Best Friends Play Psi-Ops The Mindgate Conspiracy

Title Art by Plague of Gripes: / plagueofgripes
Matt uses the power of his veiny, throbbing brain to kill some dudes!

[@maddude7161]

So in Psi-Ops, you have telekinesis, psychokinesis, astro projection, body possession, and an ability called Mind Drain, which as we saw, can make people's heads explode. Oh and you can combine all these powers. Basically you're like 10 Starkillers and 30 Jodies.

[@Dasgath]

But stay away from those crazy electric chairs man

[@Vokoca]

There even is pyromancy later on. :)

[@Norasuko]

30 Jodies. More than enough to kill anything that moves.

[@guidetoanything]

Nora Suko Or as Matt says, more than enough to kill anything that's already dead.

[@gf41993]

And at even later you can see invisible enemies. :)

[@SteelBallRun1890]

Ok, now I want a Full LP of this only to see more bad puns from Fat Black Dynamite over there.

[@TheDarrowmere]

I would totally watch it just for Fat Black Dynamite

[@MegaTyler93]

You guys should totally do a full playthrough of this.

[@fapnoob]

they never do :(

[@Zero3144]

Holy Jesus on a candy stick, guys. Do a full LP, this game deserves it to no end, like - really.

[@garrisonronin1905]

Helghast, Ozzy Osbourne, Big Daddy V, they're cramming them all in there.

[@inuyashaspet]

Dare I say, your best video in a while? Not only is the game really fun to watch, but your editing just made the entire thing flow really smoothly. Great job, guys.

[@ArcaneOmen2041]

Man you guys seriously need to do a full LP of this game. The plot gets hilarious, the powers get awesome, and it allows for multiple playstyle approaches to situations and puzzles. Plus plenty of cheat codes to unlock alternate skin such as EACH OF THE BOSSES AND EVEN MUTHAFUCKIN' SCORPION FROM MORTAL KOMBAT.

[@SownSky]

Reads description: "Matt uses the power of his veiny, throbbing brain to kill some dudes!" Me: Wait a minute. If Matt has such a power, why has he not used it to bone the stone?

[@ShiniGamiGirly]

Bryan Peterson He hides his brain surprisingly well. He likes a challenge

[@TheWhitestZangetsuYouKnow]

Bryan Peterson When God was giving out brains, Matt immediately threw his into a ravine.

[@buffypython]

Well, I guess men do often think with their di-... Oh, they meant his brain....

[@Ketsuekisan]

He's too busy using it to make videos.

[@PoisoNico93]

Justin Schultz wow that one was amazing XD

[@dillanreed2389]

What a nice surprise to see you playing this. An incredible gem of a game that flew disgracefully far under the radar.

[@Greatdictator]

Please please PLEASE do a LP of this , for one thing its a great game , and second , you guys seem to have enjoyed it a lot so for fucks sake please do a playthrough of it

[@Tanerion]

Like this man's comment for god's sakes.

[@THEgreatCORNHOLIO245]

I mean... there's absolutely no way Plague made that bad-ass title art (that probably took him weeks) for just a one-off. That's just an injustice.

[@spellgalen808]

got to say, this is an underrated game. it's not flawless, but it is really good for it's time! really a shame that there ain't gonna be a squeal :/

[@Tanerion]

Huhuh... "squeal" :)

[@spellgalen808]

my spelling ain't the greatest :)

[@BESM1984]

Had this back in the day. A lot of crazy fun to be had. Wished it got a sequel

[@PostMesmeric]

This is probably one of the last games I expected Matt and Woolie to play, but they did, and I'm happy.

[@randomfox12245]

Wow, this game is such a video game. I can't believe how video games this is.

[@BigBangBlitz]

Like I said back on the Predator video, this is the best thing Midway developed.

[@bobdudder4841]

pac man and mortal kombat don't count?

[@BlitzFatty]

I mean...Gauntlet?

[@BigBangBlitz]

No. Also Pac-Man is Namco and Gauntlet is Atari.

[@bobdudder4841]

BigBangBlitz they were involved in a few of pac mans american releases

[@BlitzFatty]

And the home versions of Gauntlet Legends, Gauntlet Dark Legacy, as well as making Gauntlet Seven Sorrows.

[@Priceman5]

"The Force Unleashed, before The Force Unleashed" That is exactly how I describe this game to people that haven't played it.

[@briangoubeaux5360]

That big black dude from the intro would fit well in the Saints Row game universe.

[@RaineV1]

I had this game. It was pretty fun. I loved to make stuff float while I was standing on it. I would love a full lp of this.

