Favorite main characters

Welcome to plug in for Player 4, where you the viewer are the

player 4. And today I'm here with whoever

these guys are. You forgot us.

It's a short term memory loss coming in from last week.

He can only remember. Him Bros 30, he's already got on

he. Can only remember his name.

Yeah, he can only remember his name.

Such a shame. He doesn't even remember his

name. It's only fine dining and

breathing fine. What is your name?

My name. Brandon.

Brandon, what do you do, Brandon?

Who's Brandon? I guess I have to mention that.

Good to meet you probably shouldn't joke about that.

Dementia's not funny, no. So what have we been up to?

Just, you know, casually 100% or more games.

Last year I got like 27. I'm up to like 40 now.

Jesus, yeah, your library still left to go because I know you

got a pretty big library. Well, as as of right now, my

library is like I have 40 games. Well, 43, but the, you know,

Steam doesn't count three of them for some reason.

Oh, that's really. Weird.

OK. On the profile, so I have like

160 something games so that's like 1/4 of my games but also

I'm not sure exactly how many but if I had to guess another 40

ish doesn't have achievements. So it's like Ed down OK but also

I know that I'm not going to 100% every single one can.

Some are dead, some have achievements tied to beta, some

have it which is really dumb. Some have achievements tied to

rankings which is really dumb as well.

That's yeah, that's. Kind of.

That's really weird. I, I, I hate beta achievements

and I hate that's, that's a, that's a discussion.

I'm not getting into that. Dumb.

Yeah. What about you, Mark, what

you've been doing? Oh, you know, hanging out.

I've been spending lots of time with my wife, playing video

games, enjoying life. See, I wouldn't know how that

is. How?

What is? You say I had dementia.

It's funny, tuned out for a second.

He heard like, normal. He heard normal life stuff.

He's like, I'm not into that. My life feels like a video game.

My life lives in the video game. I'm Brendan.

OK, what do we got? Yeah, what we got today, so

topic. Is in there.

Go on, talk, talk. Go ahead, don't keep us waiting.

Oh, come on, get on with it. Oh, lizard.

Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen.

All right, so our topic is favorite main characters.

I swear to fuck. Favorite main characters?

I like making brain and angry. It's funny, I.

Bought everything. Virgin please.

But yes, favorite main characters?

Who wants to go first? They're looking, they're

looking, they're looking. They're getting very close for

some reason. Yeah, person.

What the fuck was that? I have no idea.

I broke him first, he goes first.

You made a sound first. He should go first.

OK, I can go first. Social anxiety.

I can go first. No, I can go first.

I'll take the hit. Yay.

So my first one is Freddy Fazbear.

Or or or or or. I will say in the first game he

was always the scariest of the bunch 'cause he, he like, he

always stirred the camera, he always hid in the shadows.

What does he do in the first game?

Also, like we've talked about it a couple like here and there,

like just the ambiance and everything about it.

Just really fucking scary for his time by like the first game

he was just mysterious. But what I the Freddie that I'm

talking about, so this is more so a legacy kind of thing that

comes with it is glam rock Freddie.

Oh my God, he's so fucking funny.

Every like every time he speaks, he just has this like certain

cadence about him. And like especially what like at

the very beginning, near the beginning of the game, like when

you're like trying to evade Chica and like trying to get to

the pizza plexus and Greg is like, Oh my God, a free prize.

I got a free prize and it's a Mr. Hippo magnet.

And then fucking Freddie just comes out like, I am truly

sorry, Greg. It's so fucking funny.

Gregory, sorry. Like I am truly sorry.

Like, bro, it ain't that serious.

The fucking magnet. It's OK, Gregory.

And just the way he talks that the entire game is like, oh, I

know, I know that we can that no, it's like a, you pick up a

ticket for something, He's like, Oh my God, you can use that to

get into the daycare and like, or we'll have to go through L

chips or like just the way he talks is just so fucking funny

'cause he's trying to help you and he's trying to sympathize.

Like, he's pretty sincere. Yes, as you're going through

this game trying to evade vanity and all these animatronics, just

it's, it's not supposed to be funny, but it's really fucking

funny. Gregory, I'm so sorry.

Gregory, I can see things through walls.

Your. Mind is super.

Oh yeah, that is just like what happened.

What happened to Chica? This is Chica's voice box.

It's like she took a tumble. Is it?

Oh no, that is really bad. But she's still functioning.

Is it? Oh that is great to hear.

And then the one gets me is fucking like the the Roxy's

eyes. Like I could see things with

the. Walls.

Yeah, well, I gave you Roxy's eyes.

These are Roxy's eyes. Like he's so fucking like.

Oh my God. What?

What are you doing to my friends?

He like. He will be like, Oh my God, but

then he'll take everything you say as gospel.

He's like, oh thank God, thank. Goodness.

It's so stupid. And then you encounter them,

they're all fucked up and. Like.

The animatronics and he says nothing about.

You know, there's no voice lines.

He just stands there and like you'll.

Look at him. Oh yes, this is normal.

And like, you'll look at him like, and he'll just fucking

like, wait, yeah, he'll fucking. Wait, hey.

Do you not see destroyed Chico over there?

Are you not gonna? Are you not concerned?

Yeah. I'm waiting to talk about this

game more, but he's just a Freddy Freddy Fazber.

He's he's. Funny, funny.

These are. I like the interactions you get

to have with him in the in the older games with, especially

with the Freddy mask. I remember seeing all the the

fan animations of Oh yeah, that's definitely Freddie.

Freddie, you're Freddie. Fuck you, idiot.

That's clearly the night guard. No, that's Freddie.

That's. Freddie.

But the night guard was just here.

No I will say though, withered Freddie like is he used to be my

favorite animatronic in the entire series.

