Guard: hey heavily armoured man sitting on a bench have you seen a heavily armoured man that wasn't sitting down

[@shawnfields2369]

Hey, let's ask this heavily armored man in a white hood, who's inconspicuously sitting down, if he's seen this heavily armored man wearing a white hood who WASNT sitting, but standing and, a bit earlier, I swear I thought I saw him blending into a crowd of monks. Maybe this armored old man with a black hood knows where this heavily armored white hooded man went? Or maybe the heavily armored white hooded guy was pretending to hide in with a crowd of monks, and then, put a black hood on? These assassins, they're a clever lot...

[@NickC_222]

In my current playthrough of Skyrim I decided to use the fortify restoration loop to create a ring that improves my sneak skill by a literal factor of 10,000. It improves sneak by just over 1,000,000%. Now I can crouch and become invisible even in front of friendlies. There's not a single being, friend or foe, in the entire universe who can see me when I make myself slightly shorter than normal, EVEN INCLUDING while I'm actively attacking them with magica. They literally can never detect me. They know _someone_ is there, _somewhere_ , but the ring is so OP that if I'm not standing upright, I'm totally and permanently invisible. It's fun.

[@AlwaysANemesis]

The Skyrim stealth gets so much more hilarious when you've invested enough time into using Illusion magic to get the Quiet Casting perk; the sounds of dying screams in lieu of big, fuck-off fireballs is suppressed for everything in the game. So you can mark 'deaf' on the laundry list of things wrong with the denizens of Skyrim, but that might have been a given seeing as how a burly beast-and/or-person is shouting dragon swear words at hapless wildlife alongside everything else that moves.

[@birdiepitchfeather63]

Well, illusion magic is basically messing around with the enemies minds like playdough, so it’s not that they are suddenly deaf now, but literally forcing them to not perceive it

[@nightcatarts]

The silliest thing about those Alien: Isolation lockers is that they're such a long way into the future, but continue to make the same annoying racket as they have done since the 1940s.

My husband somehow eluded the police in GTA5 after the gold heist at the end by accidentally falling into a sidewalk just around the corner from the heist. The walkway went alongside the building and was sort of sunken so it was below the level of the road. As he panicked because he was stuck, he eventually realized that the police couldn't see him and had absolutely no idea where he was. If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I never would have believed him when he told me about it. Lights... sirens... pandemonium... and those little starts started flashing and ticking down. Absolutely could not believe it!

With the latter it does say that it "only fools them for a short while. Lynels are smart."

[@shroomslayergaming2117]

Lynels figure it out after about 3-5 seconds. And then kick your butt because the mask provides almost zero defense.

Speaking of paper masks, Okami does the same thing. In the Moon Cave you get a blank sheet of paper to draw on as a mask.

To be fair to AC games, hiding in a crowd is actually a really good way to hide, and having a sword and dagger wasn't exactly unusual for Italian gentlemen of the period. (What's more unusual is that every single civilian is NOT armed to the teeth. 1500ish was not a good period for Italy.)

[@ngoyette94]

rashkavar seriously the fact that Etzio was visibly armed probably made him the least suspicious looking person on the screen

[@edisonmichael6345]

Yeah, there's that. I mean, they had to implement laws forbiding people from randomly loosing arrows out of their windows for sport (prior to that, the logic kind of was "without aiming, there was no malicious intent", I supose). Renaissance Italy might have being great for art, but was actually pretty weird.

[@Skippster]

rashkavar but the fact they were just chasing him and all the sudden, oh he was alone silly, that’s not him

[@rashkavar]

Skipster 999 90 Eh, I'm willing to forgive that because of the limitations of the game - a real world Ezio would be wearing clothes that blend in, it's just that they make him distinct and easily distinguished from the masses for game design reasons. It's the same kind of issue as the civs not being visibly armed - they would be, but if everyone was wearing a sword, it'd be harder to figure out who's a guard and who's a possible hiding place. And if you're thinking they'd recognize his face, there's a couple of major problems with that - the hood makes it harder to catch a good look at the face from the side, so they might not know his face - even if they dueled, their focus would be more on the sword and body movements - focusing on a man's face in a sword fight looks cool and manly, but is a good way to get stabbed with a sword. Plus, crowds tend to make scanning faces a bit challenging - though granted, it takes more than the 3 other people it takes in the game to cause that effect. If you want a bigger flaw, it's the courtesan thing - the guy standing in the middle of a group of 4 dancing, flirtatious, hot women is going to attract a lot of attention. And while some men will spent their time looking at the girls, plenty are going to be glaring jealously at the guy.

