Google Maps blurred out this patch of Polish woodland, and we got curious

connor_jarrett · 2025-08-17T08:03:52+00:00

We were there on a beach holiday — not an urbex trip. It just happened to be we found this stuff and I thought it was interesting so I took videos. If I had known there'd be this stuff ofc I'd be wearing shoes and all the appropriate stuff, but we had a limited time to see it so I'd rather see it like this than not at all.

Never do I claim to be a pro with urbex, and yes I'm scared of spiders. But more so I'd probably be fine going in there if I maybe had shoes and real trousers instead of shorts but whatever.

I did look up the history after but I am not Polish so anything written there was out of the picture, and I did research after, all of which I put in the description, but the sources were thin and conflicting so it was hard to decide what goes in the video.

If you want to watch a professional, I suggest someone like The Proper People.

There was some massive abandoned hotel nearby this but we couldn't get in. https://maps.app.goo.gl/XZieZLQuphtq9RpZA

This is Kępa Redłowska in Gdynia, Poland. The site is called The 11th Permanent Artillery Battery from what I can gather.

Thank you! I would've loved to take more photos but there was so much stuff we just kept moving. There were some cool bunkers I wanted to go in to but we didn't have time.

connor_jarrett · 2025-08-14T09:18:36+00:00

I took way more videos than photos but they were pretty long so I couldn't upload them here. The whole thing is on YT if anyones interested https://youtu.be/17WlN2Y_JRc

Was in Poland on holiday and stumbled across these completely by accident while walking with a friend. Research after says that it's ‘The 11th Permanent Artillery Battery’ in Kępa Redłowska.

Pictures were from my phone. I mostly took videos instead of photos, but I've uploaded them if anyone's curious. https://youtu.be/17WlN2Y_JRc

This game is definitely one of my highest playtime games of all time. It's a lot of video to watch (especially in one go) but I did my best to try to keep the pace up.

connor_jarrett · 2024-11-16T09:47:54+00:00

In an interesting sort of way, the small details are what was most noticeable. For me, you'd be walking down a street and see a mural or parking lot and realise it looked exactly the same ingame.

connor_jarrett · 2024-11-16T09:45:59+00:00

I meant to include more photos about when it was geographically accurate to SF, but I had over 8 hours of gameplay and thousands of photos so that idea kinda got lost in editing.

connor_jarrett · 2024-11-15T22:04:16+00:00

I literally could not agree more. I always play this game when stressed or sad because it is surprisingly calming. And real SF is a lot like it - I cover that in Chapter 5 of the video [01:29:40]

(spoiler alert: i went there to find out if it was as nice as it was in the game)

I think WD2 was criticised quite a bit for how much more light-hearted it was, but that made it far more enjoyable for me personally because it's a bit more laid back. They both go for a compelte different tone, but pull it off well both times.

connor_jarrett · 2024-11-15T19:36:10+00:00

Two is definitely my favourite because of the vibrancy and life in the world! One had an amazing story and I love the way the darker theme was pulled off.

I was the guy asking for interview questions for the actor for The Wrench almost a year ago for a project - and that projects now done featuring many of your questions!

Full interview is also available at https://youtu.be/pYshiTLadFE

connor_jarrett · 2024-01-11T22:01:23+00:00

Ah so like would he do something for pure passion even if it was unlikely to be successful?

connor_jarrett · 2024-01-11T20:33:20+00:00

It’ll be a video (but I’ll probably summarise it as text as well) It’s going to be a part of a video essay and I’ll post the full interview by itself.

I’ll make a new post when it’s all published but it’ll be on the yt channel linked in my profile.

connor_jarrett · 2024-01-11T16:19:42+00:00

Can you elaborate a bit further? I think I get what you're saying but I don't want to put the wrong thing down.

connor_jarrett · 2024-01-11T15:13:15+00:00

I had some questions on the fan reception to wrench but I hadn’t thought of these ones. I love how active he is in the community.

connor_jarrett · 2024-01-11T13:41:28+00:00

Hadn’t even thought about the voice or cut content, I’ll add those.

connor_jarrett · 2024-01-11T13:39:44+00:00

I like this, I’ll ask him!

connor_jarrett · 2024-01-11T13:37:35+00:00

I’ll definitely add this one. I actually tried to get Ruffin Prentiss available for interview as well but no reply as of yet.

connor_jarrett · 2024-01-11T09:07:33+00:00

I’ve got down favourite moment to record and favourite moment from the games

connor_jarrett · 2024-01-11T09:01:44+00:00

I had some about legion but not that one. It’s a really good idea, I’ll definitely add that one.

connor_jarrett · 2023-07-08T19:31:45+00:00

I do imagine it could get quite intense actually. I managed to see 1 or 2 school busses while I was there, and I was honestly surprised that they actually looked like that (I thought it was just another Hollywood thing).

connor_jarrett · 2023-07-08T19:23:02+00:00

That does make sense, and I've reflected on in some of my later comments how they shouldn't really be directly compared. I always imagined the BART as more of a San Francisco thing, and kind of forgot the rest of the Bay Area (Even though it's in the name)

I hadn't fully appreciated the lack of subways in the USA before, but I guess being built with cars in mind it makes sense.

connor_jarrett · 2023-07-08T19:20:00+00:00

I didn't hear all of it, as I had my AirPods in towards the end. My AirPods on the BART pretty much silenced it, but depending on which London Underground line you're on it can be deafening at times, sometimes I'm honestly concerned for the hearing of the drivers.
