Stream of Coxsciousness - Rusty Lake Paradise Part 1

[@TheDarkFable]

For those who are curious I can basically break down the "overall" story of the Rusty Lake. I won't be directly spoiling the actual story but the stuff I'm gonna put makes the games a little less..intriguing as you then understand certain motifs in the games. Basically it all revolves around those cubes. Black Cubes are peoples "bad memories" while white cubes are the "good memories". When you extract a persons memories from their dead body their body "corrupts" like the black spooky person with white eyes. However these cubes, in combination with other materials (like different coloured cubes) can basically create an "elixir of life", which is sort of like an immortality potion?. The majority of the story is in the free mini-games called "Cube escape" and then the 3 paid for games give a lot more context. But the lake and cubes allow weird things to happen if you use them. The cubes alone are powerful artifacts as it were. This game is set much before the other games. Super extra spoiler so look away if you really don't want spoilers. When someone acquires this immortality, or at least a the temporary imperfect version, they become an animal person, where their head is an animal. However cause apart from once in the game, the elixirs are not "perfect" the effect eventually wears off. Additionally the imperfect elixir has a rather dangerous chance. Half the people who take it die instantly, some of them corrupting. The others become immortal animal people. Then there's the really trippy hard to explain stuff like how the lake sort of "hungers" for these memories and stuff. Oh and the plagues happening here are the Egyptian end time Plagues

[@elfbreath]

"A shrimp? That's the key to get into paradise?" SHRIMP! HEAVEN! NOW!!!

[@Ursarctos2]

We can’t keep doing this

[@tiagotavora7660]

DUDE! SHH!... don't wear it out

[@gajbooks]

Shrimp burger in paradise?

[@FroggyMosh]

There's something oddly relaxing to this. This gloomy, melancholic, almost familiar air, gives it an almost ASMR-like quality to me. I can meditate to this.

[@parkerdixon-word6295]

Oh yay, another Rusty Lake Game. I knew I needed a solid Acid Trip sometime soon, Perfect!

[@sunny1salvage]

This game is so entirely my vibe. Love how you always manage to play the spoopy titles! A gentle reminder to all that there are many youtubers for you that have memorized every puzzle on earth and grind games for perfect completion to go watch. We love Jesse taking his time to figure stuff out and being a good time during. (Also missing that one element in point and click games that takes you 7 years to figure out is like tradition from the flash era *Sighs in Gamershood room escapes*)

[@xeeprince7089]

I love watching Jesse's face during these types of games. It makes it so much richer of an experience

[@Plankensen]

When the brother went''It's pretty cold in Paradise'' I just imagined this entire game was actually set in Canada.

[@Snowmanse]

The grandmother is from the game Pit People going by Jesse's voice acting.

[@huntermcintosh8173]

Or she's the Green Cheetah.

[@jessecox]

I smell a crossover!!!

[@TwiztedSmoke]

Snowman Saves Eorzea WRONG NOOB!!! Someone doesnt listen to the cox n cendor podcast, or youd know that voice was a reference to the infamous Green Cheetah

[@TwiztedSmoke]

Hunter Mcintosh Someone doesnt listen to the cox n cendor podcast, or youd know that voice was a reference to the infamous Green Cheetah

[@A_Ereira]

Snowman Saves Eorzea It's the Green Cheetah.

[@MertcanAkardere]

Summary of Rusty Lake: " What? WHAT? *WHAT?!* "

[@Tosei0816]

During Mosquito Plague, I realized why everyone is hiding in boxes and shit. To hide from Crenfly. Daddy dearest didn't hide and get poked.

[@AGrumpyWitch]

THE OLD LADY VOICE OMG Jesse what the fuck dude I'm crying

[@Pepperpotk]

I love when Jesse plays games like this!

[@TheClarkKnightOfficial]

Can’t wait for part 2. This game was so much fun and I love to see others play as well

[@shibeloser7837]

Man, I cannot get enough of that grandma voice, it's amazing.

[@diversifiedplural6294]

Being raised in church and you immediately knowing the fate of the main character once his mother says he’s the first born

[@angelictigress]

Rusty lake turns out the most creative puzzle games. I got hooked playing them for free on congregate but rusty hotel just got too dark for me with Ms Pheasant's death...

[@ChaoSJino]

I have only played the free on-line games about this whole thing, and never watched a playthrough of the paid ones... Apparently, they have the same concepts and gameplay, and MAN are they strangely enticing. Thank you, Jesse, for doing this playthrough, ans I find the mix of you and this weirdness to be very pleasantly entertaining.