Just Hide under a tiny table and your safe, keep in mind that they can look under table, but still the cant see you- even if the were chasing you 1 second ago, your safe!... Oh, and Heres a fun glitch while we are at it. In the bedroom of the chefs, wake the chef up. Get him to notice you and jump on the other side of the bed, walk a bit around and avoid him. And afther a while he Will.... forget that he’d could walk to the other side of the bed, and would just try to Get you from one side. (Ill update this if i find more weird hiding spot/items)

[@wafflemage2400]

About botw Bokos mobs and lizals aren't the sharpest tools in the shed And lynels recognize you after a while but the crime here is that they don't immediately recognize you due to your size

[@IdioKun]

DJderpydodash I agree with you about lynels but how come none of the other monsters can’t find you based off your size. I mean even if they are about as smart as a rock the size thing is pretty sad

[@fishecod2552]

you can just hide underneath a lizalfos' neck. It sounds crazy, but their programmed line of sight does not cover there. you can literally hide right under their noses

[@Renisence]

God the conveniently shaped lamp was such a fun scene.

[@sapphireshores6112]

Haven't you ever noticed that Frisk would standing NEXT to the lamp from Papy's POV? Someone also said that Sans was trying to make Papy think that Frisk WAS the lamp.

[@marhawkman303]

That and Sans is a master of annoying his brother. Sans was taking the approach he knew would be most frustrating for Papyrus.

[@renthewerecat]

how come a goblin can see you from the top of a moutain yet not see that you're wearing a mask!

[@lloydhedges3011]

The alien entry assumes the aliens know what lockers are or how they work. Not really sure how a species of creatures that clesrly havnt even harnessed fire or even individual thought is supposed to look at a human device it has no conceptual knowledge of and go "hmm, I bet that's a storage unit and I extra bet something is hiding in it" Be the same as plopping cat food inside a safe and wondering why the cat hasn't bothered figured out how to use a dial lock.

[@CaffeineDeprivation]

And the aliens *will* eventually figure it out, if you hide in lockers often enough. Just like they do with all of the other hiding places.

[@Jenna2k]

Humans smell. If it has a good nose it's fine. Also any noise and it could shoot its tail thing.

[@MetabolicSpore0]

To be fair I'm pretty sure the shadow warrior perk is supposed to be magic... At least that's what I told myself so as not to lose all respect for my enemies in that game.

[@TheGreatDrake]

Well if you watch when it's used there is that shadowy aura coming off of you implying it is magic.

[@MinistryOfMagic_DoM]

Remember this is also a game where it's totally legal to rummage through people's pockets and homes as long as you're just checking.

[@Thesaurus_Rex]

If you look at it in third person, you are literally becoming invisible for a second or two. Though that raises the question as to why being very sneaky can make you become transparent.

The conveniently shaped lamp was a joke. It wouldn't have worked, that was the entire point. Papyrus could see frisk from the lamp

[@Dovah_Slayer]

But papyrus is an idiot so it did work

[@alexandranicosia5907]

I just remembered in Skylanders Swap-Force there’s a level where you have to disguise yourself as a sheep to get past the security robots. What makes it ridiculous is that the disguise you wear is made out of a cardboard box and some other stuff.

[@donnykitsune6289]

Detection software must have been horrible, eh?

But did you see those couple times where no-one was presenting it. Just an empty chair with cuts to game clips. Then a minute of empty chair at the end.. Also, have you seen Ellen?

[@MinistryOfMagic_DoM]

I thought they just had Ellen doing voice over this week. I assumed she was off at a games conference or something.

