For those who don't know- Terraformars- a manga where humans send roaches and moss to mars in order to terraform it, and then come back 100 years later and the roach are 8 foot black men that just rip their heads off. The series then basically starts a shounen style powers arms race (with copious amounts of blood and detailed gore) between the the roach men and their own genetically modified soldiers injected with bug and later random animal DNA. There is also a constant political subplot with humans that causes infighting between our super soldier astronauts. So it just becomes a cycle- Roaches wreck shit, then humans wreck the roaches with new powers, then the humans start wrecking their own shit, and then roaches come back with stolen super powers and weapons. Wash with blood, rinse, repeat.
TriplePalindromous Yeah the facial structure was intended to emulate primitive hominids. Some folks find reasons to get butthurt offended about anything
ReverendSyn This is the reason why people who see racism in this are racist themselves. Who sees those roaches and thinks "Yep, that's what black people look like!"?
Yeah. This oversensitive political correctness crap needs to stop. LIFE is offensive. Suck it up. Sorta like how many people campaigning against the Redskins are ACTUAL native Americans, and how much of it is just self-aggrandizing SJWs trying to look enlightened and compassionate to feed their egos?
I don't know anything about Le-a, but since I work in a call center, I see the weirdest names all the time. One lady's name was Mona, but she pronounced it like the painter Monet. Some of the best ones: Terrain, KDiamond, Delorean, Shaft Johnson, Malachi Outlaw, Yung Ju.
As a person who can play both, I prefer invert. There is no specific advantage to one or the other. Its only a matter of the perspective you feel is natural to you.
I actually finished this game and let me tell you, it had one of the most abrupt and unsatisfying endings in gaming history. In fact, the ending is such a letdown that I felt like I had wasted my time playing the game.
That sounds like my experience with Bioshock Infinite. I say this a lot, but as good of a game it is, it was a real big disappointment, and I don't think we should let that go. #NeverForgetTheMistakes I don't know why I used a hashtag but still.
DanielYellsAtPeople Your being unsatisfied with the ending doesn't mean it was bad. In fact, it leads me to think you just didn't pay enough attention to(or simply couldn't comprehend) the story. The ending was brilliant.
KJ Massey I think Bioshock Infinite was a great game, but the ending was really disappointing to me because it was a very cliche multiverse type ending, and it was the kind of ending that made the whole game's story feel pointless to me. It may have just been because I have seen multiverse theories handled better and expected something more but the ending still disappointed me. I'm not saying the game was bad, because it wasn't but it did leave me unsatisfied at times, and I'm really tired of people talking about how complicated/complex the story was, because it really wasn't, it was your run of the mill multiverse story.
Sorry. I just love Bioshock too much. I kinda wrote that angrily. I agree, the story wasn't complex. It was a standard multiverse story. However, the way it was handled with the brain creating false memories to fit the universe was brilliant. And how it came together at the end was done well too. I personally felt it was handled better than similar movies/stories. Personally My only real problem is the combat was kinda repetitive due to them COMPLETELY changing the game midway through production. Again...Sorry I was mad earlier. Oh and I think the Lutece twins were REALLY great side characters and their story tied in wonderfully.
Oh, yeah, I actually usually give Infinite a lot of shit, but the idea of your mind fabricating false memories so that you can handle the shift, was really cool. My main problem with it was probably just that I set my expectations a little too high, It's a great game, and the Lutece twins are awesome.
It's weird, because a real glaive is like a polearm, but for some reason video game glaives are always bladed boomerang type things... which I'm pretty sure isn't a real thing...
Technically Matt, a Glaive is a real weapon. It's a type of bladed polearm akin to that of say the naginata or guandao made by the Europeans. I'm not sure how the Glaive became associated with associated circular, rebounding, bladed weapons...but in all honestly I'm kinda glad it did since the name does fit IMO. I know it's not historical accurate...but it's become so ingrained in mind and I feel the name is so fitting that I don't care! Heck, the Glaive (and it's more powerful Prime Variant) from Dark Sector shows up in Warframe (The sorta sequel/spiritual successor to Dark Sector) and you can now do sick combo moves with it!
