Looking on the Bright Side: Positive Changes Since 2020 

The bright side is, I didnt actually unsubscribe from you.

George, 2 years ago I bumped into you at Magfest and we had a really good chat about games we played throughout the year and projects and work stress etc. It was short but meant a lot to me and we parted ways because a crowd was forming. Later that night, I opened the door to Rosa's Mexicana with a big group of friends and you were right on the other side, leaving, and with the most annoyed look on your face that my friends and I were blocking your way. We made eye contact for a second and I knew you recognized me, briefly, but it was too late and we were again on opposite sides of the door. I just want to say that I cherish that moment, I'm sorry for getting in your way, and everything has been worse since that moment. Maybe 2022 will break that curse on both of us. Here's to a new year 💕

6:10 I am pleased to report that after long years of you using this clip to its full power, I have only just now noticed the rod that makes this thing work.

I heard the bitterness in that statement George but we're all glad you're doing journalism again, primary research has always been the thing that separated Bunnyhop from the legions of other gaming channels

You're doing a great job George. We're all real proud of you.

"Watch to the end for me to have fun with this" takes on a much different meaning when you're advertising for an adult toy company.

Hoppy New Year everyone! Long as George is out there saying his piece, I know there's something worth waiting for in the year to come~ Which means a lot these days.

If you ever see this George, I tuned in after a long while and to see the perfect usage of the floating noodles after all this time brightened my heart in these dark days and gave me a much needed chuckle. Thank you

I think the take away with the "working at home vs working in an office" should be that if work from can be viable and the employee can do the work from home then it should be an option for them. More options are usually better than less options, in my opinion.

Definitely wasn't expecting to hear about Rollback Netcode in this video, lol. Thanks for covering it!

The big downside of GDC shutting down in person was that it was THE industry event where young devs got their foot in the door. The price tag being a huge gate keeper before, now the pandemic has caused the industry to close ranks even further in the AAA space, even with the advent of work from home.

The Woolie interview was a crossover I did not expect, but nonetheless welcome.

This two years have been hard on everyone. Some of my co workers were stuck in ships for almost 1.5 years since no country was allowing disemberkation at the beginning of the pandemic. Thankfully things are improving a little. It could have improved a lot faster but the ignorance I have seen all around the world this year makes me realise how zombie apocalypse movies are totally unrealistic and world would be destroyed a lot sooner in those cases.

As somone who's finally got into fighting games this year thanks to the new push for rollback I am very suprised to see it mentioned here but pleasingly so. One of the things that made fighting games inaccessible for so many people is simply not being able to attend local scenes, be it for difficulties getting there or simply a total lack of them and while most games have large communities that play the game online, fighting games are usually their own small circles so unless you've got a group of friends into the same games as you and that live close to you, good luck playing it online with high ping and delayed inputs in a genre where consistency can define matches.

Turned out great, George! Thanks for being such a great interviewer!

Learning Victoria 2 mechanics right now, and I love imagining all of this with the reforms and pops in my head. Plays out so well, and fascinating to see the jumbled mess of genuine reforms and draconic measures

We love you, George! Whatever you are going through, Dude, be strong!!

6:09 needed to see this to start this year with a bang

Mr. Bunnyhop, you have no idea how happy I am to see you again. I wish you the best! What a nice way to start of 2022, really :)

Hey, I'm just glad to see that despite it all you're still here, doing what you can. I remember watching your videos all the way back in 2014, when I was in *elementary* school, so there's something always comforting about still seeing you around doing good work after everything. I think I remember playing games on Steam with you once? At least at one point we did - I don't remember much about that lol I joined the games industry in recent years and certainly have a lot to say about what it was like working through this pandemic (and continuing to do so). The few videos you've done in the past two years are some of your best work and I hope 2022 kicks ass for you!

Among the few and far between positives of 2021, one that stands out for me was the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope. Hubble has done so much with its 30 year old tech over the past few decades and now we have a successor made with modern technology. I look forward to the cool stuff it will show us and the games inpsired by those discoveries.

