I was legit like "Hey that isn't Halo. That's final fantasy." Very quickly, ran to the comments to see this. Then went back to the video for Michael to go "That's Hymn of the Fayth from Final Fantasy 10." Floored me.
21:10 Michael needs a mixer effect that slowly fades out his mic. That way he can continue yelling at full volume while achieving a comically sounding falling fade
they referenced it in some video during the Ray era also (I guess probably more than one vid). edit: searching the RT subreddit, apparently Jack makes the joke in Let's Play Minecraft - Episode 136 - Mega Dig Part 2, and several others, in response to Gavin making Gav noises :P
Michael got character development. Last time when Geoff mentioned that grape stomping video in a minecraft episode, it was Michael's first introduction to that video lmao. (iirc)
a weird amount of echo in this one. you can hear them yell on both mics and its a little jarring. otherwise, fantastic episode! I love seeing these guys play games!
It's the audio tracks being out of sync with each other in the edit, Gav's mic picking up Michael & Michael's mic picking up Gav, both of them have been placed offset in Final Cut/whatever software they're using now. They need to adjust their noise gates to cut down on audio bleed from others in the office
That's because they were taking a break between the last videos. If I recall, Dan was finally able to fly back to the States to Gavin took some time away to film a bunch of SlowMoGuys stuff with Dan. That's why it was originally taking soo long in between episodes.
So I'm not sure if anyone else has said this yet but at the start during the opening cut-sence Michael correctly guesses that Cortona's time in the installation's core accelerates her rampancy. If I'm remembering correctly she learns so much during her time here that she shears time off of her life expectancy and with only 7 years for a lifespan that ends up being significant especially considering the time gap between halo 3 and 4.
She doesn't lose any time in Installation 04's core. In Halo 4, she hits the 7 year lifespan (created in 2549 and Halo 4 takes place in 2556). After splintering herself and subsequently being mostly destroyed in the didacts ship, she manages to upload herself to the Domain and learns how to avoid rampancy
@@wanderfloof i just had a look at halopedia and it had the following to say: the sheer amount of information recovered from halo cut into Cortona's processing power, a burden which weakened her greatly. during her time on ascendant justice, Cortana exhibited uncharacteristic behavior including anger, distraction and self doubt- an indicator that she was nearing rampancy. So between halo 1 and 2 she is showing signs of rampancy approximately 5 years before her final dispensation date.
Michael has an odd knack for remembering and performing a capella song renditions. I remember him performing In the End by Linkin Park during a GTA video with no backing and getting the timing down perfectly. He's also performed Billy Joel during a GTA.
Oh hey, a video that majority of the fans enjoy, and it’s long, and it doesn’t have a bunch of needless edits, and it’s just people playing a game and having fun…really makes ya think.
That sounds like a you problem. Now do the Robocop Theme, the Conan the Barbarian Theme, the Terminator Theme, and the Rambo III theme and keep them separate.
You know, I think I figured out why the Banshee's can't Banshee Bomb. Because they share a projectile with the Fuel Rod Gun and the Hunter Arm Cannon. The big, slow moving cubes. So it probably spawns and immediately clips into the Banshee, which causes it to explode. Unless it was intended to self destruct?
You pretty much nailed it on the head. When Ray was doing his own Cursed Halo run, he died a lot on that section due to that very reason and couldn't seem to figure out why. He'd try to clear out the enemies but couldn't do much about the Wraith (which the Cursed Halo version is a nightmare due to it firing multiple projectiles at the same time that lock on and track you). So he would just end up trying to rush to the Banshee while taking a lot of damage, jump in the Banshee, and try to boost away only for the "bomb" to be triggered and automatically detonate, killing him.
I would love to see gav and Michael restart Achievement HORSE once Halo Infinite's forge mode gets released. There's so much potential for community interaction there
My favorite parts: Michael launching himself off the bridge, sneaking that Warthog through the door, ABBA causing trouble by spawning a hostile hog, and Michael wedging the hog in the door. This was truly taking it to the next level!
As of right now, it's only Halo: CE that has a Cursed mod (as far as I am aware) but I think the same devs that made this mod are working on one for Halo 2, but I could be wrong.
We're blessed to get two cursed halo episodes this close together after such a hiatus. They're getting close to the end of the campaign, and if I'm not mistaken, the game progresses into cursedness even more towards the end.
Yup only 2 missions left now I believe and if my indication is correct then they have recorded those episodes as well and it shouldn't be to long before we get to watch them in all of their glory
Michael's humming at the beginning kept making my brain think of the hymn of the faith, and then he DID go into it. You were right, I absolutely loved that. :"D
from the moment they blasted the warthog through the door til the end of the video is I think the most and hardest i've ever laughed in my life. I wanted to laugh even more, but my body couldn't physically do it. holy shit
17:15 There needs to be a compilation of Gavin getting out of vehicles and dying immediately. XD Between this and GTA there must be a full length videos worth of Gavin's vehicular ineptitude.
Holy shit, my brother always did the exact same thing Michael did in the intro. He'd always start overenthusiastically humming the Halo theme as a joke, but every time he'd transition into Final Fantasy X. It was amazing watching Michael do the very same.
One of the best playps in a long time. Cursed Halo has been a godsend. You guys should convince the rest of AH to do some multi-player Cursed Halo if that's possible.
I skipped the first few seconds and heard what I recognized to be the hymn on the fayth... almost gaslight myself into thinking I was recognizing it wrong, since there'd be no reason for it.
So fun fact there is one important trigger (outside of leaving the tunnel) that will only spawn if every other trigger in the mission is hit. They missed the bridge triggers so that the trigger didn't spawn. This is the biggest setback in speedrunning this mission.
They still don’t know why the banshee fuel rod doesn’t work? 😂. The big slow square projectile is detonating on the banshee before it even comes into view, because the banshee is flying forward into it.
9:40 Welcome to Halo Ball Z. 27:45 Warthogercraft. 33:30 Gavin just won't let go of the Warthogercraft. 34:10 "Doortana." Sorry, Michael, but you're more of a Miketrap. "Aaaaaaand open!" 35:20 Flight of the Wartkyrie. 36:20 The game just gave up on giving them directions. On the brigh side, this looks like a better open world Halo than Infinite aka "Shadow Of Warthog: Far Cry of the Wild's Creed." 42:30 Wedgehog. 43:20 Unwedgehog.
“We are going to literally fly through the rest of the level.”
They did not
To be fair, they did literally fly... Just not metaphorically XD
Wow no joke, it absolutely did not want them to take that hog all the way to the end lmao

