If you do a plasmid only run for BioShock 2, as a heads up, Telekinesis 3 is hilariously broken. Everything smaller than a Big Daddy becomes an instant rag doll.
I've never felt a greater connection to someone than when Lemon says "I need someone to validate my parking, and also I need someone to explain what validating parking means"
@@shadowrosegaming3566 Probably it is the act of getting an aproval on a special parking ticket, sometimes they do that in office buildings parking area, you get a ticket when entering and you either pay by it on the way out or you get a stamp for free parking. The idea behind it is that if you are a scheduled vistor(or you are on some other official buisness) you get to park there for free, if you are just there to park, than you will pay. Though i am not sure if it is called "paking validation" or what not.
Validate: 2. Make or declare legally valid. You used a public parking space, which requires you to either pay a fee for use, or prove you had a reason to use it for free, typically by receiving a voucher from local businesses serviced by the parking area, typically given with purchases.
Electro Bolt counters this. It's a tactic I'll often use. Light em on fire with Incinerate then if they jump in the water to extinguish it switch to Electro Bolt to finish them off. It's an instant kill if you zap an enemy in the water no matter what so this strat is actually pretty OP
I know being nice to the Little Sisters gives good tummy feels and all but I think in the long run it is actually mechanically better than harming them. The gifts you get feel like they add up to more than what you lose in the moment and there are special plasmids for being good. The one that makes Big Daddies your buddy was the only plasmid I used a lot of when I played this game all those many many moons ago.
It takes a while because you only get gifts every few little sisters you rescue, but the difference in raw adam is negligible and is arguably made up by the fact the gifts have unique gene tonics and plasmids, namely hypnotize big daddy
You lose out on like 20 Adam, which frankly makes 0 difference, and you get unique things in return as well. They basically incentive the good path while making you think they don't
I always hated how strong you feel in this game, it really makes me wish that resources were a lot more scarce, it would be a lot more satisfying to have the reward for saving little sisters be the outcome of my character, rather then the reward being just objectively way better then if you go the evil route the game trys to convince you is the easier route
There's something curious about Bioshock's story that I find very interesting: You play as a man who has nothing. No name, no family, no history, no home and basically no free will. And through the game you work for and against two men who have or have had everything. Ryan, who became rich out of luck and who built Rapture and was basically its God for a time, and Atlas/Fontaine, who came from nothing and built an empire. You're basically the pawn used by a King to usurp another. The one choice, the only true choice you have in the game (outside of the meta-choice of "not playing") is to show mercy to a small group of people who are as much pawns in a greater game as you are. And if you choose to show mercy, to spare their lives even though at first glance it would have been more advantageous for you to just kill them, if you choose not to abuse those at your mercy like the ones controlling you are, at the end of it all you're the one having everything. A god was killed, and king was brought low, and then there was you. A man who came from nothing and made his own history, who found a family for himself and at the end of his days died peacefully of old age, surrounded by loved ones. Three men started their stories with nothing. The first got lucky, found petrol in his backyard and went on to build and be King of a great city, but had to watch his city burn and died at the hands of a slave. The second man worked hard and built an empire of crime, and used a slave to kill the King and become King himself, and tried to become a God, but he was killed by slaves. And then there is you, whose only choice was to show mercy to children or not.
"When a parking ticket is "validated," it typically means the establishment a parking customer visited is paying for at least a portion of their customer's parking, up to 100% of the parking price. As a parker, getting your parking validated is a benefit of making a purchase at a business."
@@Her_Imperious_Condescensionit's not only American, believe it or not a building sized place to park cars is not free to build and maintain, so it makes sense that people that use it pay to keep it in order
Someone probably already mentioned it, but there is a nice use for that freeze blast in a run like this. You can zap electronics to stop them before you hack them. You can also freeze them instead. If you freeze them, than the security minigame will also be slower and thus easier to succeed
No , it won't. You're still 40 short every 3 sisters. 440 saving vs 480 harvesting. And if you use the extra little sisters glitch , there's no gift for the 24th sister. In both game harvesting gets more ADAM , saving gets you Plasmids and Tonics that are otherwise unavailable.
@@robertmurdock1848 Eh, the Plasmids and Tonics make up for the lost Adam, in my opinion. Besides, I’d rather our boy Jack get an actual family who loves him, then him unleashing Splicers upon the world.
