I was watching Joov, he did a skyrim playthrough where he didn’t leave BlackReach. I thought that it would be a cool video, but he just spends the whole video complaining of a lack of content. I feel if AA had done it we would have been treated to intense philosophical thoughts about survival and isolation. But alas.

I always loved the Shuttle Loop, my favorite trick was to jack the launch speed up to max and extend the ramp up JUUUST enough to prevent the carts from launching off. It greatly boosted the Excitement rating while barely affecting the Intensity rating, so people would flock to it in droves and it would remain one of my most popular coasters for most of the run. Fond memories...

AA's scripts are genuinely poetic, especially these RollerCoaster tycoon vids.

This is the epitome of content I'm looking for on KZread. Honestly had me smiling at the end and a deep desire to play RCT again. Thank you!

This whole series is meditatively calming for me.

The motherfucker programmed this game in Assembly. Meaning he essentially wrote a line (or like 300) of code to tell the computer where to display EVERY SINGLE PIXEL in EVERY possible scenario in the game. In addition to sound, menus and gui, guest AI, everything. It's a sisyphean task that probably nobody could ever replicate. Dude is a genius.

I admire how you're able to plan such complex parks with rides flawlessly interweaving. Gratz on 1 mil!

You have such a calm and gentle speaking voice whilst causing utter chaos and destruction in game, the contrast is wonderful 😂👍

You never fail to impress me with your abillity to turn anything into a wonderfully complex, well worded monologue of seemingly philosophical nonsense! Well done sir, as always!

7:52 When the Claire DeLune hits you know philosophy is going down, amazing video as always! Alongside the splash of existentialism :D

the "60mph launch speed" gag starting at 3:47 is the funniest moment in the entire AA oeuvre. dying. dead.

i never thought in my life i would ever found Rollercoaster Tycoon ASMR. this is 10 minutes of soft voiced amusement park pleasure

I always turn to ambiguousamphibian when I'm in a mood for both games and story. He never ceases to entertain.

The bit at the end about how computers and creating really captured a feeling of love for the elegance of these games that I really appreciate

Chris Sawyer deserves all the pride he’s ever gotten from these games, but my lord this whole series is absolutely the BEST testament to his work I can ever imagine as an author of something. Someone so poetically putting life into the tools you made for them, and putting it in amazing video form… sheesh. Better than any emmy or grammy or any other stupid ‘award’ you could ever get

2:41 - "It goes up, then down. then back up, then slightly less down." 👏

2 Things 1. Excellent narration and commentary as usual. 2. That little bit of natural shake and smooth panning on your zoomed shots was super satisfying. I havent noticed it before but it was really nice. Thanks.

I'm guessing that the older Theme Park is much too simplistic for you, but I still hope you do a video on it all the same. I still have that tune in my head, all these years later it never goes away. It will haunt me until my dying breath.

I think I appreciate your narrative so much due to the fact that it reminds me of the reports Scully and Mulder write at the end of most of the X-Files episodes. vry deep

“A chicken noodle soup of kinetic energy and friction” Holy crap dude

Can you believe this game was written almost entirely in assembly code?

"Hello." would be my ringtone if I could do that sort of thing these days and had a phone that rang. I prefer that open.

This game absolutely did not need to go as hard as it did on the music, but it did. And we’re so, so grateful it did. That bumper cars music is 🔥

Fantastic video fueled by the childlike feeling of nostalgia converted in a more digestible language for the adults we have become. Almost bringing me to tears of the simpler past. Can't wait to see what comes next

I still remember how to do a trick in this game I haven't seen anywhere else that lets you get any kind of rollercoaster to pass inspections (If that's what it's called, been a while) and open the ride. Only to fill it with tons of people and send them on the most dangerous and usually deadly ride to their deaths. Good times.

Big fan of your work, always a pleasure to watch your edited videos and full vods

You mean to tell me this dude put a water ride that lets you splash down in water on top of water at park that's sitting on the water? Gnarly.

Feels weird saying this, but I have wind up using videos I've already watched of our ambiguous amphibian in my sleeping playlist. When I'm awake, it's entertaining. When I'm asleep it's soothing, and eases me into sleep really well. This mystery amphibian even manages to make war crimes and human rights violations soothing enough for sleep.

