  • C&C =]

  • So there really is a song out there dedicated to me...

  • So he skipped Playstation 1? :O

  • I just found my theme song.

  • OMGWTFKA! You mentioned Tesla Coils! You, my good sir, are officially my favorite nerd rapper.

    a) because you like Assassin's Creed (assuming)

    b) you made reference to The Tesla (and for that... I love you)

  • takes a bad turn at 2:43 ;)

  • @ReboundGamer But this is 7 years in the technology has decreased in price and improved but that's the point, the price of the original xbox has changed very little comparatively. Now I think your getting Gaming PC's confused with Gaming laptops which are around 500% more expensive so makes sure not the forget that when your inevitably going to reply and also please pm the character limit is annoying me. If you want me to point you to my sources or that £369 computer I was talking about pm me.

  • @ReboundGamer Fastforward to release day 8 months down the line your console has been outdated by 2 maybe 3 generations of new hardware and your claiming this is ahead of their time?

    As for the comparative price of pc's to consoles? Yep there more expensive but by how much? The xbox 360 release price was £279.99, For £369 you can get a computer that is a vast improvement on this.

    Now as I said earlier I know pc's are more expensive but gibe

  • @lamofify First of all I pointed out that Pc's cost more. And second they are not made ahead of there time why? Well lets say that your a developer working on creating the next xbox you get some top of the line stuff much better than computers and work on getting the most out of it 4 months in and its going well... except better technology has been released. You cant swap them out without losing all the work you put on tweaking it so you keep on working with old hardware.

  • well, if the wrong person saw this video, they may go copyright crazy. And that is sad

  • Oh god. Civ2. I loved that. My dad got it on Mac when i was like five, and it was the only game that left a permanent impression on me - even though i had no idea how to play it! I'd never even figured out how to build a city until i was like 13.

  • @ReboundGamer However both sides have the disadvantages, constantly buying more hardware is not a cheap to do and a up to date pc will set you back a good deal more than a console (At least the current generation). However not updating it at all is not a good thing to do either, imposing unrealistic limits upon developers leads to stress and worse games

    Publisher: Here is some old technology, we want you to make an amazing game with lots of wonderful mechanics and ground breaking graphic

  • @lamofify Producers are pressured to make better looking and smoother playing games, on all platforms except computers they are limited to the technology of the chosen console. This does mean over time more exploits are created for said console to work around the limits but eventually a new console has to released. However on a computer the technology is constantly improving and any half decent pc gamer can improve there rig with said technology.

  • @ReboundGamer but pc's cost so much more than xboxs or ps3 now a days. and there made so much ahead of there time

  • 1:25 Ah I remember doing that. I was scared that the butler was trying to poison me with tea, so I used to lock him in the fridge. Ah nostalgia. And my gameboy. Playing a crappy spiderman game a mario world. then the PS2. Spyro the dragon and DRIVER. Then the Xbox 360 Halo mostly. Now here I am on my PC playing games like skyrim and BF3. Brings back memories.

  • Amazing...

  • What is the name of the lawnmower game??

  • i broke out the ps2 again the other day a good choice its to much fun

  • PC FTW

  • old memories♥

  • i remember smugglers run lol me and my bro always played 2 player on the dessert level going up the pyramid and finding the secret path up to the top :) i love games

  • I honestly don't see the point in arguing on what system is better. They all have pros and cons, no system is perfect. To me it's all about personal preference, but that doesn't mean that you have to shove it down someones throat if they disagree with your views. Seriously grow the fuck up and play your games.

  • PlayStation3 is the best think of all Console's, because you can play Uncharted and GTA:IV perfectly on this god like Console !

  • @MrRommal if the consoles didn't exist, you could have those games with way better graphics and better controls on pc!

  • pc forever

  • 1:40 - Game name please!

  • @Keregan1 Fairly sure that's Commandos. It's available on Steam.

  • @douglby Could you please update the download link? This one doesn't work anymore.

  • This should be the gaming anthem

  • is there anyway in hell i can get the instrumental for this? it is amazing

  • i remember smugglers run :) got out of pre k just to play it

  • This song made my day.

