ADR - Episode 554: Midna's Sorrow

[00:00:05] Oh, hello and welcome to A Dente Rigamortis. I'm Review Cultist.

[00:00:21] I'm Mikey, the East Tens for Evil.

[00:00:24] I'm the Gamer in Yellow.

[00:00:25] And we're here to discuss those internet stories, most creepy and most pasta, and be critically silly doing it.

[00:00:31] And tonight we have... Midnas Sorrow.

[00:00:36] So, we are into the new year 2025.

[00:00:41] And I'd just like to say I'm disappointed in all of you out there.

[00:00:45] I put out two calls to action for Jeff the Killer stories, for Jeff Buery this year.

[00:00:55] And I got nothing.

[00:00:57] Thank God.

[00:00:58] I don't know if it's because social media is dying or just like my two call outs or call to actions

[00:01:06] or like my two like request Twitters and Blue Sky stuff just got like eaten up by the glut of the feed.

[00:01:15] But yeah, no.

[00:01:16] We've done all of them.

[00:01:18] I don't think that's possible.

[00:01:20] No one writes Jeff stories anymore.

[00:01:22] No one likes them.

[00:01:25] So, anybody out there, if you're listening to this now, and you know of a Jeff the Killer crew pasta...

[00:01:31] No, we've done them all.

[00:01:34] Please send us a link via an email or through one of our social media platforms.

[00:01:42] And the links for those will be at the end of the show.

[00:01:46] We're going to sabotage those as well so you can't actually hear what he's saying.

[00:01:51] But I digress.

[00:01:53] We are opening up the new year with a Vigipasta, a Zelda creepypasta no less.

[00:01:59] So yeah, Midna Soro.

[00:02:02] It's by AllAroundAwesome on Creepepasta.wiki.

[00:02:06] And I suppose we should go on to our initial recommendations before we kickstart this thing in its entirety.

[00:02:12] So, I'm going to partially recommend this, but it borders on like a non-recommendation.

[00:02:20] I'm going to not recommend this.

[00:02:24] I'm also going to not recommend this one.

[00:02:26] All right.

[00:02:28] Well, let's dive in and see why we gave those quite harsh recommendations.

[00:02:33] It might change depending on what we say when we're talking about it, because that's happened before.

[00:02:39] That's true.

[00:02:39] It's like, I kind of didn't like this, but now that you talk about it and we figure out what's going on,

[00:02:43] and maybe it's actually at least half good.

[00:02:46] Yeah.

[00:02:46] Well, that's why we do the show for the most part.

[00:02:50] Well, let's start with the rundown featuring Nair Ator, since we never get a proper name for this character, for the narrator.

[00:02:58] So, Nair loved Twilight Princess when it first came out.

[00:03:02] It was their favorite Zelda game.

[00:03:03] But then, partway through the game, specifically in the Temple of Time dungeon area, Nair got really frustrated with the game and rage quit.

[00:03:13] They left the game for two years before finally coming back around to play the game.

[00:03:19] When they loaded up the game, they noticed their save file was oddly different.

[00:03:25] They didn't have some of the story items they clearly would have received from where they left off.

[00:03:33] And they were back to the starting three hearts that is just a staple of beginning Legend of Zelda games.

[00:03:44] They tried the game anyway and discovered a very different and dark Hyrule.

[00:03:50] Or darker than Twilight Princess's Hyrule.

[00:03:54] It was an endless dark space of Hyrule Field with Midna severely injured on Link's back.

[00:04:01] Link was in his wolf form at this point in the game.

[00:04:05] She was injured? I thought she was just on his back.

[00:04:07] She was injured in the way that like...

[00:04:10] There's a part in the game that this story references where Midna gets blasted by light energy.

[00:04:16] And being a creature of shadow, it wounds her gravely.

[00:04:20] And so there's a whole sequence where you're like carrying her on your back as she is like mortally wounded.

[00:04:25] And there's a whole like...

[00:04:27] That's where the Midna's lament comes from because it's a very sorrowful song that plays as you're epically trying to get her back to Princess Zelda.

[00:04:35] So that she can be able to heal her.

[00:04:39] But yeah, this is the same kind of situation in this situation.

[00:04:42] Or the same situation as is present in the story's gameplay.

[00:04:47] Nair tries to interact with Midna, being one of the few things that he can do in the game.

[00:04:53] And she asks Nair, presumably directly, like why he had abandoned...

[00:05:00] Or why they had abandoned her and Princess Zelda to stop Ganon and Zant, the two villains of the game.

[00:05:07] Nair races Link and Midna through the darkness of the Hyrule Field.

[00:05:13] But eventually gets swallowed up by Shadow.

[00:05:17] Just as Link himself speaks to Midna, something unprecedented.

[00:05:22] Assuring her that he will protect her.

[00:05:25] They end up in the Twilight Realm of the game.

[00:05:28] Midna's home turf.

[00:05:31] And it's here that we get Midna's lament music playing again, replacing the normal music that plays in the Twilight Realm.

[00:05:38] But it is clearly reversed.

[00:05:42] Here, Nair finds Midna eventually in the palace of the Twilight Realm.

[00:05:49] In front of the triumphant villainous bosses of the game.

[00:05:53] And Link ran...

[00:05:54] And as this is happening, Link runs to her aid without Nair controlling him.

[00:06:00] And after this, the characters in the game were attacked with screaming and darkness.

[00:06:06] And the game went back to the main menu screen.

[00:06:10] But with Midna's lament music playing yet again, instead of the normal menu music.

[00:06:17] When Nair tries to select this file again, the game chastises Nair for abandoning the game world.

[00:06:24] And letting it come to this.

[00:06:27] Aren't they so proud?

[00:06:29] Finn.

[00:06:32] So yeah, that was Midna's sorrow.

[00:06:36] And I suppose we should move on to...

[00:06:40] Everyone, Tolerance of Grand Requisitions!

[00:06:42] At this point.

[00:06:44] I've got a couple here.

[00:06:46] Because this story has a bit of a...

[00:06:48] I noticed a couple times in the story, like some of the sentences need to be like retooled a little bit.

[00:06:53] Or like fixed up a little a tad.

[00:06:58] So I'll start with this one here.

[00:07:01] I loved how you can transform into a wolf and see the unseeable as a human.

[00:07:06] And I love how the mood of the game really makes it feel like a really depressing storyline.

[00:07:14] So...

[00:07:14] I think it should have as a human removed in there.

[00:07:18] So like...

[00:07:19] And see the unseeable as a human.

[00:07:22] Because...

[00:07:22] You can't see the unseeable as a human version of Link.

[00:07:25] It's only when you're in wolf Link form.

[00:07:28] So it just doesn't seem to fit there.

[00:07:29] So it's like...

[00:07:31] I love how you can transform into a wolf and see the unseeable.

[00:07:37] So...

[00:07:37] What it should be is...

[00:07:39] I loved how you could transform into a wolf and see the unseeable.

[00:07:42] Comma.

[00:07:42] And as a human, I love how the mood of the game really makes me feel like a really depressing storyline.

[00:07:48] So the depressing storyline is connected to human and the unseeableness is connected to wolf.

[00:07:53] Yeah.

[00:07:54] Because that was a cool thing in the game.

[00:07:56] You could see ghosts and stuff like that as...

[00:07:59] Or you could see ghosts and you could see like...

[00:08:02] Scents and treasures and follow scent trails and stuff like that as a wolf.

[00:08:05] Which you couldn't do as a human.

[00:08:08] So...

[00:08:11] And then we move on to the next sentence here.

[00:08:14] Now, I started playing the game in 2011.

[00:08:17] I was old enough to start using my sister's GameCube.

[00:08:21] And I played with it all the time.

[00:08:23] So I decided to fix this sentence so it reads like this.

[00:08:27] I started playing the game in 2011.

[00:08:29] Which was around the time I was old enough to start playing with my sister's GameCube.

[00:08:33] Period.

[00:08:35] Just...

[00:08:35] Full stop.

[00:08:36] Don't need like...

[00:08:37] I used to play it all the time and I was like...

[00:08:38] Now I started playing...

[00:08:39] Like you don't need...

[00:08:40] You don't have to really start the sentence with like...

[00:08:42] Now I started that.

[00:08:43] Like that's more for like dialogue.

[00:08:45] Than...

[00:08:46] When you're writing a story.

[00:08:48] Even when you're telling a story.

[00:08:50] Yeah.

[00:08:51] But it's like...

[00:08:52] Maybe it's because it's told informally.

[00:08:54] Yeah.

[00:08:55] But like it's...

[00:08:56] The story is being written.

[00:08:57] It's not like...

[00:08:58] It's not technically...

[00:08:59] They're writing it for...

[00:09:00] Like for somebody to read.

[00:09:02] So like...

[00:09:03] Yeah.

[00:09:03] I just feel like it didn't...

[00:09:05] It wasn't necessary to have the now.

[00:09:06] The front now.

[00:09:09] Right meow.

[00:09:10] Right meow.

[00:09:11] Okay.

[00:09:11] Yeah.

[00:09:13] Yeah.

[00:09:13] Um...

[00:09:14] It just felt like it was going on and on.

[00:09:15] It was like...

[00:09:16] Like um...

[00:09:17] At the end of it.

[00:09:17] It was like...

[00:09:19] I was old enough to start using my sister's GameCube.

[00:09:22] And I played with it all the time.

[00:09:23] It's like...

[00:09:23] Oh yeah.

[00:09:23] We got it.

[00:09:24] Like you don't need to double up on that.

[00:09:27] So...

[00:09:29] Uh...

[00:09:30] And then the next thing I have is this one.

[00:09:32] Now don't get me wrong.

[00:09:34] I still play Zelda games.

[00:09:36] But I was sort of avoiding Twilight Princess.

[00:09:38] Since I wasn't really into the game as much as I was then.

[00:09:41] Seeing as though my social life had gotten bigger.

[00:09:45] And I was being more productive aside from just playing video games.

[00:09:50] But...

[00:09:51] I decided to start playing the game.

[00:09:53] I decided to play...

[00:09:54] I decided to start playing it again soon.

[00:09:57] So I had to fix this.

[00:09:59] Because first of all that's a run on sentence.

[00:10:01] Like...

[00:10:03] It's all one sentence.

[00:10:04] Except for after like...

[00:10:06] Uh...

[00:10:06] Like...

[00:10:07] Aside from just playing video games.

[00:10:09] Period.

[00:10:10] But...

[00:10:10] I decided to start playing it again soon.

[00:10:14] No.

[00:10:14] So like...

[00:10:15] Aside from like...

[00:10:16] Yeah.

[00:10:16] So...

[00:10:16] Uh...

[00:10:17] I tried to fix it like this.

[00:10:19] Now don't get me wrong.

[00:10:20] I still...

[00:10:21] I still play Zelda games.

[00:10:22] Period.

[00:10:23] I was just sort of avoiding Twilight Princess.

[00:10:26] Since I was...

[00:10:27] Since I wasn't really...

[00:10:29] Into the game as much as I was then.

[00:10:32] Period.

[00:10:34] My social life had gotten...

[00:10:35] Had also gotten bigger and...

[00:10:38] Sorry.

[00:10:38] My social life had also gotten bigger and I was being...

[00:10:41] More productive aside from just playing video games.

[00:10:44] Period.

[00:10:45] And then...

[00:10:46] Maybe just get rid of that front butt.

[00:10:49] In the next one.

[00:10:51] Um...

[00:10:52] That'll be brought up at all.

[00:10:53] In the future.

[00:10:54] Yeah, I know.

[00:10:55] I'm sure there won't be a conjunction junction.

[00:10:57] No.

[00:10:59] Um...

[00:10:59] But yeah, that's how I'd fix that.

[00:11:00] That run on sentence is add a few periods in there.

[00:11:02] To like break it up into some smaller, more...

[00:11:04] Managrable sentences.

[00:11:06] Um...

[00:11:07] Let the reader have a break.

[00:11:08] Uh...

[00:11:09] And the next one I have here...

[00:11:10] My first file that I was working on...

[00:11:13] That was supposed to have all the fused shadows...

[00:11:16] And a few pieces of the mirror of Twilight...

[00:11:19] Only had two pieces of the fused shadows.

[00:11:22] No mirror of Twilight...

[00:11:25] No mirror of Twilight...

[00:11:26] And I only had three hearts.

[00:11:30] So...

[00:11:30] I feel like it should possibly...

[00:11:33] First off, that's...

[00:11:33] It is kind of fairly run on...

[00:11:35] And actually I didn't put a period in there at all...

[00:11:37] But...

[00:11:38] The big thing I had here was...

[00:11:40] Uh...

[00:11:40] At the beginning we get...

[00:11:41] Um...

[00:11:42] My first file...

[00:11:44] Comma...

[00:11:44] The only one...

[00:11:46] Or...

[00:11:47] The one I had been working through...

[00:11:49] And that was supposed to have all the fused shadows...

[00:11:53] Um...

[00:11:54] And then it keeps going on...

[00:11:55] Like...

[00:11:55] The rest of it...

[00:11:56] Um...

[00:11:57] It's just that...

[00:11:58] First bit there...

[00:11:59] Where it was like...

[00:12:00] My first file that I was working on...

[00:12:02] That was...

[00:12:03] Like...

[00:12:03] It was like...

[00:12:04] That was...

[00:12:06] It kinda sounds like...

[00:12:07] It's meant to be in brackets...

[00:12:09] When it's like...

[00:12:09] My first file...

[00:12:10] Then in brackets...

