Singularity is a Soviet themed FPS taking clear inspirations from Half Life 2, Bioshock, and other genre staples in Raven Software’s last standalone game before being sent to the Call of Duty mines.

So if you saw the previous upload up for a few moments this video is nearly exactly the same except for some tiny edits I made later (I run upload tests as the video is being made to make sure YouTube doesn't flag anything). Instead the wrong version went public at a weird time, so I deleted it and went to make the other one public…which I noticed was still refusing to process past 480p after being up overnight and the subtitles had vanished out of it. I'll need to restart that fun process so the timings don't break. But since it's already been out I figure it should just be public now. I ended up having to reupload the file which is a lot slower now that I'm no longer on fiber where I'm at.
Something about the delivery of “will someone go back to the 50s and warn Khrushchev that corn isn’t all it’s cracked up to be?
We will see~”
SLAYS me every time I hear it.
Yo mandalore, have you ever heard of a game called Lunacid? It is honestly one of my favorites recently. No one I know has ever even heard of it. i think it fits right into the style of games you seem to enjoy. It has wonderful atmosphere and an amazing soundtrack. I'd love for you to play it and even give it a video. I truly think the game deserves WAY more attention than it has gotten. A true hidden gem of a game.
I just hope they actually like making call of duty cuz they are fully trapped forever
Thumbnail reads singularity Yaetziesh
Weren’t you hit by a natural disaster the last time you moved? You need to stop moving man.
17:36 you age them and then revert them while they're still aging, which is why they're called Reverts. rather than these two operations canceling each other out, apparently their body just ages in both directions at once, or maybe back and forth and increasingly wrong each time
Ah, yes, my favorite type of video – yaeciesh
Have you ever heard of or played the creeper World Series of games?
this game needs a sequel
I played it at the time and loved it.
Could you make a top 10 list of your favourite first person shooters please ?? .. 🙂
End of the era that studios were smaller and brave to innovate.
okay but what the fuck is "ЯЕЦІЕШ"?
Thank you so much for answering to the call of arms for our Halloween debut
Please god Mandy talk about factorio space age
Nah I like how that pistol sounds, damage is pretty bad tho
I would love for you to play Geist, this super weird GameCube FPS/puzzle game where you play as a ghost that can possess different objects—this totally reminded me of it and I bet you’d love it!
The thumbnail really confused me because at first glace it looked like Singularity with egg-something below it.
Then I realized it's supposed to be review with Cyrillic characters.
Just installed game and this video gets uploaded, what a timing!
Had a great time with this one. Good memories in a rough place. Thank you for covering it 🙏😃

Signalis?
4:07 saw an entire shell casing (with a bullet on the end) flying towards an enemy, another gaming whoopsie. I think a lot of devs have never actually fired a gun, and they assume the whole case runs with the bullet 🤷🏻♂️

Gimmie the dun dun. dun. dun dun.

I said GIVE ME THE DUN DUN. DUN. DUN DUN
Whats that game shown at 6:05?
I don't know what a "yaetsiesh" is but I'm excited to find out!
29:00 Big pizza?
As a kid I read about Singularity in a GameInformer and thought it seemed awesome, and then a few months later I saw TimeShift in a GameStop and assumed it was the same game I was excited for and bought it.
I played singularity later too, but I kinda like them both about the same amount.
So the plot is basically the result of writers painting themselves into a corner, saying "f**k it", and then smashing several holes in the wall to get out and just kept on going.
Is that Bomberman 64 music?
Any interest in covering The Forever Winter?
Ah what a gem. I played this game a few years ago as i had just found out about it then and boy did i love it. Abandoned military base? Mutated monsters to kill? Upgradable weapons? Time travel shenanigans? YES PLEASE!
Sure the game didnt do anything original, but the way it combines all the gameplay elements it took from other games is great fun. Especially when you get the upgraded TMD effects, the time bubble and the crazy upgrades for the weapons and you become a time god.
Mandalore complains about the story, but compared to FPS games today, this is god tier story telling. I mean the few shooter games that even HAVE a single player campaign have abysmal writing. This game comes from the golden age of FPS games when single player campaigns were a must and designers and writers actually put some effort into making a good story and interesting level design.
I really miss that age of gaming… Time to put on that TMD and go for another run. THIS time we will make it better!
I wonder if, indie games wise, would you review "FAITH: The Unholy Trinity" for any halloween because it seems very fitting spooky wise.
Look I like your content but, fuck man you gotta throw retard in there? I get the work you put in and I agree with the core of your video but that shit makes me cringe so hard. I'm sure I'll get dogpiled for it but whatever.
Isn't the voice actor for Call of Duty's friend the same one who played Canderous in the Cabela's Dangerous Hunt 2013 game?
In case you’re curious, ЯЕЦИЕШ is pronounced “yayetsiyesh.”
I prepare myself for the hope of a mandalore rogue trader review while loving the videos while I wait
Horribly-accented Russian at 35:45
Фух, вернулся. Вроде как ничего не поменяло. Ау бля—
Phew, I returned. Seems like nothing changed. Aw fu—
Give us factorio space age
A good video to come back from basic training to watch
This makes me want a Time splitters Review
"I hope it's being kept inside a metric brick of steel"
What the heck is a metric brick
Remember that C-Consciousness representative from STALKER Shadow Of Chernobyl?
Yep, also voiced by Steve Blum.
That makes two Slavic Blums.
Singularity Jaeciesh (if u know u know)
holy shit is that Bomberman Heroes in the background i hear
Mandalore outing himself as a TBG fan with that liberal Redial usage.
To experience something hilarious ask Civvie11 to play Mortyr, worth it
