Bludd Light (Part 6)

[@GeriatricFan1963]

"Zeus, you fool! Why didn't you destroy Millie's letter?" "I am a computer." "Oh shit, of course; can't believe I keep forgetting that. Maybe I should have done it myself..."

[@Camkitsune]

This is _so close_ to being a really interesting story. You have a clone, slowly being eaten alive by a weird fungus-virus thing, in the middle of an abandoned medical facility full of shrieking abominations, with his only other human contact being the woman responsible for creating him. It could have been a cross between Resident Evil, Parasite Eve, and The Last of Us. Instead they had to go and fuck everything up in the execution, and what we get is a cross between Darkseed 2, Dracula Unleashed and Exmortis.

[@andrewgee4101]

But hey, at least we have Pipo this time. (Also nice avatar :3 ^w^ :3 )

[@portalfreak7628]

Honestly it would be neat to see this game being completely remade from the ground up. It's certainly got a neat premise and I really feel like the people behind it really wanted to make a good game.

[@nickfarmer2452]

"This is the room I was talking about. It's like there's all ice cream and they've got like different flavours. I don't know why they included this." For flavour, of course.

[@futonrevolution7671]

Beardo always orders vanilla and asks the server to pick out any beans in it. He was traumatized, as a child, when a scoop of pistachio dripped onto his arm.

[@ShinoSarna]

Are you implying that the thing on his arm is not mold but pistachio ice cream? THAT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING...

[@futonrevolution7671]

Beardo doesn't strike me as a man who'd ever smell like mint, so it'd have to be pistachio.

[@ShinoSarna]

I mean, the room with view on the cave appears to be some sort of cafeteria, I guess. I don't know why cafeteria has view on the cave and not on the botanical garden...

[@nickfarmer2452]

We're moving up floors. Like we started in storage/maintenance, and the floors will get nicer as we get closer to the executive suites.

[@TheRealJabbergeist]

Is Slowbeef eventually going to be commentating on one longplay while simultaneously recording the next one? Are we reaching toward a new level of efficiency in retsupurae?

[@futonrevolution7671]

-I'm wondering if slowbeef ever realizes that you can change camera angles, in this game. You can even go into first-person mode to make the combat... tolerable?- Never mind. He knew.

[@LongfellowLP]

"Milly, come here" in his pathetic "we gotta talk" voice made me spit out my drink Also, Sara is fucking hilarious and I'm really glad she has become a Retsu regular. Just wanted to put that out there

[@TheRealJabbergeist]

Methinks our couple of the year may need some marriage counseling. "Millie, what role does food play in your life?"

[@andrewgee4101]

It sounded like a man addressing his daughter after finding cigarettes in her room

[@harizotoh7]

If Beetus is too busy, I'd rather have Sara and Slowbeef do these together than nothing at all.

[@BynineStudio]

" milly... c'mere.... : ( "

[@12ealDealOfficial]

Woah, at the very end there it looks like Beardo is coming down with whatever that homeless guy had in that one Zapdramatics game. The enemy was poverty all along!

[@nekonomicon9938]

12ealDeal You'll have to use Milly and the power of psychology to woo him.

[@Rizimar]

The enemy was poverty? That certainly explains this game's budget

[@danstiver9135]

Y'know, Raz kinda reminds me of Barry from the first Resident Evil. Hold on, Raz... Barry? Coincidence?!!

[@spacewizarddragonpuncher2461]

One advantage of first person mode is that you don't have to look at Beardo while you're in it.

[@nekonomicon9938]

Oh no Razz transformed into a vampire And Milly only sounds mildly upset about it. If this turns into Twilight I'm out

[@JonathanSicoli]

Voxel Composer aaaaaaaaah.

[@spacewizarddragonpuncher2461]

Oh wait, the lab is using clone subjects, right? How much you want to bet Raz is a clone of mysterious computer man?

[@fireflocs]

guess what

[@niceshoelaces808]

[@josterplays8128]

"Millie betrayed me! I fed up with this world!"

[@calypsokiosko9067]

Mearrrw! Caugh--caugh--caugh! Bwaaaaug! The fighting in a nutshell.

[@futonrevolution7671]

You don't hear Johnny Bravo sounds, when Beardo does that crane kick?

[@jamesmason3734]

So until this point they imply that Milly was going to be a love interest, and then they say Milly created him. I'm hoping that they didn't think through the implication of that because if they did then I'm dreading the rest of this. This game was so much better when Peepo was around.

