Dunkey your content is so varied and interesting. It's so easy to churn out video after video of schlock, but unlike 90% of this hellsite you put in the effort to come up with original jokes and never settle into a set formula. Really appreciate your channel, it continues to be funny and enjoyable to me after all these years.

[@allenqueen]

always loved the Sound, Music and Voice section in your reviews.

[@Bjhorn279]

A collab I didn’t know I needed until now. I loved Michael Winslow in this, his interrupting sounds had to be one of my favorite bits. Sound effects and music have grown to be one my favorite parts in games as well as music. Shout out to all the artists working on sound design, without them we got nothing.

[@TheVivi13]

Another thing about sound design is that it has to be essentially perfect. If a texture doesn't load properly or if the game skips a few frames, it sucks but it won't bother you that much. But if a sound effect that usually plays doesn't play? If a track just randomly cuts off? If the audio glitches and makes a weird sound? It's the most JARRING experience.

[@equilibrium3959]

Reminds me of how in the Witness, they designed over 100 different walking sounds for the character across the different terrains of the island, so that the sound of walking would never get annoying as the player explores all over the island.

[@goatbone]

That reminds me in LSD Dream Emulator you have the most horroble repetitive stepping sounds for the entire game.

[@xdearlifex]

I feel like "not being annoying" is sort of against the spirit of The Witness, though.

This is edited really well. It's almost like Dunkey and Michael Winslow actually came together to make a video.

[@tinygoof89]

Aw damn, Mr. Winslow! I actually met him pretty recently while working at a hotel he was staying at. Probably one of the nicest guys I've ever met. I got to drive him to the airport for his flight and this dude, not having any cash, pulls out two photos and signs them for me and one of my coworkers. Better than any tip I ever received.

[@tubeuser2222]

For me, personally, the top tier sound design on Super Nintendo was Super Metroid. Start a new file on that game and just listen carefully to what you hear during the first hour or so of play. Dark, brooding, atmospheric, lonely, heroic, it's iconic. It's classic. Mastapiece.

[@nettiwtf]

When I was at audio engineer school, we had a whole course on game audio. We basically had to make this half ass game in the unreal engine and add the sound to the game using a program called F Mod. After the course I quickly realized thats not what i wanted to do career wise but since then, i’ve had the upmost respect for people in game audio. That shit is a grind.

Man, this is funnier on the second watch, now that I'm actually wrapping my head around Michael and Dunkey collaborating on a video. I thought you were just taking soundclips out of context from something he did, watching the first few clips of him. You're such a consistently funny youtuber, ten years now I've laughed at these videos and they never lost that "classic dunkey" feeling.

[@XChaoticDestiny]

Same now or coming close. Classic wholesome, killer comedian everytime.

[@makeke02]

Some dunkey videos are just so easy to rewatch again and again.

[@fullmetalfunk]

1. i can't believe he actually got Michael Winslow on a video. Winslow is an absolute legend this was incredible. 2. sound design is such an underrated part of games because, just like in film, a lot of times when it's done right you don't really notice it, but if it's done badly, you definitely know. good sound design becomes such an immersive part of the experience of a game that it just feels natural and so you don't always pick up on all the little nuances of it and just how incredible it is. sometimes i've not realized just how important sound was in a specific game until i hear an iconic sound out of context from the game and i'm instantly transported back to playing it.

[@KucheKlizma]

I don't know who is underrating sound design, must be a new trend.

[@fullmetalfunk]

@@KucheKlizma i simply mean it's not something everyone who plays games raves about. like Dunkey said in the beginning of the video, gameplay and graphics are what gets attention, and that's understandable because gameplay and graphics are good and fundamental to a fun and immersive game! but like i said, good sound design gets "underrated" in the sense that if it's good you don't even really notice it, a lot of hard work goes into making sure that most people don't even think twice about all the sounds helping to create the experience.

[@JSpyx]

I've been playing the Dishonored games again, and funny enough when this video popped up, I replayed them all without music (music is amazing though, merges really well into the sound effects) but the atmosphere when you're inside the city of Karnaca, just incredible... I just sat there on a roof top while it was evening ingame, listening to the abience of the environment. Very relaxing. I think it's still one of the greatest masterpieces ever made.
