A Dump in the Dark - The Dark Side of Steam (Audio Fix)

I don't know why, but something about your voice pleases my ears. Even when you scream and yell in anger and/or frustration.

[@crabscrustacean1087]

ASMR !

[@Kupomasters57]

Brandon Roberts AND A DAAAAAAMN GOOD ONE!

[@Kilo-fr4sh]

Convinietly I was taking a dump when I watched this video

[@joshuarooney9725]

Was it in the dark?

[@Kilo-fr4sh]

@@joshuarooney9725 no, it was during the day but it was close enough lol

[@crabscrustacean1087]

The funny part is that this game has more positive reviews than negative on steam store. And the minimum RAM requirement is 8GB. Wtf

[@SilasGrieves]

Crab The Dev Dude, really? I'm a console peasant but that sounds a bit crazy even for this spaz of a game.

[@Darklordjadow1]

People think it's endlessly hilarious to post sarcastic positive reviews on games. It's very annoying. You should read the reviews for Bad Rats sometime; it's an endless litany of useless.

[@noir3231]

Im sure you know but there is a new game out called dusk. Reminds me alot of doom and quake. I know how much you like old school shooter might be up your alley.

[@Python-el5hs]

Glad the videos back man. Had me worried there for a minute as I thought KZbin removed the vid lol.

[@Darklordjadow1]

Python4161 I didn't watch the final cut of the video before uploading it. I watched it for curiosity and found two flubs that were driving me crazy. I really wish KZbin let you edit a video without taking it down and reuploading it

[@Python-el5hs]

Same man, had some problems myself. I only watched about a quarter of the video before I went off to do something. When I came back the video was gone.

[@damianlegion8455]

0:07 I just realize that you do a different opening for each... Dark Side of Steam! ...Which is so awesome... 😌

[@MrNoahlindsay]

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS DLJ :D:D

[@M4A42k18]

You would make for a good Sheev Palpatine in a Star Wars movie

[@legionbeast]

I think it's some sort of irony that your brief "sexualized ponies" breakaway featured art direction and cohesiveness in design that far outweigh anything that was showcased in this "thing" that dares be called a game.

[@FierySprites]

I think there's a trope that accurately describes this, something about making something purely to gross people out. I can see the guy did that and neglected to put any effort into anything else.

[@Darklordjadow1]

FieryExplosion I think you're right. The initial game was nothing but sad attempts to gross people out- especially considering he turned to dead babies twice. He's figured out that's not good enough to pass muster on Steam and now he's trying to make a real game, but can't.

[@andhieyusuf7008]

FieryExplosion Gross-Out Show. Popularized by Ren & Stimpy Show. Many clones attempt to replicate the show's use of disgusting imagery without effort on other sector, like writing

[@Jaydenbraddock42]

I guess it's fair to say this game is literally.....shit!

[@gamegaminggamertv765]

Notice me pls. I love this channel and I think it's one of if not the best game review channels ever.

[@Darklordjadow1]

GameGamingGamer TV Hai. And thanks; I am most honored!

[@coachrenaldo]

This game is like one of those animated shows that try way too hard to be like South Park: disgusting, uninteresting, horrifically boring, and apparently exists to shock people rather than entertaining them, but failing to do so. Seriously, why do these types of games keep showing up!?

[@MrBrandonStar]

Coach Renaldo this game is incoherent

[@DarkMetalMusic]

Because Steam users openly upvote and positively rate silly and stupid things. Making a game like this basically guarantees that morons will be positively rating the game because "LOL POOP"

[@ALIEN-DUDE]

I swear the game developers were on a really bad acid trip when they made this game.

[@EarthboundX]

I do wonder if some/all these glitches have to do with the low power laptop you use? Pretty sure you mentioned that's what you are using before. The screenshots and video are much brighter and clearer on the Steam page.

[@Darklordjadow1]

For one thing: Jim Sterling played an earlier build of the game and immediately ran into the same glitch that I did; an enemy killed him and he just died infinitely for several minutes. If a PC Gaming journalist ran into the same glitch on his computer, I'm guessing it's a consistent issue. Not to mention I did get that feeding the baby level to end correctly playing it a second time and playing it somewhat differently. Plus; do you really think that THIS game of all games has production values so high it induces glitches in a game on its lowest graphics setting? As for the trailer: there's an endless number of ways trailers can be doctored and nobody in the games industry is above doing it. I remember WB posted a sped up video of Batman Arkham Knight to try and bullshit gamers into thinking "no; the PC version totally runs at 60 fps! Honest!" Unfortunately trailers don't mean dick these days.

[@EarthboundX]

Yeah, it'd be a terrible game either way, I just know from experience how different games can seem depending on what settings they are played at.

[@Darklordjadow1]

EarthboundX It's a valid point but with so many different PC's playing these games I think that it is fair to criticise a game for lack of optimization.

