[@audiosurfarchive]

THOR: CAN I HAVE A CHANCE TO KNOW AND/OR GET THE SOUND CLIP/SAMPLE OF THE STOCK SEXY LADY YOU USE ALL THE TIME, PROMINENTLY IN THE MINDJACK™ SEGMENT? My wife has wanted it as a text message notification, and I haven't been able to rip it cleanly or in high bitrate from your vids..

[@donkeypong1847]

Please play Geist for Game Cube!!!

[@audiosurfarchive]

YT ate my other comment. Could you please point me to the lady sample/stock sound you use all the time notably in Mindjack this vid? My wife wants it for a phone notie sound and I'd love to surprise her.

Thor videos are a warm blanket emulating the vibes of visiting a friend and having them go "hey yo, check out this weird thing my mom bought me"

[@cloudycolacorp]

Reminds me of a friend I had after high school, who'd always have a million recommendations and show you little clips of stuff and it would be the best thing ever

[@MrWatchAndwatch]

Most accurate description you could have given. The weird thing is also always literally the coolest thing you've ever seen in your life

[@luman1109]

In my mind I go back to being in middle school playing local wireless Nintendo DS games on a flashcard with my friend. We'd always show up a bunch of new weird games. And most of them required only 1 person to have the game to play multiplayer.

[@FlameOfUdun96]

There is a 0.000000001% chance that RGG will announce a Binary Domain 2 at their Summit event on the 20th, fingers crossed

[@handsumgerman]

If they do, I hope they call it Binary Domain 10

[@Abszilla51]

Please... please, God... Return my beloved son Big Bo to me...

Oh yes please. More Spin offs.

Or Binary Domain Kiwami, in Dragon engine with more ragdolling

[@nes8462]

Everytime you talk about this PS3-era, I remember the time I worked a second job at Gamestop, while doing my jobtraining. We had this drawer with used PS3 titles that noone was interested in anymore, 'cause of the 8th generation. There was it all: Yakzua Dead Souls, Binary Domain, Vanquish, EDF4, Resonance of Fate, Akiba Strip, Folklore and more. No one ever bought those and my boss allowed me to take them home and play them for a week or so. Loved that time. Thank you, for making me reminisce that.

[@RecMirage]

Haha cool, I actually did a few voices for Earth Defence Force 6. Was tons of fun; good to see it here.

[@bagelbytes69420]

this is it the best comment this video will get

[@alejandrogorgal]

I think this is one of the best videos you've made. Loved the "Life" section, and the pacing of it all felt great. Also, that ending made me laugh out loud IRL, so kudos for that.

[@thorhighheels]

thanks : )

[@Mugthief]

Getting a new THH video the same day as a new Grimbeard video is truly a highlight of my year.

Thanks for the grim beard heads up luuul

[@crissbd8400]

Yeah but a new Thors, a Grimbeard AND a Ragnarox. Whaaaaaat???? Hell yes.

[@RebelTaxi]

13:46 you mention the greatest game of all time, Anarchy Reigns which is an arena fighter not a shooter. Tho it almost feels like an arena shooter in it's battle royal format and perks.

[@beat-man5167]

we need more arena fighters that arent anime games and anime games that arent arena fighters

[@PlaylistGeneral]

I was so pissed that Anarchy Reigns didn't take off. I had SO MUCH fun with the multiplayer

[@jurtheorc8117]

@@beat-man5167 would the upcoming Kings of Hell count as an arena fighter? It's structured like a 3D beat-em-up where bosses are unlockable characters and various of the different rooms seem to have something extra going on in them. Warning though, as cartoony as it looks, it's quite provocative and spicy. Lots of dudes in thongs.

[@WritingOnGames]

Hard to think of KZbin video appealing to me more than Thor talking about MindJack while Mr Follow Follow plays in the background

[@WritingOnGames]

...Soil & "Pimp" Sessions too?!? Real Hell Yeah Moment right there

[@Agent789_0]

Front Mission Evolved still works on PC. I don’t know how well but there’s a discord group from the Front Mission subreddit that’s been organizing online matches for a while.

[@insertopinion5967]

For years I thought that Binary Domain and MindJack were the same game

[@mrsnippysnoopa8300]

god, same. but no, it was just yakuza dead souls 2.

