Added 2025-05-13 23:19:36 +0000 UTC9 books, 4 movies, a comic book series, 18 episodes of a TV show, and one notorious video game later, the TekWar retrospective is done and dusted!
Should be available on YouTube by tomorrow if I don't get copyright dinged. Enjoy!

TIME SPLITTERS!!!! I downloaded dolphin just to revisit the sequel game. It's aged. I understand why I had a hard time beating the hardest level difficulties and such.

2025-05-15 04:19:28 +0000 UTCThis is great, and I will leave a more thoughtful and interesting comment on the youtube version later. But can I get a link to that mcdonalds creepypasta?

2025-05-15 02:21:02 +0000 UTCI honestly can't tell how much you were joking about the castle in Toronto... but it's a castle in Toronto. The only one in North America, apparently. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casa_Loma Much love from the UK. Where we can't move for castles. they're fucking everywhere.

2025-05-14 22:09:51 +0000 UTCMy friend and I read L. Ron Hubbard's Battlefield Earth around that time....... no scientologists, thank goodness, were created in this endeavour. but still Tek War? I love quirky Kirky and all., but this must've passed me in my younger days. I was more into Marina Sirtis and Star Trek TNG. Nonetheless, I enjoy your story telling, which breaths live into this hollow Tek War story. It is monumental, that you use up half the time just to explain the atrocity of the Tek War pilots and books until redeem them all with the Tek War series. and explode in the games afterwards. Looking at all this, normally this is my shit. I don't know why it avoided me in the 90es. I have to say thank you, to make me aware again .

2025-05-14 21:40:12 +0000 UTCUsually don't watch on Patreon but I needed my 10 seconds of Shatner music fix dangit. Fantastic video as usual dude, I'm sure all 4 and 2/3 Tekwar fans in 2025 feel heard and represented.

2025-05-14 06:56:27 +0000 UTCThe TekWar game is so fascinating. Utterly trash game made by developers who I can't tell if they were phoning it in or genuinely trying but just THAT bad at game design that TekWar turned out the way it did. I like TekWar's cityscape aesthetics but that's about it. But, in fairness, some of the people who worked at Capstone went on to help develop Battle for Bikini Bottom after the company went belly-up, so they eventually found their stride I'd say.

2025-05-14 06:42:19 +0000 UTCi enjoyed that this managed to extend beyond the scope of strictly video games while maintaining the tone and quality of storytelling that make me like this channel

2025-05-14 02:22:59 +0000 UTCHmm it wonβt play at all on my iPhone. I press play, or skip around the video, but itβs just a black box, the video never starts playing. Anyone else?

2025-05-14 00:52:51 +0000 UTCThat sucks, I've had that same problem with Patreon videos before. Even on refresh it stays stuck. Try skipping around the timeline and reloading the page a few times. If it's a processing issue it should ideally resolve with time. Let me know if you're still having issues in a few.

2025-05-14 00:07:02 +0000 UTCSuper excited to watch this! Though the video keeps freezing at the 4-second mark on PC, and it's not playing at all on my iPad...weird
