    Whoa. Love that outfit on the girl.

    But this was definitely well made and very funny. ;)

    You really should re-record when you stutter...

    While I do agree that Total War is a great series and that the newest installment will probably be great too, I'm not entirely sure about your general presentation. Yes, you're pretty good at acting and you have the greenscreen stuff down, but the scenes you made are long, predictable and not really funny at all.

    A for effort I guess...

    *gets spared from the slaughter*
    ... so anyways, I'm an on-off fan of RTS. Didn't really like the first Starcraft, but loved Dawn of War series, and now I can't wait for Halo Wars and Starcraft II. This game looks pretty interesting, so thanks for pointing it out.

    P.S. I've been playing the Halo Wars demo religiously since it came out. Is something wrong with me?

    Im so looking foreward to this game coming out. I think it's tommorow, right? I cant wait to dominate in this. I cant decide whether I'll play as the Russians or the Ottomans first, but either way, I know its going to kick some serious ass.

    Crushing the colonials does sound somewhat lucrative too, perhaps Ill play as my British forefathers?

    Well Joe - I just sat through your movie. If you remember I have thrown some really hard critiques at you some time ago, and now, I think you deserve something longer and more detailed. And since you made a film about my most loved strategy seriues of all time, well - you deserve to have a little review over here.

    Overall - this is your best film up to date, It has a lot of effort put into it, it is "stylish" (in a sense that it has its own, unique climate), and the costumes - brilliant. I was a little dissapointed about the stock futage from the patriot - your stuff proved much better for it, and much more funny. But ok - it's licentia poetica. Also - the beginning was a little slow, and I really expected somekind of plot. but that's my opinion.

    About the "Reason 5" - altering history? Man - you americans don't know shit about altering history. ALERT!!-If you are not interested in polish history than skip this and go to the ending. If you are interested - enjoy-ALERT OVER.

    So - in the year 1795 Poland dissapiered from the maps of the world for over 120 years. It was becouse of the poor state of our democracy (yes - the US and Poland were one of the first countries to have this form of governing), and many over issues. Russia, Germany and Austria took claim over our lands and over our souls. It was the darkest time of our history (yes - even worse than communism). So I am very much looking forward to altering the history of my country, kicking some russian ass, and gaining the power that Poland deserves. Now THAT'S ALTERING HISTORY!!!

    To recapitulate - the movie is good, I gained respect for you being such a passionate strategist, and I have to say - keep up the great work!

    Arkady - signing out!

    120 years?By Russia,Austria and Germany?My polish friend,you don't know what dissapearing from the map is.My country-Bulgaria disspeared for almost 500 years,and was ruled by barbarians.And guess when!Our country dissapeared in 1396 and reappeared in 1878.We missed MOST OF THE IMPORTANT YEARS IN HISTORY!I mean we didn't know what gunpowder is,what massive copies of books are,what colonies are,what chocolate is,we forgot what it is to have a ruler,to live among people from your country and we were conquered by Turkey!The were some of the most infirior people about two hunred years later.On 3rd March we were finally free and had 2 times bigger territories than we have now.BUT a month later the English and French didn't want Turkey to loose all that important,profitable land and demanded,that half of the territories were given back to Turkey,and the other half was to pay a tribute to Turkey.Why?Because Turkey owned England and France BIIIIG money.
    And THAT is something that deserves rewriting history.I found a bulgarian mode to E:TW and I think I will install it and kick some ottoman ass!

    I just want to say Dan is the Man! I see this guy everywhere, thanks for watching.

    Dectilon[/b] - I think your right, after watching it again, I didnt think it was a big deal as I wanted to be as natural as possible, but your right. As for the scenes being long and predictable and unfunny - that's alright with me. As long as its entertaining. Im not trying to make you fall out of your seat laughing every second of the video - Sometimes if your passionate enough about the game you just want to chat about it. That's what I think this video does, only we do it in costume.

    [b]Sig[/b] - Ive got a Starcraft 2 video soon. And Ive been thinking of taking on Halo Wars as well

    [b]LetsGet[/b] - Im going with the British so I can switch to the American side Asap, then I'll give the French a go.

    [b]Nico[/b] - :) Total War 4ever!

    [b]Arkady[/b] - I love the TW series, seems like we like alot of the same things. I think I work against peoples expectations - I dont use the same format as alot of others, so I have to like prove my video is worth it, rather than getting the benefit of the doubt. we cant all be as funny as Doug, but I like talking about games, cept I dont want to bore the crap outta you when I do it. So the format is greenscreen, some parody sketches and a few explosions for good measure. But if its not your thing, we got something more "toned-down" coming - where im "Just Joe" instead of "Angry Joe". ;)

    Sucks that it's gonna be only one race per year for Starcraft II, huh?
  • cookiemonster  - Awesome to the max

    Probably one of your best videos in terms of sketches, what with the costumes, whores, effects, and did I mention the whores? However I found the stereotypical English acting so offensive, that my tophat and monocle fell off in sheer astonishment.

    Thanks for mentioning my name at the end (Mark B ), you've really made the most of those donations. Plus I love The Patriot. You do realize we only lost that war because our guys had sand in their eyes though, right?

    Believe it or not i actually looked up insults they used at the time. Of course when your being hit in the face with a glove its hard to remember all of them so we just started ad-libbing!

    I just got executed :[ But this game looks really cool :side:
  • Scarred4life
    You've really put effort into making this video into the masterpiece it is. The battle really made me laugh :side:. I also like the Princess Bride reference since it is one of my favorite movies. I've always liked your videos, you have something that makes them... comfy :D if thats the right word. Also I must say that i appreciate your musical taste, Kreator is the shit ;)