Just the way he looked and like his presence.

He was like 7 foot. Fucking he was fucking. 8 foot

tall. He was tall.

He could barely fit the you flank you shine the light and he

could barely fit in the doorway. He was a big motherfucker.

Yeah. So imposing.

In his presence. And then when he's.

He's aura forming from. Us.

And when he's like, reaching out above, like trying to grab you

when when you have to like, throw the mask on.

Yeah, like you. You see, the one that really

creeped me out was Chica with her Chica.

Oh yeah, she. Was fucked up.

We'll talk. We'll talk more about them

later. Yes, we will.

Yeah, but let's. Let's continue on the topic

then. But.

Yeah, no Freddy's. Are there any other notable

Freddy's? I mean, yeah, there's Nightmare

Freddy and like there's, there's no Freddy in three, oddly

enough. So, so there's Shadow Freddie.

I think that's I. Mean they're phantoms.

Or the phantom Freddie. There's.

I don't think there's. So technically he's there, but

not really. There's Chica Foxy.

Oh, no, you're right. There's Freddie.

He's walking down the hallway. You're right.

Yeah, which it's fucking funny as shit how he's like.

Yeah, I know. Like it looks like one of the

wind up toys anyway. I mean not really like notable

and three. I mean, I guess 4, but even then

he's the easiest animatronic to deal with.

Yeah, he's he's not hard to deal with, sister.

Location so yes, sister location had a pretty good one.

The fact that it was Bonnie and like a fusion of Bonnie and

Freddie, plus like the way he talks is like get him bon bon

like, like his high pitched like playful voice.

Yeah. And crazy, like he's just very

unique animatronics, especially in sister location.

And The funny thing is that Freddie and Sister location at

one point was German. Oh my God, you're raw.

At one point, yeah, it was, it was German.

And then they changed it. But gonna go get them or

whatever. Like, however he speaks like

kind of like really roboticy. Like even even though, even

though he is a robot, like even with personnel, he's really

robotic. Yes, yeah, it's not like glam

rock Freddie where it's. God no.

Where he's pretty much just. They're sentient.

No, like literally like. There's no more reason.

They are just sentient. Yeah, they're just sentient

robots. Which is honestly a really

interesting take. Yeah, cause 'cause aren't the

animatronics like possessed by Souls in like all the other

games, like the souls of children?

Yeah. Then in Security Breach they're

just like really like hyper advanced just.

Robots. Yeah, yeah, they're pretty high

end. Cause like they can feel

emotion, they have memories they and like they can sympathize

even maybe not empathize, but they can sympathize.

They're very high tech. Yeah.

And just work. Just cool.

I just. Going like just a little bit

off. I just wish we got to see more

of the other animatronics in the security Breach, like just their

personalities come out more like not not as robot or not as like

robots for evil, but just their base.

Traits. Yeah, yeah, 'cause like, it's

just like, Oh yeah, here's the animatronics, you going through

the vents and then like, you see, I'm like, Oh yeah, fine.

Then you go see Freddie. It's like, oh, let's go check up

on Chica and she's like fucking whacked out or whatever.

She's screwed up. I need to.

Eat instantly, yeah. Pizza.

Anyway, but yeah, like just Freddy Fazbear, he's just, he

just has like a presence about him most of the games.

Yes, which I would hope so considering it's he's the guy at

Freddy's. Yeah.

Still mad about Bonnie? Angry, angry frustration.

I wanted my glam rock. I'm an e-mail do.

You have a character to talk. About I mean, he he might,

there's speculation, he might if there's a like a post to ruin or

whatever, he might be back speculate.

There's it's a fan theory, but yeah.

I I'm not getting my hopes up. I don't think we're going to see

the glam rocks anymore. No, because that was sucks.

Which? Sucks.

I really, really like that. We might.

You never know, there might be something else.

I mean, Monty's dead, yeah. Monty's just straight and dead,

Yeah. I mean.

Yeah, poor guy. But now you know, Freddy's cool.

I like him. Funny as fuck.

Whore. Whore.

Whore, whore. If anyone gets that reference,

props to you. I'll.

Have to show you the video. Yeah, we'll have to show you it.

I'll do it after the show. Mr. Brandon, you've got somebody

you won't talk about. Well, use your words.

You got this. We'll start with sounds.

Yeah, service sounds, phonetics. What the tiki Tiki.

I see he's in brain rot mode right now.

Yes, now what do you got bro? So I don't have it on here.

Motherfucker. What?

Curve balls. That's how I feel.

There's still processing noise that came out.

He like, he like, yelled. At us, you said it.

It's the Braineron. He yelled at us in like demons.

He's speaking in tongues. He's speaking in tongues.

Help. So.

I said his name was like Ezekiel or something.

It was like intellect or something.

Like Intellect Emeran. So my character Booker DeWitt

from BioShock Infinite. Booker catch.

Booker catch. I'm trying to shoot someone

Booker money. I don't need it right now.

My wallet's full. Besides the jokes, he he does

really have a very interesting character story.

It's been so long I, I, I can't remember his personality or

anything. He's kind of, he's a smart ass.

Well, I mean, isn't he like a a detective?

Yes, he is a detective with the Pinkertons.

Yeah, I think it was the Pinkertons.

And he is tasked to go get Elizabeth, which I'm sure like

at this point I guess spoilers but doesn't really matter.

I mean, the game's been out for how long?

Since when have we said anything about spoilers on this podcast?

Yeah, really. Yeah.

So Elizabeth is actually Anna Booker's daughter, a grown up.

It's, it's a whole fucking thing.

It's like the. Time bullshit.

