Krupp sounds like the best kind of hell.
until you get eaten by a dragon ... (A realy cool and fancy dragon at least)
Im Schatten der Ringe lebt ein Drache
Arch Shadowrun
Can't wait for the one-hour-long video chock full of Burgerkrieg's descriptions of Aztechnologies' aesthetic.
i read this as 'ben ten' 3 times before realizing.
Haven’t played since 4th ed but it *sounds* like NeoNET finally got what was coming to them
I was thinking it would be fun to play a runner whose day job is in Aztechnologies; one of his main contacts would be in their Department of "Human Resources." (Because if you want to play an Evil Runner, what better contact could you have than a Corporate HR department?)
So to the other runners he might appear as a nice guy with a moral code who typically uses non-lethals to capture enemy guards and employees alive, and occasionally sending them to someone for questioning/interrogation - but really he's just gathering people for recruiting, experimentation, and/or ritual blood magic for kickbacks in Nuyen and other supplies/perks. He will also call ahead to ensure that the job doesn't involve any of their assets - and if it does, to possibly make arrangements to protect Aztechnologies assets and make the job burn the Mr. Johnson that is working against them (like hiring expendable outside security at the time of the job, planting falsified "pay-data" that will lead the Mr. Johnson into a trap if acted on, planting hidden trackers on whatever goods are to be delivered, etc.) or possibly if those arrangements can't be made he'll find a way to believably botch the job.
Outside of that, he has no qualms about hitting any other Corp. for any other Johnson to earn a few extra Nuyen on the side.
If I really wanted to go Meta, perhaps Troll might be the appropriate choice.
As an HR profissional, I am hurt
@@Sage2000 Mate, you got me with that one, that's a solid joke, my neighbour heard my laugh. Someone in HR with ability of empathy.
Wait a second. Lofwyr is just dragon Bismarck. Really nice to the lower classes to keep the loyal but uses them as an asset and walks over other corporations (polititions) if he has to to achieve his goal.
man shadowrun must be the most underrated thing ever. All that lore all that universe and ıt cant even dream the levels of fame like warhammer or dnd.
I only know the pc rpg games. And I love the settings in those. Not sure if I even heard of a group playing it as a tabletop.
you should fathom how much lore there is for The Dark Eye, now that is truly wild
@@lakkakka hell, ı learned about warhammer (40k then fantasy) thanks to memes. Shadowrun needs a active community first.
TheBurgerkrieg googled it. Never knew there was a game like that from so close by home. But is it any good. But the title in Dutch made me go like ehh doesn’t sound great. “Het oog des Meesters” it sounds so corny.
Eh thinking of it. “Kerkers en Draken” doesn’t sound great either. “Schaduwloop” at least sounds ok.
watching this video and seeing NeoNET isn't part of the big 10 anymore made me remember a game i played. my character, BP, was a technomancer and he was going to set off a bomb that NeoNET had in their HQ because of their crimes against his fellow technomancers. In reality his friends were able to convince him there was no way he would be able to blow them up without also blowing up his friends (he did not care about his own safety) so the bomb never went off.
learning this, i don't want to know the real reason NeoNET is gone. in heart it is because there is a timeline in which Arrow and Kl4y couldn't stop BP and that bomb not only crippled G.O.D., but destroyed NeoNET.
That musk comparison aged great, lol
I generally like your content but i really love the one in 3 months or so Shadowrun videos. You really are a wiz shadowrun loremaster...
I was wondering how Midwest college sports factored into Shadowrun
This video straight up convinced me to give Shadowrun a second chance. I played the beginning of the first cRPG in the 2010s, and I appreciate additional context. Thanks for your videos by the way, I just discovered them! Your delivery is awesome and content is amazing. I find myself rewinding some of the parts just to make sure I got all the fascinating details.
Shadowrun Lore indeed gives me a huge ol bonar
*not racist anymore*
I really want to put that in my twitter bio.
Don't, they'll look you up and you'll get fired for saying something when you were a teenager.
@@Marinanor Don't worry. I'm not a teenager and I don't use twitter. I just really found the idea funny for some reason.
Do ittttttt. Start the fire brother!
Your series is the best on TH-cam for Shadowrun, I recommend your vids to all my friends and any new players to my wack ass d20 version of Shadowrun.
These are a real pallet clenser
I've been looking at Shadowrun as the halfway point between my hyperfixation of Cyberpunk and my hyperfixation on DnD.
After watching this video my ideas for a group of mega-corps headquartered on a matrishoka world capital of a Kardeshev 2.5 civilization is giving me way more confidence. Hearing a similar idea play out and still sound awesome gives me hope and I really wanna get this done, thanks fam.
"the alternative is to be eaten, by a dragon" going to make a note of that.
