I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream [Part 3] w/ Octopimp!

[@theredeft5319]

This game has to be one of the hardest point and clicks. There is so much detail so many ways to do things. Though the biggest hint is never to give into the characters base desires as AM wants you to do. You guys seemed to have started to figure that out in the last one. It's about each character trying to overcome their past, atone for their past, and do the best to bring humanity back into a world destroyed by the worst of it. I don't think I've ever seen another game quite like it.

[@SUMCDM]

I have no Cox and I must Stream

[@KlintKaras]

Mr. Jazzels I have no likes and I must meme.

[@HEYBUDDYMAN86]

why is this not the subtitle for these streams?

[@RozzanaRose]

For people complaining about the guide, remember this is a stream and not a standard LP. They wanted to get the perfect endings and in that setting there is absolutely no way for them to do so with the game's difficulty and style of play. Being mad at him for using a guide on a difficult game that he had no intention of playing for 10+ hours and wasting time, in a live-feed doesn't make sense. In short, there are different concerns between twitch and youtube. The twitch stream was fine and enjoyable, but if you want a legit LP go somewhere else. Don't try to make a steak dinner out of a sandwich.

[@oopus4]

They could have used the guide sparingly, you also make it out to be way more difficult than it really is.

[@RozzanaRose]

It was difficult enough for them, that they felt it would take too much time within this specific session to figure out on their own. Twitch streamers have different concerns than youtubers, which is why the stream was the way it was.

[@polyjohn3425]

No, they couldn't have used the guide sparingly. This game is great, but it punishes you for exploring, and one misclick on a seemingly-innocent item can prevent you from getting the "perfect" ending, which is actually the only good ending. They explicitely played the game in a stream with the goal of getting the good ending. Without playing the game enough times to memorize it, playing by the guide is literally THE ONLY WAY to do what they wanted to do.

[@FlozzSD]

Watch the Super best friends play LP they did like 4 years ago, it’s good

[@Benjiman20]

but they start to play by the guide to late, there is literally no point in following the guide after messing up the first 2 characters

[@Adsew]

I love that your playing this game. Old games with this art style are always just fun to go back and play

[@GloriousGlue]

Rusty Lake then two weeks later this? I'm loving these point-and-clicks. Make em a monthly thing!

[@stewardofconsciousness9781]

This game and The Longest Journey are my two favorite Point and Click Adventure games. They both have a great story.

[@橘デル]

Please read the book in a stream, I want to have story time with Jesse.

[@mattgreen7692]

The "As read by the author" version takes only 40 minutes, so it wouldn't be unreasonable.

[@adavis1436]

Ellen's bed is yellow!

[@paulcrewesness754]

man this game is a point and click treasure of a life time.

[@111cvb111]

Yeah, its the idea that either AM will always survive in some capacity as he is too big to completely fall, or more likely that it is human nature to create another AM.

[@TheJavierMartinez88]

14:59 One way or another you will have to put your hands in her oven. BA DUM TSSSSSS.

[@GmodPlusWoW]

What an experience that was. If there are other games that you and Octo are eager to tackle together, by all means bring them forward!

[@TiroDvD]

More context for Ted: he's a poser. He was born to a working class family and did lots of menial jobs. Then saved enough and got into high society, prep, posh; hence the sweater tie. But of course he didn't let his new associates know that he's actually poor. That deep dark secret to be kept.

[@crimsonfirecat]

Man I forgot how much creepier the original story was til I went back and looked at it lol

[@Adsew]

So, while leveling in WoW I just stumbled upon a quest in Jade Forest called "I have no jade and I must scream." Who knew it was so popular HAHA

[@wickedsencho]

Please bring Octo on more often, or the other way around. I dont care as long as you two do videos together, I am happy.

[@flamedance58]

It'll be interesting to see Octo n' Cox talk about this during the Co-optional.

[@beththebubbly69]

I just finished part 2 what amazing timing!