The real world equivalent of "The Glaive" (which I think became a thing after the fantasy movie Krull) is the Hunga Munga which is a much better name imo. Also Michael Gambon was in this!? Dude'll do anything for money though.
splat20 That's the African throwing blade-thing, right? Granted it's cool name, but when I think "I'm gonna Glaive someone!" I think of spinning metal star that cleaves through flesh as it flies through the air. See it can double as a verb too! But if I were to say I was "gonna Hunga Munga someone." it sounds like I am going to go on a sex-crazed rampage...and then cleave someone in half.
DamuEmran If you like Dark Sector, perhaps you might consider taking a look at Warframe? It's basically in the same universe as Dark Sector just thousands of years in the future were humanity is under the control of an oligarchy of mechanically modified clones, a cult of tech-savy merchents, and horribly-disgured-by-viral-nanites-monstrosities. Oh, did I mention you play as one of the distantly-related descendants of the main character from Dark Sector? Or the fact send descendants come to be in control of a suit of bio-tech armor that let's you command one of the forces of nature? and that etc. etc.
Inverted Y is for flight games. Using inverted Y controls in anything else makes you a broken meat husk that just happens to contain a skeleton but isn't as good as normal skeletons. The ones that don't use inverted Y.
This remains one of my favorite games, great story, memorable characters I actually cared about, a very good sense of humor, fun as hell game play, etc. I feel it is an underrated gem, and it is a shame it did not get more publicity than it did.
Man, I remember playing this game a long-ass time ago. I got past the intro level, got scared since I was just a wee babby at the time, and never touched it again.
Jones uniform at the end is reminiscent of the uniforms used in the old Kenner "The Real Ghostbusters" line for the "Fright Feature Heroes" Anyone old enough to remember those?
does anyone remember the game based off the movie: "Monster house"? If my memory is correct it was actually kinda cool. I would describe it like a game to introduce kids to the survival horror genre. You might even call it "Babby's first survival horror game".
Yeah, I played it on the gamecube, and I really think I would have liked it better if I hadn't finished Luigi's Mansion a few hours prior. but yeah it was a fun enough licensed game.
Ahh yes, video game developers, who can make realistic cloth movement but not female characters with long hair, cause hey you're not paying attention to half the main cast, you're paying attention to the drapes in the throw away background area, PRIORITIES!
You guys talking about the sound banks you forgot the most important one, the stock "jungle ambience" as in the random peacock. No matter where the characters are in a movie lmao!
A glaive is a real weapon but it is not a throwing blade. The name glaive for a throwing blade comes from the film Krull, where the throwing weapon was referred to as such. In real life a glaive is a pole-arm, a sword/cleaver/machete style blade mounted on a stave, sometimes with a small hook or prong on the back edge.
A glaive is indeed a real weapon; however, it is a polearm weapon in reality. A large blade on a stick; not the thrown, boomerang-esque blade weapons we know and love.
Yeah, the word glaive actually applies to a sort of spear-like weapon with a single-sided blade that extends out in a sword-like fashion, more meant for slashing from a distance, like a naginata(they're practically the same thing). The term 'glaive' as it's being used in Blade, Dark Sector, or Warframe, is more applicable to be a chakram throwing disk, or boomerang of some sort. I dunno who decided that they'd be called glaives, but its definitely not that.
"Nimrod" doesn't hold up as a name...because of Bugs Bunny. When Bugs Bunny first met Elmer Fudd, Bugs called him 'Nimrod' as a sarcastic compliment, because the biblical Nimrod was a mighty hunter. Kids watching the cartoon didn't know that, and assumed nimrod was a synonym for dolt, moron, idiot, etc.
This was sad to watch, because there were so many good ideas made with such ambition and it just obviously couldn't be what it was trying to, back then. Very ahead of it's time; quite a find. Thanks for this one, guys.
Love this game! It's atmospheric as fuck. I actually revisited it a year ago, and was surprised at how well (and spookily) it still holds up. I've never heard anyone else mention having played this game, so this will be cool to watch.
I'm really proud of princess Liam-sama, he used to only be funny when telling stories, he wasn't very good at observational humor like the other guys. But lately he's just been non-stop jokes
Pffft where did this guy learn to be a cop? America?
You mean like North America? The continent, no one says America to describe the United States man.
No worse, Los Angeles.
