questions and australians 

"What's the most cancerous community in your opinion?" *switches to csgo gameplay*

Why haven't you chosen the clearly superior Basking shark as an avatar?

I find your dry and fast paced delivery on your channel insipid and mentally draining to constantly listen to. Subbed

Love how all his favorites on chrome were "Not gay porn"

Owls are one of the most majestic fucking birds.

You think you have me fooled? The owl is clearly your fursona.

You could have just said it's your fursona.

Recently found your channel, and this was blast to watch. You are great, pal)

Why do you use an owl to represent you?

Why use owls? Owls are flying cats. They are superior or equal to cats in every way. We should replace all cat videos with owl videos. Did I mention I love owls?

EDIT: GAME LIST (WITH TIMECODES) HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE DESCRIPTION, SORRY I FORGOT TO DO THAT BEFORE Edit 2: Pyro and I know each other, he's subbed. It was a joke. He knew I was gonna make fun of him. so it turns out the outro for this video is too long so the endcard starts late. whoops. Alright, well like I said in the video, if you want to find more of Jake's or The Whalers' music you can find them at soundcloud.com/jake-bardin and whalersband.com respectively. They rock, so you should definitely check 'em out. Anyways, I don't really have a whole lot to say about this one, as it was fairly basic. Would've uploaded sooner but I had a lot of shit going on around New Years, sorry 'bout that. And if you hadn't figured it out from this video, my next review is for Titanfall 2, so y'all can stop harassing me now. There are quite a few questions I was asked that I didn't feel fit well into the video, so if you had any that I didn't answer here feel free to ask me now. I'll try to respond to as many as I can as long as they aren't weirdly personal or anything. Oh, I made a Patreon by the way. The rewards are a bit shithouse but I'll talk about that whenever I get around to making a video to announce it "officially" or whatever. If you wanna get ahead of the curve and donate now it's patreon.com/shammy, but if you don't want to please don't feel pressured to, just watching and sharing my ramblings is more than enough for me. Oh also I'm easier to get into contact with on twitter, so if you wanna hit me up there: twitter.com/shammytv

Hey I just found your channel And is there any reason you chose an owl to represent yourself

in retrospect, it's so funny how we all believed that maybe just maybe Shammy would start doing videos on the regular. Glad you're back dude.

furrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

**talks about leavy; shows cs:go surfing**

Just found this channel a few hours ago And I fucking love it

Wow you remind me of the Russian Bajur without the edgy memes

I'm weirdly proud of how fast your channel is growing. Well done Avery well done.

we know youre a furry dont worry about it

I think your comedy is definitely inspired and is giving me more of a will to go on, keep up the good work because i (and a lot of other people) love what you do. The sarcastic tone and straight to the point, brutal honesty is simply amazing, thank you for everything you do

Shammy: *stares at editing screen completely blank* Twitch chat: *poggers*

Congrats Shammy on amazing videos, u are really refreshing in this pile of youtubers, u are actually the first youtuber that I didn't just suscribed, but also pressed this little bell for notifications. U are doing amazing job man. Keep up!

I am glad that I've had feed back to my question.

Your straight-faced, depraved delivery and well-written jokes are fucking great. You're honestly what I aspire to be as a RU-vidr. I mean I'm not shooting that high but,,,

I love owls. That is all.

Shammy, I watch A lot of RU-vid. I'm subscribed to a lot of channels. I just discovered your channel when I watched your ReCore review; the owl head, the jarring exposition about your school life, and all the jar puns skyrocketed you to the top of my list of favorite uploaders.

After answering "why owl?" I imagine your next most asked question will be "no, really, are you a furry?" for the next decade. So be prepared. No, really, are you a furry though?

You're like the fan who actually went out and started doing their own thing and are actually doing it really well.

Holy crap! Funhaus? Joseph Anderson? SLEEPYCAST? I found me a diamond in the rough. Keep up the fantastic work man. P.s. I'd love to hear you on schmucks

There's just something about that outro. You've got a view of the sunset, presumably every video is a different day, and you choose to do what you do because you have a dream. That dream is one of greatness. You don't choose to look at the sunset because there will always be a sunset, and the longer it is that you don't make a video, the less views you will make, thus securing less success. It's just fuckin beautiful man, because I can tell you put a shit load of effort in most of your videos. Seriously good luck in the future, and I'll try to catch some of your videos later.

Basically Rag's but with an owl.

Basically all of your favourite RU-vidrs I either watch often or have watched in the past. Good stuff.

Hey Shammy, l'm new to your channel and just wanted to say that l really enjoy your Actual Reviews, they are so well made! Keep up the good work, l look forward to more great videos from you. Greetings from Germany :)

Just ran into your channel randomly while I was googling for some C++ development libraries. Lol, idk how I got here but I subbed. I promise you, you are one of the only you-tubers to actually make me laugh out loud when I'm alone in my room at 1am. No hard breath out of my nose. A Genuine laugh.I am pleasantly surprised. Keep it up man, don't quit. +1 Loyal viewer.