There is also the fact that Aztecnology has managed to assassinate multiple dragons. So there's that too.
Thank you, Burger for showing me this book series and its lore, firsthand. I got the first volume (aka the first 3 books) on Amazon Kindle for 99 cents. Can't wait to read this one. First I need to finish reading Dr. Michael Savages book "Stop the Coming Civil War" and from another author, "War Eternal," along with a few magazines I backlog on.
I actually started reading into more Shadowrun lore, þe "goblinisation" event is quite interesting.
thorn moment
I clicked on the thumbnail of this video, and said, "Finally, some good fucking food," and my wife gave me a raised eye. Then Burger comes and cracks a joke about pitched tents, and my wife just about dies of laughter. She practically hugged the damn screen. Thank you for the dopamine.
FINALLY A NEW SHADOWRUN LORE VID!!!!
Loved Shadowrun, wish it was still pertinent!! Some of my best tabletop games with friends were in that and the two best stories I've written are in it!
I love that all the megacorps are made up as you'd expect from a cyberpunk setting and then there's just BMW.
Bruh, you are like the only one doing this stuff. Keep it up
Fantastic Video. Just one thing Wuxing is spoken as Wushing, the x is always a sh in chinese romanisation
Yes, at long last. I was hoping this would be next. The megas would've had to come up some time talking about shadowrun
It's pronounce "wu-shing."
the x sound did always strike me as not very characteristically cantonese
It's written pronounced*
In Cantonese it would probably be someþing like Ngo-Seng or Ngo-Hong.
Literally "wooshin'"
I now so want to play a giant in shadowrun, especially with even more enhanced problems of fitting in than a regular troll. Not sure what kind of personality he should have, be the gentle giant or make the best use of his strengths while not trying to mentally break from the constant stress of everything being too delicate for you to be able to be gentle.
Sounds like a fun character idea to play with. It would also give me an outlet for my own stress at feeling that I constantly have to hold back because people's ego's are fragile. While they take no offense at trying to take mine down. Also being a social outcast in game seems like a nice way to transform my own social awkwardness as being part of the game.
Today is a good day. More awesome lore. I wish the series would take off... need a solid next gen Video Game or else a Netflix series to get a larger fan base.
Shutdown is the best Scenario-Book ever written #changemymind :D
What a shame you wont make seperate videos on the corps. Now I have to read again for myself and develop a sence of character for those names. 😭 Thanks for the awesome overview btw
"headquartered in Detroit"
noice
Fuck yeah
Anyone else want to see Burger talk to Vaush? IDK if they would debate or just flat out degree on most things.
Couldn't help but notice the Shadows of a Conjurer in the background
love the line about the new queen rest in peace Elizabeth the 2nd
Spinrad is a AAA now? And no more Novatech (or NEOnet) ? Seems thing have changed since the 3rd and 4th editions....
Fuck yeah another shadowrun video!
You should do a video on Shadowrun's magic.
Oh my, that Elon Musk comment hasn't aged very well.
Oh huh, I wasn't familiar with Spinrad! Did they replace one of the big 10 from 5th Edition?
also wuxing has a strong influence in the balkanized Chinese states, as Hong Kong is the gateway to China and probably the financial capital of the Chinese states. also strengthening its influence is the fact that Great dragon lung owns a big chunk of wuxing and it has a strong alliance with the triads. The only Chinese state which Wuxing has no influence in is the Neo Commie state of Henan which has an alliance with Aztechnology, even though the Commie gov of Henan is anti corporate.
If these are your most popular videos, surprising you don't make more of them.
*Pitches tent*
What EVE novel is behind you?
Shiawase be like “japan can have a little racism, as a treat”
Tenting
In this videso: The moment where i realized that Lowfyr is like Elon Musk just in smart and with common sense.
I got a Johnson for you, right ere....
but srs, this was a nice summary of the Big Ten
The "Virgin" Real-Life China & Japan:
- Virgin China: "Economic growth, but worried about the shrinking workforce."
- Virgin Japan: "Technologically advanced, yet facing an aging population crisis."
vs.
The "Chad" cyberpunk Lore China & Japan:
- Chad cyberpunk China: "Single-party state that eclipsed the USA, moon colony flex."
- Chad cyberpunk Japan: "AAA megacorporations dominance, 100 million°C fusion reactor win."
17:23 the flow of "She"?!
Well, what about the flow of "He"?
Bruh, what are you wuksing?
lol did he say complimentary cocaine? Where was that job application?
It's the future World Economic Forum!
what about Shadowrun games, they were free on Epic
sayi
Stupid advertisement cut off þe rest of þis comment, TH-cam doesn't like Windows.
Came for the Shadowrun lore, stayed for because of the jab at the USA
