Bumbling Through The Ring: Terror's Realm p.1

[@TheGamedragon96]

THE RING! TERROR'S REALM "Nickelodeon Slime sound"

[@CaptainFawfulll]

I rewatch this series every year. One episode a day during the last two weeks of October. That splort sound effect is like the nostalgic embrace of an old friend.

[@feedergoldfish]

1.5 minutes after the murder, "I'm still alive. I'll work for this company without you, Robert. I shouldn't mourn your death forever."

[@GhostSilk]

I like Meg as a character because her natural response to hearing that she's going to die in seven days is "You have got to be kidding!". I can respect that sort of attitude.

[@FluffyDragon]

I hate when coworkers play those 'suck me into an alternate horror dimension' pranks on me

[@FromBeyondTheGrave1]

Shut up, Meg.

[@parsnippings]

Jack running into the scene straight from his night class at the Tommy Wiseau School of Line Delivery

[@Roobarb93]

Oh hai Sadoko

[@DeconTheed92]

4:02 for The Blessed Sound of SGF’s Genuine Laughter

[@lilybergamo]

man, that squish menu sound, glorious

[@Zeph101theoriginal]

Last time I heard that sound effect was killing bugs in Secret of Evermore.

[@thechosenundead]

Sounds like something from 90s Nickelodeon cartoons

[@DeconTheed92]

The menu squish sound and ‘YOU OK LADY?’ are all classic, don’t get me wrong, but honestly, my favourite thing in that intro? Giving the guy voiced by a posh white English geezer the line “LIKE HEY MAN, WHAT’S HAP’NIN HERE?” Stroke of fucking genius right there, I think you’ll agree.

[@terracannon876]

SGF's laugh at the beginning was magical. Looking forward to a wonderful October.

[@FhtagnCthulhu]

Rewatching this for the third time because I have no memory of what happens in this game somehow. All I remember is the music.

[@slllk9363]

I heard it so much that I grew to enjoy it. Stockholm syndrome?

[@pasqua322]

Games that kill you after you play them were the real reason on why xblig got shut down.

[@booties012345]

this is amazing. the sound effects and impish grin on our protag really set the horror mood like nothing else

[@GiddeonFox]

I'm really enjoying all these cameos by your really nice looking wooden table

[@dopplegangerdavid]

Hey! Don't make fun. That wooden table still has more energy than SuperGreatFriend.

[@MrGeremyTibbles]

... ... YOU OKAY, LADY?

[@ffffffffROTHY]

Like, hey man, what's happening here?

[@lilybergamo]

SGF laugh is priceless

[@slllk9363]

This is my favorite SGF LP

[@thefarglecaptain]

The fact that I can hear the disc drive in SGF's Dreamcast in the background through this whole thing just makes it even better. :)

[@PuritySin]

It looks like the characters were made out of clay and that they paid the cheapest voice actors possible. This is going to be a special Halloween treat!

[@Shenaldrac]

I mean, you could say the same for Laser Lords and that turned out to be a great game.

[@LordNagash]

Wow, don't compare the masterpiece of voice acting that was Laser Lords to this.... thing

[@Shenaldrac]

Oh Laser Lords was fucking amazing, don't get me wrong. I was more trying to say that the original comment could also have been applied to Laser Lords, given that it used actual clay models and seemed to have fairly cheap (though deliciously hammy) voice acting.

[@BastionProd]

5:16 Robert hangs up the phone, but the receiver goes missing I guess? 6:13 I liked the detail that Meg almost runs over a lady crossing the street, when she pulls to park. But then you get that awfull running animation of the police officer and all goes downhill from that point.

[@laharlxyz]

for the computer virus stuff, I recommend skimming through the synopsis for the third The Ring book on Wikipedia. its... something for sure.

[@phantomninja6079]

Cool beans... I sure would hate to get human cancer.

[@AzzRushman]

That was some interesting reading i must say.

[@UltimateCarl]

Wow, that is... Huh. Yeeeeah. I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt, though, since it had to cross a language barrier, then was summarized (by someone who doesn't appear to be a very good writer, at that), then likely edited by more than one completely different people on top.

[@Achoohorsey]

Man, the book series started out really good and then went downhill really fast. Like the author ran out of ideas or got too cocky, I’m not sure.

[@z-beeblebrox]

When that guy is in the middle of dying and he mutters under his breath, "ohno. itshappening." I knew, then and there, you'd stumbled across a masterpiece SGF

[@BDR198524]

I unironically enjoy the office theme. I suggest you learn to love it too because... well, you'll be hearing it a lot.

[@RealMcoy1000]

My growing familiarity with SGF's table is disconcerting

[@DisinformationAgent]

Oh man ever since the early days of YT this game has got teased by every game reviewer I followed. Only for them to get the squish at the title screen and intro, walk around in the office for awhile then give up. If this is gunna be an entire LP I can finally put this game to rest.