[@KnightsWithoutATable]

The last plague is the death of the first born...that is why you had to return, brother.

[@YukoValis]

Truth be told at the end of Rusty Lake Hotel it showed another character from the Cube Escape series. The person in the elevator was not the person you were playing as. The guy in the elevator is named Dale. Mr Owl thanked "Harvey" for the cigars.

[@Ursarctos2]

‘Vanderboom’ and now ‘Eilander’? I guess whoever makes these must be Dutch hahaha (Vanderboom translates to ‘of the tree’) (Eilander translates to ‘Islander’)

[@DorMinRS]

There's also the Vandermeer family in the Cube Escape games.

[@swiftlymurmurs]

Dor Min Ahh. "Of the lake". Of course

[@choicebarrelscrotes2732]

Yeah. Roots and Paradise are filling in some background necessary to show how these three families are connected.

[@AnnekeOosterink]

Yup, and Dale Vandermeer (protagonist of some of the games) phonetically sounds like part of the lake (Dale sounds like Dutch deel, which means part.) Super subtle if you speak Dutch :P

[@Lodrelhai]

I'm not sure if I'd rather see you play the rest of the Rusty Lake games yourself for the epic facial expressions, or have you bring in the SGS to play them all and hear all of you lose your minds.

[@loonlune]

Lodrelhai Oh my god that would be amazing

[@TwiztedSmoke]

Lodrelhai Lodrelhai well according to the beganing of this videos he says hes played the others ,yet after searching rusty lake jessie cox, the only thing to show up is this and rusty roots, so appearently that was a lie or he never did videos of them..... 😕😕😕

[@parkerdixon-word6295]

I think the vods of Rusty Lake Hotel never came to KZbin for Jesse. It's okay though, you can find Dodger's Playthrough of Hotel on KZbin, which is also super good.

[@Olhado256]

SGS would spend hours arguing over every puzzle.

[@marielunst1502]

He only uploaded a couple of days ago, in case you haven't seen it yet, here is Rusty Lake Hotel too. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWSbk2aPr7Olrqs

[@FOBIsMyNickName]

These games creep me out more than anything else played on spooky game squad

[@ZergofImportance]

I wonder if playing Jesse remember the final plague. Guess I'll have to wait to find out.

[@funniebones2183]

"You were always the weird one in the family." :/ Im just gonna go and feed some creature hearts to this wooden owl totem. Munch munch munch...

[@johnoneil9188]

Yep, this is the day Crendor turned into a mothman.

[@ChristmasCrustacean1]

Jesse's eastern european grandmother voice is the funniest thing

[@koalaray_sketches]

Using shrimp to get into paradise. All I thought was: Shrimp! Heaven! NOW!

[@gajbooks]

How does Jesse not immediately realize that this must end with the death of the firstborn, aka him.

[@Wednesday_blues]

Shrimp. Heaven. Now!

[@ayangigi6649]

Hamish PandaJam

[@majagunn1855]

Caught the stream, even funnier the second time XD

[@2averageguysgaming339]

Watching Jesse try to solve the vegetable puzzle gave me genuine pain.

[@SapphireDragon357]

Right? Trying to brute force a number puzzle... ugh.

[@christopherlouis2037]

That would never happen to Crendor. He has high immunity.

[@diversifiedplural6294]

I love your let’s plays but at the same time watching you play puzzle games can be infuriating

[@Princesspuppies77]

“I don’t have a fucking clue” I haven’t laughed that hard in a while. “This isn’t how teeth work.”

[@Nattehine]

Jesse's granny-voice is the best xD

[@FroggyMosh]

Hey, this VOD is nowhere to be found on Twitch. Would sell my left arm to see twitch chat with this.

[@majagunn1855]

Love the granny voice!

[@TwiztedSmoke]

Someone doesnt listen to the cox n cendor podcast, or youd know that voice was a reference to the infamous Green Cheetah

[@evertime123]

Absolutely insane

[@MRDLT00]

40:49 Yeah you should feel bad there Jesse. XD

[@bjmalone5309]

Every time jesse does the granny voice I crack up. Especially the gibberish. It kills me lol

[@thewalrusx]

Hey Jesse, are you and Duges gonna finish "the letter"?

