Hello everyone. This video was edited by one of my new editors named Ashley, and she's done a couple other things over the last month or so, but I wanted to formally give her credit because I think she does a great job balancing the minimal editing I usually do with just the right amount of sparkly accoutrement. Please say hello.

[@Crenga]

hello ashley! let her know i love her editing; i think it's really charming and fitting for your videos. and, as always: excellent video, excellent song

[@edarjolefeu3575]

Nice job Ashley!

[@ramenboop]

[@dissonanceparadiddle]

Ashley you do fantastic work

[@Cleve_Crudgington]

hello

[@edarjolefeu3575]

What a personal hell he lives in. He's got the aura of a watermelon.

[@Pluelul]

"hes a real fruity guy"

[@CZsWorld]

I'd love to see you do Ripto's Rage and Year of the Dragon too.

[@mtoffo2275]

Definitely! Please do!

[@koffinglolface1000]

YES

[@gnbman]

Same. I would also enjoy his perspective as a guy who's relatively new to those games.

[@dissonanceparadiddle]

I've always wanted a channel like yours to exist and I'm glad it finally does. The cozy little this in games are so much fun to pay attention to

[@jonathanwilson7949]

they're some of my faves :)

[@ezrat4248]

his channel has existed for a long time check out his older videos like eggbusters

[@burnzy4947]

this mf been making videos for a long time. his old videos are great too! u should check em out! very comforting dude

[@k.m603]

His old videos up to his present ones are all bangers… Austin goes wayyy back lol

[@ShaneReynolds0421]

Poor grammar.

[@DGR_Dave]

I've never even played Spyro before and found these interesting and entertaining...also tell Ashley she did a great job editing please 👍

[@any_austin]

appreciate you saying both of these things

[@CRANTIME]

This is my favourite game and I absolutely spent countless hours looking at stuff like yellow assholes and mama's soup but the flags were very new to me! thank you for showing me this, I want them all hanging in my room.

[@abonne3154]

I adore this game and its aesthetics. Did you know that the waterfall in Dream Weaver's homeworld flows upward? Very trippy to look at! There is also a small patch of water in Dark Passage that Spyro can walk on without getting harmed in the US release of the game. This game has all kinds of little gems to be found! Thank you for uploading ;)

[@CraftyMaelyss]

The reason why Gnasty's world doesn't have a flag was because it was actually a junk yard that Gnasty was banished to, which he then turned into his own world, thus the lack of flag.

[@IronianKnight]

Where was that said!? It'd be a cool interpretation even if it wasn't canon but I have no recollection of this idea being communicated anywhere in the games.

[@AetherNightmare]

To make a suggestion, this one is a little more obvious, but since so many people miss it entirely (including the Reignited devs), the sun in Haunted Towers is below your feet. If you stand on the long bridge and look over the edge, you'll see it below you. Gives the world a sense of really being disconnected and "floating", and is also why the color pallet of the sky is inversed (sunset below and stars above, with the underside of buildings and platforms being illuminated). Would have loved if the HD remake had somehow given the level bizzare lighting to accommodate that detail, but alas.

[@PimDiffy]

I love these, everyone talks about the big bombastic moments, but it's nice to see someone stop and appreciate the little moments you get when you just EXIST in a game! Keep em coming! please and thank you

[@chipolux]

Have you ever looked at the stuff in MegaMan Legends (or MegaMan 64)? There are a lot of odd spaces, little corners of the town and island that feel both real and unreal. Highly recommend observing.

[@liz9672]

Agreed! This game is chock full of surreal looking stuff!

[@koffinglolface1000]

ohh, we need a Mega man legends episode

[@Thundero13]

This is wild, I loved looking at the soup when I was a kid as well, I think cuz I always expected it to be like a dark orange or cream colour, something about the hot pink seemed very jarring and intriguing to me. In any case this video is another banger Austin, I'd love more Spyro videos if you wanted to make them :D

[@Consensusmedia]

You should do a skybox for Spyro. From what I remember they are awesome. I used to just look up at the stars on Dark Hollow and listen to the music.

