Jesus Christ, yet another victim of TSN and ICTV with a cooking pot on his head. Oh of course there are no fascists in Ukraine. Seriously, “there is no fascism in Ukraine” is almost a meme. Your most popular and omnipresent war chant is a calque of “Deutschland über alles”, what else do you need?.. Complete and utter bullshit. At the beginning of this civil war, 99% of people in LPR/DPR considered themselves Ukrainians and wanted to be part of Ukraine – just normal and sane Ukraine, not a fascist state where , , and Russian language – despite the fact that it is the mother tongue for 85-90 percent of said regions’ population – . Of course now, after four years of Ukrainian army spraying the residential quarters of Donetsk with Grads and Tochkas, the attitude has changed, but even now pretty much nobody in LPR/DPR is seriously planning or wishing to become part of Russia. The only thing these people want is to be left alone. Why in the world would they move anywhere? It’s their land where they were born and raised, land which was built up by their fathers and grandfathers. It does not cease to amaze me when people continue to say things like this in 2018. Do you even know that your government is so desperate to get some money from somewhere – anywhere – that it is planning to allow selling the Ukrainian soil?.. Oh, measuring others by your own opportunistic yardstick. Classic. I understand that it’s hard to imagine for someone whose “home is where the butt is warm”, but for some people there are more important things than a full stomach. Coming back to Crimea, we would have reunited with Russia even if it was that poor, unemployment-ridden state with “torn to pieces” economy which Western propaganda is desperately trying to portray. The fact that real-life Russia is a prospering, self-sufficient and safe country was just a nice bonus, not the reason. Yeah, everything is fine, nothing to worry about. This is totally not an armed gang who openly declares a genocide against “potato beetles”. People who are fighting for their lives are just some bunch of assholes. …who were seen by no one I mean seriously, “invisible Russian soldiers in Donbass” has long since become a meme. The next logical step for you is to mention the Crucified Boy. Oh my God, just what substance do you have in your cranium?.. Russia was an emasculated impotent ruin back then. Just how horribly brainwashed do you have to be to try and put on Russia some blame for one of the most outrageous examples of NATO aggression?.. Actually that’s a silly question. You’re being told 24/7 that everything bad is caused by Putin personally, of course it’s expected behavior. Go dismantle your gas calorifier, it has aggressive Putin’s gas inside. Oh, what a sweet wishful thinking Keep calm, Russia won’t be tempted to adopt a failed state like Ukraine even if tomorrow every Ukrainian politician starts vowing allegiance towards Russia, and every single Ukrainian citizen starts calling Russians his brethren. “There's also this theory that” Trump is planning to put Ukraine to one last use: sell it to Putin in exchange for something else, so that Russia will (yet again) have to spend its resources to restore it from ruins. Not gonna happen Oh yeah, Ukraine is so thoroughly united that in Kyiv there are almost monthly armed collisions between people because of one or another vexed question (the most recent one was yesterday because of the Victory Day), and western regions are toying with an idea of separation. I think what you wanted to say was, “in Russia where the government effectively stops the periodical attempts of the Foggy Bottom to slap together another flower revolution”. And unlike Ukraine, where , in Russia thorny issues are discussed with displeased populace on so-called Parliament hearings in online mode, which allows people reach mutual understanding with the government in an effective and civilized manner; one of the latest examples was the successful resolve of the problematic issue of Moscow Renovation. You have so much voice that TV channels are closed for as much as not showing enough respect to the “revolution of dignity”, and Ukrainians who dare to express their opinion in a blog are put to jail. (To put it into perspective, in Russia a whole bunch of libertards talk trash about Putin on central TV channels in prime time, and feel all right; and Vkontakte is choke full of Russophobic crap that nobody is punished for). Although I admit that it’s kinda hilarious to watch the feeble attempts to make another Maidan by the very same people who four years ago were saying “if they [the new government] won’t do good, we’ll throw them off just like their predecessors”. Looks like without Victoria Nuland’s cookies thou art an 0 without a figure, surprise-surprise!

Oh, you do not want to go this road because then we'll remember the American natives and you'll look really awkward

Do you realize that you are talking to a 3rd generation Simferopolitan? I swear, it is absolutely hilarious when someone living on the antipodal point of Earth (who probably won't even be able to find Crimea on the map) is telling me how "occupied" and "annexed" I am. You probably should go read about the administrative status of Crimea after the collapse of USSR.

You must be confused. The occupation of Crimea ended in 2014.

I ardently support this. Crimea is a corner of paradise with mild climate, lots of intact forests, lots of beautiful palaces, kind open people, and (after reunion with Russia) rather good infrastructure (you will have trouble finding a crumbling, mold-ridden residence building in Crimea). As a place to live, it is ridiculously undervalued and undersold.

The absolute best analysis of post-Disney Star Wars was done by E;R. These videos are so cleverly done, I highly recommend them even for people who are not interested in Star Wars whatsoever.

This was absolutely amazing. I knew from the very beginning that you'll murderize everyone. Also, seeing that pretentious girl having her ass handed to her made my inner male chauvinist pig happy.

