I always get so nervous when indie game devs go for a blursed feel to their videos, that it’ll turn out cringe. But you guys nailed it, super funny video. Kindly requesting you deny Mandy from the hall of horse atleast one more time, have to keep his ego in check.
Thank you. My brain needed that formatting. Now I have more space to remember things like my... Name? Why are walls bleeding? Anyway, I will add those games to my wishlist... What is a wishlist? Why the sun is laughing at me? Anyway, awesome work!
I saw your sale and didn’t think much of it. This has convinced me to take another look and keep my eye on games you publish. Love to see fun, risk taking behavior.
I had no clue what I was watching for the first 5 minutes, but this is brilliant. I was browsing the steam page of your sale and realized I already own most of the games from there. Love your city builder games. Reminds me of the old days of strategy games in the best way possible.
Who would have guessed that watching a niche strategy game publisher's press conference feat. Mandy at 3am might be a bad idea. My sleep paralysis demon and I are still not sure if we should break out in laughter or hide under the blanket. Well, at least I won't wake up too late for work tomorrow...
Is this a one time collab or is there more to this? Mandy x hooded horse I mean? Edit: I have so many questions, did you guys gave him free reign on this? Isn't that noodles digital to analogue converter? Does this count as this months mandalore video? Surely no puplisher would want their games presented in tiny blurry snippets like an Eric andre skit?
Mandy is our Director of Player Experience, so he's part of the team! He works with developers before release to help give feedback and help them fine-tune the games. 99% doesn't show up in anything anyone would see externally, but he's there in the background doing amazing things to help the games
If I had a nickel for everytime one of my favorite videogame reviewers end up being a director in an indie videogame publishing company, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice.
"Surely no puplisher would want their games presented in tiny blurry snippets like an Eric andre skit?" I just added Breachway to my cart and followed Hooded Horse on Steam.

The last time I'd heard Mandalore talk about a horse is when one farted so bad it made a dog throw up. Think he's a smart hire, got me to watch an entire Direct from a fairly recent publisher where if it was more dry I probably wouldn't have engaged! I appreciate the VHS filter as a good skit but I don't think I could watch another video with it, the blurryness hurt my eyes and took away from the games a little. Hope the sale goes well and you continue to publish some right gems.
My recently new favourite publisher and one of my favourite youtubers together in an insane, bizarro mashup is not what I expected but I really appreciated.
I love the analog horror aesthetic that also at times feels like an alternate universe Mr. Plinkett basement sketch. Hooded Horse publishes stone if my favorite ganes. Good job, Mandy! Tim wanted to flex his Mandarin.
No, you have one mistake here. This was always Mandy's TRUE form. Sseth's a normal person who mastered acting crazy, Mandy on the other hand is an insane individual who had to learn how to act normal.
@@dazerrazer3018 Wrath of The Druids or any other adventure game he did a video on also some of his earlier videos. There's a reason the meme/ fanfiction theory is Mandalore and SsethTzeentach are in fact the same person and Sseth is unleashed on the world when Mandy doesn't take his medication is so popular. If you don't know who Sseth is just picture this video all the time and sometimes even more unhinged if you can believe it.
It’s been forever since I’ve seen a bit this weird with this aesthetic done at this level of quality. Every “mic” joke alone had me rolling. Also so happy to finally be able to play Breachway!
I don't really know what I just watched but I was enthralled. Learning Mandalore has played Empires of the Undergrowth makes me smile, and he's right about Against the Storm. That game can take over your life.