[@Nuggington]

credit2team in case you didnt know theyve been very slowly streaming it on dodgers twitch channel, you can watch the vods on her twitch

[@thewalrusx]

i said FINISH, not start, its been weeks dude, pay attention

[@Nuggington]

credit2team hence why i said in case you didnt know, dont be a dick dude when I was trying to help, and try not to act so entitled, they'll finish it when they have the time to

[@TwiztedSmoke]

More face cam? I say YES👍👍👍👍

[@StalePasta]

SHRIMP HEAVEN NOW!

[@Aoderic]

The owls are not what they seem.

[@Graavigala85]

i dont know why i watched this cause this just caused so much rage

[@nnatit]

Graavigala85 because Jesse causes love in your heart. And your pants :^)

[@Graavigala85]

Well that it does!

[@Wisegirl130]

i dont really understand the rusty lake series, its so surreal

[@YoWhatsUpFellas]

I like watching these at night and fully knowing my sanity is fucked. Speaking of sanity, I need to go take my meds

[@sunaosatsubatsu2518]

God that title screen was amazingly loud. Wtf

[@TwiztedSmoke]

Sunao Satsubatsu THE VIEWERS ARE NOW DEFF

[@mst3kharris]

43:56 - It’s Beelzebro!

[@pedrostormrage]

1:55:44 Killed by an icicle? It's like Until Dawn up in here O.o

[@darkmerrygoround]

the hand at 2:01:05 just flipped us off!

[@galadrina123]

Jesse, we need our brains to melt, so please do the other games from the series! :)

[@christinaMattsson]

I love this! More please. :)

[@TheHmuma]

I got stuck on the ice one too . It needs reworking

[@matthewbrown900]

DO SHRIMP EAT WORM? SHRIMP ON MAN?

[@NovaGirl8]

Yay another puzzle game

[@howardhavardramberg333]

That’s fucking right.

[@KyleCorbeau]

1:51:13 I love you Jesse but god damn did it take you _forever_ to go to the left. And it's not a cheap puzzle, the arrow is literally only there when there's something significant to be found. I'm genuinely amazed you never went to that side before that point.

[@AwkwardSmileMeme]

Glad you uploaded this I saw the stream but had to leave early :(

[@123mickymouse123]

I'm assuming the plagues are about the seven disasters Moses wrought onto Egypt in the Old Testament.

[@monoahlly]

yup. and i have a guess what the end of the game will be based on the last plague...

[@Dr_Ragon]

10 plagues, not 7.

[@123mickymouse123]

Gosh it's been long since I read the bible, but you are entirely correct.

[@howardhavardramberg333]

what a fucking douchebag Moses was

[@nnatit]

Håvard Ramberg Yeah he was a cock

[@psydocthepsyduck8382]

The green cheetah is back!!!

[@Exo_Scout]

1:14:02 "well, that shit was weird," quite literally

[@FIREGOD333]

the black cube is from the cube escape series by the same devs. u gonna play the cube series jesse? the clock is also from that i think

[@morningdivabeam]

I was just going to suggest this to any youtuber who would listen and here it is! This is best streamed since there are no hints. Chat may or may not help in some of the puzzles. XD

[@neolithiumproduction]

Is it sad that I laughed hard when the Goat came up from drinking blood and had a leech stuck to its tongue? xD

[@FIREGOD333]

are those leaves from the land before time?

[@Luxer1996]

Here's the thing. The last plague is the death of the firstborn sons. As I understand it, main character's gonna die.

[@KazukiHTT]

Am I losing it or does the song played @25:00 go (# of q notes) 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 1, 2. Yet, Jesse did 2, 1, 2, 1, 1, 2 and it cleared it.

[@DorMinRS]

He put in a 1 before he replayed it so the game interpreted it as being the right string.

[@kurrito8916]

Can someone explain the puzzle at 1:03:00

[@benallen8752]

you use the vegetables to fill in the amount it wants on the sides of the grid. The 1 on the left means have exactly 1 space filled across from this point, the 2 on the top means have exactly 2 spots filled down this column

[@Esperflame]

@Jesse Cox So is grandma Yondu Udonta in disguise? He really is Mary Poppins!

[@TooLateForIeago]

Just like in real life, Brother Crendor just gets weirder and weirder.

[@Big-Timbo]

this game screams esoteric occultism

[@3p1Ch1LD]

I fucking lost it when she hit herself in the face with the flyswatter

[@MrSamtrix]

Jesse, you need to try Darkwod. I have a feeling you, an we the viewers would enjoy it very much.

[@jasperh6618]

Oh, i've played this at an indie convention before :3

[@MJ-zx7hn]

Did Jesse play Rusty Lake Hotel? I can't find it anywhere.

