    The fact that turtle being placed in the center of the kitchen so it has constant attention from the people in the house makes me happy.

    I was not expecting Yuri Lowenthal to be voicing the Main Character. He's been everywhere this year.

    This is so cool! It gives me big time "The Island" vibes. It was a 2005 movie with Scarlett Johansson and Ewan McGregor that has the same story threads along the lines of the "dream vacation escape". Thank you for playing this Gab!

    • @kittehgo

      Yeah I thought of that movie immediately. Especially with the "prize" of leaving.
      The beginning and end of that movie were really good. Too bad the rest was just a soulless succession of Bayxplosions.

    • @Bridenbrad

  • @MandaRenegade
    @MandaRenegade Рік тому +2

    LMAOOOOO the references are ABUNDANT! I tried to find them all for everyone 😂
    - Arcadia itself = totally a play on EPCOT. Even has a lot of the similar "worlds"
    - Steve Just = Steve Jobs (Apple)
    - DJ Zoom = could easily be DJ Khalid, but also DJ Zhu (American musician)
    - Tiffany Amber Gaines = Tiffany Amber Thiessen (Saved by the Bell)
    - Walton last name = Walton family owns the monopoly of Walmart, also mix with Walt as in Disney (Elijah has Disney vibes)
    - speaking of Elijah, his little 2D friend is a play on Figment from Journey Into Your Imagination
    - "Bargain Beastie Boys" is a reference to the Sabotage music video
    I'll find more in the next video! ❤

    Thanks for playing this. It's fun to watch, but I don't think I would like to play it myself. Just not my cup of tea for the game play style. Still very enjoyable! I bet his "daring escape" is part of the show too. Maybe gus isn't dead and they just did that to get him moving.

    I've had this game in my wishlist for months and when I found out today that it came out I was so sad bc I couldn't play it. But then I thought "This game is really a Gab kind of game, I wonder if she'll play it". I guess I'm psychic now?

    Definitely a nice tribute! 😄

  • @gpcheng87
    @gpcheng87 Рік тому +2

    totally agree with the other comments here about how parts of this game are referencing movies (obviously "The Truman Show", "winning" island getaways from "The Island", the first guy giving off Walt Disney vibes, the Walton family in this game might be a reference to Walt D. but also maybe the Walton family that founded/owns Walmart...etc). Just wanted to add to the list that I think new manager at 10:15 is 100% giving me Bill Lumbergh from "Office Space" vibes, down to the glasses, suspenders and even the yellow tie. 😅

HOW AWESOME! and i also think the lady who you play as that was talking to trevor(havent finished the game lol) was the voice of delilah in firewatch!! she also sounds familiar

    I always wanted a mail tube when I grew up. This reminds me of this old ride at Disney Epcot in Florida.

    A friend of mine told me spider plants were unkillable and low light. It tried dying. Low light for people is WAY too low for even low light plants. I bought it a light. Then I had space for more plants. Then I ran out of space and got another light... And another. I'm now growing 11 plants, some of which are called "dramatic" by plant people 😂 100% it was a watering or light issue. Most plants are really happy drying up between waterings. They're dying to sit under the average aquarium light if they can't be in a window, though!

    • @Palitato

    Only one episode in and I'm already getting vibes of the book series I'm currently reading. See, I just finished Wool, the first part of Hugh Howey's Silo series, and in the silo, the higher-ups don't like when you try to talk about what happened or what's outside the silo. When they catch you, you're fitted into a custom-made cleaning suit and sent outside the silo to clean the sensors that provide an image of the bleak wasteland outside to the screens in the silo's topmost floor. But once you're out there, you only have just enough time to clean the sensors before you run out of oxygen and the toxins in the environment break down your suit, slowly killing you. Being selected for the Edge Travel Grant sounds disturbingly like being sent out to clean, and I LOVE it.
    (also, go read the Silo series if you haven't; I've only read Wool so far, but it's great. I'd watch the TV show that premiered earlier this year, but I don't have Apple TV+.)