4:43 It's *beautiful*

This channel is great. I like how he doesn't sound fake at all when talking about appreciation for support like a lot of current big name youtubers. Plus he's real about what he wants to say and put in videos. Subbed since last week

just discovered your channel. i already love you

I identity and agree with so many of your points, self-reflections, style of humor, and career interests that it's almost frightening. XD Love the channel.

Pyrocynical: recommends Shammy as a really well thought out channel and fun to listen to. Shammy: Gets a living owl and make it fly to uk to shit on Pyrocynical

Didn’t expect The Weekly Planet to get casually mentioned but I’m glad.

Shammy, why do you not have 50k subscribers yet??

that was the first time an add added to the video. those extra couple of seconds made the joke all the better. well done that man.

you know majority of people ask abut the owls in the same way people kept asking dishonoured Wolf why a Wolf. because their either furrys looking for other furry you tubers or just want to know if your a furry or not.

Holy shit, I'm seeing this video for the first time, and hearing you say Chris and Jack are criminally underrated was so fucking validating that I am now loyal to you forever.

in the description "Jacobs soundloud."

I essentially only subbed because I was on a ZP binge but I stayed because it's nice to hear someone actually like a game for once. And the long videos are great. And you listen to both the Weekly Planet and Filthy Casuals, which makes you an alright bloke in my opinion.

here's a tip time stamp on your laptop as you play it would be easier to find reference to the gameplay footage

I still don't understand how people find all of these smaller and more obscure channels I want to be that cool dude who finds an awesome channel that nobody knows about and recommend it incessantly to my friends

damn shammy gotta with that avatar. fuck and I was actually curious

*"not gay porn" "not gay porn" "not gay porn" "not gay porn" "maybe gay porn" "not gay porn"* I love how you have those as your bookmarks. :D

Could you make a video on early access title GRIP? You won`t be dissapointed. Devs got some financial problems and this game deserves some recognition

Your reviews actually made me think more of Demo than zeropunctuation. Thats not a criticism in anyway, more a complement on how much effort you put into editing. Its actually one of the reasons I subbed to you today. You're awesome. Also owls are best.

favorate web sites "not gay porn, not gay porn, not gay porn not gay porn, not gay porn, mayby gay porn" why the fuck

So happy you credited the classical music you used in the video! Most people just use it without crediting the composers.

Probably the most underrated channel I've ever come across. Mine is better and more underrated so mine is better and more underrated and better but this channel is very good and is underrated but underrated and good and.

I loved how you explained the use for owls, they definitely are expressive creatures that's for sure. Heck I looked out of my window and there's one looking at me like its just seen something cringey.

At 9:56 how does he have so much space. I think i only have to V4

Interesting observation about comedy and vulnerability. Your videos are often a step beyond the level of wit I'd ordinarily expect for longer review videos, so I'll take that remark seriously. I can also empathize with your stance on maintaining a private life. Props again

Owls can only spin their heads 270 degrees

Well, even though I do not recall how I happened upon your channel, I can firmly consider myself amused thoroughly. After going through several of your videos (the melon one was interesting) I have concluded that I appreciate your content and humor; you actually managed to get MULTIPLE laughs out of me, which as a viewer, is mostly impossible (I don't privately exclaim emotionally). Thank you for the amazing content, and keep it up. Also, have a new subscriber, you need it.

How's Mother Russia Bleeds for you?

All I really want to say is how much I appreciate being able to find a youtuber who's humor I can actually appreciate. Liked, Subscribed, and looking forward to more videos.

Is the text at the end of this video inspired by TheRussianBadger?

I just recently started watching your videos, but you are by far the most hard-working you tuber I know. You put thought into every second of your videos, and make sure that every new video is filled with quality content. Keep doing what you're doing, and you will be huge!

so wait, why do you like owls?

i dont watch for the reviews, i watch to listen to shammy and his jokes, BUT some of my favorite content from you are your reviews.

Subscribed when you said that your favourite anime was Avatar :D

On The Humanities, Writing On Games, and Game Maker's Toolkit are good for analytical game content. OTH and WOG both do long, in depth game analysis. For example, OTH just did an analysis on how Bloodbourne inverts the Hero's Journey, references Catholicism painstakingly, and conveys the sense of unimportantance that Lovecraft was known for. Writing On Games did a great analysis a few months ago on ABZU, and how its accessibility allows for the appreciation from audiences of differing backgrounds. He juxtaposes himself playing versus his young (I think like 5 years old) nephew playing and how the playthrougsh affect each person. Mark from GMT does short stuff (like 8-10 minutes) but it's insightful and concise, almost always focusing on mechanics that he found particularly well implemented and how they contributed to the game. They are worth checking out sometime if that interests you.

NO don't show your face I like the mystery

Holy dear mother of fucking God a Shane Carruth fan. I found your channel today and I've binge drinking watched everything, but the Carruth nod in this video has cemented you in my top 3.

"not gay porn"

2:22 - "Are you a girl disguising yourself as a guy disgusting yourself as an owl?" Little did we know

WHERE DAFAQ ARE THE AUSTRALIANS - I SAW NO AUSTRALIANS IN DA MOOOVIE????

