Praise S.H.O.D.A.N. | System Shock Remake (First Impressions!)

[@ZanderStephenson]

Absolutely bring chat on screen to the VOD! It adds a other layer to the community and feel of interaction even on VODs. Both a classic box down the right side, or even just a small chat in the top corner like how CaseOh does it would be great. 😊

[@matthewtang4860]

Thanks for playing system shock Ash! Love this game. Congrats on the kittens joining your fam

[@teeleebumblebee5341]

To answer your question, Ash, I personally like seeing these streams without the chat on. Like you said, it’s more immersive that way. Keep slaying it and thanks for putting out your content across platforms like this!

[@wiggyp1v255]

Without chat would be my preference

[@HansGrubr]

Not gonna lie I would have been happy to have a full stream about the kittens - a car in front of me today had a bumper sticker saying “Tell your cat I said pspspsps” made me smile. Chat offscreen pls, would also love a stream just of chat the first 40 minutes were quality 😂 listening while I work

[@spookyhatb0xghost]

Suuuper late to the convo, but my vote is for no chat during the game. Love the chat part before though. Also KITTENS OMG.

[@MercyThorn]

Can’t believe I did not know you had a new KZbin channel. Welp I am here now and immediately subscribed. Can’t wait to watch all of the backlog and hope I can catch you live someday! Wish you all the best and I hope that I can shuffle some money aside to give you a sub on twitch.

[@ardenwarwick1087]

Bless those beautiful kitties! As for the chat question. I'd prefer no. It intrusive and kind of unnecessary. Having watched most your vods, I've so far been fine with context clues about what you're reacting/responding to.

[@dreadpiraterobert27]

Chat not on screen during gameplay but before I don't mind. #vodsquad I watched your Silent Hill playthrough and thought you had watched the movie before. What did you think of the adaptation now that you've played it?

[@ashmillmanlives]

I still love it!! SILEENNTT HILLLL

[@mikkdc]

OMG! We have a cat called Loki who is almost identical to Ozzy, right down to the little tufts on the top of the ears! Both are so CUTE!

[@ashmillmanlives]

CERTIFIED BABY

[@Chishannicon]

Haven't gotten to the bit of the video with the gameplay yet, but in answer to your question, I would definitely prefer the chat to NOT be on screen for the VOD. Also, thanks for asking, and especially thank you for showing off the kittens!

[@RoryStarr]

I like chat in streams. Streams are a community activity and I like knowing what's happening in that community as it goes.

[@Jonathon_Hennessey]

I heard about this remake of System Shock. I think it's cool that they got the voice actress of S.H.O.D.A.N from the original game to reprise her role.

[@ashmillmanlives]

Oh man I didn't realise that. Brilliant lil factoid and such a cool homage to the original too!!

[@malcolmpeake8893]

I played System Shock when it came out way back in...Now I feel so old. lol.

[@uishido8845]

Same here. Still got the CD Rom version 😂

[@knowlzer]

My cat when she was new she was under my old bed for 3 days never stop meowing. Now she doesn't stop following me

[@harryhunt1778]

Another brilliant stream Ash looking forward to the next one

[@WulfCorbett]

I backed this when it was first made available. Having played the original (really, really badly...) when it was new, SHODAN is my all-time favourite game villain. I hope they do the original justice, I wasn't so sure about the voice from the Kickstarter updates.

[@ashmillmanlives]

She's such a good baddie. Very GLADoS!

[@WulfCorbett]

@@ashmillmanlives GLADoS is an also-ran more than a decade after SHODAN. First there was HAL, then there was SHODAN, then the rest...

[@desmondwhoa8779]

Hello ash, i had to tell you im adopting two gray tortoise shell kittens this week. Cant wait to get them.

[@ashmillmanlives]

YAAYYY I'm so happy for you!!! Torties are so cute 😭

[@malcolmpeake8893]

Adorable kitties!

[@picklerickaussiegaming]

#BogSquad I thought System Shock was a new game lol, it completely flew under my radar! Thanks for showing it off, and oh my goodness Ozzy and Gonzo are the cutest little fur-friends! Mascots? CHECK.

[@ashmillmanlives]

It's brand new on consoles but has been out on Steam for a little while (and is a remake of the 90s classic)! Totally enjoyable coming to it without knowing all that though for sure :) and the babies are so cute aren't they 😭

[@abiwesty]

Oh look, a brand new video I have never commented on before. Personally I prefer no chat box on screen, please let me keep what shred of dignity I have remaining when watching VODs. Next stream needs to hurry tf up:)

[@RhapsosProductions]

Tarantulas and those little cute jumping spiders get a pass. Everything else is terrifying but I never kill, as they are creatures and deserve life as much as anything else!

[@edwardpinto1544]

Hey Ash!!!! Loved the stream I prefer no chat during the stream. System shock is soooo good btw

[@Susan_chi]

Hello Ash, I also prefer seeing the streams without chat.

[@Alcogod]

No chat please. I don't like other people in the community and don't care what they think or say. I come to watch you Ash, because I find you entertaining. If it was up to me I would get rid of ALL notifications and shout outs.

[@davidmann9775]

Hi Ash, love your videos and format. Please keep screen as is, find chat distracting

[@GreyRonin92]

@5:00 Ash: I'm sorry, this is a terrible show.... Me: 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@JodieLaura]

I probably would prefer no chat, I feel like it would completely distract me from the gameplay

[@murtuzamadraswala1345]

Yay first to comment.. Had missed your online presence all the best to everything you do..

[@Sleeepy23]

I would like to see the Chat Replay on the KZbin VODs.

[@narlychun]

This ended abruptly?! Was that planned?

[@ashmillmanlives]

Omg no and you're the only person to mention it!! Must have had the end chopped off by the export!

[@outdun]

You didn't complete the puzzle by the way, if you look carefully at the endpiece nodes you can see that they can only be connected from one direction. That last noded needed to be connected from the top, you were trying to do it from the bottem. It's a shame too because you almost had it and got there fairly quickly compared to most people

[@FerdinandGraf-j6m]

Thumbnail Ash is hot

[@paulwoodford1984]

that self surgery scene is in Prometheus isn’t it.

[@ashmillmanlives]

You're actually so right

[@paulwoodford1984]

@@ashmillmanlives Admittedly i don’t recall much from covenant so there might have been another scene similar. But the prometheus scene was impressive. Imagine the pain! lol

[@TooMuchPac]

You happy deep down, ash?.....you seem distracted, maybe i can help?

[@gammawolf4955]

Hey Ash have you played grounded that's a cool game to play

[@ashmillmanlives]

I haven't! The big spiders scare me

[@reginaldh2079]

FTA

[@narlychun]

Without live chat please

[@bolstar6423]

Please, no chat on VOD. I find it very distracting.
