I never really got the deeper meaning of this game until now. The irony of the "main story" being about free will, while the narrator does nothing but yell at you when you exert your free will to go against his planned narrative. It's brilliant, and I was too busy laughing the first time to really get it.

1:13:50 Fun Fact: Fire Alarms have an expiration date believe it or not. If not properly maintained or if it was tampered with, a fire alarm can set off randomly in 2-5 years at maximum. So by that fact, Stanley has been standing in this room for at least 2 YEARS.

There are actually a few new endings you can access in the base game. For one, at the elevator that leads to the Mind Control Facility, you can now go back up. Go up and down a few times and you'll eventually get a brand new ending. Second, the 'Bottom of the Mind Control Facility' bug is now an ending. Just find a way to drop down! And thirdly, at the cargo lift platform, eventually a plank of wood will appear that allows you to access a vent down beside it on the left. You can technically get to it earlier if you use an unintended glitch method by crawling along the VERY edge, but this is safer and more reliable. Oh, and the Games Ending has been completely changed in this version of the game as well!

1:09:10 this was the best commentary during the skip button sequence though ;( yes I did sit through all of his monologues and yes it was worth it

[@kitkat25195]

Clap and a half for you. 👏🙌

[@baxland2539]

I think it's super clever that 'freedom' ending (turn off mind control) not only happens when you 1) Obey the Narrator ALWAYS and 2) Ends with ONLY in-game moment when you LOSE control of the character (you see 1st person but it's cut-scene line moment) and 3) Ends with same words 'And stanley was happy' that at the start implied that he was being mind controlled... fucking so many levels of 'wrong' in one moment Narrator: No longer would anyone tell him where to go, what to do or how to feel. Also Narrator: Stanley steped through the open door - and stanley was happy.

[@Syndicate_LS]

"Let me listen to him, or you can play the f*cking game". A moment that just got recommended to me after watching this. Haven't seen it since I initially watched it at release

[@arachnidsjacket57]

for me it was the opposite i got that then this

[@AnubisGray]

I love that the base "follow all the rules" narrative is still subversive. Stanley gains freedom from you giving up all of your control.

[@NiennaFan1]

And, you can’t control him in that ending, he’s controlling himself and he’s free of you!

[@DragonfireSL]

I *need* a quiet commentary on what is going on in Mirror Matt’s mind while they’re watching this!! Ooo this is so fun!!!

[@MysticTheUnicorn]

First we had 8-BitGaming with Ryan and Ryan, now we have GTlive with Mat and Matt

[@TheJCHarkins2]

Opinion: The Narrator is a metaphor for subversion, inserting a new system to root out another one, one with the same ruleset but different faces.

[@AlexanderHernandez-ge5vi]

Stanley in almost every ending: haha ignore the narrator Stanley in that one “new content” part: Narrator, I feel you man…

[@hannatude]

Cool as this is, I’m really hoping the next episode of Lily’s Well is coming out soon.

[@Juliette_jules]

Me too, it’s such a good game and I hope they play more of it

[@chuckcheez]

Me too! I’m so interested in lilys well

[@noahwattel4226]

58:46 *it's not just a picture of portal* Portal was in the Stanley Parable 2013 it was part of one of the endings just like Minecraft. 59:48 you didn't get this reference either I think.

[@jasper_the_techie]

I was waiting for this!! Saw some other people playing this but wanted to wait for you because I know how much you guys love this game

[@dingdongbells3314]

I need him to come back to this and do the rest, I NEED to see his reaction to the hole. It literally killed my sides and split my stomach open with laughter

[@jessicadonegan9283]

It’s also a commentary on “breaking out of a mind control center” while doing as the narrator tells you

[@shadyfier898]

no wayyy

[@10C45E]

1:16:30 it is interesting to hear those creepy sounds with the knowledge of what the world looks like later on. It leaves me speculating what was happening outside during the darker days in the skip room...

[@MadCatJervis]

I'm a bit disappointted there's no Lily's Well ending but super happy that Matt is playing this game, talk about complicating feelings

[@darkmagician2904]

Same. At this point if they finish lily's well I dont think it will be for a while. At least it is still on the desktop

[@lightningflame2082]

What’s Lily’s Well ending? Can you explain? :o

[@darkmagician2904]

@@lightningflame2082 do you mean what is the ending to the game lily's well? If so then SPOILERS: she is a clone made by alchemy.

[@JillInTheBox]

The fact that I ate a WHOLE PIZZA by myself while watching this at eleven at night, is kind of depressing--yet, impressive.

[@holofractal0687]

"Stan Lee pear a bowl". Mirror Matt never ceases to amaze. This is the stuff I come for. Absolutely legendary.

[@kryptoniurn]

58:45 theres a picture of the first level of portal there because there was an ending, that you did that test, and "played" minecraft aswell, it is one of my favourite endings

[@PieNumber4]

I distinctly remember Matpat and Steph finding the Lights Room together amd Steph pushing Mat to jump off the stairs. I watched that years ago. New Mandela effect unlocked?

