7 Videogame Scientists Who Should Have Known Better

[@LyricaSilvan]

Professor Hojo from Final Fantasy 7 should have been at least an honorary mention. The dude put alien cells inside his own unborn son, tried to breed a human with a lion, turned a normal man into a functionally immortal demon, and was generally just a completely psychotic bastard.

[@riozuiderduin9928]

+Lyrica Silvan Eeeyup. Hojo should have been on here for the attempted breeding stunt alone. "Let's see. I'll just put this squishy human female into a glass tube with a wild cat creature and watch 'em make babies". Besides the relative inefficiency of actual physical reproduction? Well, uh. Let's just say that anybody who knows cats knows that this would have ended VERY PAINFULLY for Aerith if it had gone as Hojo planned. And I don't mean getting mauled. One word-- "spikes". No. Two words-- "Spikes. Ouch." >_>;;; And then wanting to sit there and watch it all happen. What a freak.

[@LyricaSilvan]

Rio Zuiderduin I firmly believe Hojo must have had one of those mental disorders that makes people unable to feel emotions. Why else would he have such an abject apathy toward the fact that everything he did fucked up somebody's entire existence?

[@riozuiderduin9928]

Lyrica Silvan This is quite possible. He doesn't even have the Jenova cells to blame for that, either (which he injected into himself as well, pretty early on). The whole mess with Professor Gast was, I believe, before he injected himself with Jenova cells.

[@LyricaSilvan]

Rio Zuiderduin He's just a terrible person in general, whatever the reason may be.

[@soldier1stclass640]

And then he injected himself with the alien cells,tried to stop the heroes from saving the world,downloaded his mind into the internet,and then tried to make the planet kill itself.this guy could easily get ever spot on this list

[@kiya46107]

Aperture Science... Seriously here's a quote from its CEO "Science isn't about WHY. It's about WHY NOT. Why is so much of our science dangerous? Why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you on the butt on the way out, because you are fired." Yep, Aperture in a nuthou- I mean nutshell

[@chiefmaggot360]

I think aputure science's work ethic quotes are brilliant!

[@kiya46107]

chiefmaggot360 Well, a little later in the game there's a since telling employees to tell their supervisors if they saw an OSHA(Occupational Safety and Health Administration) inspectors.

[@ApertureScienceInnovators]

Have you got a problem with progress?

[@kiya46107]

Well when 'progress' means ignoring ethical and legal guidlines... Yes, yes I do

[@admiralsap]

They created a supercomputer but forgot to prevent it from killing them all with neurotoxin

Mikes face matched perfectly with janes voice, very strange

[@StirrCrazy90]

What if we got a peak behind the curtain, and that's how Mike really sounds. And Mike and Jane are just dubbing over each other's dialogue to hide it.

[@veronica_hon]

speaking of fallout. anyone remember that dumbass who tried to make radioactive ants small again but instead made them breath fire

[@pepsia6508]

The fucker...

[@WhitcherJames]

that was a pain in the butt at the time, but it's hilarious looking back at it now.

[@Wildcard120]

funny in a terrifying way.

[@claytontheendergamer7665]

Wait WHAT? I need fallout.

[@MihzvolWuriar]

So, he should've tried to make then breath fire, and they'd become small again, right? *RIGHT?*

[@S0RGEx]

I feel like Dr. Lesko from Fallout 3 should've been here instead of the Vault-Tec scientists. While trying to make the giant mutant ants smaller, he completely skipped over the scientific method and instead of testing on a small group and having a control (You can actually tell him this if your science skill is high enough). And instead of making them smaller, they ended up the exact same size, except they could breathe fire. Which resulted in the entire population of Grayditch, excluding him and Bryan Wilks, getting killed by an army of fire-breathing giant ants. The entire purpose of the Vaults was to be a giant social experiment, they just so happened to also involve saving part of America's population from a massive nuclear war. Even though most of the vault experiments were total failures, that was the fault of the inhabitants of that particular vault or just bad luck, more often than not. Some were even designed to fail and were doomed from the start. So they didn't fuck up, they were just kinda fucked up.