Something about dry and fast paced delivery I just love to listen to. Perhaps that is why I subbed

jesus why are there so many furry commentary channels lately

I have a feeling you're going to make it big. Maybe not 4 million in 1 1/2 years like Leafyishere, but, definitely noticed by a certain community. A community who can relate to your sense of humor and people who can actually wait a few weeks for an amazing video to be released. I just started watching your videos and I haven't seen a channel like yours ever before, as you take inspiration from various RU-vidrs and mash it into one sexy...genre? Is there a genre of RU-vid channels? I'm not sure, but let's just hope it doesn't get spoiled, I look forward to seeing more videos Shammy ;)

Holy moly you're good at what you do Shammy. I have uploaded all of 5 videos so far and like you mentioned, I cannot believe it takes so long to edit everything. I takes me a week or so between work, social life and general motivation to edit and upload anything. When I first started watching your videos I wondered why only 29, then I realise the quality of your work and I guess that answers that. I'm very envious of your subs and views but then again, I'm happy to upload videos purely to make my work colleagues laugh. Fantastic work and look forward to your future work.

Holy shit that God listens joke made me laugh really hard. I don't particularly know why, I found it oddly funny for some reason keep up the good work Shams.

By the way nice work with the thumbnails. I think that's actually what drew me into the first vid I saw from you which happened to be the no mans sky re review because it's a game I've been interested in regardless of all the negative things I've heard.

same here, subbed for the reviews. i know there are thousand other channels that do good reviews, but you really got talent, good sense of humor aswell, think the reviews fit your style perfectly.

Holy fuck, the last time I saw content this high quality it was in MinecraftManifest (insert X number of years, as I have no fucking clue) LPs, then mix in Kakio esc (at least in my opinion) editing all to be topped with a more sophisticated version of General Sam comedy, you then also are willing to call the audience "fucking idiots" which is absolutely amazing, AND it's all original, this channel is like a finding a golden needle in a industrial warehouse of needles painted to look gold, this shits the real deal(as a side note, to whom ever attempts to fix what's written here Good luck 👍) in all seriousness you're absolutely amazing, keep up the amazing dedication to your craft, some A1 level shit bois

Believe it or not when I first found your channel I actually thought of the Actual Game Reviews as more comedic character driven Joseph Anderson reviews, so it's actually pretty cool to know you enjoy his stuff as well, you two and Yahtzee are really the only reviews I watch for any games anymore. Edit: Well I'm a couple minutes further now, Zero Punctuation too, m8? Noice. Part 2: *Looks at Funhaus poster and shot glass, Looks back at screen* Dude. Jesus Christ, are you me?

you are genuinely my new favorite RU-vidr. Your production quality, editing, and voice overs are so top notch. keep it up boi

Your videos are great! Always nice to find a (relatively, 50k is not a small number of subs at all) unknown channel.

I know you said that a video or stream of you editing/ making a video would be boring, I would still love to see it. I haven't been watching you for years but I still love your content and I'm intrigued in your process. Keep doing what you love and stay happy doing it

I found the pyro bit fucking hilarious. The character you portray is brilliant and pyro isnt as bad as he was imo. Keep up the good work

This channel deserves alot more subscribers, it really makes me laugh with this guys humor, anyways just keep up the good work and soon enough you'll hit 500k

It makes me so happy that you like Josepeh Anderson, because i found you slightly after i blew through all of his videos, and i find that i like you just as much as him, if for a different reason

Shammy, being a fire truck sounds like a very stable career I always wanted to be a pool myself or the next villain in cod because I am suicidal

WOAH! I was busy minding my own work until you said you were a fan of FUNHAUS. You're an awesome youtube personality and your comedic style is perfectly synced with Funhaus's. It's dark, cynical, and almost self insulting but intelligent... I think.

AWUULZ I love the owl pics you use - awesome and adorable :D Just... thought I'd leave this here on account of the intro... so many awuul questions... (Over a year late, and I'm practically the only one still adding worthless comments; heck yes, success!)

Woo Primer! :D I love that that's one of your favorite movies instead of something most people have heard of! :3

What's it with the weird cut at 6:08 for a split second that is basically editing out a question, regarding favorite youtubers that do long form reviews and critiques of games and movies? Also my answer to that one would be MauLer.

Duuuuuude OneyNG is one of my all time favorites!!!! Leo & Satan will forever hold a place in my heart

counting you were at 10k here, this is the most effort ive ever seen put into a youtube video

I am so glad I found your channel. I freaking love your content! Most of it makes me remenber Sorenova (there is someone you need to check out) and the newest videos really stick with me. Also, the Owl representation was the best thing you have ever done to your channel.

Honestly, Yahtzee was probably A. how I found you, and B. the first critic that came to mind watching your (Shammy's) reviews. Every video of yours I've watched has been extremely entertaining, including this one (and usually I hate comment response videos), and I hope you keep doing what you're doing, because I think we all want more lol.

Upstream color and primer are my two favorite movies as well. I suddenly felt a connection to you. Which is weird. I don't know how to make that not weird. But I haven't met anybody who likes those movies as much as I do.

I was so surprised to see that you like YMS as well, he is sinfully underrated.