SuperNintendoZach A lot of people do...
Snide remarks about America aside, Jones DOES say he's from Detroit.
ReverendSyn Well then it has nothing to do with him being a cop.
For those who don't know- Terraformars- a manga where humans send roaches and moss to mars in order to terraform it, and then come back 100 years later and the roach are 8 foot black men that just rip their heads off.

Dude that's fucking sick.
That's sounds so awesome
TriplePalindromous
Yeah the facial structure was intended to emulate primitive hominids.
Some folks find reasons to get butthurt offended about anything
ReverendSyn
This is the reason why people who see racism in this are racist themselves.
Who sees those roaches and thinks "Yep, that's what black people look like!"?
Yeah. This oversensitive political correctness crap needs to stop. LIFE is offensive. Suck it up.
Sorta like how many people campaigning against the Redskins are ACTUAL native Americans, and how much of it is just self-aggrandizing SJWs trying to look enlightened and compassionate to feed their egos?
That Woolie in the intro gives me the spooks.
Woolie willies
Grabbed by the Woolies.
I don't know anything about Le-a, but since I work in a call center, I see the weirdest names all the time. One lady's name was Mona, but she pronounced it like the painter Monet.
Some of the best ones: Terrain, KDiamond, Delorean, Shaft Johnson, Malachi Outlaw, Yung Ju.
LMAO Shaft Johnson, thats more unfortunate than weird
Malachi Outlaw sounds like a Jaeger from Pacific Rim
The best thing is it's a call center for a military-based group, so you also get Seaman White, Petty Officer Petty, & Private Johnson.
fun fact: you are always in contact with at least 3 ghost butts at all times.
spooky (?) fact: ghost dinosaurs are a thing, and they're constantly trying to eat you
that is true
Ghosts constantly troll the living. I mean, what else are they gonna do?
A glaive is basically a saber on a stick.
I read that as "a saber on a dick".
Morgan Smith im more partial to a big romantic rubber fist on a stick
But to each his own
I wonder what mystery they'll solve thi-
Oh wait.
I remember loving this game back on PS2.
The only thing that could make this more hype is if they played Geist next
The only thing that would make you more hype is if they made another Battle Network with you in it.
Jose Leon Burgos Zaragoza
Fuck yeah! That'd be awesome!
MrGMoney1944 In battle network 3 he's a fucking pain when you're not used to enemies that move fast
Jose Leon Burgos Zaragoza
The fact that you're forced to fight him at the end makes it even worse.
Morgan Smith At least he's beatable in the end. And he's actually really easy
First Darkwatch, now this. It's like Matt is reaching into my Halloween childhood.
YOU CAN DO IT JIM HENSON SKELETON!!!
When I heard that, I laughed harder than I ever laughed before.
"It's no easy being dead" - Jim Henson 2014
I can't get over how quickly the main character shoots with the handgun.
It might be automatic
I love Woolie's explanation that "ghosts aren't scary...because they can't touch you." and not because they don't exist.
As a person who can play both, I prefer invert. There is no specific advantage to one or the other. Its only a matter of the perspective you feel is natural to you.
Rising Superstar Liam has finally become the Ghosthunter he was always meant to be.
That opening picture is one of the more terrifying things I've seen this month.
19:48
Liam: Just dance.
Me: Spin that record babe, da da do do
And no one is gonna get the ref >_>

Man I really wanted to play this back in the day
It's weird, because a real glaive is like a polearm, but for some reason video game glaives are always bladed boomerang type things... which I'm pretty sure isn't a real thing...
Blame the movie Krull for that.
Technically Matt, a Glaive is a real weapon. It's a type of bladed polearm akin to that of say the naginata or guandao made by the Europeans. I'm not sure how the Glaive became associated with associated circular, rebounding, bladed weapons...but in all honestly I'm kinda glad it did since the name does fit IMO.
I know it's not historical accurate...but it's become so ingrained in mind and I feel the name is so fitting that I don't care!
Heck, the Glaive (and it's more powerful Prime Variant) from Dark Sector shows up in Warframe (The sorta sequel/spiritual successor to Dark Sector) and you can now do sick combo moves with it!
I fucking love dark sector one of most underrated games from last gen.
