A Squandered Potential
United States
Приєднався 8 вер 2007
Welcome, my fellow chuds and chuddetts! Do you like Death metal and plain old degeneracy? Look no further! I have no primary objective but to hopefully share with you a modicum of joy. Having said that I enforce strict rules:
Listen to my progressive death metal solo album "A Squandered Potential" on spotify, apple music, bandcamp, and funny enough, UA-cam!
I also have a soundcloud that is relatively inactive, but screw it, hear is a link.

"For You I'll Wait" - A Tribute To My Dog, Kiko
Hey guys, not my normal video today. I wanted to make a tribute to my best friend, that unfortunately fell ill and passed recently. The grief has been hard, so naturally I need to express it through song. The lyrics are applicable to anyone that has been through grief/ lost someone dear to them. Enjoy

"The Soul Protectors" - A Squandered Potential (Lyric Video)
Переглядів 186Рік тому
A Squandered Potential is Eric Harper. "The Soul Protectors" is a song about an extra-terrestrial organization that has determined that life on Earth is worth preserving, but the human race is far too irresponsible to be trusted, therefore they must be detained. Music and Lyrics written by Eric Harper Production and Bass guitar by Sean Hart (RareSkull Studios)
Ranking Every Level In Spyro 2 "Ripto's Rage"
Переглядів 11 тис.Рік тому
Come with me and reminisce about our most nostalgic video game, Spyro 2. WOW! This is the most ambitious video I've every put together! I had so much fun creating this! I can't wait to do more, even better videos in the future. I should mention that the script and recording of said script are over a year old at this point, so some of my opinions have changed. Thank you so much for watching! Lea...

