I spoke a bit soon, but be on the lookout for a 1M video sooner or later. Still getting a bit caught up on things after a couple recent trips, so it'll be here sooner or later -- hope you enjoy! RCT is one of my favorites to revisit.

Your philosopher like narration makes this channel so unique and enjoyable to watch

Youre the only creator who can make a 10 minute video feel like I just watched an hour of content.

Always a treat when Amphibian starts playing Clair de Lune.

it's nearly halloween. the dead bodies lining the ocean floor merely add to the spooky ambiance.

This was more in the style of his earlier, philosophical vids, yet keeping the nicer editing and lighter tone more apparent of his current videos. Good balance

you're narration is unbelievably smooth and detailed, you must be an amazingly fast script writer!

9:19 "At last, I tied it all up with an observation ride so that the guests too could feast their eyes on this visual aneurysm." lmao!

This "hmmm" in the first second caught me off guard xd

2:10 Immediately after pointing out that the shading-free isometric 2.5d visuals mess with your brain, he makes an impossible waterfall.

He put the water on the water. He's a witch!

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

I'd honestly watch nothing but AA playing RCT, this is golden!

I love that the water slide tubes explode into flames when they crash into each other. 😹 I still go back to this game every few years; one of my absolute faves!!!

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...

Hey Amphibian, you obviously don't know me but I want to congratulate you on getting 1 million subs on KZfaq, I've been around since Torsolo and watching you grow from a few thousand to a million subscribers is truly amazing, love the philosophical narration and keep up the great content!

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

If you love roller coaster tycoon i could really recommend Marcel Vos' videos on it. Like the longest roller coaster. Kind of a cult classic at this point.

This whole series is meditatively calming for me.

Absolutely loved RCT2 as a kid. Fond memories of my mom showing me how a computer worked and then popping this CD in, hearing the clatter of the chains on the intro screen, and the screams of happiness right before jumping in. Such a special game, the first and the second, they will always hold a place in my heart. Thank you AA for making these videos about such a wonderful game.

Man, RCT is such a nastalgic game. Such a specific era of my life where i knew nothing of economic managment and was listening to the park ASMR on my grandma's PC in the basement

Your narratives are amazing! Have you considered writing a book about a magical boy wizard fighting an evil wizard while attending a school of some kind?

4:00 hearing amphibians sentence get cut off as the customers wanted to the air and into the water had me in tears

Its funny how detailed and interesting such a simple game like this is

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

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

AA, your videos are so consistently high quality, and you upload so regularily, I love it. I also like the way you don't use clickbaity or attention grabby tactics, all the videos are just what you want to do, but presented so interestingly they're all gripping. No joke, I've watched the whole channel's videos and am currently working my way through the VODs channel too.

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

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!

I truly love your narrative style - the philosophical musings and calm delivery combine well with your unique sense of humor.

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

Finally we found him again!

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

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

WATER PARK! WATER PARK! WATER PARK!

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.

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

9:28 This perfectly encapsulates what I feel whenever I get engrossed in any builder-type game, whether it's Cities Skylines or Dragon Quest Builders. You have a real knack for words, AA!

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

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

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

RCT just keeps giving… so many childhood memories. Thank you for the memory ride!

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.

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

I would love to listen to an audiobook narrated by him haha.

"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.

Man I'm so happy for you to find a niche of making these challenge videos, I love watching them every time you post a new one!

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

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

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 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.

I was binging your videos a few days ago, you've become one of my favourite channels atm and have really made me appreciate management as a game genre, keep up the great work :)

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

2:56 A wooden coaster with steel fasteners by sea water is one of those concepts that is terrifying to me. Just rotting wood beams and incredibly quick rust on all the bolts...

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 🔥

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

Love this return to the existential philosophy in early video games

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

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

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

“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!

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.

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

Gosh, this game is an absolute masterpiece.

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

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

Ambiguous Amphibian I just wanted to thank you for putting out some of the best content I've seen. Two years ago I was an alcoholic and suicidal. But you genuinely made me want to play RimWorld and kenshi with the torsolo videos, and things like the whole world meteor playthrough. I genuinely used to feel like torsolo with even the simplest tasks feeling completely impossible but little by little you made me want to play silly games and I found my self doing that more than drinking and not hating my life as much. Eventually I got some much needed help and I don't think I would have without you a funny internet frog man introducing me to wonderful games. Thank you for making my favorite content online. (Btw I miss RimWorld and project zomboid lmafo) Thanks for being based

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.

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

It amazes me that Tom Sawyer made RTC and RTC2 in assembly. It is like typing out a receipt in order to ride a bike

this has to be one of your best scripts yet. i laughed at "and then i rested"

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

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

I just start laughing whenever Clair du Lune starts playing now, it's always the start of his best philosophical semi-shitposting

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 was taking a drink of my coffee and your Morpheus reference almost caused me to spit coffee all of my computer monitor - almost.

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

That "HMM!" at the beginning cracked me up so bad :'D

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

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.

"This time I'm going to build a water park on top of water. Bizarre." You call that bizarre, I call it the natural opposite of a regular air park underneath air.

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

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

You can't be more American Corpo than: "One lawsuit later, we are back."

I remember playing this as a kid and placing one of the paddle boat rides with no guides so people would just paddle out into open water and be out there for years

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

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.

"A chicken noodle soup of kinetic energy and friction" That's a new sentence if I've ever heard one.

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

Man, Roller Coaster Tycoon is a legend for a reason. What a fantastic game.

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

Oh my god the first second of the video is what I've always wanted to hear out of him, a good hearty "HM" while showing his avatar of Kermit with a scrunched up face, lmao

"Cylinder 1" and "Cylinder 2", for a merry-go-round and ferris wheel, the pinnacle of branding.

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

Ah, the classic Bumper Car/Merry-Go-Round dilemma. Didn't expect that, of all things, to come up today. Good times....

Without a doubt you are one gentleamphibian that I would love to sit down with and drink tea (or coffee, beer...or pond water? What do amphibians prefer?). The other comments have said it all, and I wholly concur. You're talented, tasteful, and deserving of the 1mil subscriber achievement. Well done :-)

i was so unprepared for that HMMMM that i uncontrollably laughed out loud for several minutes

I feel like AA is so good at script writing that he could somehow make monologues about the most mundane thing entertaining as heck 😂

when he says "this celebration of what computers are capable of" at the end is more like "celebration of what Chris Sawyer is capable of". John Carmack -level programmer god.
