Hbomberguy's 100K Q&A! 

Kinda sad that Shaun was just sitting in the background without saying something

Face reveal at 250k?

how old are you? *talks about his hair for 2min straight*

When you start making videos about obscure video games people might mistake you for JonTron, and then you can go all LOTR and say, "I am JonTron. Or rather JonTron as he should have been."

Is Contra holding you hostage or did you just get inspired by her colourful lighting?

Gotta respect the foreshadowing bi mood lighting

"What's your advice on long-distance relationships?" "Fuck." Jesus, Harris, listen to the question!

Unsubbed, Hbomb isn't single, I have no reason to be subbed.

It’s so funny that in this 3 year old Q&A harris brings up like 11 different videos he’s working on but none of them ever got made lok

"Read Mein Kampf!" - Harris Bomberguy, 2017

Your piercing blue eyes are intimidating please no close ups

"i dont really care about my appearance" *cut to a camera that shows the cutest boy in youtube (hbomb)*

I like that in the time it took to make this you now have 171k subscribers. ... That's not a dig at your release schedule, I promise.

when asked about your favourite fanfiction i legit thought you'd answer davis aurinis fallout fanfic

16:25 he made 22 videos between this an the deus ex video, multiple hour long videos. amazing

"One time I died." --hbomberguy, 2017

I don't know why I'm so surprised but you seem so incredibly clever. Your video on BBC Sherlock is a fucking piece of art and I've seen it a total of four times from beginning to end. I think I love you? I love you.

For those interested, Hbomberguy's Reading List: 1. Applied Psychology by Graham Davey 2. Literary Theory: An Anthology by Julie Rivkin and Michael Ryan 3. Gender Trouble by Judith Butler 4. Conquest of Bread by Peter Kropotkin 5. Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paulo Freire 6. The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvoir 7. The Origins of Totalitarianism by Hannah Arendt 8. Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler

I love how hbomberguy is both the most personal yter and the most distand both at the same time I feel when watchin his vids that im with him in the trenchs or behind the camera but when that vid ends hes gone Hes the cool friend who shows up to liven the party and then leaves in a mad max way The meaning of this is we need more vids harris Much love!

"You can't let yourself care about your appearance when you look like me, it would destroy you." I'm dying.

hbomb going "it's probably the most extravagant thing i've ever done" at 2:00 is so cute when you watch this vid right after seeing him getting birthed out of loss.jpg

I love the simplicity and humble brilliance of just recommending the introduction of an introductory textbook as an introduction to a topic.

Him not expecting to remember his own age is a mood.

Going from My Immortal to Social Psychology is the perfect analogy for this channels content.

Hbomb? Did YOU write My Immortal? Is that how you know it's a parody? The answer, functionally, is irrelevant. I will now believe this no matter what you say.

Congratulations on finishing that long project you mention at 16:22, I've just finished watching all 3 and a half hours and now I'm off to reinstall the original Deus-Ex

Harris youve promised like 6 videos in this one. Be careful.

Is it possible to be friends with someone with alt-right views - "It's possible but its usually people who have nothing to lose from their point" - Really appreciated this answer, thank you

Before I found your videos, i had found myself falling into the trap of the alt-light youtube "rational skeptics" community. I was a big fan of Sargon and his ilk and had just assumed that they had done their research when talking about whatever they were crying about that week. Your videos showed me how not only was their research poorly conducted, it often wasn't conducted at all. That these rational skeptics were hardly rational or honest in their skepticism. Also Sherlock is garbage and Fallout 3 is garbage and I'm glad you had the guts to call them out. I'm still disappointed you didn't mention Wasteland 2 in your video though. That game is great.

i saw the "my immortal" pick from 18 miles away and it was just as satisfying as i was hoping

"Whatever story you turn up isn't as interesting as the story you experience just playing it normally." I loved this quote. It hits on my pet peeves about inspecting things for canon. Thank you for putting it into words.

I came here after the deus ex video and was shocked to hear it was in the works for 4 years. Long term project indeed. Then again thats probably pretty fast for hbomberguy.

Did you just tell everyone to Read. The. Bread. Book? Good stuff.

Hbomberguy, why did Contrapoints force you and Shaun to make a ransom video?

My favourite piece of fan fiction is "Paradise Lost." Shut up, yes it is.

30 minutes of fox from the west asking questions about centrism.

Congrats on so many subscribers! :) If it weren't for you, I'd have never discovered LeftTube. Yall have improved my life so much.

So now you've told us about it, the world needs to see this Milo Snuffleupagus tribute/parody. Please.

very looking forward to the 2 hour video about homestuck coming out in 2022

There is a black dot to the left of the screen and I thought it was on my iPad, but no, it is on your wall!

i love you hbomberdad

How to pirate a bachelor's degree: Go to a university bookstore Read the introduction of every book that has one Rinse, repeat

I would actually love to see the 2 hour documentary of a music video you never finished.

You are a damn beast Harris, I love you.

