Playdate: Contradiction Part 01

Did not expect Paul "Avon" Darrow to show up! Did "Blake's 7" ever get much love in the US?

Blake's Seven ran on US Public Television in the early 90s. The series finally is a treasure.

Alright I bought my copy

Now to watch other people play the game I bought

Oh man, this was so great. Please keep going with this game guys!

Part 2?

Could this be the return of the Endurance Run? (Including Metal Gear Scanlon in that statement ;) ) Really enjoying these videos very much - the tree carving reveal and reaction was exceptional.

Probably posted on another Contradiction comment stream, but thought this YouTube clip of one of the actresses thanking GB was very sweet -

This is the most enjoyable series of videos I've watcher since the Persona Endurance Run. My fiancée and I just cracked up repeatedly throughout Part 01, and we are totally pumped to see more.

The game has such charm to it, too. I've already bought a Steam copy – to support the devs, to extend the playthrough, and hopefully push for a sequel! It makes it just that much better to see in the comments that the cast and creators are pleased with the GBeast coverage/response.

28:20 ALL DAY. EVERY DAY.

Nuff Said.

Gold.

Oh no no no.

I want the Contradiction series on Steam. "Contradiction 10: Blake 7 Space". Pls.

I hope they keep going with this!

I can only hope @vinny is setting something elaborate up and that's why we haven't seen another video yet. Multiple people have mentioned that these videos have driven sales not to mention the actors and creator/s of the game being on board. Not only that, these are the most popular videos on the site in the last weeks besides MGS.

PLEASE. MORE.

I bought this game after the quick look. So happy they're playing this gem of a game.

@nicolenomicon: Who? The game isn't on IMDB yet.

I think it's fine. It's more that he's saying, "if you saw this gesture, would it mean anything to you" rather than "does this gesture mean anything to you?" The latter is objective in that it could mean anything throughout history, so he could say "that's Ronnie James Dio's gesture" or something, whereas the former seems to imply that he's asking if there's a more personal meaning for the gesture. At least that's my interpretation.

It's also somewhat common to just phrase questions in the subjunctive form in English, even if it might not be the best way to ask said question from a grammatical standpoint. Colloquial speech and what have you.

@nicolenomicon: Thanks!

MORE PLEASE!

It just get's better and better. XD I really hope you guys keep playing and recording this game.

Subscribed! Nice work, GBeast.

If people would watch an entire play through of a game on YouTube I would bet they wouldn't have bought the game anyways but the flip side is people that wouldn't have known or bought the game to start with get introduced to it and have the desire to play it.

Look guys, my iPad just died out of warranty and the PC version sucks.... so I'm gonna need you to finish this game for me.

Bought it/finished it after watching these. Definitely everyone go buy it, still very entertaining to re-watch these guys go through it.

So it turns out I live half an hour away from the village where this is set.

I'm gonna go explore. Get a bag put on my head and have my XXX dvd's stolen. Standard English stuff.

Oh-My-GOD This picture has sooo much WIN in it!

I used this video to introduce my girlfriend to Giant Bomb, and I think she might now be hooked.

When they found that other DVD, all I could think was "......Is this going in some kind of awful True Detective season 1 direction?"

So magical, so awesome.

Recognize this? Nico Nico Nii !

Fuck, so close to a Johnny V Quick Look.

edit: Spoke too soon.

"Do Not Move: A XXX Parody"

Part 2

When James (Vapelord) revealed that autohypnosis is another name for scrying, I thought that was going to lead to a contradiction with Ryan because he had said earlier that he has no interest in that stuff. Maybe it was a thing, but not required to progress.

Made it about 5 minutes into this and had to buy it. This is too dumb/great...

I needed this so much that I finally signed up for Premium just for this. Worth it!

Beautiful. Hope there's a sequel!

love it!

Idk if they mention it later in the video, but I'm surprised nobody realized that the DCI they call in the beginning is MIKE JONES!

Oh my gosh Atlas is a Straight Edge course...XXX = FLEX YOUR HEAD.

Contradiction, a game everyone can appreciate.

This is my favourite series on GB

I love how much everyone perked up when Vapelord started ranting about Illuminati hypno-slaves.

RIP Paul Darrow

On this day in Giant Bomb history, Contradiction happened. And on this day in 2019, I'm here glued to it all over again.
