Thanks for the updates and recommendations. Always wonder where my favourite KZreadrs have disappeared to, but its so great that you've still been working hard on the comic. I love listening to your thoughts on films - you've got a great balanced approach. Hope everything in the New Year goes well for you. All the best.

Oh man been forever dude nice.

I know your probably sick of them but i would love for you to continue the rewriting series even if its not star wars glad your back!

WOW! Missed you, man. Really. Missed. You. Hope you are doing well and willing to share your experiences and perspectives... It's valued! Respect.

Hey, Michael. I recommend these TV shows for you to watch: “High Maintenance,” “How To with John Wilson,” “Moral Orel,” “Nathan For You,” “Six Feet Under.” Miss your reviews and Movie Talk videos. Have a happy New Year!

Only because you mentioned haunting of hill house, Mike Flanagan's adaptation of it was pretty great.. But oh man "Midnight Mass" is his masterpiece as of right now and I hope people give it the attention it deserves

Seeing both "The Great" and "Taskmaster" brought up on TV is amazing. I'm so glad "The Great" came back for season 2, but it's not getting anywhere near the hype or discussion online I think it deserves. Also I've binged 10 seasons of Taskmaster and 2 seasons of New Zealand Taskmaster in the last year or so. New Zealand season 2 is one of the best pieces of TV ever.

I feel the same way about "What we do in the shadows" Has done nothing but get better and crazier every season but I don't see everyone raving about it

Love that show, too! However those episode discussion threads get hundreds to thousands of comments on reddit. While The Great episode discussion threads only get twenty to thirty comments. It's such a shame since it's an absolutely incredible show. One of the best on TV right now, IMO. Until Better Call Saul comes back.

I know this one is super late to the party but A long way to a small angry planet by Becky Chambers was one of the best things I experienced this year. Becky Chambers did an amazing job of making a world that was so interesting I didn't really care if any plot actually occurred. I was just so comfortable with spending time with the characters and learning about the world. I was almost sad when the plot progressed because it meant I got to spend less time just hearing the characters talk to each other. Chambers comes from a family of scientist that background helps make the characters and their cultures feel so real. The story definitely has parallels to things like firefly, and I think Chambers herself has compared it to Farscape. But, I think the best way to describe it is as a semester abroad in space. Love you Michael, as a big comics fan I definitely will check out Obituary. Keep making stuff!

Good to see you back! I always love your unique takes on movies.

I’ve had a very bad day, and I cannot express in words how great it is to see you face on my KZread again! Thanks for the serotonin and exciting about Obituary!

Please talk more about Taskmaster. It's my favourite thing in the world, very excited for the 'Taskmaster New Year Treat' on here in the UK on 1st Jan 🙂

Adore that you've discovered Taskmaster. One of my all time favourite shows for years. Alex Horne supremacy!

Always an awesome surprise to see a new video from you!

So great to watch another one of your videos man! Like many I’m sure, I found you back in the day with your Star Wars videos. Always appreciated how much passion and effort you put into your reviews, as a viewer, just wanted you let know that it shows!

2022 can be good if we've the spine to make it so.

I was so happy to hear that you love hiking. 20 miles in one day is amazing! I've gotten into backpacking this year and I'm really enjoying nature in a new way. So much so that I've made the decision that in a couple years I'm going to hike the PCT!

I only got into backpacking in the past five years. I don’t know if the PCT is in my future (at least as one full trek), but I definitely love having three to five days of wall-to-wall trekking through nature.

Thank you so much for recommending Taskmaster! I've been watching random clips on KZread and it's absolutely hilarious!

Love your videos. Hope to see you posting more in 2022.

Was not expecting skyline to the sea to get a shoutout, excellent hiking, too bad a big portion of it burned down recently

The Matrix Resurrections being Monsters, Inc kinda blows my mind. I wonder if the sequel (if there is one) will explore what Monsters, Inc found out with positive emotions? Also it's great to see a new video from you! Thanks!

Belated! Glad you're back. You ought to check out Glacier National Park, Going to the Sun Road is the most beautiful place on this Earth that I have ever been.

Missed you belated media Mitchell

I love skyline to sea! I’ve done it twice. Berry falls is amazing. Glad you were able to to get out some .

Although I have seen the whole of Taskmaster and love it, I'd still be interested in a more in-depth review from across the pond!

Thanks for the great suggestions and life update. I hold your recommendations in the highest regard.

Welcome back if only for this video

Good to see a video from you in my subscriptions again! Oh my gosh so Hades. I just started playing it about a month ago because all three of my girlfriends were playing it and I loved watching them but roguelikes aren't really my thing (Im a hollow knight speedrunner and also a puzzle and cozy game fan). Once I did though, oh my gosh was I hooked. I played so much that I surpassed both of them in progression, completed everything, and now I'm speedrunning that too. Can't say enough good things about it or supergiant as a whole!

good to hear from you after so long and I love hearing about the movies, tv, and books you have tried but I especially like to hear you talk about games so it is even nicer to hear you talk about super giant games, the bioshock series, and indieland as a guy who loves indies it is nice to hear about your work with Jirard and about your contributions to Alzheimer's research props to you and your boys at tovg you guys are the best

I guess the part 1 & 2 for animated films I can only think of was The Dark Knight part 1 & 2. Which was pretty damn good.

