I've said this once, and I'll say it again. You are too underrated! Keep doing this style of content. Just a suggestion, but I think a 10 - 20 minute video about Notch would be great.

How do you not have more subs? Your channel is criminally Underrated! We NEED more channels like yours and less Paul Bros.

[@Cenotaur1]

Played it on PS1 in the 90's. There was no on-screen map. The map of the city came folded up inside the front cover of the game box...it was big! Great game though.

[@bryangin8098]

[@Kommii_]

So no ones talking about the video?

[@emil7837]

3:55 Nowadays its unfortunately not like that anymore. Their greediness has overcome their joy of creating good games. Look at the online mode and at red dead online.

[@ezzyth8824]

Look at the offline modes

[@absentrocket8619]

You went from18k to 20k in like 2 days congrats