[00:12:11] Talking about the file...

[00:12:12] Then moving on...

[00:12:13] You know what?

[00:12:13] That would probably fix it as well...

[00:12:14] Because that would...

[00:12:15] Also break it up in a way...

[00:12:18] Or maybe like...

[00:12:20] Um...

[00:12:21] Reorganize it...

[00:12:22] So like...

[00:12:22] My first file is the one that I was working on...

[00:12:25] I had...

[00:12:25] Um...

[00:12:26] This and that and that...

[00:12:27] Period...

[00:12:28] You know...

[00:12:29] Instead of...

[00:12:29] Going that...

[00:12:30] Had this and that...

[00:12:31] Had that...

[00:12:32] Yeah...

[00:12:35] And my final one...

[00:12:37] Is...

[00:12:38] Uh...

[00:12:38] This thing here...

[00:12:39] Is a sentence here...

[00:12:40] And I definitely wasn't stupid enough...

[00:12:43] To not collect...

[00:12:44] Any pieces of hearts...

[00:12:46] On the...

[00:12:47] Uh...

[00:12:47] On the way...

[00:12:48] I was shocked to see all of this...

[00:12:52] So...

[00:12:53] On top of...

[00:12:54] Again...

[00:12:54] Another front end...

[00:12:56] Which I'm sure won't come up again...

[00:12:59] Um...

[00:13:00] I...

[00:13:00] I just feel personally...

[00:13:01] That it should...

[00:13:02] It should read like this...

[00:13:03] Um...

[00:13:04] So it's like...

[00:13:05] Uh...

[00:13:05] I...

[00:13:07] I definitely wasn't...

[00:13:09] Stupid enough...

[00:13:10] Not to...

[00:13:11] Collect...

[00:13:12] Any pieces of heart...

[00:13:13] Uh...

[00:13:14] I feel like...

[00:13:14] Like...

[00:13:15] The way it reads...

[00:13:16] The original sentence...

[00:13:17] It's...

[00:13:17] Uh...

[00:13:18] I definitely wasn't stupid enough...

[00:13:19] To not...

[00:13:20] Collect...

[00:13:21] Any different...

[00:13:21] And personally...

[00:13:22] I feel like it should always be like...

[00:13:24] Stupid enough not to...

[00:13:25] Not...

[00:13:26] To not...

[00:13:29] I mean...

[00:13:30] Potato...

[00:13:31] Potato...

[00:13:31] Yeah...

[00:13:32] That's...

[00:13:33] This is a personal like...

[00:13:34] Yeah...

[00:13:35] Personally...

[00:13:36] I would have preferred like...

[00:13:37] A not to...

[00:13:37] Collect...

[00:13:38] Do not...

[00:13:39] Do not mesh...

[00:13:42] Do not mesh...

[00:13:43] Do not...

[00:13:43] Do not...

[00:13:46] Yeah...

[00:13:50] Uh...

[00:13:51] But that's...

[00:13:51] That's all I got for...

[00:13:52] Uh...

[00:13:53] So...

[00:13:54] Mikey...

[00:13:55] The East Dance Reval...

[00:13:56] I have a conjunction junction...

[00:13:58] What?

[00:13:59] Huh?

[00:14:01] I've seen this coming...

[00:14:02] Ah...

[00:14:03] Curse your...

[00:14:04] Your sudden but inevitable betrayal...

[00:14:08] Um...

[00:14:08] Alright...

[00:14:09] And next stop...

[00:14:10] Conjunction Junction...

[00:14:11] Doot doot...

[00:14:12] But...

[00:14:13] At some point...

[00:14:14] I was stuck on the Temple of Time...

[00:14:17] For a really long time...

[00:14:19] And I had little...

[00:14:21] Uh...

[00:14:21] I had a little rage quit...

[00:14:23] So...

[00:14:23] I put the game down for a while...

[00:14:27] It was about two years...

[00:14:29] Since I played Twilight Princess...

[00:14:31] Which is as long as I've had my Nintendo Wii...

[00:14:34] I got on Christmas...

[00:14:37] But...

[00:14:38] I decided to start playing it again...

[00:14:41] Soon...

[00:14:43] And...

[00:14:43] I definitely wasn't stupid enough...

[00:14:45] To not collect any pieces of hearts...

[00:14:48] On the way...

[00:14:50] Ew...

[00:14:51] Finn...

[00:14:54] Wow...

[00:14:55] Wow...

[00:14:55] I forgot to be a little later on...

[00:15:00] Wow...

[00:15:01] Yeah...

[00:15:01] That's just...

[00:15:02] Yeah...

[00:15:02] No...

[00:15:03] He just...

[00:15:04] He started playing...

[00:15:05] He started playing Twilight Princess...

[00:15:06] But he was not stupid enough to...

[00:15:07] To not get all the hearts...

[00:15:09] That's it...

[00:15:11] I get it...

[00:15:11] Completely mundane...

[00:15:12] Non-scary story at all...

[00:15:13] Yeah...

[00:15:13] Not at all...

[00:15:16] Wow...

[00:15:17] I haven't played that game in a while...

[00:15:18] I started playing it again...

[00:15:19] And I'm glad that I wasn't...

[00:15:21] Dumb enough to not pick up the hearts...

[00:15:23] Finn...

[00:15:24] Boy was it hard...

[00:15:24] Boy was it hard at the end...

[00:15:26] Man...

[00:15:26] It would have been hard...

[00:15:27] If I didn't get all the hearts...

[00:15:28] All the way...

[00:15:31] Yeah...

[00:15:33] Wow...

[00:15:33] But yeah...

[00:15:35] For those unaware...

[00:15:36] Mikey grabs all the sentences...

[00:15:37] Throughout the story...

[00:15:38] That start with words...

[00:15:39] That they probably shouldn't...

[00:15:40] Like...

[00:15:40] It's ends or buts...

[00:15:41] Because there's always better words to use...

[00:15:44] Indeed...

[00:15:45] Gamer...

[00:15:46] Do we have a grammar in yellow?

[00:15:47] No...

[00:15:48] You got mine...

[00:15:49] Alright...

[00:15:50] I apologize...

[00:15:52] It's fine...

[00:15:52] Oh...

[00:15:53] I stole your thunder...

[00:15:54] I must perform Sudoku...

[00:15:55] I have to sound in my family...

[00:16:01] Alright...

[00:16:03] Let's move on to actual thoughts...

[00:16:06] I'm going to start with the...

[00:16:09] The image...

[00:16:12] Not much to say...

[00:16:13] It's...

[00:16:14] It works...

[00:16:15] Because it's...

[00:16:16] It's the character Midna...

[00:16:17] Looking up at the character...

[00:16:18] Looking up at the character...

[00:16:19] Like in the story...

[00:16:20] Is that her inner damage form though?

[00:16:23] It is not...

[00:16:24] It is actually not...

[00:16:25] Not in her damage form...

[00:16:27] Now that I think about it...

[00:16:28] Because she would be a lot more...

[00:16:30] Let me show you...

[00:16:31] Like what her damage form looks like...

[00:16:34] Like...

[00:16:35] It's absolute blasphemy...

[00:16:36] But I've never played this game...

[00:16:38] I mean...

[00:16:39] That's...

[00:16:39] It's...

[00:16:39] That's fine...

[00:16:40] I mean...

[00:16:40] I don't hate you...

[00:16:41] As the gamer in yellow...

[00:16:42] It's absolute blasphemy...

[00:16:44] Yeah...

[00:16:45] I mean like...

[00:16:45] Yeah...

[00:16:45] The thing is like...

[00:16:46] What happens in...

[00:16:47] When she's injured...

[00:16:49] Is actually...

[00:16:49] She goes a little inverted...

[00:16:52] Color wise...

[00:16:53] Yeah...

[00:16:53] Uh...

[00:16:54] Yeah...

[00:16:54] Let me...

[00:16:54] I'll show you the...

[00:16:55] What she looks like...

[00:16:56] A few hours later...

[00:16:58] Yeah...

[00:16:59] That's...

[00:16:59] That's kind of what she looks like...

[00:17:00] When she's injured...

[00:17:01] So honestly...

[00:17:02] Like if they had just like...

[00:17:02] Had like...

[00:17:03] Isolated Midna in this image...

[00:17:05] And like...

[00:17:06] Even just like...

[00:17:07] Reversed the audio...

[00:17:08] Like...

[00:17:08] Not reverse the audio...

[00:17:09] Or like...

[00:17:10] Um...

[00:17:11] Invert that image that was there...

[00:17:12] Invert the image...

[00:17:13] Um...

[00:17:13] And then like put the black back in the...

[00:17:15] In the background...

[00:17:16] Might have actually been more appropriate...

[00:17:17] Because...

[00:17:18] Yeah...

[00:17:18] She is supposed to look like she was...

[00:17:20] Like she was injured when...

[00:17:22] Blasted by the...

[00:17:23] The light energy...

[00:17:24] So...

[00:17:26] Gotcha...

[00:17:29] Um...

[00:17:30] But...

[00:17:31] Yeah...

[00:17:31] That's just a little thing about the image...

[00:17:33] Um...

[00:17:33] It would be good...

[00:17:35] Normally...

[00:17:36] But then...

[00:17:36] You just pointed out...

[00:17:37] Yeah...

[00:17:37] She should be injured properly...

[00:17:39] Fine...

[00:17:39] So fine...

[00:17:42] Um...

[00:17:43] So...

[00:17:43] Move on to the next thing I have here...

[00:17:45] But at some point...

[00:17:46] I was stuck on the Temple of Time...

[00:17:48] For a really long time...

[00:17:50] And I had a little rage quit...

[00:17:52] So I put the game down...

[00:17:54] For a while...

[00:17:55] Shortly afterwards...

[00:17:56] I started getting...

[00:17:57] Into other games...

[00:17:59] Such as...

[00:17:59] Persona 4...

[00:18:00] Golden...

[00:18:01] And Tekken Tag Tournament...

[00:18:03] It was about two years...

[00:18:05] Since I've played...

[00:18:06] Twilight Princess...

[00:18:07] Which is as long as I've had...

[00:18:10] My Nintendo Wii...

[00:18:11] I got for...

[00:18:11] On Christmas...

[00:18:13] And so like...

[00:18:14] Even from like...

[00:18:14] From the get-go...

[00:18:15] Like there's other things...

[00:18:16] That are mentioned in the story...

[00:18:16] It's like man...

[00:18:17] I can kind of relate to this...

[00:18:18] This event...

[00:18:19] Or like these events...

[00:18:20] Because like...

[00:18:20] This reminds me of how...

[00:18:23] I got Skyward Sword...

[00:18:24] And Skyrim...

[00:18:24] In the same Christmas...

[00:18:26] And I played a little bit of Skyward Sword...

[00:18:28] Got frustrated...

[00:18:29] And started playing Skyrim instead...

[00:18:31] And I didn't touch...

[00:18:32] Skyward Sword...

[00:18:33] For like two to three years...

[00:18:35] That's exactly what...

[00:18:37] What happened here...

[00:18:38] Yeah exactly...

[00:18:39] And even like...

[00:18:40] The character like...

[00:18:41] Near the beginning...

[00:18:42] Like mentioning...

[00:18:42] Like the storyline...

[00:18:44] How much they love Twilight Princess...

[00:18:45] And stuff like that...

[00:18:46] And the game really reminded them of...

[00:18:48] Soul Eater...

[00:18:48] Which is an anime...

[00:18:50] And that was good enough for them...

[00:18:52] It's like...

[00:18:52] Yo...

[00:18:53] Like legitimately...

[00:18:53] I'm this person...

[00:18:55] Like...

[00:18:56] I do...

[00:18:57] Like I love...

[00:18:57] Twilight Princess is probably...

[00:18:59] Like...

[00:19:00] It's...

[00:19:00] It's...

[00:19:01] It's kind of like...

[00:19:02] Between it...

[00:19:03] And...

[00:19:03] And Majora's Mask...

[00:19:05] Were like...

[00:19:06] My penultimate like...

[00:19:07] Growing up...

[00:19:09] Like video games...

[00:19:10] Or like Zelda games...

[00:19:11] Is the Temple of Time in that game...

[00:19:13] Akin to the Water Temple?

[00:19:16] Not...

[00:19:17] Not really...

[00:19:18] Um...

[00:19:19] I honestly don't think there...

[00:19:20] I think the Water Temple is more akin to the Water Temple...

[00:19:23] In...

[00:19:24] Uh...

[00:19:24] I guess that makes sense...

[00:19:26] Doesn't it?

[00:19:26] Like...

[00:19:27] Because it is also like a very like...

[00:19:29] You're going back and forth...

[00:19:30] Like...

[00:19:31] Back and forth between like...

[00:19:32] Different levels...

[00:19:33] Trying to like...

[00:19:34] Like...

[00:19:35] Basically lower the water level...

[00:19:36] As well...

[00:19:37] So yeah...

[00:19:38] You're literally doing the same shit all over again in that...

[00:19:40] In that game as well...

[00:19:41] Yeah...

[00:19:41] You're trying to rate...

[00:19:42] I think...

[00:19:43] Yeah...

[00:19:43] You're trying to raise the water level...

[00:19:44] Rather than like...

[00:19:45] Lower...

[00:19:45] Uh...

[00:19:46] No...

[00:19:46] You're trying to lower it in the...

[00:19:47] In...

[00:19:47] In...

[00:19:47] Arcade Time as well...

[00:19:49] So yeah...

[00:19:50] Um...