@@decimation9780 Yeah , on Survivor or Hard difficulty , having Hypnotize Big Daddy is handy. But on my first successful Survivor run , I skipped the BD fights until I used the camera as much as possible and got the crossbow. Then I went back to engage the BDs , without using that plasmid in that run.
The fact that this gem is FREE really hits home how old I am. My dad bought it for me on Xbox after I begged him for it in grade school. I played the demo and instantly fell in love. I memorized the whole demo from the plane crash to entering the medical pavilion.
The Harvest/Rescue struggle speaks to me. Every now and again, I try to play a game as a "bad guy", be it renegade in Mass Effect or whatever... I usually make it about 30 minutes in at most before I have to start over, because I simply cannot bring myself to play like that.
The problem with bioshock 1 is that it is actually more beneficial in the long run to be the "good guy" which sort of defeats the point. But here we are.
@@Some_Really_Random_Dude. I didn't know that at the time. However, I tried the harvest side once, and only once. I had such a visceral reaction that I never did it again.
@@Some_Really_Random_Dude. i think choosing to rescue the little sisters should've "punished" the player by giving zero/ almost zero adam to really hammer in the struggle to survive in Rapture at that point in time
I used to play bioshock when i was a kid, it was the first game i ever picked out myself without my dads help. I have loved this series since then. I just wanted to thank you for reminding me of that, nice run!
@@greyperson6754 well that is ok then, I often played 15+ games b4 I was 15 but not really scary games because I had a bad experience with horror as a kid when I pinched mums Vhs video of Child's Play and it scared the shit out of me XD
@@FuryousD ooh yeah I feel that. I didnt steal a movie but despite my dads warnings when he left one time i played dead space 1. He told me many times that it was tooo scary but i didnt listen. Lets just say i learned not to play horror games without my dad that day lol, scared the hell outta me.
Can we take a moment to appreciate the fact that he got the good ending by saving all the little sisters in a plasmids only run despite harvesting them yielding more Adam? This man has skill and a good set of morals.
Saving them in the long run actually yields much more Adam, genes and tonics. The loss in immediate Adam is a measly difference of 20 so there’s really no reason to harvest them
@@BullFrogFace It doesn't yield more adam to the contrary you gain 280 adam less if you save them all but you get tonics and plasmid you can't have any other way, on top of ammo and ressources.
Hey, I did this challenge just on my own like 6 or 7 years ago. Other than the very first guy you have to kill with a wrench you can do the whole thing plasmids only! You can kill that second splicer in the water, you need to zap the water itself, not the splicer. Those little planters in the room with the elevators have water you can kill the splicers with electro bolt with too.
Are you talking about the original or the remaster? The very first splicer takes contact damage from the burning bench he pushed downstairs (it doesn't set him on fire though). The room with the one-two punch splicer has 3 puddles (1 near the window and 2 next to the airlock you just went through). Zapping the first one results in electric effects, but those don't stun or damage the splicer. The other 2 puddles aren't even considered water, so zapping them is the same as zapping the floor.
@@ViApp0 Original, never bothered with the remakes as they are unnecessary. You can lure all the splicers into the elevator room with planters full of water that can be electrocuted. There's no water in the game that produces the visual electric effect without damaging, but some of it is very small and finnicky. It is absolutely doable, maybe it got ruined in the remake but there's literally no reason to play it; the game's aren't old enough to warrant one and the "improvements" are hardly noticeable.
@@mightystu49 Yeah I get that the planters in the elevator room have water. But you can't take the "one-two punch" guy there because the door is locked if he's alive. So you're saying that the puddle near the window works? Guess you'd have to take a couple of hits to get him in the proper position.
@@mightystu49 I tested it again and zapping this puddle next to the window is different from zapping water in the planters or the Kashmir restaurant. A circle of electric sparks appears for a moment, but the water doesn't stay electrified, it's like a purely cosmetic effect. That's on 1.1 GOG version.
After seeing this, I will say that when you do the Wrench Only run, Bolt is totally allowed to give the extra damage on the stunned hit, since when not used on water, it does no damage. Plus, it'll help with more annoying versions of Splicers like Spiders. Plus, I like the thought of Lemon just 1-2-Punching everything in the game after hitting them with the equivalent of a static shock.
When I played through, I tend to go till I find natural camo, then play dungeon master. I will case the joint, set traps along patrol routes, and then follow up with explosives. I did try a melee build, just not too good at dodging hits for it to work.
