I really wish Scarecrow breaking the fourth wall had made it into City and especially Knight

I can't stop laughing at the fact that she managed to cheese the first act of the big vengefly boss fight 😂 bec she couldnt stay at the platform long enough for it to lunge at her

The assumption that the constitution is divorced from the will of the people…. Smells like heresy

The problem with the racism isn't that no one says the n-word, it's that it's a very surface-level observation of racism that ends with the conclusion of someone who is actually just racist.

For he did not know, that beyond the lake that he called home, lies a deeper, darker ocean green. Where waves are both Wilder, and more Serene. To its ports I’ve been, to its ports I’ve been. Do you understand?

IF MARK HAMIL IS STILL JOKER WHY DID THEY KILL OFF JOKER?!

tbh i feel like hollow knight is not a good game to start someone out with. i (as a relatively casual player) dropped the game after getting lost in greenpath and only returned a year later after essentially spoiling the entire thing for myself and thinking "hey having dash and claw seems fun" idk if making the starting hours of hollow knight easier to appeal to more casual players is a good idea but id prefer a quicker start (just getting dash earlier)

Hey, have you tried out helldivers 2 again?

Im also in a good spot to prove those people wrong since the ps5 was me first ps so i knew os some of the characters but since really care about any bots more than others till i got the fall guys one and the brand new spidey ones

I know almost none of the cameo bots, but I still loved this game.

What can I say that hasn’t already been said? You-and all the disgustingly talented cats you herded-didn’t just move me, you turned me upside down and shook all the loose change out of my pockets. Figured you should have it.

I paid 7 bucks and one play through was enough for me. Phuc the whole ooo gotta kill the baddie again and again and he will mimic past hero fight bs.

What does real socialism look like?

The worst thing about this entire game is Jason's haircut. This man woke up and decided to shave his head except for a douchey buzz cut for...what reason? It's not to help his head fit his mask. It's to punish you, the player, for daring to spend money on this game.

Unsure if this has ever been mentioned, but I was playing with my girlfriend today and she noticed that the tv switches set up on the TV playing the first episode of Night Springs are actually configured to read as sheet music, and it plays the Night Springs theme if you read it.

I never played DS2, the only Fromsoft game I ever played is Elden Ring (surprise!), so I have no horse in this race at all, but I will say, I don't know what's funnier in the video ; the fact that Noobus loves DS2, or the fact that Monty takes advantage of the video to air his issues with it. 🤣

I can imagine Captain Cold just outright murdering Boomerang for his disrespect. And that thought makes me smile.

The point of a morality decision is for the evil decision to be the more selfishly-useful, easy solution. It would make no sense for it to be disincentivized. In order for a morally good choice to be morally good, it must be more difficult & frustrating to achieve, as well as less rewarding materially. Evil gives you power, while Good gives you contentment.

Obiwan Shinobi & The Lionking - That`s a movie I`d like to see :)

fun fact i learned by accident: if you have your music turned down during the johnny charisma part, its just joker dancing at batman awkwardly

Small detail, but I love that your avatar regularly changes with Cal’s different hair. Mullet and ‘stache all day

Gotta love the babe reference at 39:30

So, obviously very late on this. But also the opening metaphor of the poster on the wall is also making reference to "plato's cave." Very simplified version, but: imagine you're in a cave and you've never left it. But while you've never seen the outside world, you have seen shadows on the wall from the outside world. Because of this shift in perspective from someone who lives outside the cave, you both will likely have very different ideas what the outside world is actually like. But also, since you've never left the cave, you have no idea that your ideas of the outside world are just shadows. It's a reflection on perspective, and how you -by definition- can never know the limits of your perspective until/unless you shift to a new one. And so the poster on the wall is a representation like the shadows...but its a *fabricated* representation. So, we manufacture the shadow instead of "leaving the cave." Metatextually it's also talking about how media - the game you are playing even - is a form of fabricated shadows. And then the game goes through a discussion of the relationship between audience and media. So yeah, it seems weird and heavy-handed, but even that is related to the conversation the game is having. Which level/perspective are you engaging with this media (the game) from? Are you the player? Are you Polaris? Are you Jessie? Are you the FBC? Are you looking at the poster on the wall...or the poster on the wall that is depicted *on* the poster? The point is less about having some specific answer, but rather that each of the options have interesting implications and are worth thinking about and engaging with.

I think that there’s a lot to learn about the writing here that’s important for any story. When attempting to make people look smart you either need to be smart and write intelligent and thorough dialogue or you need to make things up that sound scientific enough. Tim and Barbra, especially Barbra are not presented as intelligent enough to garner the respect and identity they are given at all. Instead of trying to give an example of intelligence between the characters. The writers very clearly just dumbed down Jason and Dick. There’s more moments than just the characters intelligence that is fundamentally misunderstood by the writers, but that is what stood out to me in a game where you are trying to compensate for the missing “worlds greatest detective.”