[@user-nw5ef3zh9t]

for me it was binary domain and alpha protocol

[@SebastianM1234]

Thank you so much for existing and creating videos like these. The way you phrase your thoughts and add ideas together in a smooth flow never ceases to amaze me. I also admire the way you are, unashamedly, you - making jokes only a couple of people would understand, playing absolutely random games and paying so much attention to the little things - that it makes me rethink some things about myself and about shame. I used to have a lot of problems with being ashamed of myself - still do, actually, learning how to live with ADHD, with being queer, even with sharing thoughts and hobbies with others. I really like the parts when you talk about your life, your experiences, your current and past struggles in a vulnerable, but honest way, that you just post your discord logs, how you show your daily routines without any censorship or changes - not because of the parasocial relationship, although i did worry about your state after the homelessness scare - but because you show your solutions and thoughts that I can then rethink, rewire a bit and reuse in my own life and struggles. This second perspective to life, although in a different context, different country etc feels so... refreshing and helpful. Thank you, with all my heart, stay safe and healthy, and as you have taught me, don't ever be afraid to do things your way. Hope I will one day be ready to stand up on my own two feet and shout to the world that I am, I exist and I want to share myself in a way similar to yours.

[@izalitholguin2649]

I love your writing style so much, you're a big inspiration just generally ❤️ greetings from butt ass nowhere, Mexico

[@RapsandRiffs]

19:13 “zine vibes” is one of the things I really love about your channel! It’s like opening up a zine and finding several subjects I’m interested in!

[@FPoP1911]

SWEET! finally the 46th fan in the whole binary domain fandom. We can start celebrating.

[@yehuda8589]

ngl, I kind of love you randomly throwing Koudelka onto the DOS games thumbnail you showed, I mean that render of her looks really cool, so I get just wanting to use it somewhere even if it's from a PS1 game and not a DOS game (unless Koudelka had a DOS port I just never knew about before,) but it's still just super funny to me, also I'm hyped to see the 2022-style So I've Been Playings return since while I still really like all your other vids, I just love checking my subscription page to see a barrage of videogame characters, most of whom I've never seen before in my life, just crammed into a thumbnail with the cool side text accompanying them

[@alexanderkopaneff3551]

Binary Domain is an S tier game.

[@trifontrifonov4297]

The reverse Skynet ending is incredible and I love the game as a whole.

[@Sonofholhorse]

I love how you highlight these games most people would just consider throwaways that would otherwise be relegated to the dustbin of generations. A nostalgia pop for those that enjoyed them in their prime, a warm friend to those still playing now and a delightful surprise to those who missed them or passed them by in their time. And I hear that Soil & Pimp, player.

[@nisnast]

Gonna be real with you Thor, I always liked this format/series, and I'm glad to see it back. I'm also glad to see you've found some more stability in your life. I'm ND as well and I struggle at being a regular ass human being so good job 👍

[@axelprino]

The sheer realness of shouting to the pet to get away from the aggressive bug that can, and will, sting it if it gets the chance.

[@raphicoco]

I am pretty sure you are going to enjoy the Dark Sector single player campaign. If not, you will be at the very least intrigued by it. I also strongly recommend you to search on its fascinating development history which is full of twists and turns that come with some subjects that I know interests you.

[@HadesWTF]

EDF6, 7, 8, and 9 have been great.

[@anthonywheeler2082]

Hey, thanks for doing a video on About An Elf. I bought that game when it went on sale because of your So I've Been Playing video on it. It was great. I never would've heard of it without your video. The Nintendo eshop has tons of games on it, but if you don't know what you're looking for, you'll miss a huge amount of stuff on it.

[@ScarfKat]

I just wanna say dude that I love your videos and I think the little life update bits are super cool, as I also stress out a bunch about creative stuff in a similar autistic sorta way lol. It's nice to see how you've found ways to deal with it, and that in turn also helps me figure out how to navigate it as well. You're awesome, genuinely one of the best creators on this site imo. I really appreciate how chill and non-trend-chasing your stuff is.

[@DIOBrando-ij2bp]

I find it so strange that we don’t have more third person shooters that follow the Earth Defense Force formula. Because it’s a great formula. You go good size open zones with destructible environments, tons of enemies to kill, and big giant enemies of different types to show off scale. It’s just a fantastic pure action game formula and yet nobody else really does it. There’s a few things that are like one step away from EDF, but nobody else has really tried it. And I love EDF, but if someone made “EDF” but with better shooting and vehicle controls that’d be pretty great.

[@haythem8417]

Your videos always brings me back the joy of playing old games or just gaming in general

[@CoolPorygon]

I just want you to know that I absolutely love your video editing "style" and almost stream of consciousness style monologuing.

[@Unquestionable]

Excellent look back at some of the forgotten stuff from an era that has been very much forgotten when it comes to modern gaming. That mention of Front Mission Evolved got me a bit excited, I picked up a copy on PS3 last year after remembering your original review. Would love to try and mess with the online mode, would need to screw around with setting but would still a blast to check out.