Okay but this is so wonderfully timed. I just recently restarted the bioshock series as a fun nostalgia trip during streams and finished bioshock 1 last night. Glad to see this from an amazing content creator. Hats off to you, Lemon, for the wonderful timing.
@@pendarazaripoor4296 it actually can do the most damage in one hit of any weapon in the game with the right combination of gene tonics, camera research and electrobolt. I think wrench lurker increases the damage on unaware enemies by like 4x? And theres a mk2 version that stacks with it.
@@pendarazaripoor4296 At the hardest difficulty you can literally just beat big daddies to death with the freeze wrench and just swinging till they die. It's honestly kinda funny that the melee weapon in 1 and 2 were the best weapon
I love Bioshock, thank you for reminding me how good of a time it was and how much fun I had as a kid. Would love if you played some more of the games!!
The fact its 2022 and this game still looks so great that it would hold against many titles today shows how 2007 was different from the gaming. Hell the telekinesis and fire still looks amazing. Edit: For people saying "remaster" I didnt knew he had it, as I believed he is still playing original because of the way Jack hands look.
Honestly thank god you were so sweet to the little sisters, honestly no matter how evil i want to be, no matter what game, once i hit bioshock, i just cant bring it to hurt the little sisters, god bless you dog i know those little girls are equally as happy
You know I really wish I could re live this game for the first time all over again I absolutely fell in love with it. Sander Cohen was my favorite character for just how creepy he was and I loved finding the secret areas like his wild bunny recording. And then the whole Atlas/Fontaine reveal I remember that blew my teenage brain. Never could bring myself to harvest the little sisters tho I did once and felt so bad I restarted the entire level.
I definitely feel that. I could never harvest the little sisters. I did once on accident because I hit the reload button (same as harvest button) not thinking about it after just killing the BD. I had to restart the whole level because I just didn't want to do that.
I heard some really good opinions about this game, and even thought about playing it myself. Thanks to you, i'm not gonna. Don't get me wrong, i loved watching, and i don't mind spoilers, it's just that i can't stand playing something even remotely scary. Didn't realize it's like that beforehand. Sooo... thanks for letting me experience it
I used to be that way as well but I slowly eased my way into stuff and BioShock was one of those firsts, yes there's some creepy jump scary type parts but it's less scary and more creepy/unnerving 99% of the time, plus you have stuff like shotguns that blow enemies away in a hit or two.
14:40 Last time I played through Bioshock 1, I got stuck here for literally 30 minutes... I eventually noticed the elevator button like you, and I didn't look up the answer. (I had too much pride to look up the answer online, I've beaten the game probably around 6-8 times, so I forced myself suffer the elevator button.)
The bioshock ending while saving lil sisters is one of the most wholesome ending in games they all get married but still are there when jack is on death bed because their lives was essentially gave back to them by him so they love and care for him until the end ... perfect daughters big dadies are proud girls !
Bruh, I love your commentary. "Oh wait, my mistake. They had screaming memories of my family inside. I didn't know they still sold those..." Fucking. Dead. 😅😅😅
I don’t know why this episode landed so hard. Not sure if it was bioshock or if your comedy was just on point but this episode was just amazing dude. I’d love to see more bioshock ok though!
Ahh good old bioshock... Time to dump a chunck of time into my childhood and become a walking candle that burns everything by accident. Great vid Lemon
"And after having a waking Nightmare about the current state off the housing market.".... that one floored me. Wonderfull. :D Also it should be obvious.... but saving the sisters should be a rule for any Bioshock run.
2:42 you CAN but its like ten times less efficient than intravenous injection, and given how limited ADAM is as a resource, it's much more cost efficient this way. (see Vigors vs. Plasmid debate)
Almost first! Man I just started watching your DS challenge runs, you are so funny, literally the same type of humour I've been looking for. Can't wait for this 💪🏻💪🏻🇮🇪
Let me start by saying it's past my bed time and I'm tired. Instead of Dark Souls my brain read Nintendo, and I furiously started clicking to Lemon's page to look for the DS runs I had missed.
Validated parking is when you park in a paid parking garage or something. You then go into a store and do your shopping or get your massage or whatever, and they either refund you your parking fee or give you a coupon to get out of the parking garage, that kind of thing.