Great vid! Noobus request/recommendation: Returnal! Also, Don’t Starve/DST are great. Cheers! 🍻

I never liked this game. Never. And I'll never play it nor buy it. Sure there are loads of issues about it. But for me it's Woke narrative and direction and the fact that you have to kill super heroes... And the fact they destroyed Joker, Mr. Freeze and made Harley and WW ugly as sin.

I tried Bloodborne years ago as my 1st “Souls” attempt during a time I faced a ton of work/life stress 😵‍💫… and Sadly quit. I’ve since beaten Elden Ring (🏆👑), tried Demon Souls (❤)…and HAVE to reattempt BB asap! Your gf killed it 👊🏻 Ps, if retro is your thing try Nightmare Creatures, & Hexen for some comparable oldschool charm/difficulty/gothiness. 🤘🏻

Knowing nothing about Bloodborne, I will admit, the way the Messengers are shown in this game doesn't necessarily tell me that they are allies to the players, at least not from the little bit of cutscene shown in this video. Perhaps the game itself is more obvious about it, I wouldn't know, but based on this particular video and the way the Messengers are shown, I wouldn't assume they are friendlies. So I totally get Noobus. I would have assumed the same she did.

I think if we took everything from infinite and removed the story and deeper messaging, it is the best Bioshock, the game feel is incredible, the city being a perfect utopia of the American dream down to it's faults, the movement, artstyle, the gun play, the slightly improved tonics that replaces the complicated and clunky adam system from the previous games, it's almost perfect.

What a great video 👏 I just recently brought the game and I really enjoyed my time playing it. I found myself agreeing with everything you said, especially the complaints with the jump and the dash 😅. This game really surprised me because I was actually expecting a simple game and it ended up being very complex.

Monty: The frustration really started to set in… Noobus: LADS! Par-tay?

She made the same mistake I did, a fellow female gamer: never learned to slash downward to pogo. I'd seen enough spikes in other games it didn't click in the tutorial that I could slash down, and the enemies were never below me either. By the time I hit the Crossroads I stuck with LRU, no D. On top of my then dinosaur of a laptop, lagging every hit animation, and my learning curve was steep. But I recently started a new playthrough. Practice does indeed make perfect. I'd 110% it back before all the DLC, then when it came out I ground through it. Game's a breeze, first death (after a hiatus of years) was in deepnest.

DKC music instead of GreenPath? Brave. Bold. Beautiful blasphemy. 😋 Killer vid guys 👊🏻 Candle, Celeste, Seasons After Fall, Don’t Starve, Nobody Saves the World, Tunic, & Struggling= some more equally amazing hidden indie gems worth checking out! (Cuphead, Ori & Rayman Legends too)

The most unfair part of hornet is when she stops hopping all around the arena and just calmly walks right into you.

Brother, you won in life. I've just been smiling the whole video

12:36 there’s no character named mike in breaking bad jonathan banks played finger in that show

Would love to see you two play it takes two

batman would OBVIOUSLY be altering crane's fear toxin to be far less dangerous if he were to use it after the arkham knight. he wouldn't be gassing the streets. how about a GADGET that shoots a DART with a dose, or literally any of the other ways he could use it. for someone who seems pretty smart, it's crazy that you have such a stupid take on the theory of the ending, and somehow thought the best possible theory was the worst. the weirdest straw-manning i've ever seen in my life. bat-man was depicted the EXACT same way in crane's delusion at the end of the game. it was literally the perfect ending. a bat-man with so much fear on his side, he didn't need to give people brain damage and a 7 month trip to the hospital to be effective. even if i was wrong, and it was symbolic, you REALLY think there's a world where a healthy bruce wayne would fake his death and just give up being bat-man? and even worse, enjoyed that ending?? that's more of a disservice to the arkham series than this shitty game was.

Unrelates to the game, but Id love more scp readings they were fantastic in between the review sections. Sprinklings of extra treats on top of a great video

I like to think, after the drowning. The circle was broken, leaving booker to a new reality. One where he never went to wounded knee. He still loses his wife but he has Anna and well booker has hope. A chance to find happiness. But what can I say? I’m a sap

Recently replayed this game and I'm pretty sure they made it so you couldn't KO informants because the game would glitch out and wouldn't highlight them green for whatever reason, making it impossible to keep track of them. Instead of fixing it, maybe they made it so you can't knock them out at all just to keep you from doing it accidentally. It happened twice my last playthrough and at least once every other time. AO is an incredible story but the plot and characters are doing a LOT of heavy lifting

Probably blackwashing a character and then not using alan wake for the majority of the game didn't help. more like alan woke sjssjsjsj

1:11 i think people aren’t really proficient at using star-lord, because between switching elements, melee, and regular shooting sometimes I fight with just atar-lord without using the team commands just for fun

For all it's faults, the story and presentation of Origins will always make it my favorite entry among the series.

i saw the thumbnail and thought silksong?

I love a good Spyro video essay. The third game is the first one i played and i love it so much. It felt the most balanced of all the games, the variety of minigames is amazing and im just so fond of it!

Bitches like you need to stop making videos. The game was perfect
