It's very hard to choose a favourite among your videos man but I I can confidently say this is your best work! Everything I've come to expect from Chimmaney bangers has culminated into this banger of a production. I have a stitch from laughin and gigglin (stop that) "The Waiter" gotta be my favourite character, everytime he showed up on screen it was a delight What a way to end the year, Merry Christmas as well!
@@Chimmaney Variable Carrot is one of the bestest characters in all of comic history. Truly one of the most tragic Greek figures of the 21st century, don't you agree? On a more serious note, have you ever thought about doing a sequel to No Robots? That's one of my favorite videos of yours. Also, have you ever thought of doing this type of parody on non-videogame material more frequently? I can imagine what kind of wonderous beauty would come out of you parodying something like, A Hard Day's Night for example. In any case, love your channel mate, it never fails to cheer me up when I'm down, or even when I'm not down. Cheers
@@adrolion Thanks! And I may do a No Robots sequel, it is on my list of stuff to look into. It might be a nice and easy video for the first few months of 2024, actually. I need one of those. As for doin this stuff with non-video game things, it's possible, but it won't be for a long while if I do end up doing it. A lot of my videos aren't really "abridged" videos so much as they're "I wrote a script and voice acted it and now I'm using a game to cover the visual aspects of it" videos. You can't really call something like Unprincipled Assassin a "Thief (2014) Abridged" video, because it has nothing to do with the ACTUAL game, and if you took the exact same script but gave it different visuals, nobody would ever be able to link it to that game. Same goes for a lot of my videos. Buckwheat Grayson, The Invention of Possession, they're all secretly just original comedy scripts disguised as gaming videos. Even something like this video, you would of course know it was a Batman comedy script, but the only way you could link it to Arkham Origins is with "Bane shoots a rocket that launches the main villain off the roof". Of course the visuals that a game provides do have a big influence on the script, because I try to make them fit together nicely, but the key difference with a video game is that the script can ALSO have an influence on what I get for the visuals. A character can lean against a tree for two seconds, waiting for you to do the lockpicking tutorial, and I can spend ten minutes standing in front of them getting different camera angles to turn that tiny nothing-moment into an actual scene. Video games being interactive lets me very easily "manufacture" the visuals I need for a video over the course of several hours of footage. Trying to do the same thing with something like a movie would have to lead to a more traditional Abridged-type video, because I'd only have 2ish hours of footage with little ways of creating new things, and no control over things like camera angles/costumes/scene placements and so on. Cutting an entire character or subplot out of the story would be difficult to do without losing a lot of the usable footage, and extending an irrelevant moment or character to span several minutes would be tough too. All of that would make me much more beholden to the original plot points and scenes of the movie, and at that point I'm writing more of a parody/abridged thing instead of just filling in visuals for something new that I wrote. It is definitely something I think could be fun to do, but it's also a DIFFERENT thing than what I'm currently doing. All of that said, I have thought for a while that I might do it as a one-off. I think I'd probably want to be a part of a group for making that kind of video though, so that I wouldn't be the only writer/voice actor and so that attempting to massively edit/manipulate the footage would be more plausible. Cutting a character out of the background of a 2D-animated scene would actually be plausible with a team -- if you look at a channel like "Something Witty Entertainment", they're able to pull of some really great stuff. I like them a lot. But even them, with a team of writers/editors/voice actors, take MONTHS to produce one of their videos. Trying to tackle that solo would be crazy, unless I planned on dropping a lot of the quality/polish that their videos have. The benefit of doing it as a one-off is that at least the writing process would be a bit quicker, because you wouldn't have to factor in future episodes' provided visuals into your plan. The closest I've done to that more prescriptive structure of writing/scene order is Pokemon Black Permadeath (which I do love), but even that is supplemented by little animations I make. If I was trying to do the same thing but using someone else's animations, like from a Pokemon Black TV show for example, it'd take me even longer to make a good script, because I'd have to make it fit the actions of the original scene as well as the location/timing of the scene. Right now I can turn one "Hello!" in that game into a conversation, but trying to do that with only the original "Hello!" animation would be awful. It would be fun to try out for something different, and I do like doing different stuff, but I don't think it would ever become THE thing I do. Just a thing I did. Like making a Spider-Man video essay, or the Darkest Dungeon series. So yeh. I might do it eventually, but probably only with a team, and probably not within the next two years. Right now Chimmaney's got NO connections. Sorry for the long-ass answer, I just like talkin about this stuff, and YOU asked, this is YOUR fault.
@@Chimmaney Yea, Videogames really do allow more freedom in that sense, so I can see why a movie'd be harder. Take your time and only do what you want to mate, I only want to see you working on what you like, beause those are your best videos :) No need to apologize for long answers, I love them. Cheers

Great video hopefully you make more videos about this.
