You’re editing and custom animations have always been great but you cooked with this one. This channel deserves way more attention

[@sirrando]

Thanks, I enjoy doing them, and its good to see they are appreciated

[@SirJordzy]

I very much appreciate them too

[@The13thGhostBunny]

I like how that one soldier is just screaming "Alert!" into the freezing night forever. Like he had no idea what else to do, so put his lessons in voice projection to good use. 😂

[@elchirpo3016]

Not only do you do cool challenges you do them on more lowkey games. Absolutely phenomenal channel

[@sirrando]

Why thank you! part of that isnt for any grand strategy or anything, its just when I get towards the end of a video I am thinking "what game do I actually want to play" and I then try and craft a challenge from there

[@elchirpo3016]

@ that’s just another reason the channel is so great. It really makes a difference when a creator is doing something that actually interest them rather then whatever will get them the most views

[@jamiedavies3810]

When I close my eyes at night, I hear a familiar voice. Quiet, at first, almost a whisper. And then... *inhales* AAALLLEEERRRRTT

I've been looking forward to this one for a while. Amazing animation skills, the presentation is improving by a ton in each video.

[@sirrando]

Thanks! Its good to see that people also think I am improving!

[@NGPlusVideos]

I've never played this game but I enjoyed the video none the less. The animation skills are great

[@sirrando]

@@NGPlusVideos eyy. Good to see you! Glad you enjoyed it

[@donoteatmikezila]

As soon as you mentioned the knives and said "we can't use" I was like "...should we tell him?" But then you did the pause note and I knew it was going to come up lol

Honestly you've become one of my favourite channels man! The intro alone is superb. As a fellow English Nobleman to another, Bravo Sir Rando. Love this game. - Lewis NC

[@jossman1986]

went onto the comments just to state how good the intro was, high quality!

[@sirrando]

@@jossman1986 Thanks, I had a blast putting that together, I do enjoy some of those extra little bits and pieces to throw in

Correct he is. o7

you could technically cheese and use the M16 gun in the end of Emerald Military Base before leaving off in the chopper. No ammo count so technically no bullet number droping 😁

[@PredatoryQQmber]

That's some next-level editing and shameless puns. Such an artist!

[@LizziePup]

I loved this game as a kid, glad to hear anyone remembers it even exists.

[@AntellPryyde]

The animations you've done for your videos really set them apart from other challenge runners. Theyre deeply appreciated.

[@sirrando]

That is the one thing that I also think adds something that is unique to me, and how I do things, its good to see that the work that goes in is appreciated

[@Loggins69]

Ever since I was a kid I wished for a XIII sequel, all we got was more and more assassin's Creed, but I'm happy to see that there's people still playing this classic, nice vid got a sub

[@Greatdictator]

Not my usual kind of content, but the choice of game got me to give it a chance the video itself was pretty great but i do have to applaud you for the excellent use of 3d (blender) to help aid the presentation. It was much higher and a lot more then i expected . I assume you ripped the models and everything yourself ?

[@sirrando]

The models had already been ripped (which did save me a job) but I had to manually rip level geometry when that was required. Most of these older games especially on PC has had a lot of their models ripped Glad you enjoyed it!

[@amirsegev9633]

I never thought I'd see a video on KZbin about XIII challenge. That was one of the games that I hated, yet I played it nonstop on the PS2.

[@kirpicast]

See, John Rainbow is even funnier because the founder of the fictional anti-terrorist organization Rainbow is named John. And this being a Ubisoft game, I can't tell which fictional military person they're actually referring.

[@MilkFace3]

The fact this video only has 20k views is absurd. Amazing video. Can’t wait til you make it big. You’ve earned this subscription for the sheer amount of effort and dedication you’ve put into this

[@sirrando]

Im glad you think so. glad your enjoying my little corner of the internet

[@RoryButler]

What a run! Always loved this game, getting as far as you did with limited bullets is wild! Good to see how much the channel is growing too, keep it up!!

