Weirdest Games Ever - Dog's Life

With something of a cult following, Dog's Life is a divisive game. One thing's for sure though; whether you think this is a dog's dinner or the dog's unmentionables, there's no denying it's one heck of a weird experience.
Thank you to PanelHopper and Joe C for sending us this game!

Hey, I did the GDQ run and hold the record too. Thanks for the shoutouts, I still love this game in some weird way. It just has this ability to ground me in a certain way. Glad you all seem to enjoy it too!

[@FourthStar]

I learned about this game from your run at GDQ; it was a blast! 😄

[@cooparchive7857]

​​@4thStar I was like you I did learn it from gdq

[@mCreecher91]

Love your channel, man!

[@bloodywolf9317]

One of my fave gdq runs, sometines rewatch it when i need a cheer up

[@TrashbashMan]

Petition to change the "Useless Third Party" moniker to "Backseat Gamer"

[@AlmightyPolarBear]

How about they have to dress in an outfit related to the game too?

[@darthboxOriginal]

Useless Third Party is an ancient and storied role with huge responsibilities

[@Thepopcornator]

Just FYI, the texture glitch with his fur is due to your emulation--the OG game doesn't do that, from my recollection from when I was a kid.

[@Thepopcornator]

@@RyanConnell5150 Ah, missed that line. Cheers!

[@muccmaster]

Yeah I was going to say the only time I've ever seen an issue like that is with bad emulation.

[@sirprintalot]

Yeah, they mentioned it around the time they mentioned the BP oil spill.

[@Roadent1241]

Correct. My PS2/3 never did it but as soon as I was forced to use it on my laptop with an emulator (because PS3 stopped playing PS2, and I didn't have a physical 2 anymore) it started doing that texture thing.

[@misterblakk3690]

"A normal dog would run home at that point" *Dog immediately goes home* ...accurate game, what can I say.

[@dargoid]

Oh my God this game was THE SHIT (literally, love the shitting mechanics) back when I was a kid.

[@theocan]

I actually adored this game as a kid.. some of the music is still stuck in my head, like the ski resort track.. It was better than it had any right to be.

[@johns9478]

I remember playing the demo for this as a kid and thinking it was fun. Never got the full game though.

[@TheMediocreCyclist]

Same here. I don't even think I ever saw it for sale!

[@KaishaLouise]

I still have my copy from when i was a kid! honestly loved it so much!

[@pretzel6629]

@@KaishaLouise how did that ending sit with you?

[@HunterAtheist]

It's as if the dog is being hydro dipped as you walk. Each texture layers up until it is completely black. Very interesting emulation glitch.

[@insignificantaftermathPROJECTS]

If I stumbled upon this game back in the day, I'm positive it would have been that buffer game to chill out to between playing serious games or bingeworthy games. Seems like a cute and chilled out game to smile to.

[@joshnightmarexx]

I remember playing this when I was like 11 thinking "this is next level"

[@josephn1000]

I 100% completed this game several times. This is making me want to go back and play it again 😂 I did find it again recently a couple of months ago.

[@DoomguardKino]

Ashton's story of teaching her cats how to cook is the most wholesome thing.

[@alexandramacey9740]

One of my all time favourite childhood games… wow I was a messed up kid

[@kenpetrini1461]

You and me both 😂😂

[@EnoughInternet4Today]

Same same lmao. First time I played it, I got it when I rented a big stack of games from a Cashwise store in a small town LOL had no idea whatsoever what I was in store for

[@JanTichy]

I always took a shit on front glass of cars or just try to bark with shit in my mouth. Good times.

[@twiddless]

This game is so good, childhood vibes

[@D00dlebugInc]

This is some of the best editing we've had on this channel 🤣 incredible

[@callumarmitage4828]

Whoever did the editing on this is top tier. Supreme work

[@tenby3753]

ok, i finally caved, logged into facebook for the first time in two years, clicked the follow button on your page and logged out again BUT only because this video was so good plus I really want James Jenkins to get paid a large, healthy paycheck with benefits like dental and perhaps a gym membership discount

[@haikovanderleeuw9945]

I remember loving this game and actually finishing it! Needs a remake!

