Spookin' With Scoops 04/18/2013

The return of late night horror games results in a bunch of swearing at a computer monitor, thanks to Slender: The Arrival, DreadOut, and Among the Sleep.

The only thing scary about this is when patrick screams so god damn loud (though, I understand it's probably way scarier when actually playing it in a dark room by yourself with head phones on).

Still, glad to see the quality improvement, hopefully this becomes a regular feature

That was fast! Glad this was archived as I had to tune out from the live stream due to all the craziness in MA right now.

I seriously have so much respect for Patrick doing this series. I can hardly handle watching him play these games, let alone stream myself playing these games to an audience of thousands (?) of users.

Keep it up, duder.

Glad SWS is back. I love me some Patrick content.

But, and I know this is a stupid question and I'm probably looking too deep into it, but... why does Jeff's, I mean, Ghost Jeff's t-shirt have the number 88? I've always associated it with, you know, those guys (and, by extension, to those other guys). Is there another meaning to it that I don't know of, or was it something completely random?

I guess Patrick decided to upload this since he couldn't sleep. Too busy watching this Boston nonsense.

For future reference, when streaming you really do need to turn your brightness up higher than it recommends, and often higher than you think it needs to be. It's going to appear much darker on the stream, and in the case of when you're playing dreadout, it's completely impossible to see anything.

Seeing Patrick shit his pants at Tom from MarbleHornets just made my day. It is terrifying, but watching someone else vocalize their fear is way more fun than it should be.

Great to see a return on a better machine, but I think Spookin' with Scoops would be better if Patrick just focused on one game per stream; Have one stream be him trudging his way through Slender or something until he can't handle being frightening anymore or he gets too frustrated, and then the next stream either continue with the same game or pushing through another game like Clock Tower.

I don't mind the jumping around too much, but if he does want to show off so many games, he shouldn't have to burn so many in one stream. This could be a more proper, regularly done feature if he just does one game at a time.

Shame Patrick made the brightness way too dark with DreadOut. He should just have left the brightness as it were to begin with.

Nice bike! Although the most horrifying thing in this entire video is the state of the bar tape on it. That is not tip top tape.

@joeyravn: @alternate: no, it's actually 8.8, the score Jeff gave Zelda: Twilight Princess at Gamespot, which people had a huge shitfest over.

Man someone watched Grave Encounters. Also glad I'm finally over my tremendous fear of scary ass faces, but yeah, that sequence near the end in that Indonesian horror game reminded me a bit to much of Blair Witch Project

Amazing feature, keep up the good work Patrick!

In a lot of ways, I'm glad it was too dark - it was fucking scary enough as it was.

I love these. I've never liked horror in general but have started to dip my toe (film & games) since watching these and hearing you talk on the Bombcast and am finding that, even though I'm a big scaredy cat, I'm really enjoying them. Cheers and keep up the great work.

Currently playing through Metro 2033 due to your recommendation and it's great so far.

I saw a good chunk of this live. I kept having to leave the room during the Slender stuff, because I am a total wuss about scary games.

The great thing about a Patrick-only stream is that the haters didn't even bother tuning in. It was pretty civil from what I saw.