  • awesome verse

  • LOL FIRST MANOPOLY PART IS FROM COLLEGEHUMOR LOL

  • You think you're an individual until you realise a complete stranger has probably spent about 1/3 of his life in exactly the same way as you....

  • Insafishant funds

  • What was the title of the game at 1:40?

  • 1:35 WHAT FUCKING GAME IS THAT. When I was like 5 I played that on my dads laptop. WHAT IS IT.

  • @l33tcombat I'm not certain, but it looks and sounds like it's an early version of Command And Conquer

  • This is so good. WoW!! Amazing.. Looking though your channel. So many good songs/rap/content You are a freedom fighter as i see it. And you don't hurt anyone. You sir are great for this world. Please do not stop what you are doing. We need more like you!

  • 1:42 grimfandango best game ever

  • @BBthzPrisonerOfWar Lol was talking about old games with a friend few days ago.. when i was playing L.A Noire.. i remembered that Grim Fandago was quite good.. you had to use ur brain to solve stuff etc.. they don't make these kind of games much anymore ;((

  • @Paracaz yes they do my friend just you wont see a commercial for it. ;) google my friend

  • this is genuinely a very well put together song. good job.

  • TeslaCoils!! Go CnC!

  • brilliant as always :D

  • this video pretty much exactly and precisely summed up my gaming history (except i bought a DSL and PSP between the PS2 and Xbox 360)

  • That akward moment when you want to make a reply to someone and realize their comment is a year old... @internetmale

  • knew he was gonna skip over the Wii LOL PWND

  • XD Hardly working clip = Thumbs up.

  • - "Xbox 360 is the best console ever!"

    - "No PS3 is the best console ever!"

    ... Lets face it PC's are the best now a days

  • @DaFilipinoBoii snes is the best console ever.

  • @DaFilipinoBoii PC's have been the best man

  • @DaFilipinoBoii and will forever be

  • @DaFilipinoBoii always have been for the most part.

    

  • @DaFilipinoBoii what about my n64 :3

  • @DaFilipinoBoii Too expansive

  • @DaFilipinoBoii pc is not a console...

  • @BASHMAN9t5 consoles are not a console... they are computers specifically made for gaming... dosn't matter really if pc's are consoles or not, they are still better.

  • @DaFilipinoBoii Now a days? No, that's ALWAYS been the case.

  • @DaFilipinoBoii

    ALL HAIL THE PC GAMING MASTER RACE.

    Go away, you dirty console peasants!

  • @DaFilipinoBoii Especially when you combine it with the fact you can use Skype to team chat and an Xbox controller if the keyboard controls are unruly.

  • @DaFilipinoBoii and that, is why console wars are retarded

  • @DaFilipinoBoii Nope

  • @glowingfinger umad?

  • @DaFilipinoBoii i dissagree iv seen something that has a valed point.

    qote from yogscast

    luis : you got the xbox thats been here for 7 years and supports rage and you need a new computer every year to support the games that come out.

    i like ps3 but xbox is great. i am so envious of all the left for dead player you don't even know. i was a fanboy but i done with that shit.

  • @lamofify ye but that just means that the games that come out on xbox have the same engines and graphics and dont have the same "new and improved" effect that the pc has.

  • @DaFilipinoBoii But what if someone decides to be a jerk and pours glue in your keyboard?

    ...Cause that's happened to me (and that's why I've stopped playing PC games)

  • @Zapherenath Dude just buy a new keyboard.

  • @DaFilipinoBoii Consoles are more preferable and more popular

  • @DaFilipinoBoii except PC isnt a console, its a platform. it is the most versatile however.

  • what the game at 3:26? where you have that alien arm thing

  • @TheMaddogx32 its called the Darkness. For PS3 and 360

  • Comment removed

  • I have a question though... what about Sega Genisis? I always had a bawl playing it...

  • @thegodofskyrim

    mmmm..... yeah that was cool

  • Best song ever

  • i love how mostly all the systems have disk read errors

  • Hell YES. The first clip is Amir playing Monopoly.

  • big ups bro!

  • LOL did anyone see him owning the fan in the oblivion section of this song

  • @Soupmaster101 Yes in fact, Best ecperience ever!

