  • As a teenager I saw Karak burn, and the return to Higara. As a young Man I watched the seige of Higara and the age of Sejuk. Now as a man with a son I look forward to what I will see next.
  • I played an absurd amount of Homeworld and Homeworld 2 before my vision gave out and am deriving a lot of vicarious enjoyment of HW3 through your investigations. Thanks for the awesome content.
  • @Sajuuk
    Homeworld is the only tactics/strategy game I've played mainly for its storyline. It's still the best space strategy game ever made.
  • @GmodPlusWoW
    The galaxy at large may have forgotten The Beast, but Kiith Somtaaw remembers. "Kingdom Hearts 2 has SCREWED US AGAIN!" -the captain of the Kuun-Lan, after discussing the matter with Lord Mandalore

    Homeworld: (Cataclysm) Emergence remains my top game of the series. RIP stolen Taidaan Heavy Cruiser. You carried my fleet of miners like a champion.

    >Riesstiu dead and the Taiidan Empire dead and fractured. Taiidan Republic actually does fare better. >The Beast slain by Somtaaw. >Makaan dead. Vaygr routed. Only wondering where Karan got lost... BTW, Homeworld Cataclysm/Emergence is Canon. Blackbird themselves stated it on Twitter/X. Mentioned it multiple times.

    Honey, cancel all my appointments for tonight, a new Templin Institute kino just dropped
  • @thehumus8688
    Karan S'Jet is lisan al gaib serriusly Homeworld and Dune music has same vibe
  • @nivozi1694
    Oh man, you gave a curt explanation by the lack of acknowledgement of that little incident called the Beast War in Homeworld 2.
  • @control4230
    By far and away one of my favourite game franchises, I still have original disk version somewhere. I always found the numbers to be a bit off though. 600,000 people doesn't seem to be nearly enough to establish and maintain an empire.
  • I can’t believe Homeworld 3 is a thing. It’s been so long since I’ve seen this game series come back like this. I look forward to seeing what happens next for the people of Higara.
  • @Drave_Jr.
    Makaan wasn't killed at the Battle of the Balcorra Gate, he was killed at the Battle of Balcorra

    Tbh I never thought, in 2024 I would get a sequel to one of my fave games of all time. In the quarter century since getting that first beta disc and the subsequent three games, my reflexes are not what they used to be but I am so happy to come back to this universe.
  • There is a fantastic fan theory that the Progenitors are the people of Earth that expanded throughout the universe. Also, I wonder if we will see the Beast again but mutated to be even more dangerous.
  • Homeworld is still one of the greatest franchises in video game history and is still a fun game to play all these years later.
  • @jujuplayboy
    25:47 Well, a weird way to learn her death for me ! ^^ (Secretly I'm glad to know she won't be the protagonist of ANOTHER Homeworld game).
  • @MonitorMono
    Been waiting for Templin to cover more about Homeworld for a long while! But still, I hope Marc's health has been improving =w=