[@MegasXLM]

The problem is, Lesko probably wasn't a very learned practitioner of science, since there aren't any universities or the like in the wasteland. The Vault-Tec scientists likely were (or at least should have been).

[@S0RGEx]

Eh, you don't necessarily need a degree to be considered a scientist. Besides, he seemed smart enough to know, relatively, what he was doing and most people would still consider him a scientist.

[@RandomWatts]

S0RGEx Lesko turning the ants into Fire Ants wasn't done on purpose. The scientists on the list were intentionally harming others. Lesko just screwed up.

[@S0RGEx]

ynyng83 Exactly. Though the title could refer to either on purpose or accidental screw ups, you could've argued that Lesko should've known better than to try and "fix" all of the ants immediately without even testing the experiment beforehand or considering the consequences. And nothing necessarily went wrong for the Vault experiments, at least nothing that wasn't supposed to, from the scientists' perspective. They planned for the majority of the vaults to eventually fail. There were no screw ups or anything on the part of Vault-Tec.

[@kevins9205]

By scientist, it seems they are talking about people who were very familiar will their field. Like the Half Life doctor, the man should have known better. Getting all your scientific knowledge in the wasteland makes me think he didn't qualify. The vault tech scientists knew what they were doing. They knew that most of the vault tests would end in death (Seriously have you read about the one with the panther). They fit the category perfect. They knew all the experiments would fail, so they were all obsolete.

[@SpearM3064]

In regards to William Birkin: I've come to the conclusion that on the Umbrella job applications, there must be a space for "known insanities", and you're required to have one to get a job in their research department. Think about it. Birkin is psychotic, his wife is neurotic, the less said about the Ashford twins the better, most of the scientists had to have been sociopathic at the very least to be willing to conduct viral experiments on non-consenting human test subjects... (or just too afraid of what Umbrella might do to them if they said "no").

[@mjfan8704]

You're forgetting about good ol' Albert Wesker who... well did a lot of horrible things in most of the games. Unless of course you did think of him and thought, 'Well everyone knows Wesker was an absolute psycho with a god complex.'

[@Swashification]

Every single scientist in Half-Life, they literally just happened to find a rock that was too powerful and broke their equipment, but they went along the test anyway and screwed humanity over.

[@sophiesteak]

Thank god, someone actually realized that Half-Life was the brainchild of stupid science.

[@Hellwreck210]

The worst part of it, they have roamed in Xen world many times before their final experiment on the rock you mentioned, this is proved if you play Half-Life: Opposing Force, you'll find a variety of test labs and rooms on Xen creatures, also even a massage from another sector telling other scientists to join the experiment which caused everything..

[@whatayaDO543]

Actually, *GMAN* give these guys the Crystal in which it exploded into Xen portals anyway... so yeaaah. That's something to think about It's not really their fault anyway, it's just apart of Gman's fatalist plans. The scientists are just tools. Would you blame the tools then their crazed faulty engineers. Would you also blame the gun instead of the maniac behind it? Fuck no, it's just damn stupid. it's also lame excuse to use against tools and guns when people need them. For fuck sake, next thing you know people already blamed Barney, Shepherd, and black ơps for the damn nuke that destroyed Black Mesa (which is also *bullshit*). And Gman was freaking behind *that* bombing too, you guys *really* need to beat the games Don't blame the Scientists, Police, Security, or military for anything. People are just trying trying to survive just because a DERANGE ominous force (*Gman*) want to fuck humanity over for no reason..

[@REDACTED0451]

whatayaDO543 Thanks for saying what I was going to say.

[@Hellwreck210]

Don't forget Vault 101: "Let's do absolutely nothing to the residents and just wait until they go crazy on their own"

[@jhondoe1483]

[@ollieswanny4605]

Shut up idiot

[@lilpimp994]

Ascetic Wanderer Lmao!

[@kabobawsome]

3 years late, but one thing sets apart Vault-Tec from the other ones is the scientific method. There were actual controlled variables! Sure, a lot of them seem like cruel jokes (or rehashes of older experiments, in Vault 11's case), but some of it was actual research. For example, FEV research, ghoulification research, supersolider research. Oh! And not all of it was unethical (even though in those cases it almost certainly had unforeseen consquences)!