[@chrysanth.5700]

Really? I suppose I have just not followed the right people because I have never played this before or even heard of it. To think I am so ignorant of the classics on the Dreamcast saddens me, but man. Man.

[@Himiko_Void]

I thought the game looked familiar and then the moment the office theme played I immediately realised you're right. This was teased so many times that I always wanted to see this to completion. I'm excited.

[@morganj426]

These are NEW LOWS in voice acting. I love this. Thank you, sgf

[@ElvenRaptor]

I've never heard SGF laugh and lose his composure so much.

[@ErrEff]

This is some world-class localization. You could always count on Infogrames (Now Atari) to do a good job.

[@Reecer77]

Look, they published Roller Coaster Tycoon. I'm pretty sure all of their failures since can be absolved by that.

[@elinfini]

[@GreatKawaiiGod]

So I guess Sadako really wants to make a GANTS team to kill aliens to save the world this time around? I mean that's what it looks like

[@allirenee3014]

“This is an interesting soundtrack don’t know how I’m supposed to feel” I’m in tears man I can’t stop laughing at the time you were slightly irritated already.

[@hazyhillsblue]

Loop, the third novel in the Ring Cycle, involves virtual reality, parents dying from cancer, reincarnation and a weird scene involving a son looking at his dad's semen. Read Ring and Spiral. Then stop.

[@SaladofStones]

Wasn't Loop the author's desperate attempt to kill the series off, hannibal style?

[@judyhopps9380]

The book series goes even weirder after that. It's strange but I find where as American novels and media can aim to simplify things too much for the audience, Japanese fiction and movies can go the complete opposite and be too convoluted, not bothering to filter or edit ideas.

[@AeolisticFury]

If he died sitting down in his office how did his body end up at his house? #spooked

[@SnapImaX]

Me at 0:00 : pff how bad could it be? Me at 3:30 : oh boy

[@Klarden]

Glad you're playing [RING]. Also funny how your right off the bat guess the twist of the third book (I don't remember if it's a twist in this game or not), where the events of previous books are The Matrix, because something something copy of the genome in the computer code oh no but which is the real world now aaaaagh and stuff. Japanese The Ring 2 ignores the books, but Rasen follows closer to the book plot (and everyone hated it, for a good reason).

[@diegomachado8867]

Because I am sure everyone is wondering, her car is a first gen ford focus.

[@ennui_u9352]

I absolutely adore how the hook, the line that the developers thought would best end their attract movie on before the title drop is "Yeah, I think we're just gonna have to do it that way" Truly riveting stuff, absolutely intense

[@soakthemilkman]

RedundantAdjectiveAcquaintance is killing me. I cant take such high quality content in such rapid succession.

[@sweethater8558]

I haven't smiled this hard since Illbleed.

[@sweethater8558]

A year later and this still makes me smile like crazy.

[@sweethater8558]

I guess this has become a yearly thing for me. That intro still gets me every time.

[@PaladinusSP]

The books go full Matrix, and apparently the movies (and the first couple of books) were inside of a very accurate simulation, which explains how this VHS can even exist. And in later books the virus makes it into the real world somehow. It's bizarre.

[@WolfShirtTheBand]

yeah that series goes way off the rails way fast

[@DrHackmoff]

i thought it was a psychic smallpox virus produced by a hermaphrodite ,. totally sounds like logic to me

[@zeratulcraft]

I thought I hadn't watched this one but then the music at 9:15 started and OH YEAH Oh well, totally worth a rewatch.

[@ajlikins]

All of the other things aside, i think Meg's model actually looks really cute. Looking forward to the rest of this!

[@ItDoesntMatterReally]

My initial reaction? "Huh, Meg looks a little like Dot Matrix from 'Reboot' in the face" AND THEN SHE WENT INTO A VIDEO GAME!

[@dooptown]

i wonder if when they were saying [RING] they were just saying "bracket RING bracket"

[@e-knockpower7808]

dooptown You'd have to say "square bracket ring square bracket" to avoid confusion.

[@ennui_u9352]

This is just like that movie. The one with all them rings.

[@yurimegumi1809]

"I'll work for this company without you, Robert!" I'm sure its what he would have wanted

[@TheAdmiral14]

"I'll work for this company." Meg, the CDC is not a company. I know you're Robert's girlfriend and all, but, are you SURE you're qualified for this?

[@al145]

I did naht kill him, i did naahht... whats happen? Oh hi meg!

[@SnapImaX]

The similarity is so uncanny, it might just be the creepiest thing in the game

[@SparkHazard]

I am so glad you're going into this blind. This game is something. It is definitely a thing.

[@dametsuki]

I can't stop laughing. Thanks, SGF! I needed this!

