Speedrun history videos are a sort of comfort food video for me.

[@skyboxeye]

17:50 my friends and I abused the "Checkpoint Reset" in multiplayer. It warms my heart to see it used in speedruns as well.

[@Archy2Cold]

Wow amazing video brother I really love it. Super cool for you to make this. Thank you so much man! Also the 3D maps were a great touch very very well done.

[@matthewjames3637]

Your production values are spectacular. Being able to see the maps is so nice along with your explanations of the various tech in the run.

[@RainerRilke3]

Came down to the comments just to say this. The overhead maps are a really awesome touch that improves the presentation so much. I subscribed just because I appreciate that kind of often underrated attention to detail.

[@jeffreyknutsen3698]

Very well-produced and polished video. Good explanations on the tricks too. Good work

[@ZEN_Ivan]

Amazing video Osukarui! Very epic much love.

[@glassramen]

Sarge's heroes and Sarge's Heroes 2 were my favorite games as a kid. 3do made great games back then like global assault.

[@IcesGamingVault]

Update: Archy got a 26:49 on 03-27-2023, which is WR.

[@DrNekobeard]

I love how chill you are man.

[@RebellionASG]

Good content, the format reminded me of rwhitegoose's speedlore content for Goldeneye.

[@tlet3]

Great video, I always love to see something high quality come from the community of this game.

[@PlasticCogLiquid]

I love the level design in this game so much

[@MatthewBakke]

This is exactly my kind of content. Thank you for putting in so much work and sharing!

[@woodtsunami]

You are my new favorite KZbinr. Your production values are exceptional, you have a great voice and concept for these videos, and im absolutely loving all the content you are putting out. Keep it up, the sky is the limit!!

[@BobTimeIsNow]

love how you do your vids, covering a short history and also showing the maps

[@Timmysteve]

Great video! I am enjoying all the details. Your maps and recreations are very well executed. I used to love this game when I was young and it's nostalgic to see it again. I love how passionate you are for speedrunning and your enthusiasm toward new players hitting the scene and overtaking your records is refreshing and inspiring. Also, I like the way your pronounce the word "drawers" :>

[@ShamanJeeves]

I love record progression videos on lesser known games. Great job on this, you've earned my subscription.

[@RickRacket]

Great vids! Just subscribed. Army Men was my jam back in the day. Used to rent Sarge’s Heroes 1 and 2 all the time back then.

[@surplusvalues]

So happy to have found your channel, dude! Great vids!

[@Fig_Bender]

My brother and I played a lot of this almost 25 years ago, thanks for the nostalgia

[@mathieulapointe1207]

Finally... something else than goldeneye.❤❤❤❤ I could watch videos like that all day long. Nice work😊

[@Bloodjaeg]

Keep doing your thing man and you’re gonna be big in the speedrun documentary community. The next summoning salt right here

[@DigiEggz]

Excellent coverage on this game. Subscribed!

[@v3ck1n]

Just got this game off ebay having never played it before. I can't wait to play it honestly

[@jcastillo8648]

Great stuff can’t wait till you take off. Keep grinding.

[@QwikID]

I normally only watch wr runs but learning about the journey of some speedruns is awesome.

[@thegamingchef3304]

My cousins let us borrow this on PS1 back in the day.

[@veejay_hypo]

Love your speedrunning videos. Cheers.

[@kefka14]

Your channel is awesome! I'm so glad I decided to take a look at Starshot and found you my dude! We have very similar mission statements as speedrunners.

[@joshuapate9827]

Dude You make great video Keep working hard!

[@Dafuqisdat]

This brings back a lot of memories. Used to play this alot

[@TheFoxEssence]

This game was absolutely fantastic when I was a kid! I would love to see the Army Men series to be remastered some day

[@MrBonini2594]

I really appreciate you making these videos, i used to play a lot this game when i was a kid and to this day i still play it (but now i like to play the Dreamcast version) i know this game is very obscure but is one of my fav n64 games.

[@northernontariosledderz]

Awsome video man! subscribed. Keep them coming 😊

[@dancingtree7199]

HOLY SHIT, I've been looking for this game forever dude, I remember playing this on my dad's n64 but could never remember the name of the game

[@HysterectomyInc]

love your vids. your voice is very soothing

[@Sashko_Dee]

I've always wanted to play through this one and the army men helicopter game when i was a kid but I never got the chance. The little army men reminded me of the Small Soldiers movie..that I also missed out on.

