On the second tombstone I believe the last line is "3D Artist," and was blurred a bit more as it wasn't lore friendly, making the Brandon on the tombstone the Artist Brandon, not the Programmer!
Hey, OG Human Monk of Quellious here...from actual circa 1999, Fennin Ro server. I was also a member of the legendary monk-only guild, Coalition of Fists during my toddler years (pre level 20). Just to represent a little bit, I soloed ALL of the pre-Kunark, monk specific quests. The sashes, the headbands, the Treant fists...even the Robe of the Lost Circle. No trackers, no help outside of Allakhazam's site tips. It was a will-shattering investment of time and effort. Most of it was accomplished through a months long layoff during the DOTCOM crash of 2000, and the Everquest Monk experience gave me something to focus on, outside of my unemployment depression. Real life benefits? I can honestly say that a good portion of the patience I developed doing these quests has made me a better, and more patient husband and father today. It also did a surprisingly good job at preparing me for the COVID19 lock downs. Thank you, Everquest! RIP Brad McQuaid
OMG just got my new laptop to download EQ AND a new upload from you? This day is too good to be true...Cant wait to relive my childhood of countless hours spent looking for my body....Only to not remember if I was going west or east 🙃
@@Jesterian Michael's shenanigans does not know the TRUE POWER of the DARKFORGE ARMOR. It allows the wearer to reach so much power that they can challenge the gods themselves! If you cannot use it, there's your first mistake. Make an OGRE SHADOWKNIGHT. IT IS THE ONLY WAY TO REACH TRUE POWER! Totemic armor is NOTHING compared to the POWER of DARKFORGE ARMOR! You must have the FULL SET, or you will not reach the power of the ULTIMATE TUFF OGRE SHADOWKNIGHT MASTER!
Wow... Blown away by the tragic irony of this video (awesome video by the way, love it) that I watched yesterday. So at 7:55 - 9:15 you discuss two graves and who they belong to. Well the first grave in graveyard - The guy Hutch - I just found out died today. Insane... Here is link massivelyop.com/2020/05/05/everquest-and-vanguard-developer-mike-hutchins-passes-away/ . Tragic for sure... But damn the sad irony...
I have been playing Everquest on and off for twenty years and I am still learning new lore! Your channel is one of the most amusing things on the internet.
I just wanted to say thank you for making these videos. It's been 20 years, and I still have dreams about my old High Elf Enchanter, running around EC and FV. Life is rough sometimes, and I really appreciate you making this content. Please don't ever stop being you.
Your EQ lore videos are some of my favorite videos on UA-cam. I played EQ for awhile in 2003, and tried recently to play on P99 but I guess I just can't get into it the same these days. I still think it has the best lore of any game ever and I enjoy every time you make a video on it. I could watch EQ lore videos for days (but it seems there's not a large amount on UA-cam.) At any rate, thanks for the great videos.
this is kinda silly, but i love watching your videos despite never having played everquest myself. you perfectly capture the quirkiness of traditions specific to the community and easter eggs/lore that make mmos so unique as a medium (ex. yall have some sort of market cave?? that's so cool!) not to mention your editing and humor are super fun to watch. thank you for making such great content! :)
A monk showed me that hidden area in High Keep around 2017. I had spent a lot of time in there and had absolutely no idea it existed! Almost a little sad to see the secret is out (simply because it's the only I knew of) but very cool to finally see it acknowledged finally!! Glad to see a new video out! Keep up the amazing work!
I miss this game so much! I played from 99 to 04. I’ve tried a few times to get back in, however, so much has changed; I get totally lost, no friends so no one to help and explain, and finally it just doesn’t feel the same as it did the first 5 years I was playing. RIP EQ “CHOOO CHOOO, TRIAN TO THE TOP”
I was just watching one of your EverQuest Mysteries videos as the notification for this video popped up. What are the odds of that? 2020 just got better 👍👍👍
Yes Michael's shenanigans how does one obtain such an epic piece of art. Whats the Loc of the camp? How long do I have to wait? Whats the XP like while you group up to get this item... P.S. I know your real name isn't Michael's shenanigans. Thank you have a great day.
Love coming back to these videos. Now that I finally decided to start playing again it hits a bit different knowing I can go and see these things for myself.
Your Everquest videos have brought me great interest into this game, I was replaying Champions of Norrath on my PS2 recently and I was fascinated about it's roots so I looked into Everquest. Thats when I found u and now in greatly interested.
I got a real life Sharkjaw Cutlass. I think it was from a mail give-away that sony did during kunark. I mailed it in and months later it actually came. It was like 3 inches long, i guess it was made for the action figures they launched. I thought you should know that.
Always happy to see you uploading! For some reason I just can't find anyone else on youtube talking about everquest so I'm glad to see you popping up in my notifications