Might seem like a strange compliment, but I absolutely *love* the way you start the video "Heeey it's Lemon...." As if you're like "Yeah, *that* guy again" haha. I love your voice dude, it's like....cute? Endearing? But in a bro way? Idk how to explain it. Anyway, love your content man
I imagine that this was actually a build that they had in mind when designing the game, at least vaguely. You can think of the game as having three "classes" in the form of Guns, Hacking, and Plasmids. While it's unusual to use one over the others exclusively, most problems are designed to be solvable with just one of the three. What also helps is that Bioshock heavily values "player-made solutions". Problems often aren't designed with just one solution in mind, the player is allowed to make up their own solutions to problems.
I see a new video of yours, and it looks interesting, so I watch it, and am always surprised by how much I enjoy it. I don’t know why I’m surprised, because every single video is one I enjoy, as they are all quality videos! Besides that, I love Bioshock, and this has made me want to start a new playthrough, so thanks!
I love this game so much and I love how people are still playing this and still making videos about this even though I know it’s gonna happen but I still love this game it’s so good
If you do a plasmid only run for BioShock 2, as a heads up, Telekinesis 3 is hilariously broken. Everything smaller than a Big Daddy becomes an instant rag doll.
Sadly i think you can only use telekinesis 3 in the final area, meaning it isn’t TOO broken all things considered. Still fun when you get it though!

From super wholesome to Ultra Wholesome TM.
Whiskers! No, control your bloodlust!
The duality of man?
“Incinerate is good as long as there is no water nearby.”
You are in _Rapture_ . Where could you _possibly_ go where there wouldn’t be water nearby?!

Okay but this is so wonderfully timed. I just recently restarted the bioshock series as a fun nostalgia trip during streams and finished bioshock 1 last night. Glad to see this from an amazing content creator. Hats off to you, Lemon, for the wonderful timing.
God i just got done doing a wrench only playthrough. Easier then i thought it would be
Yeah, turns out it’s the best weapon in the game
With some perks, it's probably one of the greatest weapons in the game
@@pendarazaripoor4296 it actually can do the most damage in one hit of any weapon in the game with the right combination of gene tonics, camera research and electrobolt. I think wrench lurker increases the damage on unaware enemies by like 4x? And theres a mk2 version that stacks with it.
@@everythingsalright1121 yeah that's what I was getting at. I did a wrench only run years ago and my setup was basically the same thing as you said
@@pendarazaripoor4296 At the hardest difficulty you can literally just beat big daddies to death with the freeze wrench and just swinging till they die. It's honestly kinda funny that the melee weapon in 1 and 2 were the best weapon
This is an excellent way to begin the weekend, really like your videos man 😁
Dude, I only JUST reinstalled the Bioshock Collection. How did you know I was gonna do that? What? How?
Yo same! I’m near the end of the first. It aged so well honestly
I have Bioshock 1 installed, the original. With EAX. And a CRT monitor at 1440x1080@80. =P
@@zors5188 No no no, I mean 'just' as in seventeen minutes ago. Spooky levels of recent
@@senseweaver01 oh snap haha
@@zors5188 Yeah! I'm feeling nervous and concerned and... a bit hungry actually
I remember how much I loved BioShock when it first came out. Maybe it's time to replay them again
Oh nice! I feel like the Bioshock games are a relatively untapped market for challenge runs
Check out some speedruns for the game, those are insane
"Oh, there you are", someone tell me why it gets a chuckle out of me everytime he says it.
Great video man! I remember beating the game at the time with a wrench only (and plasmids..)
One of my all time favourites
Keep up the good work!
12:58 "I can't ham it up that hard" Nicholas Cage' own brand of fine ham is difficult to emulate
I love Bioshock, thank you for reminding me how good of a time it was and how much fun I had as a kid. Would love if you played some more of the games!!
I love how he didn't even make it past the tutorial level before he answered the question posed by the title with a resounding "no".
He has to use plasmids to cause damage, but if he has to use weapons to further the story then he will; He says that in the video.
"As long as you're observant"
*walks over a corpse on fire and takes damage*
5:55
“So long as you’re observant…”
He says as he walks over a burning corpse twice, taking damage.
The fact its 2022 and this game still looks so great that it would hold against many titles today shows how 2007 was different from the gaming. Hell the telekinesis and fire still looks amazing.
Edit: For people saying "remaster" I didnt knew he had it, as I believed he is still playing original because of the way Jack hands look.
