Who Is PilotRedSun?

[@azmiloh3363]

I quote pilotredsun videos way too often and I once met Michael's sister in college because she overheard me say "take a hard right on Saratoga." We talked a bit about her brother. I remember her telling me that she would always overhear him saying these absurd lines in weird voices like "fire is the best way to kill a spider" until he got the perfect take.

[@johnw1954]

shhhhhhhh thats not his name shhhhhhhhhh

[@JBrander]

imagine overhearing the other room "Time to rise and shine. You deserve oats of the highest caliber!"

[@jelly_4_brainz]

I always thought pilotredsun was a 50 year old man living in a shack in a desert, but this is nice

[@sunsetman22]

is the sister the same person who voiced Spunky in the Rocko video?

[@user-ut1fp6hn4p]

i've probably said "prime time for computer time" every time i get home from work or uni more than i care to admit

[@woomyrune]

pilotredsun feels like a weird dream that you forget 10 seconds after waking up and only remember slivers from it later

[@tuxedo1557]

i think the dreamy feel is because of the lack of shading and stuff, it gives this uncertainty kind of like the brains imagination you can see it but it has a wobbly inconsistency

[@BierBart12]

That's how I feel about the current [Someone's] ultimatum trend, that really mimics pilotredsun's style

[@unorganized_account]

[@MrDaynos]

There’s something strangely alluring about Pilotredsun. His music has gotten me through many study sessions, and I could always tell that he was talented in visual art past the intentional rough style. Thanks for the video, I had always wondered if there was anything else to the Pilotredsun story.

[@macaroniboi5637]

oh my god yeah his music is awesome

[@Wizard_635]

Pilotredsun? Who is? Who is pilotredsun? Buddy, easiest mystery since the mystery. In laymen’s terms, pilotredsun is a solid marble statue, weighing in at 1500 tons and 9’7” in height. Stuck in the grease? get OUT of the GREASE. Only an industrial lifting mechanism can move the thing, even then it’s only a few inches at a time. It’s simple! do not @ me

[@linkrulezall]

A couple of things that got slightly glossed over here: -The actual first video on the pilotredsun channel was "Kraft Dinner", but for whatever reason he deleted it at some point and then reuploaded it later. -PilotRedSky also had videos on it at one point before 2018, gaming/commentary videos in the vein of what penguinz0/Cr1tikal was doing around that time (similar to the "Pro Football" video on his main channel too). I remember one was made around a flash-based Doom clone called Super Sergeant Shooter 2 and another was some 3d platformer where you jumped around the tops of buildings collecting pieces of cereal. Still kinda bummed that nobody saved these lmao Overall pretty excellent summary though, I didn't even know about the PokeRemixStudio stuff before watching this!

[@toastybrainmatter]

I also discovered PilotRedSun in middle school not long after the release of garfielf, and have always been so overjoyed to see a new release on his channel. I listened to a lot of his music uploaded to his tumblr during my time in high school, until eventually a lot of it was transferred onto youtube by other people which made it easier to listen to. I have a lot of nostalgia for PRS, his music was playing in the background of some of the most memorable times in my life from middle school, high school, college, and still to this day. I love listening to the "best of" and "mega mix" videos, songs like cheapie, fleece snowkbs, and especially cyber-op keys are a few of my favorites. I enjoyed this video, and actually never knew about PokeRemixStudio!

[@ForTheOmnissiah]

PilotRedSun makes unironically good music. It's so weird and out of the box. Makes you wonder what you're supposed to be feeling emotionally listening to it. Great stuff.

[@le9038]

thank you for checking up on him. I thought the guy died as i moved onto other stuff. it's good to know he is still alive. i decided to watch Mr. Fujiwara's Office and my god. the things that have changed...
