## Transcript

on the channel. This channel where we finish games. playing more Control Resident today. This game has been awesome. Uh we yesterday. Turns out he's pretty awesome. So, uh a lot of awesome. Yeah,
a lot of awesome. But we're going to be playing this until probably around uh 11 lunch and we're going to come back and do some Valheim do some Valheim Ashlands today.
It's going to happen. It's going to happen. Dexer says Michael Cassernin. Yep. That's who we interviewed yesterday and he was awesome. Yep. tell is just doing doing what he should
be doing. [laughter] There's great mindsets there. There's great mindsets there. Great lines of thinking.
release?" I am I am very excited to see what everyone thinks of it. Very much so. I hope you guys enjoy it even a fraction as much as I have enjoyed making it. The demo is going to be cool, man. But
I'm going to be real with you. I'm I'm I'm really excited for EA. EA is when kind of everything comes together. It's uh you know, it's going to be a an early iteration and it's and it's going to be the start of something big, but it's
going to need work obviously, but I'm still very excited, dude. I'm ready to start that journey. Ready to get this game to be the best Ready to get this game to be the best version of itself it can be. Taxi. Can
we get to this taxi? Let's try
I don't think it was going through it. Didn't we like pop up on the side or something? I think it was the other side. I feel like we are supposed to be able to get into this parking lot through the
inside though. Let's check this real quick. It definitely seems like we should be able to get up this way.
way up there. Okay. No paths out, nothing. Uh, Mattalo
back and forth with games this month has helped you stay focused by not hyperfocusing a game and extending your ability to play it? I find myself struggling with my Valheim run despite loving the game as it's the only thing
I'm playing right now. >> Uh, I don't know to be honest. Maybe >> Uh, I don't know to be honest. Maybe could be. know, I I have goals that I'm I'm hitting. SO, [groaning]
standard text to speech. You don't really need AI for that. That's not really need AI for that. That's not necessarily AI. Should be able to get up from here, I'm thinking.
Okay. So, that taxi is definitely stuck in the mold. in the mold. Um look at this. Nice, dude.
Any plans for uh W the remaster? Not right now. Nope. Nope.
at. Hello. >> Hey, looks like we're still not in the same place, but I'll keep trying. >> You You said that last time. There's no way out of here, is there?
once now. You can, too. >> What? But if you're not trapped, then you're nowhere near me. I need to go.
>> No, no, no, no, no, no. Just wait. >> For how much longer? >> For how much longer? >> I just trust me. Please. I'm coming.
Okay. Oh, we got to rebuild the taxi. Cool. [groaning]
color. H
is that it? No.
we we may be checking it out at some point. I mean, it it looks I've never really done an Ace Combat game and it'd be a great opportunity to use my HOTAS, so could be could be something like that.
could be could be something like that. We'll see.
Scadoosh. Um, there. Nice. Taxi. Oh, wait. Is that a bumper? Taxi. Oh, wait. Is that a bumper? What is that? That a I have no idea
what's going on around me. Uh, you go there. I don't think I think you're like a cop thing or something.
Whoops. Okay, we're going to go to Arisha's briefing. Arisha's briefing. Let's go.
How does one I need a better way to get up on top of this building. Man, what is this little office thing? Can I get in here? I can get in here. What are you? You're a weird little suspended
office, huh? That's strange. huh? That's strange. Have we done this?
I'm pretty sure we did this, but I think it I think it respawned an enemy. it I think it respawned an enemy. Let's go take a look.
How do we keep going here? It's like over this way.
this way. No.
way, but I can't seem to go anywhere here. I go this way. Is this where you want me to go? No, that just goes back out.
Huh. All right, we're going to go back out for now. I don't know what that is.
All right, let's head over to here.
here where we weren't able to easily do that before. remedy game? Yeah, I'm having a great time with it. It's basically an action
adventure take on the remedy universe and uh it's working great. I'm loving and uh it's working great. I'm loving it.
action adventure combat I've ever played, but it it definitely fits the played, but it it definitely fits the world and it works. No question.
GO UP NOW. How would you compare this to the first control? Very different. Not Not nearly control? Very different. Not Not nearly as immersive, but far more actiony.
as immersive, but far more actiony. Yeah.
Beep. That's right. Well said. I agree, too. back in the day? >> The guy I expected to save.
>> Back it. Ever take that break? >> I'll take my sir. >> When was your last break, sir? >> Oh, don't worry about me. I have had a lot of coffee, >> my man.
west incursion zone has proven to be another unique specimen. Oh, this is the Conversely, it can mean there's still a blank of the person inside the resonant the world or technically both can be true.
Further studies are needed to determine whether this is a pattern that we can recognize with the resonant entities in general. Oh.
that of a blank burning and melting blank. It is unclear if this was only randomized way or the industrial environment this entity resided in at the time of transformation was a contributing factor.
Cool. However, new theories also emerged. Preliminary evidence suggests may have blinked. blanked were found near the resident entity's location. patterning to influence the entity's final form? But how to get there in the
final form? But how to get there in the first place? The mold. Yep. The mold entity.
