Ok, I laughed my ass off while watching this. All of us can relate to this guy's frustrations with the continuous pop-ups and error messages. Well done.

[@shanemcknight1583]

Brilliant!!! A well balanced SciFi- we can really relate to his frustration!

[@nixer8984]

Bob's Discount Galactic Weaponry....Love it.

[@jmconradie_VARIETY_playlists]

This is exactly what my computer has been doing due to all these compulsory updates from all the BigTech companies. We're helpless in their grubby hands and now that they are aligned with government, regulations cause more updates until nothing works. This movie is a prophetic masterpiece in a very short few minutes. The only "help-desk" call that I've seen which is even more realistic than this one, is the one in Transformers 1 when the soldiers need to make an emergency call while Scorpion attacks.

[@danielhanawalt4998]

Haven't we all experienced this? Updates and interruptions? Buffering? Freezing? I totally understand smashing some device.

[@MAILLADY2010]

Yes but did you turn it off, wait a minute and turn it back on? My personal favorite: is it plugged in? ❤

[@greyman1k]

Excellent! This concept should be used in ALL space vids and movies. Ultimate believability.

[@sonnyjs15]

Totally relatable. Loved it.

[@perfectionbox]

Those farmers with John Deere equipment have probably experienced something similar

[@kurtweiand7086]

This was so original, so true to a point. An 😉 enjoyable film. Thank you!

[@rolandrick]

Welcome to the world of subscription models.

[@nhsgrad]

This sums up most of my electronic and digital experiences.

[@bjb7587]

Always start with the hardware layer.

[@integritystudiosinternatio5004]

You should have ended the video by zooming in on the weapon to see it finally come “online” and functional. That would have been funny. 😃👍🏻

[@redsaturnmedia]

funny you say that! we were toying around with having that as a post-credit scene but ended up cutting it out!

[@petergianarakos9203]

AWWWW.......

[@barryulrich2170]

Wow, just like real life.

[@user-gj7hx4ry3g]

When I saw that it was only six minutes, I knew that it was going to be good. Didn't realize that it would be great!

[@DennisHolmberg-sl1hz]

This is why we will not have computers running Galactica!!!

[@BobCtabtree-pl6xq]

Genius.

[@timg6930]

I was not too sure what to expect. So glad I clicked on this video.

[@MiguelDiaz041]

I just saw this and the spaceship! Great work Xander!

[@Screenverseuk]

Very well done guys, very well made!

[@user-kd1uu3dx3z]

I was expecting to find out he was playing a video game. Very well done!

[@monnoo8221]

the eternal parable about discount software and its bugs.... a deadly combination LOOOOL

[@mierbeuker8148]

Lol, really funny. I feel like I have a lot of gear like that. Never working when I really need it. Especially those cursed updates. Why can't they just make a product that just works? Imagine having a car that you have to take to the mechanics every day to update, just so you can drive it for a while.

[@panzerabwerkanone]

You mean a Tesla?

[@Bob20011492]

Entirely accurate. I'm not sure we'll EVER get past the need for updates, since it seems like EVERYTHING is now controlled by software. But wait! Version 2.01.a.09x will fix all the problems that you've experienced up to now. Please deposit 2000000 credits to download this patch...

[@sandrajones1609]

A fun "thinker" flick 😏 Thanks for sharing your time and talents with all! Much gratitude ❣️

[@davehudl3593]

Imagine a world where you have to pay a subscription to enable features on your self driving car only to have it drive itself back to the dealership when the loan payment fails. Oh, hang on....

[@marschma]

in the sequel, klippy pops up trying to help him with his update.

[@speakingwithoutnet]

OK, wasn't expecting much, but I was honestly pleasantly surprised. Very funny work.

[@darthvirgin7157]

i don’t know if it was intentional or not, but the subtle “smiley face” in the puff of smoke was fittingly appropriate.

[@daphnedixon36]

Hillarious from start to finish. I'm still laughing!😂

[@BatMan-oe2gh]

Reminder, get updates before leaving home.

[@oldbluesboy]

Excellent, just so!

[@billc6087]

Brilliant!

[@flamindigo]

That is exactly what is already wrong with the internet AND why we should NEVER switch to cloud-based automatic appliances.

[@dbadaddy7386]

This is like clicking on a Zoom link seconds before the show starts and discovering the need for several minutes of updates

[@BruceK10032]

We've all been there!

[@craigmurrayauthor]

well done

[@cheeseburgersunited]

sfm got a massive graphics update

[@metaspherz]

Humans when A.I. takes over weapons updates and licensing agreements.

[@leonkane8240]

But ohooow nohoooow he did not want to spend the extra couple hundred galactic credits on the upgrade to a "brand name" blaster with personal mobile force field package!! armature!

[@donaldjones8920]

Very nice and original. Thank you.

[@frankjad]

Closed captioning for interested hard of hearing people?