[@TwiztedSmoke]

Matthew Walkup Lodrelhai well according to the beganing of this videos he says jes played the others ,yet after searching rusty lake jessie cox, the only thing to show up is this and rusty roots, so either it was a lie or he never did a video of them

[@GmodPlusWoW]

I have the strangest feeling that these black cubes are, in fact, blackboxes of some description. They seem to convey information that they store, potentially memories? ...and the spectre said "Please bring my memories to the lake". This is getting to seem a lot like Roots, where we were rebuilding a person from the bodyparts of their descendants- OH SHIT. While the family contributed to the body, is the family in Paradise contributing MEMORIES to the deceased?!

[@DorMinRS]

Yeah the black cubes are extracted memories, you really need to play the Cube Escape games to understand the series properly.

[@francisbakininthekitchen2441]

I loooove

[@InsanityPlusOne]

1 hour in you really see why Jesse wasn't teaching math.

[@lookingwestward1527]

It’s the Green Cheetah!

[@feoleb]

year of a million subscribers

[@Glitchyetiad]

15:04 the box is probably an SCP

[@GarfunkelCarpBurg]

SHRIMP. HEAVEN. NOW!

[@majagunn1855]

Amazeballs!

[@Pienimusta]

Wicker Man - Island edition.

[@CaroGo]

5:33 SHRIMP! HEAVEN! NOW!!!

[@DarkWickedGamer]

Can someone at 6:02 make a soundboard of Jesse's grandmother sound/voice? :)

[@Sith9890]

But the real question is will we ever get that Ignis FFXV DLC?

[@mirusasaki]

Looks like my lake's getting rusty, Jesse. Help me water it.

[@mikurunrunrun]

Oh my Gourd.

[@JoshCeec]

It's unbelievable how bad someone can be at this kind of stuff.

[@HarlequinHeart16]

This game is hilarious

[@TwiztedSmoke]

Wow apparently like 60% of viewers dont listen to the cox n cendor podcast, or youd all know that voice of the Granny was a reference to the infamous Green Cheetah

[@TheSpeep]

the narrator sounds so much like a friend of mine °-° game hasnt even started and its creeping me out

[@UchihaKat]

"It's moon logic" he says about the thing he logic'd out with no help...

[@spartacus5192]

................this game is weird, but also is goat bacon a thing? 1:00:44

[@DeathnoteBB]

SPARTACUS 51 Bacon is just thinly sliced pig meat, so probably? I'm not sure

[@TheParadisis]

SPARTACUS 51 Turkey bacon and iirc chicken bacon exist, so maybe it's possible?

[@DysnomiaATX]

A google search confirms it. It's a thing. I want some, but I don't know why...

[@huntermcintosh8173]

Yes, many things can be baconed www.reddit.com/r/Charcuterie/comments/3dxjd1/goat_bacon/

[@howardhavardramberg333]

Human bacon also exist?

[@kyrisgaming]

RUSTY LAAAAKE

[@Yenastuundepaspris55]

( 48:26 ) Jesse... You clearly don't understand what **cheating** means. -_-

[@Markis2bi4]

Where does one begin to watch Jesse play the earliest Rusty Lake game?

[@permeus2nd]

14:10 and this is why i think (some) LP are there own works separate from the game been played Jesse's face here is far better than this game, and thats why im here for Jesse's reactions not the game (though in this games case i may get it, just like i did for Rumu and Gorogoa, jesse sold me them games by highlighting them)

[@EctoSage]

Jesus it was painful waiting for Jesse to find more clay. Why wouldn't you see if one could get more while at the clay source the first time. Edit: Holy crap, the bucket and milk is way worse.

[@KaneSLupus]

Sage!

[@howardhavardramberg333]

It’s fun to watch

[@parkerdixon-word6295]

Dude, if you're watching these videos to see people be good at this game, you gotta go elsewhere. Watching Jesse or Dodger get things wrong and *wrong* and *wrong* over and over again is sorta the point. It's a feature, not a bug, and you gotta just be chill with that. It's the price of entry.

[@scared2209]

Yes. I only watched cause he had more views than everyone else and it was just painful watching him do a few of these puzzles. He just clicks everything except what he had to click xD or he doesn't understand until a long, long time after. He seems fun if I ain't looking for a puzzle game, but wow puzzles are not his fortè and I've never wanted to be able to be able to yell at a KZbinr so much before.
