Thanks Bob, you're a real one

I have no idea what to comment but I have to be here

[@Dvalarogg]

Hover Glitch is becoming my favorite character in the series. He's just so _uplifting._

[@toast495]

Leave.

[@damiencouturee6240]

Booooo

[@stubrutv]

This is the greatest comment in the history of KZbin

[@opendoordigitalmedia3518]

Backed on this being peak humor. Absolutely made my day 😂

[@TheRoyalRelease]

I really needed the smile you just gave me, thank you.

[@drewwoodmansee4982]

Bob's introduction goes so hard 🔥

[@Game_Hero]

So much 2000s energy into one person shouldn't be possible

[@BobbyBFilms]

oya

[@madnessiscool]

I yelled "NOOOO!!" when it said "Stay tuned, for Era V". This series is too god damn comfy man, great work.

[@matthewwebb7921]

Bruh, just did the same!!!! Frick this is so good

[@gaabrielezz]

Me tooooooo

[@smokerg4l762]

Contrary to what the leaderboard times tell you, Bob still holds the uncontested world record in acquiring the most man crushes in speedrunning. True legend.

[@clyonortheclyon9568]

"Oh look at that IS THE HOVER GLITCH!" 🔥 And that's fellas when you know we are in mid game. We are getting optimized!

[@cryo5846]

Another absolute banger video Ricky! You’re so damn good at making these, easily my favourite speedrunning content and one of my favourite youtubers period. Keep it up!

[@ThaRixer]

Too kind man

[@theUsual_]

I got chills at the hint for the next runner, straight up. Absolute banger video, man. Your hours and hours of work pay off so well

[@ThaRixer]

Thanks usual, I'm excited to show off the next runner in line 😁

[@jeerkku]

Had a good laugh at "Oh would you look at that, it's the *HOVER GLITCH*". :D

[@The_Stellar]

This series just keeps getting better!

[@ThaRixer]

It's cause you're in it Stellar 😎

[@The_Stellar]

yeah that crash in the dark ship elevator is my shining achievement

[@Mister_Clean]

I was wondering when the hover glitch would come crashing through the ceiling Been loving the speedrunner interviews. This might be my favorite video game documentary. It's awesome seeing thousands of hours worth of research and discovery condensed into a format like this.

[@PunishedRuh]

18:41 that was so good LOL

[@AndroidsDreamTV]

Wow that Sly 1 swamp music gavee chills, amazing series and amazing work.

[@ThaRixer]

Thanks man, its one of my favourite songs in the sly series

[@tunajenkins4]

man the elwynn forest music at the end hammered in what an absolutly incredible video this was. excited for the next one

[@ArkOvu]

I was about to say the same thing until I saw your comment lol

[@ace5357]

dropping right when i start eating lunch? what a blessing

[@SILENTWOLF-vg8km]

Love seeing these speedrun histories for my favorite childhood games

[@Bintendo]

another fantastic video man. Might be my favorite Era so far. keep up the amazing work and thanks for putting a spotlight on one of the coolest games out there

[@ThaRixer]

Thanks bin!!!

[@itgetsdajobdone]

Just finished the Era myself and I have to agree. Editing and montages were absolutely nuts

[@Brown95P]

Once this is over, I'll have to rewatch all the eras back-to-back to truly understand how mind-boggling this timeline has been. A shame Yankee never managed to fit a SFHB into a WR though; he deserved it too, given how he just tore Temple in half.

[@wile123456]

lol the intro to hillary puff with the music is the embodiment of "He got no drip, but he is allll CLASS"

[@moon6043]

This is amazing, the series just keeps getting better, I've been excited for the next ERA ever since the first one, i wonder how this all ends. Also bob is a fucking G, homie is chill af

[@QuikeMetalHammer]

The series started very well but its getting an absolute banger man By far the best and most interesting speedrun contest I've ever seen. Sharing your passion for this is with us is ❤

[@CrescentStorm]

these videos are so captivating and so full of life the way you put these videos together and the way you explain things is amazing! Can not wait for the next one, Well Done Ricky as always you know how to blow it outta the park!!

[@sr.laborde2610]

As a spanish person, i just feel surprised about all your hard work speedruning all this games. Your channel and your research is amazing Ricky, each video is better than the previous, keep making this videos you are one of the best youtubers i've watched in my life

[@DmT922ha]

I was just thinking yesterday when will this amazing series return..❤

[@TTimbs]

When naughty dog gets bored with the last of us.