[00:19:50] It's fucking a lot...

[00:19:51] But yeah...

[00:19:52] Yeah...

[00:19:52] Yeah...

[00:19:53] I can't...

[00:19:53] I mean...

[00:19:53] There are a couple puzzles that...

[00:19:55] Like...

[00:19:55] In...

[00:19:55] In the...

[00:19:56] In the Temple of Time that might have been...

[00:19:59] Annoying...

[00:20:00] But like...

[00:20:00] Because I actually recently played the Twilight Princess...

[00:20:03] Like...

[00:20:03] Not...

[00:20:03] Not recently...

[00:20:04] But like...

[00:20:04] Like this year I started playing...

[00:20:05] The HD version...

[00:20:07] Yeah...

[00:20:08] Um...

[00:20:09] And...

[00:20:10] I don't think it was terrible...

[00:20:13] I don't know...

[00:20:14] I don't think I had a hell of a time with the...

[00:20:16] With the Temple of Time...

[00:20:17] But...

[00:20:17] I digress...

[00:20:19] Um...

[00:20:19] Also like...

[00:20:19] Just...

[00:20:20] Again...

[00:20:20] That isn't...

[00:20:21] Sorry...

[00:20:21] Go ahead...

[00:20:22] Oh no...

[00:20:22] Just like...

[00:20:23] And just like...

[00:20:24] The character like referencing like Soul Eater...

[00:20:25] Like how...

[00:20:26] Like how...

[00:20:26] Reminded...

[00:20:26] That's like...

[00:20:27] Yeah...

[00:20:27] No...

[00:20:27] Legit...

[00:20:28] Like I was...

[00:20:28] I love Soul Eater...

[00:20:29] Like that's one of my favorite animes...

[00:20:31] Um...

[00:20:31] I didn't know what it was...

[00:20:32] I assumed it was a game...

[00:20:33] Because there's a couple of games called Soul Eater...

[00:20:35] It's like I guess it's one of those...

[00:20:36] Moving on...

[00:20:37] I'm pretty sure it's...

[00:20:38] Yeah...

[00:20:38] I'm pretty sure they're referencing the anime...

[00:20:39] Because it's like...

[00:20:40] It came out around the same time...

[00:20:41] As Twilight Princess...

[00:20:43] Um...

[00:20:44] And it's...

[00:20:45] It has like a...

[00:20:45] Similarly like...

[00:20:46] Kind of like dark...

[00:20:47] Like they're...

[00:20:48] They're mentioning...

[00:20:48] Oh like depressing storyline...

[00:20:49] I think...

[00:20:50] I think maybe it's more like the dark...

[00:20:51] Kind of brooding atmosphere...

[00:20:53] And like setting...

[00:20:54] Um...

[00:20:55] Which is kind of what Soul Eater has...

[00:20:56] Um...

[00:20:57] Because it's like...

[00:20:58] Basically you are...

[00:20:59] Like the characters in the anime are...

[00:21:01] Um...

[00:21:02] Weapon Meisters...

[00:21:03] Like they're...

[00:21:03] They're weapon masters...

[00:21:04] And their weapons are living beings...

[00:21:06] And they live in...

[00:21:07] In...

[00:21:07] The Grim Reaper's city...

[00:21:10] Which is very like...

[00:21:11] Gothic...

[00:21:12] And like stylized...

[00:21:13] With like...

[00:21:13] Spookiness and stuff...

[00:21:15] So...

[00:21:15] Should be...

[00:21:17] Yeah...

[00:21:18] Um...

[00:21:19] But yeah...

[00:21:19] So in regards to...

[00:21:21] The character...

[00:21:22] Like getting...

[00:21:23] Rage quitting a game...

[00:21:24] And then not picking up for two years...

[00:21:26] That's like...

[00:21:26] The worst thing to do...

[00:21:28] Because if you rage quit from a game...

[00:21:30] Because it's difficult...

[00:21:31] Picking up two years later...

[00:21:32] You ain't gonna remember how to do anything...

[00:21:33] So then you have to relearn the game...

[00:21:35] And then go back and do this thing...

[00:21:37] Super difficult...

[00:21:38] Yeah...

[00:21:38] I mean like hell...

[00:21:39] Like...

[00:21:39] How many times have you like...

[00:21:40] Played a game for a little bit...

[00:21:41] And then like stopped...

[00:21:42] Like not even rage quitting...

[00:21:43] Or like...

[00:21:44] Even like at a hard place...

[00:21:45] Yeah...

[00:21:46] But like come back to it...

[00:21:47] And like you're almost better off...

[00:21:48] Just...

[00:21:49] Restarting the entire game...

[00:21:51] From the beginning...

[00:21:51] So you have context...

[00:21:53] I hate...

[00:21:53] It could be tutorialed again...

[00:21:55] Yeah exactly...

[00:21:56] Like...

[00:21:56] Like I kind of...

[00:21:57] I relate to that...

[00:21:57] That sentiment in this story...

[00:21:59] Of like...

[00:21:59] That like...

[00:22:00] I think that's kind of what the story is...

[00:22:01] Kind of trying to evoke...

[00:22:02] Which I'll get to later in my notes...

[00:22:04] Here...

[00:22:05] Um...

[00:22:05] It's just the...

[00:22:06] That feeling of like...

[00:22:08] Coming back to a game...

[00:22:09] And like...

[00:22:09] Where the fuck am I?

[00:22:11] Like what the...

[00:22:12] Like having that...

[00:22:12] That sense of...

[00:22:13] Not dread...

[00:22:14] But like anxiety...

[00:22:15] Of like where am I?

[00:22:16] Like what am I supposed to do?

[00:22:18] What am I...

[00:22:19] Like trying...

[00:22:19] That recall...

[00:22:20] That like...

[00:22:20] That kind of foreboding recall...

[00:22:22] Of like what you're trying to do...

[00:22:24] As you're recontextualizing...

[00:22:26] Like what you were doing in the game...

[00:22:29] Yeah...

[00:22:31] Um...

[00:22:31] But I'll move on to the next thing I have here...

[00:22:35] Um...

[00:22:36] There was a quick white flash...

[00:22:38] On the title screen...

[00:22:39] But I figured...

[00:22:40] It was just a small error...

[00:22:41] Since I hadn't touched the game...

[00:22:43] I haven't touched the game...

[00:22:44] In a while...

[00:22:46] And I mean...

[00:22:47] So like...

[00:22:47] They're playing this game on the Wii...

[00:22:49] Which like you can play...

[00:22:49] You can actually play GameCube games...

[00:22:51] On the Wii...

[00:22:52] Or at least the older Wii consoles...

[00:22:55] And I mean like...

[00:22:55] When I heard this...

[00:22:56] And like...

[00:22:56] This is obviously trying to be like a red flag...

[00:22:58] Like oh no...

[00:22:59] The game's glitchy...

[00:22:59] And oh there's like a forebodingness...

[00:23:02] Um...

[00:23:02] But like really like...

[00:23:03] This could have just been like...

[00:23:04] The white blank screen...

[00:23:05] That like kind of kicks in sometimes...

[00:23:06] When you load up a game...

[00:23:08] In the...

[00:23:09] On the Wii...

[00:23:10] You know...

[00:23:11] Like that sometimes happens...

[00:23:12] Like right before like you...

[00:23:13] Like engage the game...

[00:23:14] Like as it's loading...

[00:23:15] They'll like flash white...

[00:23:16] And then like kind of kick back in...

[00:23:19] So...

[00:23:20] Like maybe they're...

[00:23:21] They're actually trying to describe it a little bit more like...

[00:23:23] Differently than that...

[00:23:25] But...

[00:23:25] To me it just seems...

[00:23:26] It doesn't seem like as weird as they're trying to make it to be...

[00:23:29] Well...

[00:23:29] Even like the character...

[00:23:31] Writes it off as just a weird glitch...

[00:23:34] On that first one...

[00:23:35] So the first one isn't the problem...

[00:23:36] It's what follows...

[00:23:37] Yeah...

[00:23:38] It's the Ben Drowned aspect...

[00:23:39] Aspect is like...

[00:23:40] What's wrong with my save file?

[00:23:43] What's wrong with the save file?

[00:23:44] Like why...

[00:23:45] What?

[00:23:50] But I'll move on to the next thing I have...

[00:23:54] Um...

[00:23:54] Actually this is also something about like...

[00:23:57] Uh...

[00:23:57] Yeah so this is...

[00:23:58] This is kind of where I'm getting at with...

[00:23:59] Uh...

[00:23:59] From earlier about like the...

[00:24:00] The melancholy of the...

[00:24:01] Horror of the game and...

[00:24:04] And uh...

[00:24:05] This is where I was also referencing some...

[00:24:08] Vigipasta tropes...

[00:24:09] That I was picking up in this story...

[00:24:10] Um...

[00:24:11] No text box appeared...

[00:24:13] But the camera did zoom to Minda's face...

[00:24:15] She had a very depressed look on her...

[00:24:18] A very depressed look on...

[00:24:20] And...

[00:24:21] Her fused shadow piece...

[00:24:23] Was a bit cracked...

[00:24:25] Her voice was heard...

[00:24:27] Her actual voice...

[00:24:28] I mean...

[00:24:29] And she spoke...

[00:24:31] In non-gibberish words...

[00:24:33] Link...

[00:24:34] Where...

[00:24:35] Where were you all this time?

[00:24:37] You were...

[00:24:38] You were gone for so long...

[00:24:40] We've lost all our possessions...

[00:24:42] I was so sad...

[00:24:44] And...

[00:24:44] Zelda...

[00:24:47] She...

[00:24:48] Ah...

[00:24:48] So...

[00:24:49] We're going this route...

[00:24:51] With this Vigipasta...

[00:24:52] Where the game feels abandoned...

[00:24:56] Um...

[00:24:57] We've seen this before...

[00:24:58] Technically...

[00:24:59] In some of the older like...

[00:25:00] Pokepastas we covered...

[00:25:02] Um...

[00:25:03] Where like...

[00:25:04] You...

[00:25:04] Poke-on themselves are abandoned...

[00:25:06] Yeah...

[00:25:06] And like they're sickly or dead...

[00:25:08] In your game...

[00:25:09] And like you...

[00:25:10] There's this like...

[00:25:10] Morose or like...

[00:25:12] Like lamenting...

[00:25:15] Sadness that you're...

[00:25:15] The character feels...

[00:25:16] And like the reader is supposed to feel as well...

[00:25:18] Because like this character...

[00:25:19] Like...

[00:25:20] They thought they were just playing...

[00:25:21] Haha playing this game...

[00:25:22] Alright I'm gonna turn it off...

[00:25:23] And then they don't touch it for years...

[00:25:24] On years...

[00:25:25] And then they come back to it...

[00:25:26] And they find like...

[00:25:27] All their Pokemon are like...

[00:25:28] Like...

[00:25:28] Are like dead...

[00:25:29] Or because they were abandoned...

[00:25:31] Um...

[00:25:32] It's very...

[00:25:33] It's a very common...

[00:25:34] Video game trope of like...

[00:25:37] Um...

[00:25:38] Uh...

[00:25:38] Just this like...

[00:25:39] This melancholy horror of...

[00:25:41] Um...

[00:25:43] Uh...

[00:25:43] Of...

[00:25:44] Yeah...

[00:25:44] Abandon...

[00:25:45] Like abandoning a save file...

[00:25:46] In a video game...

[00:25:47] It's like uh...

[00:25:48] Abandoning your childhood...

[00:25:49] Abandoning your nostalgia...

[00:25:51] Um...

[00:25:52] And I know that's kind of hit or miss with our show...

[00:25:54] With us...

[00:25:55] Um...

[00:25:56] And...

[00:25:57] And with audiences sometimes...

[00:25:58] Um...

[00:25:58] I...

[00:25:59] I personally like the concept...

[00:26:01] I do think...

[00:26:02] It would actually be a really cool idea to explore...

[00:26:06] Um...

[00:26:06] In a sci-fi horror game...

[00:26:08] Uh...

[00:26:08] Or even like a game scenario...

[00:26:10] Say like in Shadowrun...

[00:26:11] Sorry Mikey...

[00:26:12] Uh...

[00:26:12] And I guess at this point...

[00:26:14] Gamer?

[00:26:14] Because like...

[00:26:15] Last couple of years...

[00:26:16] Last couple of uh...

[00:26:18] Episodes...

[00:26:19] Uh...

[00:26:19] We've just...

[00:26:20] I've just been like...

[00:26:21] Coming up with ideas...

[00:26:23] Based off the creepostas...

[00:26:24] For...

[00:26:24] To torment you with...

[00:26:26] In our Shadowrun campaign...

[00:26:27] So...

[00:26:27] I can expect it at this point...

[00:26:29] Yeah...

[00:26:30] Um...

[00:26:30] But I could also see this happening in other sci-fi...

[00:26:32] Like shot in our games as well...

[00:26:33] Like Eclipse Phase...

[00:26:34] Where they deal with like VR...

[00:26:36] And like augmented reality...

[00:26:37] And stuff like that...

[00:26:38] Uh...

[00:26:39] Or even like...

[00:26:39] A game like Little Fears...

[00:26:41] Where you're playing as kids...

[00:26:41] Because like this would also really work with uh...

[00:26:43] Like that kind of situation...

[00:26:45] Where you're playing as kids...

[00:26:47] And...

[00:26:47] You remember this game that you were playing...

[00:26:49] Like two years ago...

[00:26:50] And you finally find it again...

[00:26:51] And when you...

