Its time for more WACKY brain adventures! Vixen: / vixen_vtuber Gianni: / getgianni If you wanna watch Jello play the first game here is the playlist!: • Jello Plays Psychonaut...
Gianni saying anybody whos Fkd has fkd germs and Jello just-..sighing...KILLED me. Actually EVERYTIME he makes Jello pause in the psychedelic levels I also have to take a moment to pause and laugh for awhile.
I feel like psychonauts 2 has the aura of the innocence of doing gross out humor from the perspective of pre widespread knowledge of the evils, like its doing late 90's and early 2000's gross your sister out cartoon energy, before the internet sleeper agents got in there in real force. I never got those fetish particles from psychonauts 2, but i can see how you'd find that now like I had the veil ripped from me
Very much this if you go at with a modern internet ruined mentality a don't take in as an a newly found relic that they polished fresh it just comes off fucking so weirdly I love this game so deeply but I do understand where there issues are coming drom
I think the same about how everyone threats Raz, it's was kind of a common trope in the 90's that at the start of the movie everyone hated the protagonist, Home Alone is probably the best example of that trope
I really like this game. It definitely gets a bit too chatty at times with the "Hey, do the thing now!" Reminders, but the general feel and look is so cool. I also find the weird curse that Raz is under that makes everyone instantly loathe him upon meeting *hilarious.* 🤣
I know it's largely a bit, but I feel like the line between making jokes and being genuinely uncomfortable blurs the longer you walk it, which is why there are so many people either apologizing for it, saying it's not as bad as you say it is, or saying that watching you talk about it fundamentally changed how they saw it. I feel like most people either just went "ewwwww, that's gross" or just didn't think about it, so now that they're seeing something that's not that they start going, "Oh god I need to think about how terrible this game is" and it just sorta spiraled from there. Luckily I found the ability to not have my opinions heavily swayed by people streaming on the internet by watching Joseph Anderson streams
Thank you. I needed to read this. I was genuinely getting upset hearing them make fun of this game almost constantly. I loved this game in basically it's entirety. Hearing one of my favorite streamers shit on it made me feel more uncomfortable than anything. Idk, tbh I'm thinking about just not watching anymore of these if this is how it's going to be.
@@decoolfool4166tbf alot of things are can just come down from personaly perspective as I've watched them play other games I've found they see things in a little more of extremes
I didnt know my mentioning of the easter egg would do all this unintentional psychological damage. I am sorry for ruining the stream right before it started. Please don’t ban me forever and remember to take breaks. I have sinned horribly by mentally scarring Vixen and feel unimaginable guilt. It was not my intent to cause any no no vibes of any kind. Im sorry. Edit: I’ve calmed down now and I understand it wasn’t my fault. Thanks for clearing it up guys. I tend to get a little… overly nervous if I think i’ve done something wrong.
29:58 I got curious and looked this up. Apparently there is quite a lot of pectin in onion, which I never would have guessed! Found quite a lot of recipes for onion jam, which is a taste sensation I'm comfortable giving a miss
God I LOVE the psychedelic mind levels! The music stuff and the total vibe of it is so greeeat! Auuuugh it was my favorite part of the gaaame! Also love Jack Blacks performance here (I ge tVixens stance of course). The reads are very good. The character was so fun to hear in the levels
One of the things I generally like about your streams is that you guys tend to articulate your points well when it comes to what you do or don’t like, which makes me reflect on my own opinions and why things work for me. Like the meanness of the dialogue becoming more apparent as the game softens its edges more in other areas, and while you and others think it’s a bit much, I see it as the device that defines an otherness status for Raz. Maybe it’s an awfully blunt way to go about the topic, but Raz having few people to turn to in this prestigious world of psychic society makes it sweeter when he relates more to the Psychic Six, who are almost all outcasts in their own right and have deep seeded issues that Raz needs to walk them through to prove they’re not alone. The game’s definitely not subtle in the allegories there, especially with that conversation between Raz and his sister, and it’s a piece of why I’m really drawn to the narrative of this game. The first game definitely feels funnier, but the plot and characters of this game really captivate me. My favorite parts have yet to come, even though everyone goes crazy for the Helmut level. I’ve been thinking about Psychonauts 2 ever since this stream ended, and god I wish I could rant about all the thoughts that’ve plagued me since then (I’m only writing this comment so maybe I could tuck it away a bit). That said, I know “Jello’s Funtime Fetish Hour” is sort of a reoccurring thing on these streams, but the Psitorium section was definitely over-exaggerated. Comedy, critique, observation, what have you, it’s an under-stimulated brain experiencing the turbulent joys and anxieties of sensation. You go into the eye at the start, you’re probably going in the mouth. Only sights and audio can be directly translated to a video game format (maybe touch with controller vibration or haptic feedback), so it’s going to rely more heavily on the iconography associated with each body part. It could be more abstract representations, but I do like the more iconography-based design from a band mascot perspective. Idk, I think this game’s got a lot more to offer, and I hope you’re willing to give it the time of day when it’s not playing 20 voice lines at once on top of you guys providing commentary.