[@albertodemo658]

I love this game. Brought me so much happiness as a child

[@Crayolapup]

I feel special. Lol. I rented this game back in 2004 from blockbuster because I was an obnoxious little 9 year old girl that loved Dogs. The memories make me sad. I remember playing this game on a snow day off from school back in 2004. My Brother pretended to try to cook our dog at the time as a joke. When he put her down, she started limping and we both got scared. She turned out to be fine. Lol. Then later that day my friends came over and we played all day. We played school, walked over to the Deli for some snacks, and played in the snow. I miss my dog and my childhood.

[@isthislegs5934]

The dog farting was a bit much for me

[@ManuMora199]

18:50 perfectly coordinated "eeem"

[@owenjohnson138]

This was one of my favourite games when I was a young boy

[@AnthroFox99]

🎵When i was a young boy, my father took me into the city to... buy a strange video game.🎵 (sorry couldn't help myself.)

[@Nbflowers1989]

20:10 Damn that look Ashton gave Peter lmao.

[@natiloustaunau5334]

You are right about the cult that exists around this game. We love Dogs Life and we love to explain it to people who don't know anything about it.

[@magpiepie7051]

Please do a full play-thru of this. I love and miss this game

[@weberman173]

The fact this game is Developed by Frontier Developments is.. strangly cathartic? Given the current state of their "Main Product" elite dangerous them having a weirdest game from like.. the mid 2000s is just somehow fiting? I know that This is emulation related most likely but the fact this game also has camera issues, weird controlls, and Shadow related problems is SO cathartic to me

[@etowngti]

As the owner of two chihuahuas I can confirm that they run JUST like the one in this game

[@ComXDude]

A game that opens with a couple of dogs getting straight up PETA'd. We're in for a fun ride.

[@Nbflowers1989]

I actually really enjoyed how the chihuahua ran haha.

[@davidschofield345]

I do love the addition of the “useless third party” select screen

[@gfear24]

I 100% agree with Ashton. This is worse than the Playboy Game.

[@Nbflowers1989]

This series seems like whoever does edits these videos (jAmEs JeNkInS?!) really enjoys the work. Lot of fun edits.

[@Mintylight]

"I took a poo in my mouth". I cried laughing.

[@farcry223]

This game is a fever dream and absolutely absurd.

[@mrifor87]

At first glance the cover art looks like it says dogs UFC. Now that would be a weird game.

[@Alucard-A-La-Carte]

Every single line in this horrorshow is spoken like it's implying something sinister.

[@Dwagginz]

I am a grown adult (well apparently) but I found myself crying with laughter when the poop got picked up despite the protests.

[@thabozzofficial]

Loved this as a kid! Didn't have those tech issues from what I remember.

[@Kanden95]

I remember playing the demo for this on the Ps2 back in the day. I always wanted to buy it but never got a chance to do so

[@johns9478]

Same here bro. Honestly tempted to try to find it now as an adult.

[@DeadlyFredXXX]

That chair back blends in with Aston's shoulders and makes her look absolutely jacked

[@GazJones1987]

Gramps used to say really suggestive things in his sleep 😂

[@Sagninaw]

It's a shame they didn't just play the trauma inducing ending

[@cooktheant]

Immediately races back to watch 3D Pets after this.

[@ShowdeQuetzal]

Whoever made this game, you can tell they have fun doing it

[@lutfimakarim8258]

For your next weirdest game ever, may I suggest Mr Musquito on the ps2?

[@Lawlsomedude]

Ben: Pick up? No! Ashton: No, please. Please? Peter: *kubrick stare*

[@F13Helm]

If you haven't already, also check out the "talk" section of the wikipedia page. It is a wild, confusing ride.

[@marcusnelson7026]

17:32 This game is incredible.

[@eddiehimself]

Anyone notice how that SUV is right-hand drive even though it's supposed to be in America lol.

[@Cosmic_Gorilla]

13:12 lmao, was that Sour Boy?

[@theeverelusivemodernemoguy]

That guitarist is just straight up The Edge from U2 in looks.

[@shaneethan9504]

Peter's voice sounds like the dude from this weird movie I was watching last night I Am Mortal. Maybe he was the voice behind that character Logos.

[@MrFooFighter13]

The game is surprisingly well rounded. I was going to rip on Frontier Devleopments who made Elite Dangerous, also making this... But it's a good effort imo 😅

[@munkeyweb]

@06:20 That man with the deeper voice, he sounds like the voice that says 'The Scarecrow walks at Midnight" from the game "Goosebumps: Escape from Horrorland"

[@OfficialFingazMC]

If I had that cesspool that is Facebook I would like you on there boys OR girls. Happily (for me) I haven't used it for many years...

