Anyone here NEEDS to watch EnglishBen's GTA Tightened Thrice run too, where Josh does the co-commentary. The back and forth between them in that run and in this run were the highlights of ESA for me.

[@ChaosPootato]

They work really well together

[@realcartoongirl]

oh he uploadef at the same time

[@Joshimuz]

@@realcartoongirlThis looks like a professional collaboration move... but it's actually purely accidental ahahah

Josh didn't just comment, he was roasting 😂

yeah it's better than plushies being made the attention

I wanna say it right off the start: Big fan of "almost half the screen" josh and ben.

[@sweetpepino1907]

I'm an almost half the screen fan of Big Ben and Josh

[@KenTails]

31:35 Wait... the characters are swapped in this cutscene

[@MiniMackeroni]

What do you mean? It's a totally normal cutscene.

[@inkco420]

Ben and you are prime combination dude!!! I watched this fully live- and then re-watched few days later on twitch and now I'm rewatching here :D

[@theblackcircle6648]

Hey Josh i i don’t comment much or participate in chats a lot. I been a fan for years (2019) But I’m in all your streams and videos and i just wanna say, you are the bomb dude. If you ever read this, do not stop speed running! They are very fun to watch and love this ESA speed run! Much gratitude and sincerity!

"Tetris is a something" joshimuz 2024

[@2brk2hvhndl]

Ah yes England and UK. Two very very distinct and separate countries.

[@wirti94]

I guess they wanted emphasize that he is ENGLISH Ben, so put the flag of England there :D

[@basubk6643]

yeah i was wondering the same that why they put two different flags.

[@BleedingCarrot]

Well, England is distinct from the UK. Same as Wales and Scotland and Ireland are.

[@wirti94]

@@BleedingCarrot In what form are distinct? I'm not a Brit, what I know is the UK consists of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. That's why I didn't know why they highlighted in the case of English Ben that he's from England but not for Josh. As I know he's from England too, not Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland and he got the Union Jack flag

[@BleedingCarrot]

@@wirti94 I guess English Ben is just English Ben, and thus they highlighted the fact. But the UK is what it stands for: the United Kingdom. Under that kingdom exists nations such as the English, the Scottish, the Welsh and the Northern Irish. And before they all became the United Kingdom, they were separate nation states, thus making them distinct even today.

[@kaiserruhsam]

well done josh playing on the correct version

55:30 "thay got ar pee ghees!" 🤣 You know Josh loves this mod, I like listening to him talk about the extra additions to the mod. Can't wait to try it eventually

[@ApacheSmash]

The World Is Not Enough, Goldeneye, Dr. No, You Only Live Twice and of course From Russia With Love What do all these things have in common? That's right Tetris

[@dzemo_p]

What an amazing speedrun to watch, never has a better duo appeared at ESA - Josh and Ben! Godspeed.

[@artemkatelnytskyi]

The amount of content added by one person is absolutely insane.

[@LK.Cynric]

Damn the practice really payed off this was so clean! Also amazing comentary. Really fun to watch. Cant wait to see the rest of the game done!

[@NoProHarrie]

From Russia with love; Tetris documentary!

[@sikachu]

1:20:08 I have so much PTSD from Tightened+Winter mod stream you did a while back 🤣 Edited: LOL you did mentioned it later after you passed the mission. Yep, that was a really memorable run.

[@AkiraMiles]

11:49 the spectators in the background flippin off like the sa npcs, lmao

[@elevenears4785]

so nice to see pure enjoyment. Well done, Josh and Ben and other nice person.

[@minirop]

Watching Ben's run then this one back to back was enjoyable. My favourite mission was Tetris.

[@goro158]

I love the banter between Josh and Ben, both in this and the Tightened Trice runs ♥ Since EBen is going full time streamer, maybe there could be some more collabs between the two of you? Maybe some races or something?

[@KoylTrane]

Eben and Josh's hostile dynamic is a sight to behold

[@rsr2121]

31:43 nice cutscene

[@Fry_tag]

Interesting how Josh has the Union jack as his flag and Ben the English one.

[@diewott1337]

Yeah, noticed that too

[@Joshimuz]

Ben HATES Scotland Wales and Northern Ireland

[@wilbo_baggins]

Well he is ENGLISH Ben. Otherwise he would be United Kingdom Ben.

Im gonna agree with Ben here. If youre planning a public release make sure that person who knows/+ is good at this game gets a challenge but limit.. the *_BULLSHIT_* If youre making it 'for speedrunners , by speedrunners' then make it only available via page/discord only accessable if you have verified run on a leaderboard.

[@RobbieBeswick]

Make game harder by making cj fat so he can’t jump.. place fastest bike in the game with a ramp.. what’s the point? Making the game harder then easier? It’s just a mod to stop speed runners doing speed run strats

[@sikachu]

I'm glad that you uploaded this here! I only caught like the last part of the run live, and felt like it's gonna be a while before VOD is up on ESA channel 🥹. That was a good run!

[@Tukoi-]

Ben is annoying af can’t stand him

[@RobbieBeswick]

Vice city tightened is ‘give npcs bigger guns, make the game harder’ SA is ‘pop your tires on a race’.. this ‘tightened is just stupid

[@murderyoutubeworkersandceos]

since this is joshus channel, i can say this: i like watching speedruns of the games i know, with hosts who have personalities, things to say and can speak the language clearly, instead of some obscure garbage from ps1, run by a stuttering autist, who mutters sth in broken english. Gta, especially SA is done every year and has been done to death, and yet these playthroughts carry esa and gdq.

[@AdisPlays]

It’s impressive Josh managed to do the whole run without a single mission fail even though CJ was barely alive at just 1 health. And the RNG was definitely in his favor. The biggest obstacle in this run was definitely English Ben roasting Josh from time to time 😂 This was very entertaining and fun to watch ❤
