"notice how the ship looks like a pregnant woman" i'll have what AA is smoking, thank you

[@mycookiehasnoname]

Went to the comments just to say "idk what bro is on but I'll have it" lmao

[@NotOnlyLyrics]

I remember seeing something about that and it actually being a real design choice from the devs, so maybe AA isn't smoking anything eheh

[@hawkticus_history_corner]

As crazy as it sounds, its true. Th devs based the ship off of old fertility statuettes that have a similar silhouette

​@ambiguousamphibian that's where baby bumps come from? 😮

Babe wake up, new frog lore just dropped 👀

[@3fDmRNUxo0xxY4g]

Funny frog man

[@whatisahandle_69]

It was all an ad

[@1st2nd2]

I'm not certain if he is a frog, though. An amphibian? Absolutely. What kind of amphibian? I find the evidence rather ambiguous.

[@garianangel4646]

Different frogman, this is a turtle

[@sozo4483]

Pepe lore be like

[@JacoDeltaco]

Assuming That playing homeworld one will make us understand what going on... what a grand and intoxicating innocence.

[@dakaodo]

Well, even if we don't understand, at least we'll get to (re)play the scenes with Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings. Not sure how hard that'll hit for new modern players, but it still sticks with me after 25 years as one of the most moving scenes I've suffered in a game. I credit/blame Barber's music for at least 90% of that. :D

[@trazyntheinfinite9895]

Hw3's story was banal to the nth degree. We went from Crusade for Home/Fight the Beast/Fight Makaan in a race for the right to shape the future of a galaxy to "Space baby needs cuddle". Worst thing: she killed billions and got what she wanted. She won. What a fckn joke.

I would like to speak to the Grox's manager

Well she didn't demand for the manager, she became the manager!!!!!

Thanks for playing this! When it came up on the youtube feed my partner got so visibly excited and i immediately rushed to gift him a copy on steam.

I can't unsee Karan as a space Karen.

[@wej6095]

Motherships no Karenkrafts yes

[@IonSwarmer]

"Before you were born" HA! Wrong! Oh.

[@kraosdadafusfus8034]

Did not expect to see a Berserk shout-out in Homeworld, of all games. The Berserker symbol looks like the Brand of Sacrifice. It also kinda looks like the Miracle symbol from Blasphemous.

[@VerkrKoS]

You'd be surprised how many games have berk references berserk is a well know series and loved by many a media

[@traversal6881]

Never heard of it.

Space Karen: *BECOMES SPACE MANAGER*

[@dakaodo]

Dammit, I've played the HW series since HW 1 just after college. The series consistently evokes a sense of awe with its sound design, soundtrack (though still kind of on the fence after 25 years about the choice to go with Yes for the credits -- I love Yes, and thematically it fit. Just not sure about the sound style), voice acting, and art style. ...And in 15 minutes you've repeatedly skewered and roasted so many of my HW sacred cows, starting with Space Karan. XD Thanks!

[@user-mk4mw4zn3l]

"It can't get what it wanted" hits different. I felt that.

I see my Arcanum min-maxing strategy can be also used in Homeworld 3. Cool, cool.

[@BoothShades]

My fiance and I always watch frog man videos as soon as we are home together, and ALWAYS with food. Thank you for a bonding and funny pastime.

[@zwhip1188]

Thank you for covering this game. I’ve been a long time fan of this series. I love you man!

[@ArinJager1]

hey Amphi, ever heard about / played this old(er) game called "Haegemonia: Legions of Iron" (from 2002)? It's kinda like Homeworld (a fully 3D sci-fi RTS, it's about Earth vs Mars colonists, then aliens show up and stuff...)... I remember playing it a lot back in the day (you're not opposed to playing older games, yes?)

[@killingpoison1749]

I'm glad to see this video on my birthday. I just found a cool new game that I'm going to add to my already giant collection of games.

[@criticalcommenter]

Happy birthday 🎈

[@Z0N1C38]

Since they use mass drivers, I'm imagining them firing and sounding Luke the rail tanks from Gundam Seed Stargazer at the beginning

[@ApexBovine]

This is almost exactly what ive been looking for. Dreadnaught (Think it's called capital command now?) looked promising although the devs are quiet, but this. This does make me smile.

[@molybdaen11]

The world of warships clone or is there another dreathnought game around?

[@ApexBovine]

@@molybdaen11 I think they changed the project name to capital command. Just remember it being "dreadnaught space game".

[@YourEverydayBloke]

Man, I loved the original Homeworld. I still listen to that acapella version of Adagio for Strings sometimes.

Don't forget "Deserts of Kharak" if you want the origin story :P

[@EspressoStreams]

My mothers name is Karen. The Mothership to me would be the Karrier.

[@cyclopsshaman.2204]

I wonder if the berzerk upgrade symbol is a reference to the Bazerk manga. It looks alot like it if it only had a virtical line through it and alittle off the top.

[@AttackACactus]

Why do I love that Karen hair on Ambiguous? It seems right, doesn't it?

I’m so excited to play this game

Someone must have watched Star Trek First Contact just before coming up with the main story for this game.

[@carlsoll]

An appropriate challenge for 1 man 😑👌 This man’s vocabulary

[@thierrygrise254]

Aw come on, with railgun corvette (and their ability) you could have done that much more easily XD

[@Min_Mai]

To bad they were told to focus on the part they can monetize later on. And messed up all which made the old game so good. And not using cataclysm for navigation. The only part of the series where one could use the 3d grid effectively.

[@HYEOL]

Too afraid of spoilers to watch this ❤

[@TjByers369]

Do it for space Karen.

[@dillon60roark77]

You should post a vid of multiplayer RimWorld with Klep and Hazzor. I will post this on every new video on all three channels till it happens