**checks sale**
**unreleased games I can't yet purchase**
i may be stupid
A show so good they said I didn't have to make any more!
But we want more
ur so cool
It takes effort to make something this bad.
@@jacobmoss6830 it's an art piece. It belongs in a museum
Just so you know this might be the only direct anything i watch more then 5 minutes before leaving the video. Good job :)
This is, quite possibly, the most high quality schizopost I've ever seen from a game publisher
Between mandy and Seth idk who's worse.
Absolutely Seth, as seen by the fact that no publisher is going to let him anywhere near their IP on purpose.
@@EmptyTempest Seth edgy humor and constant drug references make him a brand risk, but man, when he finds a game he likes, that game is going to see its sales skyrocket to the moon.
Civvie11 would be proud of this one
@@a2izo Who is Seth in this context? I'm a huge fan of MandaloreGaming, but don't know who Seth is
The skeletonized body of Mandy was found at the threshold of the Hall of Horse only a few days after this Direct.
"It's the mystery of the Droooods, they all have an attitude...."
Natural causes rest assured, RIP in RIP Mandy.
He failed the Salt Arc
... Large, hazmat suit... Was that Dimitri?
Peetah... the horse is here.
Please let Mandalore into The Hall of Horse.
Running full-scale petition now!
HE SHANT BE
Ah finally, a gaming presentation made for gamers.
Also whoever decided to upload this VHS nightmare video in 4k is fucking funny.
Glad I'm not the only one who noticed that. Amazing little gag!
Hooded Horse has done a great job supporting weird and confusing works of art, both in the games industry and in whatever the heck this is.
Volvy sighting.
We're big fans, Volvy is awesome
Chad to Chad communication
You know you want ssethtzeentach for your next one...
Oh! Looks like this is going to be a collab of a decade!
@@ZendegiLeonardconsidering how many jokes Sseth makes about the jewish community I don't think this is a good idea.
Whoever came up with this needs a raise. Give them an extra 5 minutes to their break
Is this the cycles of guilt Mandy keeps going on about?
I’m betting that he gets into the hall of horse and it’s just shankaram island.
As he does, BanBan whisper to him about the secret buried on T'au Ceti, and the hunger of the Beast in the Sun.

This is completely normal for Mandy
It’s either this or the witches, and that’s just what he deals with before lunch.
@@Thebearabidesafter lunch he deals with the voices, like the one that says Fire Warrior is technically one of the reincarnations of Mjølner from Marathon.
It's well within his wheelhorse
This is an experimental art film disguised as a review
took me a while to understand that this video only exists cos mandalore used to work with horses and describes them like Lovecraft describes unspeakable horrors
Wonder if he has nightmares about the horse eating the mice
@@ivarent3784
Yes... *And he was the mice*
@@ivarent3784 Have the mice stopped screaming, Mandalore?
10/10 presentation would watch again. So much better than the usual corpo slop.
I like how this goes from sketch to ytp to analog horror over the course of a single video
I genuinely didn't expect a Lake Mungo jumpscare.
Guys I dont know what happened I had a mental shutdown while watching this and after I woke up I somehow had bought Manor Lords and Empires of the Undergrowth help me I’m scared
Empires of the Undergrowth feels like the game people wanted Kurgesagt to make when they released their ant videos.
It is the ordained change. Do not be afraid.
Hooded horse may not be able to afford offices without radeon but they're fantastic at finding interesting games to publish 😂
Radeon: Computer part company
Radon: Gas that only forms as a side effect of _nuclear fission._
this is an actual masterpiece and my only gripe is that this is going to be impossible to top
so many little references and the editor notes were peak humor.
friendship ended with new blood, hooded horse is my new favorite company
100%, Mandy, Brendaniel and crew are such a vile and viscous arrangement of creatures, they truly do lead to the greatest contained chaos this side of the alternate universe (the Jermaverse, where everything is Jerma and he has already won).
Cant believe the horse "lover" mandy is working with hooded horse!
"What are you going to do, punch a horse?"
Horses aren't real
As long as HoodedHorse don't see a butterfly, it should be okay