So there's a time split where he either does or does not get

baptized. If he gets baptized, he becomes

Comstock, yes? Who's the leader of the the

Flying City Who uses twins that can breach dimensions to steal

away Booker's daughter? Teresa's Elizabeth and the twins

go back and they hire Booker to go get his daughter back it.

It's convoluted, but it's so interesting.

Yeah, 'cause I can remember at the end of the game, it was like

Booker that was trying to get back, you know, Elizabeth, but

also Booker was taking Elizabeth from somebody at the beginning.

It's like what the fuck? Yeah, yeah, it is.

It turned out he was taking Elizabeth back from himself like

an alternate version of himself. Yes, it his his character is

kind of sad, like just. I mean, he definitely doesn't

get a happy ending, no. No he does not, but I just liked

him for being, well, it's funny being a smart ass but also kind

of having a caring side to him. Yeah.

Look, if you want to go and say it, it's the Leon Kennedy of the

fucking fall of a Bioshock universe, I guess.

Because I mean, you'll have the the smart ass side of him in

four as well as the caring side of him that comes out because of

Ashley. Well, yes, well, more more so in

the remake the. Yeah.

The the original game he was just.

Corny a corny asshole. He was just funny.

But yeah, now Booker, I don't know, He's just, his character

was just fun. He was just funny.

It did bring it. It did bring a a new light into

it. Yes, because just the way he

would speak on things. Plus, like, the setting helped,

too. Like, it was definitely like a

brighter setting, yeah. Yeah, and I really liked his

reactions to the the first couple salts that you get the

abilities like I I know he he like says like, oh, that was no

sample or some shit. I just felt bad for him with the

the like fire salt. That's not like Burn fully catch

on fire when he. 1st. Yeah, he literally his hands.

Yep. Yeah, you see bone and shit and

it's like fucked up. Yeah, like what the hell.

Then doesn't like he heal or something?

Yeah, then then it goes to the animation and then he's fine.

It's perfectly fine, but he's he's all freaking out 'cause his

hands belt to get in front of him and he's like sure why?

And like it wasn't like basically not propaganda, but

something else, whatever word it was where like it's just like,

Oh yeah, try this. It'll be the greatest thing in

the. World.

Oh yeah, the marketing and yeah, marketing, yeah fucking weird,

man. But you know, Booker's one of

the characters that I can say is is one of my favourites just

for, like I said, being such a smart ass, but having just a

great personality and whatever environment he's in, he always

has something to say about it. I I really like how they kind of

leaned more into the character dynamics and infinite.

The character dynamic between the two of them was.

'Cause 'cause I, I know I was thinking about bringing up

subject Delta, but honestly, he's, he's just really a silent

protagonist at the game. Yes.

So you really build off of the reactions of other people.

Yes. And then in the first game, I

don't remember who you play as. His name was funny enough, his

name is Jack. Yeah, John.

Yep. There it is, yeah.

There it is. I'm bringing up but.

Yeah, no, you're pretty much just like like an errand boy in

that one. I don't.

I don't really remember him talking all that much besides

his reactions. And grunting.

And grunting, especially if you put in the Big Daddy suit 'cause

you had to, you had to, you know, twist your vocal cords and

go through the process of becoming a Big Daddy.

Yeah, that shit, that shit was, yeah, that's Booker.

Booker's cool. Booker do feel bad for him

'cause he had a very bad ending, but you know.

I mean none of his endings were any good.

It's either you get drowned in a river by all the alternate

versions of Elizabeth, you get shot as Comstock, or.

Yeah, it's literally. The one that somehow made it a

rapture that gets run through by the Big Daddy at the start of

it. Yeah, it like literally it's

he's fucked either damn way. Just no happy ending at all.

No, but at least he's at peace. We think.

We think. Who knows?

All right. What about you, Mark?

Oh, me, I kind of want to go on to a game that I haven't talked

about too much. Let's talk about Mr. Kyle Crane

from Dying Light. OK?

What? I can't hear you guys.

Everybody else can hear you, but not me.

Well, well, the, the, what do you guys want to know about Mr.

Kyle Crane? What game is he from?

He's from the Dying Light series.

What's his name? I have Kyle Crane.

Man, that wall is looking enticing, right?

Now charge. What does he do?

Does he have his superpowers? No, just just an ordinary man

basically. I I haven't played the second

game. I've really been beating too.

I just haven't had the time. It's weird.

So like in in the later games you're still playing as Kyle

Crane, but I think it's just a different character overall.

I'd have to play and confirm the first games.

Kyle Crane, you are an agent of, I can't remember what the what

the organization was from, but they're kind of like ACDC esque

medical company. And you're tasked with going in

and securing the vaccine for the Haran virus in the city of Haran

because that's where the zombie outbreak is occurring.

And you're sent in. Immediately things go South and

you get bitten and infected, and now you're going around dealing

with all the locals trying to find your way out and also

trying to figure out a vaccine to heal yourself and the people

around you and figure out how to survive through all this.

And throughout the story, you're dealing with like local

corruption, you've got like street gangs you're fighting

against, you have just regular civilians that you're

interacting with, and you're just trying to deal with the

zombie apocalypse as a whole. And you know, as an added bonus,

Kyle's really, really good at parkour and free running.

So you're able to get around the city using rooftops, walls,

things hanging off the sides of buildings and whatnot.

And as a character, he starts off as pretty kind of arrogant,

kind of, oh, I'm gonna blend in, figure out what's going on.

But as he starts, starts uncovering conspiracy theories

from the, from the organization he's working for, he's like, the

people here are seriously fucked.

I need to step in and actually do a, do a thing.

Otherwise all these people are just going to get wiped out.

And he really starts kind of taking on this leadership role

with the people he's with. And going into the DLC, we get

to a point where, OK, there's no more vaccines coming in.