[00:26:51] You pick it up and start playing...

[00:26:52] You find like all your characters...

[00:26:54] Uh...

[00:26:55] Are abandoned...

[00:26:55] Or like the spirits of your game characters...

[00:26:57] Like feel abandoned...

[00:26:58] They start haunting you in real life...

[00:27:00] Um...

[00:27:01] The problem is that that...

[00:27:02] When you're telling that kind of story...

[00:27:03] It has to be done bigger than...

[00:27:06] And more dramatically...

[00:27:08] Than what a lot of them end up doing...

[00:27:10] Because it has to make...

[00:27:11] You have to make us...

[00:27:12] The reader care...

[00:27:14] Uh...

[00:27:15] And...

[00:27:15] And when you're making it...

[00:27:16] Like when you...

[00:27:16] When you leave it into...

[00:27:17] Confined to a game cartridge...

[00:27:19] Into a...

[00:27:20] In a console...

[00:27:21] It can sometimes...

[00:27:23] Weaken the...

[00:27:24] Experience that you're trying to invoke...

[00:27:27] Um...

[00:27:28] Yeah...

[00:27:28] With a certain audience...

[00:27:29] Like...

[00:27:30] Like I've...

[00:27:31] I don't know if I've necessarily...

[00:27:32] Like been terrified by these ideas...

[00:27:34] But I have felt sad about it...

[00:27:35] But I know like...

[00:27:36] Again Mikey like...

[00:27:37] Has a disconnect...

[00:27:38] Because like usually you feel like...

[00:27:39] It's like a dream sequence thing...

[00:27:40] Or it's like oh it's just a dream...

[00:27:41] Yeah...

[00:27:41] It can't hurt me...

[00:27:43] Well...

[00:27:43] It...

[00:27:45] I feel like...

[00:27:46] It would have been better...

[00:27:47] If we gotten more...

[00:27:49] And say he started a new save file...

[00:27:51] Yeah...

[00:27:52] But...

[00:27:53] Midna was still dead...

[00:27:54] Or whatever...

[00:27:55] Or like...

[00:27:56] There's a second Midna...

[00:27:57] Like a ghost of...

[00:27:58] Like a Midna's shade...

[00:27:59] That's like stalking him...

[00:28:01] In his current gameplay...

[00:28:02] Game through...

[00:28:03] And fucking him over...

[00:28:04] In the game...

[00:28:05] Because it's basically his ex...

[00:28:07] It's like this doesn't change...

[00:28:09] What you did...

[00:28:10] Yeah...

[00:28:11] It's like again...

[00:28:12] Like the idea of like...

[00:28:13] This idea of like...

[00:28:14] A virtual space...

[00:28:15] Or a virtual reality...

[00:28:16] Or a game...

[00:28:17] Um...

[00:28:18] That kept on going...

[00:28:20] Despite the fact that you...

[00:28:21] That it should have been frozen in time...

[00:28:23] Because it like...

[00:28:24] Because you paused and stopped the game...

[00:28:26] Um...

[00:28:27] And it...

[00:28:27] Because of that...

[00:28:28] It...

[00:28:29] Because the hero wasn't there...

[00:28:30] The world...

[00:28:31] The world...

[00:28:32] Uh...

[00:28:32] In the game...

[00:28:33] Declined or faded away...

[00:28:34] Or corrupted by stagnation...

[00:28:36] Um...

[00:28:37] Because it didn't...

[00:28:38] It wasn't able to interact with the user...

[00:28:40] I...

[00:28:40] I like...

[00:28:40] I like that idea...

[00:28:41] It just...

[00:28:42] It definitely needs to be done...

[00:28:44] Bigger...

[00:28:45] Well...

[00:28:46] And...

[00:28:47] The thing...

[00:28:48] That...

[00:28:49] Uh...

[00:28:50] Sort of irks me...

[00:28:51] Is that there are games that do this...

[00:28:54] Yeah...

[00:28:55] Like...

[00:28:55] The...

[00:28:55] The classic example is Animal Crossing...

[00:28:58] Mm-hmm...

[00:28:59] Yep...

[00:28:59] Uh...

[00:29:00] Because...

[00:29:01] In Animal Crossing...

[00:29:02] Like weeds will grow...

[00:29:04] And...

[00:29:04] What not...

[00:29:05] And...

[00:29:06] When you talk to someone...

[00:29:07] After you haven't...

[00:29:08] Uh...

[00:29:09] Played the game...

[00:29:10] For a while...

[00:29:11] It says...

[00:29:11] Oh...

[00:29:12] I haven't seen you...

[00:29:13] In so many days...

[00:29:15] Type thing...

[00:29:16] Yeah...

[00:29:16] Like...

[00:29:17] Where have you been?

[00:29:18] I think...

[00:29:18] Something similar...

[00:29:19] Also happens...

[00:29:20] I think in Undertale...

[00:29:21] Although I haven't...

[00:29:22] Like scratched that game yet...

[00:29:23] Like really gotten into that game...

[00:29:24] But I've heard...

[00:29:25] Like...

[00:29:25] Apparently...

[00:29:26] If you...

[00:29:27] If you kill a few characters...

[00:29:28] And then decide you want to...

[00:29:29] Go do a pacifist run...

[00:29:30] And you...

[00:29:30] You restart the game...

[00:29:31] Apparently...

[00:29:32] Unless you like...

[00:29:33] Completely like...

[00:29:33] Wipe the game off your computer...

[00:29:35] The game remembers...

[00:29:37] What you tried to do...

[00:29:38] And like...

[00:29:38] Like...

[00:29:39] You can't...

[00:29:39] You can't come...

[00:29:40] You can't go back from...

[00:29:41] What you just did...

[00:29:43] Like...

[00:29:43] I've heard that's...

[00:29:44] Something that they did in Undertale...

[00:29:45] Where like...

[00:29:46] If you try to like...

[00:29:46] Oh shoot...

[00:29:47] I accidentally killed this character...

[00:29:48] I want to do a pacifist run...

[00:29:49] And you go...

[00:29:49] You restart the game...

[00:29:51] The game starts chastising you...

[00:29:52] For what...

[00:29:53] For just...

[00:29:53] Oh you thought you could just...

[00:29:54] Restart the game...

[00:29:55] And restart...

[00:29:56] And like...

[00:29:56] Do a pacifist run...

[00:29:57] No you...

[00:29:57] You gotta live with your actions sir...

[00:29:59] And that's...

[00:30:00] That's kind of what it is...

[00:30:01] Is like...

[00:30:01] You...

[00:30:02] It's the horror of having these...

[00:30:03] Consequences...

[00:30:04] Unforeseen consequences...

[00:30:06] Yeah...

[00:30:07] Um...

[00:30:07] And yeah...

[00:30:08] Like I...

[00:30:08] I think...

[00:30:08] Yeah...

[00:30:08] Some games do...

[00:30:09] Other games do do that...

[00:30:10] But I think like...

[00:30:11] For a story...

[00:30:12] When you're trying to like...

[00:30:12] Invoke that kind of like...

[00:30:13] You abandoned your childhood...

[00:30:15] You abandoned your...

[00:30:16] Uh...

[00:30:17] You abandoned something...

[00:30:18] And you weren't expecting...

[00:30:18] To have consequences...

[00:30:19] As a result of it...

[00:30:21] Um...

[00:30:21] It has...

[00:30:22] It has to be done...

[00:30:23] A little bit more bombastically...

[00:30:24] Uh...

[00:30:24] Or a little bit more directly...

[00:30:26] Toward the...

[00:30:26] The player...

[00:30:27] Character...

[00:30:28] Or the...

[00:30:28] Uh...

[00:30:29] Or the...

[00:30:29] Like...

[00:30:30] The main protagonist...

[00:30:31] Uh...

[00:30:32] So that the reader...

[00:30:33] Feels a little more impacted...

[00:30:34] Uh...

[00:30:34] Again like...

[00:30:35] See like...

[00:30:35] An idea of...

[00:30:36] Like what if Midna's Shadow...

[00:30:38] Like Midna's Shade...

[00:30:39] Started stalking Nair...

[00:30:41] In the real world...

[00:30:42] After they picked up the game...

[00:30:43] And like...

[00:30:43] It shut off on them...

[00:30:44] And then now...

[00:30:44] Now they're just being chastised...

[00:30:46] By the ghost of a...

[00:30:46] Of a video game character...

[00:30:48] They left abandoned...

[00:30:49] In a...

[00:30:49] Doomed...

[00:30:50] World state...

[00:30:52] So...

[00:30:52] It's got to be something that...

[00:30:53] The player doesn't already...

[00:30:55] Know would happen...

[00:30:56] If they didn't...

[00:30:57] Like beat the game...

[00:30:58] Like...

[00:30:58] If Link doesn't save the day...

[00:31:00] Ganon's gonna win...

[00:31:01] And this is what's gonna happen...

[00:31:03] It's basically...

[00:31:04] This story is basically...

[00:31:06] You stop playing the game...

[00:31:08] And it went on without you...

[00:31:10] And that thing that you knew...

[00:31:11] Was gonna happen...

[00:31:12] Happened...

[00:31:13] Yeah...

[00:31:14] Um...

[00:31:15] Yeah exactly...

[00:31:16] I do...

[00:31:16] I...

[00:31:17] There is a one...

[00:31:17] There isn't even something...

[00:31:18] That's referenced in the story...

[00:31:19] That I was like...

[00:31:20] Oh like that...

[00:31:21] It would have been really cool...

[00:31:21] If they had done something...

[00:31:22] Like kind of what Mikey was talking about...

[00:31:23] With like...

[00:31:24] How um...

[00:31:25] Uh...

[00:31:26] Animal Crossing does it...

[00:31:27] Where like...

[00:31:28] Long grass grows and stuff like that...

[00:31:29] So there's a...

[00:31:30] There's a part in the story where it's uh...

[00:31:31] I decided to check the items menu...

[00:31:33] To see what I had...

[00:31:35] And all I really did have...

[00:31:37] Was the slingshot...

[00:31:38] Some water bombs...

[00:31:39] And the fishing rod...

[00:31:40] I also had a...

[00:31:42] A half bottle of milk...

[00:31:44] And when I read that...

[00:31:45] I was like...

[00:31:45] Oh it would have been really cool...

[00:31:46] If the milk had curdled...

[00:31:48] Or gone bad...

[00:31:49] In the description...

[00:31:51] Like...

[00:31:51] Just to show like...

[00:31:52] Yeah...

[00:31:52] Cause it's...

[00:31:53] The sword was like...

[00:31:54] Completely covered in rust or something...

[00:31:56] Yeah exactly...

[00:31:57] And like...

[00:31:57] Yeah...

[00:31:58] The bombs have gotten...

[00:31:59] Like they've gone inert...

[00:32:00] As a result...

[00:32:02] Uh...

[00:32:02] Like yeah...

[00:32:03] Stuff like that...

[00:32:03] Like that would have been really interesting...

[00:32:04] Like oh yeah...

[00:32:05] You left these bombs...

[00:32:06] Or these bombs...

[00:32:06] These items look a lot more haggard...

[00:32:08] As if they were like...

[00:32:08] Kind of just like...

[00:32:09] Cobbled together...

[00:32:10] In a post-apocalyptic...

[00:32:12] Kind of situation...

[00:32:12] Or a scavenge situation...

[00:32:14] Rather than...

[00:32:15] What the character got...

[00:32:17] They've had no...

[00:32:18] No time for care...

[00:32:19] To be done to them...

[00:32:19] To keep them maintained...

[00:32:21] Since apparently the...

[00:32:22] Uh...

[00:32:23] The...

[00:32:23] The stasis ability...

[00:32:25] Of the stasis effect...

[00:32:26] Of like the menus...

[00:32:26] And so that...

[00:32:27] May not apply...

[00:32:28] Because like the rest of the world...

[00:32:29] Did not enter a stasis...

[00:32:30] When uh...

[00:32:32] When uh...

[00:32:33] The player...

[00:32:34] Abandoned the game for two years...

[00:32:37] Um...

[00:32:38] And like...

[00:32:39] In regards to the uh...

[00:32:41] Um...

[00:32:42] The equipment...

[00:32:43] It's kind of...

[00:32:44] It's not kind of...

[00:32:46] It is absolutely...

[00:32:47] Underused...

[00:32:48] Cause like...

[00:32:48] All these things are listed...

[00:32:50] But like...

[00:32:51] He doesn't do anything with them...

[00:32:52] They're just there...

[00:32:53] It's funny too...

[00:32:54] Cause like...

[00:32:54] Somebody in the comments of this...

[00:32:56] Actually said like...

[00:32:56] It's like...

[00:32:57] Oh man...

[00:32:57] Like...

[00:32:58] You totally could have like...

[00:32:59] Uh...

[00:32:59] Could have stopped Ganon...

[00:33:00] At the end of this game...

[00:33:01] Uh...

[00:33:01] At the end of this...

[00:33:02] Uh...

[00:33:02] This thing...

[00:33:03] Cause uh...

[00:33:03] You could use the fishing rod...

[00:33:04] To uh...

[00:33:05] To uh...

[00:33:06] To uh...

[00:33:07] Bait Ganon away from...

[00:33:09] Uh...

[00:33:09] And open...

[00:33:10] Uh...

[00:33:10] Open him up to a...

[00:33:11] To an attack...

[00:33:12] Cause apparently that's something you can do...

[00:33:14] In Twilight Princess...

[00:33:14] When you're like...

[00:33:15] Fighting the boar version of Ganon...