The real world equivalent of "The Glaive" (which I think became a thing after the fantasy movie Krull) is the Hunga Munga which is a much better name imo. Also Michael Gambon was in this!? Dude'll do anything for money though.

I may be wrong here, but I think "Glaive" as a killer frisbee may have originated in the film _Krull_.
Red spinning lights are the universal symbol for "shit's fucked".
7:31 Hey, it's Vigo from Ghostbusters 2!
I never thought of the analog stick as the back of someone's head until now!
Man I adore this game :D played it through way back!
Ghost Hunter is actually a real hidden gem in gaming history. It actually becomes quite scary later on (some of the enemy designs are just fucked up)
I remember playing the demo of this way back.
Remember those demo disks in magazines?
Good times...
AWWW YEAH, GHOSTHUNTEEEER
I still wanna replay this game and finish it!
That slide down the ladder animation was kinda funny. 9:10 ish
Tyler Durden as : The Ghosthunter
You are all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world. *Swinging a gun around during the speech*
i cant get over that intro Woolie
Inverted Y is for flight games.
Using inverted Y controls in anything else makes you a broken meat husk that just happens to contain a skeleton but isn't as good as normal skeletons. The ones that don't use inverted Y.
The bosses in this look awesome
FULL LET'S PLAY, GOGOGOGOGO
This really needs a second episode though.
This remains one of my favorite games, great story, memorable characters I actually cared about, a very good sense of humor, fun as hell game play, etc. I feel it is an underrated gem, and it is a shame it did not get more publicity than it did.
Weapon nut here under the study of the Longsword and Meyers work. Glaive is, in fact, a real weapon. It kicks a LOT of ass.
Man, I remember playing this game a long-ass time ago. I got past the intro level, got scared since I was just a wee babby at the time, and never touched it again.
Jones uniform at the end is reminiscent of the uniforms used in the old Kenner "The Real Ghostbusters" line for the "Fright Feature Heroes"
Anyone old enough to remember those?
I'll be honest, when I was a wee lad, I rented this game and it gave me a case of the spooks.
I wanted a full playthrough of this game!! :OO
Man this game actually looked really good =P
i guess during the ghost rave the song was darude:spookstorm :D
I remember this game, it had a really creepy atmosphere, especially inside that old lady's spookhouse.
does anyone remember the game based off the movie: "Monster house"? If my memory is correct it was actually kinda cool. I would describe it like a game to introduce kids to the survival horror genre. You might even call it "Babby's first survival horror game".
Yeah, I played it on the gamecube, and I really think I would have liked it better if I hadn't finished Luigi's Mansion a few hours prior. but yeah it was a fun enough licensed game.
Ahh yes, video game developers, who can make realistic cloth movement but not female characters with long hair, cause hey you're not paying attention to half the main cast, you're paying attention to the drapes in the throw away background area,
PRIORITIES!
Women are hard to animate man especially when they are assassins
They did good with Tomb Raider Tressfx
Yeah for all those women with long hair you are going to see in a game about hunting ghosts with a male main character
I think we should just ban all video game hair long enough to require physics.
His God Hand dude you sound really fuckin mad
These games just aren't the same without our favorite ginger ghost pooping his pants.
19:06 - Randy Orton?
FULL LP GO GO GOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!
"well thats the beauty of ghost aye" fucking lost it
According to Wikipedia, yes the glaive is a real weapon. It's a single-edged blade at the end of a pole.
This is like the Precursor Shitstorm.
You guys talking about the sound banks you forgot the most important one, the stock "jungle ambience" as in the random peacock. No matter where the characters are in a movie lmao!
Matt is into chains and bondage, confirmed.
3:36 I thought that badge was a cat for a second and flipped my shit...
16:45 Vigo from Ghostbusters 2!? Well, at least he's after some babe and not a baby this time.
When Woolie said, 'I'm about to get biblical on that ass' I nearly died from laughing!
A glaive is a real weapon but it is not a throwing blade.
The name glaive for a throwing blade comes from the film Krull, where the throwing weapon was referred to as such.
In real life a glaive is a pole-arm, a sword/cleaver/machete style blade mounted on a stave, sometimes with a small hook or prong on the back edge.
Mrs. JIRA? Jeez Matt, that joke was deep in there, lol.
