"I first played Jedi Outcast when I was, like, fourteen. A bootlegged copy on a burned CD with the CD key scribbled on the top" And there we go, a tsunami of nostalgia. My early to mid teens summed up in a single sentence.

"I am a fool and a stoner. I need to be able to make errors." As good a metric as any for determining whether a game is too hard for you.
@thejohnkaufman
"Holy shit Mara Jade got to star in her own game?!" was basically what flew into my mind as soon as you said the name. Well done.
@vshepard9344
Kyle Katarn saying he was done with all the lightsaber shit and settling down as a farmer? Now that's a great ending to a Star Wars story.

George Lucas about Dark Forces: "oh my, it's too violent..." George Lucas about The Force Unleashed: "what an amazing game!"

“I’m a fool and a stoner, I need to be able to make errors” god tier analysis
@TheBordener
It's refreshing that so many of your reviews are mostly so positive. How you recognize the limits and failures of older game design but praise it in its context and how it has its own unique advantage over more elegant and modern ideas. It makes your retrospectives so much fun to watch

We are literally ONE STEP away from a Knights of the Old Republic analysis

"Pain is no excuse to hide from who you are and what you can be to other people" That's really resonated with me personally. It's just what I needed to hear right now. Thank you.

I know the live action segments in these games are notoriously cheesy, but I just gotta say the facial acting from Kyle Katarn at 35:25 is genuinely impressive. He manages to portray rage, surprise, fear, regret and sadness with a single expression.

I have a migraine; I am at work alone today, from open to close; my feet are already dead, but the fact that I have a video from Noah covering my pet favorite shooter of all time? That's going to carry me through the next eight hours. Thank you for giving me something so special to look forward to enjoying with whiskey and chocolate once I get off work.
@matthewstarkie4254
All that in-depth look and you didn't even mention Kyle Katarn's ultimate moment... when he kicks your arse in the Dark side ending of Jedi Academy. Seriously, that battle is brutal and Kyle uses every power he had in outcast against you. You don't even win, you just escape, with Kyle promising to Luke that he's going to track you down and bring you back to the light. Great video though, I wasn't expecting to watch a two hour retrospective, but you kept me hooked.

"Honey, I'm alone, come over" "I cant, Noah is talking about Video Games."
@DoomMunky2
Noah, I've been a fan for years and want to say your analysis has gotten SO GOOD. The fact that you're able to comment on mechanics and story and context of release all at once, how they all feed into each other, just...all of it. It's so good. You're really good at this.

If you ever release merch, I humbly request a "Oops! All Inscrutable Bullshit" t-shirt.

"Im a fool and a stoner, I need to be allowed to make errors" pure gold

KYLE KATARN'S BEARD!
@MadamInsanity88
13:40 I feel like a lot of the "puzzles" obviously wouldn't be puzzles at all for the Empire. Multiple personnel being able to operate this stuff as well as the fact it's their own equipment, but the fact we're an outsider, not just as the character but as the player, it's harder to figure this stuff out. But the more you play the more familiar you become with the mechanics as if you are learning with the protagonist how to figure things out.