[00:33:16] In Twilight Princess...

[00:33:17] Is you can pull out your...

[00:33:18] Your fishing rod...

[00:33:19] And like...

[00:33:20] Lure him away...

[00:33:21] Like draw him off to a direct...

[00:33:22] In a direction...

[00:33:23] So that you can like...

[00:33:24] Get a good shot on him...

[00:33:27] Yeah...

[00:33:28] Love that...

[00:33:29] But yeah...

[00:33:29] Like...

[00:33:30] Yeah...

[00:33:30] Um...

[00:33:31] And again like...

[00:33:32] It's interesting cause like...

[00:33:32] I did see like a lot of people in the comments...

[00:33:34] Also like saying that this is like...

[00:33:35] Their favorite creep pasta...

[00:33:36] And stuff like that...

[00:33:36] And like...

[00:33:37] I think it's probably because like...

[00:33:38] This came out in 2013...

[00:33:39] This story...

[00:33:40] So it's like...

[00:33:41] Probably like again...

[00:33:42] A lot of younger kids...

[00:33:43] Or like...

[00:33:43] Younger readers...

[00:33:44] Uh...

[00:33:45] Like read this...

[00:33:45] And kind of familiarized with it...

[00:33:47] But like...

[00:33:48] For us...

[00:33:49] Like reading this...

[00:33:49] It's like...

[00:33:50] It's...

[00:33:51] Tame...

[00:33:51] Compared to what it could be...

[00:33:53] Mm-hmm...

[00:33:53] With like how it goes...

[00:33:57] Um...

[00:33:57] I think that might...

[00:33:58] There's stuff like the princess...

[00:34:00] And stuff like that...

[00:34:00] Oh my god...

[00:34:01] Which is similar...

[00:34:02] And it's like...

[00:34:03] Yeah...

[00:34:03] Way more...

[00:34:04] Yeah...

[00:34:04] Like...

[00:34:04] Like that...

[00:34:05] In that...

[00:34:05] That's one...

[00:34:06] Again like it's an abandoned...

[00:34:07] Like it's vaporware...

[00:34:09] It's a...

[00:34:09] It was a game that never existed...

[00:34:11] But it's creator...

[00:34:12] It's creation is still like...

[00:34:15] Alive...

[00:34:15] For all intents and purposes...

[00:34:17] And it...

[00:34:18] It wants to be...

[00:34:19] It wants to exist...

[00:34:20] And like it goes into a horrible situation of like...

[00:34:23] It comes out of the game and kills you...

[00:34:26] And then comes...

[00:34:26] It goes back into the game...

[00:34:27] And it can infiltrate other games...

[00:34:29] Like yeah...

[00:34:30] Yeah...

[00:34:31] But like that makes you feel...

[00:34:33] For the...

[00:34:34] Uh...

[00:34:34] The non-playable character...

[00:34:36] Where in this...

[00:34:37] Midna's just like...

[00:34:38] You left me...

[00:34:39] That was bad...

[00:34:40] Yeah...

[00:34:40] And like...

[00:34:40] I don't know...

[00:34:41] Well that...

[00:34:42] That could definitely be fixed again...

[00:34:43] If like...

[00:34:44] It...

[00:34:44] She started like appearing...

[00:34:46] Kind of like...

[00:34:46] Either the story clearly kind of draws inspiration from like...

[00:34:49] Other creeppastas...

[00:34:50] Or like...

[00:34:50] Or has like that kind of same like...

[00:34:52] Motif...

[00:34:53] So like you could have something like...

[00:34:54] Again...

[00:34:54] Use some of the tropes to your advantage...

[00:34:56] Like...

[00:34:57] Have the game creature or character as a ghost...

[00:35:00] Or an apparition...

[00:35:01] Start appearing...

[00:35:02] Uh...

[00:35:03] After the fact...

[00:35:03] After this experience...

[00:35:04] Like...

[00:35:05] Develop the story even further...

[00:35:06] And have the...

[00:35:07] Uh...

[00:35:08] The character Midna...

[00:35:09] Like...

[00:35:10] Chastising them in real life...

[00:35:11] And like...

[00:35:13] Cause like...

[00:35:13] That's how much this game has affected them...

[00:35:15] And then you either have a psychological horror...

[00:35:17] Where like...

[00:35:17] Your character is...

[00:35:18] The protagonist in this...

[00:35:20] Is just like...

[00:35:22] Spiraling...

[00:35:22] From like...

[00:35:23] How...

[00:35:24] How...

[00:35:25] Deeply this apparently affected them...

[00:35:27] Or...

[00:35:27] It's actually supernatural...

[00:35:29] And like...

[00:35:29] It is actually the ghost of a dead...

[00:35:31] Character that you abandoned...

[00:35:36] Um...

[00:35:36] Cause yeah...

[00:35:37] Like this game also has like...

[00:35:38] A bunch of like...

[00:35:39] Like...

[00:35:39] Creep pasta...

[00:35:40] Or...

[00:35:40] Vigipasta...

[00:35:41] Like tropes and stuff in it...

[00:35:42] And it's just like...

[00:35:43] You gotta...

[00:35:43] You...

[00:35:44] It's great to have those...

[00:35:45] Like sometimes...

[00:35:46] You gotta push those...

[00:35:47] Uh...

[00:35:47] Like...

[00:35:48] Those...

[00:35:48] A fair amount...

[00:35:49] Like...

[00:35:49] For instance...

[00:35:51] The next thing I had actually here was...

[00:35:52] Um...

[00:35:53] The Twilight Realms theme...

[00:35:54] Was playing in reverse...

[00:35:57] And...

[00:35:57] Oh...

[00:35:57] It wasn't the Midna's theme...

[00:35:59] It was actually...

[00:35:59] It was the Twilight...

[00:36:00] Uh...

[00:36:00] Realms theme...

[00:36:01] Okay...

[00:36:01] My bad...

[00:36:03] Um...

[00:36:04] Um...

[00:36:04] It's cause they reference Midna's Lament...

[00:36:05] Like so much...

[00:36:06] And it is like an iconic Twilight Princess theme...

[00:36:08] Cause like that whole sequence is so good...

[00:36:11] It's...

[00:36:12] Like...

[00:36:13] So dramatic and so good...

[00:36:14] Like that music is awesome...

[00:36:15] But...

[00:36:16] Yeah...

[00:36:16] The Twilight Realm theme...

[00:36:17] Uh...

[00:36:17] Was playing in reverse...

[00:36:19] And it was a little unnerving...

[00:36:21] So...

[00:36:21] Creepy inverted game music...

[00:36:24] Check...

[00:36:26] Yeah...

[00:36:26] Like there...

[00:36:27] There's a number of like...

[00:36:28] Vigipasta tropes that I noticed in the story...

[00:36:30] That like...

[00:36:31] Again...

[00:36:31] They're not bad...

[00:36:32] Um...

[00:36:32] It's just...

[00:36:34] When you know...

[00:36:35] You know...

[00:36:37] Also cause like...

[00:36:38] We are so desensitized to this...

[00:36:41] Oh yeah...

[00:36:41] Yeah...

[00:36:41] Cause we've read hundreds...

[00:36:43] And hundreds...

[00:36:43] And hundreds of creepypasta...

[00:36:45] Well that's what I mean...

[00:36:46] Like...

[00:36:47] Again like...

[00:36:47] The people that are commenting on this...

[00:36:48] Like saying this is one of their favorite...

[00:36:49] Like...

[00:36:50] Creep pastas...

[00:36:51] Or they...

[00:36:51] They remember reading this...

[00:36:52] Like...

[00:36:53] Earlier...

[00:36:53] And it was like really good...

[00:36:54] Like...

[00:36:55] I'm...

[00:36:55] I can't like...

[00:36:56] Be mad at those people...

[00:36:57] Cause like...

[00:36:57] No...

[00:36:57] Of course not...

[00:36:58] Obviously like...

[00:36:58] They're like...

[00:36:59] If you like this...

[00:36:59] You like this...

[00:37:00] Like I think...

[00:37:01] But like...

[00:37:01] Us making...

[00:37:03] Giving our...

[00:37:04] Opinions are just that...

[00:37:05] Our opinions...

[00:37:06] Yeah...

[00:37:06] Exactly...

[00:37:07] Yeah...

[00:37:07] And I just mean...

[00:37:08] It's like...

[00:37:09] We've...

[00:37:09] We've been at this a while...

[00:37:12] Guys...

[00:37:12] There's a decade...

[00:37:13] Of material here...

[00:37:14] We've...

[00:37:15] There's a decade of history here...

[00:37:17] With us...

[00:37:17] And...

[00:37:18] And Vigipastas...

[00:37:18] And Creep Pastas...

[00:37:19] And Poke Pastas...

[00:37:20] I get it...

[00:37:21] All the pastas...

[00:37:22] Mm-hmm...

[00:37:23] Spaghetti...

[00:37:25] Rigatoni...

[00:37:26] Facili...

[00:37:28] Pastina...

[00:37:29] Uh...

[00:37:30] Panay...

[00:37:31] Anyway...

[00:37:31] I could go on...

[00:37:33] Um...

[00:37:34] But uh...

[00:37:35] Yeah...

[00:37:35] So it's like...

[00:37:36] It...

[00:37:36] We're really just trying to like...

[00:37:37] We're picking at this like...

[00:37:38] To try and see like...

[00:37:39] How we can make it better...

[00:37:42] Um...

[00:37:42] But...

[00:37:43] Yeah...

[00:37:43] So I guess...

[00:37:44] Bottom line for this...

[00:37:45] Is like...

[00:37:45] I...

[00:37:45] I appreciate the concept...

[00:37:46] It's trying to evoke...

[00:37:47] But it needed to go harder...

[00:37:49] Really...

[00:37:50] For me...

[00:37:52] Uh...

[00:37:52] And then...

[00:37:53] The next thing I have here...

[00:37:55] This one's...

[00:37:56] Kind of...

[00:37:56] Somewhere along...

[00:37:57] Somewhere along the lines of the story is...

[00:37:59] Uh...

[00:38:00] I was brought to the Twilight Realm...

[00:38:01] After a very long black...

[00:38:02] Screen break...

[00:38:03] Had appeared...

[00:38:04] And for some reason...

[00:38:05] I didn't just simply...

[00:38:07] Turn the game off...

[00:38:08] At this point...

[00:38:10] While I was waiting...

[00:38:11] Because like...

[00:38:11] Is it over?

[00:38:12] Click...

[00:38:13] Done...

[00:38:14] I don't mean to...

[00:38:15] I don't mean that...

[00:38:16] Like...

[00:38:16] To...

[00:38:17] To kick a dead horse of a joke...

[00:38:18] Because it's like...

[00:38:19] That joke...

[00:38:20] That's...

[00:38:20] Again...

[00:38:21] Another trope that happens in...

[00:38:22] In Vigipastas...

[00:38:23] Why did you not turn off...

[00:38:25] The game...

[00:38:26] When it cut to black for like...

[00:38:28] Moments...

[00:38:28] For a long duration of time...

[00:38:32] Because it's a weird story to tell...

[00:38:34] I guess...

[00:38:35] I don't know...

[00:38:35] But like...

[00:38:35] Again...

[00:38:36] Sometimes when it's brought up...

[00:38:37] It's like...

[00:38:38] Uh...

[00:38:39] Like...

[00:38:39] Oh...

[00:38:40] There's...

[00:38:40] It went to black screen...

[00:38:41] For...

[00:38:42] For like...

[00:38:43] Five minutes...

[00:38:44] Were you really waiting...

[00:38:45] For five minutes?

[00:38:46] Yeah...

[00:38:47] Put on a stopwatch...

[00:38:48] For five minutes...

[00:38:49] You know how much I hate...

[00:38:50] Time related stuff like that...

[00:38:52] Yeah...

[00:38:52] I know...

[00:38:53] And like...

[00:38:53] It's definitely the joke of like...

[00:38:55] Why didn't you just turn it off...

[00:38:56] Then like...

[00:38:56] It's like...

[00:38:56] Oh clearly...

[00:38:57] This is busted...

[00:38:58] I'm just gonna restart the game...

[00:39:01] Yeah...

[00:39:01] But...

[00:39:02] If it had something where like...

[00:39:03] It wouldn't let me turn it off...

[00:39:05] Then we got some action here...

[00:39:06] Then we got some like...

[00:39:07] Some situation...

[00:39:08] Yeah...

[00:39:09] Because this entire thing...

[00:39:10] Is um...

[00:39:12] Consensual...

[00:39:12] Yeah...

[00:39:13] Because he is choosing to continue to do it...

[00:39:15] Um...

[00:39:16] And he's not showing that he has no other choice...

[00:39:19] Yeah...

[00:39:19] So they're...

[00:39:20] They're choosing...

[00:39:20] The person...

[00:39:21] Nair is choosing to...

[00:39:23] Stare at a black loading screen...

[00:39:25] Not even just that...

[00:39:26] Even just playing the game itself...

[00:39:28] Like...

[00:39:29] Nothing is stopping him from experiencing anything...

[00:39:31] Like maybe he...

[00:39:32] Wants to keep watching...

[00:39:33] Just because he's curious of...

[00:39:34] This glitch...

[00:39:35] And he knows that if he shuts it off...

[00:39:36] It might go away...

[00:39:37] That's fair...

[00:39:38] But...

[00:39:40] I don't know...

[00:39:41] There needs to be something...

[00:39:42] Holding him there...

[00:39:43] Or at least affecting him in real life...