[@Jokoko2828]

Choo choo, all aboard cruise ship Oedipus.

[@harizotoh7]

Raz is a clone, meant to be a test subject. Milly is the scientist who made him.

[@ShinoSarna]

Disturbing implications would've been perfectly fine (it IS a horror) but the sad part is that I bet they don't follow up on the incestual implications of this at all.

[@Iamafishproductions]

I suspected there was a weird cloning link between them since I discovered that 'Azray' is literally pig Latin for "Raz.' Somehow this is just a bit dumber.

[@calypsokiosko9067]

@@ShinoSarna ...Ew.

[@ArcViper]

Deeply disappointed at the lack of blood-curdling screeches in this episode.

[@PikminRule]

that burner is so powerful it can cut through the space between bars

[@tidusmi2]

Something that disturbs me throughout this entire game is that Raz looks like DSP.

[@futonrevolution7671]

It's the other way around. DSP has been cosplaying as Beardo for years.

[@poodypooroo]

So the director and his computer are watching our heroes wander around this base? Are they Retsupraying this game too?

[@poodypooroo]

Is the computer Diabetus?

[@mrmusickhimself]

I can't believe I actually LIKED this game as a kid, holy shit. Also, the voice of Millie was the Mom who introduces the closet scare from The Ring, and Raz was the Dad in Firestarter. And no, I didn't need Google, I'm that much of a movie buff to know who Lindsay Frost and David Keith are. Frank Welker's even here as the super computer!

[@futonrevolution7671]

Frank Welker's the Edwyn Tiong of Western society. I'm pretty sure that he voiced me, at some point.

[@clamstain]

Junk Blading? Sounds painful. Luckily you can sign up for some Memory Deletion afterwards.

[@lich109]

Was Raz's ancestor Alexander from that Dracula game? They're both so completely unable to pick up on the most obvious clues around them that the people they meet are lying/hiding something.

[@TheRealJabbergeist]

It was discussed in the Dracula Unleashed comments that some of Alexander's apparent ignorance could be excused or at least explained by the fact that the general public in 1899(?) really didn't have much context for vampires. Undead tropes/"lore" that we take for granted as common knowledge now would seem absurd to him (as he mentioned several times in his diary), and Van Helsing's Scooby Gang really didn't seem to adequately explain things to him when you look at it in that light. Raz, though, I dunno. Thawing does strange things to the human mind.

[@lich109]

It's not his ignorance about vampires I have an issue with, it's his lack of ability to tell that people are lying/hiding stuff from him. He only goes "Something sure is weird here!" When anyine else would have figured out almost immediately that Devlin/bookstore dude were in on it.

[@TheRealJabbergeist]

Yeah, but I feel like people back then generally had a more narrow, straightforward view of things that would potentially lead to flat-out dismissal of odd behavior, or at least not thinking about it in much depth. Of course, there's also the possibility that it's just bad writing, but I think it's pretty fun to try to get into the mindset of the times.

[@lich109]

Even back then there's a point between "These guys have a secret, but I shouldn't pry." And "This guy claimed that everything that has happened (including his love interest being bit by a vampire) is his fault, his shop contains a lot of blood for some reason, and his partner threatened to kill me when I asked him for books on vampires, this is probably unrelated to the vampire issue I currently have."

[@TheRealJabbergeist]

No, yeah, don't get me wrong, he probably should have *at least* mentioned all that stuff to Van Helsing or Harker even if he didn't fully understand the implications himself. He did drop the ball for sure in a couple instances. This just occurred to me, though: The drunk Devlin scene was optional, so the following scenes couldn't really include information from it in case you missed it. In fact, I'm pretty sure a lot of investigation scenes were optional, considering the existence of time/location requirements. I assume our longplayer hit most if not all of them, but someone playing for the first or second time probably wouldn't, and that would give Alexander way less information to fail to act upon and make anything he overlooked seem less egregious. I really don't know why I'm thinking about this game so hard. I'm not really defending it per se, but I have a soft spot for it for some reason... Which is weird since I never heard of it before the RP. I'm a sucker for that time period and the live action scenes were comparably well-executed, with just the amount of campiness.

[@MyFanMadeFilms]

Good Golly Saint Molly there's another Bludd Light part to keep me JOLLY!!!

