Have you played all of the Castlevania games?
I only played and have is SOTN...
My favorite one out of all of them.
I have played the Castlevania games that contribute to the main timeline + Circle of The Moon.
I've played all of the NES, SNES, genesis, playstation, and the ds games.
Not all, most of them anyways
Yup all of them.
I bet no Belmont had to travel to Egypt with his grandfather, a fortune teller, his school mate, a French man and a dog to punch Dracula in the face multiple times.
Nah, that was the offspring bloodline of the Joestars in a fated fight against a vampire, its source and original creators completely unrelated to Dracula.
And in the knee once.

“Transylvania is for the Belmonts!”
@Nathaniel Harrison Chong wait... Is Dracula a hamon user?
"Ugh, another one of those Belmonts. I hate those guys."
-Dracula, whenever a Belmont enters his castle
The battle has constipated
Terminal montage?
couldn't he make his castle float and fly mad high or outerspace lol
Even his own son.
@@ericx6969 Maybe. But do you want to get out of your coffin one night as your castle takes lift off only to see some jackoff riding a rocket at you while swinging a whip?
damn can dracula just say no to being resurrected
Aokiji actually he can't. Igarashi answered this in an interview, that when the mortal part of Dracula's soul refuses to be brought back, the evil part of him reincarnates with no humanity. SotN is the last time his humanity shows itself in the timeline.
Doom Slayer He quotes the Bible ( Mathias rejected God before 1100, yet he's quoting the bible 700 years later. ) and shows humanity towards Lisa and Alucard. It's part of the narrative, it doesn't matter what ending you get unless you don't complete the inverted castle.
no.
J.M ive played it like 20 yrs ago and i still remember. i don’t think i’ll ever forget. matthew 16:26
i mean,we saw what happened to soma lol. "no" is not exactly an option
Belmont's bizarre adventure
But the latest Belmont Saga protagonist was the Brando..
@@zapperil and that is why symphony of the night protagonist is also tepes AKA alucard 😆
Love for Elizabeta turns Mathias into Dracula --> Love for Lisa is the reason Dracula makes war upon humanity --> Love for Mina keeps Soma from becoming Dracula again.
Power of Love, y'all.
"love is one hell of a drug"
Not gonna lie that sounds like it chould be the plot for the next Castlevania game... Now Konami has to get off there ass and slow down on makeing pachinko machines and make real video games
This is like jojo but 1000 years and no weird lightning karate and punchy ghosts
Soma can get a soul that is a legless punching ghost that shouts Ora Ora in Aria of Sorrow.
Also, in Dawn of Sorrow, Soma fights a vampire that throws knives and grants the ability to stop time when defeated.

That One Annoying Pub Player haha made my day thank you!!!
For real Simon and Richtor look like JoJo characters in Smash lmao
KO NO DIO DA!
Great Castlevania timeline vid. There was only a few errors I found.
After Alucard defeated Dracula in symphony of the night, the vampire killer whip rejected Richter Belmont and, in extension, the Belmont bloodline because Richter’s soul was tainted when Shaft possessed him. This severed the connection between the vampire killer and the Belmonts. Jonathan Morris in Portrait of Ruin thus had to fight the whip’s memory of Richter, which unlocked the whip’s true potential and allowed the Belmont clan to hold the whip once more.
Oh and Alucard didn’t go back to sleep for another hundreds of years. Maria was able to convince Alucard to stay awake and watch over humanity when the time humanity needed him most, which was the prophecy of the Demon Castle War in 1999 and thus after. Alucard has been secretly building his organization to stop Dracula once and for all this whole time since.
Also, the Morris clan didn’t disappear. Once Jonathan found Julius, the last of the Belmont clan at the time, he trained him under his wing until he was able to master the vampire killer. Jonathan Morris thus lived a long, fulfilled life and didn’t disappear nor he or his clan had a tragic fate.
I have to disagree on couple of things.
The reason why Richter gave away the whip to the Morris Clan was because he was ashamed of what happened to him in Symphony of the Night. He used the Vampire Killer one year after the game.