[@kato093]

Fuck yeah!! I still remember to this day the HOURS (yes... HOURS) i spent in the playroom killing hordes of respawning enemies with the both the attached and not attached giant balls and doing other cool ass combo shit with telekinesis, pyrokinesis , shooting etc... This game was PLAIN FUN AND AMAZING EPIC TIME. Second sight might be a better overall game but it was more about story and stealth. Psi ops was about cool ass shit, epic shit, shooting and mayhem. You bet your ass My 12 year old self enjoyed psi ops a lot more. Also there was an amazing music video with cg from the game, it was AWESOME. Kinda like the mortal kombat deadly alliance one. Hell mk da, psi ops, time splitters 3, zone of the enders, mgs2, kingdom hearts, tekken tag , devil may cry were my life and soul when i was 10yo.i wish i still enjoyed games as back then.. Now if it aint a dark souls1/bloodborne, nier automata, the last of us i aint feeling 100% the games i play.Ff15 nioh and nier are the last games i enjoyd

[@trustyEXE]

"Without an arm I spit!" Yes! Woolie you are the man for bringing that back!

[@matthewdavon7081]

Even thou this was one of my favorite games in my mid-childhood, looking back now I realize that this is the first game that i played that had great replay value. It was just too much fun back then.

[@anyonesmellthat]

This is like watching the TBFP that never was. Imagine if Woolie had shown up for Kirby's Epic Yarn.

[@johneverett4133]

Man I really enjoyed this one. I have been watching you guys sense the start of Fighterpedia, every day I come home from work, sit back, and watch some best friends play, and no matter how my day went you guys always manage to make me laugh. Thank you for all of your hard work and all of the laughs, you guys are the best ( :

[@RAND0Mmoo]

This game looks better than most today.

[@boiledcrap]

Is that Uncle Phill as the dude in the purple suit? ....Dudes, do a LP! The Fresh Prince jokes!!!

[@casono]

Isn't he dead though?

[@ShadowFox64]

Cason Celious Oh.... please stop reminding me. I miss his hour long lectures on the merits of pillowly mounds of mashed potatoes.

[@dragonballmarcus]

This game really makes me want to see the best friends play Alpha Protocol.

[@DrakeVagabond]

Nick confirmed for MK10

[@TheGrowthCycle]

I bet the developers programmed the turret so that it would exclusively aim at your butt.

[@FanimusMaximus]

It's like Beyond Two Souls only with a script!

[@jorgamund07]

There's something this game did 100% right, as illustrated by a simple example. Think about how Other M "unlocked" character powers. Now compare that to how this game integrated the unlocks within the storyline, even to the point of having a minor character involved. If TBF and David Cage have taught us nothing else, it is that *writing matters*.

[@NevikG]

Still hoping that this would become a full LP

[@jackscroller595]

+Kevin Wong don't they play this game enough there on cybertron ??? fuck

[@Justiceisone]

Loved this game as a kid! Floating around on boxes, playing in the training room for hours....good times.

[@spoonfyter]

I was so hoping they would play long enough to get to the part where he gets the afro. Fuck yes.

[@SteelBallRun1890]

Gee I wonder what existing Best Friends LP we'll see toda-WHAAAAAAAAT!!!!!

[@ColeVecsion]

This clearly needs a remake or an HD re-release with modern control schemes, best friend zaibatsu! give us an address to pester the developer/publishers! it apparanty worked on the mortal kombat shaolin monks HD!

[@SadisticCanada]

I wanna see a Super Best Friends Play Crash Bash. My god, just thinking about the amount of salt Pat will accumulate boggles my mind. That game's so cut throat.

[@s6xafterse7en]

Playing this CoOp was awesome! One person controls the character and shooting, the other controls the telekinesis/psionic stuff.

[@Helbracht]

Magnificent title screen Plague.

[@KRIMZONMEKANISM]

Please dudes! do a full playthrough of this game! xD

[@TapirMask]

Oh my god. Even the logo is like the Helghast. Like seriously, they're exactly the same.

[@HangingBunny]

Yeah, considering this was released in June 2004, Kilzone in Nov 2004 and HL2 also Nov 2004, there was a lot of Nazi Storm-trooper designs going around that year.

[@79Mully]

Man I loved this game back in the day, best of it's kind at the time.

[@DrakeVagabond]

can't what for the Kenshi DLC.

[@evanestrict5705]

I can't wait for that Psycho Mantis DLC.

[@Hoarseplay]

Well, there's a Scorpion skin at least. But yeah, it really should've been Kenshi.

[@Trent8086]

Isn't the really sad thing that there are next gen games that looks about this good?

[@ArcaneOmen2041]

And have WORSE physics. This game is amazing.

[@lankyGigantic]

You know what would be bitching? If you guys did an Okami playthrough.

[@Norasuko]

For. Ever.

