I hope the CA ETW team sees this vid. :laugh4: The SEGA suits too. Not that they'd care one way or another.

I liked it better when he got banned from X-Box live. That man sure has gone through a lot.
True kinda none-the-less.

Have you not watched the 74+ other ones on youtube about the last superbowl and other crap?

I have, and I don't see why we need this here. Maybe I'm a bit grumpy today, but I don't care for this.

I don't really have to many problems with my game (lucky i guess) but i found it to be damned hysterical!
People need to be a little less uptight imo. I blame both those who are not constructively critical (though i can understand thier frustation a bit more than the second group) and those who jump on every criticism of the game and tell people its thier fault... it may be the case occasionally but often it may not be and to be told your game isn't working because your too stupid to work a computer* must be infuriating
*is what those getting told its thier driver's ect. may feel like sometimes..
lulz, but is the game really bad ? lol, I dont trust hitler for some reason.
Funny youtube comment.
I actually always preferred the strategy side of TW more than the battlefield.
I though it was really well done. I 've seen his other versions and they were all nicely put together, but then being English I don't have any PC 'hang ups' about Hilter so for me they are just a clever use of a bit of film fottage.
Personally, I'm not have any of the problems with the game he mentions either, but I realise that other people are. The worse that could happen is that some people who could play the game successfully don't buy it because of the negative publicity.
Or maybe you just don't want it here because it's bad-mouthing CA for shoddy work, and a lot of people here simply can't handle that, as we see in every thread where even the slightest complaint is made.
I thought that was hilarious, and this is from someone who plays the game at least 4 hours a day and enjoys it immensely, despite its shoddy workmanship.

That video made me chuckle ~:) I don't agree with with everything he said but it was still funny
Have to admit, one line was really funny. "Did anyone even play the game at CA?". You really have to wonder, also, all those reviewers, did they not play the game and see "Wow, look at these bugs!"

I don't have too many issues with the game so I still love it. However, I thought the video was great.:laugh4:
It was fun watching it, especially knowing what the real discussion was about (having watched the movie about 6 months ago).

I laughed so hard I almost had a Empire Total War memory dump in my boxers.:laugh4:
What movie is it?
Downfall. A German movie based on the recollections of one of Hitler's personal secretaries (the tall blond behind the crying woman).

i wish i saw this before i picked up a new computer for this game :embarassed:
funny, but some of the jokes were stupid~
I don't care much for the video. But I'll stand to the death for it's right to be here!
Its okay to critisize and vent some. And CA does need to hear the good along with the bad. Afterall, many of us are passionate about this game and the series or we wouldnt keep coming back here and talking about it. :yes:

Hmm... maybe the reviewers got a perfect game and CA is giving us the buggy version just to toy with us......
Personally there aren't THAT many bugs as some people seem to think there is. The huge downfall is that there are some bugs that make the game broken that should have been caught on day one. Anyways I don't have a single one of the bugs in the movie and haven't heard of some of them like screen flicker?
Anyways with the bugs aside ETW is an amazing game and I will be playing it for sometime until the next total war.
OH and what ever happened to the beta to the multiplayer campaign that we were suppose to get "shortly after release." It has passed the shortly after release time so what is going on?
The "Coughs like a Hybrid running on Diesel" line put me on the floor. Simply Hilarious.
Hey that was a very funny video. I only had one problem with it. Showing a crazy, angry Adolf Hitler, who is upset about a poor quality game , probably has little effect on anyone because he was crazy and upset about a lot of things....
IF on the other hand, there was a video of a crazy, upset Gahdi, Martin Luther King, or even Churchill; that video could have more of an impact! :2thumbsup:
Kudos for the ORG for allowing this video to be posted here. They deleted it over at TWCenter.

Historical bias.
Anything related to that time period from Germany is banned anywhere (especially in Germany), basically, though, there are generally no problems with the Soviets, even when they killed more people and were just as bad as the Germans ever were. The soviets, however, are the cool dictator t-shirts, while German period wasn't.
Obviously, sprouting garbage that Russians, Germans, English, Internationally from that time period are offences. As it was basically all politically incorrect in the sense of racist/sexist/discrimination views.
Those who seek to ignore their own history are eventually doomed to repeat it.

Interesting. I agree with Mel Brooks' philosophy: the best way to oppose views like those espoused by Hitler is to ridicule them. There's no better way to tear Hitler down than to laugh at him.

That is a good philosophy.
The first Downfall remix I saw was for Company of Heroes and it was very funny. The creator of that one was pretty clever in how he laid out the dialogue with the facial expressions. That one also focused on balance (or lack thereof), complaining about Relic doing a shoddy job, then maybe it was really THQ's fault. There's on part where Hitler says something like 'Well, at least I still have my Nebelwerfers...' and then there is silence and all the generals in the room look kinda scared. One finally tells Hitler that they were nerfed too, then a brief silent pause, and then Hitler just loses it.
Here it is... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFjbGi0x3kg&feature=related
That was funny -- who doesn't like a good rant? Leary and Miller made careers on them.
Downfall was a very good film though, and not just as a WWII docudrama either. The depth and texture given to the evolution of the bunker mentality, and how it came apart at the end, was simply excellent. That particular monologue was of a nature that it does make me cringe a little to see it reused for comedy though -- not sure how many of you speak German but in summary he's blaming the German populace for all his failures and relishing in their coming destruction as punishment.

/agree, you never see these rant videos the same once you've seen the actual clip with subtitles...(or you actually speak German, I suppose :2thumbsup:)