[00:39:45] Yeah...

[00:39:46] No...

[00:39:46] For sure...

[00:39:47] Uh...

[00:39:48] And then...

[00:39:48] My last actual thought here...

[00:39:50] Really kind of just hammers down...

[00:39:52] What I was...

[00:39:52] We were talking about earlier...

[00:39:53] About like...

[00:39:54] So it's...

[00:39:55] It's the last...

[00:39:55] The quote I have is the last bit in the story...

[00:39:57] Where it's like...

[00:39:58] I chose my file...

[00:39:59] And a text box appeared...

[00:40:01] Uh...

[00:40:01] With blue font saying...

[00:40:03] Uh...

[00:40:03] You did this to...

[00:40:04] You did this...

[00:40:05] All right there...

[00:40:07] Mayor of Amityville...

[00:40:08] Or Amityville Beach...

[00:40:10] It's like...

[00:40:10] You did this...

[00:40:12] No...

[00:40:12] Uh...

[00:40:13] You...

[00:40:13] You...

[00:40:13] You left those beaches open...

[00:40:16] Um...

[00:40:16] I'm referencing Jaws...

[00:40:18] For anybody who doesn't know...

[00:40:21] Um...

[00:40:22] But yeah...

[00:40:22] It's like...

[00:40:23] You did this to us...

[00:40:24] You could have saved...

[00:40:25] We could have saved our worlds...

[00:40:26] But you couldn't just...

[00:40:28] You couldn't just have some patience...

[00:40:30] Now could you?

[00:40:31] You disgust me...

[00:40:33] Are you proud of what you've done?

[00:40:34] That's the end of the game...

[00:40:35] Or the end of the story...

[00:40:37] Um...

[00:40:37] And...

[00:40:38] Again...

[00:40:39] Like we've kind of been saying...

[00:40:40] Like I think a lot of gamers...

[00:40:41] Can relate to starting a game...

[00:40:43] Uh...

[00:40:44] Even when they really like...

[00:40:46] And stopping halfway...

[00:40:47] Or at some point in the game...

[00:40:49] And not returning till like...

[00:40:51] A long period of time has passed...

[00:40:53] And then having that worried recall...

[00:40:56] Of where...

[00:40:56] You left off...

[00:40:58] So...

[00:40:59] Like pushing that idea in the story...

[00:41:01] Like that kind of anxiety...

[00:41:02] Or that kind of like...

[00:41:03] Disconnect...

[00:41:04] Or like that kind of confusion...

[00:41:05] Is really good in the story...

[00:41:06] I think...

[00:41:07] But it's gotta be done way harder...

[00:41:09] In the narrative...

[00:41:10] Like it's gotta get more...

[00:41:10] Have more of an impact...

[00:41:12] Uh...

[00:41:12] In the story...

[00:41:14] To really have some like...

[00:41:15] Staying power...

[00:41:16] I think at least...

[00:41:18] Yeah...

[00:41:19] Um...

[00:41:20] But yeah...

[00:41:20] That's uh...

[00:41:21] That's really all I got for...

[00:41:22] For Midna's Sorrow...

[00:41:23] So...

[00:41:24] Mikey...

[00:41:24] Do you stand for evil?

[00:41:29] Um...

[00:41:29] Um...

[00:41:30] Well...

[00:41:32] Just...

[00:41:34] The uh...

[00:41:36] Main issue I have is the trope...

[00:41:38] Of...

[00:41:39] Returning to...

[00:41:40] A uh...

[00:41:42] Video game and...

[00:41:43] Oh...

[00:41:44] Time has passed...

[00:41:45] And the characters are angry...

[00:41:47] Type thing...

[00:41:48] Yeah...

[00:41:49] Um...

[00:41:50] I feel...

[00:41:52] I feel...

[00:41:52] There's other avenues to make that sort of thing more...

[00:41:58] Um...

[00:41:59] Odd...

[00:42:00] Like...

[00:42:01] I know I have multiple books...

[00:42:04] That I have started reading...

[00:42:05] And have stopped reading...

[00:42:07] Yeah...

[00:42:08] Uh...

[00:42:08] So...

[00:42:09] If I went back to them...

[00:42:10] And suddenly the characters are chewing out me for stopping reading...

[00:42:15] That would be...

[00:42:15] That would be fucked up...

[00:42:17] That's a never-ending...

[00:42:18] Right at your bookmark too...

[00:42:20] That is straight up so never-ending story bullshit...

[00:42:23] I was like...

[00:42:25] Wait...

[00:42:25] I'm...

[00:42:25] I'm this guy...

[00:42:26] Why are they talking to...

[00:42:27] That's my name...

[00:42:28] Why are they calling me out?

[00:42:31] They sure...

[00:42:35] Or...

[00:42:36] Say...

[00:42:37] Yeah...

[00:42:38] Uh...

[00:42:38] The example of a movie...

[00:42:41] Yeah...

[00:42:41] Like you...

[00:42:41] You watch a movie...

[00:42:43] Partway through...

[00:42:44] And then stop watching...

[00:42:45] And then if you...

[00:42:47] Come back to it...

[00:42:49] Like...

[00:42:50] A while later...

[00:42:51] Suddenly the...

[00:42:52] The characters in the movie are angry at you...

[00:42:55] Yeah...

[00:42:56] Like...

[00:42:56] It's...

[00:42:57] It's the meta-textual...

[00:42:58] Like...

[00:42:58] Breaking of the third...

[00:42:59] Or...

[00:42:59] Breaking of the fourth wall...

[00:43:01] Yeah...

[00:43:01] Aspect of like...

[00:43:02] It's like...

[00:43:03] It's...

[00:43:04] It's just like...

[00:43:05] Characters just like...

[00:43:06] Wait...

[00:43:06] Hang on...

[00:43:07] There's a...

[00:43:08] Ding, ding, ding...

[00:43:09] Hello?

[00:43:09] We see you out there...

[00:43:11] And you're just like...

[00:43:12] Huh?

[00:43:13] I've been seen...

[00:43:14] Like...

[00:43:15] In games...

[00:43:16] It's kind of hard to do...

[00:43:17] Like...

[00:43:17] It's also...

[00:43:18] Like...

[00:43:18] I kind of agree with you...

[00:43:19] In video games...

[00:43:20] It is hard to do that...

[00:43:22] Because games...

[00:43:23] By their very nature...

[00:43:24] Are interactive...

[00:43:25] Between the player...

[00:43:26] And the game...

[00:43:27] Whereas like...

[00:43:28] If that happens in a book...

[00:43:29] Or if it happens in a movie...

[00:43:31] Those are set in stone...

[00:43:32] Or supposed to be set in stone...

[00:43:34] According to reality...

[00:43:35] So when it...

[00:43:36] When it...

[00:43:37] The nice part about...

[00:43:38] What they did in this though...

[00:43:40] Is...

[00:43:41] They...

[00:43:41] Added in...

[00:43:42] Actual voice lines...

[00:43:44] Yes...

[00:43:45] That...

[00:43:45] That's like the big weird thing in this...

[00:43:47] Because Zelda games...

[00:43:49] They...

[00:43:50] Either...

[00:43:50] They just have gibberish...

[00:43:52] But there's like...

[00:43:53] Actual text to read...

[00:43:54] Yeah...

[00:43:54] So the fact that they actually...

[00:43:56] Straight up talk...

[00:43:56] Is the weird part...

[00:43:58] Yeah...

[00:43:59] Exactly...

[00:43:59] Like yeah...

[00:43:59] Because like...

[00:44:00] Every time like Midna has ever talked...

[00:44:01] It's been in that like...

[00:44:03] Strange...

[00:44:03] The strange gibberish...

[00:44:05] Kind of...

[00:44:06] Language...

[00:44:06] That like...

[00:44:07] It's just nonsense...

[00:44:09] Or they do like the...

[00:44:10] And then like...

[00:44:11] There's like a little text box...

[00:44:12] Of like their character...

[00:44:13] Like saying their actual words...

[00:44:15] For you to read...

[00:44:16] Because...

[00:44:16] That was how they...

[00:44:17] It made a sound effect...

[00:44:18] I did not hear it...

[00:44:19] Yeah...

[00:44:19] I just basically like...

[00:44:20] Yeah...

[00:44:20] The character like says...

[00:44:20] Well yeah...

[00:44:21] The character just does a sound effect...

[00:44:22] And then a text bar...

[00:44:23] Pops up...

[00:44:24] Or like...

[00:44:24] They'll say like a single word...

[00:44:26] Like...

[00:44:26] Hey...

[00:44:27] And then it's like...

[00:44:28] Ah...

[00:44:29] Greetings Link...

[00:44:29] I'm one...

[00:44:32] Yeah...

[00:44:33] Exactly...

[00:44:33] That kind of thing...

[00:44:34] Because...

[00:44:34] And that's how Nintendo basically like...

[00:44:36] Got away with like...

[00:44:37] Not having voice actor...

[00:44:39] Or not having...

[00:44:40] Not just Japanese voice...

[00:44:41] Uh...

[00:44:41] Voice over stuff...

[00:44:42] But also had like...

[00:44:43] Didn't have to worry about like...

[00:44:44] Getting English voice over work...

[00:44:46] They just...

[00:44:46] They just had text boxes...

[00:44:48] That the player had to read...

[00:44:49] And uh...

[00:44:50] Read out their own thing...

[00:44:51] So yeah...

[00:44:52] Um...

[00:44:53] And again like...

[00:44:54] When you do it...

[00:44:54] Again when you do that kind of interactive...

[00:44:56] Like appear...

[00:44:56] That break...

[00:44:57] Speaking of the fourth wall...

[00:44:57] In a video game...

[00:44:59] Like I've seen it done...

[00:45:00] And I've seen it done very effectively...

[00:45:01] I was playing...

[00:45:02] When I first played Assassin's Creed 2...

[00:45:05] Uh...

[00:45:05] Or...

[00:45:06] It was either 2 or Brotherhood...

[00:45:08] Um...

[00:45:09] And...

[00:45:09] There's a sequence where like...

[00:45:11] The uh...

[00:45:12] One of the...

[00:45:13] The ancients...

[00:45:13] Uh...

[00:45:14] In the game...

[00:45:15] Uh...

[00:45:15] Makes an appearance...

[00:45:16] In front of Ezio...

[00:45:18] And...

[00:45:19] Then looks at you...

[00:45:21] Over Ezio's shoulder...

[00:45:23] And Ezio's like...

[00:45:24] What?

[00:45:24] What?

[00:45:25] And it's just staring at you...

[00:45:27] The character's staring at you...

[00:45:28] Because...

[00:45:29] Technically they're staring at Desmond...

[00:45:30] Who is the modern character...

[00:45:32] Yep...

[00:45:32] Who's playing through Ezio...

[00:45:33] But...

[00:45:34] It really feels like it's staring into you...

[00:45:36] Who is...

[00:45:37] Like...

[00:45:38] Because it's staring directly into the screen...

[00:45:40] So...

[00:45:41] It's a really good effect of like...

[00:45:42] Unnerving...

[00:45:43] Uh...

[00:45:44] Feeling...

[00:45:44] Like...

[00:45:45] Uh...

[00:45:45] And I remember like...

[00:45:46] Vividly...

[00:45:47] Being unnerved...

[00:45:48] When Minerva...

[00:45:50] Oddly enough...

[00:45:51] Um...

[00:45:52] Stares at the screen...

[00:45:53] And starts addressing...

[00:45:55] You...

[00:45:57] So...

[00:45:57] Yeah...

[00:46:00] Yeah...

[00:46:01] But...

[00:46:01] Yeah...

[00:46:02] That's kind of stuff...

[00:46:03] Like...

[00:46:03] That's the kind of stuff...

[00:46:04] That you have to go...

[00:46:04] Do...

[00:46:05] In order to make this...

[00:46:06] More impactful...

[00:46:07] I think...

[00:46:08] Of this kind of like...

[00:46:09] Concept...

[00:46:10] Mm-hmm...

[00:46:13] Alright...

[00:46:13] And then...

[00:46:14] My next actual thought here...

[00:46:16] I have a quote...

[00:46:19] Uh...

[00:46:20] My first file...

[00:46:21] That I was working on...

[00:46:23] That was supposed to have...

[00:46:24] All the few shadows...

[00:46:25] And a few pieces...

[00:46:27] Of the mirror of twilight...

[00:46:29] Only had two pieces...

[00:46:30] Of few shadows...

[00:46:31] No mirror of twilight...

[00:46:32] And I only had...

[00:46:34] Three hearts...

[00:46:36] Uh...

[00:46:36] To which...

[00:46:37] My response is...

[00:46:38] The sad...

[00:46:38] Truth...

[00:46:39] His sister...

[00:46:40] Overwrote his save file...

[00:46:41] With a three heart challenge file...

[00:46:43] Oh my god...

[00:46:44] You're...

[00:46:44] That also could be...

[00:46:46] That literally could be it...

[00:46:48] Yeah...

[00:46:49] Cause like...

[00:46:50] Yeah...

[00:46:50] Like he...

[00:46:51] He got pissed off...

[00:46:51] And he walked away from it...

[00:46:53] It was his sister's...

[00:46:53] Gamecube...

[00:46:54] So what happened is...

[00:46:55] His sister played the game...

[00:46:56] And then like...

[00:46:58] Wiped that game...

[00:46:58] Cause he didn't...

[00:46:59] She didn't think it was...

[00:47:00] Her...

[00:47:00] Her brother or sister...

[00:47:01] Or whoever...