Well to be fair, this seems to be the remastered version from 2016. Still, a game with strong style and presentation for sure.
Somehow, it’s dated presentation gives it a unique look
Something I heard once was that graphics age but style doesn't
@@Blandy8521 that's a good line dude
@@fib900 sort of ads to the vintage style
Honestly thank god you were so sweet to the little sisters, honestly no matter how evil i want to be, no matter what game, once i hit bioshock, i just cant bring it to hurt the little sisters, god bless you dog i know those little girls are equally as happy
You know I really wish I could re live this game for the first time all over again I absolutely fell in love with it. Sander Cohen was my favorite character for just how creepy he was and I loved finding the secret areas like his wild bunny recording. And then the whole Atlas/Fontaine reveal I remember that blew my teenage brain. Never could bring myself to harvest the little sisters tho I did once and felt so bad I restarted the entire level.
I definitely feel that. I could never harvest the little sisters. I did once on accident because I hit the reload button (same as harvest button) not thinking about it after just killing the BD. I had to restart the whole level because I just didn't want to do that.
this is my favorite game of all time, im so glad people still play it
this was a great video! I'm enjoying the branching out content wise. keep up the good work:3
I heard some really good opinions about this game, and even thought about playing it myself. Thanks to you, i'm not gonna. Don't get me wrong, i loved watching, and i don't mind spoilers, it's just that i can't stand playing something even remotely scary. Didn't realize it's like that beforehand. Sooo... thanks for letting me experience it
It's scary until you realize you can blow every enemy away!
I used to be that way as well but I slowly eased my way into stuff and BioShock was one of those firsts, yes there's some creepy jump scary type parts but it's less scary and more creepy/unnerving 99% of the time, plus you have stuff like shotguns that blow enemies away in a hit or two.
14:40 Last time I played through Bioshock 1, I got stuck here for literally 30 minutes... I eventually noticed the elevator button like you, and I didn't look up the answer. (I had too much pride to look up the answer online, I've beaten the game probably around 6-8 times, so I forced myself suffer the elevator button.)
I’ve got to say I love your intro. “Hey it’s Lemon” Idk your tone and the simplicity just makes me smile
A challenge run UA-camr that actually has human feelings? Never thought I'd live to see such a creature,Ya earned a sub my friend
The Torvus bog subterranean theme is my absolute favorite, I’m so happy that you include such lovely songs in your videos
I love Bioshock sooo much. Almost as much as I love interacting with videos so the algorithm gives em some love
6:22 i dare you, I DARE YOU, ah thank god...
I'm rewatching this video after a while, and it is pure gold. Every joke lands perfectly! great work. :3
the girl from ipanema is my favorite underwater elevator muzak
youll get a funeral, if you dont wise up and call me 6:52
The bioshock ending while saving lil sisters is one of the most wholesome ending in games they all get married but still are there when jack is on death bed because their lives was essentially gave back to them by him so they love and care for him until the end ... perfect daughters big dadies are proud girls !
My name's Andrew and him saying hi Andrew early in the video while I was trying to sleep scared the shit outta me
That comedic abridged first person narration through the intro alone got me to sub
Certainly one of the best videos I have seen lately, thanks for the laffs man, also really well put strategy.
17:13 gave me chills because that's my name and you said it so naturally
With the addition of incinerate, lemons has become INCENDIARY LEMONS
the timing for this video is amazing. i just finished bioshock 1! i loved lookin for tapes to learn more about rapture and its past
Bruh, I love your commentary.
"Oh wait, my mistake. They had screaming memories of my family inside. I didn't know they still sold those..."
Fucking. Dead. 😅😅😅
Another excellent video - and blew my mind using Wario Land 2 water level music near the start! Thought I recognised it, oh the nostalgia...
I literally just beat the entire series and have been watching videos relating to it. impeccable timing
Stumbled upon your channel by chance, as I love challenge videos.
Instantly subscribed, really love your delivery and humour.
You used the wrench to knock on Peach’s door. Invalid run! Thanks for the video, love your content.
I don’t know why this episode landed so hard. Not sure if it was bioshock or if your comedy was just on point but this episode was just amazing dude. I’d love to see more bioshock ok though!
Lemon , your jokes are just too hilarious ,”hey that man is on fire” i don’t wanna ser every game you try , but wanna see every video you upload
I like the background music. Spelunky was a good game as well as bioshock
Lemon is so good in his narrative and spinning little stories inside the stories. his channel has become addictive for that sole fact alone.