People are really starting to suffer and starting to turn in

order to buy a little bit more time for the resident doctor to

actually figure out a, a true vaccine to the virus.

To end the whole thing. You need to figure out a

temporary solution to get everybody else through it.

And so you go into the countryside because the the

zombie outbreak broke, quarantine is now in the

countryside of the city. And you stumble along a cult

that is worships, worships being some sort of lady that has a

cure for the virus. And you're, you're doing your

normal shenanigans. You're dealing with the

population trying to work with them.

You know, you're getting backstabbed.

You're you're just being some asshole trying to get by making

quirky comments here and there. Just, you know, good old boy or

not, not good old boy that that's a we'll do that out.

OK. What, what, what what's the

saying? I don't know.

Yeah, you're, you're just being a guy.

You're just being a guy. Being just being a guy.

I've I've played Dying Light 1 and I have played a little bit

of two. I the games are good.

I just couldn't get into them. It was just something I just, I

guess for me it's not really a game for.

Me, I mean, to be fair, at the time and even like now, there

was just like a bunch of like zombie games already.

Like there was Dead Rising, there was Dead Island, There was

other games just at that time out.

Yeah, it was a popular genre at the time.

Yes. Plus the Call of Duty's.

And it was just it, it was kind of getting beat to death.

Yeah. And like I, I don't know, I just

may have just been burnt out from that type of genre or

whatnot. But I mean, you are right, it

did come out at like the peak of.

Yeah. Zombies and zombie games being

kind of reference. Plus just like also the open

world aspect with the zombies, it's like.

Which has a lot of open world. Yeah, you, I guess you have to

be in the mindset of zombies and open world, 'cause I can see why

open world get boring as well. I get I get bored of open world,

yeah, but that added with zombies like I want, I genuinely

wanted to play Dead Rising 3 'cause that's open world with

zombie never. Never ended.

I I think what appealed to me more was just the creativity and

just dealing with different situations just kind of

appealing. Right.

You got to go to these different locations and I'm sure there's

different like super like souped up zombies as well.

That you have to deal with. Yeah, Yeah.

I mean, that's like I you saying that you wanted to play Dead

Rising 3? Did I played the shit out of

that one and it was a lot of fun, yeah.

But yeah, there was just so many of these games out at that time

that it just it. Was it just washed out this

round rough? Yeah, but it didn't hurt Dying

Light. No, we.

Didn't hurt it. Honestly, I'm surprised that the

franchise actually continuing forward.

And I mean, that's great. Like it's, it's good to see that

because like nowadays you don't really, at least from what I've

seen, you don't really see a lot of zombie things.

I mean, for a while we had The Last of Us kind of going well

until the second game came out and then it just kind of.

Well, that's because like, Last of Us was different.

It wasn't just oh, look, there's a zombie outbreak.

No, it's a fungus. It's a fungus.

It was a it was a lot different. Yeah.

And. It was a it was a fresh take on

the zombie genre. Yeah.

And plus, like it just in this day and age, I think zombies

have just been explored and like even The Walking Dead TV show,

Yes, well. That's because they dropped off

the zombies after like season 4 and it became like a a drama.

Yeah. But even then it's like you can

only do so much with zombies. Yeah, Yes, that's.

You know, like. That's the unfortunate truth of

the matter. Slow moving, like just brain

dead, Yeah. Like a damn dog.

Because what even you know, around that time and Dying Light

came out. Because what?

What year did Dying Light come out?

Oh good, I want to see it was like mid twenty 10s.

Yeah, that's what I guess I'm going to guess 2012.

Because I actually so well if it came out around 2010. 2015.

2015. Yeah, re actually mid twenty 10s

mid. 20 tens, OK. So it's kind of coming off.

Like, yeah, towards the end, yeah.

'Cause then just some years later they a 2019 Resident Evil

2 that remade and that was zombies.

Yeah. Which was a lot different.

It fucking zombies. They weren't bad, they were just

spongy. Yeah, bullet sponges.

As and, and that's not just that game, the original same thing.

That's fair. That's fair.

But yeah, 'cause I mean, it's on like after that I, I didn't hear

anything of like games that were incorporating zombies and

whatnot. Like it's just kind of a thing

that's been beaten to death. Now that being said, it it will

probably never go away as a genre of some kind.

But I'm assuming at some point it will have its own resurgence

kind of as things kind of ebb and flow with it with with just

the way that the genre is approached.

Yeah, because, I mean, I there probably could be something they

could do, like whatever company decides to do this, something

different with zombies, I'm sure there's something different you

could do. Yeah, it's just finding that.

Finding that niche. Yeah, it's just such an easy

thing to go to. Yeah, it's super fucking easy.

Like I wouldn't be surprised if RE-9 has some type of zombie.

Right. Yeah, but no, that's the Dying

Light series is cool. It was just a game that really

wasn't for me. That's fair.

That's fair. I played it, I gave it a chance

and it was just something that just couldn't keep my attention.

Yeah, I remember, I remember 1 episode in particular.

I watched Jacksepticeye play and he's like, oh, I'm going to try

the Exp caliber and like you have like 7 uses.

Yeah, shoot, shoot, shoot. Dead.

I like just broke. I'm like, well, that's, that's

stupid stupid. I remember that side quest.

I went through fucking hell and back to get that.

I was like, oh, this is going to be so cool.

And then it just broke. I was like well fuck.

You just did all that hard work for nothing.

Yeah, that. Hell and back for that thing.

What do you mean it's already broken?

I probably would have stopped playing at that point.

Like fuck I just did this fucking quest.

They supposed to give me something that's good and then

it breaks after very few uses? No, I'm.

Sorry I think you could craft it again but it also like it also

give you a shit ton of experience but it just wasn't

worth it. Yeah, the pain and suffering,

they have to get this thing and then it just breaks.

