thanks Twitch, your patented "Changing our rules to delete your vods without telling you" technology strikes again. appreciate the vod dump all the same, I need something to get me through my workday just playing in the background and your archive channel is the perfect thing for that.
15:34 I remember hearing somewhere that Zeratul and the Matriarch are two of the very few DTs with clear memories of Aiur from before their civil war and subsequent banishment. So yes, he was born on Aiur.
Yeah, so maybe there has been some cultural drift in all that time. Look at Old or even Middle English, it's almost incomprehensible sometimes to us now, and that evolved over a similar time frame.
@@flibbernodgets7018 The invention of a dictionary helped avoid a lor of drift, but that's less than 500 years. Even Shakespeare sounds weird and he was born in 1582. I imagine the Khala would help avoid drift, since it preserves the minds of anyone who dies with it, but maybe that means the DTs, having severed their connection, would've experienced the natural drift from being cut off from the collective.
@@bluesbest1 Well toss are also way more long-lived, easily reaching into the hundreds of years naturally, so to them it'd probably be like someone from like 1910 talking to you.
The way you played the final mission was impressive. 4 Zealots against a lot more Infested Terrans doesn't sound like a winnable matchup, but you pulled through!
The entire final mission of this segment is a massive thrill, but holy fuck the last like 10 minutes were intense af. I am absolutely in awe that you accomplished that.
The virgin Hydralisk - haaaaaaa! - *squirts acid prickles* - 75 minerals + 25 gas Vs The Chad Zealot - "My life for Aijur" - *twin lightsabers* - 100 minerals
"I might think about drinking Dragoon goop" As StarCraft 1 was originally meant to be a Warhammer 40k game, the idea of the Dragoon is taken from Eldar inspiration (since the Protoss are modelled after them) and The Dreadnought from The Imperium of Man. The Dreadnought is a HEAVILY injured legendary Space Marine who was too cool to let die, so they're rescued from battle and placed in a Sarcophagus that is then pumped full of "Amniotic Fluid" (The same stuff you breathe/drank when you were an unborn baby). Then the Sarcophagus is locked into a "Dreadnought" Frame where they will remain for all eternity or 'til death. Since the Immortal is based on The Dragoon, which is based off The Dreadnought, and you can see in both of their Unit Animation Windows that they're surrounded by liquid... Grant, you can, indeed, drink Dragoon Goop and it's probably good for you.
I totally forgot about these early protoss missions. I literally no memory of it. I have a solid recollection of the zerg and terran campaigns and even the brood war campaign, but not the protoss campaign; except for the last one. Best team up ever!
SC early toss missions are _super_ weird. Terran and Zerg spend a good amount of time teaching the player core concepts. Terran is obviously the introduction to how all of Starcraft is supposed to work, and then Zerg is teaching the player that the races share some similarities but are overall very, very different. Then Toss comes along and basically says "You know how workers, factories, supply, and research works, so we're not going to drill that stuff into you... but we also need to take things kind of slow just in case. So here are some kind of oddball missions, just do whatever until you figure this shit out and the real campaign starts."
2:04:10 - hrrm, I wonder if the zerg AI shares vision with the rescuable terrans? I noticed that time you had your zealots relatively close to the terrans, not sure about the previous times. Also, hallucinations can't unlock doors because they don't exist. The rule for hallucinations interacting with locations is that they don't exist for purposes of triggers that go "Does Unit X exist in Location 1?", but they work for triggers that go "Move Location 1 to wherever Unit X is" (if there's more than one of unit X, it picks the one furthest to the left). Whether this was intentional design or a bug, I have no idea.
Protoss still have a "Mass Recall". The Arbiter can teleport units to it's location. Get 2 Arbiters. Leave one in your base, send the other to the enemy. Teleport your army to the enemy base and if they drop low teleport them out with the Arbiter left in the base. Especially nice with shield heavy units like Archons since they can recharge their shields at the shield battery and get teleported back right into the fight. But yea. Of course won't work with this Zealot only run.
Regarding Warcraft 1: rush Summoners and spam Demons/Water Elementals to win; Orcs raise temporary skeletons while humans can actually heal; knights are footmen, except better; the roads do nothing; catapults are scary; archers kinda suck; and yes, the gold mine placements are terrible.