  • Reddit brought me here. Out of all the rap songs I've seen around games, admittedly mostly spoofs, this one is by far the best. Very good meter and rhyme and treats the material in just the right way. Very impressed.

  • And then everyone discovered the In-production ps4 Which is going to be able to render games with at least 4 times better graphics than the top-notch Gaming PC

  • @Burntshmallow not xbox-ps3 fanboy but i ithink ps4 is gunna suck and just be a waste of munny and i hate the point that soon no more xbox or ps3 games are gunna be made only ps4-xbox420 and i am gunna waste my mom's munny on it agan when next year a new o9ne is made anyway.

  • @jamiromonster or.. save the money and snag yourself a kickass pc c:

    Pc's have been ahead of the consoles for the longest time when it comes to hardware.

  • No body is on myspace...

  • This song is amsome! And I'm glad to realize at least on other person went from the epic of PS2 to the epic of X360.

  • @AxyzGrid I went from the epicness of PS2 to the shittiness of Wii then straight into the celestiality of PC gaming ;)

  • @AxyzGrid x360 is bad

  • @AxyzGrid Pure logic, the Xbox 360 were released a while before PS3 and when ps3 DID release it had an acceptable price, atleast here in sweden at that time it only would be bought by those who rly could afford that or to be willing to purchase it, ofc it came down later on in price but by then most people had a 360 already.

  • @AxyzGrid Me too, but i had to sell my ps2 to get it. Bad decision. Luckily, my parents redeemed me, and bought me a slim ps2 for christmas :)

  • 1:30 AM and I want to go to bed but I keep finding great Raps =D

  • Internet male... If you are reading this comment I just want to tell you that your ignorant. Why would you make fake claims about dan and tell him to kill himself just because you diddent enjoy a song he made. Would you do that to you parents. Because it appears you would do it to any body. Every person that has subscribed to dan is against you. Do you really have a reason for it?

  • Oh thanks ionraygamer now in need to find all of these people

  • This has a really catchy chorus. Had it stuck in my head all day. I even started singing it under my breath.... while playing video games... on my computer.

  • This was really almost a little emotional for me in a funny and maybe even pathetic sort of way, at least from an outsiders point of view. Because this is like the story of my life right here LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

    This was really cool, good work.

  • dan you've made me want to try rapping again. your style is so new and exciting. any advice to get me started?

  • @douglby what age are you?

  • 0:33 seconds is the reason I am a gamer.

  • Comment removed

  • was KassemG playing monopoly?

  • I put a 360 in my microwave and the microwave got a red ring.

  • he is so fu*king real... Nostalgia/pro skills

  • you forgot to not veer from pc gaming EVER :P

  • PC Gaming the Overlord of all gaming

  • I'm gamin, blazin, makin bets, getin crunk, popin yo head, punk.

    Just try n find me, hidin in the black, while your catchin all ma flack. Like the flash i'll be right back. Don't play coy, i'll find your ass boy, sittin in the corner campin that flag while i'm runnin around, putin people in bags. you'll neva see it comin. i'm gunin for yo ass.

  • I think this is the first rapper to acctually tell the truth :S

  • shit X-Box!!!

  • pokemon was the best

    

  • I just want one rap dedicated to Nintendo, but I know that's not going to happen :(

  • Absolutely amazing, I can't believe I just found this! I got linked to your latest Skyrim video and I really liked it so I decided to look back at your previous videos, this one is the best one yet, by far!

  • I really wonder. This is pretty much short story of one's interaction with digital entertainment over 2-3 decades. Yet, I can't get rid of the feeling that You wanted to both criticise gaming for it's social aspects ("sun blazing - gaming") and praise it for the thrills, laughs and challenges it provided (GTA, Silent Hill, etc). Now, the thing I wonder about is what is Your actual point of view. Do You like gaming despite it's drawbacks or blame it for the lost "sun blazing" days ?

  • Thumbs up for locking the butler in the freezer. Used to do that all the time!

  • damn 8 megs of ram

  • You are still my favorite rapper.

  • i love you mr. bull.

  • Awesome :D  Love the chorus.

