It's so funny seeing his candid, completely unscripted reactions to all this when he always keeps up such a professional, confident personality in his reviews.

It is astounding the way the game never lets you get used to the crazy. Like he’s been playing for hours and still every new insane thing shocks him. The little man and the worms? Inscrutable. The entire Brunhilde section? Incomprehensible. It’s truly a madness simulator. Also I desire Alberich carnally.
@@teasot547 #Lowry really enhanced the experience. I remember someone posting his review thumbnail format on the cover and him yelling "That's not happening! That's actually never happening!"
The makers of this game claimed in promotional material (the mini-documentary featured in Mandy's vid on this game) that Ring has an amazing software engine that will give players unprecedented immersion, both visual and emotional. Keep in mind that when Ring came out in October of 1998, Final Fantasy VII was three months away from being two years old, Metal Gear Solid had come out the month before and Ocarina of Time was a month away from release. I think the amount of egg on their faces, combined with the widespread panning (outside of certain parts of Europe) is why Ring 2 is the way it is, Ring 1 was successful enough to warrant a sequel, but it fell into obscurity so quickly that they couldn't justify putting too much time, effort and money into it. The Ring games are essentially the video game equivalent what Jodorowsky's Dune would have been if it had gotten made; a butchering of a masterpiece by a pretentious, belligerent old psycho spouting complete nonsense, and coincidentally Jodorowsky tried to get Charlotte Rampling for his unmade Dune movie, but she flat-out refused after reading the script and seeing that he wanted to feature a massive scat-fetish orgy.
@@crimsondynamo615 I'm not joking. I mainly know this from watching the documentary Jodorowsky's Dune, about the failed production, in which this Chilean/French weirdo made some very weird surreal art house films like The Holy Mountain and El Topo (in both he casts himself as a god/messiah figure who literally shits gold in one of them....and in one of them his real life actual son who appears to not even be 10 years old spends the entire movie naked). Basically movies only pretentious pseudo-intellectuals or people stoned out of their minds could get any enjoyment out of, one of them caused a riot in Mexico City and he was chased out of the country. He's essentially mostly known in France and remains very obscure with small cult followings everywhere else. Essentially in 1974 when his movies got praised by John Lennon (like I said, stoned out of his mind) he was approached by a rich French businessman who wanted to enter the movie business and wanted do any project Jodorowsky wanted. He said he wanted to make a film adaptation of Dune, despite apparently having never read the novel (and leaves it ambiguous if he ever read it). The documentary is a shameless piece of hagiography that comes off like propaganda trying to sell you a cult leader...which Jodorowsky comes off as, as he calls those he roped into the project as his 'spiritual warriors' and those skeptical of him as 'soulless'. It also contains such insane anecdotes such as: Casting Salvador Dali to play the Emperor who's throne would have been a toilet that looked like two dolphins...and Dali was apparently fired off the project for supporting Spain's then dictator Franco...but was actually fired because his fee of 100,000 dollars a day was unfeasible. Orson Welles would have played Baron Harkonnen and Jodo claims he would have paid Welles with food from a certain French restaurant. Getting angry when special effects master Douglas Trumbull (special effects master behind 2001 and Close Encounters) didn't run out of the meeting he was in to meet with him, so hired then rookie effects guy and future Alien writer/Return of the Living Dead director Dan O'Bannon to do the effects because he happened to catch a showing of Dark Star that night. His eldest son would have played Paul Atreides but I suspect that's because he knew no one else would have obeyed him. He openly compared what he was going to do to the source material to rape, saying something to the effect of "You must rape it, like you must rape your bride, otherwise you will never have children." He wanted it to be fucking 14 hours long. The scat-fetish orgy I mentioned was mainly just an orgy with people shitting into some huge underground chamber pot as part of a ritual, which...yeah, is enough to turn anyone off, and given certain things in his comics and the whole shitting gold thing it's clear he has a poop fetish. The project died because no studio was willing to put up the cash for a 14 hour movie that would have cost a then-unprecedented amount of money for a movie, especially a sci-fi movie, as the genre wouldn't truly be taken seriously by the entertainment industry until Star Wars (ironic since Star Wars is more fantasy than sci-fi) and they all basically said "We want to make Dune, just not with this psycho." He, and the documentary, then goes on to claim that movies like Star Wars, Flash Gordon and even the Masters of the Universe Movie ripped off his unmade movie because a book of (admittedly quite nice) concept art had been shopped around Hollywood to sell the project. Keep in mind Star Wars began development in 1973, a year or so before Jodo began planning his Dune and Flash Gordon is based on a comic strip created back in the 30's! And if the Masters of the Universe movie is ripping off anything, it's Jack Kirby comics. He would later rework his ideas in Euro-comic book series, and hilariously attempted to sue Columbia Pictures and Luc Besson claiming that the movie The Fifth Element ripped off his comic The Incal, which was laughed out of court because the judge had to point out to him that not only did he not create or own the concept of a huge futuristic mega-city, but that the Incal's artist also worked on the film so there were bound to be similarities. Afterwards he claimed he wasn't responsible for the lawsuit, but the publisher. Sorry for the long comment, but as you can see, the French artists are a bunch of fucking weirdos, I think it's safe to say they're putting something in the water over there.

