Corridor no homo but I’d be down to watch
Gus! I love your videos!
That Machinima mug tho... RIP
I was thinking the same thing
WOAH, I didn't even realize how recent this was. I just thought they were just forgotten about, but they just shut down a couple days ago.
All those early UA-cam memories and Machinima freakout videos.. RIP..

Thank you for this!
Not all heros wear capes
The real MVP
Appreciate this. I nearly exited this video
hat tip to you sir
I’d kinda like to see a Freddie and Brandon reunion on this podcast
I'd cry everytime
Not sure of how harmonious/not awkward it'd be
Or any podcast... even the story break podcast freddie does is noice...
Are Freddie and Brandon not friends anymore? I haven't really gotten that vibe. Sure they parted ways professionally since they are now doing different things, but I've never seen them speak I'll of the other.
lordkandar They don’t speak ill of each other. Both of them have chalked it up to creative differences and said that they still get along as friends perfectly well, but I think people assume they’re on bad terms because Freddie and Brandon seem to have not interacted or done anything with one another in the many years since they split.
I love how this became Freddie Wong interviewing Sam and Niko lol
“34 minutes” on exactly 34:00...
I see you corridor, I see you
EVPro they probably have a screen with the time somewhere there and he picked it as an example from there
Lmaooo wow
On the dot.

Top comment DESERVED.
@@sdawddwtrtr2305 What does that even mean? how would that even... and now I'm thinking of a shovel. Great, what am I going to do with an imaginary shovel! Why do you have so many shovels!?
Freddie is a great podcast guest. He knows the different between a podcast and an interview. When they ask a question, he will answer it, then throw it back. He asks questions, this is a proper conversation. You can really tell these guys go way back.
Niko's intro got me so pumped for the podcast. VGHS Season 4 biggest rocket jump meme
at least they went a number higher than valve
@@capkenway Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Man Freddie hijacked the podcast in the best way, he asked more questions than Sam and Niko, I love it!
OK, after last week we really need to get the perfect guest, the tipiest of the topiest, the ultimate meme lord... FREDDIE!
Node videos when Freddie was still playing with Brandon, Sam, and Niko are some of my favorite videos on the whole website. Love you guys.
I remember watching Freddiew and Corridor Digital videos in highschool thinking Damn those look nice. Which made me want to learn about VFX, which made me go to film school and now so many years later I recently got my first Lead Compositor job working at a major VFX studio on Hollywood blockbusters. All because some Asian guy and two dudes from Minnesota liked guns. It's great to hear you guys talk together like this, you were and still are my idols.
Also, you mention clockblockers, arguably the one short you did that really-really got me into corridor content. Can we get a sequel now so many years later with all the new stuff you've learned and skills attained?! would be epic!
Thank you for this! Just need D now
Its so weird watching this and thinking about how long ive been watching and what has changed. Ive been watching since the og freddiew days when the rocket jump video came out was my first. That was so many years ago, you guys have changed so much over the years. I couldnt stop watching this keep it up all three of you guys freddie your the best ill watch everything you put out and same to you sam and niko love you guys
Wow Freddie really drive this podcast. He was his own host and guest.
Freddie is just on another level in a lot of ways lol
'I don't bet on horses, I ride them' LMAOO
When talking about Corridor Videos, it's the Skyrim one that first comes into mind. And when talking about the FreddieW character, it's him from the Katamari and the Jedi A-holes videos. I am old in the internet.
For the record, I loved VGHS. It was fantastic, and I loved every second of it.
VGHS was amazing! Just rewatched it and it holds up. Love that show
As a longtime Corridor/FreddieW/Node fan, this podcast was so nostalgic for me. Thank you guys.
These 3 guys are some of the founding fathers of polished youtube content and this video has a measly
This is still one of my favorite Corridor Cast episodes, to date. Freddie Wong's laugh is so absolutely wholesome and contagious, I can't get enough of it. His laugh will brighten even my darkest of days. ♡
VGHS was awesome. I shared that serious with everyone it was something that represented me and a lot of things that I truly liked it understood.
My favorite busker was a violinist. I listened to them in Seattle. After I got
Out of Phantom of the Opera, they played the music from the show.
That's smart of them
"I don't bet on horses, I ride them." hahahaha
Freddie has such an eloquent structure to his thoughts. He ties in all the small details and keeps them connected to the topic, while connecting several topics cohesively. So much good information from these podcasts 🧠🤯
when Freddie said that youtube has solidified as a personality cult medium it really struck a nerve with me. i've sort of grown up with youtube and i guess thats why, but thats also why i feel that as of late theres no content on youtube, like the last year or two.
Giraffozilla yep. Nothing but vloggers and influencers getting the real views. Sign of the times.
