    I'll probably start livestreaming some time in the next few weeks, so follow me at offtark on twitch or @off_tark on twitter if you want to be notified about that. I'll probably also make a YouTube community post when I go live.

    Honestly I really like the thought that in a different timeline, Ayre is calling you "Monkey Gordo" the whole time and one of the endings is called "Fires of Monkey Gordo"

    The prisoner rescue is actually available in your second playthrough, it just unlocks if you betray the Redguns at the dam.

    Honestly didn't like Iguazu at first but after that 3rd ending, couldn't help but love the man. This guy doomed himself out of sheer pettiness and mald just to try and one up us, gotta respect the effort he put in

    The armored core cast of characters is amazing! You have: Best buddy-Rusty Best wife-Ayre Best gilf-Carla Best Daddy-Walter

    I don’t know why but I’m so obsessed with “Intercept the Redguns” from a narrative standpoint. At this point, Balam Industries is completely screwed now that Arquebus Corporation possesses the scavenged PCA tech to drive them off-world, pretty much all the Redguns have either deserted or were killed off and many of the lesser grunts and MTs were wiped out by the Watchpoint’s defenses and mass desertions occurring and all G1 Michigan has left of his forces are his most fanatical MT squadrons taking on a pointless mission of trying to take down Raven and hopelessly charge through NEPENTHES. But does he turn tail and run? No, he orders his soldiers to charge into battle against a single pilot of mass destruction (C4-621 Raven/V.IV Rusty) for a hopeless battle in the service of an uncaring corporation and dying senseless deaths on the battlefield, par for the course in the world of Armored Core. Sure, Michigan could’ve read the room and knew this to be a lost cause and joined the withdrawal from Rubicon 3 to face the wrath of Balam’s higher ups for his failure but he’ll be damned if he wasn’t going all in to “bag the big one” and take a shot at eliminating the Wall Climber, the Worm Killer and the only G13 who has lived this long. Even when he dies, does his MT squadron break and try to flee? No, they assert that Michigan gave it his all, stand their ground and continue to fight. If 621 dies, Michigan wastes no time calling in relief teams to the front to tend to the wounded. Even Handler Walter doesn’t sound ecstatic about killing Michigan off, simply telling 621 to get the job done. They must’ve known each other back on Jupiter when Walter was sent there as a boy before the Fires of Ibis erupted. I’m almost reminded of Stannis Baratheon and his ill-fated March to Winterfell from Game of Thrones (TV Series only! Book Stannis is very different and much more successful). Forces depleted from mass desertions and facing overwhelming odds with no hope of victory but goes down fighting. Goddamn, I so wish there was a route to side with Balam all the way, maybe a DLC or “AC6.1” game like For Answer and Verdict Day where we have more options to side with the other factions such as the PCA or BRANCH.

    "Everyone has a color scheme programed into their DNA. Mine is Black and Orange." I know exactly what you mean. Mine is Black and Purple with Silver detailing/highlights. Consistently looks really good in most games.

    At 52:25 I unironically died as soon as Iguazu's AC was destroyed and I thought I lost but ended up winning instead. When in the next mission I found out Allmind faked my death made me think that my destruction was scripted. Turns out that is not the case.
  • I just want to let you know at 4:16, the legs you shjow are technically not reverse joint legs, they're bipedal. It's a common mistake and I honestly found out only recently from another video.
  • "Deploying a million dollar mech to destroy a child is funny". I haven't never played an Armored Core game, I haven't seen a single AC video from any Souls Youtubers, but I made an exception for this one. The writing is brilliant.
  • @mohammedbaig9569
    A 1 hour Dark Tark video is vital to human survival, seriously, its in the lore
  • @thescepter1231
    It's said the audience blooms with joy like death blight when dark tark uploads . It's canon , it's in the lore .
  • @coldnoodles2951
    I was loosing sleep thinking what the deal was with armored core. Thank you Dark tark i can finally rest in sleep now.
  • @JustSnowglow
    My core was instantly armored as soon as I saw this notification. I can't wait to hear all about the cannon lore I missed.
  • @GenericAcc
    Your videos have really opened my eyes to all of the deals there really are. I am no longer a sheep
