Whoever edited this LOVES the keyboard click sound effect
Wendigoon's nemesis being some Korean gamer going by the moniker "The Fly" is amazing.
The real Boomer reference was assuming Left 4 Dead wasn't a Boomer reference.
Isaiah having a South Korean online nemesis following him from game to game would be mad funny
writers gotta start putting pronunciation guides in the script
I died every time he pronounced it "broad war"
The Fly: "An esports video? Let's watch it for rhe good old days..."
Surprised more people aren’t complaining about how he said Brood!!!
The pronunciations HAVE to be ragebait
I shouldn't have chugged that lava lamp, now I'm stuck in perpetual ego death with the faint echo of a Wendigoon video playing in the background
I still can't believe Wendigoon was beaten by Jeff Goldblum when he was nine.
"Teh-run, Zerg, Pro-tus" The fact Zerg is the only one he pronounced correctly goes to show how much of a cultural impact the Zerg had on gaming culture more broadly. I wonder how many people under the age of 24 actually realize "swaming" or "zerging" was a term that came from the 90s with SC1. EDIT: h-h-he called it BROAD war. I can't tell if hes doing it on purpose now. I get Kerrigan was like a Lara Croft for RTS nerds but come on, Brood is a normal word
Dude I lived in South Korea from 2006-2009. Imagine my shock when I saw they had a tv channel that was literally just guys playing StarCraft all day. In 2007 this broke my brain.
"Is the FLY HERE?" The most Dad coded statement ever hahaha
6:39 This is the funniest way I've ever heard those pronounced haha
I can relate to that fly story on a visceral level. About a decade ago, my dad learned about the Gjallarhorn from Destiny because some radio show did a segment on all the freak out reactions to getting it to drop. My dad quickly realized that I played that game and knew what a Gjallarhorn was. For the past decade, if he ever sees me playing a video game, he asks, "have you tried using the Gjallarhorn?"
"Before we can talk about the subject, let's talk about the origins of electricity"
The amount of absurd pronunciations HAS to be rage bait lmfao
"The Fly" story killed me 😂
5:49 of course Lucasfilm denies it happened. Because Blizzard asked *Games Workshop* for a license to make a Warhammer 40000 game and it didn't pan out, not Lucas Arts.