[@kfc21194]

I remember when this one came in on Post Some Tat and getting really excited because I remember playing this game! I'm glad you're finally playing it, I can't wait to see if this game is what I remember (which is to say, weird!)

[@egg4666]

Love the "YOU DIED" shirt lol

[@camrsr5463]

Im getting in the swing of these Post Edit extravaganzas! well done

[@huleeyaxerssius7]

Had played this a bit myself back when & my brother had as well. Was the full version, a decent time it was too when we played it will say. Still remember that product placement for the pal dogfood well too.

[@wackojacko1312]

Some of the voices were so ridiculous I genuinely thought you might have done your own voice over at times.

[@gnats32]

Guys, have you ever watched your videos back at 0.75 to 0.5 playback speed? Worth the experience.

[@jimmyv3170]

I've known about this game but didn't know you could use the dog to throw his own shit at people with his mouth.hahahahaha Definitely playing now.

[@PanelHopper]

That’s the best glitch I’ve ever seen in this game! Amazing!

[@sos_legio_primus9177]

the dude in the car looks like Yogscast Pyrion

[@allercon]

That “woooowww” animation! Haha!

[@Megaspartan23]

Frontier are also responsible for making Elite Dangerous.

[@DudeMcGuybro]

I remember getting to the snow resort and hitting a hard point, and never ended up completing the game. I don't know if I was just a dumb kid, or the game was genuinely hard to figure out. I think it was a bit of both.

[@rhysjackson2597]

The memories!!!!!!! Man this was my childhood!

[@thochaos13]

I enjoyed the demo when it came out, but it was enough for me. I also remember this game needing specific settings for some emulators to get running correctly.

[@troyt.6396]

Is that Max Headroom on the right there? (James)

[@jentzi23]

I had this game! I loved it, it was simple and silly. I lent it to a friend's kid and never seen it since. I hope they liked it atleast.

[@theredshadow401]

Never noticed until now that Jake sort of looks like Xavier: Renegade Angel. 😂

[@jman3267]

This game may be pretty terrible but it has music by legendary composer Alistair Lindsay of Rollercoaster Tycoon and Rimworld fame.

[@badca52]

I cannot stop laughing at the texture failure on the dog!!

[@wingedpikpik1787]

I believe it's supposed to be dirt effect.

[@domi2298]

It's a glitch from the emulator. It's not in the ps2 version

[@joywilson4668]

Why is the dog poop macanic a thing?

[@ryanwillson2751]

That splosh sound... That's the one from Terror's Realm...

[@cooktheant]

I really hope Ashton gets to go in the Dog's Life hot air balloon. Let it happen.

[@liamwynne566]

Editing of this episode is 👌

[@peggyfillmore1971]

Ooooh dogs life I picked that up used..years ago and played it...it was decent...I'd love to buy it and play it again

[@AnthroFox99]

I seen some messed up emu issues. But this is a new one. The nightmare fuel.

[@chrisrice1807]

Used to play this back in the day.

[@KelleyWells1982]

I never seen a channel before it’s really cool 😎

I recently added this game to my collection.

I feel like Peter is secretly loving this game and will defo go back and 100% it

Not watched the vid yet but i remember being young and trying to play basketball at the barn on this, weird memory triggered. thanks I guess aahaha

Hot Fresh Science Fact ♨️ One of the voices for Jake is Mitsuo Iwata, who also voiced Kaneda in ‘Akira’ ☢️

[@edb2863]

I love this game. It's not perfect, could have done with more polish for sure, but it's still fun

[@pippinlatham4857]

I read this as meaning the polish language, and took a minute wondering how that would help the game.

@@pippinlatham4857 why not both?

[@domi2298]

The texture issue is a glitch caused by the emulator, it's not present in the ps2 version 😂

I bought this game on the strength it was created by David Braben, co creator of Elite, one of the greatest games ever made

[@CaitlynMellark101]

I remember having this game as a kid and I was INVESTED in it for no damn reason

[@MrCamara47]

I'm positive there has to be a far more interesting video featuring Ashton and two men on the internet

I loved this game as a kid. It was weird, even to a 9 year old.

[@chrisdownsouth4074]

I used to love this game, once you got past the first couple missions it became a better game. Was funny to see it again tho aha

Never heard of this game, but it's got dogs in it so I am interested!