[@xXaltowolfXxmp3]

My only complaint is that I wish the video was longer! xD I could literally spend hours just looking at odd little details in games like Spyro, love this content

[@WilfredCthulu]

Was literally just thinking of when you'd do more :0. Ps1 games definitely hit a vibe kinda like n64 so would be down for more. I did amateurishly do one for Search for Reptar lol.

[@D_Pellagrino]

This song really spoke to me on a fundamental level. A real “play it to myself in the mirror” kind of bop.

[@benamisai-kham5892]

I almost completely beat Spyro enter the dragonfly, I left out beating the game because I loved to explore the world's within the game and spend hours just running, jumping, gliding anywhere I could and enjoying the setting around me, it shaped me into the games I enjoy today

[@ftgwynn]

Came out while I'm at work, but I've been waiting for this! So hyped to watch it tonight. Spyro was my fav series as a kid and now.

[@thomasservon9097]

I saved this video to look forward to on weekend once the work week was ended and it made it even more enjoyable. Love ur content bro

[@RyanHaney55]

The soup reminds me of grapefruit texture. I like this video series.

[@SchlubbyTomHanks]

i always loved the soup texture, it looks like a sunset.

[@JozMkII]

I love how you pronounce Gnasty Gnork. I was cracking up in high-pitched laughter each time you said his name; I can just hear the 'I dont give a shit, I'm saying it it how it looks in writing' attitude in your voice.

[@Beatsticks42]

This video made me very happy. I love your unique style and ideas!

[@TheUnbearded]

Good stuff. I think the parts where you stop and examine the enemies/npcs are the strongest entertainment-wise. The unemployment vid was one my favorites for that reason I think.

[@davidwave4]

This channel is my favorite on KZbin rn. Thank you Austin and Ashley for these videos.

[@katya226100]

I've always noticed their arses in Peacekeepers Homeworld & thought it was very humourous. In the level Cliff Town there is a waterfall (& when i was younger) i'd fly into it thinking the "other" treasure would be found there .... i would just end up dying every damn time. Soup reminds me of pomegranate. Also great job to Ashley the editor👍

[@HolyRoller1026]

Can't believe I hadn't seen your videos before; you have an awesome catalogue I've been crushing through for the past two weeks. Super happy to see the new vid, keep it up!

[@cookiecream1637]

Ayee great video man as usual, always such a treat seeing a new upload

[@n.normal1565]

the satisfaction as you bomped the little green guy 😭

[@AshStretchum]

Nifty idea friend, music's got OkGo vibes, also it would be cool to see some new and interesting things in Ape Escape

[@ch3ckpo1nt31]

Let me just say again how much I appreciate this series. Great job Austin :)

[@gagepalmer6234]

man i really hope you blow up soon you deserve so many more views i love this type of content. it’s like you go outta your way to find the backrooms in video games and i’ve literally always wanted a channel like yours to exist so please don’t stop this shit is great man.

[@IkesDaddelbox]

1:15 Spyro's comedic timing is flawless.

[@ReVampyre]

Hey i liked your video, the deadpan voice you have constantly is genuinely enamouring, the way you talk about spyro while sounding like you want to die makes the whole video very very entertaining. Also i am in love w you

[@emkultra2349]

Got me recollecting many good memories of zoning out on the tv as a kid.Thank you. I should probably do the dishes now

[@ravenfire1313]

Have never clicked on a video so quickly, I love these and Spyro has to be one of my absolute favorite games!

[@ravenfire1313]

The SOUP. I loved looking at the soup and trying to jump into the soup.

[@TjByers369]

Stewart Copeland, Drummer of The Police wrote the soundtracks for the first three Spyro games. He also wrote the music for The Amanda show and Goodburger.

[@JonathanQShrimpling]

This is the best time I've ever had doing things for the first time

[@sweetwheatsy]

Also bruh, Peace Keeper's track is undeniably silly at first, but when the bass comes in? *chefs kiss*

[@Josephwilliemrice]

I love dis. Ty for making this video. Some of the most og content on KZbin rn to me.

[@lizziequinlan9154]

I really enjoyed this video! The new editor did a great job. Your vids are really addicting and I love everything you've made so far.