Cool. What else we got in here before we talk to him? >> Wow. >> I just got word that the hiss tremors
near the evac site, and they're only getting stronger. The H one out. getting stronger. The H one out. >> Cool.
I'm glad you made it out of the evac site. If you're expecting a thank you, don't. The only reason I called you here is because we need something expendable. We recovered the corpse of the resonant
entity you killed. Pope says it's essentially a big amplifier for patterning resonance. Research is working on weaponizing it. Now, >> Pope's calling this weapon the cancellation field device or CFD. Now, I
don't want to get into the science, so think of the resonant entity's corpse as a gun with no bullets. At the bottom of the sinkhole, there's a source of high the sinkhole, there's a source of high pattern resonance. That'll be our ammo.
come back. >> Mhm. Exactly. Pope sent the team down, sinkhole. >> They didn't get far. We've installed the makeshift diving belt. Need you to ride it down and install some probe relays at
it down and install some probe relays at the bottom. >> On their descent, a hiss tremor hit the surface. They reported the walls started moving. No word after that. The diving bell we pulled up was crushed.
Don't worry, we made a new one. To make the CFD work, we need power. Lots of it. We set up cables drawing electricity from New York's power grid and ran them through paranal junctures below the city. This synchronicity effect will
calibrate the electricity into a form the CFD can use. >> Bro said he didn't know science and then hit us with that. >> My team was just about finished when the subway station they were last working in
subway station they were last working in vanished. >> No idea. But the team did report similar occurrences happening on a smaller scale
close to the junctures. They got most of the work done before they uh disappeared. Three stations have already been rigged to reroute power. The meant to funnel all that energy to the CFD.
>> Somebody said, "Why does this guy hate Dylan so much?" So, the thing to little bit spoiler of control, but I'm assume most people have played it, but this is kind of important to know for this. Um, Dylan was a conduit for the H.
this. Um, Dylan was a conduit for the H. The H is the entity that essentially took over control and killed most of the Federal Bureau of Control when it first entered our realm. It's what you basically fight in control. So I I don't
remember if Dylan was the actual fulcrum, like if he was the cause of it, but I know he was directly involved and at one point taken over by the Hist. So at one point taken over by the Hist. So he he was on the other team when the
team destroyed the f the the the the Bureau of Control and um they're because they want to blame somebody and he's he's the Oh, Trench Trench was
actually corrupted first. Yeah, Trench is the one the previous director of control. Trench is the one that used the side projector to go into the H realm. And then when the H came in, Dylan got taken over,
right? That's I think that's the order of operations. And then as the H was destroying the the Federal Bureau of Control, the FBC, instead of them destroying Dylan like everyone else, they were using Dylan as a tool to also
help do all that. So, and then and then Jesse breaks the connection between Dylan and the Hiss. Yes. So, everyone everyone, to be fair, everyone did see Dylan killing people. So, you know, that could be that could
that could make a lot of sense why they would feel so wronged by him, even if it wasn't him at the time. Um, to be clear, it did make it very very clear that that the hiss was driving Dylan insane. In fact, at one point in this, we were in
like a flashback and we had options to tell people something while we were in was in us. And any option we picked would say something totally different because the hiss had taken him over, which was really cool. I like that a
lot. But um yeah, so he was he was clearly not in control of himself. You want to stay out of your cell, find the problem, and fix it.
I can handle it. >> And get to work.
We're going to escort the probe relays into the sinkhole. Morning, Wolf. What's up, buddy? Do I need to fast travel for this? Um
>> 137 months and the unsub button haunts my dreams. I just can't find it. After 137 months of trying to free the mods via direct action, I have finally succumbed to evil. Hire a lawyer to try and free the mods using the law. I know
this is a low move, but we must free the mods. Co, expect a letter from my lawyer mods. Co, expect a letter from my lawyer this week. I'm not convinced that Hippie knows what a lawyer is.
>> Then again, he does smoke a lot of weed. So, I don't know. We'll have to see. Bird law, probably.
Sir, that was a solid ledge. All right. sending you into the sinkhole is a good idea. I don't know what's down there. Tried arguing with the ree, but I was overruled.
>> Okay, great. Glad to hear it. great. Glad to hear it. >> That was a bit awkward.
>> I'm sure this is going to go well. >> Zoe, I'm in position over the sinkhole. Ready to dive. >> Okay, stay on the bell and stand by. Remember, the resonance we need is strongest at Bedrock. Get to the bottom,
install the relays, then get out. Radio won't reach that deep, so I'm switching us over to >> speaker system. >> speaker system. >> Oh, hold on. speaker system.
on our end. Yeah, sorry. Where did the operator go? More urgent than this. Well, is someone else authorized to operate that? No. No. Right. protocol. Yeah, I get it.
So, just to double check, why do we need an engineer for this? Is it like a really complicated system? A lever. So, up, down. Yeah. Worried you're going to scratch the paint, huh? Hit something. Parking ticket.
You strike me as a risk taker, Adams. If you don't tell, I won't. of this >> protocol. You're right. Of course. Let's wait for the only person authorized to operate a lever. No, she's back.
operate a lever. No, she's back. Fantastic.