[@Wingless-]

Nora Suko That's about how long it would take.

[@Begaria]

The Hypoist Spray in Psi-Ops.

[@raddude876]

Where has this been all my life

[@KickThuBucket]

+Vánagandr this was my childhood, it was fun

[@ReverseBearTrapEscape]

I LOVED this game as a kid! So glad you guys played it!

[@finalcloud69]

They need to remake this...it would be amazing...and obliterate any notion of Beyond Two Souls existence forever.

[@JoeAconite]

They kidnapped an older Wrestler, making the world think he is dead. He escapes, discovering his amazing mind powers. Years in experimented captivity have atrophied his once amazing muscles, but his supercharged mind is still that of a champion... "OH, YEAH!" PSI-MACHOps

[@briancahill9594]

Just wait till he evolves into PSI-MACHOke! To get him to evolve to PSI-MACHamp, you need to take your save card and insert it into someone else's console!

[@Arbal3st]

this game was far ahead of it's time

[@HanMasho]

Matt was talking about Albuquerque sports teams. You'll love this, the AAA baseball team in Albuquerque is called the Isotopes. You know, the baseball team in the Simpsons that was moved from Springfield to Albuquerque in that one episode. It's so fucking awesome that a joke from the Simpsons could become an actual professional sports team. The Isotopes players are one step away from playing for the LA Dodgers.

[@Gojiro7]

Psi-Ops VS Second Sight: Psi-ops is rough around the edges in the control department and is very generic in almost all aspects but it handles free floating physics better then any game even to day and is just a lot of fuck about fun plus one of the most unique co-ops ever (for better or for worst). Second Sight is a lot slower and more stealth focused but its done by Free Radical so the presentation is very charismatic with lots of little details and the story actually has a good twist or two, too bad there's not control inversion options so your pretty screwed if you cant properly play without that.

[@sirbig8292]

I loved both games. I'd say Second Sight had the better ending... because it actually had one

[@AussieDragoon]

Press X to dance like Pat

[@AncelDeLambert]

Ozzy rules the world? And the Kingpin has sick telekinesis? This game is awesome!

[@michaellacy5923]

I find it really refreshing when they discover a good game.

[@DrakeVagabond]

This game controls way better on PS2. no joke

[@beanie7965]

HAS IT GOT TANK CONTROLS?

[@DrakeVagabond]

Pat get outta here

[@OMGWTFROFLCOPTERBBQ]

God, why would you NOT do a full play of this, Best Friends? The shit only gets crazier as you play through the game, it'd be hype as fuck.

[@JKruschack]

Oh my god, EVIL JAMES AVERY. Did anybody else see fucking EVIL JAMES AVERY?! What the Hell, Psi-Ops?

[@MR1mbuster]

Woolie's still stealing pies, with telekinesis now?

[@Roadkill842]

You're actually supposed to destroy the turret with a metal box. Seriously though, this game is awesome and a let's play would be cool. Mind Control and Pyrokinesis, man.

[@cliffg.4205]

The head pop at the end of mind drain is so satisfying.

[@nicolasradrigan21]

I loved all these old sixth generation console games that made full use of ragdoll physics and dynamic shadows back when it was a rare thing; Psi-ops, Area 51, Destroy All Humans, all of them incredibly fun games, and also highly underrated ones. I wish they'd make a full playthrough of this.

[@homersimpson90210]

You guys should really play destroy all humans for more telekinetic fun and bizarre story.

[@shagohad3]

Hey Pox you ain't got no bdy cause no body loves you!

[@imkaminski31]

I read "Casino Royale" long before the (most recent) movie came out. For the longest time I really couldn't figure out what was happening during the torture scene with the char. When I saw the movie my only reaction was HOLY SHIT! THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED?!?!?

[@BellusDeparture]

Oh man I can't believe its actually here. I have waited for this day for so long. Now we need a full playthrough so I can die happy.

[@lifeiscrap103]

That Afro made the entire video.

[@Nymphonomicon]

Psi-ops suddenly turned into Sealab 2021.

[@ArcaneOmen2041]

***** Actually every flashback he has a different hairstyle. I think it's a running gag. But the best part is that each of those skins are unlockable as alternate costumes.

[@Scythewit]

I really want a full playthrough of this. The failure potential could reach DSP levels

[@Snowm316]

Do a full lets play of this.

[@furryfan87243]

They said they weren't but I would like a full LP of this as well. Eh... que sera sera.

[@dangermittens2656]

Nit Pick Yes but if everyone demands they do a lets play they usually go against their word because raisins.

[@furryfan87243]

Fatal Daemon Like I said, que sera sera

[@MetalVannan]

I know you said you wouldn't, but come on... Do a full playthrough. Look at how much fun you had!