[@hashmere69]

The flags for each nation were interesting to see, though I most enjoy these videos when you're passionate about something small and completely inconsequential. The soup hit that for me. Love the series so far, it's very cozy. Great work!

[@deathkillerbloodrage33]

the video was nice and then your music was nice and then the bloopers were nice. good video :)

[@RootsThunder]

Probably my favourite KZbin channel since the birth of KZbin, I've been interested in this aspect of games since I was a child playing Tomb Raider (so many areas in those games).

[@slikognito]

This video is very revolutionary, and I it made my eyeballs fly out my head. Ty austin💜

[@148840Texas]

Loving the videos Austin! Keep them rolling!

[@captaintomlas]

Living for more Spyro content from you, I know Spyro very in depth but the flags weren’t something I ever noticed!

[@kownya]

you know me ive been around i am a big fan i mean no harm i only hold good opinions and have exquisite taste and i whole heartedly want your channel to grow and i give you money and thats why i have to say this, austin. Splatoon 2 Octo Expansion.

[@kownya]

come on, be a pushover fr

[@chrisanderson3726]

I found your channel about a month ago and I have completely binged all of your content. When I saw a new video I could wait to watch. I was not disappointed. Keep it up buddy.

[@boswell255]

The guy who made this soundtrack IS really cool, he's the drummer from The Police, Stewart Copeland.

[@Freekchild]

Hi Austin, have you ever thought of doing videos on fighting game backgrounds like Street Fighter, Tekken, or Virtua Fighter? These games always have such interesting backgrounds with all kinds of strange little details, and some gorgeous skyboxes to boot (Rooftop in tekken 4, there’s a surreal atmospheric track called Authentic Sky that is essentially the musical equivalent of a liminal space)

[@ansoncall7357]

I like this. Please make more of it. I am glad this was informative to your aesthetic sensibilities. Hello Ashley.

[@BeeBoi24]

Really enjoying Austins ramblings at the end of the video

[@Georghiou2D]

love that you made a vid about spyro

[@TheDisarminghinkle]

Yo, that end song was a bop!

[@Lyn0039]

This is my favorite channel on KZbin, need more videos! Love them!

[@Pinkuart]

Okay you know what? This is one of the best videos on KZbin. Thank you.

[@edit4310]

1:27 onwards that segment kiiiiilled me

[@teddyshapedsoap]

Oddly enough, as a young child, for some reason I was fascinated with the boiling soup sounds at the inn in Majora's mask. Not sure why.

[@egahhd]

rewatched just now and wtf the song at the end goes way harder than i remembered

[@yderga8707]

Theres something about the low poly faces with their static dumbass expressions that sent me as a kid. Specifically in Spyro 2. The enemies immediately forgetting everything youve done to help them and devolving to murder and torture all while donning these dumbass expressions was hilarious.

[@MidnightSonnet]

I'm old, so yeah, I grew up on the original 3 on PSX. I think my mom still has the discs at her house somewhere. My sister and I played them a lot and, much like you, liked taking notice of the little details. We were always fascinated by the soup. I miss the old graphics, even though the remakes look really good.

[@m_jaded]

Didn't know about the magic crafters and beast makers flags! Loved the video!

[@DuskArgentum]

Great video, Austin! Love Spyro, love this series. I encourage you to make some more Never Looked At videos on the Spyro series some time down the line; there's a lot of little places I would spend time looking at (like the one orb platform in Summer Forest in Spyro 2) and think they could be some good content. I look forward to more videos!

[@LOTLore]

3:53 fire DEPARTMENT 😂

[@Freekchild]

Throwing my vote in for Quest 64. That whole game is pretty unremarkable, but has a LOT of very comfy vibes, interesting textures, and weird, unremarkable places. Hope it was a part of your childhood too, personally, it has a weird comforting place in my heart.

[@mirsemagla3499]

Your music is gd awesome..it was on repeat all day at work..tomorrow 2..eye think eye love it

[@KrymsonScale]

Didn't know about the flags, but to be fair you have to go out of your way to smell the roses to see them.