[@fathergetdown]

Azray? That's just Raz in Pig Latin!!! Wake up Sheeple...

[@muthesquirrel]

Is this ganna end with you uploading Peepo onto the master computer and overwriting the eeeevil AI?

[@dennett316]

Is the game really trying to hide that that shadowy figure is who Raz is cloned from? Because they made it super obvious from the first second that they showed the guy. Same voice actor, same character model for the head...why bother trying to paint it as a mystery when they didn't really do much to hide it?

[@andrewgee4101]

f o r e s h a d o w i n g

[@futonrevolution7671]

I dunno... let's not jump to conclusions.

[@Popebug]

I couldn't tell until someone pointed it out, but then again I'm not very bright.

[@futonrevolution7671]

Isn't that the one where -Beardo- Will Smith teams up with -Millie- an orc?

[@adrshepard1]

At 8:50 I had this strong urge to watch Genesis' "I can't dance" video

[@heroprotagonist7499]

8:00 has the A.I. been googling the Tao Te Ching again?

[@Grammaton485]

Is this your letter, Milly? Is this your letter, Milly? Milly, is this your letter? We know it's her fuckin' letter, man, ask her about the virus. Milly, is this your letter?

[@dqb999]

Given the game controls (sort of) better in first person, and the strange animations for ladder climbing and in the ducts, do you think this game was originally supposed to be first person only and they added the third person view later on in development?

[@bluebottle9555]

wonder if slowbeef ever finished playing overblood 2

[@MortalSora]

17:45 "Aaaarghh. This damn right arm, Liquid!!"

[@OhYouDontSayThat]

Whoa! I skipped from ep.3 to this one and suddenly Tekken alien fights!!!

[@Mikey-zj8bn]

Played thru this as a kid rented it got to the final boss in a few hours and i couldent kill the last boss for some reason i cant remember

[@Pollix780]

What's Diabetus been up to lately? Been out of the loop for a bit

[@NocturnalNick]

fighting in Nam

[@kirkstromgren9186]

NocturnalNick Vietnam was hell. I hated it.

[@clamstain]

Mr. Dangerfield! I loved you in "Ladybugs"!

[@TheShadowCookie]

I love how the "combat" seems to be so much the missing half of Deep Fear's "combat". In that game you had lots of enemy variety (sort of), but none of them were at all fast enough to oppose John Mayor's arsenal. This game has the speed down somewhat, but in exchange you only get one type of enemy that falters to melee. How can it be so difficult to have both. Resident Evil 1 had slow zombies, but also fast hunters. It wasn't always fair thanks to clunky controls and such, but felt good nevertheless.

[@arlowa]

You're going to need subtitles for Overblood 2. It is nigh incomprehensible because everyone just MUMBLES all the time in slightly British accents (Don't think they have subtitles natively? Could be wrong)

[@metalslimehunt]

You better post a Top 10 Overblood Lore Secrets video after Overblood 2 is finished.

[@mackerelphones]

I just can't get annoyed with this one. Maybe after Jack Orlando, anything will seem fantastic by comparison, but I don't know. Overblood is super clunky, but I think it's kind of charming.

[@EternalGuardian07]

Can someone photoshop the poses at 8:51 onto the Abbey Road cover?

[@meowistforlife]

Not Beardoh, the 5th best character in this game

[@spacewizarddragonpuncher2461]

Out of curiosity, what rankings do the characters have? Except for Peepo, he's obviously number 1.

[@meowistforlife]

Spacewizard Dragonpuncher well, there is the dead body we found, there is Milly, evil doctor, and that other woman

[@andrewgee4101]

Don't forget the AI.

[@TaTiToTu]

17:48 Laziest attempt at ears ever?

[@PsychadelicoDuck]

Beef sounded as convincing as Milly, talking about Faq there.

[@SuperKittyPogoDance]

I still like how the monsters sound like feral cats in heat.

[@handofstand]

+SuperKittyPogoDance Somehow, they sound the same as the vampires when they are hit in Soul Reaver (by Eidos). Maybe they used the same stock sound effect libraries?

[@KoolMutualAids]

That was unexpected, I coulda sworn they were gonna save Beardo until the very end of the game, or save or cure him somehow, have him go out in some dramatic sacrifice. Wasn't expecting for an anticlimactic transformation to just happen like that.

[@nickfarmer2452]