Ahh good old bioshock... Time to dump a chunck of time into my childhood and become a walking candle that burns everything by accident. Great vid Lemon
"And after having a waking Nightmare about the current state off the housing market.".... that one floored me. Wonderfull. :D
Also it should be obvious.... but saving the sisters should be a rule for any Bioshock run.
I love the Bioshock series, especially 2. I’d love to see more. Maybe a drill only run for 2?
Bro I literally finished bioshock 1 yesterday and started bioshock 2 today, wat a wizard
holy shit me too but i did it 2 days ago after having it in my steam lib for years xd
@@StarkiiL I guess everyone just had the urge to play BioShock right now
Luposlipaphobia is the fear of being pursued by timber wolves around a kitchen table while wearing socks on a newly waxed floor.
I was never more proud of a stranger than when you picked save little sisters even though it made it harder to play 😂
Lmao I had the same issue with the elevator call button in Sander's area. You're not alone my guy, I spent half an hour wandering around.
Humorous commentary in a challenge video. Now I remember why I liked your videos.
Man I love this game. Bioshock was my first game during the Wii/360/PS3 generation and it still holds up. A true masterpiece.
The "Press Start To Laugh" similarities are all over the place, and I'm here for it.
Good luck with a Bioshock 2 run. Bioshock Infinite “plasmids” only might be too much to ask you to put yourself through.
I concur with your conclusion, I really didn't mess with plasmids in any of the games and thinking about it I'm not even sure why that is.
Well, your commentary style is immensely charming. Take my sub.
2:42 you CAN but its like ten times less efficient than intravenous injection, and given how limited ADAM is as a resource, it's much more cost efficient this way. (see Vigors vs. Plasmid debate)
yep that's how drugs work here too brother
The backlogs + Bioshock is the surprise I needed
Almost first! Man I just started watching your DS challenge runs, you are so funny, literally the same type of humour I've been looking for. Can't wait for this 💪🏻💪🏻🇮🇪
Let me start by saying it's past my bed time and I'm tired. Instead of Dark Souls my brain read Nintendo, and I furiously started clicking to Lemon's page to look for the DS runs I had missed.
Validated parking is when you park in a paid parking garage or something. You then go into a store and do your shopping or get your massage or whatever, and they either refund you your parking fee or give you a coupon to get out of the parking garage, that kind of thing.
Thank you so much for playing this game!! This is one of my favorite games ever.
Might seem like a strange compliment, but I absolutely *love* the way you start the video "Heeey it's Lemon...." As if you're like "Yeah, *that* guy again" haha. I love your voice dude, it's like....cute? Endearing? But in a bro way? Idk how to explain it. Anyway, love your content man
luboslipaphobia: the fear of being chased by wolves around a kitchen table while wearing socks on a newly waxed floor
"fear of being chased around their dinner table by wolves" lmfao sounds like a gary larson reference
I imagine that this was actually a build that they had in mind when designing the game, at least vaguely. You can think of the game as having three "classes" in the form of Guns, Hacking, and Plasmids. While it's unusual to use one over the others exclusively, most problems are designed to be solvable with just one of the three.
What also helps is that Bioshock heavily values "player-made solutions". Problems often aren't designed with just one solution in mind, the player is allowed to make up their own solutions to problems.
Well, you missed the optional Cohen room area, and the chance to watch two splicers waltz.
Bioshock!? One of my favourite series ever. Loved it and hope you do Bioshock 2 later down the road
I could listend to this man making videos all day they are so good! Big love man
I see a new video of yours, and it looks interesting, so I watch it, and am always surprised by how much I enjoy it. I don’t know why I’m surprised, because every single video is one I enjoy, as they are all quality videos! Besides that, I love Bioshock, and this has made me want to start a new playthrough, so thanks!
I love this game so much and I love how people are still playing this and still making videos about this even though I know it’s gonna happen but I still love this game it’s so good
14:50 i didnt see the button ether it was so relatable
The Hotline Miami music is the icing on the cake. Now I want to replay Bioshock AND Hotline Miami.
I've heard a lot of "Not the Bees!" impressions but that was honestly pretty good. The scream was very similar
This video was great! So glad to see a favorite game get this love.

I can't wait for the murder trial where the accused party uses "come on, I only killed like 4 people, 5 tops." As a defense.