[@LadyMeiun]

While I do agree, I must still say that Vault-Tec still wins the battle against Umbrella Corp. hands down. Sure, one created zombies and other mutated abominations, but the other literally experimented on people under the guise of helping them. One of the many examples is Vault 95. Full of drug addicts, they were sold on the idea of a place where they would be forced to get clean, but instead Vault-Tec had other ideas and, after people had genuinely made real progress and almost completely kicked their habits, reintroduced a huge stash of chems and booze. And that still has nothing on Vault 75. It would take way too long to go on about that one so probably best to google it if you don't know about it.

[@davep8221]

@@kabobawsome One more year late, but speaking of supersoldiers, the Vault-Tec guy looks a little bit like Cap.

[@connorcalder8191]

Professor Hojo from Final Fantasy VII he used his own son in goddamn genetic experiments using cells he got from an alien they found in a crater, He shot Vincent Valentine, Experimented on him and then sealed him still alive in a coffin in the basement of Shinra Mansion, he summoned a giant destructive monster (Omega) just to see the effect of it's awakening, he killed a former colleague and took his newly born child and wife and then imprisoned and experimented on them for seven year, he planned to breed a woman (Aeris) with a wolf-like creature (Red XIII) in order to create a subject who would be able to survive the large amount of experiments who would perform, he then injects himself with Jenova cells and transform into a giant grotesque monster as he tries to kill everyone. Surely he must belong on this list

My voucher here is for the UAC scientists from Doom 3. Seriously, they MESSED WITH OBJECTS LINKED TO HELL. Is it any surprise that demons started appearing, everyone turned into zombies and random people's heads shot off and turned into flaming, screeching nightmares?

[@KatherineClairmont]

Maverickslayer744 hell yes it is, the experiment was run by scientists. As in people who don't believe in hell. Because logic dictates that hell doesn't real.

[@Maverickslayer744]

Katherine Clairmont Most of the scientists started hearing voices and experiencing paranormal stuff time before the setting of the game. Not sure of the legal issues there, but I'm preeeetty sure that even to a scientist, that's an indicator to stop what you're doing.

[@KatherineClairmont]

obviously you've never done research on psychedelic drugs

[@Maverickslayer744]

Have you seen the DOOM timeline? I would actually give you the benefit of the doubt if it wasn't for the fact that they've done this numerous times before the latest outbreak. There's even more evidence if you take into account Wolfenstein (which is considered in the same universe). So by the point of their latest experimentation, they should have known that messing with demonic artifacts would have led to hell's minions trying to take over their facility, ESPECIALLY since it was the same company who made the exact same mistake not even a year after the first (DOOM 3 took place before the first two from Nov. 2146 to March 2147 when including the expansion pack and DOOM 1 and 2 take place in 2148, being followed up by Final DOOM and DOOM 64).

[@immortalfrieza]

Maverickslayer744 It depends on what version we're talking about. In both they are simply trying to develop teleportation technology, but only in 3 do they have reason to think demons are involved. In DOOM 1 people just start mysteriously vanishing after going through the teleport or coming back crazy before demons just start coming out of the gateways out of the blue. With DOOM 3 however they are able to see monstrous creatures during teleport and start exploring long before things go to shit, so they had a little warning there.

[@lsong1782]

[@roarshach13]

How about Doctor Lesko from Fallout 3? He somehow makes giant ants that BREATHE fire while trying to make them smaller. This causes them to easily destroy the town of Grayditch where he had been experimenting, orphaning a little boy in the process. He's also a legendary dickhole since he absolutely refuses to take responsibility for his actions, saying that collateral damage happens in science all the time. Yeah. Cuz scientists always make things worse when trying to make them better right?

[@michaelmorton5698]

To clarify, the fire ants overrun Grayditch to the point where everybody else leaves except for Doc Lesko and the kid whose father was killed in their home. That isn't diminishing Lesko's role in this debacle; he took a mutated insect species in an attempt to shrink them and instead gave them the ability to project fire.

+Zorro9129 Man, I wish SS13 was more accessible to newbies, and the community a bit nicer...