[@littleartkid8587]

I actually took a university course about metagames and we talked about Stanley Parable a lot I could add so much to this but the thing that fascinated me the most is the "true ending" where you follow the narrator's voice You'd think that he shows you a world of freedom bit exactly at that point, the game switches to a cutscene and therefore actually taking over all control So the player actually has no choice even though the narrator says so But you could probably analyze this game to death despite of it's simplistic controls, graphics, etc.

[@endlesslytired]

You should do the normal endings with a certain bucket you come across, you get a lot of new dialogue and new stuff happens

[@avidee4300]

On the off chance that anyone will see this- there's this fantastic game called Title Pending with a similar vibe to the Stanley Parable and I highly recommend playing it.

[@edwarddent551]

I saw it

[@milessaxton]

The narrator just turned into “the scarred and depressed wife” so quick in the middle of the video

[@RoastyRoachy]

Hey Matpat! If you slow down some of the eerie background noises in the skip button ending, you might hear the narrator trying to call Stanley for help or just trying to find Stanley. (You have to speed it up around 500% to hear it?) Might want to check it out.

[@starshiny3399]

I miss Steph but I get that she had to step away. I hope she watches this.

[@SqueakyShortPerson]

Same. I don't watch as much. I miss her humor and wit! I always hope she'll do the occasional guest appearance. I definitely understand needing to step away, and I respect that. But I keep hoping anyway lol.

[@Kapullus]

Wait why does she need to step away?

[@starshiny3399]

@NotDudeGuy They did a goodbye stream a year ago. From what I gather it was to both free up time for her to do more behind the scenes work for the channels as well as for her to spend some time with family and loved ones. She has a toddler and that takes priority because he is dependent on them. But mostly she felt it was time for a change since she had been doing it for 5 years at that point.

[@jayrose2933]

My brain read that as steph away. I need to go to sleep.

[@drawingdragon]

Around 32:00 ish when they were both trying desperately to remember the name of "The Beginner's Guide" made me chuckle because JUST the other day I was trying to tell my sister about it (Stanley Parable is one of her favorite games) and couldn't for the life of me remember what it was called. Glad I'm not alone EDIT: 35:00 ish Bruh that was the fastest I have ever seen anyone find the Whiteboard ending, and without even looking for it 42:23 "I wonder what he was before? (Jokingly) LORE??" People who know: 👀 LAST EDIT 43:32 YES!!!! FINALLY someone talking about how the Narrator IS on Stanley's side!! He's a sarcastic little jerk a lot of the time, sure, but he genuinely does want Stanley to be happy - the "good" ending is just listening to the path he's set out for you. And Matpat bringing up that the suicide ending (well, really ANY bad ending) is you exerting your "free will", but which is more important - Stanley's happiness or your free will? It's really insightful and I didn't even pick up on it when I was introduced to the game years ago.

[@RotcodFox]

I'm very happy to see him playing one of my favorite games ever, but I think Mat turned down the game volume which is mildly infuriating because it's harder to hear the narrator on my phone

[@medg0798]

Davey Wreden and crow crow crows did an amazing job. been following them since they started development.

[@krishankumar347]

Just started watching, excited for the 3 hrs of hole content **Edit**: Did not get to 3 hours of hole this time. Look forward to the next video when we get to see it

[@kitkat25195]

Hopefully

[@suzie_do_you_copy]

53:00 "Have you heard of Among us, Stanley?"

[@maxdecember7485]

Yes! I just finished watching Jack play and I was positively giddy with excitement when I saw you’d posted this. I was made aware of The Stanley Parable and so many other amazing games through GTlive. Glad we get to experience this magnificent sequel together😩✨

[@shahaf1312]

The Portal and Minecraft pictures are from the original game where you enter the Blue door constantly and it finally gets frustrated with your decisions so it lets you play Portal and Minecraft for a little.

[@AinsleySunny]

“Noo nature you’re gone :(” is by far my fav matpat quote

[@nerdyvalkyrie9230]

Gods, I loved the original Stanley Parable so much I'm so glad you're playing the Ultra Deluxe edition! Edit: The "New Content" intro very much gives Fnaf VR vibes

[@DoctorW42]

wish they could’ve got Steph back on the couch for this one, maybe for the next instalment? she was a big part of the original playthrough and had a lot to add i thought + just a nice occasion and excuse to have her back for an ep or two bc she’s great

[@gilagal777]

This channel's OG Stanley Parable let's play is one of my absolute favorite things to go back and rewatch, I love it. So I'm super glad you guys did this as well, now that I'm finally playing it myself, I'm here to check it out!

[@jaspermoon7972]

"The broom ending is the best" ah yes, the good ol days

[@unrulybutton9913]

I love this all the memories and good times of old gt live. Like when mat and Stephanie we’re freaking out in the blow up ending where the narrator says it’s pointless 👌😂
