@@thefiresworddragon927 the milk man would not use such insidious milk in his pure white bottles and you should be insulted for insinuating just that! Also this is a joke…I hate that I have to say that.
Having never played this game, it’s incredibly harrowing watching this supposedly teenage girl abuse and gaslight these animals like a terrible parent. I was not prepared.
This. I was getting very uncomfortable with the Fur Lancealot scene, but then it resolved just in time to make me absolutely explode with howling at the "sorry you had to see that" and Raz's face. While it certainly would be animal abuse if done in real life, in the context of this game - about mental health and trauma - this was an excellent metaphor for narcissistic, abusive parents, and I thank them for that.
The sequel is aimed at more mature fans, so it has quite a bit of black humor and mature themes. She's also part of the running joke where her younger brother would explode the heads of squirrels because he believed they talked about him behind his back. Of the siblings, she's the more evil of the two. Dogen is just an unstable paranoid with too much power who lashes out at perceived persecutors and bullies. This girl's behavior is her personality, and it's not caused by some kind of delusional break with reality. I feel like you could actually teach Dogen that his paranoid fantasies are just that and then help ease him along with meds. Sam however? Well it's very hard to convince people to change their personalities. Especially if what they're doing is already "working" for them and doesn't cause them personal anguish or problems with their life skills. She was probably born with her empathy completely missing. And you don't really "fix" these people so much as convince them that their rational self interest lies in upholding the social contract, maintaining some face and not being a jerk. You can't get them to care about other people except on an intellectual level. I listened to a psychopath talk about World of Warcraft and she framed her list of friends and getting free stuff as an _accomplishment_ in gaming the social system. The rest of us normies don't look at things that way. We just like hanging out and it doesn't cost so much to toss a few party favors or gifts your way. For us, the friendship is its own emotional reward, not some potential asset we can make use of later.

Sam has the best conversations, hands-down. The comedic timing, the facial expressions, just so much attention put into it. I wish the other interns and Raz's family were even HALF as good as this.
Telltale's Sam & Max games had funny writing and great voice acting! Sam (commenting on sign that says "RELAX" with a skull and snake attached to it): "That has to be the least relaxing sign I've ever seen." Max: "What about the one at the barber shop that says 'low fatality rate'?" Sam: "I stand corrected."

If I had a nickel for every time a game about delving into the psyche of a varying cast of people involved a scene about pancakes that revealed the true, darker nature of a person capable of hearing at least one animal talk I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
I get that reference, very funny, I won’t say the other game so the joke keeps it hilarity. man, could you blame them though, it was some sweet delicious pancakes they heard of.
i like how hes gone through many situations no 10 year old should ever have to go through and for most part was seemingly fine but draws the line at the possibility of sam using old milk/ eggs she found in the restaurant. dude was almost crying asking about the milk
Up until this point of the game, i was blown away by everything except for the new kid characters they introduced, but then this scene happened and now its 10/10
The way Raz just stood there when she threatened the squirrel was so relatable. I imagine I had a similar facial expression when I walked in on my brother getting down with his gf.
she's right about expiration dates. most can goods are good up to 5 to 10 years but usually they set the expiration date to the shortest amount of time the food can be stored which is around 2 years and yes it is so they don't get sued. also adding dirt and saw dust to food was how they expanded how filling the food was during times of food shortage and during war where food was harder to come by.
Not since Richard Horvitz's lone role in the DCAU in ‘02 has one of his characters delivered lines this emotionally-packed. It really shows off his versatility.
Raz seems like the kinda guy who I i could sit down with and have a serious talk about my problems, but also the kinda person I could goof off with and just hang out
The voicelines for this game are godtier u can tell they're all having a blast lol. Sam's VA does a great job but i can hear Sakura from naruto so much from her voice must be the same VA
if you talk to Oleander about it later, he states the pancakes are to reinforce the armour plating on his death bot, or something like that. But yes hopefully
"where'd you get the milk"
From the milkman, of course. His milk is delicious.

