Let's Play Octodad: Dadliest Catch - Late to the Party

[@tomchaney6085]

I've never quite understood why they'd make a game just about a totally normal dad

[@kennystoneman2584]

Fun fact (for a given definition of fun): Back in the day, some grammarians wanted English to be like Latin, which is clean and neat, so they said the plural of "octopus" should be "octopi." But some other grammarians said, "Hold on, Octopus is a Greek-based word," so it should be "octopodes" (awk-top-oh-dees). What both of these groups failed to remember is that once a word is brought into the English language, it obeys English rules, so it should be "octopuses." At the end of the day, octopi, octopodes, and octopuses are *all* correct. See? Fun!

[@Jillbles]

Fun with etymology! 😁

[@RonnieBarzel]

Supports the saying: “English is three languages stacked on top of each other, wearing a trench coat.”

[@charlieni645]

Johnny wrote the description.

[@AngelBeatYunara]

Desecrate the (sea) church of Cthulhu? Best not let the OXventurers find out!

[@Sol-mr1lv]

That's why Johnny isn't there

[@brocksisson7128]

5 minutes in and i've genuinely not seen Octodad played this skillfully. And of course Ian has octopus puns ready to go, I would expect nothing less.

[@vattmann1387]

Call-amari if you can think of any more.

[@21RedRabbit]

I bet they met in Japan. Somehow I have that sort of hunch about this tentacle lovestory

[@TheRemiCay]

The coffee section reminded me that my coffee is done brewing and probably very room-temperature by now

[@matwetton]

You guys should try manual Samuel. Similar and equally hilarious

[@sevensins3584]

Fitting that Ian starts with a octopus themes dad joke

[@Arbouet]

My favourite Aoife quote: "...I respect people's feelings...what are you lookin at B£$ch?!"

[@diegomarino]

I love how Ian and Octodad put the sunglasses at the same time :)

[@Sol-mr1lv]

Octopus? Tentacles? What are you talking about? This is a game about a clumsy man, there are no octopodes in it

[@d0natr0n47]

I've never seen Aoife look as mad as she did at the end of this video. Not even through all of Dark Souls/Bloodborne 😂

[@kahunab7400]

That is some serious social critique with the coffee and by the grill. He hits her, she screams in pain, and then goes on with her day as if nothing happened. Darkest domestic violence commentary ever.

[@Nick-gi9gk]

First "touch the darkness within me," and now "gently caress the wood" - the games here on Eurogamer seem to share a common theme.

[@conway-jr4ce]

god i love the look of this house id live there

[@Khakimonk]

Congrats on your nuptials Aoife, I can only assume you channelled OctoDad in your walk up the aisle. I will be upset if I hear otherwise.

[@zanite8650]

Gently caress the wood.

[@sleepytime999998]

What do you call an octopus that loves Led Zeppelin? A rocktopus. What do you call a square octopus? A blocktopus. What do you call an octopus that loves hugs? A cuddlefish.

[@Johnny90M]

I came for Octodad, I stayed for Ian in jorts

[@d2factotum]

Ian is totally *not* sorry for that last joke...

[@iamshaba4210]

6:15 Jane - I mean Prudence would be so mad at you

[@alexkindl861]

51:07 Dreaded Candiru spotted!

[@jaredmclaughlin5256]

Even when you do register for a wedding, people still give you shit you don't want or need...

[@alphamike87]

Octodad didn't even touch the log with the axe blade lol

[@Uncle_T]

Octopuses or octopodes (Greek plural), but not octopi (since it comes from Greek, not Latin) ;)

[@nummy_nummers]

Since my brother taught me the word octopodes I've delighted in telling it to anyone who'll listen (and plenty who won't) 🐙 🐙

[@Uncle_T]

+1 as you can tell :D

[@scottsanerd]

Yeah, if we were speaking Greek then you could say octopodes, but as it's now an English word as well, we should just go with octopuses.

[@nummy_nummers]

@@scottsanerd But octopodes is so much more fun!

[@Uncle_T]

Octopuses, octopodes or octopi are all accepted forms in different parts of the world, so use whichever you like (not octopi though :P ). :)

[@TimFisheroo]

An octopus has its testicles in its head, so Ian got that one right!

[@CodaBlairLucarioEmperor]

Also ttwo of it tentacles act as it's prnises

[@alphamike87]

Oh no, you ate Red Snapper, the best man lol

[@DokkaChapman]

Bad Octodad! You need nice fronds!

[@christinewebb8893]

This is an interesting game, but I would've got VERY frustrated with the controls in less than 10 minutes.....Still, considering the challenges OctoDad has to face on land, this is why real octopi stay in the seas and oceans. XXX XXX

[@calumchamberlain8896]

Ian dads jokes are shellfish.

[@Jillbles]

You'd no more take Octodad to the aquarium than you would Johnny. This game is mean.

[@nightcatarts]

14:20 Press X to mug wife.

[@alphamike87]

I think the news Scarlet had was that Octodad isn't the father of those kids lol

[@scottsanerd]

Wait...Mrs. Higton calls him Higton?

[@alphamike87]

Maybe have garden Gnomes that look like World of Warcraft ones, might be better.

[@sulla4786]

What is your flyboy name Ian?

[@Sol-mr1lv]

15:39 Stop slapping your wife in the face with your hot meat!