[@Zorro9129]

Furymgs3 As an event manager on Prospector station, I can't agree more. It certainly depends on the server, however. Often there will be admins who notice new players and help guide them. However, there are also trolls and griefers who take advantage of admins if one is not careful.

[@Furymgs3]

Zorro9129 Well, my very first game was actually really fun. Found a pretty nice guy that taught me his job. I became his assistant, and even though I was pretty useless, I had a blast. My SECOND game, though... I was pretty much ignored for the entire thing, and I'm pretty sure I got killed because someone got tired of me asking if I could help with... hell, anything, at that point. This, and the complete lack of tutorial, put me off the game. It's too bad, because this game looked really awesome.

[@Zorro9129]

Furymgs3 Well, higher role-play servers (such as Prospector) keep random killing to a minimum while featuring fun events. Also, if you are bored, the Colonial Marines server is based off the movie "Aliens" and has clearly defined roles. The lack of tutorial is unfortunate, but it is one of those games where player experience reigns king. It is fun to learn new things in SS13 because it is like discovering something new IRL.

[@DansonYTube]

Have to say though, the vaults did save people. After all, enough people survived to create a mini America and a mini Rome and have them face off over Las Vegas. That at least worked somewhat.

[@ChefKayla]

um, do the scientists that ran Aperture Science/GLaDOS from the Portal Series count?

[@Fulllife3.2]

Well they didn't know something like that would happen.But it still is idiotic to give full control of a test lab into an ai.

[@ojb9581]

Videos like this is why I'm subscribed to outside xbox. Also the show of the week. The gameplay though? Not so sure. Honestly the gameplay you used to upload with challenges and set activities, like the christmas challenge series, by far exceeds the quality that is seen in outside xbox's 3 minute intro/gameplay of small indie games. Just a small suggestion.

[@GwresYnKernow]

Just had to comment that Mike's lipsyncing was absolutely on point in the Vault-Tec segment. Bravo.

[@judgejudys3xdungeon94]

What about all the Weyland Yutani scientists from the Aliens franchise? They got everyone in a cosmic colony millions of miles from earth fucked (literally, there's a type of alien that IMPREGNATES YOU) because they woke up thousands of Xenomorphs in some random spaceship.

[@kevgmei]

I want Fallout 4 to feature surviving Vault-Tec members, and a quest in which you go on a rampage killing all of them.

[@TheShadowCallers]

lol that would be horrid but satisfying

[@kevgmei]

SnowWolf5552 Yes, it would be like destroying the Dark Brotherhood in Skyrim, but better!

[@barry6541]

Kevin Meisenbacher Destroying the dark brotherhood is not fun, its actually more fun to join it and kill a bunch of people!

[@kevgmei]

Alexander Lipscomb Everyone's different. I prefer mowing down the assassins. For one reason, you get to creatively kill several sadists in quick succession and loot the crap out of the place afterwards; and for another, some of the assassination targets are innocent, and I never liked killing Narfi. The only characters I murder are douchebags like Slitter and Mogrul, Maven, Hemming, Braith, etc. I don't kill Nazeem because he's not exactly evil, and I've come to actually like Heimskr.

[@kevgmei]

Alexander Lipscomb And also, you kill a bunch of people in most quests anyways, and are bound to kill a few brigands whenever you travel around Skyrim. And if you have Dawnguard installed, you kill undead people whenever you're in a city at night.

[@FricknA]

Well, first of all Sherry Birkin wasn't an infant. She was 12 years old around the time of the Raccoon City outbreak.

[@skullcrushers1000]

Half-Life 1? The scientist didn't care about the "small" problem in his calculations.

[@capthavic]

lol yeah that always made me laugh because "close enough" is not what a scientist says when performing dangerous experiments.

[@skullcrushers1000]

They also took the resources for their experiment from a mysterious benefactor they had no background on whatsoever, and still ran the experiment even when he told them to prepare for 'unforseen concequences.'

Just noticed another Bioshock Infinite teaser/Easter egg, 2:50, on the imprinting failed chalkboard... Possible Songbird designs?