[@taco_sensei]

​​@@TTimbsconsidering how NPC's will buy that same game as many times as ND releases it, there's no reason for them to stop milking that cow :[

[@rdmax4599]

This docuseries is just outstanding, the amount of work, information and dedication to it. especially cause i discorvered the world of speedrunning from you during 2017, and from that i started my little journey on jak x cause of you, all of this is super interesting and melted my heart. can't wait for all the remaining era videos!

[@dr4gonblitz]

the quality of these vids is insane!

[@KongMan21]

I don't know how you do it... but i feel like i'm watching an official documentary on Netflix. The quality of these just dont miss! Keep up the good work and I can't wait for V - IX

[@suibom]

sick as hell dude, i often think about how temple skip or hover glitch by themselves would blow apart the route; the fact that they were adopted at the same time is a miracle. amazing work covering all the details and the new frontier that yankee and bob opened up for the game

[@tonyvaldez8738]

I have never waited for a video to drop so eagerly, thank you for keeping the spark of all of our childhoods still alive, I own this trilogy on every game system ps2-5 and love the attention you bring to it

[@MaejXIV]

The quality of this series is just endless. Phenominal storytelling and editing as always, great work!

[@pepperonue]

that hover glitch transition was awesome. cant wait for next part!

[@feargames4270]

I literally don't ever click any videos as quick as yours mate. Keep up the amazing work.

[@killerxtitan101]

thank you so much for making this video I'm going threw a jank breakup rn but i'm so hyped to watch this vid tonight before bed and it's gonna make my day.

[@SixxWolfZx]

I just started the video but a thought occured to me, that you may or may not have talked about in a video but... Speedrunning, the kind you guys did is a dying breed. Games can be patched anytime now, glitches gone, sequence breaks gone, exploits of any kind fixed. If you hadn't formatted the adventures through a story telling format who would? Who would document the amazing time you all had. It's like a story of adventurers plundering through the digitial dungeons. I love listening to and seeing what you and your friends did. Honestly I'm a little jealous that I never got to participate in these things because of a strict family that saw video games as bad but I'm also happy that I get to see and know everything that happened. Your videos are great, I'll be sad when the Jak series ends but thank you for making it.

[@ThaRixer]

Thanks man, every game has a deep speedrunning history, but the Jak community is a special one and i've decided I wanted to spend a good chunk of my life talking about it. As for the whole patching thing. A lot of newer games that are patchable usually have a workaround. Speedrunners typically play on a specific patch or find a way to downpatch games so that they don't have to play on newer versions that have glitches fixed and such. Occasionally devs will actually be helpful and patch out dumb skips or things like fps dependant tricks and such to equal the playing field, but that's not every game company. Thanks for the kind words man, you could still experience a new era in your favourite game though. Nothing is too late. Lots of games out there have very few runners and you could be a huge addition :)

[@Raffy3896]

it's a story about a game that i didn't play, about people that i don't even know, in a thing that barely matters to me... yet i'm soooo invested lmao. keep up the great work! cant wait for ERA V

[@TimSereda]

Finally, the era I remember. Great work as always

[@shovelclaws]

every time i see a new era video i get super excited, learning how this game has evolved has been super interesting, especially with how much knowledge you have about the game. i've literally never played a jak game before lol

[@TheLonelyKirby]

Haven’t thought about this series for months. Didn’t hesitate at all to watch it as soon as i saw it.

[@vTworz]

Actually some of the best content the speedrunning community has ever seen.

[@bud11_2]

Not only are these well written, the music choices and editing and everything are great too. Its easy to take that stuff for granted but all its really clean and consistent

[@tljscrewjob6397]

3:47 loving the Sly Cooper and the Thievious Raccoonus swamp…bayou level music in the background. The one with the voodoo alligator.

[@firehedgehog1446]

Mz. Ruby is the name of that voodoo gator

[@tljscrewjob6397]

@@firehedgehog1446 Thank you. I couldn’t remember it at the time I left the comment, but you’re right.

[@beincheekym8]

I keep saying it but your choice of background music consistently blows me away! Amazing series. This is truly inspiring. I love the addition of interviews and how they're woven within the story telling.

[@HunterNexos]

Man this is pure amazing! Love all of the videos from this series! Keep up the good work, we gotta get down to under 19min runs! :D

[@DinodanGaming]

These uploads are a welcome surprise, I love this series but between releases I do forget it exists honestly, this one has been the best so far!

[@monstarvirus0777]

Wow Ricky you never fail, I watched part 3 two days and saw that it was made 3 months ago and see the next part today 😂. Keep up the good work man love your content

[@ThaRixer]

Great coincidence 😎

[@monstarvirus0777]

Talk about an understatement

[@Bobster536]

Not only thing, but one i love is music choice for videos. Hearing sly and homm3 tracks makes me feel right at home.

