#Asmongold - Hry
asmongold watching philion's video on athene featuring asmongold's reaction of watching other video on athene... this meta is complicated
I think my brain just made a toot
It's the Asmongold cinematic universe.
This video feels so right and wrong at the same time. It feels….. raunchy.
Have you see Josh Strife Hayes' multi reaction meta? He reacts on Zepla and Asmon live while Zepla and Callum Upton also reacting to him (also live) with Josh himself reacting to them too
And yet Asmons still got it figured out.
the only thing I remember about this guy was he accidentally shared his d3 password and he was cleaned out immediately. They left him a horadric hamburger.
😂😂😂
Im pretty sure that was fake... apparently it worked.
The fact that streamer jesus can pick out a single viewer from somebody elses streams and be like he was in here two weeks ago is mind blowing to me
Asmon's memory is like that one guy from that one thing.
It's crazy.
That part made me burst out laughing, like what the hell!?
His recollection is truly superhuman. Shame it's wasted like this.
@@lotanowo Is that what caused him to lose his hair?
@@lotanowo lmao, wasted? I disagree!
U can tell Asmon still has great admiration for Athene for what he did for WoW and u can see he took inspiration for his "streaming persona" from him as well
lol
@@beny988why?
Admiration and then he calls him a scammer lol
@@Urketadic well yeah, asmons always been proud of being a scammer lol
@@beny988 SJW spotted
i love the "how did this guy become a cult leader" documentary, followed by a scam ad
Fr tho I was thinking the same exact thing. That product was fucking sketchy AF. It's like when that "Dr" went on Rogan and said he invented a pill that makes it so you can drink and not get drunk lol. Honestly straight up reckless and liability right there. If he tried to sell that he would have been sued into oblivion 😂🤦🏻♂️ this z shit seems pretty much toeing the same line. At least it's not making a claim that you can drink and drive on it haha. But still that shit definitely hundred percent fake. It prob just mineral water or something. Hopefully it's not actually harmful to consume itself.. I swear it's just like with established titles happening rn. People need to do a better job vetting their sponsors if they want to keep a good relationship with their audience. It's putting short term profit over long term. But I understand it's money on the table rn vs the long term being extremely hard to calculate accurately and a lot of outside veritables. Why risk losing that potential income rn when you might just mess up in the future from something else and loose the respect and following anyway 🤷🏻♂️ there's no garentee that doing the right thing will pay off in more fans and loyalty. In turning down that money you could make more in the future or you might not at all. If they just feel it's safer for them to go for the immediate payoff rather than gamble on the future..
@@skylerdann5712
Nah, see you got it all wrong. Theres an unspoken agreement between the creator and us. We know that hes gotta make a living in order to provide us with free entertainment. So we understand the advertising. But he also understands, we aint buying none of this goofy shite. Whether it was real or not. Peddle whatever ya gotta peddle, keep making videos, and im gonna just hit >>ff 10 seconds until we get back to whatever weird thing the video is about.
1:00 'You never ever ever break character.' - Well, not until you've done the DVD commentary.
33:19 the most GIGACHAD moment of this stream
It's crazy how someone goes from WoW goofball to a cult leader
If only he connected to his father and became a real muslim (humble, not thinking he IS the cult reader but just a humble person), he would have gone so far in his life, way ore than what his friend continued to bump him up for nothing, imagine having 2 Billions viewers relating to you
@@griffydz1789 if only he connected his father and instead of being a cult leader, followed another one....
Asmon DOES look like a bit like Jesus, maybe it's time for him to start the cult of the TRUUUUEE
@@griffydz1789
I don't disagree with you, but the difference between the two is leading a cult vs joining one and I can't help see humor in that.
Again though I agree he probably would be more successful if he just became a Muslim vs leading his Atheneans.
@@Erik-ce3hq well see how muslims belief, they miltiplied into 2 billions, they love family values etc, they value a being superior to everything (a being that ignited the big bang equations), thats better than of having the cult of "a person". Instead everybody submit to a being superior (aslama = submitting)
This means, he would see himself in a way humbler way and people could relate to him more rather than leaving him.
Does that make sens to you? It does to me.
Asmon talks about Athene like a grandpa talking about Micky Mantle.
