I can't believe I'm still getting a notification for this. The game is a lot better, but still not brilliant at its foundations; however, it seems a lot better too when you compare it to Total War: Warhammer. And that's wholly depressing.
I know this has been said a million times about a million people but I genuinely could listen to Brian Blessed reading the back of cereal packets for like an hour and enjoy it, especially if tangents are included.
Every time i feel a bit down in life, i watch Brian Blessed and it gives me happiness to see his glee at pretty much everything around him, he is like a ray of sunshine
See now if the Galactic empire had used Brian Blessed as the template for their clone troopers they would have NEVER been defeated.....just imagine an entire army made up of just Brian Blesseds in his prime? lol
Just a man with a man's courage You know he's nothing but a man And he can never fail No one but the pure at heart May find the Golden Grail Oh-oh, oh-oh
Holy shit, I never noticed the smaller details on this game, with the Romans quite literally carrying two different Pilum. Game maybe broken, but accuracy is outstanding.
When I was in Afghanistan in 2009 I made a sling out of paracord. A local national (and BAMF) we had working for us was kind enough to demonstrate the proper technique. Those rocks sounded like bullets going through the air. BZZZZZZZZZ!
There was, romans even implied a dirty tactic during battlefield of setting a pig aflame and let it run against enemy formations. It would not kill anyone but would distract, scare and demoralize the enemies
3000 years ago : That kid is the worst slinger in the village. He missed the giant's eyes and throat completely, but at least he stunned him. Maybe he can get better with practice. Today : And God guided David's sling to miraculously hit Goliath! Praise be! God is real! What a shot!
I love Brian Blessed, but I doubt that those shots were done by him and not a professional. Now, back in his prime, I’d definitely believe it. He was a beast!
Brian Blessed: Total War.
Make it happen.
How marvelous would it be to have a "Total War" general suddenly belt out "Hawk Men! Diiiiiiiiive!"
Close enough. We're getting Felix and Gotrek. Gotrek is voiced by Brian Blessed.
1 vs 2000, battle projection; overwhelming defeat.
Brian Blessed: "GET IT UP YA YOU BARBARIAN BASTARD!"
*decisive victory*
aye, flash gordon total war.
does he not do the voice of Gotrek in Total War: Warhammer 2?
why is this in my recommended 6 years late
Same
Brian's been added to the warhammer game as Gotrek the Dwarf recently so it's topical.
Same
Yeah dude xd
I like this video very much actually
Brian Blessed (Legend)
Most fitting description I ever read.
If the Romans had Brian Blessed as a secret weapon the empire would never have collapsed
ITA CAlled, abolish Christianity to lower spending
If Brian was Caesar, Rome would have taken over the world, all the world would be Latin !
i like how they didn't show the impact of the flaming bolt because they knew it wasn't gonna work
Fire arrows. (AKA laser guns).
was looking for this comment haha
useful for very few things
@@BigBazz-Clips The same here!
lol, yeah.
Everything is better with Brian Blessed
His voice is incredible, I could hear he narrating every sort of text or history all day.
DIVE!!!
As they say, it has been B L E S S E D
The game may be broken but this deserves a like for BRIAN BLESSED alone.
2 years later, do you think the game is better now?
I can't believe I'm still getting a notification for this.
The game is a lot better, but still not brilliant at its foundations; however, it seems a lot better too when you compare it to Total War: Warhammer.
And that's wholly depressing.
yes the game is pretty good now
I gave you a thumbs up because you thought it should get a thumbs up for Brian Blessed alone. Well said!!
I like this game better than Total War Warhammer.
Brian Blessed makes everything better. Actor, explorer, mountaineer, polar-bear-puncher. Just a legend.
Came for the game, stayed for the Brian.
"it's the scutum"
"the scrotum?"
"no not the scrotum"
i love you Brian Blessed!
I know this has been said a million times about a million people but I genuinely could listen to Brian Blessed reading the back of cereal packets for like an hour and enjoy it, especially if tangents are included.
