Fatslob left a message on his Voobly profile: Hi all! Fatslob here :) Really liked the youtube video T90. U made an extremly boring game seem quite entertaining with your comments. Never knew i was a legend :) As u all know i suck at this but for some reason i love the game so much that i cant quit it. I found my way of playing the game so i can at least win some of the games ;) I am not playing to piss people off, I just play to win. Having said that i must admit its a little fun when people do get pissed off :) However i do enjoy long games, endurance is my middle name. Reason i seldom comments when people taunt me is that im fully occupied trying to play the game - multitasking is not my middlename :) But then again its kinda enjoyable when people start calling me an idiot and a noob, maybe they are right but then again what does it say about them losing to an idiotic noob ;) I am from Sweden, but I am a bit younger than my birthday info here implies. To bad though that the video didnt show a game where i actually fight. Im not all about hiding I can actually fight pretty good once i get my economy and army togheter. But maybe we can c that in another video with me - the legend fatslob :)

"Fear not the man who has practiced a thousand kicks but once." "Fear the man who has practiced one kick, one thousand times."

"To fight and conquer in all our battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting." - Sun Tzu

you know you've reached the point of despair when you dock that tiny pond just to make cannon galleons

"I know what you're thinking. I'm just going to boom up and then attack. Well you're half right." -fatslob

hes like a gym boss for the black forest

I ran into Fatslob the other day, he asked me what I was working on. I told him I was building a tower, and you know what he said to me? He said, "The wall just got one row deeper."

"The Chinese made the great wall to keep the mongols away. I make my walls to keep your sanity away." -Fatslob

"Hate to break it to you, you're not going to be able to catch someone off guard who has 15 thousand layers of stone walls" Genuinely laughed out loud. 10/10

I want to see Fatslob vs Viper, Black Forest, Vikings Only

He's playing WW1 with walls and trebuchets instead of trenches and machineguns, what a legend XD

Born 1949. This is an older dude who probably gets home from work, hops on. Plays his settings, doesn't pay any attention to the chat and goes about his business. My Dad has played Aoe2 for years and always does the same strat and almost always the same settings himself. I guess once you're a content old man, you know what you like and you stick to it.

23:40 "If you're a berserk out there you turn into a monk past age 80 so just be prepared for that."

The legend says fatslob is still building walls

"he only plays black forest" found my new favorite aoe player

Back in the MSN gaming zone days, I once defended a 4 vs 4 game for 4 hours and 30 minutes. (game time, so 3h+ in real life) It was a Yucatan map with rivers splitting land masses by players. My base got destroyed early, so was one of my teammates. So I ran and rebuilt behind my teammate's base. We decided to dock the river and concentrated it with navy, together with bombard towers/cannons behind. Taking how OP the cannon galleons of Spanish (very accurate/fast firing/affected by ballistics) and Turks (15+2 range, so not even trebs could out range) We squeezed our whole team in a corner of an area for only about 1.5 players with a perfect moat. We basically defended the whole way like that without attacking. With highly inefficient trade, we could still hold the line because we didn't lose a lot of units. Nothing could get close, not onagers, not bombard cannons, not trebs. At about 3 hour mark in game time, the opponent team started losing their focus (and minds). We could tell some of them just queued up trash units and let them attack automatically while being AFK. It took so long they started to resign. In the end all but 1 of them resigned. It became 3 vs 1, so they decided it's over. (one of my side thought it was hopeless to hold and gave up early) You may think this is just a noob, or coward way (I was always a noob, actually I never really reached even the "intermediate" level back then) to win, defending and physically exhausting your opponents to victory. But there wasn't a better choice. And for us it was highly entertaining trying to survive in such tiny pocket land and hold to defend. This was the greatest experience that I literally just played defensively the whole way to win.

"wtf do you do as vikings on black forest on aoc," a young, naive mind once asked. "Let the master show you," responds some random person who isn't fatslob because fatslob never speaks

This is the greatest content ever. I don't mean just the greatest T90 video or the greatest AOE2-related thing; I mean that someday future generations will cherish this 39 minute masterpiece alongside the Mona Lisa, Beethoven's 5th, Citizen Kane, etc.

Never heard of this guy but I'd absolutely play him, just to see if i could beat him at his own game. Gotta respect that devotion to 1v1 black forest. I'd get some snacks, a water bottle and make sure my saturday schedule was completely free, put on a long playlist of some calming music and see who has the better patience! >:)

99.99% sure this guys writhes in pleasure every time someone shows salt to his gameplay. but not sure why he doesn't taunt in any other way... 1337% legend though

6:12 I love how that one vil is just standing in the way, not helping anyone

I have played this guy. The first time I was totally pissed and talked rudely to him after game, but i realised he was not doing this to annoy, it is just his style. He was nice when talking, so I thought to cool down and challenge him later again. Lost again, played again but this time I managed to sneak a vill, rushed with archers and demolished him. Played him again and won but now he KICKS me from his room 11. Yes my name is there in the frequent opponents list xD

I played him about 3 times a few years back. Once I knew his strategy I just went for forward walls straight away and he resigned.

