[@Caiyde]

Horrifyingly, the CEO of Arrowhead Game Studios has confirmed that Helldivers aren't clones - each and every death is in fact a separate citizen of Super Earth who was born to loving parents, grew up under Managed Democracy, and enlisted to do their part in liberating the galaxy. That's why body type and voice are set to random by default - because every time you drop, you do so as a whole new person :')

I am sure the Ministry of Unity thinks about making the consumption of these drinks mandatory on Liberty day.

[@ProfWulfenstein]

I love how offended he is that the keg of seltzer was out, and he had the same reaction that Captain Jack sparrow does when he finds the rum gone. I love this channel, this show, and this man. It's always worth a freaking watch.

[@howtodrink]

Thank you!

[@SuperGuyko]

Did you know? The S.E.A.F. Field manual recommends drinking the "S.E.A.F. Artillery" Cocktail (which is sanctioned by the ministry of unity, of course ) out of one of the discarded shells of the AC-8 Autocannon! Drink responsibly, recycle effectively and demolish mercilessly in one package deal!

[@rdytmire]

Sharing with your political officer is not frowned upon. Gotta have 2 shells for this of course, but who doesn't these days?

[@ramael3299]

@@rdytmire If you're ever out of empty AC shells, you are not spreading enough democracy!

[@fresnel149]

I was going to say the SEAF Artillery should be drank out of a spent shell casing, but I can't think of any casing of the appropriate size. Perhaps a cut-down shell from the recoilless rifle, assuming it's similar in size to the modern Carl Gustav M3?

[@Golden_Spider666]

19:43. Helldivers are not clones actually. each new reinforce is by game canon an entirely new person. this is a fact that is pretty hidden but if you go back to the tutorial and read the little contract that you sign it says that "when you die all your armor/weapons and your ship are passed on to the next helldiver to be defrosted"

[@mr.bluesky4130]

I love how even little things like the in game diver customization page adds to that, you can select randomly choosing one of the voices upon revive is literally because it’s different people each time. So much good shit in this nightmare

I want to say I am so happy to see fun Greg return. I have been enjoying the last few episodes so much because you just seem more present, happier, etc. Idk if it is a life change, a content change, or what, but your upbeat, fun, easy-to-wach vibe in these last few episodes is why I fell in love with this show 3-4 years ago.

[@chrismanuel9768]

Agreed

[@willdouglas7572]

First video of I watched from you was about Destiny, then you made one on one of my favorites of all time with Hades, and now you're making a video on another game I've been loving lately! Thanks for being my introduction into mixology, and giving me plenty of ideas for drinks to make throughout the years.

[@draexian530]

"... jokes on him; I can't read." got my drink on my shirt. Great throwaway.

[@ronaldannas1935]

My mom makes her own vanilla extract. It's vanilla beans in premium bourbon. Set aside for a few months. Best extract ever.

[@-Subtle-]

If you haven't played this game, I have found it to be one of the least toxic ones I've played. I have over 100 hours and have only encountered 1 person who was toxic.

[@egg_addict]

especially considering how many active players it has (over 100k on steam, which is huge, top 5 constantly rn), it's really impressive how not toxic the community seems to be

[@blackdog6969]

It honestly takes me back to the 360 Live days with how chill everyone is and just how you can have a laugh with randoms again.

[@BobbyMcBobPants]

I think because the game is exclusively coop it tilts the scales in favor of folks who just want to get it done. I spend most of my time taking newbies under my wing and letting them tool around with the exosuit and stuff while I just JAR-5 everything around

[@jrac6712]

Okay This is incredibly funny They just put out an official Va-11 Hall-A cocktail book and there's a recipe for "beer" really close to yours It's hopped whiskey, malt soda, and prosecco

[@wynjones2877]

A friend and I discovered a new use for Ango - a few drops in Blue Moon Belgian White ale adds a lovely hit of spice.

[@LexMc0606]

I personally find that Blue Moon Belgian White is one of my favorite beers to date, and this sounds LOVELY.

[@TCovenantUnbeliever]

Great episode. I will not stop suggesting that you make drinkable versions of the cocktails from "A Bit of Fry and Laurie".

[@TheDrunkenPhaeron]

I would like to point out that the engineer aboard your ship mentions getting a shipment of "purples" and she mentions it is fruit and how they aren't her favorite but it's good to have something different so Super Earth does in fact get their people fresh produce from time to time

[@Brady_Morningstar]

I don't know if you would want to do it, but Honkai Star Rail recently had an event where you can make cocktails in game, and they had a jazz show where they showed some cocktails at the end of it. Could be a fun episode.

[@harryhewson2382]

idk if Greg's willing to play a gacha game but it's definitely worth a shot

[@Klide-dorf]

I didnt even know this one existed until Greg mentioned it in the Doritos video. Im here to serve now! Even if it's 4 months late.