[@blacky_Ninja]

6:18 That just looks like they just played chatch and sitting on a bench is a safezone from being cought. The guard is angry that you reached the Bench before he could get you, but since he is a fair player he doesn‘t just stick around until you get up to catch you. Such a nice playmate🥰

[@AshKetchum442]

One year my best friend got me a “Heavy Weapons Guy Body Pillow” by buying a regular body pillow and putting a Spy Heavy mask on it

[@GreenGuyGeno]

Everywhere in Persona 5. Press X and suddenly, you are invisible, even when a guard is not even a meter away from where you are "hiding". And let's face it, the Phantom Thieves aren't exactly subtle as their name implies.

[@lnsflare1]

Green Guy Geno To be fair, you're in the cognitive world and hiding from aspects of humanity's collective unconsciousness, so the idea of stealth is as important as actual stealth.

[@rickypedia999]

lnsflare1 *clap, clap* fair argument.

[@brandonwithnell612]

even in the real world segments they kind of suck at hiding with all previous victims of the phantom thieves targets hanging out in a single group meanwhile ryuiji loudly shouts "its a good thing no one knows were really the phantom thieves" XD

[@lnsflare1]

Brandon Withnell Ryuji's gotta Ryuji. Sides, SPOILER other than when they started hanging out with Yusuke, none of their new friends had any known connections with anyone that had a Change of Heart until after the violations had already figured out their identities... though I guess that they didn't really know that until after they had already had the daughter of their most recent target them to a private booking of not-Disney-Land on the very day that they expected him to publicly reveal his crimes. SPOILER

[@impatient_shadow5]

Speaking of phantom thieves the sneak levels in rhythm thief, standing in the same lose as statues and bushes opposite guards, yeah that'll work

Fun fact: "Took an arrow to the knee" was an old Norse phrase meaning "Got Married" because you'd get down on one knee.

[@Dovah_Slayer]

But Bethesda confirmed the phrase was meant to be taken literally so

[@LizzardGirl713]

hearing them talk about hiding from the xenomorph in Alien: Isolation is even more hilarious now after Ellen's Fear Academy playthrough. Sure, she died a bunch, but only after getting away with way too many dodgy hiding places.

[@Biodeamon]

spy's box taunt in tf2: its even better/worse because you're playing against actual humans I've actually captured CPs using the box

[@LordDeathwing17]

Biodeamon I think you would get a kick out of Muselk’s TF2 Boxtrot Spy videos.

[@pinguin4898]

everyone looks for a human-shaped moving target, and as a box you don't find a lot of attention from the pros. also some people actually backcapped with a box in COMPETITIVE

Well, to be fair, owning a sword in medieval times wasn't really that rare to begin with. The bigger problem is the "protagonist robes".

[@patrickmccurry1563]

In many medieval cities, it was illegal for most citizens to carry swords. While in many renaissance places, it was all but required to carry them.

[@MrBlackhill937]

What really made me laugh is Ellens face when the 2 guys say, she's not here! i'm gonna steal her biscuits!

[@violetmoon1587]

Have we talked about the barrels in Lego Harry Potter? I think we have but if not-THE BARRELS!? The barrels that seem to move a few feet à la creepy Watson every time you turn your back for a second? The barrels conveniently placed for just that moment you need to hide

[@LordDeathwing17]

Violet Moon the barrels with which you get the “Solid Snape” achievement?

[@beholdnonsense5100]

Violet Moon I thought for a second that this was a reference to another channel, Graenolf, because the guy never shuts up about barrels.

Violet Moon which Harry Potter the year 5-7 or the old one on the Xbox 369

Solid Smeagol, Ellen.

[@Vinemaple]

The bench is also used in We Happy Few, along with a newspaper. Only one character can do that, though. Also: World of Warcraft has at least 20 quests involving a comically obvious hiding place. More if you blur the line between hiding place and disguise, because they use the same joke with disguises.

[@TCBStudios]

The shark from "Jaws" was affectionately refered to as "Brucie" by the cast and crew of the movie.

Sneak level 100 is almost annoying when walking past the Falmer. They're so quiet and it's often quite dark so sometimes I don't notice them until I'm right in front of them. They obviously don't see me, but they're super creepy either way...
