I completed Grounded in the WORST way possible.

[@ButchX3]

Through a corrupted hard drive and human error, I lost pretty much all of my grounded footage. This means the episodes where I faced: Hedge broodmother, Mantis, Wasp Queen and Director Schmector are gone. You can not fathom the immensity of my rage, disappointment and sadness about this. Im very sorry to those who were invested into the playthrough. This honestly could have happened at a worse time as I am away next week for my first holiday in 5 years But thank you all so much for the support on the series

[@TheCactusnamedMate]

Damn...

[@Delta45_]

Butch you should definitely start streaming so that we could watch even if the episodes corrupt

[@darksakura4040]

It's nae bother at all Butch, we all still showed up to watch and you still have NG+ where it all changes so you can exact your revenge on Shmector for your hard drive whenever you get back. Have a great vacation bro!

[@Delta45_]

@@darksakura4040 nvm just learned he does stream occasionally lol

@@ButchX3 uhm so there is actually one more thing... The Remix.R

[@bulasev]

Ehh.. I don't care about the corrupted hard drive. You had fun playing. I had fun watching you playing. Everyone had fun... and turning down the difficulty is not a sin in my eyes. I did the same thing for the normal broodmother and I did not feel bad at all. On a side note... don't be surprised how good this game was... Obsidian made some of the absolute best games of the decade.

[@dabegmister]

There is no shame with beating her on mild when you're running solo. I died laughing when you got shocked 😂😂😂

[@CodyTaylor115]

Damn... I won't lie I'm gutted was absolutely loving this play through. Your story crafting and editing was absolutely peak. Your combination of long cuts of gameplay and hitting the highlight was levels above other first playthrough series. Most people will just upload full streams of their adventures, which for me just isn't as fun or entertaining. So thank you for all the effort you put into this I was something I really looked forward too. It's a shame we lost that footage

[@GiraffesNRoses]

I am so sorry Butch. I know you put your heart into these episodes and i know you are probably just as devistated if not more than we are. I was excited for watch you fight the bosses, but just knowing that you did it and had fun with the game is a good consolation prize. Maybe one day youll do the ng+ run 😊

[@thundrgigglz3818]

LOL @39:30 Hearing the wonderful end game music, the overall positive vibes, and watching Butch get excited about his journey to the SPAC.R unit, only to land directly on the electric outlet. Haha!

[@wafflesyt2715]

Wonderful playthrough and it sucks that the footage of you defeating all the other bosses got corrupted and lost but at least you were still able to record the last finishing touch of grounded. I think your next big playthrough should definitely be Ark Scorched Earth map with a whole bunch of different animals, bosses, and enviorment which just allows to have new non repeative content for another Ark playthrough we would all love to watch it!

[@mtr1der]

I was confused by the title thinking how in the hell did he finish the game so quick! Haha! Man that’s a real shame and I’m sorry that that’s happened to you mate. I was definitely looking forward to each and every episode but none the less as they say in my country “sh*t happens” 😂 you’ve gained a supporter in me for your next game/movie. Much love mate!

[@leekotrlik4401]

Don't even worry about it, my friend. I am still here with you for whatever story you have to tell. Side Note - You certainly have a voice for narration. Like, on the level of highly regarded and famous narrators of prime TV and movies. You have a gift.

[@zulamaril]

Seriously though, I love your pacing and voice and clarity. If you get into narrating audiobooks, i'd check it out for sure!

Loved the play through Butch! It's a shame about the lost episodes but it's out of your control. Glad I got to see the infected broodmother fight, and I'm impressed you beat the final battle on your first try! Thanks for another great series!!!

[@rainlordd]

Super unfortunate that it has to end this way but these episodes have really made my days much better. Looking forward to whatever series comes next

Butch NEEDS to play thank goodness you’re here. The hard drive is a shame but at least we got a few episodes at all. It’s not your fault so there’s that

[@cederholm_44]

Sucks that we couldn't see but its not your fault, i loved this series as a long time grounded fan, you should do a Ark scorched earth next

[@Dj_Une]

I'm so glad you enjoyed this massively overlooked game. It was one of my best gaming experiences with a group of friends. Shame about the footage, but I've enjoyed the playthrough, thank you! Enjoy the vacation 🤩

[@JohnBohlo]

Damn man, that's tough. Can't wait to see what's next though. Great series, despite the bittersweet ending.

[@Kagedtiger]

I'm sorry about your lost footage - if it makes you feel any better, it's probably worst for you; we don't know what we missed, so it doesn't make a huge difference to us. Also on the subject of making you feel better - no shade for turning the difficulty down on the brood mother! My partner and I played the game when it first came out and it was so hard we just turned off damage altogether! You did amazingly well; you should be proud.

[@chickadeedeedee5429]

That last death where Pete stepped on a power outlet and fricken died while hopeful music was play was hilarious. Imagine that was canon. How anticlimactic.