16:58 oh god I just had this conversation literally an hour ago. It was not fun. I mean it wasn't exactly the same but more like I just casually mentioned how I was worried that a hobby I'm interested in might also be popular among the far right and actual nazis and how I wouldn't want to hang out with nazis and then a bunch of people all started interrogating me about why not, as if I'd just said "all right wingers are bad people and should be shunned from society" rather than "I personally do not want to interract with fucking nazis when I'm supposed to be having fun." They seemed to really want to flaunt their rational and calm open-mindedness. And basically their point seemed to be that I should have no problems hanging out with nazis as long as we're not talking about politics because the nazis might be perfectly nice people in their every day life after all! It's just politics!

You're getting cuter each video I swear

Deus Ex just came out a month ago. I legit admire the dedication to keep on going for 4 years. Goddamn.

It's strange, this doesn't show up in my subscriptions feed even though it's been out for about an hour. Is This channel being drowned by the algorithm becaus it has bomb in the name?

"how old are you?" * starts deeply ranting about baldness, appearence and self esteem *

Bald Hbomberguy is going to look just like Macavoys Professor X. Can't wait! Hopefully the hair loss doesn't put you in a wheelchair...

It's really nice to see you being sincere! Not only that, you answered each question much more thoroughly than most RU-vidrs would have bothered to, with really detailed insights into your opinions and your perspectives. A kind of ultra-sincerity. I love the persona you use for videos, it's hilarious, but it's also definitely a treat to see this side of you.

So crazy, I subscribed way back in your SA Lettus Play videos. It is good to see you turn this internet thing into a real thing. Congratulations!

honestly it's been 2 years and I'd still love to see the "making of" doc from the milo vid you didn't finish

Hbomb. It’s been 6 years, please god make the Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines video 😭😭

Revisiting this after some years and both sad to remember all the videos that Harry was working on that have yet to be released, and yet happy to remember all the astonishing works that were finalized.

Really glad I discovered your channel. Seeing so many youtubers and people in comment sections spout far right messages is so tiring. You're a really clever guy keep doing what you're doing!

I really liked your point in understanding what a subject is before giving a reading list. In my country, there's this publishing company who published "What is: Mathematics" "What is: Psychology" "What is: Football" etc etc and I am ADDICTED. I NEED to know what things are now before I get into them. It's so useful!

Finally! It's tail time!

i'd realllly love to see the obscure games series come to fruition. i love video essays about weird shitty games from days of yore, but you make by far some of the best and most engaging essay-style videos on this website! Keep up the great work!

30:26 I've watched this a few times (as background noise mostly) and this is the first time I've noticed you mention Noah Galdwell-Gervais. Recently realised I was subbed to his channel from when he announced him moving into a camper van, but didn't really watch anything of his until very recently when I just fucking binged a shit ton of his videos. Dude is fantastic. He's the reason I replayed the entire Mass Effect franchise, and then the Mass Effect trilogy again right afterwards and I feel like I have an appreciation for the series more than I ever have. Anyway. Easily my favourite Youbube game essayist person.

11:08 READ THE BREAD BOOK

1:43 "one time I _died"_ Okay so, I know this next bit happens to English natives as well, but I can't stress enough how enjoyable it is to be a non -native, have yourself _know_ he means "dyed", but in th same moment your brain freaks out because the first word you've learned that os pronounced this way is the death one. The inherent humor that comes from that split-second double-take is just so fun. XD

Your videos are so great dude. I love everything you've made and all your video ideas sound amazing. Here's to another 100k subscribers!

I guess this is as good a place as any to thank you for your work. You've inspired me to self-educate myself, look at games with a more critical lens, as well as revitalizing my desire to make videos (I'm a film production college dropout). Also you introduced me to Contra, so thanks for that mate!

This was probably the highest quality Q&A I've seen anywhere on RU-vid ever. Great set, too.

Jesus fucking Christ, Deus Ex was your current long project in October of 2017?!! No wonder it's three and a half hours long

you are the first youtuber that im considering to back. i love your content. its informative and you basicly have the same thoughtprocess as i do. what i love the most is that you are one of the few people who actually admits to be wrong sometimes.

That video idd Noah Gervais' vid on Troika.ea for VtM:B is GOLD! Love

2:37 yknow that slicked back hair looks really good on him. No jokes I would sign up for patreon just to see more of that

favorite moments: "The Origins of dzzvnzz--b-dzzvzz" "I'm basically a cultural...void"

This was really neat! Really liked seeing some of your general philosophy on some aspects, even if I do not agree fully with em. Something I gotta disagree is not so much the problem with The Game Theorists is not aproaching things of a canon perspective, I absolutely love the hell out of that, but that they often seem to REALLY want something to be a certain way, so they deliberatedly ignore data or misinterpret things that are rather obvious in favor of pushing what they want the thing to be (Sans is Ness is the biggest and clearest example of this). I love discussing theories and headcanons, and UT is one of my fav works to do that in. But one thing one has to keep in mind is, you'll likely be wrong on your theory, or see it from a wrong angle, and discussing it is to have a better understanding on where you might be wrong or even how to strengthen your theory and the work as a whole, being willing to drop something if you see it's founded in a wrong place. Also love how UT has tons of clear breadcrumbs you can fit nicely together overall but still having a few empty spaces, that makes it fun! Being able to have multiple theories about 1 thing. But yeah, better to not want something to be that so bad and ignore data or intentionally misinterpret it just to get there.