Trench warfare at its finest

"He's like a Viper Daut mix" - so he's Daiper?

Hairy_Davis only plays 1v1 giant crater lake every single game, CainVelazxxx has over 4000 games, every single one was a trush. Teamgame and he is pocket? Trush. been inactive for almost a year though.

The best tactic is actually to sneak in your starting villagers into his base without him knowing, hide them in the corner of his side of the map, then rush the hell out of him

I heard of Fatslob, never played against him and never will do it. He is one of the reasons why I really love the change that made onagers cut trees and i would never play a non-wololo-BF game.

The laugh when he saw red put all those trebuchets behind his wall made my day

4 years ago I watched this video and it got me interested in aoe2. Iv been watching your videos for 4 years and yesterday I played my first game of aoe2. I skipped the tutorial to play with friends and didn’t know how to make a barracks or make my special unit. Today I figured out you can upgrade farms and wood cutting speed. Fun game.

a century is 100 years 10 years would be a decade.

I remember one community game where you were telling us about a guy who only ever plays 1v1 Gigantic Crater Lake... perhaps it's time for this legend to be told in video?

I expected his win ratio to be much better

The biggest shock of all is that fatslob actually has 1 friend on Voobly!!! I played him a couple of years ago over Christmas. He doesn't beat you, he makes you so salty you beat yourself. I played pretty much like his opponent here. Tried to break through in feudal. Didn't work. Tried to break through in castle. Nope. Tried to break through in early imp. No chance. I wasted so much res trying to break him I was broke when he pushed out. I put two vils behind thirty odd layers of stone walls, then showered, changed, ate etc. while he had to break them all. I bet he didn't care.

Never played Age of Empires, but as an RTS player I find this so fascinating and entertaining

The moment someone says something isn't a strategy, they've lost because they can't comprehend different methods.

Fatslob vs TheViper, Fatslob's settings. If anyone can beat him it's Viper.Can't tell you how much I would love to see them fight it out, and to see Viper get salty!

I feel like I just watched the Iron Warriors fight the Death Korps of Krieg.

This is the video that made me comeback to aoe2. Now I'm playing on DE but the fact that this showed up in my youtube feed some years ago changed my life and I have to go back sometimes to this just to remember the moment when I realized that my childhood game was still alive.

Amazing find! Need more of this stuff. You need to play him and have Dave be a spectator

This is the Smash version of AoE Fatslob: "No Wonders, Vikings Only, Black Forest!" Also 23:24 Slobs Monk: "YOINK!"

He won a war with 18 deaths, hes a damn legend! (5 people died and 13 wooden machines)

This is like one of two AoE2 videos I've watched and KZfaq, and what a legendary pick it was.

This was a great vid! Don´t know why AoE2 vids started creeping up in my recomended feed since I don´t play it myself but I´m glad it did :D

Good video, man. I think you mentioned this guy in an AoE jeopardy video or something, so when I saw this I clicked right away. Not disappointed.

It's crazy to think that in less than a year this video will be half a century old

“If you don’t have enough artillery, quit.” - General Richard Cavasos

I clicked because it was in my recommended videos. I was a big player of Age of Empires: Age of Kings, for the DS, a turn-based instead of RTS, played a lot of AoE online, and this was very entertaining for me to watch, especially with the commentary. Thanks!

>Turtling up while constantly stopping your opponent from even breaking your defences by blocking off sneak attack locations before they can even attempt to use them while maximizing the resources in your land Can't believe somebody managed to pull this off so well against a player, I've only seen it done to this extent on SP games. Must be infuriating to play against when people tend to always play the offensive rather than defensive. Rogal Dorn would be proud

"I fear not the man who has practised 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who had practised one kick 10,000 times"

Great video, just started aoe2 HD so I've never heard of fatslob! Glad I found out about the legend.

This is why I love this channel and this community, and btw. I'm not even playing AoE! Like at all! Yet, it's fascinating to watch and listen to those commentaries. Those unique characters that can be found there? Amazing! And hats of to T90 for covering such quirky and unique individuals. Though watching pros duke it out in tournaments is exciting, but honestly all those folk you never hear about who have such strange strats? It's a spice that makes this content so delicious

I hate this guy just by watching him play

Trump needs to hire this man.

This guy is my kind of player. Also holy hell, I coughed a lung from laughing so much when you panned the camera over to the middle section and red had stationed 20 trebuchets there.