[@catboygremlin]

2020 update: apparently this game made it out of early access and has somehow managed mixed reviews (and not all of the positive reviews are incomprehensible joke-reviews)

[@radagastaddams3703]

what's the game in the intro (looks like minecraft & when you shot something it goes apeshit) ???

[@Darklordjadow1]

Steve Addams At the time it was called Pixel Survival Craft Game; it's now called Pixel Z: Gun Day or something like that. I talked about it in the video "Uncrowded - The Dark Side of Steam" on my channel.

[@radagastaddams3703]

thank you. title sounds like they tried to hit every popular tag they could think of. block, rogue, gun, war, space, monkey duty, game. it's funny how many tags they use in the vain hope a steam user will unwittingly stumble across their game.

[@NickWride]

These days, Steam gives me the shits!

[@AmishParadise27]

I don't know what's uglier. The baby in this game, or the baby in Foodfight.

[@shcdemolisher]

This game disturbs me similarly to Binding of Issac. It's full of stuff that doesn't seem fun or interesting and instead turns me away.

[@ShaunTheCHB]

I lost my appetite while watching this............Good god almighty.

[@Darklordjadow1]

ShaunTheCHB A logical reaction to this video. In other matters: I am so sorry I've failed to chat with you for so long. How's the baby and Helen?

[@ShaunTheCHB]

Nah man, don't apologize. It's all good. Iv'e been pretty darn busy myself. Now that I'm a dad, I gotta keep on my toes y'know? Both mother and daughter are doing great. There's been ups and down, but overall things are going good. :) How are things with you and your lovely lady?

[@bokiller33]

acid trip

[@MrBrandonStar]

This game is incoherent

[@MrBrandonStar]

Brandon Roberts agreed

[@Takimeko]

True facts

[@COrraThereal0ne]

Why was the audio cut out the first time around

[@Darklordjadow1]

Chan Riggins The first upload I left a gap between two paragraphs when I intended the speech to flow better and I didn't fully edit out a flub in my speech. Was driviving me crazy.

[@COrraThereal0ne]

Darklordjadow1 ooh, thanks for responding

[@jamesevans1897]

I'm sensing a lot of personal regret with this support of this game. Err wait... Gribble? Like Dale Gribble? No wonder why this game sounds like fucked up conspiracy.

[@Darklordjadow1]

I have no idea who Dale Gribble is. But yes; that's what these creatures who have nothing to do with the story yet get brought up every few seconds are called.

[@Tim5corpion]

Darklordjadow1 he's a character from King of the Hill.

[@Darklordjadow1]

And that totally makes sense now. The dev has all of the human characters (the ones who speak anyway) talk in a thick hick accent. He thinks he's using the same kind of setting as King of the Hill when he doesn't do anything else to build a setting.

[@kingpablothe1stoverlordoft871]

"A dump in the dark"... That sounds like someone taking a crap with the lights off! Lol

[@mlpfanboy1701]

What if this game playing like shit was intentional.

[@darkron288]

Well as i said before, its sad to know a FNAF fan game creator can create a similar levels and do it better (IE baby in a crib attacked by monsters), while costing absolutely NOTHING

[@Darklordjadow1]

Darkron2 And it remains a very good point. A free fan-made game just made for fun is orders of magnitude better than so many paid games on Steam. I wonder if the dev was actively trying to copy Joy of Creation or if it's just a coincidence.

[@leemcdonald1342]

Appropriate title, for all the wrong reasons...

[@CCCSaxsonWarmonger]

you know the game was early access when you were playing right? im pretty sure theyve fixed most of the issues.

[@bighungry98]

Hey DLJ, could you review the Shrek games? Those are even shittier than this game.

[@Darklordjadow1]

I have a Shrek game on the Gamecube called Shrek: Extra Large. Was pissed when I found out the XBox version of the game had actual cutscenes in it.

[@bighungry98]

If you had a couple more Shrek games, you'd have a really good video.

[@shnick1990]

Darklordjadow1 Actually, the Xbox version has no cutscenes aside from the intro. And after suffering through both versions, I can verify the Xbox version is worse because of more frustrating level designs.

[@fluteninja4751]

EH... AH... WHA... UGH... WHO THE FUCK GREEN-LIGHTED THIS???

[@KnightedSilverWolf]

Eww no I rather take a anthro pony over just a butt

[@taiya001]

0~0 WTF? What ........what?

[@derajajattnaw4677]

What is up with the positive steam reviews? They look like they were paid off or something haha.

[@gaminggoliath6881]

a lot of devs will do that to make a fast buck

[@stagpie6449]

Norovirus is more appealing than this game

[@Aardie_Aardwolf]

Don't judge peoples fetishes.

[@Safersephiroth777]

So it is a shitty game right?

[@MrBrandonStar]

Safersephiroth777 yup