Any long form content that takes more than double the time to edit than air is not economically viable. They adjusted the pay outs a few times and the only viable content is either cultural phenomenons like hot ones or talking heads or something kids like.
im late but freddie really puts into words and articulate a lot of things I've been thinking about, especially how the landscape of youtube has changed so much in a way to a consumable, "fast-food"-esque production line. Quality content takes longer to make, and the payout is just not enough for it to be sustainable unfortunately, because the majority of youtube's audience (going by how content is catered for) is younger teens/kids. I'm just barely on the edge of that audience and millenials (who absolutely hate the former), and so I can kinda see both sides of the coin here. A lot of the content I watch is reviews, animations, vfx videos, documentaries, video essays, that kinda stuff. And just a trip through my favourites over the last couple years (when I was transitioning from the young teen to young adult) can tell you how my preferences have changed from comedy skits and spontaneous stream highlight moments to worked content that takes time to produce. I moved out of the primary audience by growing up a little, and I can see exactly what they mean now. Maybe there could be a way for people to educate appreciation of arts/craftsmanship (and thats not limited to literal "arts" and creative stuff, but other things too), but that's just wishful thinking
"I don't bet on horses. I ride them." absolutely killed me. Hahaha. That's such a good line. Also the whole "Tac2cool Reloads" plot sounds amazing. xD
Can you guys reduce the "whoosh" transition sound volume by 5%, then increase the people's voice volume by 5%? Just a QoL request for us Spotify listeners, thank you 😊
Use a real podcast app with volume normalization lol
i remember the old days of UA-cam, freddie, brandon and then you guys, feels like ages ago. UA-cam is so different now, the content is so different, and the youtubers themselves are freakin' famous! Good and bad at the same time, I guess. Nice seeing you guys together again.
UA-cam personalities are famous in a bubble. Other than one or two people, we'd probably have a different list of people that we'd see as famous.
Im so with freddie on that memory skill rant.
I don’t know if it’s because I grew up watching him but listening to Freddie W talk is like listening to an old friend. It’s just very familiar, very cozy almost.
Incredibly insightful and inspiring. Good too see Freddie!
THANK YOU FREDDIE! Shaw did kill Han and now he’s friends with everyone?? Fast and Furious breaks the laws of physics on a regular basis but the one thing that was most unbelievable was Shaw becoming friends with everyone.
Idk if its just me, but seeing Sam like lowkey tired and exhausted is pretty sad. Hard working and family man. Big up
Love seeing you guys all together, great podcast!
This was an amazing episode. Great work guys really enjoyed it!
Love the podcast! It was a great one and the flow was amazing, great transitions and awesome topics!
VGHS was my childhood, Id love a full pod about it.
A year alter and this still hits! Thank you guys for doing this!
Love you guys. Thanks for all the interesting talks. Have been a fan since Frozen Crossing, and my foundation of video was learned through you guys and freddiew's tutorials. Grateful for what you guys have brought, and really enjoy hearing this long form content.
Best podcast so far! Brings back old memories.
This is the podcast I've been waiting for! You guys are like the historians of internet storytelling. Thanks for this!
I think the biggest thing that youtube can't shake is that the 4th Wall is either very thin or completely non-existent. Even Corridor's main videos, which usually don't break it; there's still a sense of "Look at this cool video we made" because youtube just has that interpersonal air about it. It's almost like if you were close friends with Steven Spielberg and he personally showed you a short video he just made.
Love these videos fr. Especially with people I like. Makes it so enjoyable :)
59:50 Freddie talks about season 4 VGHS
freddiew was one of the first channels I ever watched along with protonjon, what a time ago its been. really great, insightful podcast! not often i listen to podcasts, will be binging these for sure
Omg I lost it at the end with the brainstorm of ideas, it was so good
You can tell how openly passionate Freddie is about his works and what he used to make. I love this dude and his legacy.
Love the podcast guys. Keep em coming 😁
It's good to hear that the rocket jump channel isn't just gone and it's cool to hear his goal for what it's moving towards, a more narrative driven (good) quality story and not shorts.
Interesting listen.
This is great entertaining when you're sick... thanks
lol Bronchitis?
Didn't realize you guys had a podcast! Used to be a big fan back in the 'golden days', glad to be back.
Loved this episode , I also searched for the d&d podcast Freddie mentioned and it's hilarious xD . Hope the make more of it .
VGHS is my favorite video game themed series. Thank you
58:53 Marathon 2 - first person shooter by Bungie for the Macintosh. 1995. Had King of the Hill. Still play it today, from time to time.
The very first king of the hill game mode that I played was in Joint Operations: Typhoon Rising way back in the day. It was very similar to the way that Arma's version plays in the sense that you would use vehicles to get to the combat zone.
Another great interview and very interesting! At about an hour the conversation gets to career first with why no VGHS season 4 (quick shoutout VGHS was awesome and was a great exploration of narrative storytelling and you guys did great with it Freddie) and then what challenges he faces now. He talks at length about context and how his career could be different. Not sure if this counts for much as I am a nobody, but you guys are all amazing. You are amazing filmmakers. You have made interesting, entertaining, and in some cases profound content. You are proven entities and any person would be lucky to have you guys directing their movies or shows.