Hearing Mandalore and Brendaniel in this is a breath of radon-filled air!
I feel like a Mandy Horse Hybrid might be my new sleep paralysis demon
Didn't realize my favorite UA-camr is also my favorite Bloodborne boss.
hooded WHAT
Squid, hooded squid, don't worry horses don't exist and they certainly aren't just outside you window
Hooded [Non existent creature]
Hooded Cryptid
I heard Jim's telling me that you almost killed a guy is true Mistor Metokur say hi by the way.
"i don't have the resources to make a a24 movie"
*literally recording a a24 movie with an nintendo dsi xl
RULE OF COOL
a24 wishes they could make something as good as this
I did not expect a sudden VHS aesthetic but I'm not complaining as I'm thoroughly entertained
The work Mandi for that 4sec joke in his Alien Isolation video paid off in spades
@Roadk1ll21 and proves his point on how filters and plugins just can't beat the real thing.
If game announcements were delivered to me via cryptic messaging I’d watch more game announcements
I feel al little bit bad for publishers like Sony after seeing this. How are they to know this is all I've ever wanted, to get into the HALL OF HORSE
the most unhinged, disturbing and schizophrenic publisher direct I've seen in my life.
well done. Liked and subscribed for more.
Can you guys liberate the Homeworld IP from Randy?
He will only give it up if they give him a USB drive with barely legal stuff on it
Man, when mandy said he had a folder full of disturbing horses, he wasn't kidding.
Why is this so disturbing yet so funny, please let Mandy make more of these, also hearing brendaniel was a surprise (or not).
Everybody talking about Mandy but goddamn Brendaniels voice is so good for voice-overs lmao
*World Reveal!*
Can’t wait to spot the eve online ships in the background
I think I felt my soul leave my body.
10/10 would watch this fever dream as an annual showcase.
I can't tell if I'm having a stroke or not
I always get so nervous when indie game devs go for a blursed feel to their videos, that it’ll turn out cringe. But you guys nailed it, super funny video.
Kindly requesting you deny Mandy from the hall of horse atleast one more time, have to keep his ego in check.
Thank you. My brain needed that formatting. Now I have more space to remember things like my... Name? Why are walls bleeding? Anyway, I will add those games to my wishlist... What is a wishlist? Why the sun is laughing at me?
Anyway, awesome work!
Kind of amazing how normal it all sound, after watching this video.
We are coming.
This is my favourite analog horror video now.
EDIT: What the hell I was barely a third in when I wrote it
What to expect from Hooded Horse?? LOTS OF GAMES
What to expect from Mandy and his pals, advertisement using House of Leaves as a guide.
Going back to youtube poops as a form of marketing is bold
I can still hear the Horse Punishment Tone
2:01 HAZE WARNING
This was worth the near fatal levels of Radon! Thanks Hooded Horse!
14:12 LIVE DUSKERS GAMEPLAY
First thing I thought to lol
This is the most schizophrenic game show I've ever seen, and I love it
"There's no I in my keyboard either" really got me
2:22 Brendaniel jumpscare
I saw your sale and didn’t think much of it. This has convinced me to take another look and keep my eye on games you publish. Love to see fun, risk taking behavior.
Man this was great, you dont beat devolver by imitating them, but by making your own thing like this. Verry good
The Neon to Devolver's a24
I had no clue what I was watching for the first 5 minutes, but this is brilliant. I was browsing the steam page of your sale and realized I already own most of the games from there. Love your city builder games. Reminds me of the old days of strategy games in the best way possible.
a vhs style horror about a game sale is somehow better than any other "normal" style of those videos and im in love
this is so amazing. blows devolver's big budget directs out of the water. I wasnt expecting to laugh at a publishers showcase
Who would have guessed that watching a niche strategy game publisher's press conference feat. Mandy at 3am might be a bad idea. My sleep paralysis demon and I are still not sure if we should break out in laughter or hide under the blanket. Well, at least I won't wake up too late for work tomorrow...
I'm glad there was time to film and edit this back in the early 2000s.
The frog man randomly flashing on the screen had me crying
Art.
There is something so unsettling about this video. I love it.
finally some good shit on this fucking website
Oh no, not the abandoned Toys 'r Us
Is this a one time collab or is there more to this? Mandy x hooded horse I mean?
Edit: I have so many questions, did you guys gave him free reign on this?