[00:47:02] Nair is...

[00:47:03] Would...

[00:47:04] Would...

[00:47:04] Play it again...

[00:47:05] Right...

[00:47:06] So they just...

[00:47:07] Like...

[00:47:07] Restarted the game...

[00:47:08] And they did...

[00:47:08] Yeah...

[00:47:09] Did a three heart challenge...

[00:47:11] Mm-hmm...

[00:47:12] Wow...

[00:47:13] Good job mundanifying it...

[00:47:14] Well done sir...

[00:47:15] That's actually super...

[00:47:16] Yeah...

[00:47:17] Like...

[00:47:17] Man...

[00:47:17] I thought I was mundanifying...

[00:47:19] With like the whole...

[00:47:19] With like...

[00:47:20] Oh like...

[00:47:20] Oh...

[00:47:20] Weird...

[00:47:21] White flash...

[00:47:22] Like start...

[00:47:22] At the start of the game...

[00:47:23] It's like...

[00:47:23] No...

[00:47:23] That's just...

[00:47:25] Loading...

[00:47:29] Yeah...

[00:47:29] Yeah...

[00:47:30] Yeah...

[00:47:30] Hats...

[00:47:30] Hats off to you sir...

[00:47:35] And...

[00:47:36] And...

[00:47:36] That's the end of my actual thoughts...

[00:47:39] Alright...

[00:47:41] Gamer...

[00:47:42] I think we literally talked about...

[00:47:44] Anything I had to talk about...

[00:47:45] You've been chipping it at least...

[00:47:47] Yeah...

[00:47:49] Yeah...

[00:47:50] I got nothing...

[00:47:50] I got nothing left...

[00:47:51] That's fair...

[00:47:52] I mean we did...

[00:47:52] The story's not very long...

[00:47:55] And...

[00:47:56] Yeah...

[00:47:57] We did cover a lot of the material...

[00:47:58] That was already there...

[00:47:59] So...

[00:48:00] Yeah...

[00:48:00] But like...

[00:48:01] My biggest problem...

[00:48:02] With the story in general is...

[00:48:04] Like nothing happens to the player...

[00:48:06] And he...

[00:48:07] Like I said before...

[00:48:08] He...

[00:48:09] Is doing this...

[00:48:10] By choice...

[00:48:11] Yeah...

[00:48:11] It also just kind of ends...

[00:48:13] Like it just like...

[00:48:13] Yeah...

[00:48:14] And like...

[00:48:15] You can guess...

[00:48:15] Like again...

[00:48:16] I'm guessing...

[00:48:17] It's...

[00:48:17] They ended this way...

[00:48:18] Because like...

[00:48:18] Oh it's a zinger...

[00:48:19] It's like...

[00:48:19] Oh don't you feel proud of yourself...

[00:48:20] It was like...

[00:48:20] Done...

[00:48:21] And it's like...

[00:48:23] Okay...

[00:48:23] Did they keep playing...

[00:48:25] Or did they just never play...

[00:48:25] Twilight Princess again...

[00:48:26] Also I thought this was their favorite game...

[00:48:29] And then like...

[00:48:30] They never even finished it...

[00:48:33] Like...

[00:48:33] That's the one thing...

[00:48:34] This isn't like the 15th run...

[00:48:36] That this person's done...

[00:48:38] Like I really feel like...

[00:48:39] That should have been the case...

[00:48:41] Where like...

[00:48:41] They've...

[00:48:42] Because they say...

[00:48:43] Right off the hop...

[00:48:45] Um...

[00:48:45] Please help her...

[00:48:47] She didn't...

[00:48:47] She's very very lonely...

[00:48:48] No...

[00:48:49] There is...

[00:48:50] Like there's...

[00:48:50] For some reason there's like a quote...

[00:48:51] Of like...

[00:48:52] That says please help her...

[00:48:53] She's very very lonely...

[00:48:54] But then like...

[00:48:55] The actual story...

[00:48:56] Takes over with like...

[00:48:57] Uh...

[00:48:58] Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess...

[00:48:59] Has to be my most...

[00:49:00] Has to be...

[00:49:01] My most favorite game...

[00:49:02] In the series...

[00:49:04] And then...

[00:49:05] It goes through it...

[00:49:06] And it's like...

[00:49:07] They...

[00:49:07] They...

[00:49:07] When they first played it...

[00:49:08] They got about halfway through the game...

[00:49:10] And then they got rage quit...

[00:49:11] And stopped playing it...

[00:49:12] And didn't want to touch it for two years...

[00:49:15] But it's their favorite game...

[00:49:16] No...

[00:49:17] It's their favorite game...

[00:49:18] In the Zelda series...

[00:49:19] This is also the only game...

[00:49:20] They've played in the Zelda series...

[00:49:23] Yeah...

[00:49:24] Like I really do feel...

[00:49:26] Yeah...

[00:49:26] Like it...

[00:49:26] It felt really kind of weird...

[00:49:28] Like just juxtapositioning that...

[00:49:29] Like...

[00:49:30] Oh this is my favorite Zelda game...

[00:49:32] I've not finished it...

[00:49:33] But it's my favorite...

[00:49:36] Yeah...

[00:49:36] You figure it would be the least favorite...

[00:49:38] Yeah...

[00:49:39] And...

[00:49:39] You figure it would be like...

[00:49:40] This is my least favorite in the whole series...

[00:49:41] And I'll tell you why...

[00:49:42] Because this happened...

[00:49:44] Yeah...

[00:49:44] Or like they've played this game multiple times...

[00:49:46] And they've never...

[00:49:46] But then like...

[00:49:47] This is the one time where they like...

[00:49:48] They rage quit or took a break from it...

[00:49:51] Or even like the rage quit aspect...

[00:49:52] That could be just removed...

[00:49:53] It's like...

[00:49:53] I got...

[00:49:54] I was like halfway through it...

[00:49:55] I was getting frustrated...

[00:49:56] It's like...

[00:49:56] You know...

[00:49:57] I'm just gonna take a break...

[00:49:58] And just like never go back to it...

[00:49:59] For like two years...

[00:50:00] And then...

[00:50:01] Yeah...

[00:50:01] When they come back...

[00:50:02] It's changed...

[00:50:03] Because suddenly...

[00:50:05] Because they...

[00:50:05] Because they finally...

[00:50:06] They finally left the game...

[00:50:08] Because I...

[00:50:08] Again...

[00:50:08] That's something also that gamers can kind of relate to...

[00:50:12] I've...

[00:50:12] I have at least two or three games in my...

[00:50:14] My current library...

[00:50:16] That I...

[00:50:17] I started...

[00:50:18] And I've played multiple times...

[00:50:19] And then I just kind of like...

[00:50:21] I hit a spot where like...

[00:50:22] It's sort of like...

[00:50:23] Not the greatest spot in the game...

[00:50:24] And I was like...

[00:50:25] You know...

[00:50:25] I'm just gonna take a break...

[00:50:26] I'm just not gonna play this game right now...

[00:50:28] And I've like...

[00:50:29] I've got like a couple of like...

[00:50:30] Games that I've already beaten...

[00:50:31] Multiple times...

[00:50:32] And I have like...

[00:50:33] A save file...

[00:50:34] Halfway through the game...

[00:50:36] So...

[00:50:37] Yeah...

[00:50:38] Well...

[00:50:38] What if it's...

[00:50:40] Uh...

[00:50:40] His favorite...

[00:50:41] Because he's gotten the farthest...

[00:50:43] But...

[00:50:44] He only ever makes it to the Temple of Time...

[00:50:48] Yeah...

[00:50:48] Because if I recall in Ocarina of Time...

[00:50:51] The Temple of Time is basically when you switch to Adult Link...

[00:50:55] Yeah...

[00:50:56] And that's relatively early on...

[00:50:58] So...

[00:50:59] He didn't get that far in that game...

[00:51:00] But in this game...

[00:51:02] He made it pretty far...

[00:51:03] Yeah...

[00:51:03] Because the Temple of Time is so much...

[00:51:05] It's a...

[00:51:05] It's a lot farther along in the...

[00:51:07] In the...

[00:51:08] The quests...

[00:51:12] Yeah...

[00:51:13] Yeah...

[00:51:15] Exactly...

[00:51:17] Yeah...

[00:51:17] So it could be something as simple as that...

[00:51:20] Like...

[00:51:21] I don't ever make it to the Temple of Time...

[00:51:23] But...

[00:51:23] I really like...

[00:51:24] Uh...

[00:51:25] Twilight Princess...

[00:51:26] Because I made it to the Temple of Time...

[00:51:27] Which is pretty far into the game...

[00:51:30] Yeah...

[00:51:33] Actually...

[00:51:34] You know what's kind of interesting...

[00:51:35] Is like...

[00:51:35] This whole idea...

[00:51:36] That like...

[00:51:36] That's the story's like...

[00:51:37] Kind of propagating...

[00:51:37] Is like...

[00:51:38] The hero...

[00:51:38] Wasn't around...

[00:51:40] So like...

[00:51:41] The...

[00:51:41] The villains...

[00:51:42] The villains took over...

[00:51:43] And like...

[00:51:43] Decimated the world...

[00:51:44] And like...

[00:51:45] The...

[00:51:45] And like...

[00:51:46] Created this horrible...

[00:51:47] Like...

[00:51:47] Existence...

[00:51:48] In the game...

[00:51:49] It's...

[00:51:50] It's sort of blending...

[00:51:51] The...

[00:51:51] The backstory...

[00:51:53] Of what happened...

[00:51:53] Of how we got to Wind Waker...

[00:51:55] As well...

[00:51:56] Which is...

[00:51:57] Another game that came out around the same time...

[00:51:59] Like...

[00:51:59] I think shortly...

[00:52:00] Before Twilight Princess...

[00:52:02] Um...

[00:52:03] Uh...

[00:52:03] Wind Waker's backstory...

[00:52:04] Like...

[00:52:04] Right before...

[00:52:05] As the game starts...

[00:52:06] Basically...

[00:52:07] The hero was...

[00:52:08] The hero of time...

[00:52:09] Wasn't around...

[00:52:10] When Ganon came back again...

[00:52:12] And so...

[00:52:12] It was up to the gods...

[00:52:13] Basically to try and stop...

[00:52:15] Ganon...

[00:52:15] And the only way to do that...

[00:52:16] Is they had to sink Hyrule...

[00:52:18] So...

[00:52:19] Uh...

[00:52:19] I'm basically...

[00:52:20] Wiping it out...

[00:52:21] Um...

[00:52:22] And leaving it in like...

[00:52:23] Kind of a post-apocalyptic state...

[00:52:24] And even that...

[00:52:25] Is something that is addressed...

[00:52:27] Later in later games...

[00:52:28] Like...

[00:52:28] Breath of the Wild...

[00:52:29] Where like...

[00:52:30] In Breath of the Wild...

[00:52:30] It's technically a post-apocalyptic fantasy world...

[00:52:33] Because...

[00:52:34] The Calamity Ganon...

[00:52:36] Uh...

[00:52:36] Has been around for like...

[00:52:38] A hundred years...

[00:52:39] And...

[00:52:41] Defeated...

[00:52:41] Uh...

[00:52:42] The Royal Family...

[00:52:43] Defeated Link...

[00:52:44] And Link had to go into...

[00:52:45] Into like a...

[00:52:46] Into a stasis...

[00:52:47] Uh...

[00:52:48] To rejuvenate himself...

[00:52:50] For a hundred years...

[00:52:51] And in that hundred years...

[00:52:52] There was no hero of...

[00:52:53] Of the...

[00:52:54] Of the kingdom...

[00:52:55] So like...

[00:52:55] The world just had to try and survive...

[00:52:57] In this like...

[00:52:58] Calamity Ganon...

[00:52:59] Post-apocalypse...

[00:53:04] But...

[00:53:04] Yeah...

[00:53:05] Again...

[00:53:05] The game...

[00:53:06] The...

[00:53:08] Just the idea of...

[00:53:11] Uh...

[00:53:12] Uh...

[00:53:12] An abandoned game world...

[00:53:14] Uh...

[00:53:15] Is interesting...

[00:53:16] But it has to do a lot more...

[00:53:18] Yeah...

[00:53:22] Uh...

[00:53:23] So I guess that's it for you...

[00:53:24] Thing Gamer?

[00:53:25] Uh...

[00:53:25] Yep...

[00:53:27] Okay...

[00:53:28] Well...

[00:53:28] Let's uh...

[00:53:29] Let's move on to...

[00:53:30] Final thoughts...

[00:53:31] Um...

[00:53:32] Yeah...

[00:53:32] I'm...

[00:53:33] I'm still wanna partially recommend this...

[00:53:35] I mean...

[00:53:35] It...

[00:53:36] Doesn't do enough...

[00:53:38] But...

[00:53:39] I...

[00:53:40] I...

[00:53:40] I do really...

[00:53:41] Like the idea...

[00:53:43] Behind it...

[00:53:43] The concept behind this...

[00:53:45] Um...

[00:53:45] It just needs to push the...

[00:53:46] Those ideas...

[00:53:47] And the repercussions...

[00:53:49] In more ways...

[00:53:50] Than how it is...

[00:53:51] Um...

[00:53:52] Like...

[00:53:53] Yeah...

[00:53:53] That concept of like...

[00:53:54] Abandoned...

[00:53:55] Nostalgia...

[00:53:56] And that melancholy...

[00:53:57] Forgetting something...

[00:53:58] And having...

[00:53:59] Having unforeseen consequences as a result...

