NGL, I love these long vids of increasingly deranged Grant!

Grant: "We don't have to kill them, we just have to scare them" Scv right after: "Ahh, You scared me!"

46:32 OK, this interaction made me actually lol M Grant: - 110 seconds on the BC geez SCV: -Wohoo, overtime!...

Grant "we don't have to kill them, we just need to scare them" The Game "Ah! you scared me!"

Hercules: Zapping enemies with shadow fury Also Hercules: "EASYYY"

Grant realizes he has the ultimate virophage snipe in the shockwave banshee, completely stops building them and loses a settlement cuz of it

Probably the coolest part is that the Archipelago randomizer system is built to be a multiworld randomizer, SC2 is just one of the games it supports, and they can be combined into one randomized world. So not only do you have this super cool randomizer, but you can even play it with other people playing other SC2 campaigns, or different games altogether. So performing these objectives could, for instance, send a weapon to Dark Souls 3, or bombs to a Zelda game, and in turn they can send you items too for picking up an item, fighting a boss, or opening a chest. No other RTS games are as yet supported unless you count Factorio, I guess, but the list grows all the time. It's great for if you have no friends that play SC2 but they do play other games, hah.

Oh my god it's jank to hell and back. All nice upgrades... for a different campaign.

I am very excited to watch a solid 7128 seconds of Grant does Games 1:32:20 Also, the best way to describe a signifier is a High Templar with permanent cloaking, and a psi-storm that reduces the target’s armour

So many things to love about this video: - WoL archipelago was one of my favorite runs of yours, and now there's a full game version! yay! - the warp prisms raving in Maw of the Void - Shadow Fury Hercules - the OMBUDSMAN throwback at 1:32:39

One of the best parts about randomizers (imo) is seeing what you get to unlock. I really like how you cut out the boring parts but please leave the unlocks in.

1:16:40 Hive mind emulator actually has a lot of value because you can mind control the ultra jacked aberrations

"We don't have to kill them we just have to scare them" SCV: "Ah! You scared me!" Gotta love well-timed unit responses.

what happened with the shadowfury herc is that SCV's & medics can heal from inside of the herc (& marines can stim in a bunker), so units inside of the herc are coded to be able to cast their spells as long as they dont need to be targeted by the player. when they coded that interaction for the herc the DT didnt have shadowfury yet; they didn't code an exception for the two interactions. they (IIRC) have fixed it but arphipelago apparently uses the old herc code

I sure hope nothing goes wrong

>Shadow Fury Hercules Well.. I think we know what the Hercules is going to do in Memes of Liberty

We are running low on minerals at this location. Additional mineral supplies have been located nearby.

I've been going through all-campaign archipelago randomizers lately too, such an incredibly fun way to play. In the early game you're carefully picking and choosing any mission you think you can complete with your current units or sometimes you're so desperate that you're willing to go into a mission you know you can't win just to grab some bonus objectives to unlock some stuff before you lose. Then in the late game you're crazy OP with everything so you get to really mix and match cool combinations of units and explore beating missions with units you usually wouldn't have at that part of the game

Game: You unlocked vehicle weapons upgrade level 1. Congratulations!! Mr. Games: Alright! It's mech time! We've already unlocked the cyclone. Cyclone Lockon damage: Spell type. Not affected by upgrades. (At least I think it's that version.)

8:50 It's fine, Grant. It's Archipelago, so I don't doubt the randomiser will happily frontload you with every fire-related thing it can throw at you.

My only disappointment with the vod (and its more myself for not having patience in retrospect) is that in my eagerness to consume more Grant content, i watched the vod on twitch like 2 weeks ago.

46:10 Grant: "That's fun" BC: *"Oh, really?"* I just can't 😂😂💀

Happy to see the Archipelago mod return - Grant getting trolled by fire units, fire units and more fire units across the start of the original mod showcase is easily one of my favourite moments (well more like an entire arc than a moment really) across all of Grant's uploaded playthroughs so far.