[@JoseGarnelo]

While I celebrate the comeback of "SO I've been playing", I here want to show support for each and every iteration your muse takes you to, your work is always warm and interesting

[@SSGHondaJon]

There are few things that spark genuine joy in my salty, hardened, cold dead heart. New Thor Content to deepen the High Heels Lore is near the top of that list. Also. Enjoyed Dreamcast cameo near the end. Thanks for being you homie.

[@AETERNA-PASSIO]

hell yeah my favorite guy is posting cool stuff.

[@Maioly]

29:44 ehhhh I'd argue that in edf 5 and 6 you are the main character specially in 6, by the end of its (surprisingly well written and engaging) time travel plot you are ABSOLUTELY the main character-est of all main characters and I am mentioning 5 because those two games are so tied togheter plot wise that I'd almost say they are two parts of a big whole (EDF usually is more FF like in that every entry is a different setting, or the same setting but with no real continuity; 5 and 6 changed that) spoilers but 5 has an almost ace combat sort of deal where you become an elite recognized by the guys in charge 6? 6 you become the shining representation of humanity's sheer willpower, going through a one man/woman (implied to be) centuries long endless time travel war, with the people in charge downright prioritizing you over others and even sending units specifically to help you. and ending with you 1 V 1 -ing an alien god in order to resolve a time paradox that will result in either humanity or their species being erased from existence.

[@amrooo1997]

Thor, I've been watching you for a while now, and my dude, you're the only KZbin channel I have active notifications for. About the thumbnail thing, I like the messy yet future-core thumbnails. I like when they're amiss and polished. I like your voice and content. Keep up the good work

[@EriksBlue]

[@smashedatoms]

Thank you for sharing your story of staying organized. I am neurodivergent and man oh man these support tools changed my life. Feels good to hear it from a content creator who owns and you respect. Thanks man.

[@Phos9]

If I were to venture a guess as to why mind jacking was so common in this era I think it's that this was the first time that enemies were created in a manner more similar to the player, so it suddenly became easy

[@artoub8143]

peace walker is still online too!

[@specknacken6507]

Well...time for another playthrough of Binary Domain. Thanks Thor.

[@Mankey619]

Dark Sector and Binary Domain really takes me back, and one of them takes place in the Warframe universe. Binary Domain on the other hand is one of the unique shooters SEGA has ever made. Where the opening scene shows a guy tore his flesh, and reveals to be a robot.

[@PikaLink91]

Funny, I was sort of missing Thor for a hot moment thinking "When did that dude last upload" only to check the channel and realize I had missed this video because apparently I had not dinged the bell. Thor has a very uncanny way of reviewing that is a sort of comfort food to me.

[@StealthHalberd01]

EDF! EDF! I think Dark Sector is the "brown" ps3 era distilled to its purist features and I am glad you are paying attention to it.

[@andrefyea2709]

havent seen your content for some time now, good to see youre still the god damn black smith of word play

[@dirgeofthedawn]

Dark Sector was dope back in the day. The level of violence and fluidity with the glaive was incredible as a kid. I think the devs are going to connect it in some kind of more direct way to Warframe given the new trailer for Warframe 1999 showcases environments that look a LOT like Lasria, the country where DS takes place.

[@painovoimaton]

Fela Kuti in my THH video? HELL YEAH!

[@Phos9]

Binary domain let you shoot with reasonable accuracy while sprinting with a pistol. I still remember the moment I realized how effective this was.

[@beat-man5167]

You do bring up a good point a surprisingly sizeable amount of game devs during the 7th gen coming up up with body swapping mechanics like that one Toystory 2 meme "I have an idea! We should add in a gameplay mechanic that lets you swap characters on the fly! this is a very unique mechanic that no one has done before!" Driver San Francisco is my fav of the mindjack-likes, and my favorite Ubisoft open world game. RIP The Crew though.

[@demosneokleous4877]

Ex Troopers is my favourite forgotten PS3 gem, and yes, it is a third person shooter and it has an online mode

[@Fazeshyft]

Despite it being saved from obsolescence by Microsoft and offered for free on PC and Xbox, Thor, you needs to check out Phantom Dust. That game is purpose built for your tastes and there is such history behind it.

[@RedstoNeman0]

in case you don't know Dark Sector has a pretty interesting history technically warframe predates it because that's what digital extreme wanted to make, but publishers told them it would never work and they had to make a generic tps of the era out of their insane ideas then they said fuck it and made warframe afterwards even if it meant studio stability in jeopardy (and it was indeed hell to convince stores about what a gaas was at that time) and very funnily, the last batch of expansions for warframe are now bringing back definitely-not-dark-sector in a very goofy but interesting way with bits of story and y2k mixed with the everevolving fuckery that is the main story