The reason the parrot painting looked different is because the game developers at one point upgraded all the game textures to HD. Well, HD for the time anyway. I think it was when Luclin came out if my 40 year old memory serves right. Glad to see fan content still being made for EQ. I miss the old days of "has anybody here seen my corpse" though. lol
I think he knows that, the point was someone on the p1999 forums told him to go check out the parrot and it was the new/enchanced/luclin graphics, which don't count, because the mysteries he's covering are about the old stuff. I think.
This was soo good, I loved every second of it, you have a new subscriber. I've been playing this game since it started in 1999 and I'm still playing my first character, a warrior, born just two months after EQ went live.
Wow. I can't even begin to imagine how that works. Everyone I know, myself included, realize their EQ nostalgia through reiterations of the earliest content, be it via P1999 or the now-regular progression servers. Both are a mixed bag, of course-the former is just a best-guess recreation of the actual experience, while the latter is of course 100% accurate but unfortunately has a lot of elements that are not "classic", including zones, some models, and even some quests. Sticklers like myself are deeply disappointed by how inaccurate P1999 is, when it comes down to it, so I've found the progression servers to be the best option. But... content after PoP? Decades after!? I know it exists, but you're the first person I've ever seen who claims to actually partake of it. Just saying there's a really good reason why they call it P1999 and not "Project EQ For Free".
@@Asterra2 You are absolutely correct. Velious is when the game IMO was the last best expansion. PoP was great but super hard, so hard in fact I had to take a break. After that the game just kept going down hill. I remember when this game got started there wasn't a real internet, mysteries had to be passed from person to person. I remember we had to run across the world, take boats, and run some more. If you died that was a hour lost of travel time and you had to start over again, CRAZY. I would go to the treant camp in south karana and be a banker to exchange copper, silver, gold for platinum for a price, then I would run my slow butt back to a bank to exchange due to the weight. I'm still playing because I love this game even now. My warrior, my first character is 115 and going strong. It's been a long road and I'm glad I was one of the originals of it.
10/10, best production on UA-cam. The amount of nostalgia is overwhelming. I laughed so hard it hurt and tears came out. The frame with music is just epic.
Some false walls you missed: Lower Guk, The Warrens, Neriak, The Hole, Feerrot, Mistmoore, Surefall, etc. And that is just old world. Kunark/Velious have tons more.
Gotta say, your editing has gotten even better, kudos! I can tell you put a ton of work into this and it shows. It was great, and I laughed many times. Also color me shocked about the clicky hidden door in High Keep! EQ vet here and I had no idea! I Gotta run around p1999 and click on everything just in case there is anything else like that. How awesome, good job on your bro for finding it.
You gotta cover the paintings in sol B!!! The walls are covered in different paintings of the kobolds fighting the goblins (and for some reason there is a giant white zebra? And also the gnolls look like white mice with red shoes).
Don’t know if you’re still EQ’ing, but please make more of these! Love the nostalgia and humor
The production value is totally insane given the small channel and niche audience, but I loved every second of it
The production values are out of this world
We are so not worthy lol
This video was so well done, really dig the intro!
This.
On the second tombstone I believe the last line is "3D Artist," and was blurred a bit more as it wasn't lore friendly, making the Brandon on the tombstone the Artist Brandon, not the Programmer!
yeah I was really looking for a class
It's definitely something artist. Solved!
@@chrisgatton621 To be fair, Brandon Bogle was probably a good BS artist. Chalking this one up to mystery still unsolved. :D
Hey 2020 isn't that bad after all
this didnt age well
@@maze513 still been making 2020 better for me! xD
At 11:17 omg you being so aggressive in your interview with that spear! Is that your microphone? Geeze man you put an eye out
If you only knew
@@Macdaddy590 here's hoping 2021 treats us better... and that this doesnt age poorly too
Pingle was a pirate is still one of my favorite 15 second jams, thank you for your work!
"Brandon was a great man, and an excellent 3D artist"
also: Beyond the Black Rainbow soundtrack again. kino
gets me copyright claimed every time!
I was certain I read artist as well
Second word looks like artist for sure
Everything you make is my favorite thing. Please do this forever.
I relied on your Everquest videos in the past year and change so much. Great work!!
"I don't need to say any more...
... But I will!"
Thanks for the content. Helps us get though the IRL Bertoxxulous event that's going on right now.
Here’s an unfortunate thing... rest in peace Mike Hutchins! 1968-2020 ♥️
Sad news for sure.
Wow, not even a month after this vid was put out.
wait, this guy died?
Wait... What the phuck?!? How??! There is for sure no God. At least not any that aren't from 40k...
this dude died for real? no way he was 50 years young?