Yep. Yeah, no, I'm sorry.

Fuck that. All right, Mr. Ethan.

I mean, I think I've talked about these games on here

before, but tie the Tasmanian Tiger now, there's not really

much to talk about here. It's just more so.

And like you say, I grew up with it and it's just like how he

talks. There's a charm to it.

Yeah, 'cause you know, it's, it's, it's, yeah.

Someone from Tasmania, which is, you know, off of off of

Australia. Yeah.

But I mean close enough to like in verbiage and how they talk.

And it's just it's just like as a kid, it was just like funny,

like being like, oh, like fair dinkum or you beauty.

It's just like these are words that I've never would have

thought of in this combination before.

But I mean that's, you know, just how was slash is.

Yeah. And like even then it's just

like he's, he's like, I'll get it done kind of guy.

He's like, all right, Ty, we have to, we have you.

We need you to go deliver this, this uranium rod to this, to

this construction company or something like that.

I was like, all right, I'll do it and just load it up in the

car. The confident attitude.

Yeah, it is. Yeah, it's like, Yep, I'll get

it done and like just load it up in the car.

You got 5 minutes to go down the street.

I was like, all right, I got it to you.

You need anything else? I was like, Nope, I should be

good now. I was like, all right, OK, like.

Got it. I mean, that's more so the

second game, but just like, I don't know, it's just, you know,

he wants to do good. Yeah, 'cause there's this

reoccurring character, Fluffy, which is actually a reptile.

It's a lot of sense, but all right.

Fuck me. Well, yeah, Fluffy's a

reoccurring character and he's just like, but you could be a

good guy. He's like, but yeah, the money I

work with, I work with Boss Cass.

I'm like, I like, I'll see you later, darling.

Or like you rat. I like just calling him a rat

instead of instead of a tiger. Yeah, there's just the

interactions he has with like characters and just even like

how he talks himself is just funny.

I don't know, just it's it's it's like you with Resident

Evil. It's just more so a nostalgia

pick than anything. Yeah, it's pretty much.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get that. No, I'm sure there's other more

charming like furry characters from the early 2000s like Sly or

Conquer something. Or Banjo Kazooie.

Yeah, but the fucking stupid sounds I.

Fucking love it dude I hate it I love it so much.

For reference, I hate Rick and Morty and I hate Beavis and

Butthead. It's like this is just

unnecessary sounds. I need teepee for my bungle.

I could see where it's annoying. You probably didn't.

You probably wouldn't even like the Ren and Stimpy.

Probably not. Because that that show was like

a kid on I fucking Sugar. High.

Oh yeah. I fucking love Ren and Stimpy as

a kid. To be fair, I watched Johnny

test as a kid and that's Brad's brain rock central.

Yeah. Anyway, we're getting back on

topic now. There's not really much else to

talk about, Ty. So you guys, yeah, yeah, I think

it's Brain and Stern. What you got?

So we're going to talk about Doom Guy.

Too angry to die? Silent protagonist.

And well, yes, for the most part until a DLC.

Yeah, yeah. For one word.

For one fucking word, so do. You have anything to say to your

creator? No, no, that's literally that's

it. That's literally it.

One line that's. Fucking awesome.

Like that that was that was done well, but yeah, doom guy slash

Slayer because doom guy that was the.

Original Doom. It was the original Doom guy.

And then 2016, he became known as the Doomslayer.

Yeah. And it's still the same guy too,

it's just. It's it's the same character,

just a different. Game.

It's a weird sort of time. Jump.

I mean it kind of makes sense and plus like Doomslayer just

sounds fucking epic. Oh, it does.

And just like the the the gameplay difference between the

originals and yes, the remakes or the remasks, whatever.

We were wrong. He doesn't just say the one

word. He says a couple more words in

eternal or he's talking to the the priests and they're like,

oh, hey, tell us about everything.

He's like plied guts, big guts. He's just kind of rambling.

So technically, yes, he's had more than one.

Word. He's had like 5 to 10 words.

Man, I wish I was that person who got paid for that.

OK, so basically still Salem per deck in his territory.

Yeah, yeah. You just talking the other time.

I mean, those two cutscenes are the only times I recall them

talking. Yeah, 'cause he, he had that,

that look about him that like he like look at you and then like

way and shit in your life. I just like, I like passing by

all the the scientists on the station, yeah.

They're all freaked out. Like, Oh my God, he's gonna

kill. And then there's.

The two guards. There was one was one of the

scientists like you go up to him, he's like, and then he.

Just shout to him, you grab his ID badge and just RIP it off of

him and just. Walk.

No, you drag him. Oh yeah, that's right, you drag

him across the counter until it skins.

Yeah, literally you just drag it.

He's like, Oh my. God, afterwards I'm like, Oh

yes, it got it, Yeah, Pretty high, yeah.

No I I after that after you climb the ladder at the top

there's another cutscene. It's just two guards stating

watch over the the BFE, the BFG and the one guard stalking shit.

He's like I don't. I don't really get the hype of

this doom guy. I bet I could kick his ass.

Then you just see the Hatch. Just go fucking fly.

He steps out. Doom guy steps out, looks over

the guy that was talking shit, takes his gun and walks off.

The guy's like, I think it just wet myself.

He's so was. That angry to care?

Was that eternal or that was eternal?

Oh my fucking God. Was that eternal?

I think it. Yes, it was because we were

going to shoot a hole in Mars. Oh.

God. It was just before you.

Can't just shoot a hole into the surface of Mars.

Watch me shoot a hole in Mars. Like that's just just the non

caring, too angry to die superimposing.

I'm going to fuck you up like. Yeah.

He's it's just great, a silent protagonist that gives off that

much and you just know exactly how he is.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I, I love it.