The reason why Jonathan Morris fought the whips memory was because he couldn't access the power of the whip as he wasn't a Belmont. He had to fight the whips memory because it wouldn't work for anyone else but the Belmonts. Eric Lacarde or rather 'Wind' states this after his daughters were nearly turned into vampires and his identity was revealed as being the friend of John Morris, who is the protagonist of Bloodlines and is the father of the protagonist in Portrait of Ruin. John went through the process as Jonathan but died early as the wounds he gained from Dracula didn't heal properly as the whip essentially took part of his life in order to allow access to its power. The daughters of Eric ,also, state not to overuse the whip.
While the reason of why Richter and the clan vanishing has never been stated, it is implied to be that they found about the resurrection of Dracula and the presence of a solar eclipse in 1999 so it is likely they were getting ready to defeat Dracula once and for all
All of this information (Belmonts rejected by the whip because of the curse, Jonathan "unlocks the whip for the Belmonts", Alucard builds organization, Jonathan trained Julius) is headcanon. None of it is actually official, and some of it (Jonathan "undoing the whip's curse") actually contradicts official information.
@@Ash90 you got it rong because Rickter could not use the whip because of the his soul lost the power to control the whip because of him being possessed it was stated that way many times in the games and the guides books next time do some more research.:-)
Ben Nelson
Provide a source of official material. Richter uses the whip after the events of Symphony of the Night
Plot Twist Plottwist, you beat me here by 9 hours (it's Zangetsu)
Remember that time a japanese highschooler had to team up with his classmate, a stilish european from a long line of vampire hunting, a villain turned good and a mystic?
No, not *that* time. The time the highschooler turned out to be Dracula's reencarnation.
You thought dracula was the lord of darkness but it was me dio
*Que golden wind*
MUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!
“He rejects his humanity”
The games actually explain why the Belmonts stop using the vampire killer . The same prophecy that predicted the battle of 1999 also said that they weren't allowed to touch the whip until said battle took place. Which is why they gave it to the Morris clan as they were distant relatives/descendants of the Belmonts.
Yep. Belmont cousins.
Also I believe it was said Richter's mind control tainted the whip and the belmont clan could not use it correctly
Hakumen_Narukami morning l
Cake# That's correct, too. But when Jonathan defeated Dracula, he lifted the curse on the tainted whip and unlike his father, it didn't kill him when he used it.
Jonathan then tracked down the Belmonts and returned the whip to them, and eventually it was passed to Julius.

Makes sense its an anime now
i mean,it is an interessting place in the timeline to be at. a world where drac is gone. i dont know why his soul decided to yeet into japan tho,but whatever
Well that’s unfortunate because they are wether people like it or not.
Head canon isn’t canon, there is a difference.
I don't like the anime art on DoS. Castlevania's official arts has been beautiful and unique throughout the series but now it has fallen into a boring and unremarkable anime stereotype kinda art.
I’m always first and foremost a Zelda fan so I’m quite used to game art style changes but for Castlevania I really did love most of the old artwork and a lot of Ayami Kojima’s art for Castlevania, it suited the series very well. Though I don’t think the “anime style” is totally bad, I think Yoko looks way better in Dawn than she does in Aria for example. I find Soma’s design in Aria to be better than his Dawn one, is portraits anyway, his character sprite looks pretty cool in Dawn.
just realized that alucard was dracula backwards. oh man facepalm
u and me both :)
alucard is badass
OMG.. it took me this long to figure that out
Really? You just realized?!
Alucard's just lucky that his dad's name backwards spelled something legible.
I think castlevania is the only video game series with a good number of games where the villain has been virtually the same person every time
Megaman and megaman X?
Mario
Phantasy Star (dark force)
Zelda and MARIO
Danganronpa then again it only have 3 games
He doesn't "kill" Isaac. He defeats him but stops when he realizes that his intent and anger are the result of Dracula's curse.
They treat my boy Hector so bad in the anime.
He didn’t deserve the ending he got :(
@@evevie3264 it didn't end yet
Joao Machado well true but the current ending of season 2 was a large oof for hector, hopefully season 3 will fix things lol
@@evevie3264 If season 3 tells the Curse of Darkness story, shit's goin' down!