Happy new year Mr.superbunnyhop....glad to see you back

I'm so glad you did this video I feel like because the last couple years have been so hard it's difficult to talk about the positives without sounding bad but it's important to look for those in life

just wanna clarify that while SFV does have rollback, it has a really shoddy implementation of it that leads to a ton of one-sided rollbacks (one player sees the match perfectly fine, the other one is stuck in a nightmare of constant teleporting and jerking around the screen nonstop) so it shouldn't really be mentioned alongside the other titles in that segment Guilty Gear Strive should replace it in your memory as the big japanese fighting game that finally adopted good netplay.

Glad to hear from you again George! Hope to hear ya back on Dad and Sons again soon, love hearing you talk with the fellas.

I am so happy to see Josh Foreman landed on his feet at Mythical. He was laid off Arenanet a few years back and his work is stellar.

Hey! It's Josh Foreman! I'm so glad that he landed alright after the Anet layoffs. Was nice seeing him. As a side note, I really appreciate your channel. I might sometimes watch videos later (am almost a month later on this one), but I pretty much always watch your videos eventually, and I really appreciate 'you doing journalism' things. Here's to a better? 2022. And your dog is very cute.

Hi George, your work inspires me. Thank you for all the videos in 2021 and happy new year.

Oh my god, the fact that those ramen chopsticks are being pushed up and down by a pole hidden between the noodles and not pulled by a set of translucent strings just clicked for me.

I know this year was rough. Definitely take your time to recover from that, but I really just want to express how much every video you release makes my day. easily my favorite content on this whole platform and I'll get excited over whatever you feel like talking about.

Thanks for pushing through. Your content has been great through the years and continues to be. Hopefully the world gets to a place at least slightly less existentially depressing soon.

inscryption is so good though, I'm a fighting game nerd and they got me to play trading card games for 15 hours in 2 days. Also rollback is huge, guilty gear strive is like the firsy fighting game where I will log in specifically because the netcode is so good [which does kinda suck as a tekken fan]

I feel so weird that 2020 and 2021 were actually good years for me lol

Still here buddy! Haven't watched much since the mgs videos but I'm still here

This is your best comb over so far George. You've come a long way. Could just be the lighting tho.

Thank you for the video and the good vibes, George. We really appreciate it.

Best Adam and Eve ad channel

I WENT HYPE WHEN I HEARD WOOLIE'S VOICE

Thank you for the video, George!

I pity anyone who skipped the ad, that was genuinely funny. And having Woolie as a guest talking about rollback was nothing short of a pleasant surprise. Didn't think you'd care to cover it, but thanks for that George. And for doing, as Sonic's theme says "Never give up the fight"

2022 is off to a solid start with a George video. Who agrees?

6:09 to see an old friend

Haha wow thanks for covering rollback netcode, for FG fans it really has been quite the positive 2 years

Fun fact: Woolie Madden was the first vocalist on the second-best version of "Unknown From M.E.," aka Knuckle's theme from Sonic Adventure 2. And he fucking crushed it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VuBxgEdyNpo.html Here's the first-best: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FXglHbYB1Y4.html Happy New Year!

after such a rough year, it's good to see something like this. thank you.

best thing about home office is that whiskey look like tea on cam meeting

Oh damn I never heard the term "roll back netcode," time to learn about it. I just assumed that the problem that "roll back netcode" is designed to address was implemented in every fighting game where internet latency is so important, without knowing the term for it.

Your voice is unique on youtube. Don't lose hope George, you're super good!

Nice channel, actual YT video journalism - better than a good deal of the print stuff

You have gotten good use out of that Japanese Noodle clip

Good to see you again!

People stuck at home are playing video games? Video games don't have to be about grand presentations, conventions, and big budget marketing? Video games are about having fun rather than exposure? This is uplifting news! Also, thank you Adam & Eve for sponsoring George.

New year, New bunnyhop.