I honestly cannot stop gushing about "Arcane" on Netflix. Definitely my show of the year.

I watched all of the available episodes of taskmaster in about a week. That show is great.

30 seconds in, just wanted to comment that it's making me smile to see you again (it's been a while)

Please talk about taskmaster. More humans outside of the UK need to know about Alex Horne's brilliance

I'd love to see you on Camera in a Completionist video!

One of the big ones for me this last year was that I finally got to play Batman Arkham knight which I had been wanting to play since it came out. I thought it was a fantastic end to that series and they introduced one of my all time favorite characters in a really great way. They set it up so well that even people who may not know the character or the storyline could get the full emotional payoff of the reveal and for a huge fan like me I was just so excited to see that character and that storyline done justice.

Please make more videos! Jeez I have missed belated media.

Aw that was really nice! I’ve missed your videos Michael!

please do another "what if star wars VII was good" video !!!! that segment was brilliant and id love to hear your thoughts on them, especiallyafter the hype and all has died down

Always happy to see a video from you, glad to see you are doing well (at least as well as one can do in the modern covid hellscape). I had all sorts of things I watched/played/etc. that I enjoyed a lot this year. I saw the original Robocop finally, loved that. I saw the original Candyman which was honestly much more fucked up than I thought it would be. Psychonauts 2 is legit one of the best games I've ever played. Just so much media that I enjoyed a lot this year. Oh also Midnight Mass was incredible, one of the best shows I've ever seen.

@belatedmedia

I can speak to Robocop and Candyman - Yeah, both are incredible pieces for wildly different reasons, but they've got such staying power with strong imagery, driven characters, and fully realized worlds. I've heard nothing but positive things about Psychonauts 2 and hope to dive into it at some point. Since I'm such a scaredy cat, Midnight Mass is a slightly more unlikely watch for me; the same has true for films like Midsommar and Hereditary - potentially great, but I'm fearful even if I were to watch 'em in broad daylight, I would be haunted.

Taskmaster is amazing and I'm so happy when I hear others that love it.

Great to see you again! I’d love to hear your review of Dune. All the best for 2022.

Would you kindly post more in 2022? :P

Please talk more about Taskmaster!!! I miss your videos anyway and Taskmaster is my absolute favourite show!

Q: When has there been a "Part 1" animated movie? A: Ralph Bakshi's Lord of the Rings

The dark knight returns has part 1 and 2 (: also and AMAZING pair of movies

PLEASE do a deep dive on taskmaster!! It’s one of the greatest gems on tv

Movies: The Mitchells vs the Machines was great! Shows: The Orville has some great social commentary and I'm excited for Season 3! Books: Read Artemis Fowl before watching the movie. Shouldn't have watched the movie.

Good to see Michael! Hope to see you again soon!

i had to pause the video to say talk about task master. i fucking love that show.

Taskmaster is incredible. There's a version from New Zealand as well, which is pretty good. But with that passionate a recommendation, I think you should be obligated to emphasize that you **should not** watch Taskmaster US. At least until you already realize how good Taskmaster is.

I agree that Bioshock 2 is also the best. Its the height of the gameplay loop. Story is good too - especially the dark ending. I think the Bioshock 1 twist, while amazing, doesn't prop up the rest of the game. Skyoshock starts out amazingly strong but ends in a bit weird. As for my game of the year - like you, just the game I played this year - is Prey. Which, if you like Bioshock, you NEED to play Prey. Its even more a System Shock successor than even Bioshock is.

Do a taskmaster Michael!

Gnosia on Switch was a mind blowing game on Switch that made me reconsider the limits of what visual novels can do! It's like a VN meets a roguelike. Super unique! Its also made by a japanese indie team and super rad. I highly recommend it 😁

HES BACK

Love this boi and love this content. It's been too long

Game wise: Solar Ash and Loop Hero were huge for me this year

Haha, is it cheating if I cite anime? Regardless, Kara no Kyoukai: A Study in Muder - Part 1 (2007)

I want you to talk about Taskmaster.

You should talk to Gerard about Bioshock 2. I still get annoyed when i think about his review on it.

Reservation Dogs was an incredible show!

Beautiful

It sounds like you didn't play Burial at Sea, the dlc for Bioshock Infinite. They definitely wrap up the story as much as they could it felt like, I think the series is officially dead after that

@belatedmedia

2 жыл бұрын

I played both chapters of Burial at Sea and outside of looping into the first Bioshock, I believe there are plenty of places they could go, as “there is always a man and there is always a lighthouse.” The stories don’t need to loop into one another if that is truly the mantra of the series, but if it all is intended to be a closed loop of limited constants and variables (so not much on the variables), then, yeah, I guess it’s over.