Have you heard like one of the origin stories of why he went

back into hell was because they killed his pet rabbit?

Yeah, because they killed his pet rabbit.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. He came back and saw, you know,

his rabbit was dead or I got some going back.

That's it, I'm. Going to fuck you up now.

Because the demons like, hey, let's mess with this.

They they invaded Earth and they killed this rabbit.

Let's mess with this Doom guy, yeah?

I just and I just. Scorched earth tactic.

I just love Doom guy. Just.

Scorched Health. Scorched God damn it.

No, I just I I love doom guy just also for her dude Slayer

just for how screwed up he kills these fucking aliens just the

way he kills them like I I like. So brutal.

We'll see what makes me laugh with which is kind of sadistic

when you do a a glory kill on the cocko demon.

You just pull the eye out. Yeah, but what's funny is if you

listen, the sound is like. It's a.

Yeah, yeah. And then he just thinks like.

It explodes. I mean, I do have a figure of

him right here so. Or do you do you do you remember

the the cutscene after the game where you have the demon playing

with the action figures? Is that's right.

And then you just said doom slave behind him, cocky shotgun.

He's like, oh. And the other one other one of

the big demons, like one of the fat ones.

The Mancubus. I think it's that it's, yeah,

it's one of the ones with. You're talking about the ones

with the guns on the arms, Yeah. It's that I love the glory kill

where you fucking rip out this like thing out of it's like

stomach here and then you shove it down it's throat it.

Explodes. Yeah, it just whenever like he

doom guy, you know, does the animation, I'm just like oh, and

it's boom boom, it's fucking. Awesome.

God damn it, it's. Like I've showed, which funny

enough, I probably shouldn't have done this, but I showed my

mom some of the glory kills and she's like, what the fuck are

you playing? Like she knows about Doom,

right? Like she knows about the BFG.

Yeah, the big fucking gun. That's what it ain't no bio

force shit. Big fucking gun.

And when you talk about Doom, you can't say it like that.

You can't say doom. You gotta say fucking doom.

Fucking Doom. I can't take credit for that

though. That's a angry video game nerd.

It's law around these parts. It is in and then after playing

Doom 2016 I went back to the original games and it did

obviously. Big difference.

Yeah. But I like them because it's not

just about killing the demons. Now that is part of it, but it's

also puzzle solving. That was a very big part and

it's even still a big part now. This Doom was always about

killing shit, but then puzzles and and what not Yeah even a

little bit of platforming, which was kind of weird.

Like I. Feel I I honestly feel like a

lot of that's kind of watered down lately in the newer Doom

titles. It's more of.

It it's more of an arena shooter like Quake.

Yeah, that's pretty much yeah. There's still puzzles here and

there, but it was really about just killing shit and not

honestly. I'm OK.

With that, I it's still a good time.

Unless like if you want a like fucking violent version of the

older Doom games, there is a mod for it called Brutal Doom which

is super fucking violent. Like these pixel art shit.

Like the guns are different, they sound different, they look

different. They also, depending on which

one you're using, like the shotgun, if you're shooting one

of the fucking aliens in the head, the head will bust off.

The brains go on the ceiling. Oh God, yeah, it's fucked up.

Christ. So if you want.

Like like it gives Mortal Kombat a run for its.

Money. Yeah, the chainsaw.

You put them all up and shit. I am truly sorry about that my

friend. Can be a little amended.

Against it's God, it's it's just it's cool, like how violent it

is and satisfying because the sounds are different too, like

everything's kind of updated, I guess you could say like the

grenades too. You just fucking throw them and

fucking body parts go over the place and shit.

Like seen this in like the the fucking 90s Doom is funny as

shit. Even the barrels.

The barrels are funny. Now it could be probably a

little too violent for some people because it's.

It turns it up to 11 is what you're saying.

Yeah, it honestly fucking passed 11.

It's. Fucked up.

Like I don't like, I don't mind like gore, but when it's like

like Uber gore, I'm. Yeah, like, like I said, brains

on the ceiling dripping down and you hear it.

I mean, it's good, fuck, I can't really say anything, but that's

also because Dead Space. Yeah.

So you're kind of. Used to that, I've kind of tone

deaf to it because I'm like wow. It's just it's it's a little

different with a game like that that is as old as it is.

Yeah. And it has that, yeah.

The fact that that works is pretty interesting.

Yeah, really. Now the only thing I don't like

about it, and this is like a fucking sin for Doom Reloading.

There is no reloading in Doom. You just shoot it puts reloading

into the game, yes. Interesting.

Which it looks cool, but I that's not how Doom is.

That's that's not part of the loop.

No, you don't like have to reload your gun.

You just, you keep shooting. You just keep fucking going.

Yeah, and you can also flip off the the the demons like like

quite literally, like your character will flip off and say

fuck you, eat shit. I'm.

Like so it's like Doom meets Postal?

Yeah, pretty much, yeah. Yeah.

And it's easy to install. You just need the the wad file

load that wad. Sorry, I'm referencing fucking

anger video game nerd. God damn it.

Yes, I love, I love, I love doom.

I I really do. I, I, it's, it's a good

franchise for what it is and the people that worked on it and the

fact that there's mods that you can literally just play through

like the new versions of Doom, you just load them up, even have

a Sonic mod, you could say, oh, funnier enough.

It's timeless, yeah. Yeah, damn sure.

Put that on. Wow.

But God damn shit. Well, that's think so.

Yeah. Dude.

Dude, don't worry, I've got a noggin up here.

It's do it's. Do you?

It's chugging. It's a hamster with you see

looking at oh, it's. Smoking.

Oh, it's having problems. But who would like to go next?

I am done talking about Doom because I'll keep talking about

it if I don't. Oh yes.