I actually won or got something from T.T.T.T back in the day. Athene put me in the vid and over night i had like 800+subs or something. Around the same time swifty was doing something too i remember and I won that or something happened with that too and he mentioned my channel and over night again, gained like 1200+. Woke up to so many notifcations and i think i was like 18 or something at the time, i didn't know what to do. Swifty also sent me a mouse which was dope because i didn't have an mmo mouse at the time lol.
i remember when athene got sponsored by razer, i won a lottery in one of his streams and i got a razer ultimate nordic edition keyboard, hell, i still have it to this day
I remember watching him climb to diamond on league and he was stealing all his junglers camps on ryze to boost his level. The original involuntary funnel strategy lol
he duoquedd with a challenger irelia often
Athene is like a boss in elden ring or something. Some guy who had it all and messed it all up, but just wont give up anyway despite the fact he's slowly being corrupted by himself
So Artorias
@@MATCHLESS93 Just like everything M said, Artorias is like that all, so Quote is fully correct in saying hes like that.
@@MATCHLESS93 Not everything's going to be 100% alike, its drawing parrallels. No one said Athene is Artorias, just that he has similiarities.
Awhile ago I repented to God then begged for help, "I was until then an Atheist."
I then had a dream of Jesus coming before God and he spoke of the Tabernacle in perfect context, "A word I didn't know existed.", and what I felt from Jesus when I held him was unlike anything I've ever felt before - A lifetime of Love every second - It brought me to sobbing and it changed my life, forever.
I've had other experiences since, "Several witnessed", one was seeing a bright orb of light pass across my face in the dark, hours before a major surgery the second I gave up in my heart.
Know that God and Jesus ARE real and that they Love us deeply. Let go of your hatred and Imagine yourself holding the people who've hurt you. Tell them you Love them.
Always have hope, I believe that prayer, following God's laws & Love is the answer, and through that, becoming humble, merciful, welcoming, giving, and forgiving, To All.
Bat Chest just like my video games!!!! Woaw!
Some extra info:
Tania, his girlfriend, was voted hottest girl of CZcams at the time.
He got evicted from the Big Brother house early because he was preventing a lot of drama, mediating and calming people down.
@@whuzzzup no it is positive athene does not have children, else they will be born into that retarded clicking cult.
@@whuzzzup lmao what
@@whuzzzup they have a kid together, but dont talk about it. I think its name is reese
I am not a woo woo type. The word dark empath comes to mind. This guy could read other emotions so well and minupulate many. But deep down was a sociopath.
Not hard to win when you're the only woman on CZcams.
Can't believe I completely forgot about this guy he was at the very least a very funny guy loved watching his videos
I have a fond memory of him raging in mirc after we won again him and his gnome warrior friend. 😅 We had some anti combo.. and refused to re log into arena. This was before the battlegroup merge in Europe, fun time.

but isnt this TTTT stuff basically the PVP honor mode from game to get top rank? cuz u needed others to help you?
nothing new...
Hes doing AI streams now - theyre actually super fun
@narsakucanada154 you go copy pasting that around CZcams?
_"Begone, then, Athene. May the last whisper of your name fade... and be forgotten."_
He was ahead of the curve on everything he did, honestly. I remember watching the videos back in the day, and the fucking hype when he released that "wrath of the L33T king" movie, it was like 1h+ video.
Well there you go, he mentioned it.
I remember his sidekick acting black and dropping the n word every now and then and it was completely normal lmao
OG Furious
Yeah but to be fair OG Furious was a personna, the actual dude (L something, i forgot, he had a different channel where he was normal and discussing topics) was a pretty cool and normal dude. 2000s were a wild time for the internet though, and comedy was more free, so a white dude just having fun and acting like he's from the hood as his personna wasn't that big of a deal, it was actually hilarious as fuck
I bought the DVD of the Athene documentary way back when and it included a strand of his hair.
ill buy it for 100 bucks
lmao
@@hugoanderholm3191 200 and i throw in a pubic hair
the thing about cults and people in cults (my family were part of a cult known as the kabalarians) it is extremely common behavior for them to leave the cult and return multiple times even. this doesn't mean she's lying or telling the truth, mind you, but it's something that is VERY common in cults. it's often due to the fact that the cult has become their entire life and they are scared or don't fully know how to live outside of it. with that said, this has no baring on how true or untrue statements are and shouldn't be used as a determiner.
For anyone interested, in Japan and Korea it's really common to take a pre-drinking or post-drinking supplement. I can't say it's the same thing, but it's a thing haha.
I remember the Africa donation stream with Athene where he was teaching some etopian guy what twitch meant when they were spamming SWAG and Kappa.