Grant: Which Cerebrate is this one? I always forget. "Into The Flames" Cerebrate is named Gorn. His brood is named Baelrog. Gorn as a Cerebrate was considered unhinged and nearly feral, barely able to be commanded and directed. As a result, the Baelrog Brood were equally demented and savage even in comparison to other nearby Zerg from other Cerebrates. Him and his Brood made other Cerebrates feel uneasy by mere presence alone. On the field, Gorn's Brood engaged in frequent cannibalism and would randomly attack other Cerebrates' forces and their own. Often times the Overmind would let loose Gorn to do as he pleased and just hoped for the best, which usually accomplished the goal. But on rare occasion the Overmind could wrangle him into following orders. When under direct supervision of The Overmind, Gorn's Brood would engage in constant terror-tactics that saw frequent use of burrowing and ambushes, as well as the hunting down of weak or unarmed targets. It is noted that even Terrans could tell the difference between Gorn's Brood and other Cerebrates' swarms, and would actively flee, derelict or betray allies to escape when they may otherwise stand and fight. Each Brood is named after a mythological monster from religions or common mythos, all except Gorn's Brood, who is named after a more modern media, Lord of The Rings and it's Balrog. It was deliberately and aptly named, as the Balrog is an ancient primal Demon constructed purely from shadow, fire and hatred.
yea.... stupid twitch :P why I was telling Jay it wasn't necessarily great advice to see your side of War 3 on Twitch VOD's. Though I think there are some ways to keep them permanent? When I was streaming some just for the funz of trying it out (not talking, just to record gameplay), my stuff is still up in my past broadcast from 4+ years ago, not sure why?
So is there any problem with the footage, other than no facecam? Is there a lower visual or audio quality? Because If not, then saying that this series wouldn't be entertaining, compared to the others, only because this has no facecam, is seriously overhyping the extremely little value that facecams may bring.
It just feels really really weird to dump everything at once, effectively say that the footage is not worth watching, and it's only because there isn't a small head in the corner that slightly wiggles around and that you stop noticing or looking at 95% of the video.
I don't think it's fair to call it "extremely little value" even if it isn't the biggest deal, secondarily we also don't see chat (which is sometimes intended to be on screen). I'm not saying it's not worth watching, I'm watching it, but it's very dismissive to describe facecam so flippantly as, "a small head in the corner that slightly wiggles around and that you stop noticing or looking at 95% of the video"
@@Kai-K What does fairness matter to my opinion on facecams? I find facecams to be actively obstructive and dislike them, and I'm allowed to have that opinion color my words. My point and question remains the same: Of all the elements of a video, the facecam is by far the least important, and proverbially dumping the content out because of it is a very weird choice. Also Twitch chat isn't included in at least most of GG's videoes, so I'm not sure where you're getting that from.
@@Burred11 But I like seeing Grant’s reaction too. It adds a little extra. Though, I am in agreement, that it’s not that big of a deal, however, I don’t think that’s what Grant was talking about at all. It seemed pretty clear the biggest issue to him is that the videos weren’t broken up into episodic videos like he usually does. I’m guessing he’s worried some viewers might not be interested in a 2 hour version of one of his videos and prefer bite size ones where they can pick and choose as well. Personally, I actually prefer it this way, just because I like long-form more but whatever.
@@JustADerpfisk If he had gotten his footage from his own recordings or by downloaded his VODs, he would still need to personally splice the footage up into episodes. It's not like his VOD's comes pre-spliced with magically added intros and outros. If his issue was that they weren't split up into episodic slices, it's because he chose to not do that.
If you haven't, already, you should really have Ace on stream, sometime. He seems to be so pivotal to making this shit happen behind the scenes, I'd like to hear his input on how you pull this stuff off.
When you said "just gameplay footage" I was concerned you meant without your live reaction voice, which I think is the most important part for the entertainment value of these. Yes, your expressions add a lot of value, but this is far from "not entertaining".
47:59 I love this discussion, and I relate to going to great lengths to get games but in my case it was because they weren’t really on shelves anymore. Back in the day (probably a decade or so after they came out, I guess), I ended up getting discs for wc 1, 2 and the expansion among a handful of other games at a secondhand auction thing. My PC still ran on windows 98 at the time. Those times were great 🥲
Alarak: "How did you lose Aiur to these creatures? Did they leap up and chew your starships?"
Grant: "We didn't use starships..."
Every time there's starting units: "I'm sorry venerable dragoon, but the executor is doing a challenge run"
thanks Twitch, your patented "Changing our rules to delete your vods without telling you" technology strikes again.

