we miss you luke, it's like we can still hear you and you're still here
-
“I swear I can still hear him” Luke: “I’m not dead” “He’s still here in my heart”
-
While Luke is retiring, he can take with him the knowledge that he was the start of a popular fan theory of Link is the Doom Slayer
-
So glad Luke’s ghost is still here. also please continue to edit old footage of Luke into all the videos. It’s like he never left. 😂
-
"Get back to me" he says, knowing full well we can't now that he's gone...
-
12:57 "Come back to me." You got some nerve saying that right about now, Luke! 😂
-
Test run of Jane's 43rd Luke clone is a success. It didn't melt this time!
-
I will treasure all these last videos with Luke. Good luck out there my friend, We'll be watching what you do in the future!
-
"no pun intended" YOU WROTE THE SCRIPT WHAT DO YOU MEAN??!!?!?
-
This is an oddly specific subject and I’m absolutely here for it 🤣
-
I was not prepared for the "meat cute" pun. Very well executed.
-
We’ll miss you and your objectively correct Link-theories, Luke. Best of luck going forwards. And best of luck to the Westawayless team.
-
And then there's the Legend of Zelda franchise which added a grappling hook pretty early on but has now completely abandoned it.
-
Here's a weird one but, King's Quest. The series started proper in 1984, and finally got a grappling hook in the more action-oriented Mask of Eternity, released 14 years later.
-
I'm loving this farewell tour where Luke just does list videos that are entirely fan service. But he is the fan
-
Speaking of Bungie, they did finally add grappling to Destiny last year. It was initially supposed to be just for one class, but the testers had so much fun with it that they gave everyone a grapple and just gave hunters a special one.
-
Assassin's Creed gained rope-darts (and basic rope-swings) as early as AC4 but didn't get a grappling hook-like weapon until the rope launcher in AC: Syndicate - 8 games (and about 8 years) after the first AC.
-
I'd argue the best grappling hook in games is actually the web-sling mechanic in the Spiderman games.
-
The ghost of Luke still lingers!
-
I once called out WhatCulture for talking about the Doomguy/Link theory without crediting Luke. I probably wouldn't have if they hadn't ALSO incorrectly accredited another theory to Game Theory (whom merely talked about said theory a lot).