Two of his best lines 'Qunitinius Varus, where are my eagles!' and 'As quick as boiled esparagus' he was superb as Augustus in
I CLAVDIVS
Every time i feel a bit down in life, i watch Brian Blessed and it gives me happiness to see his glee at pretty much everything around him, he is like a ray of sunshine
The bearded fellow is giving me liiife right now! I love his passion.
Try watching I, Claudius. The “bearded fellow” is Brian Blessed and be plays Augustus.
Could we please just get a new BBC documentary where Brian Blessed takes us through the evolution of warfare.!
And let him test out all sorts of ancient weaponry. Trebuchets, catapults and the like.
Yessssss, I want to see him fire a cannon. Or command a musket volley.
"Narrow foreshaft = less friction"
this is what I'll tell ladies from now on to feel better
lmfao
Whem she negates your statement, tell her u cant beat science.
Erik Van der Zee lmao! I’m dead
F
But, but, I thought it was the friction they enjoyed? :D :'(
"That's chucking stuff at people!" Nice explenation Brian!
Roma Vita!
Love Brian Blessed. He's done pretty much everything. Punched a polar bear, became a cosmonaut and all that jazz
I feel like Brian had a good day and that makes me happy
"That'd make him cough, wouldn't it?"
Brian Blessed is a treasure.
I want to be Brian Blessed when I grow up. (I'm only 44)
i'm 55 and Brian is younger than the both of us. he makes me look like a miserable old curmudgeon historian wannabe.
Brian blessed - faith in humanity restored
If Brian Blessed narrates anything it goes up by a 1000% in awesomness
See now if the Galactic empire had used Brian Blessed as the template for their clone troopers they would have NEVER been defeated.....just imagine an entire army made up of just Brian Blesseds in his prime? lol
The only reason they lost because of plot armour, the Republic doesn't fare much better
'Quintius Varus where are my eagles!' Brian was superb as Augustus Ceasar.
"That'll make him cough."
Brian Blessed's delivery had me cough in laughter.
"This is it, a flaming, incendiary dart!".
Me, a Lindybeige educated person: Oh my.
Ah, a fellow man of culture. Lindybeige!
*Sips gin from tea cup with murderous intent*
@@nanocowie are there other ways to sip gin that i am not aware of?
Mmh beige
Lol, penetrating Frenchman!!
Is he yelling at barbarians while wearing sweatpants? God BLESS that man!
I only just got recommended but god damn do I love Brian Blessed. He is a treasure and should be in more strategy games xD
If Brian Blessed was Caesar, Rome would have never collapsed.
There was the time that he was Octavian, though...
He looked like he was having fun
the old guy is in love with those weapons and he shoots with madness screaming against "barberians"
In real he is the only fucking barberian....
Brian Blessed is the broken capslock of people.
Brian Blessed is my spirit animal.. with a little David Mitchel
I was listening and not watching when he said "THIS is a scrotum" and I had to do a triple take
Take a sip evey time Brian says MARVELOUS
When your game do better job at documentary than history channel
Always love a bit of Brian blessed, his voice is amazing
Brian Blessed will voice act Gotrek in the Warhammer game :D
Glad to see Konrad Kyser back with his war machines.
Oh Brian Blessed, this is why we love you.
Brian Blessed is insane
Brian Blessed is truly Blessed
"I have in fact been in many PlayStations". -Bryan Blessed (legend)
Imagine there was a feature to make legionaries use slings and they could swap between the sling and melee weapons
This old man is really obsessed!!!
Now I think I know where the phrase "A bullet with your name on it" came from.
Thanks YT algorithm see you in 7 years in lockdown 21
One would never expect that BRIAN BLESSED loves to meditate
I am a simple man. I see Brian Blessed, I click play.
Brian Blessed would be the best Grandad.
Just make a TV series with Brian Blessed firing weapons.
