The Witcher: A Full Series Retrospective 

"Triss gets sick and shits in the woods a bunch." Me, a big fan of the books: Very accurate.

Somewhere, at this moment, Joseph Anderson is seething.

I suffer from severe insomnia; I cannot sleep if I don't have something in the background and it's usually either documentaries or your videos (on repeat). Thank you for uploading such a long video that will be played multiple times for me!

Hell yeah, I can make it through an entire workday and blast this masterpiece

I'm ill at home and bored and sad af most of the time but my eyes started to shine like stars when i saw the length of this video

Broski Son easily did what JosephAnderson could not. Mad respects!!!

This is the longest video of interesting and amazing content I have ever started to watch here on RU-vid. This video is going to take me at least 1 month to complete, as I drift off to your videos at night watching bits of 10-15 mins at a time before I fall asleep. Thank you so much for the effort you put into these videos! You're the best!

Damn he did it before Joseph Anderson finished his own retrospective

Thank you for all the work you’ve done on these reviews man. Amazing content

Son, you have making your father proud with these uploads. Keep up son and we are so proud of you. Also I love Witcher games as well.

"And today, I'd like to talk about the Witcher." ...Son, you'll still be talking about it tomorrow too with how long this one is. Mad respect to you for the sheer amount of time it must have taken sifting through this series and putting these videos together.

Its a great day when i can watch my favorite son talk about the witcher for 10 hours

Perfect Sunday entertainment

Incredible work here on all three videos. From the writing, editing, and production you provide such comprehensive work of your own making that stands in parallel to the Witcher Series. It is nothing short of astounding. Keep up the great work!

10 hour YourFavoriteSon Witcher video, the gods have smiled favorably upon us

Son you read the books! respect! I love the books

Easiest 11 hour watch of all time

Thank you for all the time and effort you put into making this ❤

Perfect!! I was literally just looking for some fantastic content for the rest of my day of work. Thank you so much

Perfect timing I watched all your other witcher videos last week. Great work!

Thank you so much for videos like this. I appreciate all the hard work you put into this!

Thank you so much for the work you put into these videos, they are fantastic to have in the background when im trying to sleep (i dont mean that they are boring or anything ofc i just have severe insomnia) , keep up the good work!

I’ve gone through all of my audiobooks… just when I thought the work day was gonna suck, I see THIS masterpiece has dropped. You’ve literally saved my day.

So, I've watched the entire video in two days. You really did well. I don't agree with all of your Witcher 3 criticism, but I get where you're coming from. Back then I've watched your Fable Retrospective, too, and I really enjoy your thorough essays.

An 11 hour video about a game series I've never got around to playing? Sounds like a good time to me

I cant wait to get out of work and game and listen to this all day. Keep up the great content and keep up the awesomeness. I love the witcher series for varying reasons so im excited to see your take

Finally!!!! I was wondering how long this would be. Waited for the full series retrospective.

I just love these long threaded vids, keep up the great work, fam!

The way this is going to take me a few days to finish. It's definitely appreciated.

Keep up the good work. I love listening to your videos while I work

Dammn son great video! Finally finished it after a week and gotta say I enjoyed every minute of it! Thoroughly enjoyed the recaps and especially your opinions for each segment.

Saturating the market so Joseph Anderson's video will be even less interesting to watch is bold and genius. Good job, great video!

Earned a subscriber. Dope video, very good script. You are an Artist 🎨

I drive a lot for work so having the full retrospectives posted like this is a god send for me. It’s like having a really interesting audiobook with live commentary on the story. Can’t wait for the metal gear solid video, you make your dad proud 🤠🤘🏼

This absolutely needs more views. Saving to my playlist for an upcoming roadtrip…

Maybe its because this was the 1st long form video essay channel i found, but i swear he is the best

11 hours of content has me foaming at the mouth. ty king

I love this type of long video content please produce more like this

Needed something to listen to at work today. Thanks son!

Just finished Joseph Anderson’s Witcher and Witcher 2 retrospectives yesterday. All I have to say is LET’S GOOOOOOO.

Son, your content mirrors your statement abot the Witcher series - there's something here for everyone. Great job Son, proud of you.

I heard of your channel on a live stream from I Finnished a video game, and it's fantastic 👌 I am also following the others that were on the live stream, excited to catch up on all the content 😀

10 hours is insane. But as someone who listened to all the parts, it is SO very much worth it. Great retrospective as always, son. Not just saying that because I'm 'dad' either.

Definitely know what I'm gonna listen to while studying now.

This is gonna be my entire week

Will probably listen to this 3 or 4 times. Thanks homie. 😊

I watched/listened to the whole thing, pal. Nice video.

An 11 hour video? You're the best son a dad could ever ask for. I haven't even watched it yet I know this will be good ❤

Talking about The Witcher in a Chucky Olives shirt? Goated

11 hours, just what I needed, thank you son

Thank you for your content.

1:30:45 Ciri is actually mentioned in an inn keeper’s story (in Chapter IV I believe :)) But yeah, it’s really weird if it would be expected to be a consistent sequel

Shock Therapy is probably one of my all time favorite quests I've ever done in gaming in all honesty.

Me: I love long form content! YourFavoriteSon: I'll be the judge of that...

I know that many people may disagree but I think that Witcher 1 is the best of the three. The combat system did not bother me at all. I cannot wait for the remake!!! Thanks for the video yourfavoriteson!