Gosh, this game is an absolute masterpiece.

Love this return to the existential philosophy in early video games

I watched the first two seconds of this video about a dozen times and laughed my ass off. That is the perfect intro. Please open every future video exactly the same way as this one.

I appreciate you playing this old little game that so many people love. Thanks!

In 1999 the commercial internet was just 6 years old. Time flies!

idk what it is but something about the delivery of "a water ride... on top of WATER? bizzare" makes me laugh so hard

This is my first video from you, but the pacing, humour, visuals, and just the whole script were on point. I was absolutely mesmerized and I'd love to see more Rollercoaster Tycoon stuff despite not having played any of the games

6:08 "Trying to peer through many colorful coaster tracks-" pun intended? maybe... peer... pier... maybe not intended but- yeah. crazy-

Watching your videos has turned into listening to an audio book with visuals and some background music. I enjoy it.

An excellent achievement. What a lovely park. I wish I could see it in RCT3.

“Every square inch of the park a bright red and white, in bold salute to the briny waves beneath.” That’s…actually really well written. Very descriptive and literary. Please tell me you’re also a writer! Well done!

Cant get enough of the RCT videos, theyre all so good!

I sincerely think you would enjoy OpenTTD. The logistics of it are immensely satisfying. My personal experience with it was a week long binge, playing all waking hours of the day, and burning the candles at both ends. Every day I played, I learned. I reiterated. I started developing systems for my gameplay, my trains, the beautiful rail systems I created. I was simultaneously in a frenzy and a zen zone. I cannot recommend it enough. Thank you for the fantastic content.

I just let the video play in the background for 2 minutes and it becomed a visual mess, what a beatiful piece of modern art

The “Hmm” intro with the lizard pic fits so well I had to replay 3 times holy

I always love to see other people enjoying RCT. It was my first video game ever. Can't believe that was over 20 years ago xD

Imagine if ambiguousamphibian narrated Morgan Freeman's biography...

You should definitely try doing videogame reviews. Your style is amazing and your choice of words always brings me joy

So as illustrations of what people are capable of creating given the proper medium, on the one hand you have this. And on the other, Mr. Bones' Wild Ride. There's an odd sort of symmetry there, and I approve.

Ambiguous, your vocabulary is immaculate and honesty one of my favorite parts of your video.

No idea if you’ll see this Mr Amphibian.. but you should build two looping coasters next to each other. The stations should end side by side so you can sync them. Make them launch through a loop that splits them apart, get a photo, another loop back together and then a steep twisty climb to make them cap out and go back. Huge easy money maker.

My favorite game from my childhood. Making the most vomit inducing roller coasters where they couldn't escape, and leave them with misery lol

Great RCT vid as usual Also, You can get an excitement bonus if you have the yellow coaster at 4:26 go through the loop and intertwine :D

this game seems to have infinite possibilities. very cool to see your creativity.

Amphibian, I recall playing a game in my childhood titled "John Deere American Farmer" that plays a lot like this game in that you build a profitable farm, and has a number of playable scenarios. I think it's worth checking out.

i literally was watching a vod then saw this in my notifications and went "hmm" out loud- so that intro fucking got me man xD him hmming back at me

Marcel Vos makes the best RCT2 videos, without him I would have never beat some of the scenarios

Fun fact, The Dodgems and the Merry-go-round's music actually do compete. Guests will comment on the nice music of a carousel from time to time, but they can't have that thought if there's a dodgems playing music nearby.

I have never thought I would watch someone playing RollerCoaster Tycoon and sit through the entire video. I am glad to have this man in my recommended videos.

I had no iea what I was getting into when I clicked this into my queue. Man I'm glad i did. You sir earned a sub in 10 minutes

In RCT3, if you build even a small water park partition, it'll skyrocket your popularity and be insanely successful

"Afterall, what's a trip to the amusement park without capital T Truth?" That line turned this video into some prose poetry.

7:14 having played this game before, I can confirm this is exactly how the bumper cars music makes me feel

When it first came out, I loved RCT for the ability to create fun, exciting, colorful rides. Now that I'm middle-aged, I find the most satisfying part about it is getting out of debt.