*reading Thus Spoke Zarathustra* "things that should be bringing me joy...just don't cut it anymore" Josh I fucking love you

That noodle footage has done the miles alright

There is no way that ALL and every kind of crunch is a natural phenomenon.

George - glad to see the dog and adam n eve have made a difference 🤣. Seriously though, glad to see you're still at it. The light at the end of the tunnel is sunshine, not a train. Get through this dark part and you'll reach the peace you're looking for.

what's the song in the background for the roll back netcode section, shits fire

Hey George, happy new year as well. Hopefully it gets better!

It's always a good day when George posts a video.

That ad spot came totally out of the blue

The whole video I kept thinking of ways how to make the piston of that ramen noodle mechanism hidden.

man you just love that clip of the pasta bobbing up and down dontcha

Glad to see you doing well George :)

George, you're aging relatively gracefully, but please stop trying the comb over. Looking good tho, just go to a barbershop and say you're balding and don't know what to do, they'll fix you up, and respect you for your realistic take on the situation. Be happy you can grow a badass beard.

I really liked the format / content of this video!

Also, that is the best ad I've ever seen for Adam & Eve. :)

That Adam and Eve Commercial earned your video the like - So good , sooo good

happy new year bunnyhop

6:19 you really love that clip.

That sonic R bgm is so relaxing.

Thanks for the vid. Always great.

You’ll always be a legend to me homie

I can absolutely see working from home being a viable option for those who work primarily with computers. Ask teachers what they think about it. And they're the ones who have to go in at 6AM

Ahhhhh the noodles are back!, 2022 can't be that bad

The very first video I watched from you is the Resident Evil 4 definitive edition review. Since Then I've never unsubscribe from you because I want to be as objective and intelligent as you are when it comes to sharing thoughts.

I always joy when I see a new upload. Thx Bunnyhop you are super!

Welcome back, George 😀

I honestly didn't know you still existed. I do occasionally revist your MGS stuff cause they are amazing but I thought you abandoned yt

Never stop man. You are really good at this.

Edit: Hope this one is age restricted based on the sponsor. Ah, I forgot George was a fellow GA resident. I wasn't too sad the ASO shut down that concert. Once I saw their out-of-touch policies (out of touch with the rest of the state), I preemptively got a refund.

You make my life better, George. I'm glad you exist.

6:40 PREACH!

“since people are permanently dying this time” Or in gamer terms, the devs introduced a new and highly controversial PvP permadeath mechanic

11:48 Madden: "When other Japanese studios--" Me: "MUST KEEP ON MOVING AHEAD--!" Why freaking City Escape, man?

I'm late but so happy i didn't miss this and stuck to the end. Funny had me laughing so damn hard hahaha

Appreciate your honesty about the last few years being especially difficult for you and hoping you get feeling better. As a huge Melee fan I'm a little sad you didn't mention Melees Slippi implementation as it was entirely conducted by one person and had huge ramifications for nintendo and the melees communities further divorce. Might be an interesting topic to delve into.

Always nice to hear from the Woolster.

#3 you forgot to mention Fantasy Strike, the king of rollback netcode.

At this point I'm waiting for a Cialis commercial protagonized by Super Bunnyhop George.

Easily the best video of the year!

Thx for the vid homedog

Hey, Superbunnyhop. Hope your Christmas was at least good.

God, it’s good to see you talking about topics again! “Look on the bright si~iiiiide of life!” *whistles*

Crunch is a failure of management. That's all there is to it. If your company has crunch, its managers are incompetent. It's their job to manage the scope and timeline, and crunch is the result when they have failed to do so. If there's more shit to do than you can do, you either take away some shit, or you extend the timeline. This is a basic concept that eludes most people who find themselves in management positions.

I like the idea that Escape from the City is Woolie’s theme more than Sonic’s

Hey, I don't know if you read comments, but if so - I just watched this on Nebula and the links in the description on there are broken.

Happy new year george!

Thanks for the vid

Journalism!! I miss you doing stuff in this style, would love to see more