  • CIV 2 FUCK YEA!!!!

  • This song is AWESOME!

  • Great flow, well-placed beats and funny. I keep coming back to this and letter to Mandy and a few other songs. :D

  • hahha white rappers are way better than black sellouts now a days.

  • hahha white rappers are way better than black sellouts now a days.

  • is there somewhere a lossless version? would be glad, thx :)

  • love this song

  • hey Dan its alec.thanks!

  • PC Gaming forevah

  • The only thing I don't get is why Dan Bull does not generate more attention. Talent-wise he could easily stand his ground against what is considered "good" in todays hip-hop / rap culture. And the lyrics are SICK. Does not get more "real" than this. You simply KNOW he played all these games growing up. This is raw geek culture and it speaks directly to my soul.

  • @UGotSerbed rap has to do with things that come from the heart. unfortunetly tht has changed over the years now rappers SUCK sept a few

  • @UGotSerbed that is like asking why Dr. Awkward or King Pheenix don't get more attention, they exist on the fringes of hip-hop/rap culture. just look at the atrocity that is called Soulja Boy "Anime". when geek culture mixes with mainstream it ends in a disgusting blob that cannot be called either. it is sad, but it is truth, until people become more accepting of geek culture, which seems to be happening, albeit slowly.

  • @UGotSerbed to make it in the music buissness you must give up alot, morals and perhaps even your soul. Although i'll agree he is way fucking better than lil wayne.

  • @UGotSerbed Deep man, deep.

  • I grew up on Playstation.

  • best facebook hack ever /watch?v=Fd0di5HFboY

  • Dan have you played any total war games they are mad fun

  • pc gaming 4 ever

  • That lpoked like Henry Guilbert of Gamesradar at 3:45

  • Simon Pegg just tweeted this O_O

  • @hazdude222 Simon Pegg is the fucking man thats why, its takes one awesome brit to notice another

  • Can someone tell me where the clip at 3:45 is from?

  • yeah

  • This song is awesome. Epic Win.

  • please tell me what game is that at minute 3:36 please please please!

  • @GizmoZng that was fallout 3....the one immediately following that was Dead Rising

  • @dub8292 thank you!

  • if you don't like dan bull because of what he raps about then aren't you doing exactly what you're accusing him and his fans of doing? spoiler: yes

  • @internetmale You keep rallying against a straw man you have invented. A gross, inaccurate caricature based on assumptions you've made about me. As such your points bear no critical weight, the only thing they're doing is upsetting me.

  • @douglby thank-you sir that pwnage made my day

  • @douglby Hey Dan, quick question? You know the clip you've shown of xbox 360 getting thrown around near the end of this video. Where did you get the clips from? I want to watch that video.

  • @douglby Nevermind Dan, I found it. O_o;

  • @douglby

    'As such your points *bare* no critical weight'

    Good song anyway.

  • @upularFTW *bear. Really.

    "Good" comment, anyway.

  • @douglby did you raop that or did i just read it that way

  • @douglby Wich probably was his intention in the first place.

  • @plainlake You just replied to an 11 month old comment.

  • @IUsedToBeNumberOne

    your point?

  • @plainlake I just find it silly, telling him something he probably knew eleven months ago. I know you were being kind, but you (and other commenters) are joining a conversation that ended almost a year ago.

  • @IUsedToBeNumberOne perhaps it haunts the commenter, i throw in my view as well, even though someone probably have said it. But its not easy to check that out.

  • @douglby Hey internet stop making fake assumptions about a man who's just trying to be himself... Don't try to create a rebellion without a cause that can be easily noticed by others... Go piss someone else off please because this guys raps are EPIC

  • @ionrayvapor You replied to the wrong person...

  • @cakepizzapie Lol my fault XD

  • @ionrayvapor Sorry DBull XD

  • @douglby I like the fact he's more or less defending the side of rap that glorifies rape ,killing, and drug abuse, and hate

  • @internetmale i love this video i now who there has helped to do this music is it stef5924

  • "Keep up the good work - I'm relieved to finally hear a UK rapper who is comprehensible and relevant."