It sounds like he's a proper employee there. They list him as "Director of Player Experience", which is a fascinating thing to learn.
And we can all see what "doing amazing things in the background" has done to bis mind.

I swear to god, Mandy is in so many horse related shenanigans that he's effectively become an Avatar of Poseidon.
What a fever dream, also I can detect that is a genuine busted computer used in making this "experience"
I didn't expect a publisher steam sale anouncment is gona be one of my favourite videos of all time
oh god, he wasn't lying, him saying he would just go nuts was actually used in the video
guess now's as good a time as ever to get the ant game
They got 2016 Mandy and took away his meds, this is amazing, instant classic
WE MAKIN IT OUT OF THE HALL OF HORSE WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥
But the objective is to get INTO the Hall of Horse!
There is no withdrawal from the Hall of Horse
This feels like the start of a parody analog horror video that will still scare me
Thanks for the Sale , Horse
You're welcome, Human!
Mad props for deliberately fucking up the audio all over the place and somehow not making it the worst thing ever.
That takes some serious skill.
God I love Mandalore’s humor
When you hire Mandy but Sseth shows up for the PR.
The last time I'd heard Mandalore talk about a horse is when one farted so bad it made a dog throw up.

Oh, that's not a VHS Filter, they actually shot on VHS. He references this in his Aliens Isolation review a year ago.

Is this what happens when Mandy and Brendaniel drink the society Brew ?...
...Let them drink more .
This is like when Christopher Nolan let Heath Ledger direct those segments in the Dark Knight. But somehow more terrifying.
I was not expecting this showcase to be a youtube poop recorded on a cursed vcr. Excellent work.
I'm convinced that Hooded Horse is run by Mandy's split personality(which is just him in a horse helmet) ala Tyler Durden from Fight Club.
In one hand a horse headed game developer, the other an African warlord
Sseth got back into corporate work
No, you have one mistake here. This was always Mandy's TRUE form.
Sseth's a normal person who mastered acting crazy, Mandy on the other hand is an insane individual who had to learn how to act normal.
Bender talking in CN recorded by a camcorder was simply elite
The snippet from the mail at 13:27 pretty much sums up the video
It's a tug of war as his editing adds in, "No fun allowed" when they show concern
From the director of viper's hit video clip for "I sell A1 Crack cocaine", comes another cinematic masterpiece
13:42 GOD DAMNIT BRENDAN ENOUGH WITH THE BIG AND ROUND
I will buy all of these games just because brendaniel and mandalore told me to.
This is marketing perfected.
I am so in love with Mandalore's work on this lmao.
Horses for courses, Mandy, horses for courses
Went looking for a mandalore video, found multiple games that I'll be getting over the weekend
😂 I can only imagine the reaction somebody who's never seen a Mandalore video or anything slightly adjacent to his wheelhouse would have seeing this.
What mandalore video is like this
@@dazerrazer3018 Wrath of The Druids or any other adventure game he did a video on also some of his earlier videos.

Mandy never fully recovered from that visit to the museum of illusions huh?
HAKITA WAS APART OF THIS PRODUCTION??
This has convinced me to get all of the Hooded Horse games from here on out. Merci, Mandalore.
This shit looks like a ssethtzeentach setup.
Love it
Ahh yes, no fever dream delusional nightmare is complete without a Brendaniel cameo.
Why am I not surprised that Brendaniel is part of this.
It’s been forever since I’ve seen a bit this weird with this aesthetic done at this level of quality. Every “mic” joke alone had me rolling.
Also so happy to finally be able to play Breachway!
Weird, I have suddenly the urge to buy the hooded horse publisher bundle.
I will now buy your games
I'm glad Mandy's back to working with horses again
I don't really know what I just watched but I was enthralled. Learning Mandalore has played Empires of the Undergrowth makes me smile, and he's right about Against the Storm. That game can take over your life.
HE HIT US WITH THE BIG AND ROUND
I really want to buy every hooded horse game, even the ones you haven't yet published
Definitely more unhinged than the usual Mandy content unless it's Colony Ship for Sale: Cheap