[@ebrules]

QUACK QUACK *SPLOTCH* If anyone said that to me and said "That's the sound effects to a horror game's menu" I wouldn't believe them.

[@mcid111]

I kinda like the 'real world' music track, sounds like it should be playing in a steampunk-esque jRPG slum setting though

[@SaintGroyer]

Oh my gawddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd. This game is magical. I don't even think cheap Steam horror games can meet this quality.

[@UltimateCarl]

5:30 Auditioning for The Mystery of the Druids box art.

[@JesusKristov]

Am I alone in thinking the animation is surprisingly well done? Like the character modelling is hideous and the voice acting is bad even for Dreamcast, and the sound mixing is shiiiiiiiithouse but the expressions and movements are all really fluid and nicely performed (even when they don't fit what's happening) Also do I hear the sound of the Dreamcast disc drive whirring away from time to time in this video?

[@xombiegriffin]

IS HAPENIN This game is an absolute treat.

[@GreenGimmick]

SuperGreatFriend you are too good to us

[@yourcommander3412]

07:07 gets me every time. "....... you okay lady?"

[@kuronos23]

Oh man I'm gonna enjoy this. I remember playing it back in the day and the intro made me laugh so hard I couldn't breathe. I hope you like that music by the way.

[@Big_Boi_Official]

The Brit just hops in everyone’s line and speaks like a guy that just learned what improv is. I love him

[@trumpwonhereistheevidenced4390]

Oh it is _such_ a good idea to mix live action and _these particular_ 3D character models, Mmmm. Beaufitul.

[@MetalSocks]

Oh my god those faces This gonna be good.

[@inOutZoom]

Audio is a top notch. Voices, sfx, music.... Beautiful...

[@Haitch_Kay]

There's a pretty notable quote from Matthew Perry's character Benny in Fallout: New Vegas that applies pretty well to this game: "What in the goddamn?"

[@saraczwei6850]

This feels like a David Cage game.

[@thepickles8833]

Anything to avoid Omikron...

[@roecocoa]

Three minutes in and we can already tell it's The Room of video games.

WOW. SLOW DOWN SGF. I was still prepping my body after video you posted 10 minutes ago.

[@JeedyJay]

Much like NightCry, The Ring: Terror's Realm doesn't care if you're ready.

[@skeletonwizard708]

"Camera will see what the player sees"? Is it possible for a video game camera to see something other than what we see?

[@SuperSubmachinegun]

IGNs menu sounds effect of the year 2001 goes to SKWISH

[@Jack_Slate]

12:00 His face was distorted long before he died. Also, Meg looks like the Joker.

[@siugbait]

I wanna see this "game within a game" horror concept implemented with VR in mind. I'm imagining a something like P.T. wrapped around a more traditional survival horror, with lines blurring between the two as you progress.

[@ImpendingRiot83]

Jack sounds like a character from Sheep in the Big City or something.

[@KnowbysCabin]

Very much looking forward to this series.

[@Jokoko2828]

I will say I like the face models in this game considering what era it's from.

[@tim.dedopulos]

Holy shit. I was going to say that this was utter drivel, but honestly that's offensive to utter drivel. Just think. Some poor bastards were actually made to crap this out into the world. How marvellous!

[@Hedoro_Kaibyo]

the cartoon tomato splat noise for this game always stuck with me, this game truely is something special.

[@MrDumbRodent]

You know, the Ring Faces would make for really effective horror enemies if you're really going to make a survival horror game based on The Ring. Those distorted nightmare rictuses would be pretty tense to be hunted by. I realize this game was before the movie, just kind of... wondering if things might have been different if it had come out a few years later.

[@laughingboytibb]

Anybody who didn't like this game is absolutely mister thickhead!

[@0Bennyman]

7:14 onward is just Voice Acting Gold. Tommy would be proud.

[@ITweeaboo]

Hey supergreat friend, just to give you some knowledge: In the movies, the way the main characters in the book Risen survive is by spreading the virus through other media, in the book it specifies video games, so this could be considered a side story of that, within the virtual world of the book. Cause 99% of the ring story takes place in a virtual world.

[@vaultt309]

This made me so happy today!

[@MorshTalon]

You know sometimes I feel like that "the true horror is the quality of this product" joke is overdone but... Man... Man...

[@Achoohorsey]

Something that bothers me about that cutscene when they remove Robert’s body is that she lifts the sheet off of Robert’s face like the sheet was split at the neck, where it was strapped to his body

This is delightfully silly; I'm definitely looking forward to seeing what the game has in store for us.

[@Jacked_Dude_Loves_Wheyfus]

What is that intro teaser music at 2:49 seriously what mood is the game setting, what am I supposed to feel with this music!? Nothing in this game makes sense....
