Oliver grasped wildly for narrative conclusions that he would never find

[@SnowInApril]

Why is it always oliver. first outer wilds and now stanley parable, 2 games where i feel ive seen EVERY SINGLE corner of the entire game only for him to find something new EVERY TIME ???OLIVER??? WHO ARE YOU?? 45:18

[@cleverman383]

That evil monologue by the narrator in this episode went hard AF (props to the VA for that performance!)

[@grandphenocianphoenix1796]

Oliver’s commentary for this game has to be some of the best commentary I’ve seen, the solitaire joke and cutting back at the narrator after he insults Stanley made me almost burst out loud with laughter.

[@mcmuffin55555]

I love that he's so combative!

[@reptiliannoizezz.413]

And much like he did with the Last Stag in Hollow Knight, he even gave the narrator a name xd

[@great_hedgehog8199]

As well as the fact he's able to appreciate not just the humour, but also other interesting narratives of the game

[@Blubbpaule]

59:00 Now i believe it's VERY IMPORTANT that oliver plays the game "ANTICHAMBER". Seeing your reaction to the "impossible geometry" makes me want to see your reaction the entire antichamber game.

[@n4rf645]

I recommended it to him a while ago. Here's hoping he'll play it some day.

[@Tryforce8000]

I keep recommending it, myself. Yeah, absolutely hope he'll play it someday.

[@LB_]

I hope he'd enjoy it. Antichamber is one of the most misunderstood puzzle games out there, many of the negative reviews are from people who intentionally made their own experience worse by manually placing one block at a time to circumvent puzzles.

[@richardwingrove953]

Definitely Antichamber, maybe Superliminal as well?

[@snake1987666]

or Superliminal

[@sammxn-w2v]

I like the irony of how the ending where you exert free will and break free from your mind control only happens when you follow every instruction the narrator gives you

[@catwiththepower]

I never realized that, very cool

[@GLUBSCHI]

He really managed to get every ending where stanley dies first

[@shibainu2528]

Stanley actually dies a lot now that you mention it, like that one ending last episode where the player did an "actually incorrect" choice. You could argue that the player being forcefully separated from Stanley is basically him becoming comatose with no voice in the back of his head to control his actions.

[@reptiliannoizezz.413]

​@@shibainu2528 And the ending where it says "please die" at the end

[@jaspin555]

Oliver would go nuts playing antichamber haha

Yesss the way he got so excited by the non-Euclidian room

[@iamevn]

45:18 wtf, I've never seen this before

[@Yorrick624]

​spoilers (for Oliver at least): it's actually one of the biggest mysteries in the community, leaving the people who are desperatly (and hopelessly) trying to figure out the lore puzzled, and thus it shows up in almost every lore/story video of the game

[@randomusername6]

Every copy of The Stanley Parable is personalized

[@TheRealBatabii]

I've never seen the brick wall in the Apartment ending either.

[@tritonis54]

@@Yorrick624Thing is, it’s not a mystery because it doesn’t mean anything. That’s kind of the point of the game : it always pretend to make sense, have secrets and deep meaning while constantly contradicting itself and putting jokes were you don’t expect. It’s the commentary on games and their choices being intrinsically fake, since they only exist in the confines of the story.

[@Churahm]

same wtf. I've played this game quite a bit and never noticed that... creepy af

[@shibainu2528]

I like how when you derail the story enough, the Narrator suddenly starts talking to Stanley (and by extension, you, the player) directly instead of "talking" to him in third person. Like, "Stanley walked through the door on his left" compared to "Are you... still in the broom closet? Why!?" Edit : Also, here's a fun fact since Oliver found the nuclear ending. The song that plays after you hit the "On" button, according to KZbin videos I have found, lasts approximately 4 minutes and 27 seconds. I was going to mention how you hear bombs after the 2 minute timer *would* have ended, before Daniel added more time, but that was false information that I mixed up due to how you hear them 30 seconds before they reach your part of the building.

[@axeldewater9491]

Could you elaborate what you tried to explain in the last part. Didn't quite understand you there.

[@shibainu2528]

@@axeldewater9491 I thought I remembered seeing a comment somewhere where it went "After 2 minutes, you start hearing explosions, but after another 1:30 or so, those explosions reach your part of the building where the timer finally hits zero" Because you were originally given 2 minutes, until the narrator added more time to the clock at 42:43 (80 more seconds to be exact). Of course, this comment doesn't exist and I just made the fact up in my head, which I only realized when going back into the video and seeing that the bombs start at the last 30 seconds, way past when the 2 minute timer would have ended.

[@UltimateLoaf]

[@forestfeller]

So glad you decided to play this game! Its shaping up to be one of the best Oliver playthroughs yet

[@dajungle4010]

Oh man this is great! I hope Oliver ends up being a bit more thorough than some other LP's of this I've seen. I mean I doubt it's possible to actually see every ending on a blind playthrough just cause there are some things a person might never think to try or you have to find almost by accident, (I've seen a few where the person just never thought to jump off the platform onto the catwalk) but it would be nice if he doesn't just get like 15-20% of the endings and then decide that he's seen everything. Looking at past LP's of his though I'm not too worried about that!

A little technical tip, if something is at the edge of your screen (escpacially with a high FOV) then its a bit more zoomed in.

[@beflyaudio]

I havent laughed that much out loud in a while :D the dynamic oliver has built with Dave is so good.

[@cleverman383]

"Why do I feel like I'm going to hell?" - Oliver

[@neshrammc]

The interplay between the Narrator and the Line is kind of neat, if you follow at full speed. Otherwise they're just kind of separately meandering. But I'm sure trying to come up with a way to stage that particular voiceover to match progress along the hall would have been a mess.

[@absinthespoons]

I find it interesting seeing what kind of personalities respond to the narrator with hostility universally vs which sympathize with him vs which will flip flop depending on the narrator's attitude. Can't relate to the hostility tack. The narrator is a psychologically terrorized... uh, being and I will always be on his side. No matter how off the rails he goes, no matter how vindictive, I'm always rooting for him.

Thinking about Stanley Parable being dark and depressing, you should play the creators other game, The Beginners Guide. It's not a choice based adventure, but a much deeper story.

The only similar game that I've played is The Magic Circle, which is about game development. ...and I suppose Daniel Mullins games count too. The Hex is very, very meta.

[@Mixail]

Have you tried The Beginner's Guide? It is another game by Davie Wreden (the creator of The Stanley Parable), curiously also about game development. It's not as light-hearted as TSP, and also much more linear, but still very unique. (By the way, I've never heard about The Magic Circle before, so thanks for the recommendation!)

Stanley scrolled through the list of comments, diligently reading every single one, except for this one. He did not read this comment at all, because he knew, deep down, that reading this comment would knock over a tiny, imperceptible domino, the first domino in an impossibly long, impossibly complicated series of dominos, dominos that cascaded across all of space and time, and spiraled through the vast calculus of the universe, and at the end of which lied a grand reveal, with incontrovertible evidence, that Stanley was a stinky butthead, and that he smelled bad, and that everyone would point and laugh at his big stinky butt.