It's destabilizing the sinkhole. You've got to find a way to clear it, Dylan. got to find a way to clear it, Dylan. Heat.
Oh, >> I'm fine. >> So, I used my pet a lot that time, and I realized that by spending the the power
on the pet, I'm not able to keep my flame buff on me the whole time. So, I may I may honestly ditch the pet to just keep the the flame buff on me. Huh? We'll keep playing with it. >> I'm all right.
>> Good. Listen, this is the furthest Pope's team Listen, this is the furthest Pope's team needed before, you know. We have no idea what's beyond this point. >> Let's find out.
>> An apartment building. >> Did everyone get out in time? full formed in the early hours of the AWE. >> We don't know. >> God damn it. Got another disruption.
>> God damn it. Got another disruption. Keep your head up. The heck there. Dan. DAN.
DAN, DAN,
[screaming] Oh god. Oh god. Oh god. Oh god. Oh. It's Dan and Ann. Hi Dan. Hi An.
going to go for it. Yeah. >> Looks like the disruption's cleared. >> Looks like the disruption's cleared. Nice work,
>> Awesome. >> Zoe, did you have family in the city? personal. Stand >> cosmic kiss. Thank you so much for the kind words, buddy. The team here is amazing.
we're not friends and you don't know anything about my family, so drop it. >> Look, are you ready to go or not? >> Oh, I'm ready.
probe has been released from the diving bell. Install the relays, then get out.
They just they just give us so many unique things, dude. I tell you. unique things, dude. I tell you. What in the hell are we doing now? What in the hell are we doing now? Okay, where am I taking you?
While carrying the probe relay, look at the radar to find the correct drop the radar to find the correct drop location.
>> Don't forget to activate the relays once you place them.
say it from the other side. I am entirely not high enough for this right now. Um, all right, let's try another one. >> [laughter] >> This is crazy. Uh oh. Over here.
can't really do like Oh, there we go. We can't do that. Okay. No. Is that right? Oh, no. No. Here. Here.
Is that right? Oh, no. No. Here. Here. There we go.
That's it. You did it, >> Zoe. Something's happening down here. >> What's that? What's that? What does that even mean? Yes. Dumb it down for me, please. Dylan, are you on the bell? Get on the
diving bell now. We're going to pull you up. Dylan, talk to me. Zoe, I can't reach it. Do >> you copy? What's going on down there? Dylan. Dylan.
One [clears throat] second. I have a cat that's thinking of uh causing mischief. eyes. We're just going to hold our coffee until he has decided where to go and what to do. Hi, Zo. How you doing this morning? What's up, my dude? Just
going to stand there. He was literally standing directly over my coffee just He's going to decaffeinate you. That's right. He wants to Hey. So,
right. He wants to Hey. So, okay. There you go. [laughter] Here you are, big man. Okay, we're good. We're good.
Awesome. All right, [sighs] All right, [sighs] let's do this.
A hiss ruiner. Cool. Cool. Okay, that was a fun fight.
they don't really know if it's biological or chemical or it's it's the hiss is kind of like a virus but in resonance.
So it's kind of an interesting concept. So resonance we we think of resonance mostly as like hot and cold, right? Like atoms vibrating like like that kind of resonance. The hiss is apparently a creature that exists in that resonance.
to compare it to, but it's like it's like basically like a it's like a it's like a phase creature. It's like a creature that lives in vibration and resonance. It's it's a it's it's a signal. So, it's almost from the sounds
electrical entity. It's some kind of like like organism that exists inside that. And the thing about it is that anything that's resonating with it, if it gets in contact with another thing that's not resonating with it, it
infects it and then it becomes hiss. So that's that's the idea of the hiss is it's like a it's like this vibration. It's a vibe essentially. It's a creature that lives in a vibe that spreads as much as it can. Does the hiss have a
hive mind? So control is kind of flirting with the hiss having the the whole remedy verse is is kind of flirting with the idea that like the flirting with the idea that like the mold and the hiss have like a
consciousness. But the thing that we're really not sure of is are are these consciousnesses the actual entities themselves or is it like a boardlike entity controlling it or is it something speaking through it and
using it as a tool? So like the the I think they very purposefully obfiscate always guessing. They don't give us a lot of hard answers. They give us a lot of cool container sci-fi framework but then the biggest questions they kind of
leave unanswered. So we're we're all kind of still figuring all this out. of the best parts of the Remy is how they do this stuff. >> Makes it so interesting to talk about and get dripfed little clues and things.
>> I read you can you hear me? I don't know if you can hear this, Dylan, but we lost the bell. The sinkhole shifted and closed up on us. Research thinks diverting the resonance weakened its structural integrity.
it happened. >> Zoe, I'm here. Hello. >> Okay, look, I'll try to organize a rescue party, but I'm not sure we can reach you. Oh, [ __ ]
Listen, I will do everything I [laughter] can to [laughter] can to but he's just >> You won't authorize the resources to help me. I serve my purpose.
>> The bell's losing power. Dylan, I'm sorry, but you might have to