    "This is what rap should be about, not smackin' up bitches or pimpin' out cars. Rap should be about saying something that really matters. Thank you, Dan Bull. Please, keep it coming."

    100% unaltered quotes from Dan Bull fans. Sneering down your nose at the other in society - it's not just for fun anymore, it's a viable career option

  • The second person to successfully list of all the game titles in this video will win two CD copies of Dan Bull's debut album Safe. The joke is that Dan Bull and all nerdcore are pathetic. End Your Life, mate, death's sweet embrace has to be preferable to putting out shitty nerd namechecks and 'political' tracks with the depth of a puddle in the hope of viralling your way in with coked-up cunts in advertising - or 'your people' if you like :)

  • @internetmale What's up? Telling people to commit suicide is not a nice thing to do at all. Learn to love those who are different from yourself. You've told me a few times now that you despise me and my music; but I can't help noticing you keep coming back for more. I think there's a nerdcore rapper inside you just crying to get out. Love, Dan x

  • @douglby 'a few' = two. you literally live off badly-punctuated compliments on the internet from people who want to like rap but are intimidated by Black People. If only they could learn to love those who are different from themselves - but at least someone's making a few quid out of them, eh?

  • @internetmale Over the span of a month you've commented on different videos of mine numerous times, as well as messaging me privately, you've told me to kill myself and you've made numerous false claims against my character. It takes time and effort for you to do this; what are you hoping to achieve? It's not the behaviour of a well-balanced person. Please be both more mature and more accurate in future criticism of my work

  • @douglby to clarify, Dan messaged me privately within about an hour of his throwing a 'no time to comment any further' type strop on his student protest video. the only private message I have ever sent him was in reply to this. 'Numerous times' 'over the span of a month' = on two different videos, about a month apart, with no interaction between them. Please be both more mature and more accurate in your recounting of our past internet slapfights. cheers.

  • @internetmale Again you're making baseless accusations. I didn't throw a strop, that day I spent several hours civilly responding to comments on the video. I had to stop at some point. I messaged you with a rational critique of your accusations, which you seem to have ignored and simply reverted to spite, instructing me to kill myself. I'm all for criticism but yours is of a particularly vindictive nature, apparently intended to hurt me rather than ameliorate me.

  • @douglby everything in that last reply of mine other than the single word 'strop' is undeniable. stop misrepresenting the argument, especially if you want to accuse me of doing the same. also, you really need to stop pretending that the context of me posting 'kill yourself' is literally baying for you to Die In Real Life - it's really pious, and intellectually dishonest for a so-called professional 'humourist' (lets not even pretend that nerdcore is music)

  • @internetmale In our exchange so far, I can guarantee that you have made far, far more false claims than I have. As for telling me to kill myself, why should I believe you mean it in jest given the vitriolic context of everything else you've said to me. It has really upset me. You clearly have a deep-seated dislike of me. I want to know - what is it that is making you be so vile and horrible directly to another person?

  • @douglby would you like to name some of these false claims? because you certainly haven't amongst the last few accusations.you're really no worse than most nerdcore artists but as a genre reliant on dog-whistle racists that's faint faint praise. the political stuff is annoying because it's so reactionary - aimed at and made by people who get their opinions from Digg and the like. fucking Clicktivism at its worst. the protest video was genuinely one of the worst things i've ever heard

  • @internetmale You have claimed: 1. I use Fruityloops 2. I'm "just trying to go viral" "picking whatever side I think wins on numbers" 3. I "sneer at reality TV viewers" 4. "All" my music is "entirely without musical merit" 5. I am associated somehow with cocaine users in the advertising industry 6. That myself and the genre of nerdcore is "reliant on dog-whistle racists" 7. That I "get" my opinions from Digg Can you back up all or indeed any of these comments?
  • @douglby I think the burden of proof for 4. and 6. should be on yourself, because I can submit as evidence the entire genre (i've already posted direct quotes to back up 6). I'd like to add a further allegation based on that list:

    8) You are the popular Viz magazine character 'Mr Logic'.

    I feel bad now because people make aspergers jokes about nerdcore and stuff but you seem to have missed how often (too often) I exaggerate for 'comic' effect (I don't *actually* encourage your suicide!)
