A Comedy Musician Reacts | IT JUST WORKS and CRUSHING THIRTIES by The Chalkeaters [REACTION]

For added context on the Horse Armour, it was an even bigger deal back in the day. Just a few years earlier the previous game in the series, Morrowind, had featured a collection of what at the time were called official mods. These eight "official mods" ranged from a simple interaction at one of the game's taverns, to new items, an improved soundscape for one of the regions, and even entire quests. All eight of the "official mods", many larger in scope than Oblivion's Horse Armour DLC, had been offered for download completely free of charge from Bethesda. So it wasn't just that they were charging a ridiculous amount for something so minor, it was that they were charging a ridiculous amount for something that they previously would have given away for free.

The game that made you buy save slots was Metal Gear Survive, Konami's first Metal Gear game without Kojima. It was probably one of the worst games to come out that year.

Fun fact the cane is the Wabbajack from Skyrim yes I definitely spelled that wrong but I don’t care it’s Sheogorath’s daedric artifact and he’s the daedric prince of madness

I think an RPG without levels, with weapon degradation could still work. Not in Bethesda's hands, certainly, more of an indie game that would've been on Kongregate 8 years ago, easy, two mediums and a hard badge kinda game, but I'm thinking things like an achievement-based feat system, kill 10 goblins to unlock a little tick box to choose to do 5% more damage to goblins, five tiers of that, destroy your first weapon to unlock 10% more durability for weapons, speak with The Duck Prince to unlock the All Bullets Are Ducks option-that kind of stuff, very genre-typical you understand- or find every Blue Elephant to unlock the Blue Elephant skin, throw in a nice Achievement Unlocked reference, forgot what the guy behind those is called.

It look likes the cane is the wabbajack. The weapon of sheogorath, the deadra prince of madness in the elder scrolls lore.

No worries -- and this actually does match last time; when they'd had the full version of the Doom Crossing song, you'd also just acknowledged that you might listen to the full version offstream. :)

Great reaction, I don't know if we should put it to your knowledge of the franchise and songwriting instincts or bethesda having so obvious targets to aim for but it was hillarious to see everytime you lifted another of their failures just for them to reach it in the next few bars. I admire Chalkeaters ability to get people involved with the franchises they mock to participate though. They must have some really good sales pitches to get crush 40 in this case, but even more so Gabe himself and Ellen McLain for the "Count to three" song. Had this been today when they have more clout I wouldn't have been that suprised if they could have gotten a few words from Todd as well.

I like that even tho " IT JUST WORKS a" is full of memes and roasts its also full of callbacks and small lore details, not only that, you wouldn't know about some of these things unless you were somehow deep into the fandom wich just shows how great these games. When half of these things are just devs being greedy so a usual thing.

You should check out the full version of the sonic song, it's more optimistic! A bit. (And they do have lyrics on screen) Also, a lot of it is playing off the song names and level names. "live and learn" = "No time to live, no time to learn", "seven rings in hand" = "A hero with no rings in his hand". Green Hills, Scrap Brain. "Gotta go fast" turns into "Gotta take it slow".

this guy is fucking underrated. Much love.

the game that sold save slots, Metal Gear survive. So you werent too far away from death stranding, but series were created by Kojima.

man, i love how you actually pause the video and comment on what's going on and your thoughts so many of these "reaction channels" just watch the video and chuckle every now and then and it's over. u earned a sub.

That Crush 30s song was SO well made, absolutely loved hearing the singer from Crush 40 back in action...but man does it make me feel old. Speaking of Sonic songs, it'd be really cool to see a react to Video Game Rap Battles: Mario VS Sonic. It's basically ERB but for video games. Very well written with some surprisingly good CG.

Horse armour was oblivion to me knowledge

The Chalkeaters just relased a whole new Skyrim song! Please check it out!

to bad you missed a nice visual easter egg in the it just works song at 3:49(14:05 your video) when the line was on screen with: full of rusty swords and used pregnancy tests

if Todd comes out and sings it just works on ES6 gameplay reveal, ill buy another copy of skyrim

You watching a song called "Crushing Thirties" when my thirtieth was yesterday feels weird.

This is an amazing reaction! Love the knowledge about all the scandals plus the genuine laughter

i never said this before but i really appreciate the commentary you put in your videos, its always entertaining and educational. keep up the good work