Yeah, they turned him into a lame necromancer wimp. 😒
I just finished Curse of Darkness and Hector was a badass in it. WTF was the writer for the show thinking??? 🧐
Quincy Morris is actually a character from Bram Stoker's Dracula novel. It's cool how the Castlevania series ties into the actual book
Juste is *the* fastest Belmont ever to be introduced to the franchise. He just dances oh-so gracefully through the castle with the occasional attacking, it's great
juste looks like a vampire, with his color theme red and a long hair
@@astrophel12 Dude... Juste is just Alucard with a whip. He dashy-dashes all over the place, has a flowy coat, looks dapper in it, has an afterimage, has long white hair, is good looking, and has a blonde love interest.
2:54 *"I reject my humanity Jojo!"*
Kono Matias da!!!!!!!!!!
Dracula: Kill me as many times as you want, Ill always return!!
Ganon: Hold my beer
lol
both of them are pretty notorious for that
So true!
BotW Ganon is apparently very stubborn because he’s coming back as a zombie/redead from the looks of it.
Slasher movies villains: are you sure about that.
Not in 1999. That year is where you die, Dracula.
Dracula: IM BACK!
Vampire killer: no you’re not
Dracula:NO IM NOT!
12:42 That's because Richter can no longer posses the power of the whip after his blood was tainted by Shaft's influence, incidentally doom the Belmont bloodline. The whip was passed to the Morris clan (distant relative) because they figure it out how to lift the Vampire Killer's curse.
17:01 Julius got the whip back from Johnathan Morris after the Vampire Killer's curse was lifted. As for the Morris clan they pass the torch (or in this case whip) back to the Belmont clan and continue on fighting monsters.
Richter’s Blood wasn’t tainted by his possession, because if it was, then the Belmonts would’ve lost the whip roughly 200 years prior when Soliel was actually possessed by Dracula himself. But they didn’t, because the curse was broken, much like with Maria and Alucard breaking the curse on Richter. Plus, Richter still had and used the whip with extreme proficiency a year later during the events of Castlevania: Nocturne of Recollection when the Incubus Magnus showed up and started causing problems, and he didn’t pass it off for being ashamed either, because again, in Nocturne of Recollection, he was still extremely proud of who he was and he was still proud of who his family was.
So, Rocuter giving the whip away because he was tainted by a curse is merely headcannon. Really the only thing we know about why the Belmonts passed off the Vampire Killer has something to do with the Nostradamus Prophecy, and it’s specific stipulation that the Belmonts would need to pass the reigns to somebody else so that they (the Belmonts) could prepare for the Demon Castle War (which took place in 1999).
Too bad that we never got a Castlevania of the 1999 battle. We are missing that link.
Man I played DoS and spend like an hour searching for a Julius Belmont game because I was pretty confused
@@heavenlysteel8337 IGA gad it all planned out, but Konami forced him to work on mobile games, and had to quit because he hated it.
Dracula: I REJECT MY HUMANITY! LEON!
My favorite Castlevania game has to be Aria of Sorrow. I just love the ability the player is given to control the powers of monsters and absorb monster souls in addition to all of the different kinds of other weapons Soma is able to wield in the game. Inheriting the powers of Dracula makes the game a ton of fun. I also like the fact that there are multiple ending possibilities in the game: the good ending where you destroy the castle and return to your normal life, the bad ending where you become consumed by Dracula’s power and Julius finds you on the throne ready to fight you, and the ending where you defeat Graham and return to your normal life without having destroyed the castle.
However I will say that I am also quite fond of Harmony of Dissonance, the map is complicated and large in that game and I like the idea of there being 2 castles.
Purchasing the Castlevania Double Pack that includes both of these GBA games in one game cartridge was a choice I do not regret.
"YOU NOW PROSSES DRACULA'S RIB"
14:16 Don't know if I'd say the details are non-existent. There's an entire book about it. It's called Dracula by Bram Stoker...
Lol true
Yep although certain details of the book are changed to fit Castlevania's continuity.
@@MrZangetsu468 - OR, are certain details of Castlevania changed to fit the book's continuity? Huh? Huh? >.>
yeah this is all i was thinking about through the back half of the video
Captain Steroid Actually no. Lol
Spoiler: Dracula dies
Oh NO
@@brunodimaggio9946 _Several_ times.
Spoiler :he comes back
Nooooo why you spoil 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
@@AH-qz7sf Spoiler: He dies again
14:16 I believe this is a reference to the book that technically started all this, "Dracula" by Bram Stoker as opposed to a video game. A character named Quincy Morris is part of a party led by Van Helsing to stop Dracula in 1897.