[@Xarestrill]

That was fun. Finally got to see a classic game I missed being played. Thanks. :)

[@huskarl5366]

Please play the original Simon the sorcerer. It's incredibly funny and the point and click nature isn't too obscure. Also, this play through was super cool to see. Hope you play more retro games with the help of GoG.

[@zacharybosley5740]

47:22 Who put Billy Bob Thornton in this game? I know it’s not actually him, but damn does it sound like him

[@zacharybosley5740]

49:27 See! Octopimp agrees!

[@IPrintz815]

That's not how you read Ted. Lol 😂😂

[@PoiSonSonic]

Okay, I'm Russian. Can you kindly tell me why Chinaman 1:06:40 is not correct anymore and what wording should be used if the game was to release nowadays? Thank you.

[@JackTheFoxVA]

Pretty late, but Its been a slur since the 1870s

[@HEYBUDDYMAN86]

Question for any commenters: WHY WAS I ALLOWED TO PLAY THIS GAME WHILE I WAS 4 WHEN MY PARENTS THOUGHT THAT JUST A CHARACTER HOLDING A GUN FOR 90% OF THE GAME WAS TOO FAR OR CHARACTERS CUSSING WAS TOO MUCH?!

[@ramdc5368]

Xell because you wouldnt have understood what was happening anyway. You were 4

[@HEYBUDDYMAN86]

Cholo Dela Cruz a 4 year old wouldn’t have understood “I took those eyes from a man who was just complaining of pain from having them removed.” “That Wall is made of faces.” “That kid’s mother was just chosen to die.” And “you died in place of the kid.” I understand I wouldn’t have understood most of the truly awful things, but as a kid I remembered the eyes and then staring at me and the faces and the sacrifice. In fact, that last one messed me up because I didn’t understand *why*. Seriously though, I remember the eyes stuff and the sacrificial stuff and how bloody that surgical table was. Nimdoc’s section fucked with me as a kid.

[@ramdc5368]

Xell point taken ;)

[@Mirality]

The bad ends in this game are part of the fun, though....

[@ULTRARADICALTOYWORKS]

Thanks again Jesse! You have made my day yet again!

[@czarthetincanman6120]

28:23 Those must be *special books...*

[@orcwordlaugh1360]

The "have you ever been with one of those things" comment by the cockney lunch lady. I just assumed she was implying Ellen to be a Changeling or something.

[@KlintKaras]

Orcwordlaugh I assumed that... But based on Jesse's comments it was a race thing .

[@Himiko_Void]

It was a race thing; she was referring to the fact that Ellen is "black", and the story is... set in the 60s? I think? So definitely intended racism here.

[@gaga5969]

As a Brit I can say with 100% certainty, we all talk with that voice.

[@emmyg.3118]

I know this may be a shot in the dark but does the Car Salesman Devil remind anyone of that one episode of Quantum Leap where Al was replaced with Satan

[@thatlycantomboy]

Emmy G. Holy crap, now that I think about it, yeah

[@nicoreuel2092]

Jesse, PLEASE play Harvest!

[@Surikoazimaet]

Would be worth the reactions later in the game...

[@hughjass6011]

>Fuck

[@TheJavierMartinez88]

37:09 Soooo you aren't that good maintaining things *OPEN* then.

[@kodyw2960]

This suddenly became Fallout, complete with Dogmeat

[@soup2634]

GG More of this team up please!

[@Suntaile]

YOU NEED TO DO MORE PLAYTHROUGHS WITH THIS DUDE :D

[@tarjet3867]

Please no, this guy’s an annoying bonehead:

[@whitehawk3638]

Fuckin love it when people chew loudly in the mic like real professionals. Worse than nails on a chalkboard for me.

[@baatinagawo1207]

I literally need to read this book.

[@shivorath]

It's a short story easily read in a single short sitting, and easy to find for free online. Yes you need to read it, set aside 30 minutes and do it.

[@Gormathius]

Octopimp? More like Octo-wimp!

[@DCamp1271]

The devil looked like Richard Simmons.