[@sirrando]

Great to see you back! The channel has been doing well, its super hype!

[@RoryButler]

@sirrando definitely is!!

[@jayypee6491]

Only halfway through but I love this video. XIII was one of my favorite games when I was younger and this is just such a fantastic loveletter to it.

[@sirrando]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. And i think that a loveletter to the game is how I like to think of my videos as they are all games I really like

[@DatDavdus]

Amazing video! Thank you for enduring a challenge run of a game very dear to me, and sharing it with the world in such a high quality format. I salute you for your effort!

[@sirrando]

Thank you for being such a great help in regards to helping me with the apeedrun tech!

[@enfisu586]

I massively appreciate keeping it legit. Far better than a false victory.

[@sirrando]

There is no point in lying, the streams are right there, besides telling the story how it happeneed is half the fun, successful or not. I pick some strange off the wall challenges, so I cant expect them all to be successful

[@lilacrain3283]

27:34 Loving all the little animation touches like this in this video!

[@Be3med]

I love how the new retro indie game style that games picked up recently influenced me so much that i thought this was like a new indie game, never in my life would i have expected this to have come out in 2003

[@sirrando]

And by ubisoft! Crazy what some companies we see as super stale and safe were like back when they could take risks

[@TheHeavyshadow]

I know it sounds weird, but I'm actually happy to see a challenge run that for once doesn't work out in the end. It takes some of the suspense out of watching when every "Can you beat X with(out) Y" video is really just "Here's how you can beat X with(out) Y". And no matter the outcome: The well done animated gags between gameplay and the top-notch wordplay were entertaining either way.

[@sirrando]

Ha. Thank you! Glad you liked it. I try to pick some off the wall stuff and I never know if it will work untill I'm actually doing it. But it's more about the journey and whatnot anyway.

[@pierrelindgren5727]

Twenty years later and that "Alert!" still sits in the marrow.

It's not even the first time SCAT was used for fictional team, Night Trap had Special (Sega) Control Attack Team.

@@leress I never knew that! That is wild.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. It's been quite a while since you were in the streams. Hopefully I will be able to increase my output in the new year

[@fubarmalarky3061]

[@DinnyForst]

This amount of dedication and effort you put into editing is very impressive. It's such an unique challenge which surprised me in the way devs coded the game. Stay Alert!

[@undeadmaster666]

this was a lot of fun to watch both live as you was doling it and in video format. i still think there could be a way past the heli boss but i really cant figure it out and i been trying now for a few weeks. keep up the good work and thank you for the video

We will figure it out at some point, I am sure, I wouldnt mind revisiting o7

@@sirrando well atleast i found a unknown bug with the ship and grenades on that level. a small bonus but not helpful in any way.

Hey so like, I'm halfway trough the video (specifiaclly the first instance of Rocket Bonk) and I have a question..... Don't the knives have a stab melee? Could that have saved you some headache? Edit: Yeah no you use the stabby stabby in the video my apolocheese.

[@sirrando]

Yep. But there aren't any knives in that level

[@imranicanovic1154]

@sirrando Ahh. Not sure why I thought there were then. But then again it has been a long time since I last played, might have to give it another go soon. Good video tho, the suffering aside.

@imranicanovic1154 yeah. I couldn't find any in the previous level to bring through either. So. Rocket bonks it is!

0:30 my dumb ass thought the solution was that if you shot yourself the run would end with only one bullet 😭

[@kazukimarunakaryu9403]

Would strafing around the enemies while hitting them not avoid ANY damage to give better survivability than standing point blank stationary?

[@sirrando]

@@kazukimarunakaryu9403 not really. You can "lead" then to miss a little more. But it's so difficult to do that whilst also being close enough to punch them it usually works out better to just. Stand and bang. I did try that tactics on some of the bosses. But I actually found it most useful when trying to run towards someone shooting you. Zig zag and jump about to make them miss a little more

[@kazukimarunakaryu9403]

@sirrando I see, so the leading shots are just easier to fake if you're random. lol