Ikr - she was all like "oh, there's no game depicting those events", well that's because it's in book form; the original Dracula by Bram Stoker.
Pretty cool how the Castlevania series is canon with the source material!
Am I the only one who liked Circle of the moon?
I mean give it some credit. It was one of the first fully featured Metroidvania games on a handheld.
It's my 3rd favorite, and the DSS cards were probably the best magic system in the series
SotN, AoS and CotM are my favourite castlevania games.
That was my first castlevania game I still love it and play it every now and then, I'm glad that at least they're using the song "Awake" from circle of the moon in smash ultimate. At least it's not forgotten
@@anthonyrodriguez164 Not only that, but one of Simon/Richter 's moves Is based on Circle of the moon.
No, the game was critically acclaimed. There was some what of a controversy in 2002 when they decided to remove it from the timeline. I can't remember the reason anymore. I like it the most of the GBA games. Music was so great.
One of my favorite eras of the Castlevania series (and one I don’t think gets enough love) is the Soma Cruz era. Such fun games and awesome characters
Yeah, but not like that. Just not anime. Castlevania should be dark, gothic and serious. They're not bad, especially gameplay, but not the best ones, especially scenario and all that...
Can we get a 3rd season in Netflix already!!!!!!
Ending of season 3 kinda...i m out of words
Narinder Singh ep 9 be like....
Jesus: revives once
Dracula: *hold my wine glass*
Dracula: actually... *tosses the glass*
Ninjadudezack that’s blasphemy
Dracula: I do not drink wine
Jesus: Seriously? I give you my blood as a way of saving you from your sins and you toss it away?
Dracula: I prefer blood...fresh human blood
Jesus: You are sick
Favorite Castlevania games:
1: Symphony of the Night
2: Curse of Darkness
3: Circle of the Moon
4: Portrait of Ruin
5: Aria of Sorrow
''Patricide... must be... exhausting'' I cracked
Ironically Dracula rejected humanity for love and in the end kept his humanity for love.
Circle of the moon is canon in my heart :,(
I dunno why CoTM is not canon, atleast Castlevania Legends and Lords of Shadows have a reason why they're non canon.
Castlevania Legends is also non-canon just because they decided that they don't want a woman Belmont. Completely ridiculous.
@@darthpaul99 actually it contradicts the Timeline way too much, because Sonia and Alucard gave a birth to Trevor, that means every Belmont after them would be connected with Dracula.
@@raiandox The team who made CoTM wanted it to in its own timeline, they never wanted it to be part of the main timeline. They say this in
Konami Magazine Vol 20, March 2001
So yeah that's why.
@@darthpaul99 Iga said it's cause the game sucks and he's ashamed of it, he also did this with the Saturn port of SotN when making the Psp port with features from there being removed, I guess it's cause he's Japanese that he apologizes that much over bad games, at least I think this is the reason.
This is the first time I've heard of the game series. I missed out on plenty games when I grew up in the 2000s.
The portrait of ruin is such an underrated game
Ikr? It was my first Castlevaina game I beat, (i always knew of the franchise but I never beat it) and it was really freaking spectacular. I'm super sad people barely talk about it
17:07 Actually Jonathan trained Julius to become a vampire hunter.
Should it be the way around? wait wrong series
Castlevania = Kill Dracula + Dracula reborn 😒
Julius Belmont solved that problem in 1999. 😎
@@gjtrue Julius = best Belmont
"I REJECT MY HUMANITY, LEON!" "WRYYYYYYYYYYYY"
I love the deadpan jokes delivered with a cheerful voice.
I have only played Aria of Sorrow (awesome game), but watching the new anime. Got curious where in the timeline Trevor & co were and if it related to an actual game or was a new concept. Turns out it was from a game. Thanks for the knowledge drop
Draculas castle has been destroyed more times than the hall of justice
It's not that Lords of Shadow isn't canon.
It's an Alernate Reboot universe.
Aye a really good entry as well, let's not speak of the 2nd game though. Lol
@Doom Slayer Mechanically perhaps, but story/game design wise? Nah.
@Doom Slayer I can definitely agree the castle bits and the Alucard DLC were the best parts, and honestly that whole series Garbriel (Dracula) is a good guy.
Dealing out death perhaps, but doing so for the sake of the greater good.