Cat. Oh yeah, the plushy.

Yeah. Oh no, yeah, it's too far away.

Want it? No, it's too far away.

Oh, good, Kitty. I want Kitty.

It's just a very long pillow. Oh, Jesus.

Oh my God. I made a mess.

This, this one's going to be. On me, I guess I'll entertain

the masses for now, but Brandon is currently getting like a four

foot, 3 foot cat. It's basically a body pillow and

he's having a seizure, smiling, trying to get in the right

position. All right, and.

There it is. And he's good.

He smelled like a doofus. I don't know why, I don't know

why all of a sudden he wanted the cat, but it's like a kid at

a carnival prize from the big section.

So happy SO. Happy.

He's so happy. It's a body pillow of a cat.

Literally just cat. Yep.

I could literally hit myself in the eye with this.

You have protective. He's comfy.

I generally don't know why you want to cat anyway.

Back on topic, yeah, Mr. Isaac Clark from Dead Space.

I'm not going to read on about a Dead Space because I've done it

for many of episodes, but look at that Mister to to Isaac here.

I I like seeing the character analysis of him and it's just so

interesting having a different perspective of him before you

play the game and after you you go in and replay the game.

Because as you start off the game, you think it's all it's

going to be nice and good. And especially in the remake,

because the in the original he was just mostly a silent

protagonist except for like one or two scenes here and there.

But yeah, for, for the remake and two and three, you really

see a lot more of the character develop.

And the first game, he just starts off as just, Oh yeah,

this is our random job for me, that he's just suddenly thrown

into eldritch zombie apocalypse. And as you learn more and more

about him, you find out he's actually still just really

fucked up even going into the game originally.

Because when you get to the end of the game and you get to the

twist that Nicole was dead, you realize it's not just the fact

that she's dead now, it's the fact that she was already dead.

He knew about it and he still talked about her as if she was

still alive because he couldn't accept it.

Oh God. And you when you go to replay

the game, he keeps talking about Nicole as if she's still alive

even before they drop out of the of the the, the lightspeed,

whatever technology they use. When after they drop out of

warp, he's still talking about her as if she's still alive even

before he gets in contact with the marker.

So it just goes to show that, you know, he's still a normal

guy, but he's also really fucked in the head because he can't

accept the fact that he's never gonna have her in his life again

and allows the marker to manipulate him.

It's just a really interesting character dynamic that I, I feel

gets missed out by a lot of people.

That's all I really had to say without diving full on into into

the game again. Poor guy, yeah, gets fucked

with. I, I, I mean, for the best

story, the reason why he has regret for her killing herself

is because he blamed her for the death of his parents.

Because Nicole was the psychiatrist to his mother.

Yeah. And they started dating.

And before she went on to the Ishimura, she's like, hey, I

think your mom's finally fine. And she can move back in with

your dad and you, and then you guys should be fine.

And then she leaves and all of a sudden his mom has a fucking

trip, kills his dad, kills herself.

And then before he can even get a funeral for their bodies, the

Church of Unitology swipes up the bodies and puts them on one

of the tomb ships. And he's.

And in a video call with her, he's like you.

You might as well have killed them yourselves 'cause you said

they were fine and she's like fuck you and hangs up on him.

And that's the last conversation he has with her before she sends

him the video of her killing herself.

So it it's really. Fucked.

God damn. Yeah, I, I didn't, I, I kind of

knew a little bit about Isaac Clark, but I did not know his

backstories. I fucked.

Yeah. How the hell did he not just say

fuck everything? I mean, he technically did.

He let the marker manipulate him.

And so you seen Nicole walk around the ship.

Yeah, I'm just surprised he just didn't end it like that's.

Throughout the games you're just surprised he didn't end it.

Actually in in two he almost tries to.

He tries to have like a self sacrificial moment.

Yeah. And the New Girl comes in and

she's like, get on the fucking ship.

Yeah. You're not getting a choice is

better and he just gets on the ship.

Oh my God, a new love interest. Yeah, and then their

relationship falls apart between the 2nd and the 3rd game.

Of course. But we won't talk about game #3

because that's just so many weird choices with that.

But the real question is why are you letting these?

OK, you already went through really bad relationship.

Yeah. That you kind of caused because

you're kind of a Dick. Yeah, understand.

Like understandably, you know, parents and what not.

But she didn't do anything. She didn't do anything.

She thought she was fine. But then you're going to fuck up

this one after you've already been like it.

It's the. Yeah.

Fucking Isaac. Yeah, nothing goes well for him.

No, and some of it is self-inflicted.

Yeah. But just just a really

interesting character to dive into when you really want to

analyze the series. Yeah, and it's a great series.

I mean it's. And I especially love the rebake

where they gave him more interactions with everybody.

And it, yes, it feels a lot more natural with him talking back to

Hendrix and Kendra, I think, yeah.

Something like that, Yeah, yeah. Give him give his character more

depth. Yeah, it's just all you're

you're just nobody that gets told what to do.

Yeah. And you make funny noises when

you keep stomping your foot on the.

Ground son of. A.

Backing. Bitch God.

It's funny, I, I, I, I do that when I'm, when I play Dead

Space. I've done that plenty of times

when I'm thoroughly pissed off of an enemy.

Yeah, yeah. It's just so satisfying,

satisfying. It's so tangent.

Just a fucking blood paste and you're just.

Squish, squish, squish. But I will say, just before we

move away from Dead Space, that guy, that fucking banging his

head. Ohh I'm seeing the wall initial

hallway. Bro that shit was fucked.

He's like Bang. Bang, he turns around, he just

collapses. Yeah, 'cause he just sees blood

spurting from him. Yeah, here he was pretty bucked

up. That's fucked up game God.

It's a fucked up game series. But it's really good.