[@MalMargaret]

Hearing Heroes 3 music always gets me hyped! Great video and, hope You will have a good day, night :D

[@crimzontoast7181]

Can't believe I grew up with this game and never knew all of this was happening to it..

[@gamz]

Same, these runners are unreal

[@DragonKingZero]

18:45 - Gotta love how one of the Jak series' biggest and most game-changing glitches just gets dropped into the video with basically no build-up whatsoever. XD

[@ProjectRocketCHNL]

Man, this is not only a really creative series its outstanding to watch! love it, keep it up king

[@LoZander]

Absolutely awesome storytelling (edit: i mean, presenting things well is absolutely an art, and you've consistently been doing an awesome job in this series). Top tier stuff. I'm looking forward to part V :D

[@julaizaya7946]

I was waiting so long for Era IV, absolutely amazing !!! Now I will waiting for Era V. Thanks for the video, greetings from Belgium.

[@warkdargon8337]

ITS HERE YESSSSS IM SO EXCITED THANK YOU 🔥🔥🔥 Ever since I saw the first video I've been so happy to see a childhood classic in the modern landscape of KZbin and seeing a Jak and Daxter community still alive and well is utterly heartwarming.

[@anonanon521]

With this addition the scope of the series becomes truly impressive. Great job weaving the narrative to be engaging while still delving into the minutia of Jak 3 tech. Bob’s best overall.

[@PremoSaysThings]

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR ANOTHER THARIXER VIDEO

[@volpe2077]

I know these probably won't do very well overall in terms of views, but THANK YOU for these! Such a pleasant blast from the past!

[@Eagle_RSTL]

Ricky after the week I've had man coming home sitting down and seeing that you uploaded another video completely made my day so much better, So much I had to tell you brother

[@ThaRixer]

Glad i could help brother that's my goal

[@firehedgehog1446]

Hearing about these burnouts is one reason why I refuse to get into speedrunning, because I don't want to get burnt out on games I really enjoy playing, I mean Jak 3 is one of my favorite PS2 games, and I want to play it to have fun, not to break the game in half just to get the fastest time

[@rewandemontay]

Slick documentary all the way throughout, top notch quality. They may take time to come, but the quality is clear.

[@maverickhunterstupidiocy7779]

I love how Yankee is almost always accompanied by breakcore.

[@unfunnytool]

Once again, showing that you are at the top of your game with these docs. Loving this series! Excited to see where the saga takes us

[@merkmons]

I just recently found this series and WOW! Ive played these games so much in my youth and didn't even realize there was always such a passionate community behind it! Sure, when I was younger I would now and then look up speedruns of Jak 2 and 3, and also watched some, but I think I never fully grasped just how much work and how much manpower it takes to actually make a speedrun come to fruition, not even talking about how much time it takes to practice and discover new ways to beat the game... this just blew me away I think I would like to extent my thanks for you making these videos and putting in so much work of researching, compiling and shortening the info and editing, they are such a blast to watch! You manage to make someone like me, who never actually watched speedruns that much up until now, understand whats going on and follow your points and the information perfectly! Cant wait for the next parts :D

[@ThaRixer]

Thank you!! And I'm glad you could find an appreciation for how much work us speedrunner put in 😌

[@Zion_-MAR-]

I love the story of Jak, but I never would've guessed that a speed running community had existed from this game. This is epic!

[@AnEvilpancake]

daaaaaamn im hooked on this series ! good job very entertaining

[@VoodooJonnyFear]

Hell yeah, I've been waiting so long for this! I'm not a speedrunner myself, but learning the history of runners for games I used to play all the time is super interesting, and I think you do the best job at telling those stories.

[@deancarruthers444]

This is such an interesting video series and funnily enough you were the reason I first considered even attempting to speedrun a game before I even realized you were the same person because of this series so just wanted to say thanks for that and I can't wait to see more of your content be it this series or whatever you decide to put out next.

[@ThaRixer]

Thank you!

[@DraenosHellfire]

Thanks for putting in so much work on these. The music is so good. Classic wow, Tekken. Ps1 era jungle

hey just wanted to say, I really love ur content and watched p much everything u upload, didnt see anything in my recommended or anywhere for the last 2 vids... These are so good idk maybe look into titling them differently even though I like the titles now, u deserve more recognition ❤ great work man

[@ThaRixer]

It's a passion project. The title is gonna stay the same, KZbin isn't going to recommend anything that's called part 2 or part 3 ever, so might as well just call it what I want 😌