[@UltraVioletOne]

The episodes have been absolute fire lately. Not sure what's different, maybe that there's a lot more video game, or game adjacent content. IDK. Keep it up Greg. ♥

[@brentwynne4912]

Just whipped up some Liber-Tea (sans fire hazard) There's something here. The reduced coke and mezcal play super well together with the cinnamon. I feel like I need to play with either the type or amount of citrus some to tailor it, but damn good right out of the gate.

Greg: as a Malta Goya Enjoya, I have always considered it to taste like Raisin Bran Flake-Soda, and what I assume an unfermented wort tastes like. You took my logical conclusion and just said “this is 80% beer already, so let’s just finish the job how we know how”

[@Anthony-rg4hy]

Hey man, I just want to say it's been a long-time watcher. You're amazing with the whole setup and content. Not gonna lie. Your drinks opened up opportunities for me I wouldn't have had if I didn't decide to make them in the moment. Keep this going for as long as possible, man.

"I've tried; you don't watch it." But I do, Greg. I even rewatch them. ☹

[@pegas1ster]

love the video game and dnd themed episodes! Unrelated, have you ever or would you consider doing an episode of sugar-free drinks? I'm trying to manage my blood sugar, but I still sometimes crave a fancy cocktail!

[@ryanferrara2488]

I use a fifth of Captain Morgan Spiced Rum and 15ish Madagascar vanilla beans, put the beans in stick it in a cabinet and shake it up every now and then and in about 6 months you'll get a really good vanilla extract (in my opinion). It ends up being cheaper in the long run and tastes great. I'm sure there are better ways to do it but that is just a quick blurb about how I make mine. Love the channel, keep up the good work.

[@kyidro]

Excited to attempt making one of these. Also I loved the Perka Cola episodes! Stupid algorithm.

[@toastyyy106]

GREG!!!! I am in love with this new angle. (maybe it's not new but i've been away for a while) the leaning in close to the camera is very much working for you. I hope it's not bad on your back because Please keep this up. the greg chat hunch is my new favorite thing. thanks.

[@Rolandais]

Missed out on a great chance to use Castor Oil for your vanilla flavoring, they'd use that on Super Earth, Beaver Buttgland Oil

Greg I’m loving the use of multiple camera angles now. Getting democracy for all sides!

[@austinzumwalt5062]

I'm glad you used hop extract in a drink. I've been curious about the use

[@GrayVBoat]

The "cacophony of flavors" for the SEAF Artillery drink is actually quite appropriate, considering the assortment of different shells each time you find one.

[@0000Sierra117]

I know I'm late to the party (I found this video by you mentioning it in a newer episode), but this was a really fun episode! I haven't played HDII but watched friends do so and I'm a fan of a lot of grim sci-fi and cyberpunk so found the idea of faked/artificial (heavy air quotes) drinks rather than things like fresh fruit or fermented ingredients fascinating. Plus the idea of being able to make tasty drinks from highly concentrated and shelf-stable extracts is a cool region of the flavor map to explore.

[@Ljplaysplanes]

*Greg dying* Ah It’s like swallowing a golf ball, It’s fantastic!

[@zacharydavis9574]

I've been waiting for you to make this video since I heard this voice line in-game.

[@washinthewind]

Great ep and I've been loving HD2. I'm also a big fan of the "looking at close up cam" angle. It's great for your quippy asides.

[@RaxorX]

Just when i was thinking of what Liber-tea would be this comes around.

[@lumberjackmagnum7416]

I don't think that Greg has produced a drink early in a video for us since 2018. Always love your videos, no matter the beverage.

[@curryandrice7764]

For the liber-tea, could always use Tatratea~ A couple of higher % bottles exist, and they do pack a punch that will hit ya like grenade if you're not too careful

[@IMGrasstopher]

I just finished watching the Doritos episode and you mentioned this one, which I somehow DID NOT notice when it was published? I don't watch every episode but I always adore your content and this one is right up my alley because the premise is so silly. Anyway, if you see this Greg, I'm sorry but I'm here now

[@kantoraxg.2491]

Could you try the 'Pepperoni' with other soft drinks?

[@carlwergin9147]

your doritos liquor episode made me watch this episode. Its quite amusing how much more rosy you look on an episode that you are toasty in.

[@VlogCandyMinus]

Hey Greg. I love the show. Dont know when it would come up but I had a recipe I wanted you to try out. I saw a bottle of grenadine the other day and my brain went "grenadini" then i googled it and found out thatbit sone how wasnt a thing. I then asked chat gpt to make me a recipe and this is what it gave me. Grenadini Cocktail: Ingredients: 1 1/2 oz vodka 1 oz pomegranate juice 1/2 oz lemon juice 1/2 oz simple syrup Club soda Ice cubes Pomegranate seeds (for garnish) Lemon twist (for garnish) Instructions: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes. Add vodka, pomegranate juice, lemon juice, and simple syrup to the shaker. Shake well until the mixture is thoroughly chilled. Strain the mixture into a glass filled with ice cubes. Top off with club soda to your preference. Garnish with a few pomegranate seeds and a twist of lemon. Enjoy your refreshing Grenadini cocktail!