Just a man with a man's courage
You know he's nothing but a man
And he can never fail
No one but the pure at heart
May find the Golden Grail
Oh-oh, oh-oh
This guy should have a youtube channel, makes a rock fun
liked for brian blessed
BRIAN BLESSED
~LEGEND~
Thought that was common knowledge by now.
Gotrek travelling the (Roman) Empire to learn about the Umgi ways of war!
Blessed must've really had fun with the Roman catapults haha
ALL HAIL PRINCE VULTAN!!!
FIRST WAVE, DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!
Gordon's alive!! Wonderful :)
Now time to attack.
I've got 7 years later what bloody legend he is. National treasure
I will never forget hos voice-over as the Roman general in "Asterix"! :)
Brian Blessed. Fuck yes. I will watch anything with him in.
Such a mad bushy bastard...I love him.
Holy shit, I never noticed the smaller details on this game, with the Romans quite literally carrying two different Pilum. Game maybe broken, but accuracy is outstanding.
A loud, heartily laughing man in charge of an artillery piece...
I'll be starting a petition that Brian Blessed never change.
good lord this is FANTASTIC
**Gets impaled with pilum**
Brian The Legend Blessed: That'll make him cough
"Marvelous"
I wish he was the narrator in Total War...A Shakespearian Actor as a lowly Narrator in T W...tis but a dream !
KID ASK: what santa does in the summer?
THIS VIDEO
Forget the weapons, Brian could have stopped an army by shouting at them.
Happy birthday to my boy Brian Blessed!
When I was in Afghanistan in 2009 I made a sling out of paracord. A local national (and BAMF) we had working for us was kind enough to demonstrate the proper technique. Those rocks sounded like bullets going through the air. BZZZZZZZZZ!
This elderly guy is so enthusiastic
I adore Brian Blessed. I loved him in the first Blackadder series.
Brian is such a legend lol
He is excited more than Caesar after having conquered Vercingehorix
Brian Blessed: Legend!!
i’m still coming back to watch this and just now noticed that they cut off the incendiary dart impact b/c there’s no such things as flaming arrows
There was, romans even implied a dirty tactic during battlefield of setting a pig aflame and let it run against enemy formations. It would not kill anyone but would distract, scare and demoralize the enemies
0:54 Careful. This wild Gaul might strip himself naked and fight you.
Everyone is coming back to this video after seeing it once years and years ago bc we all remember how f*n funny Brian Blessed is! MARVELOUS!!!
3000 years ago : That kid is the worst slinger in the village. He missed the giant's eyes and throat completely, but at least he stunned him. Maybe he can get better with practice.
Today : And God guided David's sling to miraculously hit Goliath! Praise be! God is real! What a shot!
Brian Blessed is the best type of insane
So before kingdom come deliverance this is how Konrad kyeser learned to make seige engines
Brain Blessed
~Legand~
You're goddamn right.
I love learning history like this
I love Brian Blessed, but I doubt that those shots were done by him and not a professional. Now, back in his prime, I’d definitely believe it. He was a beast!
You gotta always have that old dude that sounds like the history channel guy
if that bearded guy where to be born in ancient rome he would be a general
6:28 NOW THIS IS A REAL TOY TO PLAY WITH, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
They also used a certain type of projectile that when flung into the air, it makes a terrible whistling sound that greatly breaks the enemies' morale
as slinger you are not allowed to have meals until you hit the target.
Now i want Total War: 40k with Brian Blessed (Legend) and similar trailers... thank you very much internet...
Um i would watch alot more of Brian blessed, so much love for his work.
You got to love Brian Blessed! :D
These guys know how to make a show interesting.
I'd be honored if Brian Blessed narrated my daily life.
Parthian Kataphractii (wearing steel fish-scale armour) gets hit by ballistae bolt, carrys-on severely pissed off!
Brian Blessed is surely blessed
I'm willing to completely forget the disappointment that was Rome II; without it, we would never have gotten more Brian Blessed!