[@blakekujawa7885]

Just saying once u beat the broodmother mantis and wasp queen and beat the story I don’t want to spoil it for u but there’s a secret place that turns ur world into a whole new mode called new game plus with different rescources and special enemy’s and it restarts the story with new weapons and tier 4

[@Solluna_eclipse]

Didn’t he find it but didn’t have the requirements for new game+

[@shontsue8672]

Yes

[@Hunterdb01]

Butch there is still stuff to do check the wall behind the pond for even more stuff to do

[@TheNecronomica]

Seeing the massively upgraded and decorated base after that gut-wrenching intro actually made my heart sink. :( It's been such a fun journey following you through this serries and discovering everything this wonderful game has to offer. While i'm glad that we have an end at all its just so massively depressing to know how much was lost. I can't even begin to fathom how this must feel for you. But hey, you can't learn lessons if nothing bad ever happens! In the end we watch because of you and not the game. Keep on keeping on! (And congratulations on the stag dew and wedding!!!!)

[@Mr_FringMP]

I was looking forward to all the boss fights but the stupid hard drive messed up oh well I’m also looking forward to the next series maybe?either way good luck butch❤

[@reddemon6668]

A shame considering the thing I enjoy the most about reactions are the first impressions of things. To see u fight the infected broodmother already knowing what to expect is really disappointing especially after investment in these episodes. This hurts

[@j.simic2504]

after everything he went through in this episode alone, its the outlet that got him in the end

[@AlexHuntercreativememory]

Absolutely loved this series! Can’t wait for the next!

[@_burd.]

Still ended as the number one PVPVE UK Grounded champion in our hearts. Was a good run mate!

[@Ianhulshofcr7]

I really don’t want to be a spoiler but I really would love it if you know this cause you can go to new game+ it’s way more fun that’s all I’m saying about new game+, but I just don’t want the series to end while there still so much more to discover, I hope you’re gonna make videos about that. But I just wanna really thank you for your content you really entertain me cause there are very little fun KZbinr that play grounded, and you really entertaint me, remember the like secret door you found with like 4 sort of glitchy screens with sort of bosses on it and a coffe pot? that my tip hope you do something with it. I really hope you see my comment and don’t stop with grounded and go to new game+, it would be really fun! Last thank you to you butchx3.

[@Jay_Dee420]

Did you try to repair the corrupted drive using command prompt "chkdsk"? well worth a try if you still want the footage.

[@AidThePaid28]

Sorry to hear about the corrupted hard drive and losing all the footage. We still love you Butch!

[@AidThePaid28]

I'm glad you enjoyed the game and if you feel like revisiting it, there is always new game +

[@daleh.7711]

I did the exact same thing on the outlet. I saw that coming and laughed so hard. We1ll, time for Green Hell.

[@dabegmister]

The infected broodmother is hard Because everytime she hits you she stacks negative effects on you that last through the fight, some making your heals almost do nothing. You gotta stack your own effects through slurries . I have come close to beating her.I just haven't beat her yet

[@MiaNova21]

Im sorry that happened. I enjoyed watching the series!

[@Bobdafishy123]

Came for ark, stayed for the grounded. Loved the playthrough!

Its all good bro, we still love you. After your break, I'd love to see you play stranded deep.

i only read the title, please dont let it end...

[@xDarkTrinityx]

firstly, I am so sorry for your footage loss. I really wanted to see it but damn if we all know technology can be a real bitch sometimes... secondly, I had plenty of trouble trying to beat the infected broodmother as well, even though I was technically easiest setting (I was custom since I played since prelaunch and had a few settings changed) so I can't blame you for going down a level. She is a really tough fight and honestly felt more rewarding having a boss not be as easy as the rest

[@Delta45_]

Dam thats really sad brother i really wanted to see you fight the wasp queen and mantis

Now that we’re at the end of Grounded you’ve probably got your next game lined up but if not I’d like to suggest Breathedge. In one sentence it can be described as “Subnautica in space.” but that does the game a disservice. The writing and sarcastic humor in the game make it truly great.

[@GolemCC]

Breathedge is the most aggressively unfunny game I've ever played, it's uninspiring, and it intentionally wastes your time.

Looks like someone was born without a sense of humor.

My dear. Not sure if you just don't watch other YT channels but, pretty much, every KZbinr I've watched has done LPs of Grounded. You're the last one, of my favorite KZbinrs to play it, I think. IMO it's not underrated at all. It's a great game. I've finished it myself. Even though, I do want to start a new play through since I didn't do all the side bosses. And new ones have been added, since then too.

Butch, why did you put a 15 minute black screen after your credits, then put the first 2 minutes and 9 seconds of the video at the end? Why Butch? Why? Anyways maybe you should change your motto from 'Save the Game' to 'Backup the Footage' then eh? You big oaf.

[@NKO77357]

Probably just forgot to delete it after copy pasting it to the beginning.

Why is there like 15 mins of a black screen followed by the into to the video at the end, guessing you messed up in the editing or something