Holy shit, I didn't know Archipelago had the trilogy in the system.

With all the disclaimers, I was expecting this to be a slog of restarts and Grant being super pissed. Brother, you gotta believe in yourself more! The video was fine, and fun to watch.

Co-Op Archipelago would be a hell of an adventure.

Thanks for publishing and editing the VOD Grant! Also, thanks for unedited version! Quite the adventure you got!

Thank you Grant for editing these together. I already watched the vods but will check this out as well

Thank you for posting this as someone who just doesn’t enjoy watching livestreams

Ah man my friend and I have been begging for this -- We loved archipelago WoL. Thank you so much

I greatly enjoyed this series of streams, I'm very happy to see the VODs saved

Thanks for your videos and all the good vibes you put out. Your videos always come out shortly after I get off work and have become part of my nightly relaxing and decompressing before bed.

I've been running this challenge myself right now and would love to see what happens to Grant - let's go! (comments later) 9:40 Yes there's options for extra (multiplayer, NPC) units/BW units and if enabled you can find them. There's also waaaay more upgrades for units than you think. Also also, in addition to units upgrades include: Kerrigan abilities, Kerry levels, Primal Kerry, Spear of Adun abilities/passives, Nova weapons/Abilities/equipment. 15:52 You did ask for *a* unit... 25:10 Some of things you can find are lower resource costs for units and starting resources. 35:40 She has full HP/energy! Mengsk was right - she's completely untrustworthy. 52:20 What an amazing bug - even the adjutant wants to troll Grant! 59:14 That's the line for when the Mothership spawns. It's a line that no one's ever heard because it happens in a cutscene but you're hearing it because cutscenes are disabled. 1:08:05 ROFL 🤣 Did they SF from *inside* the herc?! 1:17:30 It depends on what option you selected upon generating the run. Upgrades can be individual, bundled by unit type, bundled by upgrade type, or bundled all in one (all base stats of all units of a race are upgraded by one level).

This is good. I enjoyed it live time to enjoy it again.

These videos are legit so good Grant! Big fan of this format!!

I really enjoy the format of this video.

i have been waiting for this to come out, i can't wait to see the next bits

Oh baby, ive been waiting for this one

Please upload the perpetual randomizer. It is very interesting and enjoyable AND funny !

1:01:05 Grant: That's pretty good SCV: Yup!

Too far into a long stream to realize at the time, but every three cyclones on the last mission could have been one BC, which while it sucks without upgrades, at least has the benefit of not being able to be hit by the brood lords. BC/banshee was always the best way to get that mission done.

The final rip-field generator (and the 2nd to last one) have no detection near them once those 3 canons north are cleared. They can be taken with DT with 0 danger. The central generator (which is usually camped by 2 carriers) can also be taken by DTs without issue.

Yay Grant uploaded randomiser!

Full campaign archipelago randomizer. Oh boy, this will be a fun one.

This campaign is jank [the good kind] incarnate. I love it

Grant, you always make me laugh. Thanks for all you do. :)

That Hercules

I'm pretty sure he got Marines unlocked for a while now.

Iirc the Cyclone's Lock On behaves like Widow Mines - only one Cyclone will Lock On to a particular enemy, unless you manually order the rest to target that same enemy. In any case, thanks Grant for uploading these. Always wanted to try the Archipelago randomiser, but could never figure out how to get it to work.

Hell, its about time

Mr Games, Archipelago is a lot of fun!

the banshee didnt fall out of use in multiplayer bc Blizzard balanced them to no longer be instantly game-ending, they fell off because they added the Liberator to the game which is way better at what the banshee does, does it safely with nearly or more than twice the range, costs about the same AND can be reactored edit: oh yeah and it has an AA attack. its not useful, but its interesting to note that the tech lab banshee was decided to be too strong & any amount of them must be hard-countered by a single AA fly, but the far superior reactor liberator which can't be countered by ground units at all must also be able to win some air fights. just to give an idea of how Blizzard feels about race balancing (they dont)

when grant mentions tank on train mission is a meme during my randomizer run i had the Draken laser drill that made it a meme the trains would not even exit the tunnel lmao

Part 1, 2h 😂 thank you Grant !