He did it again! My man! Another video to add to the “Nighttime Playlist”

Wow, great pronounciation of polish words :D also thanks for providing long form content to have in the background 😊

Where did you find that cute little VCR-CRT TV on your shelf, like what's the make/model?

@5:05:30 - never used Bombs or Potions unless a quest required it. They're just not necessary, even on Death March. You cast your shield and just use s from dodging. Nothing can hurt you.

Hey son, saw you dropped this vid last night. I, your loving and encouraging father, will now spend the whole day today watching and listening. good work son

wow i actually was so busy i didnt get to start watching when you uploaded the witcher 3 vid and said i would wait for the full upload as a joke but i guess here we are

The witcher games got me into the series the books made me fall in love with it but the audio books narrated by Peter Kenny made it my all time favorite

José Anderssen on Harakiri watch.

This is my call to play the first part another time

Came here for the Joseph Anderson comments, stayed for the kick ass video

Witcher 1 - Best atmosphere and music Witcher 2 - Best story Witcher 3 - Best game overall

Oliveira t-shirt showing you're a real man of quality.

Please do Vampire the Masquerade series next. Love your work

Subbed for the Do Bronx shirt.

when i started this video i didnt know i had a son. but damn did you ear the title of favorite . now o make your dad proud and beat your friends at that Witcher board game

my favorite son talking about one of my favorite series this is gonna be glorious

Thronebreaker was a masterpiece for what that game was aiming to be so it's criminal it flopped so bad that all other games planned in the Gwent stories were cancelled including the Iorveth one :(

legend

Is this a compilation video? Or do i need to watch both the withcher 3 video and this one separately?

Anyone recognizes the song that's playing in the background at the very start of the video?

Great retrospective. I must say, I have a weird relationship with the Witcher universe. I've read the books, played the games and watched the show. I hated the show and forgot about it, to be honest. But the third game and the book series I'll simply never forget. It's not my favourite book series out there, I've read some better fantasy series, but it just stays with you. The first two books are easily one of my favourite books out there. They're a nice collection of short stories that excel at crafting characters, building the world and introducing Geralt. After the first two books, the series becomes one long continuing story. This is where the books become a mid-tier experience for me. It is by no means a bad experience, but It comes down to me liking the premise, characters and the world, but the story and its execution are just mid-tier to me. The Wicher books feel like this timeless fairytale/folk-inspired and unique fantasy that has amazing characters like Yennefer and Geralt and for those things, it stays with you. It was the first fantasy series I've read and was my gateway to other series in the genre. The games are a different story. They take what I love about the books and expand on those things. The Witcher Universe works really well in game format, in my opinion. The presentation in the games is superior to that in the books if you ask me. For all its lower moments, the series make up for it with its highs. The Witcher as a Universe is the most compelling fantasy out there.

Bro is a professional yapper yapping for nearly 11 hours kudo's to you 🤣🤣🤣❤️

very proud of you, son. Just a thing I'd like to point out, when you say "original series" I think you should know, Witcher borrowed quite a lot from the Elric series of dark fantasy books. Razorfist has a ... rather scathing video about that. It doesn't detract from the Witcher's appeal and charm, just pointing out for rigor's sake. Keep up the amazing work ! also, I'm super jealous of your Berserk collection.

If the next witcher game doesn’t have someone screaming PUNCH HIS LIGHTS OUT while fistfighting then I’m not playing lmao

not now babe, new yfs video just dropped

no way bro put out a 10hour video. Now when i wake up it will still be playing

Hell yeah Sunday entertainment here I come

Another great video son! Your mother and I are very proud.

1:54:12 to be fair as well, I doubt banks had insurance policies, so anyone storing their gold inside was absolutely screwed. And in a time where being poor also meant death, well. If Geralt did that, he participated in the deaths of at-least hundreds. (to be fair he's probably killed much more directly, just not villagers and businessmen.)

Thank you son, theres a reason your the favorite

A fellow Charlie olives fan, a true man of culture

Holy shit Time to go finish Witcher 1 and come back to this video

YOUR MOVE JOSEPH ANDERSON

when doing the side quest where you (geralt), dandilion and Zoltan go drinking you get asked if you could stop being a Witcher and settle down would you do it? i always liked saying yes as due to the first game not giving context to Yen or Ciri marrying Shani and working as a detective / pest control ( monster hunter) seamed like the best of all out comes. i know Triss is everybodys choice but i always felt she was hiding something unlike Shani who just wanted geralt for who he was not what he could help her achieve

Thanks son, now I have a video that rivals whitelights death stranding video to listen to

Nice going son.

Witcher 1 is still my favorite game in the series. Even if the combat and game in general is a little jank, the questing in it is probably the most impactful.

10:05:36 don’t you mean “partial” and not “impartial”, since you actually like the short stories instead of being indifferent to them?

Commenting here simply for the algorithm. RU-vid’s been messing everyone up so 👍 well done

Joseph Anderson shaking in his boots

You’re doing a good job son

Seen 11 hours, rubbed my eyes, then sat back and put my feet up. Lets gooo!!!😆

Holy fuckin shit. That length is enough to kinda scare me off. Almost 20 sec in and I already feel i can't pay attention to what you're saying unless I'm busy typing. Smoking weed or eating. And I can't do any of those for 10 hours long. Might attempt it before sleep. If I fall asleep you can at least farm watchtime while I sleep.

Isn’t princess Atta that one girl from A Bug’s Life?

10 hours... Bro... *Hits play*
