Guy talks About Starship Troopers for 25 minutes NOt clickbait
Starship Troopers is the 1997 action movie that inspired Helldivers 2. Directed by notorious Dutch weirdo Paul Verhoeven, Starship Troopers was widely reviled when it came out. Some people just plain didn't like the movie. But others, including people who should've known better, totally missed the point. Because Starship Troopers is satire. Helldivers 2 borrows the tone and premise of Starship Troopers, poking fun at the American military industrial complex. Looking back at how the film was received - and how many people just Didn't Get It - can help us understand Helldivers 2 now. Polygon's Patrick Gill explains the whole dang thing.

Fun reminder for everyone, the Red Alerts hit Steam. Red Alert Two is the GOAT
Not sure if it's up anymore. But there was a making of documentary on this franchise. That had some of the lead writers telling of how Curry kept laughing at his incredibly corny lines. What's the one of them commenting that he almost fell out of his chair during this particular take.
Thanks for the info, Olivia Rodrigo!
what's the name of the music at 3:10?
.... antici .... paction .... 👄
I made a single video featuring this sound and now it's in everything I watch 😭
I've read the entire Dune Series. 1,277,820 words. And that's just one series. It's a small amount of reading. But dayam, I'm impressed you collated them all and read 'em. Now I'm gonna finish watching your vid and decide if I'm about to do the same.
That weird ass scene in Wolfenstein the new collosus where the FIVETEEN year old German girl is getting fucked in submarine by the black guy
This needs to be an easter egg song that plays on some random radio in a remote location in the next singleplayer fallout game
S'PAECE
Scarlett and violet so boring players had to make the most boring game from real life to make the game play better
Trash white boy
I think its fantastic
shoutout to patrick in the back of the Polygon Chorus looking rather confused as to what the hell is going on, but ends up looking like one of the most enthusiastic ones in that group. patrick has never failed me
We all know Elon's only robot idea is Sex Woman.
Havent played 3, but every single RA2 cutscene was like this
3:51, I beg your pardon, I mean...... Yeah, but when you say stuff like that out loud, it comes out wrong.
Girl had 1 minute to explain anything and said, nah id lazy 😒
“Noooo the emotionless robot sounds empty, have my special guy favorite voice actor do it” “Yeah, that’s better! That’s a more interesting unengaged emotion-lacking pip boy character” Yall wanted a claptrap then went full autismo for your specialest recognizable voice
You're a woke leftist company. You should be all for the child killer reputation.
So you had to report this while wearing a plunging neck night gown.....tired of seeing women base themselves to get clicks
The story of Yrai is really a folk tale. Mysterious gnome asks you for money. Should gift it to him with no question, your generosity shall be rewarded a hundred fold.
sPaCe!🤩
My opinion on console commands is that if Bethesda didn't intend for us to use them, then they wouldn't have made the console so easy to access.
And just because they're "unsupported" doesn't mean that they weren't meant to be played with. Just that if you break your game with them, Bethesda can't be held responsible.
“Defensive actions being painted as aggressions and being used as an excuse for full scale invasion or war” this is literally what people are doing every time they mention Hamas in regards to the Palestinian genocide. Israel has been perpetrating genocide against Palestine since 1947 and Hamas has only existed since the 1980s.
Honestly i do like peter sometimes more then nolan i like the ghost as like a monotone spectator more then reacting like its in danger
Hey nice Power Trip shirt
Opting out means you can not use discord.
How do you babble on about _Starship Troopers_ for 25m without discussing Sargon of Akkad's magisterial take on it? Sad. "Original thinking is for people too stupid to do research."
Kane lives!!!!
Mortal Wombat. Just any Wombat
Tim Curry is a treasure. Even after a bad stroke he still works. Respect.
SPAAAACE already *is* remembered by the public internet conciousness
There are much bigger problems going on in the world.
That fruit cake looks like they alchemically transmuted the fruit into meat
Crazy theory, not only has this person never played Command and Conquer, they had no idea who Tm Curry is.
You forgot about the Gitar guy in New Vegas that writes Country music.
1996 ? I never knew technology even existed. 😳
It's wild because while I understand and agree with the risks for Arrowhead, the community that I've met had genuinely been one of the friendliest I've ever met
I love BOTW to death, great game. Nintendo rarely ever disappoints with a Zelda game, but it did slightly anger me when I found out you could make hard honey candy to give some hearts and stamina. Then shortly there afterwards I finished all shrines, got my Of the Wild armor set, and needed all that honey back to upgrade it. They should have had a side quest in this game where you won the "Hyrulian Ultimate Cookbook" that had every possible recipe in it so you'd know what to expect. I know they snuck hints and several recipes in the game, but it wasn't enough. I think the ultimate cookbook is a good idea, and would make a great prize for a sidequest.
The cooking system in this game was a good idea, and most recipes were legit, but many of them were not thought out well. I think they should have been more detail, but I understand the game only has so much memory or whatnot. It's a good system, but didn't exactly play out right in every situation.
And who was offended by this? 🤷♂️
Smash or pass, difficulty impossible, its too late you already lost
Even though many, including the professional critics, missed the satire at the time. I can't help but think that if it was released in the 2020's the "missing of the point, and radicalization therein" from the bigoted crowd, small but vocal as they are, would have been much greater. Some have described modern times as "post-irony". I believe that would apply to a reading of Starship Troopers were it made now.
Love me some command and conquer
One thing about games I hated in that time seeing real actors like hello it’s a game idc why are they here
Honestly, the original art is better and makes more sense
i mean its a neat map, but no download link which is lame. not that it would even work in the current version because reasons.
Aphrodite doesn't even wear anything. She covers with her hair.
isnt cats and soup some nft thing for whatever reason? last time i played i swear i saw some stuff about it in a menu