Like if you if you want a master class of cosmic horror, Dead

Space. Oh boy, man made in horror.

Is Mohammed no man made? Actually, yes.

First, Barker is completely man made.

Oh boy, man made horrors behind comprehension.

And then the other markers are not man made so they're Eldridge

horrors. Oh.

God. All right.

Yeah. Dead Space.

Yeah. Lit.

All right, who wants to take over?

We got time for more. Yes, we do.

One more. I mean, I can talk about I want

to hug that Gator now. This is it's more so a visual

novel than a game, and I can't say what drove me to actually

playing this, but I was going through my Steam discovery and

all of a sudden I just so happened to land on this page.

I had more to discover in my Steam discovery, but I just

stayed there. And the music was fairly

pleasant actually, but I just stayed there, head in the

background. I guess it was just like a

growing interest kind of deal. But anyway, going into the game,

you play as a character called Inco G Nito.

What? It's supposed to be Incognito.

Oh, OK, yeah, but yeah, Inco is you know what you're referenced

by most of the game. But yeah, Inco G nito, you are

pretty much this. It's Anon like anonymous.

It's you're a blank face character with AI think a white

shirt, black shirt and like a blue jacket and glasses.

Nothing no like no like no eyes or facial features.

Maybe occasionally a smile or like a a mouth.

But you get to this. You get like the premises that

you get to a school like a new art school and you just like

want to try to pursue art 'cause you're a photographer and it's a

dinosaur school and then you find this alligator.

Then you want to hug, but just the first time I played it, it

took me like 12 hours to go through the entire story and it

was it pulled at my heartstrings quite a bit.

I this game like I this started off as me just like, you know,

just idly being on the steam page store for some for some

reason I need. To look up this game now.

It's actually a fairly interesting game.

If you like visual novels, I would I would give this game a

try. It's very very good and it has

like 4 different endings. But again getting off topic Inco

like he he finds this impaired like wheelchair bound Gator and

it's kind of like a love at first sight thing and like she

looks Uber pissed. She doesn't talk at all.

She doesn't. Say anything or like even then

very very like very few words and you just you just want to

get to know her because she makes really good art and you're

genuinely interested in her as a person, unlike a lot of people.

Oh, she's cute. She is very Olivia.

She's very cute and just as you play, like you see, you see Inko

like start to start to get to know her and start to be more

friendly and, you know, like start to laugh and eventually

start to defend her and actually like care for her fully.

It's a very wholesome game. But you know, like it also

depends on the choices that you make, but the good choices are

really fucking good And just everything about this game

encapsulated me for like a week. It just I don't know the ink

Inco. There's some funny parts, but

yeah, not just it's it's, it's, it's a short 1 again.

There was just a charm about him.

Oh, them really. It's mainly Inko and Olivia

because at first you just don't know anything about her.

But then you start to realize what's going on.

And like, I won't say too much for people who do want to play

because there's just, it's just so much story packed into.

Yeah, it's one. It's.

One game. It's one of those narrative

driven things. It's purely narrative driven.

Yeah, or if you know too much, you already kind of ruined the

experience for yourself, right? But it's just like the the

premise of, you know, dinosaur people and you're the only human

in the entire school. And there there's like not even

like Olivia aside, there's some really good characters.

There's a teacher in there that I love.

I won't say who, but I love them.

They're they're kind of a a mentor to Olivia.

The fact that he like even though he's a dinosaur, he has

stuff to say to Inco is also great as well.

So do you know there's a plushie?

Yes. Very cute.

Yes, again, this game is very cute.

Very adorable. Granted, some of the endings are

bad. Yeah.

But it's just getting to see the story is just a marvel and

seeing these characters develop and seeing why like Olivia was a

shut in. Serving outcast.

I mean, she kind of made herself that way, that's all.

I will say that. But there's a reason as well to

why she made herself that way. And it's like, I do like, I'm

somebody who's not really like likes the visual novel stuff.

Neither am I, neither AM. I, you know, but this, this is

interesting. It's I kind of at some point

might pick it up. It's it's a good read for 12

hours and there's, so I will say there's four endings there.

There's a system for it. I won't get into it but to keep

it hidden, but depending on certain choices like you know

like the system happens and different routes open up.

And you know, I like, I didn't reread the story, but going back

through and doing everything the game has to offer, like it took

me 24 hours. So that initial read was 12.

So that's a long read. I'll say for like and it's

$15.00. That's pretty good for a $15.

Game. I am not a person for these

visual novel games. I don't care for Doki Doki and

none of these, none of none of the stuff.

But yeah, just I don't know. Inko is a character though.

He's really fucking funny in the in the game, really fucking

funny. He's like, Oh yeah, I can do

this and starts to show off and then just gets immediately

obliterated by a dodge ball and gets laid out for the for the

rest of the day. He's like, what time is it?

It's like it's after school all. Right.

But yeah, that's that's all. All righty.

All right. A good wholesome one, Yeah, Very

good wholesome one. After me talking about ripping

bases off, Yeah. No Dead Space.

It's going from Doom to Isabel Kind.

Of a nice refresher, yes, You round up the night, right?

All right. Well, that's it.

Anything else? I'm good.

No, I'm good. OK.

Your mom, I'm sure they love that.

You know, I'm going to add detail.

No. Just for you.

Yeah. All right.

Well, then that is the episode for today.

We hope that you enjoy it. Let us know in the comments what

your favorite main character is. We'd love to hear it.

I forgot that. I forgot that last week.

Shit, I forgot we have to interact with people.

Fuck. Yeah, we're we're really.

Kind what kind of podcast host have I I share all.

Right. Well, Player 4, you may now

unplug. Enjoy the rest of your day.

Bye everybody.

The Story