just let your corpse rot! it's a good opportunity to start fresh and get some totemic armor to replace whatever it was that you had
Michael's shenanigans is there anything better than totemic armor?

These are so immaculately edited and delightfully funny. Please make more!
this is the quality content i subbed for
Let's have a server wide false wall raiding where every player goes looking for false walls in all of Norrath
I’m so bad at the game that I’m already smearing myself against walls all the time
New Michael Shenanigans EQ upload has lofted me from my covid doldrums! Thank you sire!

Ahh yes quality comprehensible normal entertainment for this incomprehensible time
hahahaha 9:50 I have no rival!!!! Dude, that painting though! You just dinged IRL, right through a hell lvl with that switch for the song. Amazing!!!

LON LON RANCH ! I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS, THE KIKKASS musical editing just brings me double the Nostalgia. X2 the Funzors;)
I was just watching one of your EverQuest Mysteries videos as the notification for this video popped up. What are the odds of that?
2020 just got better 👍👍👍
MY GOD I DIDN'T KNOW I NEEDED THAT PAINTING IN MY LIFE.
Freeport gates with that music playing has to be my peak gaming experience. The day transitioning to evening, hunting down skeletons. Classic.
Please share how it was made!
Yes Michael's shenanigans how does one obtain such an epic piece of art. Whats the Loc of the camp? How long do I have to wait? Whats the XP like while you group up to get this item...
P.S. I know your real name isn't Michael's shenanigans.
Thank you have a great day.
Yeah tell us where we can get that piece of art pretty pls 🙏🏼
Going through old screenshots is only second to going through old text documents detailing everything you could find about the shissar calender.
Love coming back to these videos. Now that I finally decided to start playing again it hits a bit different knowing I can go and see these things for myself.
Your Everquest videos have brought me great interest into this game, I was replaying Champions of Norrath on my PS2 recently and I was fascinated about it's roots so I looked into Everquest. Thats when I found u and now in greatly interested.
That painting is amazing. Better than any lava lamp, macrame owl, or solder knights helm.
You have the best editing out of any creator I watch. Michael we everquest fans are truly blessed to have hilarious ass around.
I got a real life Sharkjaw Cutlass. I think it was from a mail give-away that sony did during kunark. I mailed it in and months later it actually came. It was like 3 inches long, i guess it was made for the action figures they launched. I thought you should know that.
You have a painting of freeport? You sir, have gone above and beyond the call of duty. I applaud you.
Awesome! Always look forward to your videos.
needed this. thank you. please never stop making these eq videos
Always a pleasure! Watching your videos on EverQuest, while I am playing EverQuest...priceless!
Always happy to see you uploading! For some reason I just can't find anyone else on youtube talking about everquest so I'm glad to see you popping up in my notifications
We need you back! It's been too long since you've brought joy into my life.
Your EQ videos are like a fever dream I never want to wake up from

Uhhhhh...... im gonna need to know where I can get that framed painting of Freeport complete with midi music box. I must have it.
Me too!
Thank you so much, Made me download and try Everquest/Project1999 for the first time!
nothing has held my attention for 20mins in a long time

I would legit pay a bit to keep more of these coming. Just bravo all around.
This is why I don't mind the length between videos. When one comes out it is pure Plat.
"Bootlee" on vie server
I never thought it would happen
Bro! These Videos are GREAT! Thank you... I really miss EQ in the old days when you needed a Super Computer (well for that time period) to play :)
Thank you very much for making these videos. Honestly, I look forward to them. Love them.
That "heheheheheheheeee" is phenomenal. Sometimes i come to just listen to that to cheer me up.
Please never stop making these.
idk how am i here, never have i played EQ either but i can see good, bingeable content so here iam forever subbed
Brandon was an excellent "Rib Artist". Makes sense for the evil zone.
thanks for coming back... we've missed you!

I especially love that wall piece. Super jealous!
Thank you for the Highkeep tip; I've never been in that room before.
If I could give your sound painting a million thumbs up I would, but I can't so I gave it one.
You’re from the future, and have returned to keep us occupied with amazing content. Thank you!
More EQ videos! I could watch these all day.
I really appreciate all the work you put into these videos
That is the greatest livingroom picture I've ever seen.
The time, is 20:20. The year, is 2020.
another masterpiece, loved every second, you are hilarious I can never get enough of these
Entertaining... Still learning things all these years later :O

I could watch your EQ videos forever Mr. Shenanigans
This is incredible. I'm taken aback by its quality.
“and that’s why he lives in a tent.. DOWN BY THE RIVER.. and sales wigs”
Even if these take a long time, seriously they are SO good.
Now I have a mighty need to learn more about the mushroom monoliths of Luclin.
Im not sure how to really go about investigating them lol - good luck
You are a treasure and a legend.
That musical Freeport painting. I am officially extremely jelly.
I'm nostalgia-ing so hard right now
this is some top-tier storytelling.
Superior *normal* entertainment I can comprehend, at its finest.
That painting w/ music is dope
So THIS is what EverQuest induced psychosis looks like, surprisingly wholesome. Another entertaining romp, thanks Michael!
Been trying to get my EQ account to launch, glad I stumbled upon this video
Plane of Anxiety raid... lmao
Thank you
Its been 2 years,and I am still hoping for more EQ vids
I love that screenshot of Vision realising you’re that UA-camr guy that’s so classic! Laughed hard at 15:03 “why is your name familiar” lol
This video had me in friggin stitches. Seriously I never really played Everquest but I want to just to meet the illustrious Ping Fuzzlecutter.
Fantastic as always
It's time to revisit all Michael's EQ video again! I should make it a yearly thing like how I watch LotR every Christmas.😆
idk if they changed it, but last time i was camping mistmoore GY on p99, one of those tombstones said Tiffany and how she was a great whistler.
love this! love Everquest! love your channel!