Missing a load zone will do that to you :(
Lemony Snicket: They did not, in fact, literally fly through the rest of the level.
🤣
Gavin grabbing the rockets, lining up his shot, turning around, and firing it straight into Michael’s back is absolutely hilarious
The warthog story arc was incredible
Perfect rendition of "Hymn of the Fayth." Thanks for that, Michael
Michael ignored the sound advice and did indeed approach the summoner
Hymn is always somewhere in my head. Ever since I was a kid haha.
I was legit like "Hey that isn't Halo. That's final fantasy." Very quickly, ran to the comments to see this. Then went back to the video for Michael to go "That's Hymn of the Fayth from Final Fantasy 10." Floored me.
Can't wait for the remix
I was very much not expecting that lol.
Gavin, as someone who has spent countless hours shoving things where they don't belong, that was an A+ class wedge job. Kudos good sir.
that could mean many different things lol
Look
If it feels good there, that's where it belongs

34:25 “huh they’re so close, why is there like 15 mins left?”
Later that evening
“Ah, that’s why.”
*Gavin makes Gavin sounds*
Michael: “What are you stomping grapes?”
Brilliant callback to some classic internet history.
It was so on point. Really got me. Lol.
they referenced it in some video during the Ray era also (I guess probably more than one vid). edit: searching the RT subreddit, apparently Jack makes the joke in Let's Play Minecraft - Episode 136 - Mega Dig Part 2, and several others, in response to Gavin making Gav noises :P

Loved the Hymn of the Fayth, Michael! You were right, those who know do love it.
Johnson just letting that full wobbly sniper clip loose all at once is so funny
No way we get another episode this shortly after the last!
Ikr I just glansed over it originally cuz of the other one coming out last week thought it was that one

22:22 GAVIN: They don’t fight for us at all! They just fight!
I love when Michael is running and he starts fake breathing fast.
As soon as they discovered the warthog this became an entirely different video
Michael getting the angle wrong and blunderbussing off the bridge was hilarious 😂
which time?
Michael has an odd knack for remembering and performing a capella song renditions. I remember him performing In the End by Linkin Park during a GTA video with no backing and getting the timing down perfectly. He's also performed Billy Joel during a GTA.
Growing up where he did, he'd better get Billy Joel right. It's probably been drilled into his head since childhood.
@@Korfman That's fair.
I legit had Billy Joel stuck in my head for months after that, and again now 🤣
If these two and made their own playpals channel with Ray and Jeremy occasionally visiting it'd be incredibly successful.
Missing a load zone and getting lost, that's Two betrayals alright.
Oh hey, a video that majority of the fans enjoy, and it’s long, and it doesn’t have a bunch of needless edits, and it’s just people playing a game and having fun…really makes ya think.
It sure is a crazy format
Careful too much truth causes comments to be deleted haha
Omg! Every time I try to hum the Halo theme I always go into the hymn of the faith.
That sounds like a you problem. Now do the Robocop Theme, the Conan the Barbarian Theme, the Terminator Theme, and the Rambo III theme and keep them separate.
That ending was amazing! I really didn't realise how much I've missed watching AH until these last 2 episodes
The emotional rollercoaster of a ride that Normal Warthog X Damaged Door saga was, simply beautiful.
I like that Johnson was just chilling with them for half the level

Yep, this is basically it. The banshees do in fact fire cubes.