ikr? The voice acting in the whole scene is so good.
I've been laughing at that since I heard it. The line delivery is perfect.
And then when he finds out where it really came from his face practically screams that he now wishes it was the goats.
Trauma from the Milkman Conspiracy coupled with the increasingly distressing list of ingredients listed before
Where else would it have come from?? Rn I’m suspecting it was from the Milkman himself and there’s gonna be a new part lmao
I love that the squirrels still look like deformed sock puppets like the first game just in higher resolution.
If they changed the squirrel design, some people might have been unhappy.
I guess the squirrels are just abominable
I honestly never really thought of them is weird. They look cute in my opinion.
I can’t get enough of how scared Raz is during this scene. He looks downright traumatized hahaha!
“I think I had one of those pancakes my first morning here… did I eat bird milk and Dirt? Or *_WORSE?!_* “ - Raz probably

Tim Schafer and Co writing. Other video games can't even get near this level. And the voice acting just nails it.

It's really hard to pick favorites in a series like Psychonauts, but Samantha Boole might just be the best NPC.
Wait, so she's Dogan's older sister? So that's why she's just as weird as he is.
Yes, she is; and yes, weirdness does seem to be a Boole family trait.
By comparison, Dogan is the normal one.
Good questions. I feel like we need a Boole DLC.
@Gnurt More than likely married into it.

He was mostly scared about the milk because of the milk man in the first game lol
"Where'd you get the milk?" Immediately regrets asking.
Everyone saying the Boole family is weird, but Compton (grandpa) was mostly okay. Something must have happened in between the generations lol
Tbh Compton just seems to have just anxiety and such
while his Grandchildren seem to have their own mental issues that probably need a quick check up
Compton is just anxious and wholesome
The stuff comes from their mom's side apparently.
Eh, Compton still had problems even before the Maligula stuff. Like the incident that led him to meeting Ford shown in one of his vaults.
Maybe they just get calmer and more normal when they get older.

Ok, I wasn't expecting the near instantaneous response to where she learned to make pancakes 🤣🤣🤣
the fact that raz ask sam all about the pancakes' ingredients and then actually ask for one!
The milk part was my favorite 😂
Sam belongs in "don't hug me I'm scared"

sams va is so incredible because i was also scared when i talked to her
She respects the 6th flavor. Amazing
I'm with Raz, It's been over a decade, I need a definitive answer, *DID DOGEN MURDER SOMEONE IN COLD BLOOD?!*
The fact that the most popular memes from the Physconauts series are both about milk is ironic.
Where'd you learn to make pancakes?- Prison.
The concern of Raz in his eyes and facial expressions.
This game's got top tier voice acting, their delivery its excellent in every line, kudos to the actors and director
Well, good to know animal love runs in the family!
“They’re just the food industry protecting itself from lawsuits.”
Someone was looking deep
She's gotta be my favorite NPC in this game
Sam is so precious.
Raz.exe stopped working
Do you know whats more sad.
She is the only character that doesnt bully raz as much then the other characters in the beginning of the game
I love how nobody definitevly answers whether or not Dogan fucking killed someone.
You can't be a Compton without at least one person without killing at least one living creature.
Holy shit this game came out three years ago? Wow… time flies.
First minute and a half was a spitting image of my boss giving me a "pep talk"

Welp, this + the Nitro Rad video makes me want to purchase this game to experience this chaos😂
did you do it
The milkman will be most displeased when he hears about this
I love this girl so much
If Dogan never becomes a psychonaut I'm not getting the next game.
Raz's face during this encounter 😂 I made similar faces every time Sam spoke, she's so fucking weird and scary lmao
“It brought us closer, Fran”
the expressions in this game is some of the best parts
I liked the first game. And they've graphically updated its awkward skewed up cuteness of an aesthetic well.
I like to believe Sam actually poisoned Oleander with these pancakes
if you talk to Oleander about it later, he states the pancakes are to reinforce the armour plating on his death bot, or something like that. But yes hopefully
I was really hoping when Raz said where did you get the milk you only heard a faint little voice say I am the milkman my milk is delicious
“Hey sam, where’d you learn to make pancakes?”
“Prison.”
This is one of the best scenes of the game lmao
Kate Higgins did an amazing job with her. I really like her character. xD
Geez the voice actor for Moxxie from Helluvah Boss is in so many things of my childhood. Crazy.
Out of all the animals in there, the goat is the only one having a good time.
I knew she is my fav character the moment she was introduced.
"Where'd you learn how to make pancakes?"

I don't know man but im sure that the milkman that brought it has delicious milk