Sorry it's 360p. HD has been stuck processing for like four hours now and I seriously need to go to sleep.
1080p will hopefully be working soon!
new archives video drops, i am happy; quality be damned, i will watch it
also it's sc1, 360p is basically hd anyways
We're all watching on 3" mobile displays, it all looks the same anyways 🤣
Seems to be fine now
15:34 I remember hearing somewhere that Zeratul and the Matriarch are two of the very few DTs with clear memories of Aiur from before their civil war and subsequent banishment. So yes, he was born on Aiur.
He really shouldn't since he's only 600 something years old and the dark templar exodus was 1000 years before the events of the games
I question the use of "clear memories" in that sentence. :p
Yeah, so maybe there has been some cultural drift in all that time. Look at Old or even Middle English, it's almost incomprehensible sometimes to us now, and that evolved over a similar time frame.

Can confirm: dragoons taste like that weird blue ice cream no one understands the flavor of
You mean the frozen smurfs meat?
I was pretty sure that was just blue curacao jelly inside them, which also explains their rather chaotic movement: they're just always a bit drunk
Mountain Dew Voltage
Cotton Candy and/or Bubblegum.
Cotton candy?
The way you played the final mission was impressive. 4 Zealots against a lot more Infested Terrans doesn't sound like a winnable matchup, but you pulled through!
Just came by to applaud the thumbnail. It took me a second, but it's amazing.
The strategies shown for missions 4,5, and 6 are amazing. This run is gold so far.
The entire final mission of this segment is a massive thrill, but holy fuck the last like 10 minutes were intense af. I am absolutely in awe that you accomplished that.

Thank you! Been waiting for this
SC1 is my absolute favourite
the dankness of this video is ridiculous lol
I applaud your efforts on doing that mission with only zealots! Way to go, Bro!!!!
1:10:05 That's the most "Trademarked AI" move I've seen in a long while xD

hahaha Tassadar having one kill has to make it into the video x3
God doing that 6th mission was difficult enough as it is but zealots only would piss me off to no end
Rescuing Zeratul is the new Train level
I totally forgot about these early protoss missions. I literally no memory of it. I have a solid recollection of the zerg and terran campaigns and even the brood war campaign, but not the protoss campaign; except for the last one. Best team up ever!

"You don't need to watch this"
Not 2 minutes in we get "I'd drink dragoon goop"
That's a hell of a last mission

Why I'm not suprised that "Into the Darkness" mission was very stressful and frustraiting.
Still chuckling at the thumbnail half an hour later.
It might be more efficient to free up supply by killing your own units, but it’s not the code of Batman.
Not to be confused with long zealots
there you have an idea!!! Dragoons (equivalent) only!! (Perhaps a deathless added?)
Dragoons just taste like blue. Some indistinct flavor, but always blue.
Yay thank you Grant
I actually prefer the cam-less version!
Hallu can't turn on trigger but they can rescue troops. The answer to the trick was to use Zealot to open doors and then rescue templars with hallu.

53:00 I was told there were 3!

Huh. In all my years of playing this, I never noticed that you can set rally points with under-construction structures
I like this format more than short videos UA-cam like so much unfortunately
YES
YES
YES
where is that guy that asked for Zealots Only SC1 on Archives
Okay i found out that music is here, just its pretty low. And also i want to see Draguns only. I just love draguns, they so silly and cute.
So weird not having the face cam