When Gav realizes what Michael is doing. Such a perfect PlayPs moment.
34:19 that was so 'Door-key' and I loved it

Damn I wasn't expecting another one of these in 2022
43:53 Words cannot describe my face at how gavin managed to get the D20 effect that spawns a second flying hog and they died
I love the dedication to dragging the warthog along! I'd be doing the same thing!
Hell yeah! You're given a flying warthog and only get to use it for the next valley? Fuck that, drag it along as much as possible!
PLEASE let there be a Cursed Halo SAGA.. I'd watch ALL of these
As of right now, it's only Halo: CE that has a Cursed mod (as far as I am aware) but I think the same devs that made this mod are working on one for Halo 2, but I could be wrong.
Idea: Playps Play Stanley Parable Ultra Deluxe.
Everyone! Like this so they see it
43:20 That went from Human fall flat style to classic play pals energy real quick XD
This series is holding the channel together for me at this point
This is one of the best videos in this series hands down. So happy when they unwedged the Warthog.
Michael and Gavin together will never stop being funny

I’m glad i’m watching playpals again
13:38 it does shoot but fuel rods are superslow squares so you immediately run into it
I gotta say the editing on this episode is amazing! Love what they did with the face cams.
Them being each others greatest enemies in this was hilarious.🤣🤣🤣
The triggers for the end of this level are ridiculous. I had the pleasure of learning them in detail for LASO.
Holy shit, my brother always did the exact same thing Michael did in the intro. He'd always start overenthusiastically humming the Halo theme as a joke, but every time he'd transition into Final Fantasy X. It was amazing watching Michael do the very same.
Its really great that after all this time and company drama you two remained best buds.
35:01 "Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads." 🤣
Michael got me. Was thinking to myself, I swear that song is from Final Fantasy...
Loved watching ur guys content over the years! Thanks for all the good memories!
Love these. Have old AH vibe to them. Michael seems to have mellowed out a lot though
Haven't watched AH in about a year and a half, but when I saw the classic duo at it you know that streak ended immediately.
Holy shit! Michael's Hymn of the Fayth was REALLY good! Filter or not filter, that song is NOT easy to sing! Especially that last bit!
Thank god Playps is untouched ❤️ when Gavin got the normal hog through the door, I got so excited!
One of the best playps in a long time. Cursed Halo has been a godsend. You guys should convince the rest of AH to do some multi-player Cursed Halo if that's possible.
This is one of the funniest cursed halo vids! Everything was hilarious from start to finish! I couldn't stop laughing the entire time!
Random thought: Moonknight, but Gavin is Stephen Grant, Michael is Mark Spector, and Alfredo is Jake Lockely
Clearly Michael would be Jake. Not sure about Mark, nobody is sad enough for that in AH
I'm so glad he was actually going for the Hymn. I was sitting there thinking how much it sounded like it, thought I was going nuts.
Been a fan for over 10 years, and episodes like this are why I still am, Jesus fucking Christ 😂😂😂😂
This was the quickest between each mission that for a second I thought this was an old video
Gavin's talent to wedge it is impecable! This is a real grand soon to be finale.
Legit the funniest thing I've seen all week.
The banshee fires the same projectile as the Hunters. Which is so slow the banshee flies into it
A minute in, already love it! Nice FFX representation there!
Best video of this series. I’m fully dead
I skipped the first few seconds and heard what I recognized to be the hymn on the fayth... almost gaslight myself into thinking I was recognizing it wrong, since there'd be no reason for it.
a fate worse then death, stepping into water when you only have socks on, gotta throw the whole master cheif out at that point
these are my homies
I can't stand how little they use the D20s when there's just a pile of them sitting there.
MICHAELS INTRO WITH 'HYMN OF THE FAITH' MADE MY WHOLE DAY
I don’t know why, but “doortana” killed me
I love how their luck has been so bad this whole playthrough that it took them till level 8 to get the HoverHog.
The last half of this video is an absolute ADVENTURE
Praise be to Yevon. Lol
best part of the video was when you tried to take the flying warthog everywhere, felt like classic Gavin shenanigans
That friggin Abba once they got the warthog through 😂😂😂😂 hilarious
Ah yes...classic Play Pals...as all things should be...
Are you stomping grapes that’s such an old perfect reference
So fun fact there is one important trigger (outside of leaving the tunnel) that will only spawn if every other trigger in the mission is hit. They missed the bridge triggers so that the trigger didn't spawn. This is the biggest setback in speedrunning this mission.

Michael, I love your version of the "Hymn of the Fayth". FFX was my favorite final fantasy, waiting on my Steam Deck to play through it again.
Man, I wish they'd use the D20s more, especially when there are a bunch of replacements like at the top of the tower at the start of the canyon.