[@hexxikens]

*more retro games please I live for theessee*

[@StellaWasAlreadyHere]

What was AM doing to Ellen?? “Whispering in ear” ?? AM?? SOMETHING YOU WANT TO SAY???

[@BottomBunkArt]

Did you see the size of that guide?

[@acleus]

Holy fuck. The original story changes your perspective on this game so much, especially in regards to Ellen. Holy fuck

[@Pearlflower1]

I dream on this , and especially Ellen ,just sheer horror of hell hole , just the art style and the dialogue of character make me very sad … the premise story itself is another thing to explore more , I surprised there no movie on this ! Maybe something todo with the author being a blacklist in Hollywood and I hear he a hardheaded to deal with .

[@a-filipov]

If you ever feel like doing another point-and-click, I highly recommend Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis

[@Shadowling]

I seem to recall Jesse praising that one in the co-optional podcast. But yeah it's one of the best out there imo.

[@TheDwarvenDefender]

25:30 Aw shit, tappin' into them Zero Escape morphogenetic fields across the timelines, my man!

[@TheNova258]

Hell yea watched part 2 click out and here's part 3.

[@EridianX]

Wait, why was saying chiniman bad? I have never heard that before.

[@Indestructibear]

Watching you play this game sort of reminds me of Portal

[@atropabelladonna12]

Wait wait wait, someone tell me what is wrong with Chinaman? I thought it literally meant a man from China. Does it not? Just trying to learn whats what, not stir the pot.

[@huntermcintosh8173]

Bit late, but it's just pc bs trying to make everything offensive, Chinaman means nothing different than calling a French person a Frenchman and an English person an Englishman

[@JackTheFoxVA]

@@huntermcintosh8173 I'll be honest; any time someone calls something 'PC'- it makes me assume they're saying something bad. The words just so rarely preceed a good take. Also- it has been well documented for decades that the word has been used as a derrogaory term.

[@baatinagawo1207]

Was there a connection that Benny had with the group? I don’t recall

[@eldasralmal]

I think Benny is related to the group in the sense that he has to sacrifice for others. Hence, the reason for the fruit in the Benny segment

[@Himiko_Void]

Do you mean in the short story? Benny is the only one who can sexually please Ellen in the short story. Or do you mean in this game? I can't remember his connection in this game.

[@AlbinosiyUtkanos]

play in everlasting summer

[@TheJavierMartinez88]

13:38 This woman is thirsty and dripping wet as fuck. xD

[@Midnightbells]

More Octo!

[@lilpsychocici]

Does Ted kinda sound like Brian O'Halloran of Clerks fame to anyone else? This game is hella good and weird though.

[@_Foehammer]

Love me some Mads Mikkelsen

[@shoelacecore]

Bro ted is SUCH a simp.. he got Ellen all wrong 😭 shes a badass and ted thought she was a littel princess to be saved... yuck

[@deadso]

I was enjoying this up to the poit Jesse decided to follow a manual.... damn shame

[@whatsupstudmuffin4515]

That comment about mads mikkelsen fans got me too real

[@yourcollegedebt8384]

The Russian kind of looks like one of the Pillar Men from JoJo's Bizzare Adventure. Am I alone in this?

[@jawstrock2215]

*Follows a walkthrough* Octopimp: did we finish it?! No duh...

[@Arkydos]

Well, to be fair... Jesse was the one reading the guide^^

[@skinnermclane4467]

I hate to say this was really disappointing when you got the airship segment and you started simply reading from the guide exclusively. You were no longer even attempting to explore or look at the game itself at all. I appreciate having a guide to help when you get stuck or even to keep things moving - but when you don't even take the time to explore your surroundings it defeats a lot of the purpose of playing the game in the first place; at least - for me. I say this not to be mean, but because it's a shame you didn't experience the airship segment for what it was, and hope in the future you take your time if you do more games like this.

[@SapphireDragon357]

To be fair, this game commits one of the cardinal sins of adventure games: punishing exploration. If you say the wrong things or even look at the wrong stuff, you don't get the 'perfect' ending.