[@redsaturnmedia]

Brilliant point! Definetly something we're going to try and get added to this and our other films over the next few days, and will aim to add to our future films going forward!

[@redsaturnmedia]

we've just added some!

[@ramadaxl]

I cracked up with laughter....SOOOO relatable !

[@vivcooper305]

Brill

[@petergianarakos9203]

Hey guys, that was really good. I just loved it. There are day's when I feel exactly the same. I even say "Ah Shit"....

[@Malbeefance]

Awesome! That was funny.

[@m118lr]

Funny..nice for a change! Great job..

[@thebigdog2295]

All I can say is 😅😂🤣, well done. We all have days like this. Excellent work.

[@redsaturnmedia]

Thanks 👍

[@schautamatic]

Gort’s about to fry you, so “enjoy your imminent defeat”! 🤦🏻‍♂️😄

[@radiosilence599]

If Apple made a laser gun.

[@kevynhansyn2902]

The "I gun"

[@charlessomerset9754]

Future mercenaries will all look like a cross between football hooligans and Barnabas Collins?

[@dake4629]

Should have had a linux operating system.

[@jamiepatterson1214]

Great work! When you need customer service in a hurry, you learn you're SOL. But not to worry because you don't need them anymore.

[@davidhill8362]

Bravo bravo clap clap

[@svglorious]

Finally, the reality of all things technical….

[@RustyNeverSleepz]

Lol! This was great!

[@gaylandbarney2231]

EXACTLY ........i'm not a gamer at all , but the metaphor was very cool....the hrs. listening to muzac , only to be redirected and hung up on...............perfect.....there are days i nearly wish for this and

[@janejanis9199]

good one!!

[@charlesharper7292]

Cool monster! Discount rifles?🤣🤣 I'll take my old M1A any time!🤣 Thanks!👍👍

[@krisaaron5771]

5:32 God, do I know that feeling!!

[@hadassahm3016]

So relatable 😂

[@mierbeuker8148]

Who made a rifle using windows?

[@HookBeak_66]

My curiosity wanted to know what his weapon messages said...? Then I just wanted the alien robot to ... ? If you watch it, you'll find out.

[@qmnnvrdyz8965]

Lol, that was great!

[@mortarmopp3919]

That was too funny.

[@TheReverb1]

...very stupid bounty hunter to not cover from the monster when he was unarmed. No fear nothing

[@raypitcher9767]

Why not just run or make a trade for a brand new pair of underpants ?

[@DavidFrankal]

We've all been there

[@pendopendo7166]

If it ran on Linux he would not have those pesky update problems, it would just function. LINUX proudly supporting ‘Intergalactic Arms’ Interesting take on the never own your purchases World

[@dirkbruere]

If Microsoft made weapons

[@SF-fb6lv]

Too realistic...

[@davidknight3249]

lol

[@bradgarrett7790]

I was waiting for it to get to the part where some East Indian woman picks up the phone and starts speaking in a heavy accent that he could not understand. LOL

[@Kurrgas]

it was mah but better than my lol i see how ur gonna turn out in another 10 years myg 💕💕🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@sigrun1575]

LOL

[@daliaamr9075]

Great job...Genuis idea....but very few views 💔

[@officialpoppyperson]

Thank god TF2 doesn’t update. We’d really have to deal with that! …this is a reference to the hit hat themed war simulator, Team Fortress 2.

[@stevemcannally6513]

Enjoy your imminent defeat. Hilarious.

[@Graeme_Lastname]

Windoze 25?

[@fredpnet]

😄

[@WickedPrince3D]

Pft, you are a bug, trying to stay concealed out in the open when there is forest all around?

[@redsaturnmedia]

we were homing noone would notice that bit...

[@WickedPrince3D]

@@redsaturnmedia From a movie producers standpoint I can recognize that having the MC out in the open made it easier to film him from different angles and distances. ;)

[@Max_El_viroloTR]

No se porque pero pensé que se refería al de el TF2 jajaja

[@DamiXGuin]

yo igual

[@JirkaNavratil]

😃😃😃

[@ExCeterainc]

I prefer tf2 expiration date

[@cliffontheroad]

Running gag of rifle pop-up ran longer than the movie itself. Plus at 460 dpi, only a few words were viewable. For these, a down vote. My disappointment magnified because there are good elements of this film.

[@redsaturnmedia]

Yeah thats definetly something we realised recently and we've made an effort to fix for future projects! Glad you enjoyed it otherwise though!

[@iq3458]

Nonsens 👎🏼

[@joshhayl7459]

🟦... I enjoyed this, but I sympathize and share in his frustration, I Too had to stop this video SEVERAL times to hold it up to a mirror so I could read the message that he was seeing,... it probably would have been best to spare us the aggravation & made ALL the shots of the messages from HIS perspective so we don't have to stop and magnify to read the blurry backwards lettering on his virtual screen!

[@redsaturnmedia]

Good point! Definetly something we're bearing in mind for future projects...