@Doom Slayer Pretty much the rest of it. lol
Doom Slayer Dracula is the good guy in AoS and DoS though, it's just his fanboys just won't stop bothering him, asking him to become the Dark Lord again even though he just wants to be a Gaijin transfer student in Japan cause he got tired of being killed again and again.
I'm here because Konami announced a Castlevania Anniversary Collection 😍
there shouldve been a castlevainia game set in 1999
with all the cheese of the 90s mixed into the dark gothic theme of the series
julies is wearing soap shoes and dracula has "GENESIS DOES" printed on the back of his cape
10/10 best castlevainia
6:52 Technically, Hector isn't a Belmont, but surely the first non-Belmont who defeats Dracula.
I know this may sound mean but the attempts at humor... were not so good.
BUT the parts that actually told the chronology were actually quite good. I know some deets were skimped but given that you don't wanna make an hour long video or a documentary series, skimping deets had to be done.
There are some issues tho around after SotN. Like what happened to the Belmont clan.
There are actually two theories iirc where: 1. Richter no longer felt he or his clan were worthy to wield the Vampire Killer after having been responsible for resurrecting Dracula., or 2. Richter's soul was tainted after being used by Shaft to resurrect Dracula and was hence was rejected by the Vampire Killer. Regardless of which of the two is more widely accepted or correct, the Vampire Killer was given to the Morris clan for safekeeping.
In response to this, Alucard remained awake this time and did not sleep again because he realized Dracula's threat was stronger than ever without the Belmonts around so after 1797, he has been working behind the scenes to find all the remaining vampire hunters around the world and to help train and fund them. I think by Aria of Sorrow, he like owns a business or an organization of some kind.
Now in the Demon Castle War, to explain why the Belmonts returned, basically and from what I can recall from the chronology, Jonathan Morris (lead of Portrait of Ruin) found Julius Belmont to finally be able to wield the Vampire Killer once more and then trained him for the upcoming war in 1999. It is said that Julius eventually became the most powerful Belmont to have ever lived and wielded the Vampire Killer. To get a good idea, he's probably the most (or second most) difficult boss in Aria of Sorrow. AND HE WAS IN HIS 50'S FOR PETE'S SAKE! You DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT wanna get into a fight with Julius.
One more minor thing, Chaos is actually the source of Dracula's soul's power but I understand if you meant that Soma, with Dracula's soul infused, now has the Chaos inside of him. It's a matter of semantics, really.
Loving the timeline series, guys! Outstanding work.
I think is worth mentioning that in Portrait of Ruin Jonathan is a member of the Morris family and Charlotte a direct descendant of Sypha, and we all know Sypha was a powerhouse.
I don't remember that being mentioned directly, but she is a learned student of magic from a similar school. Yoko from the Sorrow games fights more like a Belnades should.
Not only is this video informative, but it is also incredibly funny. Excellent voice work and writing. I will definitely be coming back for more!
Only games I've played were Lament of innocence and Symphony of the night. Though I have always been a huge fan of the series where I would full on absorb lore about it.
I played Castlevania 64, a few of the early ones, and Lament of Innocence, which IMO was a very sold game for it's time though a bit confusing for young me lol
Damn poor dracula he just wanted a peaceful sleep😞
simon is my 3rd favorite smash bros chaRICHTER
We don't know if the "good" ending of Dawn of Sorrow is the real ending.
The series could have ended with Soma corrupted and continuing with the Julius mode.
If symphony of the night was a part of the Netflix series
Alucard: how the new Belmont
Richter is cursed
Alucard: for fucks sake even that idiot Trevor didn’t fuck up this hard
Now if Aria of Sorrow is animated next
Alucard : "Father , why have you become a Japanese kid ?"
Soma : "Who the hell are you ?"
14:11: I know there is no game for this part, but the fact that Quincy Morris defeats Dracula definitely connects Castlevania with the original Bram Stoker story. The game makers actually say that Bram Stoker's Dracula is actual canon in the timeline. Perhaps this is when it took place! (Edit) - I just read the description in the video, and it matches almost perfectly with what happened to Quincy Morris and Dracula!
Dracula: *breath*
Belmont: I'm about to end your career, revive yours again and ending it again
Nice Reference at 7:45 “100 years is a mere blink in the life of an elf, I am patient. I can wait.”