[@fivestarguy100]

justin s those are songbird designs because that clip was taken from bioshock infinite burial at sea which is a DLC prequel/sequel to bioshock infinite

[@rusty7366]

fivestarguy100 yeah, I figured that out :D I ended up playing burial at sea and found it :)

[@fede6811]

OBJECTION! The Vault-tec vaults were not meant to keep anyone alive

[@Xylarxcode]

Well, some of them were. Vault 8, for example, wasn't meant to backfire. They emerged and used their GECK to create Vault City. There's a few more who weren't supposed to fail. They are in the vast minority, but there are a small handful of vaults that were meant to work properly.

[@fede6811]

Yes and the one The Followers came from was also designed to work, but as you said, the vast minority were meant to keep their inmates alive, like the one made for the world leaders, still, locking up 13 people and a pantha? Give me a freaking break! XD

[@Scorchcast]

Am I the only one that watches videos like these to see cool games I might have missed to go back and play them?

[@noruichanaralfirin4632]

the scientists from Portal 1 & 2, for creating GLaDOS, who in turn killed them. at least an honorary mention

[@greedow]

they succeded in doing exactly what they wanted. put a human mind in a disk to bad the mind was an asshole

[@phantomnite]

Nice throne you got there Andy, and thanks for informing me of the time, 1:50pm

[@SamuelCish]

I feel like Halo's Dr. Halsey should have known better too.

[@ryansnooks470]

Yes, I agree.

[@usnerfout]

Halsey created highly effective super soldiers and shield technology superior to that of their enemies

[@bradenglenar7006]

usnerfout she's pretty much the only damn reason why Mans Colonies still stand Resolute. John would have been a helpless farm boy without any mental physical or sociological training that adapted them to the conditions they underwent. hundreds of them died, but thousands if not hundreds of thousands of the Covenant was felled by their hand. Every Last Human on these Colonies would have met the same fate that i believe to some degree would have been much like a Medieval Invasion nearly as similar to The Vikings, though Covenant were hellbent on Extermination on the Human race at the whims of their Religious Benefactors, who had since represented their orders after the fall of the Forerunners. only to resurface just recently

[@SamuelCish]

yea but she did that to 6 year olds

[@SamuelCish]

spartan IIIs and IVs were volunteers and enlisted individuals. They were just as good as Spartan IIs

[@alextonge6972]

Ox!, how can you forget about true evil scientist from crash bandicoot !! What a classic game , Oh I'm only talking about Dr Neo Cortex

[@heatherkabi]

Doctor Ludwig maxis from cod zombies. come on, not mass producing a potentially war ending weapon and having your lab assistant attempt to kill you for it... He should have known better!

[@StockTo32]

I have to disagree with Suchong being on this list, he was working for Frank Fontaine at the time plasmids were developed. Frank was originally a con-man from New York and his name isn't even real, he had Suchong develop the Plasmids so Frank could make a profit. The reason little sisters and big daddies exist is because that Adam was becoming more difficult to find, they needed a supply of Adam to use. Under some experiments, they found that little girls' bodies accepted Adam bonding more than any of the other's; thus, the little sisters are Adam factories. Its' inhumane but actually pretty smart, more to the point, Frank Fontaine was the one who dictated what Suchong would do so it kinda isn't Suchong's fault for doing his job.

[@cotyjames9709]

What about Mordin Solus and the Genophage?

[@SionAllona]

Wow, I hadn't thought of that, but you're pretty right.

[@chuksieabani1856]

He knew what he was doing though, there wasn't much saying he should have known better, because he knew what the outcome his actions would be and even redeemed himself.

[@REDACTED0451]

The Genophage was necessary to stabilize the Krogan population, and in the end, he will usually end the Genophage. (Spoilers)

[@germanvisitor2]

Is the video of Dr. Suchong's death from Burial At Sea? I just finished playing Bioshock and Bioshock 2 and found only an audio record of it. (In his defense: Ten seconds earlier he was ranting about being unable to imprint the Big Daddies on Little Sisters. Although... hitting a Little Sister is naturally an offense punishable by drill after all.)

[@azykool2971]

"Darwin said survival of the fittest". No he didn't... Herbert Spencer did.

[@KawL1ga]

Master Evar The walls are made out of asbestos, it keeps the rats mice out.