Really love the vids man! You have some of the best morales I have ever seen, and I hope you get much more attention! Also: 2 days and already 71 thousand more subs? Wow!

So, where is the Deus Ex HR video? It's okay, I can wait...

"you can't care about your appearance when you look like me...it would destroy me!!" - I related to that so much...made me laugh :) thanks

Can't wait for all the videos you mention in this! Sounds like you are working on some good stuff!

It's 2022, 5 years after the publishing of this video, I'm just here, on my 2nd rewatch of this video, jamming and dancing to the elevator background music in this when I should be in bed. Amazing

I'm late to the party but... I read Mein Kampf in 10th grade when my English teacher told me to pick literally book and write a report on it. I thought it was a funny/edgy idea and rolled with it. And the teacher never batted an eye, never told me I shouldn't do it, he read all of my writings with an open mind and encouraged me to learn from it. And now that I watch your video I look back on that and see how awesome of a teacher he was. I would never consider myself even remotely close to supporting the ideology that that book has been used to support, but it gave me a lot of insight to a historical period that I now see unfolding all over again, and helped to awakened my desire to engage with political issues from a young age. Anyways, I liked the humble explanation of your reading list. Thanks for making this video.

"I think it's a crime to think wrong"- Harris Bomberguy, 2017

oh my fucking god he was working on the DE:HR vid for like 4 years?? That's insane lol

For a while I was wondering if you were going to do the whole video wandering from tangent to tangent after that first question. Missed opportunity man. Still, great to hear all this stuff. Keep up the good work. EDIT: Shout out to Prisoner Of Ice!

I remember when you had less than 30k subs and it's so great to see more people discover you ;_;

11:17 QUICK NOTE. if anyone wants to dive into Pedagogy of the Oppressed, *please* make sure you brush up on literary theory/word choice/sentence construction/etc and the foundations of sociology before reading! every sentence is loaded, you're gonna have to read rather slowly to get the full experience and understand the depth of paulo freire's statements.

I am SO HAPPY you mentioned doing a VtM:B video about its aging over time because i feel the EXACT same way about it!!! I remember it as being a super niche action rpg that used vampires in a way that wasn't cringey (re: Twilight) or overdone for its time. I was just really into it-- But then more recently I came across a Let's Play of it and when watching the first part of it--- It felt much different. I began to remember some parts of it (the sex workers that you drink blood from, the "twins" that have a "split personality") and grew worried that much of my love for it was merely skewed by my youthful ignorance towards these topics. Hopefully it isn't as bad as I'm thinking it is, after all the game is very dated now and those are personally the only things I can remember being really bad (besides it being a very oversexualized game, but I'm sure no one's forgotten that lol). I'm really excited to see your take on it! Good luck!

As far as social science primers go I've always found the "Introducing ___" series really good. They're short primers on the given subject, include criticisms of that area/thinker too, and are really good for breaking down what a variety of thinkers in that field had to say and in which books they said it so you can look up more about them. Plus they've got lots of pictures so you don't get bored! I also recently enjoyed Barker & Scheele's Queer: A Graphic History, which is also very thorough and approachable.

This is it. This is the video that made me stop worrying and learn to love Hbomb. I'm excited for every single thing he talked about working on now

I love when impossible things happen just to prove people wrong. The goddamn author of my immortal revealed herself recently. She's actually really happy her awful fan fiction from childhood made so many people so happy. And. It was. Legitimately seriously supposed to be taken at face value. It wasn't a parody. The actual author actually confirmed it. She's also never actually stopped writing, is pretty good now, and has books for sale on Amazon!

its 21 Dec 2023, you are currently at 1.55 million subscribers, after dropping the biggest bomb imaginable. fancy doing another Q and A?? Merry Christmas (happy holidays, I know your work tehehe) from NZ

HbomberGuy!! Love the video, thanks for being so great and interesting and funny and explaining fun and amazing things!

Please do a Dishonored video, That'd be great.

#freeShaun

I'm loving this channel 10 times more intensively after you featured Judith Butler's book 💜

You're one of the more insightful and thoughtful personalities on RU-vid. I don't necessarily agree with you 100% of the time, but you always articulate yourself in a way that makes it easy to see where you're coming from, and that type of perspective is always welcome. Also you fuck with the alt-right, and we can't have too many people doing that :) My point being simply that I'm proud to be one of your subscribers, and I look forward to seeing that notification every time you put something new up!

Vampire Bloodlines is still an incredible RPG, especially with an unofficial patch that's *still* being worked on by fans today with frequent updates.

Nightfall on Middle-Earth is my favorite.

I‘m a bit late to the party, but congrats! Now please make more content, I‘ve watched all of your backlog already?!

Really liking the new setup. Progress of a kind.

jews are pretty cool

You've been my favorite youtuber since I saw your Bloodborne video. Keep up the great moves!

I would love to see your video game one day. I'm certain whatever your idea is/was it would be amazing.

Just a suggestion for your music : dragonforce I love your vids, they are funny and insightful so I must say thank you
