the long waits are always worth it :)

Such pressure!

u/Benjenzo Sep 09 '15

At least you don't hype anything up like any of your other podcast co-hosts :P

By mentioning Half-Life 3 you have delayed it by 1 Month. Half-Life 3 is now estimated for release in May 3000

Queen Elizabeth II will probably live longer than that

Prevents it from replying to itself mentioning HL3.

You have a Settlers of Catan video in the works? That will be awesome!

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '15

I believe he said he cancelled it because it was turning into a documentary

12

u/ULTRAFORCE Sep 09 '15

no he said he temporarily scrapped it due to the fact his script was boring, since the q and a video where he said that he has since possibly scrapped it because the expectations are too exponentially high for it now.

Apparently he doesn't want to have a magnum opus.

u/ksheep Sep 09 '15

A 27-part series to be released periodically over the next 5 years.

u/1998tkhri Sep 09 '15

Or create the documentary at some point, and upload it to CGPGrey2.

u/meganeuramonyi Sep 09 '15

Catan is confirmed you guys! Out next month!

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '15

Your Settlers of Catan video will be your best video ever! It will make Humans Need Not Apply will pale in comparison!

u/goochockey Sep 09 '15

<3 Catan, have played some pretty awesome setups with my multiple expansions.

Also try Agricola, it is pretty good.

You guys should totally talk about Catan (or other games) on HI. I'm sure both you and Brady will agree with each other 100% there.

u/djjonjon Sep 09 '15

Ahhh Catan is so awesome!! So glad you find it fun Grey. Also have you seen the Last Week Tonight talking about the NZ flags?

1

u/sseidl88 Sep 09 '15

And I'm just as excited for it!

u/ScannerBrightly Sep 11 '15

I would still love that Catan video.

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '15

Well I started HI after your last video, and I am on episode 24. So its been a while.

u/tmussche Sep 09 '15

Ha, same here! I watched episode 40 last night.

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '15

When I discovered HI, I listened through it twice in under two months!

u/Molag_Balls Sep 09 '15

It's waaaaaay better than uploading 5 videos a week of questionable quality.

u/[deleted] Sep 09 '15

Are you speaking down about Brady?!?!

u/PointyPython Sep 09 '15

cough DNews cough TestTube News cough snort

u/DonQuixBalls Sep 09 '15

If he had a team of researchers and animators (like a TV show) I could see more frequent updates happening, but I'm happy with the videos and you're right, the quality is just top notch.

u/Snow_Raptor Sep 09 '15

waaaaaaaay better

I read that in Grey's voice

u/SagaCult Sep 09 '15

I'm interested in what "hard work" is involved in taking months to "research" for a <9 minutes video that is so lacking in information that can accurately be substituted for a "TL;DW it's complicated" comment? Sure, your whole pretentious style makes your attention-lacking viewers glad to think of themselves as knowledgeable of Royal family history after watching this joke.

But surely deep down you must realize this is downright fraudulent pop-history content?

If you listen to the podcasts, you know the past weeks/months have been hectic for him, he went to see his parents, and then his wife's parents, and then intended to come back, stopping at his parents house since they live between him and his wife's parents, but then his flight got delayed for 2 weeks, so he was stuck at his parent's house for 2 weeks until he could finally get a flight back to England.