[@X9Z17]

The soup reminded me of how I loved trying to climb into the pots in the kitchen on Banjo-Kazooie on Rusty Bucket Bay.. now THAT game has some unusual places!

[@insidemotheruniverses9-cha886]

Dude this game was so much fun but I remember deeply examining all the weird secret spots in the hub worlds of Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage

[@chris_htepo]

I love learning new game stuff from Josh Fadem. This channel is great.

[@partygodkevin3003]

Honestly, I've been enjoying this videos! I also enjoyed eggbusters back in the day, and tbh I think you have a cool curiosity about games that I thoroughly enjoy. You're doing great, pal! :)

[@talongodin2253]

The soup at the end reminds me of the witch's potion cauldrons in Majora's Mask.

[@cryingcrane8173]

Love little game corners its like a liminal space or something idk. Great video

[@chmeebs]

Yesss super happy you did Spyro. I have indeed looked at the watermelon aura man and the vibrant soup but I never actually looked at the flags, so that's pretty neat!

[@captaindemozan2700]

I knew about the soup and the mooning, but the flags were a genuinely new thing to me!

[@generalprincecodyhedgewolf2944]

Ive noticed the Gnorcs mooning in Peace Keepers which I found hilarious and torch their Rear ends And mentally laugh.

[@1077mikev]

"There are no roses in spyro the dragon" fast forward to 2:42

[@brando7z]

These games have killerrrr skyboxes, would be great for the skybox appreciation series!

[@yourMoonstone]

love these austin! that lady's soup awakened slumbering parts of my brain

[@--_--_--_--_]

nice. Spyro always give me a comfy feeling, shame i never played much of it because i never had a Playstation

[@SickoStarz]

Please do the other spyro games and a part two on this, it was such a good video I’ve just seen a couple 😭

[@kenspeedbicycle]

I have never looked at any of these and i've played Spyro so much!

[@Girlwithanimpact]

Hey I liked this video. Please make more videos like this. Diddy Kong Racing for the N64 has a lot of interesting places to check out!

[@sweetwheatsy]

I can perfectly recall just how much I tried landing in the big women's soups; figured there had to be a perfect sweetspot

[@ppd3557]

I live Spyo so much! The original trilogy are some of my favorite games on the ps1

[@Eppobot]

Great video as usual, so good job to both Austin and Ashley

[@GingerBun]

i am terrible at video games so i spent a lot of time looking at stuff. i always loved the stew in world of warcraft

[@TheMightyDuke197]

This has been THE game I've been waiting for

[@KingFrogWizard]

i've always liked the soup. never noticed the flags tho, even in reignited. pretty cool stuff

[@jblask2]

I knew these all except for the flags. That's a neat touch. but something that I thought was interesting as a kid was the fiery abyss looking bottom at the Jacques battle.

[@davidelser7134]

I liked this. Make more content like this. (Including the song at the end. What a banger)

[@davidelser7134]

What a throw back! Always loved this game as a kid. So good!

[@stepilable]

Thanks for the video! Never knew about the flags, well done

[@hayleythekid]

Im glad you started with that example 🙏

[@Trevor_NewJerusalem]

The level of which this channel speaks to me of the things I enjoy is a height I never thought I'd find from another human being.

[@xoDemi]

i've never looked at anything in spyro becuz i played it using a series of mirrors, all perfectly lined up to bounce the image off of the next, so as to not make eye contact. i thought everyone did this as a kid. guess i was a goofball lol

[@roninevans6795]

I remember as a kid there was a random PS2 game I would always stop and stare at things in the environments just like you with the Soup. The game was RC Revenge Pro and there was a pirate ship I would always try to explore further than intended, off in the distance from the ship there was a whale that I thought was cute and always tried to get to by following a rock path that only had collision out to a certain distance but of course I didn't understand that as a kid. Other maps had monsters that I always would stop and look at, trying to get a better view of them, there was a scarecrow that would giggle in the middle of a corn maze. I could never win races to be able to unlock new maps so the starting maps are the only ones I ever looked at.

[@mups4016]

Mooning as a form of mockery was very common during the 90s and the early 2000s

[@cooldrinkowater7382]

"Wake up honey, Any Austin posted"