[@SuperHoppedUp]

Yeah it kind of relies on using save scumming to complete perfectly on your first playthrough (which is kind of LP poison.) One could argue that save scumming represents the idea the AM is making the characters repeat these sequences over and over until they either get their perfect ending, or the ending that he wants, but one would have a hard time arguing that so far up their own ass.

[@skinnermclane4467]

Agreed, with both of you. I was simply lamenting that once it got to the point where they were no longer examining their surroundings the LP fell apart.

[@bustoo]

Yea I still really enjoyed it but I did prefer when they were searching around stuff.

[@francescaortiz8375]

no need to be a prick about it, it loses a magic when it's just straight up following a book instead of exploring every little quirk. Jesse typically likes to see every interaction within a game so it's surprising how he just ignored things because of the guide

[@FatedMusic]

I'd rather you guys have played and puzzled it out on your own, perfect ending or not. :( This isn't quite as much fun.

[@gabrielmendez4161]

After the first two Ted’s part is goofy

[@DeathMonky22]

Hey Jesse, where is dodger? Haven't seen anything from her channel in like a month! I'm getting a little worried here

[@Gormathius]

DeMonky22 don’t know if you watch/listen to the Co-Optional Podcast, but they explained somewhere I think in last week’s episode that she’s super messed up by preggers hormones.

[@picaludica]

Her baby is due in ten weeks - she's just getting tired really quickly these days. I'm not sure what her plans for streams and such are right now, but she's bound to slow down a great deal - there will most likely be a maternity leave hiatus in her content.

[@lemon9.9]

yesss more

[@opssham]

Teds Ellen husband oooooooooo!!!!!

[@Crunchbite_Daimyo]

YEEEESSSSSSS!

[@Nex0928]

damn. So... was listening to this looking at mods for FONV... literally under the recommended section for this mod is the following: NVAC - New Vegas Anti Crash. (Again, and again, and again, right Ellen? Do you remember this yellow outfit of mine. when we have so lovely time at that elevator?! CTDs ELLEN!!!!!!!). I'm.. just going to go curl up in a ball now.

[@橘デル]

The actual book, "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream"

[@svdukat4791]

I guess Ted and Ellen will have to repopulate the world.

[@fireleader70]

SV Dukat its implied during Nimdoks and the caveman's story that a small portion of humanity is secretly living on the moon

[@Himiko_Void]

There are 300 people on the moon, which is more than enough to actually repopulate a little island. So they can find a way to make a living.

[@TheDude10]

They really need to read the story now. They’re missing so much.

[@F_lippy]

The story is a short story of a few pages, how much could they miss?

[@NoESanity]

a little thing called context.

[@Mick_Chicken]

lol @ all these people bitching about guide use, you must not be familiar with these older adventure games.

[@jamesevarts3]

sadf

[@poundsofslothcigars]

ICA

[@Benjiman20]

I would prefer if you played the game your way not the guide way... finding weird stuff and doing theories. You could watch 100%perfect no scope 360 4k playthroughs on many other channels >:(

[@Animestar5]

I know this is all from a stream they already did. But I really disliked that Jesse just looks everything up. What happen with you just doing it for one person? I came here to watch Jesse and Octo play a cool point and click game. And puzzle and talk out what's going out in the story. Not for you guys to read a guide.

[@Brambleblood]

So many butthurt people. I thought this was really awesome and besides everyone uses a guide at some point. Don’t like go watch someone else play the game.

[@glitchxero4687]

This game is to point-and-click adventures as The Room is to indie films. Bizarre story, original Resident Evil-level voice acting, old-school graphics... This game is 10/10

[@HEYBUDDYMAN86]

the difference is, it's actually well written and really disturbing. The 10/10 from me is because of all of that and still pulling off being well written.

[@oopus4]

Pixel-art = old-school graphics? Also voice acting is not so bad in this game. I doubt you have played Resident Evil.