[@roselynyoung3805]

I was surprised to see this gsme again, i had it on ps1 as a child though i knew nothing about this kind of collectathoning and could keep gettin stuck until i just gave up on it and shelves it for games like tomb raider or the same toy story game you recently covered

[@basedbrody1170]

Huge fan of this series and Zen_ivan is the goat

[@daitsy2476]

Core childhood memory unlocked lol

[@joshweed123]

I loved this game as a kid

[@TheVoiceOfChaos]

Man this game brought back memories

[@koopanique]

I love the 3D graphics of the levels, such awesome and creative work!

[@Big_Human]

aww man i remember renting this game from blockbuster back in 99 so nostalgic

[@luxuryxcoffin]

Haven’t thought about this game in a long time. Wow

[@disciple2742]

I remember this game from when i was younger. It was on Playstation though i never owned a N64

[@ErosXCaos]

Excellent presentation

[@ChryslerLeBaro]

Nice! Excellent diagrams and explanations! Really enjoyed it! Cheers!

[@mikehoncho4929]

Archy 2 coldddddd

[@lapis64]

i remember playing this game ALOT on the n64!

[@Omahamaho]

good video I'd love to see someone speed run the PS1 Army Men World War games too

[@Aftsov]

Loved watching this video. Army men was the best game ever! BTW, how did you get those 3D renders of the levels? Really cool!

[@TheArmyMenVideoGamesChannel]

Awesome video

[@mork6668]

Love this videos

[@ColZep]

I remember playing this game when I was a kid and thought the game was super hard because of the controls

[@Yopmemama]

8:41 The new thick IL WR by me uses this strat :)

[@osukarui]

Huge congrats!

[@LRXC1]

So good!!!

[@1984Phalanx]

"Good to go"

[@retrokiid4526]

you need better promotion .boy was I locked in😂

[@KSIMuskratLuv]

I loved Sarge's heroes as a kid, but I'm not sure I ever got past the minefield in like level 1 (I think?)

[@Luke_Freeman]

Fine. I'll subscribe. You're content it... entertaining... I guess....

[@jayceneal5273]

howd you extract all the levels like that?

[@osukarui]

Used this tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2esdp-ihtuhl6Msi=cDySe0680xd3IjF7

[@GoogleAids]

I grew up with army men RTS on game cube and all my life I've seen this game get more attention than the one I've grown to love this whole time. I doubt it will be a good speed run but if anyone wants what I assume is civ6 for babies, please play it. Very fun. Only like a buck fiddy on the right steam sale.

[@ColZep]

I would love to see A Bug's Life speedrun analysis by you

[@4nyNoob]

how do you get 3d models from the games that you are talking about? these graphics on top of the game's landscape always look so cool, i love it

[@osukarui]

It depends on the game. For some games, people have made software allowing you to export the levels and for other games I have had to export it myself using this method: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2esdp-ihtuhl6Msi=p2mFHChH0fPmTzyS

[@thevisionary5699]

Maybe Conker next? ;D

[@bestaround3323]

I think I have this game for the PS2

[@Imgema]

How did you make those 3D maps? Did you extract the data from the game? It's pretty cool.

[@osukarui]

Yes, used the setup from this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2esdp-ihtuhl6M for this game it was a very slow and tedious process since I had to swipe one section at a time and then put them together in blender but Im happy with the results

[@spencerderosier6649]

Quest 64

[@Cincy32]

Isn't using a new controller considered cheating though? I'm not a speed runner.

[@osukarui]

It often depends on the game and the type of controller and if people have mapped the bottons differently and such. The Hori controller we use is commonly used in speedrunning. Super Mario 64 runners often use them for Bowser throws.

[@supabass4003]

Played the shit out of this game on the PSX, this version looks better.

[@chrisn2811]

8:10 that video slide up effect is highly offensive, anyone else?

[@warmage247]

Algorithm boosting comment

[@mattodude237]

This game was always a game i "wanted to like as a kid" but never had the patience for it. Kinda like quest 64, except that game just sucked lol

[@SFTaYZa]

Pronounced route not rout

[@alioth2021]

This game simultaneously sucks and slaps. Best sniper rifle in any game ever made. Party tiiiime...

[@a.m.8410]