I've never seen a gamer's mid-life crisis before. That was friggen entertaining AF
I remember watching OGfurious content, after a while he stopped being involved in Athene videos and made youtube video where it was just him, no longer playing the character and just talking about various things, never saw him linked to the Athene group anymore so i don't know what happened there. Out of character he seemed more likeable than the others, so i guess he escaped this cult period that the group had now gone down
yep Dean moved to Croatia to escape the cult
The parallel's with you two is insane. Athene went with the tom cruise scientology cult DLC , Asmon is going for the jesus and his folowers path.
ahaha this guy was legendary xD and 'furious' his shirtless sidekick that talks like rocky. aah, nostalgia
Athene and WoWHobbs were the first two wow youtubers I ever watched back in the day..discovered Asmond during WoD I believe.
Damn, this dude had the craziest redemption arc of 2023 with the AI stuff 🤣🤣
I still remeber his world first races and the time when he accidently typed in his password on stream in the account name field and got hacked. Good old days.
One of my friends actually got caught up in his weirdo cult. I couldn't believe it, as an ex-wow player, when she explained that the person behind it all was this guy, who I remember making weird wow videos back in the day
What was it like? Was she okay?
my friend is still there :/ all i can say is that she developed mental issues since she got there. we are all worried including her folks, but she's extremely indoctrinated and brainwashed.. she comes home once a year and does crazy shit whenever she's here
@@startledhamsterat first I feel bad for these people but then I think "how stupid and easily gullible do you have to be to fall for this bs" and and any sympathy I have immediately dissipates.
people who play alliance really are different lmao
Nob
Right
the part where he (narrator of the video being watched) said “it’s almost as if you need to play some sort of character to get famous”, I have thought this same thing so many times watching some online (wether it’s streamers or even people who talk online a lot, many of them seem to play a character)
Save the Children is a legit org, if they had not received the money they would have called Athene out for scamming. He scammed a lot of peoples for sure, but I do not believe he could have get away with scamming a NGO
LITERALLY never heard of the guy
I spend a lot of time on Athene's minecraft sever back in the days, was a great time for me at least. Would be great to see this come back. My "house" was even featured on the stream doing some disco/Night club with redstone xD
"I'll suck you if you suck me" marketing. I remember learning about that back when I took Advertising 101 :D
Man, Athene selling a strand to his hair was such a legendary move.
What amazes me is that I learnt about his existence via a charity event he called Avengers, in wich he called french streamers to help raise money. After the first edition they parted way with him and the main streamer behind it created an annual weekend called ZEvent. It's now the event that holds the record for a charity fundraiser on Twitch/internet. They raised more than 10 million euros on their last edition
Kinda amazing to see athenes AI comeback rn
Dean Leyson (Furious) actually had some decent content on youtube awhile back for its time, stopped posting almost a decade ago now though.
Basically if you would translate the NEE would mean NO in English or like vote NO in fact something along those lines... Translated form Belgium
Guy made an Athene video and didn't know who Furious was. Shameful.
If zack made a podcast.. Asmongold vs the world or something lmfao. love listenting to ur take on everything man 😂
The author got the “Reese” identity wrong. Furious split ways along time ago.
And now the singularity group has developed autonomous AI, that soon will be streaming 24/7 show with sentient George Carlin. What say you now, critics?
"Oh I see you" XD That one got me.
The stern stare from Furious in the background is the best thing.
What a shame, Athena was a true legend of the game back then, his videos had me in stitches
yeah he was so groovy mannn
I really enjoyed Athene's Diablo 3 videos. Especially his DH diablo runs
He was alos ahead of his time on the ai president/streamer stuff.
I mean he's the reason why I started playing Holy Paladin and the one class I always stick with.
Brain dead classssss
That ad placement was legendary.
The new speed for speed looks excellent. Referring to the beginning part.
10:12, what if Philions ad is also asmondgolds sponsor. So it looks like he has no ad while making money for an ad in disguise! Genius 😊
*THERE IS NO DOUBT* on the matter who is insane.
Athena has been working with literally hundreds of people over decades, and none of them except this lady was sayings he is into emotional abuse, or that he is insane. (Though he is a troll, of course.)
(PRPS) and (DUBI) = Dubious Purpose = DP. Titan-tier-troll.
Athenewins was the wildest gamer was such a blast in wotlk
The scarlet crusade inquisitor right there 🤣
Yooo i remember big brother, the place where they stayed wasn't even too far from where i lived in the time, we would usually pass it on our way back home from the store, like i loved that show as a kid even tho i didn't understand sht of what was goign on and it evantually got canceled due to too much violence and abuse i think.