They sounded genuinely broken and it seemed really unsettling. I enjoyed the whole hippe drug trip psychedelic overload vibe of the level and it being about sensory stimulation, but hearing them just keep fixating on it being weird while i was feeling unreasonably responsible for that was… it was really just not a good time and not at all the vibes that the gang typically has during streams.
Listening to y’all identify everything as a fetish is genuinely making me question if I’m Ace. This, and the Contrapoints video that makes the concept of being in a love sound exhausting
I am aro/ace, and was thinking the exact same thing. Played the game multiple times, and at most went "Ew." To tongues and vomit, I didn't think "Oh, licky licky my armpity!" It's weird, and once the ball got rolling for them, it was just nonstop.
Yeah no as a demi ace at most towards the ace spectrum (so I'm at least aware but not so ruined I wouldn't just ignore it) it's not all thinly veiled fetishist this group latches on to certain things and does tend to blow things up bigger then they are granted the inflating puppet thing may have been something weird
The only reason I am peeved at Jello skipping the children cutscenes is because they might miss Raz kicking their shit in if it happens. Apart from that glad they went nuts this is way funnier.
you could always buy psi cores in the first game, the combining aspect was maybe a bit more interactive? you'd connect to a machine to make markers from the cores and the cards you'd find. there was also the mental cobweb duster, which you use with the loom in crullers Base to make more psi cards
I love how literally no one in the existence of time has mentioned that in the drowned egg dish in Compton’s cookoff you can see a silhouette of helmet in the gelatin That is sad and hilarious at the same time
When I played (and 100%’d) Psychonauts 2 on release, I enjoyed my time with the game. I was definitely nonplussed by Compton’s level, but I didn’t think about the, uh, implications that were pointed out during the stream. I can’t defend the choices in Compton’s level made by the dev team, vomit is just gross, and I don’t think that the level did a great job at conveying social anxiety. As for the Sensorium, I enjoyed it on my first play through and didn’t notice until now how truly strange and uncomfy things are on closer inspection. At least the rest of the game gets weirder in a different, not fetishized way, if memory serves.
I heard the vomit thing was bc people with social anxiety get sick from it, but I don't know anyone with this illness, so no idea if they are pissed bc of this level. But I actually really love this level.
3:10:35 yes, you are. I’ve played it, I have friends who’ve played it, I’ve seen other playthroughs of it, and you’re the first people who seem to genuinely think this is, like, fetish bait? I’ve seen people complain it’s too reliant on gross out humor, or that it’s just generally kinda gross, but psychonauts 1 is also like that in a different way. It’s fine
I don't think the sensorium level is as bad as they're making it. How else would you do a level about reconnecting the senses to a starved brain, aesthetically designed after psychedelic graphics and music. Unfortunately strike city and the easter egg colored the stream before it started
They had mentioned the easter egg the previous stream, and i had watched and thought of it as basically “ok, its just weird random sh!t for the lols and slight edginess”, not in the “raz is a 10 year old why is he pregnant” way. I dont exactly have the best sense of understanding of things in certain contexts until someone says it out loud.
