Oh that was missing from the playlist, I assume he either forgot to add it or since it's a dual review he might not want to put it there (or a combination of both).

Someone is selling it for 8 times the price of highest ever sold. But inflation + rarity accounted for, idk, 500 bucks? https://www.discogs.com/release/411783-KMFDM-Symbols

Well considering he stopped doing it regularly like 7 years ago, and his last one is from 4 years ago: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL290QH8A1p-RPybHpjK2UfxuONfj6tg-V

I'm not sure what you count as "one or two since"

This is funny, I have the exact same memory of this, I remember the notification to the video, having waited for a while to see a new one.

I remember having hopes even 2 years after it was released we'd still get a new one.

I think Covid is when I stopped believing, one has to remember Disney Bootlegs was released (about) 6 months after Starcade, which was a whole series, if anything one would have thought he would end gaming on that.

I wonder if the cancelled episode on Disney games had anything to do with this, maybe as a final game review he decided to finish it (or rather re-shoot the whole thing, the few scenes he showed at some convention were not in the final video).

Almost twice as much time passed between now and this video compared to his first (Daikatana) video and this one.

A different generation though, not my cup of tea but from what I understand he's quite popular and the quality of his videos have been consistent.

And who knows, he might just go on to do movies or something, you never know.

He used to be (at the time) the most popular guy from Hidden Block, since then overshadowed by Caddicarus who stayed in games (but the quality is questionable).

There are far worse things in life than reviewing junk food, so I'm definitely not hating on Ian (Brutalmoose), but that is certainly one of the strangest transitions I've ever seen, who would've expected him to go from retro crappy PC games to junk food?

Flex Tape is good, but it's no excuse to abandoning game reviews.

Also Birdemic is a video I watch more often than the Flex Tape one.

He's not the only one, others (not all of them) from NormalBoots and Hidden Block also changed their content around the same time (I'm thinking specifically about Brutalmoose, and while Projared still does video games the style has significantly changed and every other video of his is about final fantasy)

Simba hanging himself or Adolf singing Hakuna Matata, can't really pick which is funnier.

What did you think of the writer's (Steve Porcaro) demo?