Hurricos, Fracture Hills and Robotica Farms are my top 3. Metropolis is goated too.
I waited a long time for you to do this. Nice.
Glad you're satisfied homie!
And now its added to my work playlist 😎
@@ContentCreature hell yeah man! The audio is on Spotify if that makes it easier for you
@ Schweet!
Scratch that, for some reason it hasn't posted. I think it's because I listed it as a cover song. 🤷 It will be eventually lol
this is actually insane! LIKE WHAT!!!!
😊
THE WORKS OF YESTERDAY 🔥 🔥 🔥
This is a bop. Solid mix too! you guys killed it
Thanks dude, super appreciated
This came out so good! We gotta do DBZ Super - Limit Break next or I’m gonna lose it
Ladies and djentlement, the background vocalist
FIRE
Yooo thanks dvstin!
This goes unnecessarily hard
It's the real Jimmy Buffett?
YASSSSSS THIS IS ICONIC!!!!!
Chaos, no control
Hahaha
I give this a MARIAAAA/10
I messed up "It doesn't matter." I didn't catch that after watching the text like 800 times. You get what I mean, guys.
1. Snowy Mountain I think the game is at it's best when it's non linear and you can pick your own route to collect everything, Snowy Mountain does this perfectly. This level is constant exploration, fantastic aesthetics, unique enemies, great platforming challenges, and the best Flutt Flutt sequence. 2. Precursor Basin I love the challenges and how much skill they take. This map is just fun to zoom around. The music is great. 3. Misty Island This level's map is so fun to explore. Climbing the dynamite ramp is one of the highlights of the game. The zoomer section is great too. 4. Forbidden Jungle Another fantastic open map. Getting in the temple and killing that plant is so fun. The fishing game brings it down a bit. 5. Lost Precursor City Perfect aesthetics. Good platforming. It's a little linear and I don't really care for the rotating blue platforming sections. 6. Mountain Pass I think this level does a better job with the time limit than the fire paths. It also has the Klaww boss fight which is awesome. 7. Gol and Maya's Citadel Short and sweet. Fun platforming and a decent final boss 8. Sentinel Beach Great layout. Climbing the cannon tower and chasing the birds are all time classics. Pleasant level. 9. Spider Cave Climbing the robot is fun but the rest of this level is meh. Shooting the termites sucks. 10. Lava Tube Fun and challenging. 11. Fire Canyon Short and sweet. 12. Boggy Swamp There isn't a bad level in this game but this is the worst. The only truly linear platforming level is Boggy Swamp. Boggy also gets demerits for the worst aesthetics in the game, too many uninteresting yellow eco combat sections, and the rat killing mission.
I appreciate you taking the time to write all of that. You're a real one for putting in the effort
People actually likes Zephyr? It looks good in Reignited but in the OG it was bland and samey, definitely my least favourite level in the game. Right now I dislike the Magma Cone the most, such an annoying level.
Fucking epic. This needs more exposure.
You posting video game videos to this channel is potentially hurting your analytics and not placing you in peoples algorithm - dont squander your potential lol
Yeah I know, I'm not really a full-time UA-camr. I have to figure out what I'm gonna do with this channel and a potential second channel. Thank you though, super appreciate the kind words. My album is coming out in early 2025. You can follow me on Instagram, Facebook and Bandcamp if you want 😊
I highly recommend starting a dedicated channel to this project before you release new music - it will literally squander your potential if you share it here. This is good shit dude and has the potential to pop off if you share it right. Best of luck.
@@localsymbiosis loud and clear brother. Thank you 🤘
the walsh fans in the comments should take a shower.
You should take a shower with piping hot water.
@@comrade_striver such little simps 😂. I think a fan of Matt Walsh is a cancer cell amongst humanity
Is this mission even possible on hero mode?😂
@@The3ible I have done it a few times but it's very difficult lol
Spyro 1 is my personal favorite and the best imo, but you really can’t go wrong with picking any of the original 3 as your favorite
for 4:40 the puzzle is meant to be that each shape that gets pressed has one thing in common with another shape -either the colour, the inner shape, or the outer shape. Yes, many people don't realise this because trial and error isn't too painful, but that's the intended solution.
I can't agree with you in every ranking position except for snowy mountain, , but great video 👍
@@truta_14 thanks dude
It's truly insane how good he was, watching someone play it, is truly showing of how fucking difficult this song really is.
you hella underated bro
@@flamefire777 awe 😊 thank you. The problem is I don't have many videos lol
19:30 He was saying Giant ARM. In the section you fight the swarm of lurkers you can see the arm being pulled up.
I guess that makes sense lol
Okay, but Glimmer's music gives me so much nostalgia that I can't even describe it! I remember playing the original games with my aunt and every time I hear this sound track, I'm reminded those days :D
To this day I haven't heard a game OST quite like Spyro's. It's so distinct. Anyway Hurricos is #1 for me. So evocative and unique. The NPC's, the gray clouds with sunshine, rainbow, the great music.
spyro inspired death metal band lets goooo
"It even might be the definitive way to experience these games" Dude, the ps1 versions lag much less and even look better in some cases.
Speaking of th flut flut, barring some sections, i think most of Snowy mountain was supposed to be for the flut flut, but was scrapped when a lot of the set pieces involved ice and precise platforming, which is harder with the flut flut.
4:45 its not random at all, you need to match the buttons ensuring that the next button you step on either has the same color, outside shape or inside shape as the previous one.
@@floatinghamstick oh I'm stupid 😀
Excelente
Thank you 😊
Love seeing Breeze Harbor and Robotica finish top 5 😁 And yeah, I don't think there's really any place for Scorch or Shady Oasis but the bottom two slots unfortunately...
watching all of this gameplay was so weird to me. spyro 2 riptos rage was my favorite game as a child, but I cant get myself to play reignited because of the lack of a fixed camera. I've never seen so much reignited gameplay and the characters are so different
Giant arm
As a speedrunner of the entire srt zephyr is cancer to run
He says giant arm, you can enable subtitles in the game
God DAMN! 🤯🤘
For sure, those purple dudes and the siren sound during the Lightning Stone orb definitely gave me nightmares as a kid 😅😂
There actually is a System involved with the 3rd idol springs riddle. you have to look at the symbols and the corresponding shape of the buttons
I didn't realize this for a long time either lol
love me some xoth! great cover!
I'd probably have Hurricos in my top 3.( if not number 1 ) Everything was just so perfect about that level. The dark cloudy skies, with the rain, the sun & the subtle rainbow in the distance. Not to mention the incredibly soothing soundtrack to go with it.
Easy top 5 for sure - very underrated
Hurricos is my favorite, too!
Daxter is called an Ottsel because his design is a mix of an otter and a weasel.
Yeah I know, that was a dumb comment I wish I didn't leave it in the video haha
The precursor city gave me the same feeling that going to mothership did in fallout 3
I really cant believe the zoomer level is one of your favorite
They're all my favorite tbh lol
Game is a legendary part of my childhood, took awhile to beat as a ten year old. Just like Kingdom Hearts 1, took me like three years to beat that game as a less abled kid
I think I struggled the most with the fishing mission. That shit was a headache as a kid. Also those dark echo plants that kept regrowing.
In German ist Giant arm
Man, you are so genuin. Thanks for this video. You deserve way more like and you seem like such a nice guy. I would love to hang out
Awe thank you! I wish I had time to make more videos like this but life is hard haha
Oh you should look up OpenGoal. Its a fanmade pc port of Jak I and Jak II.
After watching this whole thing for the first time since I posted it, and as a musician, I didn't spend nearly enough time on the music considering how much I love this games ost. Oh well. My SA2 music ranking video is gonna be hype
Such a nice energy, and you are hallarious! Really enjoyed it! I would love to see one from 1 and 3 as well! This would by mine 1 Mystic Marsh 2 Zephyr 3 Breeze Harbor 4 Metropolis 5 Skellos Badlands 6 Hurricos 7 Aquaria Towers 8 Cloud Temples 9 Colossus 10 Scorch 11 Crystal Glaicher 12 Idol Spring 13 Robottica Farm 14 Glimmer 15 Sunny Beach 16 Shady Oasis 17 Magna Cone 18 Fracture Hills
Thanks so much❤