Good new vid, never seen him before. Keep it up T90 your are making me seriously feel to start back playing

Yea boiiiii Pls T90 do more of aoe2 community legends

I feel physical pain watching this

Every other AOE2 player: I HAVE AN ARMY Fatslob: i have walls

It's pretty awesome to come back here, years down the line. Tristan's mic quality, his stuffy-sounding voice, but above all, the comfy vibes that always surround Fatslob games. Man.

I don't play AoE because I suck at it, but in the games I DO play this is how I like to play. I don't like intense, risky, razer's edge fights. I like long sieges, stealing little advantages, posturing and playing mindgames. Ambushes and complicated fortifications are so much more fun to me than a big open field. Fatslob is my hero, bringing defensive gameplay to AoE Meta.

Fatslob VS THE VIPER UNSTOPPABLE FORE VS IMMOVABLE OBJECT WHO WILL SUCCEED

That was a great video. I had no idea about this guy, but now I do. Can't wait to see more in future.

Haha awesome narration T90. Love this person, he has a plan and plays it through the end in victory. Indeed a legend!

Hey T90, any way we can get a Viper vs fatslob on black forest best of 3?

Ya know the Red player couldve actually won this if he had some more strategy in his brain other then rushing. The best thing he couldve potentially done is slowly start cutting his way through the long way around , whilst makeing it appear like hes still trying to attack futilely from the front and thus clouding his true strategy by appearing like a dumbass. But then again maybe he was just so annoyed that he just resorted to walling himself off too....but he really shouldve used that time to think.

I played AoE2 couple of times few years ago, I didn't except it has so big community. I love it that all these players have their own, passionate communities!

I found your channel through this video :-)

I actually beat fatslob 3 times and then he refused to play vs me again. The key is just to win a vill war in the beginning because his micro sucks. He even resigned before 15 minutes once i got my palisade right at the edge of the forest. Free rating points!

Want more bluecoffee here. He is the true legend. "just passing“

this is a great series, love the real sense of personality

T90, this was your best job casting that I have seen.

He actually replied to this on his voobly profile saying: Hi all! Fatslob here :) Really liked the youtube video T90. U made an extremly boring game seem quite entertaining with your comments. Never knew i was a legend :) As u all know i suck at this but for some reason i love the game so much that i cant quit it.

To bad though that the video didnt show a game where i actually fight. Im not all about hiding I can actually fight pretty good once i get my economy and army togheter. But maybe we can c that in another video with me - the legend fatslob :)

Never laughed so hard from a game like this one. And nice commentary btw

I thought your vids and streams could get repetitive eventually, this one proves me wrong. Respect to you and The Legend! And thank you for your work, I´m so happy you are getting huge donations this month.

Recently discovered T90s channel with the release of AoE II DE..man this guy is truly a Legend. As he said he has amazing endurance. All his matches on BF all Viking Wars. A legend is all I can say.

Siege of Byzantium 340 BC

show some of those victory videos!

"Good luck, I'm behind 7 stone walls!"

I love this guy. He's just an old man trying to play the game the way he likes and doesn't give one damn about what everyone thinks about it. It's honestly pretty wholesome.

Why is this so quiet compared to literally every other vid? I had to max it just to hear things, and even then it was mediocre at best.

Do you know these videos about artificial neural networks learning to play games? Fatslobs playstyle lets me question his humanity. xD

this is my new favourite youtube video, u got a new sub

Watching this 3 years later. The mic upgrade since then is noticeable

I don't understand the point of that game. Can anyone explain me why Red resigned expect being bored ?

I want to create a bot to fight him that literally just sits back, takes all the resources and let's the game go as long as possible.

The casual jammon jammin' puns are so good

I played him back in the day as a beginner. I actually imitated his style a few Black Forest games after that cause I was too slow to be playing PvP at that point, and I figured it would buy me time for a massive military. Memories.

he changed his birthday date in voobly after this video... from 31/12/1949 to 1/1/1950 11 11 11

I played this guy once. Oh god, what a torture!!

I started watching you a lot recently with the LEL. I've heard many tales of the legendary fatslob, but I'd never actually seen him play.

Good god. Love videos like this, more please. Way more interesting than seeing which pro wins because he built a lumbercamp first!

why didnt red just build wonder?

So, what's the problem? Basically he's just good at micro and he never attack, that's all, just get gud or out macro him by destroying the forest so his strategy can't work

Never heard of him, well done T90!

Players like that require outside teh box thinking- plowing woods out from a far-flung corner and rushing from teh side or behind could be more effective than "head on"

Show a game that he loses ... Pls

But why Vikings though?

Man, this never gets old XD

Totally loved this video! GREAT