[@immortalfrieza]

RaT TraP I'm not sure he qualifies. I mean, Cave Johnson's inventions are actually pretty brilliant, he just has a complete lack of common sense so he does a terrible job of testing and making use of those inventions correctly. Cave Johnson is a great scientist and a complete terrible one at the same time.

[@paulmorris5119]

Did anyone else notice the drawing on the chalkboard in the bioshock bit looked very similar to a geth

[@shahjacobsen9183]

if only this video had come out more recently... cause the UAC from DOOM 2016 would be on it...

[@realsentientpotato]

Or just the uac in general since doom has been around since the 90s and the uac has screwed the pooch since doom started

[@dtribu]

the uac was like "lets make a portal into hell cuz absolutely nothing will go wrong! then doomguy literally destroys hells forces on phobos, dies and goes to hell, then breaks out and goes to earth then helps humanity escape by securing the spaceport, goes back to hell, kills the hell portal generator, and goes home

[@MrSwarbs1982]

Malcolm Bertruger from Doom 3 is the ideal candidate. "I've developed teleportation!" "But Dr Bertruger, all people you teleport pass through Hell and gradually go insane or are killed by demons" "Hell, eh? I bet if I helped them kill everyone and try to invade Earth they'd transplant my head into a giant demon bat" Makes Umbrella Corporation look like an advert for safe science...

[@dtribu]

MrSwarbs1982 honestly if the first 2 had more direct storyline we would have seen more like him, possibly worse.

[@Triceratronz]

Otacon from Metal Gear Solid. He works for a weapons development company and helps build a giant robot but is surprised to hear that its being used for war.

Except Mister Handy was Rob Co. product.

[@Dark_Tale_2077]

Also would mind a Pip-Buck. Those would defiantly come in handy in real life. I mean, sure we have cell phones but those things still can't tell us about our health and what all we have in our pockets as soon as we receive new stuff. Edit: Sorry Pip-Boy... Been reading a lot of Fallout: Equestria lately.

[@ChronoCam73]

Really loved the lip sync part at 7:20 lol

[@ZombieFighter95]

What about every single Black Mesa scientist in general?

[@nettogames4268]

To be fair to vault-tec, they did the experiments to simulate different disasterous events in space travel. This is further confirmed by the NukaWorld DLC where the Galactic Zone features a vault-tec demonstration of their space plans. They intend to build actually functional vaults on planets to colonise them.

[@Nyerguds]

[@positivitybot03]

This video somehow caused a dream with Mike featuring as a lab technician, who was extremely organised and had everything clean and orderly, but every chair and surface was 4ft higher than it needed to be, so if you were walking around, you felt like you were in a massive white lab instead of a normal one. Lots of brushed chrome surfaces.

[@peterdietrich8810]

You chose kleiner over the scientists who started the resonance cascade?

[@RobertRottenThe2nd]

Pete Detrick Kleiner was in that control room

[@peterdietrich8810]

Agent North Dakota Really? I didn't know they weren't just random scientists.

[@RobertRottenThe2nd]

Pete Detrick well, not at the time of the event, but he, Eli, and Magnusson were the head scientists of the project who all, miraculously, weren't in the control room when it blew up. Magnusson was in the break room, and Kleiner and Eli were outside the control room fixing some wiring.

[@KatherineClairmont]

Agent North Dakota they re-used the model. Many of the scientists looked identical to Kleiner.

[@RobertRottenThe2nd]

Katherine Clairmont yes, but in the canon, that scientist is Kleiner

I think she asked some of the kids to come with her, and if they said no, she'd clone them, then take the clone.

[@krd24551]

But she knew what she was doing. So she doesn't apply here. These are scientists who got in way over their heads without thinking about the repercussions.

Dr Thomas Light from Mega Man. He created protoman, who developed feelings of hatred towards humanity, and then the six robot masters.

As old as this is, I'd still like to throw Doom's UAC in the ring. Ever since classic Doom, they've been all, "Hey this energy vortex is connected to what is basically hell... but we can harvest the excess energy if we rip it open!" Followed, "Oh, demons are pouring out of the interdimensional rift... quick capture them!" And then, "Well, we have duct tape, rocket launchers, and captured demons... how can we combine these things...?"