[@Himiko_Void]

You are aware that this game... came out in 1995 right? The artstyle like this isn't on purpose, it's probably a result of being in development for some time and then coming out on 1995. The voice-acting is also rather fine when it comes to some of the characters and the voice actors are trying very hard with an actual English-written script instead of a Japanese to English translated script. Have you even heard the original RE game? Also, comparing it to the room? Seriously? The Room is an extremely awful movie with an extremely awful script with extremely awful acting and an extremely awful writer/director/producer. I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream is actually good.

[@HyraxAttax]

This would actually be cutting-edge graphics in 1995. You'd need a nice graphics card to avoid having to play it in 256-color mode.

[@bloomingteratoma]

To the people who think this is good voice acting: please take off your nostalgia goggles. This game has terrible voice acting and dialogue writing most of the time.

[@SnoutBaron]

No clue why you guys are losing your minds over Chinaman. We don't lose our minds over Englishman or Irishman...Christ sake it's even the name for a left-arm spin bowl in Cricket.

[@Prelmable]

Well, it's not Englandman or Irelandman. And it's not Chineseman. Do you see the difference, SnoutBaron?

[@Himiko_Void]

Yep, definitely what Prelmaple said. Also lol an English man and an Irish Man are Actual ways to describe someone. American man, Canadian man... whereas Canada man, America man, Japan man are not. China man is not a good way to refer to Chinese men, or a Chinese man.

[@SnoutBaron]

What are phonetics Prelmable? China + man goes together while Chinese + man doesn't. Can you hear the difference? >Also lol an English man and an Irish Man are Actual ways to describe someone. A K So is Chinaman...but apparently everything to Americans is racist. Why Chinaman is somehow more racist than Englishman, no one knows.

[@LivingLeeEUC]

SnoutBaron because Jesse was a history teacher and knows more than you

[@SnoutBaron]

A history teacher of what? "History teacher" doesn't mean the guy knows everything about all of history lmao. Americans are always so touchy about words. Chinaman is fine. You even had to start using words like POC. Black people in African countries don't even dance around the word, they call themselves....Black. I would know, because I live in an African country.

[@jeremieblack3471]

dude needs to stop eating and focus on the stream

[@francescaortiz8375]

YEA QUIT EATING AND ENTERTAIN ME. STARVE.

[@tarjet3867]

Of all the times to be eating, why do it during your job in which you’re recording yourself for an audience? It’s not like he streams 24/7, he could’ve ate before hand. It’s also rude to have someone munching in your ears for 15 minutes. Also, how are you gonna play nimdoks segment and react less hysterically to that than the word “chinaman”?

[@ShasOSwoll]

Cannot say "Chinaman" oh come off it

[@kybercat7]

"chinaman" see jessie you can say it! And you can quote me as saying this "Hong Kong has many friendly chinamen"

[@avidwriter2882]

Sure it is. However you can SAY A WORD. You know, cause it's a WORD. Fucking come off it. A word only has meaning or is hurtful if you let it!

[@francescaortiz8375]

Yea no shit you can say anything, yea no shit it's a word *rolls eyes*. But it's a slur, the difference between you being not offended by "chinaman" and others being offended is that the word isn't targeted towards you. The word regardless of your perspective, has been used to oppress others.

[@baconbankai]

Funny Chinaman is racist but saying "a Chinese man" is PC.

[@bloomingteratoma]

I live in a country with mostly Chinese people and all the friends I have find the term Chinaman to be extremely condescending. Kinda like the term whiteboy.

[@meskalurator]

i hate octopimp so much

[@IsaacEternal]

I have a big chewing into microphone pet peeve. Not happy I wont get to watch a lot of the first part of this.

[@SuperHoppedUp]

Ya it's pretty rough.

[@Zangelin]

Ok? Good for you?

[@HarlequinHeart16]

Isaac Chase glad you felt the need to make a comment about it 👍

[@Braverocker]

Hey Soy boy

[@avidwriter2882]
