Jonathan Blow vs. A Threatening Dwarf (Colossal Cave)

[@JrIcify]

I thought the dwarf would get old but it was funnier every single time.

[@nonefvnfvnjnjnjevjenjvonej3384]

oh my god... my stomach hurts ive been laughing so much...

[@firefoxrealy3064]

This is a new technique called pain-oriented-game-design, it is executed brilliantly here

[@bone-nut]

They unearthed the ancient secret adventure game design techniques, more carefully hidden and forbidden than the in-game cave treasures specifically to torture the modern gamers.

[@ChadwellJ]

The unique, blood-curdling shriek and death before even landing from a 10 foot drop at 6:25 is hilarious. Just what we needed to break up the dwarf threat streak.

[@Hazanko83]

the look of surprise and disgust on his face when he realizes the knife doesn't always miss is incredible

[@jupiterapollo4985]

I'm surprised he lasted as long as he did tbh. Jon has definitely mellowed out in the years 😂

[@gusgusthegreat]

Somehow he is complaining less about this game than he did about Elden Ring.

[@mfalk6263]

The first dwarf type game

[@BiodegradableYTP]

Good to see you again, Blow Fan!

[@KarloKoscal]

the post-credits scene in this video is just brilliant. :D

[@error17_]

He's actually engaged af

[@MenkoDany]

"This might be all that I can take, I don't know if I can do it anymore" truer words have never been uttered

[@0ia]

"what is this, a video game for Ants?" 0:10

[@nerdError0XF]

oh man, i rarely watch Jons streams/vods, but somehow i randomly opened vod of him playing this game and it was freaking amazing. thank you for the highlight!

[@ThatsRaf]

guys, I'm not sure but I think there might have been a threatening dwarf at one point

[@nerdError0XF]

"There is a threatening dwarf! Nooooooooooooooooooooooo" (c) Jonathan Blow

[@jdd818]

That was awesome, watched to the end. Thank you for the compilation

[@funnyvideohaha5337]

Moment you cut to TW I knew what was coming but it still got me really good, nice edit

[@fleaspoon]

damn the ending was great 🤣

[@antonshidlovsky5579]

Happy to see you're back! Was missing the clips :)

[@Persian_Rug_Merchant]

None of the Steam reviews mention the incessant threat of dwarves. Weird.

[@robrick9361]

I was more threatened by the screen tearing. Gave me X360/PS3 launch title flashbacks.

[@no_no_just_no]

I'm sure that Blows intellect towers above mine, but i feel vindicated on figuring this out... pretty much immediately. Mr Blow, if you haven't figured this out yet... and you happen to read this. to throw the axe you have to "use" it by dragging it to the use icon, then the Dwarf.

[@nates9778]

I can't believe you witness'd the threatening dwarf at the end. I hope he missed!

[@Marshy50]

welcome back hope you post again soon :3

[@brcamu]

there ain't no point to the game, you just walk around in a cave avoiding dwarves

[@abdullahnadeem1823]

[@nurtureblossom7275]

Is this the witness?

[@rayecast]

lmao

[@slothguy_]

jonathan blow is literally forsen FeelsStrongMan

What is happening here? :D I was searching for other players playing this game but nobody encountered the threatening dwarf :D It has even great reviews on Steam! :D

[@calvinholt5630]

Someone made that game

[@logicreasonandevidence]

Not just someone. Roberta Williams, one of the first (and most successful) game designers ever.

[@MenkoDany]

Plugh Plugh

[@leandronicolas8848]

Oh dear.

[@leonader9465]

Why did someone make this??

[@Backup1982]

What's wrong with the FOV?

[@SimGunther]

11 months later just to be daworf'd 🤦‍♀️

[@BlowFan]

Not totally sure if that was a joke or complaint. But I did think that maybe a non-serious video like this wasn't what my viewers wanted the most haha.

[@alastairtheduke]

This was amazing@@BlowFan

[@SimGunther]

@@BlowFan Since you delivered a "serious video" on the side, I'll let this pass. If this dwarf vid was the only video for the next 11 months, that would've been concerning.

[@JrIcify]

I'm dwot a dwoblin

[@AnzenKodo]

can't find the og stream :(

[@inkolore2]

[@jupiterapollo4985]

Look on the unofficial Jonnathan blow stream archive. I imagine it's one of the recent videos.

[@AnzenKodo]

​@@jupiterapollo4985 i first tried to find there only and this is fairly old blow stream.

[@BinaryDood]

Is the dialogue/script for this game ai generated?

[@Tsunkuotaku]

it's a line for line transcription of a game called Collosal Cave from the 70's.

[@edhahaz]

Is this for blind people ?

[@cleasbycode7506]

Lol.🤣

[@jesusmgw]

I think it was the screen tearing that got him. Unplayable.

[@enneff]

It is infuriating to me how it says in passive voice “a knife is thrown,” as if a sentence ago it didn’t introduce the dwarf. Like why not say “it throws a knife” ?!?

[@Tsunkuotaku]

It was the 70's man. You know what they say about remembering the 70's.

[@abdullahnadeem1823]

Because it’s funny

[@HairyPixels]

Looks like a really dumb game. Why is he playing it??

[@abdullahnadeem1823]

Cuz it’s the first strand type game