This is a LEGEND! ATHENE! ohhh old days... good old days....
I remember Furious. Furious made some of these videos way better than they actually were. That's what Athene is missing, more emphasis on his friends
Reaction retrospective? thought this one was already done
dubi in the uk or doobie, is a joint, as in canabis, man just wanted a smoke
This were the days man. Athene + Pure Pwnage = Good old days
Loved Pure Pwnage.
BOOOOM HEAD SHOT
Athene and Swifty for me
Ah man Pure Pwnage really takes me back, good old days indeed !
Would be cool if asmon reacted to pure pwnage too
LOL I was just watching this and some other old school D3 videos from Kripp/Athene/Moldran back then 😂
10:33 Music: Karl casey - seeking
Never drink while driving, always wait until you're at a stop sign.
should actually have a conversation with athene
You should watch an interview with Athene and that online therapist or psychiatrist... You might feel differently about what you said then lol
I used to pvp grind back in TBC/wotlk. I was like 15 and terminally online. I only found out who athene is from commentary channels this year
It would be fun to watch interview between asmongold and athene
Quitting a cult is really hard. We had one in my country. The lady have a lot of scars and she lost an arm. She wrote a book about it. She was always keeping returning to the cult even if she was experiencing torture.
NO WAY!
I'm from the Netherlands and remember the NEE party from our neighbours in Belgium. That was Athene?
0:05 already like where asmon's energy 10/10
I love his content with OG furious, that guy was a colleague of mine and was actually a very normal funny dude
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT. After basically losing 10 seasons worth of time of my life in LoL, I had no Idea that AHG was named after this guy. Mindblown.
Yep I've got the same reason as to why I chose not to drink.... its money I don't want to spend. That and when I find a drink I like (various types of soda) I tend to drink a TON of it and I'd rather not be an alcoholic.
Unfortunately I'm at the point were if I go without soda/caffeine for even a single day, I feel like absolute 💩... so no need to add another problem drink into the mix.
1:15 OGFurious?!? I adore WoW, but I've never heard of Athene ~ used to watch Furious ageees ago tho!! My worlds are colliding!
Asmongold is literally the lineage of athene.
I still believe he’s the best paladin in the world .
He is
Crusader
athene should be one of the best streamers in the world but blow my mind that he became like this...but I should say I love Tania still together with him
I remember watching his streams in the good old days and he always had a weird vibe
the 'good old days' were before he streamed, it was back in 2007/08 when it was just youtube video's.
Green Party... yea, weird and crazy even at 19 before all his fame started.
the character must never be broken asmongold
You know, I got athene and asmongold mixed up and thought they were the same person for a very long time
YES!!! I’m so glad I’m not the only one. Back in like Cata / MOP days
i do that with internet ppl all the time
this is like the 3rd time he's reacting to athene lmao
If any of you remember the old Mia Rose clips then you know Athene really does have a huge member. There is no reason for him to start a cult to get girls. He is just super into performance art.
Ok sure buddy
0:02 when i realised what im maining for dragonflight
I've been on CZcams since 2007. This is legitimately the first time I've ever heard or seen this guy.
Good grief that box monitor LOL those were the days 😔
Furious is not involved with Athene. I know this and I've not been watching Athene since the LOL era. Phillion should at least get the names right..
you don't want to look in to ur phone too often either. i totaled my beloved mk4 golf and it was painful 2 weeks.
16:25 : best quotes ever i heard in my life
30:59 is that the tipsy bartender guy ? dude has not aged one day!!!
Justice for Grenades… he won the roll on perditions blade
Green Party... Yea, he was crazy from the start.
I find it wholesome that Asmon actually does see us.
😄I seen this Vid last week and waited for my boy asmongold to react to it..........Thanks guys🖖
basics to successful buinss is 3 pillers the product the purpose the attraction
the purpouse is the secret the product it whats presented and the attaction is hype they create around the culture.
if you can obtain these 3 pillers in a product you will be given some form of success but you gotta live a selfless life style and employees/wagies just haven't got the willingness to give up to get anything. it's all Obtain and keep
Streamer Turned Cult Leader Turned AI Show Host 😂
The dude looks exactly like Matt Bellamy from muse 💙🤖💙🤖💙🤖💙🤖💙🤖💙
His missin athene poker phase, and know that when the hair is up like a palm , hes on character