[00:54:02] Um...

[00:54:02] It's a good idea...

[00:54:04] As we've been kind of saying constantly...

[00:54:06] But...

[00:54:08] It needs to be hit...

[00:54:09] Uh...

[00:54:09] It needs to hit harder...

[00:54:10] Than...

[00:54:11] Than how it goes...

[00:54:13] Um...

[00:54:13] So yeah...

[00:54:14] I'm still...

[00:54:14] Partially recommending it...

[00:54:16] But it's like...

[00:54:16] Bordering almost on a non-recommendation...

[00:54:18] Because it doesn't hit enough...

[00:54:19] It's...

[00:54:20] Sort of...

[00:54:21] It's...

[00:54:21] It's almost hitting that middle ground of like...

[00:54:23] Eh...

[00:54:24] Like it's not terrible...

[00:54:25] Like it's not like...

[00:54:26] Fantastically terrible...

[00:54:28] But it's not...

[00:54:28] Great...

[00:54:29] So it's just kind of in that middle space...

[00:54:32] It's supposed to hit you like...

[00:54:34] It's supposed to hit you like...

[00:54:35] Getting hit with a baseball bat...

[00:54:37] But it's like...

[00:54:37] More getting hit with a pool noodle...

[00:54:39] Yeah...

[00:54:40] Exactly...

[00:54:40] It's supposed to be hitting the feels here...

[00:54:42] And all I'm getting hit is...

[00:54:43] In is in like the arm...

[00:54:45] For the pool noodle...

[00:54:48] It's like...

[00:54:49] Eh...

[00:54:49] Feel bad...

[00:54:51] Why?

[00:54:53] It's like...

[00:54:53] Yeah...

[00:54:54] Exactly...

[00:54:54] So yeah...

[00:54:55] Mikey...

[00:54:56] These stands for evil?

[00:54:58] Um...

[00:54:59] Yeah...

[00:54:59] So...

[00:55:00] I feel...

[00:55:02] That there are...

[00:55:03] There are games out there...

[00:55:05] That do the whole guilt trip...

[00:55:07] For not playing them...

[00:55:09] So...

[00:55:10] If you're gonna have that...

[00:55:12] In a creepypast...

[00:55:13] Like...

[00:55:14] Cultist has said...

[00:55:16] You gotta...

[00:55:16] Ramp it up to 11...

[00:55:18] Yep...

[00:55:20] And...

[00:55:21] Do something that...

[00:55:22] Isn't done...

[00:55:23] In a video game...

[00:55:25] Like...

[00:55:26] Uh...

[00:55:27] As...

[00:55:28] Uh...

[00:55:29] Gamer Nielo...

[00:55:30] Usually points out...

[00:55:31] It would be nice...

[00:55:31] If it affects the person...

[00:55:33] In the real world...

[00:55:34] Um...

[00:55:36] And...

[00:55:37] Like...

[00:55:38] Well...

[00:55:39] I think one of the Sonic games...

[00:55:41] Did that...

[00:55:42] Uh...

[00:55:43] Uh...

[00:55:44] Or the Sonic creepypastas...

[00:55:46] That we had...

[00:55:46] Oh...

[00:55:47] Sonic.exe...

[00:55:48] Yeah...

[00:55:49] Yeah...

[00:55:49] Well yeah...

[00:55:50] Again...

[00:55:50] Like...

[00:55:50] There are other...

[00:55:51] There are other...

[00:55:51] Vigipastas that do do that...

[00:55:53] Um...

[00:55:54] Yeah...

[00:55:54] And those are usually the ones...

[00:55:55] That we're praising for that...

[00:55:57] Yeah...

[00:55:58] But...

[00:55:59] This one is just...

[00:56:00] The...

[00:56:01] Yeah...

[00:56:02] There's consequences...

[00:56:03] For technically Hyrule...

[00:56:06] But...

[00:56:06] Not for...

[00:56:07] The...

[00:56:09] Player...

[00:56:09] Yeah...

[00:56:10] It needs to linger...

[00:56:11] Away...

[00:56:11] It needs to bleed out of...

[00:56:13] Simply the game...

[00:56:14] Uh...

[00:56:15] And needs to affect the player...

[00:56:16] In...

[00:56:17] A more heightened...

[00:56:19] A more heightened way...

[00:56:20] Than just like...

[00:56:21] Oh...

[00:56:21] I feel bad...

[00:56:22] Because I...

[00:56:23] I left this game for too long...

[00:56:24] Yeah...

[00:56:25] Because like I said before as well...

[00:56:27] Like...

[00:56:27] The consequences to Hyrule...

[00:56:29] Are consequences that...

[00:56:31] The player would have already known...

[00:56:33] Because it was told in the intro of the game...

[00:56:35] So it's not even a surprise...

[00:56:37] Yeah...

[00:56:38] Mm-hmm...

[00:56:39] Yeah...

[00:56:40] And then...

[00:56:41] The other thing is like...

[00:56:43] Twilight Princess...

[00:56:44] Is already...

[00:56:45] On the dark side...

[00:56:47] For Zelda games...

[00:56:48] Yeah...

[00:56:49] So...

[00:56:50] Like...

[00:56:50] This extra...

[00:56:52] Bit...

[00:56:53] I feel wasn't...

[00:56:54] Needed...

[00:56:55] Uh...

[00:56:56] So...

[00:56:56] I'm still not recommending this...

[00:56:59] Fair...

[00:57:01] Gamer...

[00:57:02] Your...

[00:57:03] Uh...

[00:57:04] Final thoughts...

[00:57:05] Much more I could say that hasn't already been said...

[00:57:08] But like basically...

[00:57:11] Uh...

[00:57:11] The story didn't really do anything...

[00:57:13] Is what it kind of felt like to me...

[00:57:15] Or rather...

[00:57:15] It didn't do anything that hasn't been done a bunch...

[00:57:18] Like...

[00:57:19] By other creepypasses...

[00:57:21] Um...

[00:57:22] In regards to the tropes that you brought up and all that...

[00:57:24] And like...

[00:57:25] All the setups it did...

[00:57:27] For the creepy stuff to happen...

[00:57:28] Also...

[00:57:29] Didn't happen...

[00:57:30] Because like in regards to...

[00:57:32] Like...

[00:57:33] I expected something...

[00:57:35] Bad to happen to Zelda...

[00:57:37] And the most we got is...

[00:57:39] Oh...

[00:57:40] Like...

[00:57:40] Minda's like...

[00:57:40] Oh...

[00:57:41] And Zelda...

[00:57:41] She...

[00:57:42] And then we get nothing...

[00:57:43] We don't even know what happened...

[00:57:45] Yeah...

[00:57:45] It's kind of...

[00:57:46] It's insinuating that like...

[00:57:47] Zelda died...

[00:57:48] Or was...

[00:57:48] Yeah...

[00:57:48] But...

[00:57:49] It's a creepypasta...

[00:57:50] You could write the most vile...

[00:57:53] Disgusting...

[00:57:54] Gory shit possible...

[00:57:56] No...

[00:57:56] There...

[00:57:56] There...

[00:57:56] Yes you can...

[00:57:57] But there is something to be said for subtlety...

[00:58:00] And like...

[00:58:00] Read between the lines...

[00:58:01] Kind of like...

[00:58:02] Notes and stuff like that...

[00:58:03] Like you don't have to show...

[00:58:04] Like...

[00:58:04] I mean...

[00:58:05] The story can just tell them like...

[00:58:07] Yeah...

[00:58:07] The character died...

[00:58:08] Because you weren't around...

[00:58:10] Um...

[00:58:11] You don't have to go like...

[00:58:13] All...

[00:58:13] I...

[00:58:13] I am kind of partially agreeing with you...

[00:58:15] Like...

[00:58:15] Yeah...

[00:58:15] Like...

[00:58:15] Go big...

[00:58:16] But like...

[00:58:17] Also like...

[00:58:17] You don't have to be so blatant...

[00:58:18] Like all the time...

[00:58:20] Yeah...

[00:58:21] Use your...

[00:58:21] Pick your battles basically...

[00:58:22] It's like...

[00:58:22] Pick your...

[00:58:24] Like...

[00:58:24] Like...

[00:58:24] Pick your scenes...

[00:58:26] Um...

[00:58:26] Like carefully...

[00:58:28] Yeah...

[00:58:28] But...

[00:58:28] Regardless...

[00:58:29] Like...

[00:58:30] The story is done so subtly...

[00:58:32] That it's almost hard to notice...

[00:58:34] That there's anything...

[00:58:35] Actually creepy happening in it...

[00:58:37] Like...

[00:58:37] Yeah...

[00:58:37] The creepy...

[00:58:38] The only creepy thing that we really have happening...

[00:58:40] Is...

[00:58:41] The...

[00:58:42] Uh...

[00:58:42] The characters...

[00:58:43] Referring to the player...

[00:58:45] But...

[00:58:46] As...

[00:58:46] Mikey brought up...

[00:58:48] Other games have done that...

[00:58:49] Which means...

[00:58:50] It can be something...

[00:58:52] That is actually just programmed...

[00:58:53] In the game already...

[00:58:55] Yeah...

[00:58:55] In fact...

[00:58:56] I'm...

[00:58:56] Yeah...

[00:58:57] A lot of this is pretty much...

[00:58:58] This could just be a ROM hack...

[00:58:59] Or...

[00:58:59] Again...

[00:59:00] Like...

[00:59:00] Turns out his sister's just a real bitch...

[00:59:02] Just like...

[00:59:03] ROM...

[00:59:03] Like...

[00:59:03] Like...

[00:59:04] Made up...

[00:59:04] Printed a ROM hack...

[00:59:05] On a GameCube disc...

[00:59:07] No...

[00:59:07] What I'm bringing up is...

[00:59:09] The things that happen in this game...

[00:59:10] Could be something that were actually coded in the game by Nintendo...

[00:59:14] Oh yeah...

[00:59:15] Like...

[00:59:15] That's how subtle everything is...

[00:59:17] That actually...

[00:59:18] Yeah...

[00:59:18] That would be...

[00:59:18] It's...

[00:59:19] It's one of those like...

[00:59:20] It enters that Vigipasta style...

[00:59:22] Like...

[00:59:22] Trope...

[00:59:22] Where it's like...

[00:59:23] The developers have...

[00:59:25] There's a secret...

[00:59:26] The developers added to the game...

[00:59:27] That if you...

[00:59:27] If you don't play the game...

[00:59:29] Like a save file for too long...

[00:59:31] It triggers this...

[00:59:32] This new version of the game...

[00:59:34] In the...

[00:59:34] In the already existing game...

[00:59:36] Yep...

[00:59:36] About the only argument...

[00:59:38] That can be put against that theory...

[00:59:40] Is the fact that like...

[00:59:41] When he loaded in...

[00:59:42] All the trees and grass and stuff...

[00:59:44] Weren't there...

[00:59:46] Yeah...

[00:59:46] Like if the game ran normally...

[00:59:48] But that happened...

[00:59:49] Then...

[00:59:49] Yeah...

[00:59:50] It's just programmed in there by Nintendo...

[00:59:52] Yeah...

[00:59:52] And actually even like that...

[00:59:54] Like...

[00:59:54] Because some of that could be removed...

[00:59:55] Like...

[00:59:56] And...

[00:59:57] Honestly...

[00:59:57] Now that I'm thinking about it...

[00:59:58] Like the way he was describing...

[00:59:59] Like how Hyrule Field looks...

[01:00:01] Like aside from Hyrule Field being almost endless...

[01:00:03] Uh...

[01:00:04] It was also completely dark...

[01:00:05] Like completely black around the character...

[01:00:07] That's basically just being in Wolf Link's like...

[01:00:09] Extrasensory form...

[01:00:11] Like where...

[01:00:11] Because like...

[01:00:11] Like...

[01:00:12] It creates a spotlight around the character...

[01:00:14] But everything else around you is dark...

[01:00:15] Uh...

[01:00:15] It has like a...

[01:00:16] A fog of war around you...

[01:00:19] So...

[01:00:20] Um...

[01:00:20] And it's just in this instance...

[01:00:22] Uh...

[01:00:22] The fog of war encrouches on you...

[01:00:24] As you get...

[01:00:24] As you uh...

[01:00:25] As you move deeper and deeper into this Hyrule...

[01:00:28] This liminal Hyrule Field...

[01:00:32] But...

[01:00:33] Yeah...

[01:00:36] So...

[01:00:36] No recommendation?

[01:00:38] Yeah...

[01:00:39] I can't really recommend it...

[01:00:41] It needs to do a lot more...

[01:00:42] Like...

[01:00:43] Again...

[01:00:43] Like we...

[01:00:44] What you said before...

[01:00:44] The concept is good...

[01:00:45] It's just...

[01:00:46] It doesn't go hard enough with it...

[01:00:48] Yeah...

[01:00:48] It's so subtle that it could just be...

[01:00:51] A secret...

[01:00:52] Programmed thing that the developers did...

[01:00:59] Uh...

[01:00:59] Well then I guess...

[01:01:00] Uh...

[01:01:00] Yeah...

[01:01:01] Two non-recommendations...

[01:01:02] And one partial...

[01:01:03] Bordering on non-recommendation...

[01:01:05] For...

[01:01:05] Midna Soro...

[01:01:08] Uh...

[01:01:09] But that has been...

[01:01:10] This week's episode...

[01:01:11] So...

[01:01:18] Sad...

[01:01:19] Twitter's dying...

[01:01:21] Uh...