This video was super informative. The details were great. Humor was definitely a plus. My favorite Castlevania game is SoTN for Playstation. I love the Netflix shows they have. I played some of the NES Castlevanias & always wondered what the timeline was like. 20 minutes well spent for a fantastic class on Castlevania. Thank you 😊
Let's be real, the dormant soul of an immortal dark lord inside an anime high schooler is a ticking timebomb!
Symphony of the Night is my favorite Castlevania because of Alucard, then Curse of Darkness. I found Hector to be somewhat similar to Alucard, and that 's why I loved it. I also liked that they weren't confined to just the whip as a weapon.
What ? U missed the part where Alucard and Maria hooks up and Alucard almost turns into the new Dracula...of course with the help of Demon, Rick and Maria's animal buddies, they win.
Wait..... in the game or???
Idk where u got that. Maria is 12 in Rondo of Blood, 17 in SOTN, and possibly 18 or 21 in the radio sequal

The problem with stories like this is that they are hard to end, and without an ending they don't have that punch.

Literally subscribed as the video started, lol. I friggin love the Castlvania series, and the timeline was always confusing to me. Glad you guys made this video.
I REJECT MY HUMANITY JOJOOO
I knew there were a lot of Castlevania games (never played any. The Netflix series [which was phenomenal] was my intro to the franchise) but holy hell. I didn't know the timeline was THIS confusing lol. Gotta love it though.
Netflix should keep pumping new Castlevania like it's JoJo
I heard the producer wants to do more anime with Berserk, Assassin's Creed, and/or Devil May Cry.
Lament Of Innocence have us one this franchises most beautiful, ear pleasing and sweeping themes, it is the theme in the Garden Forgotten By Time.
Probably one the best narrated videos I have come across. "Shaft!"
As some guy stated here in the comments:
_Could've done without the cringe ass transitions from title to title. HHAHAHAHAHA OMG PATRICIDE THO AMIRITE, SELFIIIIE_
niizzy a mangawaves I’m pretty sure
This is so accurate, though you kinda sounded like an E news presenter.
I love how the Belmont’s were able to return
He protec
He attac
But most importantly...
He smac the drac
I loved the Netflix series and thank you for this video! Castlevania is cool!
2:55
I REJECT MY HUMANITY
JOJO
I loved this timeline narration! Hillariously Awesome!
19:58 The way you say Arikado is so elegant xD
Great video!
_Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls_ has been quite interesting. The characters and settings from previous CV games get made manifest through a research lab's magic, so you have Simon Belmont, Richter Belmont (of which Simon was taken aback to hear that _he_ was actually considered the greatest Belmont), Alucard, Charlotte, Maria, and Shanoa, all together! On top of that, there are 2 versions of Maria! One from when she was 12, and another when she's 17!
It's got a lot of gameplay and storyline than one would ever expect from a mobile game. However, it got yanked from Google Play and is now an Apple Arcade exclusive. Even though AA doesn't allow ads nor IAP, it can get grindy. Worth it if you can put up with it, but that's a big "if".
That was exhaustive! Well done!!
The humor in this video was a delightful encounter :) it made it much more enjoyable and I've watched a lot of Leaderboard videos. Lots of fun to watch ^_^
You should mention that we're still waiting for a gaming featuring the events of 1999.
Very good video. How do you can make those AMAZING videos?
The Belmonts: HOW MANY TIMES DO WE NEED TO TEACH YOU THIS LESSON OLD MAN?
Great video and man you got some great jokes in there i didnt expect! A+
I can't wait to see how the anime flows into Soma's story
It will probably never happen but it would be interesting to see how they would’ve characterize Soma
It’s not an anime
They'd make him bi
I am back, and I only saw Nocturne's teaser a few minutes ago. So even tho I have doubts, there is hope for Soma. Not much hope, but it's there🙂
The DS and GBA Castlevania games are so good. I wish Julius Belmont had been the Echo Fighter in Smash
Julius deserved his own game... I wish it would have happened...
Nonsense, Richter is the most popular next to Simon. It was all a popularity contest. We need Shanoa and Soma
Awesome vid; complete break-down of key events, and great presentation by Jetset... only wish Eric Lecarde got mentioned for POR, as I feel his role there was far more imperative.
That Napoleon Dynamite reference was clean