[@hoshi-15]

Japan is really popular for their pop up cafes. It’d be so cool if helldivers could do one with drinks like these even though I know it’d be difficult to pull off. Greg’s bug eyes as he finds out he drank all the seltzer was also hilarious

[@adams3627]

A few drops of angostura bitters seem like a fitting reward for completing a personal order. Think I'll treat myself to some tonight. For Managed Democracy!

[@bard2874]

I know I've said this before, but you should definitely do an episode on Deep Rock Galactic, especially if you like Helldivers so much. Deep Rock has a pretty big focus on alcohol, and there are a BUNCH of drinks to choose from that are super creative and thematically interesting. On top of that, it's also just a really fun game.

[@MikeV1018]

ROCK AND STONE!

[@Emergz]

Coming back here to comment that I watched this episode when it originally came out but I'm watching it again to increase its view count since in the most recent episode Greg said no one watched it. Some days being a contrarian is its own reward.

[@LeojPies]

Big fan of this secondary camera angle.

[@AxelLeJeff]

Set out to make Liber-tea, made a stim instead.

[@SuperStarr817]

This was a solid episodes and I'd love to make the first drink.

[@ChainerSeraphim]

Curious Greg if you could make a playlist of videos with non-alcoholic drinks. I really have an interest in these alternatives, least of all as a hosting option. I'm even going to dedicate a tap on my kegerator to topo chico or other non-alc stuff.

[@ElSuperNova23]

Yo Greg, been a few months since I tuned in but since when did you get the lab hotplate stirrer + temp probe? I use them every day in a Org Chem research lab and always wanted one for the kitchen, but they're hideously expensive

[@ChainerSeraphim]

As a homebrewer, you can find ways. A yeast starter stir plate and an instant read thermometer, followed by MacGyver-esk ingenuity to work for your situation. Homebrewers are creative and/or cheap.

[@teamcyeborg]

The low-angle camera shots make me feel like I'm being interrogated, I love it

[@aenamabag]

Can relate. I have a 6 tap Keezer, one of which is for water, and it's gotten so bad that when it runs out we just don't drink water. It's like we forget that there's a perfectly good tap with flat water that comes out. (A little trick if you don't already do this, you can force carbonate your water by cranking the c02 then attaching the line to the output and vigorously shaking it for about 4 minutes. I suppose there's some risk to it, but I've done it once or twice a week for close to a decade and never had a problem. Just keep it moving and you can hear if the c02 is slowing down its flow. Make sure you pull the line immediately, basically while still shaking, so it doesn't have a chance to shoot liquid back up your c02 hose)

[@ryefry]

Apparently not sold everywhere, but a way better version of cinnamon whiskey is Sinfire. Made by Hood River Distillery in Oregon. 70 proof, not sweet, actually burns a little.

[@ProfVonSpeelman]

Love the episode, and I appreciate the normalization of "that's locker room talk, let's not say it"

[@Serketry88]

Fittingly for a Liber-tea, this looks like it started out as a Cuba Libre, just... concentrated, and with some extra steps.

[@gamedeathmatch]

I was waiting for this one

[@therealdanherrick3805]

The people who didn't watch the Perk-a-Cola episode are severely missing out if only for revolution that is Ginger Extract. It's completely changed my Ginger Syrup game and I'm never going back.

[@TemporalandReaty]

Sorry about not watching this earlier, was a bit busy with Democracy Thanks for the shoutout about it existing in the Dorito Alcohol video

[@Draukagrissah]

Okay this episode is just hitting right in all my favorite hyper focuses. You would be completely safe to try using more of those hops, we all know how much you like doing cool stuff with bitter and non-sweet flavors! Before being used to flavor beer hops oil was medicine. The reason it has warnings is that it does have compounds which act as a depressant, but much like alcohol has been used medicinally for centuries. A couple of drops of hops oil under the tongue was considered an appropriate adult dose for "insomnia". So even accounting for how bulletproof people in Ye Olden Days were to depressants I think you could do a full drop in a beer. I'm certain there are some IPAs with significantly more, I just don't know the exact math.

[@Menhtrol]

Never question the greatness of Liber-tea. 😆👍

[@twostroke350]

Your "democracy draught" is exactly what people did in Iceland during their prohibition -which went up to 1989 when (inexplicably) beer was banned but you could buy spirits. People added vodka (or if they were absolute animals, local brenevin) to either malt drink or alcohol free pilsner. You can still buy both at most bars because people got a taste for it.

[@nasmannen]

Idea for an episode maybe? See what cool drinks you could make from limited, maybe viewer submitted liqour cabinettes? I never have acess to (or could afford) most of the spirits you use.
