Spookin' With Scoops 08/14/2013

Welcome to flights of stairs with questionable voice acting, a serious error, pixelated winters, and lots of Experiment 12 weirdness.

Why people think it's funny to send the Crew friend requests on Steam during the actual streams boggles my mind. It's annoying.

What sucks is that more and more horror films are moving to the month of January instead of October. For whatever reason they make more money during that month. Oh well, more time to focus on my horror movie and game backlog.

I very rarely play horror games, so watching this is a great way to see content I would otherwise miss. Though, the spinning castle makes me think my immunity to scary games is improving because of this, it's almost comical! Keep it up Pat!

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but the door not opening is actually a bug. That is the correct way. Ive seen the rest of this and id say its worth the restart and revisit, also its only maybe another 10-20 minutes of gameplay.

@beforet: I think there's some merit to a game that flashes jpegs like that, but if you do, it has to be something more and unique- say you get people to have a party, then have someone in a costume come in, kidnap someone and start torturing them, and every now and then there are flashes of it just getting worse and worse.

Of course, I do mean that as something without the screams and on top of something that's already scary, which Error 53 failed at pretty hard.

Okay, so I think the worst part about Error 53 was that it didn't trust itself. Or rather the people making it didn't trust it to be scary. Cause had it not been for those jpegs, I don't know, it had potential.

Patrick was THIS CLOSE to figuring out Chapter 6. If he had just moved over so that the upper left block was one thing away to the right of the orb(pinned against the wall underneath him), then pressed down, then pressed left, then pressed down, he would've have been through it. Ah well.

Another nice entry. Hopefully the rest of Experiment 12 is gonna actually work on the next show.

Anyways, yes to more Clock Tower and other classic horror games!

That error 53 game was just bad. Whoever suggested that should stop with video games.

Hey dude! It'd be great if in the video description you listed the titles of the games you're taking a look at. It'd be fine to scroll back through a video to find one, but annoying.

That Chapter 12 game looks like it sucks, with the exception of Chapter 5.

Patrick you should definitely install PCSX2 emulator and showcase various horror games from humongous PS2 library. PCSX2 now runs practically every single PS2 game worth giving a damn flawlessly. Its not that difficult to set up either.

I hear this "Fatal Frame" game is supposed to be kind of scary?

First time watching, I have to say that this is already a lot more appealing than PewDiePie, nothing against him.

It's really too bad about that 'glitched' game. The premise of it seemed really cool. In a way, it reminded me of the creepy pasta "Squidward's Suicide". It takes this really normal thing and just gets weirder and creepier.

It really sucks that it was ruined by some crappy jump scares. I mean, for fucks sake that is some "maze screamer" shit.

It would be so amazing if Patrick's wife or someone would sneak up behind him and just peek their head into the frame of his camera so you can just see their face. I keep looking at his thumbnail and wishing that would happen.

And, just to say it, this is one of my favorite features and I don't even like horror games too much.

This is why i always play horror games with my brother sitting right next to me. I honestly don't think i can last as long as patrick does playing these games on my own AND with freaking headphones on!

@patrickklepek: If you can acquire off the shelf capture software OBS can pull information from almost any of them. The Roxio Game Capture works ok for stuff like this especially with PS2 games.

God, I wish that was available on PC. I do own it, though, and maybe there's another option...

While you're at it, play SIREN: Blood Curse, because more people need to know about that game!

Cryostasis is fantastic; it's Ukranian though, not Russian. It's an absolute huge shame that it's no longer on Gog or Steam ={

Any horror games that rely on screamers get an automatic 'fuck you' from me. Its so cheap and lazy. I want games that try to creep me out and have a feeling of dread.

Look, wanting to make a amateur horror game is great, people should do it. But if you don't have the budget for proper voice acting, please try and tell your story without it, use some other means to convey your story, like text or even better environmental story telling. Poor voice acting just detracts from the experience.

@draxyle: Hey there. I'm the guy that made Hide, the pixel winter game. The concept wasn't copied from Slender; Hide came out about a year before. :)