Nah, Shadow Fury Hercules is perfectly lore accurate.

Did you know that we are runnning low on minerals at this location, and that there have been additional mineral supplies located nearby?

I feel like...and I understand Grant played for along time and was tired and probably forgot, but during Haven's Fall... wouldnt it have been easier to mass Marine and stutter step? Even without upgrades and stim, a massive ball of marines can mow down alot. Could even pair them with Tanks/Warhound/Cyclone

I don't mind VODs at all, just kinda wish we could see chat to see what you're reacting to. But I do understand if anything bad happened in chat, it will show here too and is more work to include chat in the vod

I think Grant should flex Archipelago more. Maybe play simultaneously with Jay or someone, try to help each other beat their respective randomized campaigns!

00:00 Intro 03:00 Mission 1 15:40 Mission 2 17:30 Mission 3 26:00 Mission 4 44:30 Mission 5 1:11:14 Mission 6 (attempt 2) 1:15:00 Mission 7

Good luck to anyone trying to make sense of this timeline in a linear narrative.

grant is super nice and newer swears

Grant styled on that cannon at 1:02:20

Archipelago has an issue, it gets less interesting the further you progress since eventually it becomes just normal missions.

eyyy, an actual archive stream on archives, what did you do to the real Grant? ^^ (That being said, I personally really enjoy long form content, perferably unedited)

1:43:39 we just have to scare them. AH you scared me

Can't help but wonder if this last mission wouldn't have been about a million times easier if Grant stuck with his BC guns. Bad as the BC is, I think the cyclone is worse as a front-line unit. At least the BC has good anti-muta guns and immunity to brood lords.

Let the pain begin. Let the entertainment top.

Did you know, we are running low on minerals at this location, but additional mineral supplies have been located nearby ?

It's raining outside and we get 4 hours of Grant in the last 2 days, how convenient 😂

Ah yes, I love seeing my favourite content creator slowly losing his sanity 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Oh my GOD it's HUGE

a great predator is a worthy reward for the final mission.

5 broods killing like 60supply is not something I thought I'd see.

SC2 has Archipelago Randomizer while SC1 didn't, because it would take reverse engineering the source code to make it happen

me when i just got towards the end of the archipelago vods on twitch 🙂

these longer videos take me multiple attempts to finish because of work but i love them nontheless

44:00 Report Kerrigan for throwing a match

I've never seen you use those DTs you get for home base defense. A handful left over there would kill any drops.

I played it myself and it is amazing

Unlocked Marine: WoL is now completable

ooh a piece of candy

oh boi do I love cyclone spam

Yes.

Thanks for great video! Just installed that randomizer, how can I open missions grid UI? 1:10

havens fall focusing hivemind emulators is actually really fun you build like 5 emulators at each settlement then just hang around as you build an army of zerg

I haven't even fucking caught up to the WoL one oh god.

I guess we are gonna have Zero Hour with Siege tank eventually? xD

I wanna see an Archipelago variation where both you and the enemy start with nothing and get some upgrades as you progress

Longer videos are my favorite

With 85 missions, the empty slot should have been where the player starts, with a choice, instead of no choice at all.

YES! edit: SCRATCH THAT UNCUT IT IS!

I jad a idea for haven. We could build hivemind emulator on the colonies before zerg comes to infest it. Like that we could still a bunch of zerg air every turn.

Love the Archipelago mod Mr Games, moar pls

ok im gonna sound dumb but where do you find this? i searched the discord and the in game client and i couldnt find it

R.I.P. spine crawler family 🙏🙏😔😛

NGL, I did *not* think the last adjective in that intro was going to be shindig 😅 Advanced Optics are good for PR. No idea how they work in SC2 though 🤪

Lovelly

IS THIS A JOJO REFERENCE?!

Wow Hercules imba