U 3 n Brandon are the reason i got into vfx
this has been an awesome pod
Freddie is one of the the grand fathers of UA-cam even more than peediepie and all other great creators and made best videos on this platform
that was a good one. Really liked the end
Freddie! VGHS would be AMAZING! Not perfect, of course, but it was such a fun experience and so cool to see so much of what we wanted out of life!
On the point of mods in video games. Two of my most fondest memories of Minecraft were Hunger Games online games, and Civilization online mod. Imagine Playing CIV, except you are the worker, the bowman and the ruler of the CIV, and all of the rest of the workers and bowmen in your CIV were other players you met in the game. Holy shit that was so fun on a server that hosted more than 500 players at a time. Our CIV had more than 30 active players on it, who all talked on Teamspeak. The game lasted for about two months, and our CIV ended up concurring the entire server. Good times, good times. I would definitely play this again if the servers were still up, or if someone made an actual game based on this idea, similar to what Pubg is to Arma.
Joonas Halpin dude Hunger Games online were the shit. Me and my buddy played hours of this. Wayy before pubg or any of that 😂
Great to see the podcast buddy guests coming full circle with Freddie coming on. Still waiting on that clip of Niko dropping his drumstick from all those years ago lol
Man seeing these guys talk about the old days reminds me of GakAttack. Dang I miss that guy.
Freddie is super charismatic, damn
dude i literally write about you in an essay about a person that inspired me back when i was in Elementary School .
Your vids are epic and Corridor is my fave channel
I feel what Sam was saying about not shooting people in multiplayer shooters. It seems weird to me that shooting someone is usually more valued than avoiding contact. I was sad to discover the "run-through" state in Tarkov. The only game I've played where explicitly not engaging the enemy can be beneficial is in Squad where flag captures are immensely more important than kills. Back in Arma's Battle Royale, most of my matches were me avoiding the enemy and judging the terrain to remain undetected within each circle, only engaging other players when I absolutely had to.
Haha I love your new tactical reload video idea!
VGHS is the only series I watched like 4 times.
I think often independent webseries are great, but I agree that most of the times nobody cares.
Spot on with the Nolan impression.
Corridor x Nigahiga Podcast
Bro i completely forgot about him, he was a big hit back in the day
still the best podcast ever !!!!!
That gave me a laugh. Awesome stuff! ;D
Freddie is so on point about the middle ground of Hollywood nd how it's either 9 figure big-budget franchises, or barely 7 figure low budget stuff. Without that midle ground where studios were willing to take chances and give these great artists the ability to produce their ideas, there'd be no Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Terminator, Predator, Taxi Driver, Fight Club, and so on. And now with Disney buying up all these properties so that can give all these old franchises THEIR take on it (safe/no risk taking, along with the original tone being lost) is going to be the death of Hollywood IMO.
King of the Hill was a game mode in Marathon 2: Durandal in 1995. I don't know if it's the earliest appearance of KotH, but it's the earliest that I'm aware of.
thebigitchy Still better than destiny
Underrated cast
It was such a good feeling hearing freddie say the og comic artist was Bill Watterson, that was my childhood
Yo! Have you ever thought about having these podcasts in a public setting of sorts? Kinda like a talkshow or something? Like, have a live audience listen to you guys chat with each other and even maybe a Q&A session? Even if you don't have a huge crowd, you're still satisfying the goal of having a wholesome podcast.
If you pull this off, just set a date and location, and fans closeby can drop by and stuff. I'd love to see that. :D
Once the podcast has proven successful and sustainable, which we're quite optimistic about with how it's going in the first few months so far, then a Live Cast would definitely be fun!
But that's a whole other beast. I grew up in theatre and have worked live events professionally for years and a lot more goes into it for a polished product. Still, it's not outside the realm of possibility for the future.

WOW, I CLICKED RIGHT AS IT WAS POSTED. EXCITED
Little feedback.
How awesome would it be that in the description you have a timeline of topics.
For example if I wanted to hear something just on VGHS. I can go to the description, find a (time).
I second this
Like an index. Like how Hardware Unboxed does theirs.
Yes PKA already does this. But they do 4 hour podcasts
I miss you Freddie!!
Interesting. Great to see Freddy W be on here! Also, not even one dislike.
Oh my god the machinima mug
Today is the first day that I watch the podcast mainly because of Freddy. I actually prefer the Corridor Crew videos over their actual content.
But I just watched the first episode of Rush and man that was wild!!!
I probably should support them on Patreon. So amazing what you guys can do!
Love the Machinima cup!
Clockblockers rocked and stands the test of time
Sam, you missed the perfect opportunity to plug your book with the "What would you do on a desert island?" question
Bike Hero on EXPERT is still one of my favorite things that exist on the internet.
Speaking of all time classics, Flower Warfare is still one of mine
EFT is prob hands down one of the best FPSs just for the in-depth weapons and variety of tactics (either valuing your life or not).
58:33 The first King of the Hill game type was probably a playground in 1800s: I first played it IRL with my friends on top of the snow pile.
Guys the audio volume it is super low. Could you please raise it up for next podcast? I have to crank up the volume to the max, and I feel that the audio is lower to other youtube video media.