Are you that short boards have more hits? The wiki says that they are the same. Also, some highlights:

Okay, I think I'll just back off and go do something useful with my life.

With all due respect, I completely disagree with you here. 1) A lot of things are essential to all life on earth. Lebensraum, for example. Saying "we must send them water because they deserve it no matter what their education is" is one step away from saying "we must squeeze together a bit and make some room for them, because they deserve a good place to live no matter what their education is". 2) A lot of places have little drinking water, there is nothing special about Africa in this regard. Many arabic countries are basically deserts. And yet they are prospering. Why? Well, to put it bluntly, because people there are educated. They treat what little resources they have wisely and sparingly, instead of blindly exhausting them like there is no tomorrow. But what's more important, they know to not breed like rabbits, ensuring overpopulation, hunger and thirst. The result is an extremely well-sustainable society that was existing in harmony with its harsh arid environment for millennia. 3) What does all this have to do with the Marie Antoinette quote? It was about government's detachment from the needs of its people, about whom it was obliged to care about. We are talking about the needs of an utterly unrelated group of people, towards whom we have absolutely no obligations whatsoever.

Okay, I watched this and I must say the Tom-Ross duo is pretty entertaining. The thing that was really annoying though, was those other two dumb fucks who tried to be funny cracking stupid jokes. It was amusing how Ross on the video was literally wincing when he was hearing some especially obnoxious ones.

Behemot Your statement is correct, logical, and horribly racist (at least by the standards of modern Internet) Thank God that we're not Tumblr/FB and can call things as they are.

This is not Ross's style, more like Krim's. Now this is actually a great idea. Besides, it's not like Freeman didn't do some before without batting an eye.

It's amazing how this episode is simultaneously among the best and the worst episodes of the Game Dungeon. Pretty much every remark made me laugh, from quoting Edward Bulwer-Lytton's «Paul Clifford», to struggling with stupid sliders designed by console-minded developers and thus having no mouse tracking, all the way to lazily implemented birds that just dissolve in thin air. But at the same time, the game itself is just so cringeworthy, that this episode was painful to watch no matter how much of Ross's talent was dumped into it. I can only assume that this game has «overwhelmingly positive» reviews for the same reason why Call of Duty is the most profitable game franchise. Sturgeon's law.

Is there a way to listen to his commentaries without playing the game?

HTML5 isn't crap, Adobe Flash is. I'd say that HTML5 is not even "forced" as hard as it really should be. The sooner we forget about that abomination called Flash Player, the better.

"They're obviously looking for some sort of cult leader of that complex I was in, they must have found him, but I was on the top floor, therefore I'm in charge, so I'll do just fine". Not sure what the reference is. Is it the apartment block which Gordon walked through when he was heading towards Kleiner's lab?

You are awesome, Daniel.

I beg to differ. HL2 has as much "wandering, slow-paced walking" with no enemies to fight as the original game. I seriously doubt anything (including fighting) can be worse than a concrete corridor after a concrete corridor after a concrete corridor. This episode is a perfect demonstration that frenetic pace and combat don't hinder Ross from inserting quick-witted comments on the "environment and just general atmosphere of things".

03:34 I'm pretty sure he said "Nail bomb".

This was absolutely hilarious. I don't understand how you manage to keep such a fresh eye on the game after so much time. Freeman's comments expose the unnaturalness of Half-Life 2 so mercilessly that I wonder how could I let it pass back when I played it for the first time. I guess I was just too young back in 2004. I think the updated graphics only make things worse. In Half-Life 1, the low-polygon surroundings left some space for imagination, which was filling in the blanks. In Half-Life 2, the surroundings are much more detailed, and as a result the world just looks utterly artificial.

I think it's the minority of people who will really enjoy this one Well, I, for one, can't say that I loved this episode. On the contrary. I think I will even go as far as to say that I was disgusted. The worst thing is that it's obvious just how much work Ross dumped into this. The jokes are clever, the sound editing is perfect, the research is thorough. But the game itself just feels... filthy. I haven't played it, but just watching this video was enough for me to . Also, the fact that it was developed by a Jewish studio is not helping me to keep my inner antisemite down.

I second this. Judging by some things Ross said in the past, I think that he vastly underestimates the attention span of his fans. Remember how he made a pause in the middle of "Top 25 Most Anticipated Games" video, which was less than half of an hour long?

Ross said the game's title starts with an 'A'.

Kleiner, inviting a brain-raping alien facehugger to jump on his head: - Here, my pet. Hop up! Freeman (compassionately): - The years have not been kind, huh? Well if there is one thing the years have been kind to, it is Ross's sense of humor. This was always kept ambiguous since the very first episode, and I think deliberately. - sometimes Freeman pretends to yell someone in the face (or just say something rude), but the person is not offended; then Freeman says something that implies that he was actually yelling in his mind in order to not upset relations with this person; - sometimes it's like the above, but the person suddenly reacts and Freeman is like “Whoops, did I say it out loud?”; - sometimes he says something and the person reacts, and Freeman expects it (so in this case he was just talking normally). In general, you can never be sure when Freeman is thinking or speaking. There was no indication that Freeman was thinking anything like that. He was genuinely glad when her teleportation went normally.
