Mailbag: Fleshing Out the Inside Collector's Edition

lewd

Love the thumbnail.

Oh my

More companies should collab with Real Doll on Collector's Editions is all I'm saying.

@namerson23: Remember the Dead Island zombie torso? How about Dying Light finally releases what Dead Island wanted to.

Beautiful. Assimilate me.

I want it.

Oh I remember this thing.

Did they really announce this 3 years ago? That doesn't seem right at all. I sorta remember thinking "really? a collectors edition now?"

It looks like a mass of melted M.U.S.C.L.E. figurines. I was hoping it would be at least remote-controllable, so you could take it for a spin around the office.

This is really going to help flesh out my Brad soundboard.

Brad: "Let's make this premium. Then anything goes."

The real business move would be to release this regular mailbag with the censor mosaic and only premium members get the raw uncensored version.

That's a wad of flesh.
It's like, weirdly heavy.
Why does this thing look wet?
Do I shove this in there?
But it's like...too big.

Listening to 5:14 onwards on its own is a real treat

OverWatch 2 Fleshlight collectors edition "coming" soon...

Do I... Do I put my dick in it?

Jeff: "Fuck Inside".

Videogames were a mistake

Loved the crews reaction to touching the "flesh".

Seems to feel really good...

"Do I shove this in there? But it's... too big. Why does this thing look wet?"

Had to be on purpose!

I really like the jiggle physics on this!

The kid has to go inside the wad, right?

Inside is an incredible game and that is an appropriately unsettling bit of merch. Had a feeling when they announced this collab this is exactly what would be in the box.

I still don't understand what the heck Inside was supposed to be about. I hear so many folks rave about how it was so brilliant, but I just didn't get it...

Neat flesh wad, though!

They just had to put a hole in it, didn't they

"Why does this thing look wet?"

I feel weird knowing that a small part of my subscription helped pay for this.

@stevenwallaby: HA!... HA!.. HA! HAHAHA! Perfect! Nice pull, too. I forgot this existed.

A whole lot of good out-of-context lines in this video.

"There's a good heft to this... awful wad."

How do you wash/clean it? I'm asking for a friend.

Like, yes, the hole was for the stand. But...they KNEW when they were making it right? They HAD TO.

Oh Brad, it's for the stand alright.

Remember this was $375 and was delayed by a year. I'd be pissed lol

$375 USD for that. That’s almost $500 Canadian buckaroos. All I’m saying is there are casinos and then this collectors edition.

"Do I shove this in there? But it's like...too big! Why does this thing look wet?"

Totally appropriate discussion from Giant Bomb staff!

I'm still confused as to why and how this happened. Does Real Doll make other stuff that isn't explicitly for sticking your dong in, or are the people involved with Inside just horny pervs?

I can't believe it has a hole, I remember them wondering if it would, I feel traumatized

love a good hole

I cannot believe this actually came with a (plausibly deniable) dick hole.

INSIDE is very similar to LIMBO, but it's a bit more complex in terms of its game play mechanics. That said, while I don't think INSIDE as a whole is that more much interesting than LIMBO, I have to say that the point at which you play as the "flesh wad" at the end is pretty incredible, though it's something you'd need to play to really understand and get the full effect of.

Basically, you spend so much of INSIDE playing as a small boy, so you're limited in terms of strength, yet you can obviously manipulate things to a finer degree of detail. Once the boy becomes part of the "flesh wad" near the end of the game, you basically have to re-learn all of the game's mechanics, as you're suddenly very strong (to the point that you can smash through walls) but can no longer manipulate things so finely, causing you to have to rely on help from others when you previously wouldn't have needed it.

The sequence at the end puts a lot of trust in the player to re-learn the game play mechanics, and it's weirdly intuitive, despite the fact that you go from controlling a small human boy to controlling this massive collection of mashed-together bodies that feels and acts so differently. It's just a really cool sequence, and I honestly hadn't been that blown away by a game since I played Another World in middle school in the mid-90s.

I can understand why Jeff was so down on the game during the GotY deliberations that year, but I really wish there'd been more discussion on the significance of that end sequence, as there's really nothing else like it, in my opinion.

The sound Dave made with the "stand" hole was the most disturbing of all.

tfw you give ur fans the option to fuck their flesh orb.

Can someone overdub this video with sex moans when Brad stabs it w the stand

Should the little figurine be INSIDE?! I can never look Brad in the eyes again..

Brad's face going blank for a moment when he sees the hole is my favourite part. Too good.

Whole lot of shaking going on. Brad not bringing the cross-section. :)

Oh god it has a hole... which means at least one person somewhere has... yeah.

Inside is good. this for $300 nope