Maybe you’re thinking of the Ring 1 part 2 vod, that’s the one that got butchered with copyright claims. That’s why there’s so little of it in this compilation, it’s all I could salvage.
I think its this. At least Omikron did some interesting things and some of the music was done by David Bowie. But I honestly can't think of anything that Ring did that was new for the time or even well done.
Omikron isn't As hard to decipher where the fuck you are. That's the only thing it doesn't at least tie with the duology. Well, that and I don't think* there's a waiting puzzle in Omikron.
Do you know if the original videos for the streams are anywhere? I saw it several times here on youtube but they have been copyright'ed to death and now 90% of the videos are just mute. It's such an amazing stream I just wanna download it to watch it on my own time.
Me coming into this video: Oh I would love some Mandalore highlights Me, when I realize what 'Ring' this is talking about: oh snap genshin impact theory time
A reminder that he wasn't able to save the game for a while, hence the encroaching madness in each of those early deaths.

@@TheTwitonmaybe the real horror are the saves we lost along the way.

Monke moment
Good call, I laughed until I coughed.
cave men discovering fire noises
fuck slide puzzles
The monkey dies; Man is born
wow, he wasn't exaggerating just for entertainment sake. this is madness.
It's so funny seeing his candid, completely unscripted reactions to all this when he always keeps up such a professional, confident personality in his reviews.
He sounded like a caveman discovering fire solving that slide puzzle
Mandy going full monke at 20:55 had me rolling
immediately on the edge of weeping from the start
I love how he's calm for the most part in his videos and on PST, but this stream shows what's he's like when pushed to the brink of madness!
All his streams are descents into alcoholism and madness
4:19 "oh im him now!" Mandaloregaming said while punching the handicapped
I'm him, I continue to be him.
Alberich would absolutely drop some lines from Dracula Flow as he clowns on everyone around him.
Im extremely tempted to isolate Alberich's "my dear meme" for soundboard reasons
This game actually made a grown man scream, "it can't be".
“Egads!”
Seek the nibelungen ring
Become the nibelungen lord
not seeing twitch chat or hearing anyone talking to him really makes his decent into madness extremely compelling

He really got a low voice that he has to yell for everyone to hear him
I remember watching this stream live, and it was a real experience. Thank you for making this compilation.
It was incredible. And this compressed *so much* of Mandy going utterly insane in the first chapter, as he had to replay, and replay, and replay it
@@teasot547 #Lowry really enhanced the experience. I remember someone posting his review thumbnail format on the cover and him yelling "That's not happening! That's actually never happening!"
It's interesting that this game is somehow less comprehensible than scorn
It's always interesting when art intended to be vague & disjointed ends up more cohesive than bad art trying to tell a consistent story.
1:00 I have never, EVER heard Mando being this excited about anything, and I've watched quite a few podcast eps and other vids he's in.
the only thing i can think of is when the movie switched and he realized they were making him watch bobs burgers on pondering.
Thank you for this comp. I'm gonna be frank I was too scared to watch the entire thing
I totally agree with you since the Druids vod was so amazingly schizo
The Hammer Haunt "Join us!" voiceline is a great choice for a sub sound.