[@hyperspacey]

You should REALLY do a full playthrough. It becomes Commando-level stupid fun pretty quickly. And the Danger Room is a laugh.

[@Equinox2149]

It's like a better version of Beyond 2 souls.

[@Nickropolis]

Pie-Ops: The Mincemeat Conspiracy

[@BarrettD656]

I wish you guys would do a full LP of this so bad.

[@FatalKitsune]

Ah, I loved me some Psi-Ops back in the day. Just throwing dudes into stuff was a riot. It gets kinda crap when the space bugs show up, but overall it's a really underrated gem.

[@BreakVoid]

you're right, matt. FUCK THAT ROOM!

[@Stimsaur]

YES I LOVE THIS GAME, THIS ALONG WITH DEF JAM WAS WAY BETTER THAN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN.

[@sammyshepard7929]

I don't even want to think about how many days I've spent on this game. I love going through each mission again with all the powers, just ruining everyone's day- and don't get me started on that training mode, with that crazy wrecking ball...

[@Norasuko]

Fuck, this game should be called Beyond Two Forces Unleashed!

[@stevebob240]

Matt was totally right about that power being Scanners head explosions

[@DatAsuna]

TBFP second sight for the real psychic game experience though. Timesplitters meets psyops meets metal gear rip off.

[@sa-x19]

Gotta say, spot on Bonesaw impression. I've been doing those exact same lines for years and people have been looking at me funny.

[@first2bpickdlast]

Man, I hope you guys play more of this. I think you will like the execute that mind control has.

[@SkynetSpider]

Man, this game had the weirdest Co-op. One person controlled the player and reticule, the other the guns and powers. It was some crazy bullshit back in the day.

[@Holk131]

I played this as a kid... You get to fight zombies later in the game. I really wish this was a full LP. I would did happy.

[@BallBusterJoe92]

This game was THE SHIT back in my day man the memories

[@ElocAndNave]

I fucking love whenever they make that "Ed Wood" reference! No one gives two fucks for Bela...

[@shooterb0y23]

That turret room reminded me of the fact that games now DON'T make you think like that anymore. If that game were made today there would be a condescending 30 minute tutorial on how to destroy turrets with a grenade or something.

[@Space_Donut]

The worst part about this game is that it ended on a cliffhanger! Thanks for playing it!

[@thewhitemask]

this game was the best, I love how the picture of woolie is just psi-op'ing a bunch of pies from a truck down his own throat XD

[@blurplepie]

I love this episode because pie YOU CARE YOU REALLY CARE, YOU GUYS. ...I'm not crying. I just got some of my filling in my eyes, that's all.

[@RobotWhaleE]

The guy with the goggles is evil Tommy Wiseau and you can't convince me otherwise.

[@PsiChaos2701]

Favorite part of this game was the training room thing they had where you had infinite health and can just summon and endless stream of guys and bash them about with a wrecking ball. This game knew what it wanted to be and had the best ragdoll physics to go with it.

[@daysand123]

I love how the title card has Woolie with glowing Crowing eyes

[@rootbeermcgee]

I dont know why but i wanna see you guys play Brute Force or Freedom Fighters

[@KrisProwler]

... Yeah, probably a good call to end the video there. You can't possibly go up from that line.

[@BrowncoatAllywang]

Gee I wonder if the Best Friends have been effected by KZbin's copyright bullshit.

[@superbestfriendsplay]

To be fair, people have asked for this game for years.

[@TheLegendaryZed]

TheSw1tcher I'm not one of them, but I would have been if I'd ever remembered it until now.

[@gamester091]

TheSw1tcher I may not have been one of the people that asked for it but im sure glad you guys are playing it. I loved this game. I would buy a HD remake in a heartbeat.

[@BrowncoatAllywang]

TheSw1tcher I mean I'm happy to see any video from you guys but have you guys thought of putting stuff on blip?

[@BrowncoatAllywang]

airgilbert Seriously? Exactly the same way as they do from KZbin. A lot of internet personalities have switched to Blip because of KZbin being fucking idiots.

[@LudeandLude]

Blade is such a great video game character. It's a shame no one talented got behind making a Blade game. He's got great powers, an arsenal of weapons, and looks badass.

[@shadowprophet88]

7:06 Don't Wizz On the Electric Chair!

[@Britishgentlman2]

When I first played this it BLEW MY MIND

[@xResyledx]

I remember playing the DEMO for this game for hours, it basically dumps you in a kill room full of phys objects and a big gigantic wrecking ball. Dudes just keep spawning, so much fun...

[@charliebrodie701]

The people demand a full LP! other than that what a class a game

[@AtlasLaVoe]

This deserves a full playthrough