FINALLY A GAME I REMEMBER FROM MY CHILDHOOD.
Best Friends call it pop, 10/10 best lets players ever
Spooky Scary Specters. The new hotness in Halloween fear.
Just like what Mordecai said, " You can't touch ghosts, but ghosts can touch you."
That weapon you are asking about is a PT Cruiser, Matt.
They didn't have a GHOST OF A CHANCE!
A glaive is indeed a real weapon; however, it is a polearm weapon in reality. A large blade on a stick; not the thrown, boomerang-esque blade weapons we know and love.
"You can use guns to open cans of pop"
Little do the Zaibatsu know that the soviet PM Makarov contains a bottle opener.
To be fair tho its from russia so its expected to come with one.
Ghastly used to scare me as a child, mostly because of some episode in the pokemon anime, forgot which one though.
Yeah, the word glaive actually applies to a sort of spear-like weapon with a single-sided blade that extends out in a sword-like fashion, more meant for slashing from a distance, like a naginata(they're practically the same thing).
The term 'glaive' as it's being used in Blade, Dark Sector, or Warframe, is more applicable to be a chakram throwing disk, or boomerang of some sort.
I dunno who decided that they'd be called glaives, but its definitely not that.
NERD!!!!!!!! Now you'll never get in the skeleton frat.
NEVER EVER!!!!!
I remember buying this game because my parents wouldn't let me get RE4.
7:16
Liam is definitely canadian, ay.
You guys should play Ghostbusters The Videogame! It's rad!
Is it me or does Liam say "Eh?" a lot more... His Canadian is showing!
"Nimrod" doesn't hold up as a name...because of Bugs Bunny.
When Bugs Bunny first met Elmer Fudd, Bugs called him 'Nimrod' as a sarcastic compliment, because the biblical Nimrod was a mighty hunter. Kids watching the cartoon didn't know that, and assumed nimrod was a synonym for dolt, moron, idiot, etc.
Oh man, I remember this game.
the thing is, woolie, I have legitimately met a la - a before.
Is this evil within?
25:12 - Hm, my best friend, he's a security guard, and he said he got someone with "La-a" on their driver's license. 'Lah-DAY-sha'
So yeah, not sure if he was fucking with me or not, because this was ages before I heard about it being circulated online.
Apparently, the cop guy in this game went to the same gun safety class as the detective from Plan 9 from Outer Space.
this was a really underrated game, thanks for spotlighting it
A glaive is a type of pole-arm from Asia that has a blade on the end kinda like a halberd.
19:56 the ghost of fart gas
This was sad to watch, because there were so many good ideas made with such ambition and it just obviously couldn't be what it was trying to, back then. Very ahead of it's time; quite a find. Thanks for this one, guys.
Chaos Theory kicks ass.Best Splinter Cell game eva!!
You guys should play shadow hearts !!!
Ending notwithstanding, you guys need to do a lp of this game.
Wow...I was not expecting this. I thought this was based off the show when I saw the video title.
Love this game! It's atmospheric as fuck. I actually revisited it a year ago, and was surprised at how well (and spookily) it still holds up. I've never heard anyone else mention having played this game, so this will be cool to watch.
WOOOOOOAH FINOWA WATCHES TBFP
Melted BreadGaming Hahah yee!! The Zaibatsu has been a part of my daily activities since 2012 8-)
You know it's scary when you have a handgun with infinite ammo from the get-go
I'm really proud of princess Liam-sama, he used to only be funny when telling stories, he wasn't very good at observational humor like the other guys. But lately he's just been non-stop jokes
Bust in all over them spooky scary skeletons, like a ghost hunter on steroids and coffee.
I can't believe during their use of guns talk that no one mentioned chief Wiggums eating that doughnut with his gun.
Hey, I remember this game. I actually kinda liked it.
This game looks awesome!
Prince of Persia TSOT had blanket/curtain/whatever physics also! Quite a feat for the PS2 back then!
PLAY GEIST we wanna see dog bowl action
max headroom 4 lyfe
You can actually use a makarov to open a bottle.
Jericho Kayne would be way more metal if it didn't sound so much like Jerry Cocaine
i remember my dad got this game to review- it came in a special pack complete with a creepy burnt-looking doll