I think we're officially out of the "gross out humor" territory. Tbh, I didn't realize that it was both Compton's Cookoff and Psi King's sensorium that did that and not just the cookoff. I personally do like the types of levels given since it continues the trend of the weird unique headspaces. Compton's Cookoff would be a great concept but in a game that's not going for direct humor like the last one (bc... the valve writer is with Valve) and more heart, it's probably my least favorite level in this game. Meanwhile the Sensorium gets a pass from the gross out traits simply due to it being based off the senses. Taste and smell are going to be weird and offputting because tongues and noses are offputting but it's an inevitability when using the 5 senses. And we're getting to the better of Ford's mind soon. The mail room level is such a cool concept.
@Signedcentaur I don't think we're out of gross out humor just yet, what I'm worried about is Ford's Follicles being misconstrued as another fetish. Plus with all of this going on, I don't think the twist after the Tomb of the Sarcophagus is gonna hit as well. With the whole mechanic with Bob's Bottles, I think the rest of this game is gonna though of as a werid fetish part Thank whichever person that Cassie's Collection and the mailroom level can't really be turned into anything
@OtterAle-TheOtterestOfAles I'm prepared for them to straight up hate this game. I'm really don't understand where Jello is coming with alot of his critiques. Maybe it really is just a matter of taste...its odd
@@quaglegagle674agreed only the raz always sad makes sense. The Pauses and no music in the background really make it feel a bit too sad. But the family thing makes sense, raz ran away for a reason. Yet i liked almost all the characters actually.
I love Psychonauts 2 and consider it at least on par with the first game. Watching Jello play the first game, I understood that he enjoyed it besides the outdated controls and a few other things. I was thoroughly fascinated watching through these, to know that he pretty much doesn't like it. Frankly, I've heard so much talk about how good this game is that hearing Jello's scathing critique is refreshing in a way, but there are of course things I disagree with him about. I already knew that Jello is a massive misanthropist/narcissist (at least, he seems to be), so certain things about his critique I knew wouldn't agree with me. Opinions are opinions, and it's a shame that certain things about this game rub Jello and Vixen the wrong way.
I understand jello not being invested in the interns. Sucks that he missed out on Sam's traumatic pancake dialogue. though other than that the only thing of mention is the minor quest from gizu
He's just not giving it a chance. He already has it in his mind he hates them so that's unfortunately that. I do wish there was more of the other interns too but they weren't THAT bad.
@@decoolfool4166 I have this theory that there were side quests that were never implemented for reasons( budget, time, etc). My only proof is Morris (the kid in the levitating lawn chair) needs records for his KLOB station and there are jukeboxes around the maps ,each playing one song
@decoolfool4166 Jello can be frustrating to watch sometimes. He loves to skip dialogue, and when he can't he'll complain. He'll decide whether he likes or dislikes something moments of when he sees it. He can be incredibly insightful when it comes to his critiques but by god he can be obnoxious about it Edit: In fairness to Jello I do agree the dialogue isn't as snappy as Psychonauts 1...but I'm not sure where he's getting all these fetish things from.
@michaelwalsh9616 Considering how long Psychonauts 2 as an idea has been kicking around in Tim Schafer's head I'd imagine there's alot of different things that were on and off the table at some point. I'd recommend checking out PsychOsyssey which is a full documentary series covering the game's development and all the trials that happened inside of Double Fine during the production
I remember this section of the game but I somehow turned off my brain and didn’t think about it too much into it. I guess hating on hypocrisy of people was a coping mechanism to maintain sanity.
@@quaglegagle674 I’m on board with its vibes, the tongues were… a choice but I didn’t have as visceral a reaction as Jello and Vixen nor was I excited like Gianni, I have actually thought about buying Psychonauts 2 and playing along and maybe ahead of the Jello streams, looks fun and interesting.
Ok, TO BE FAIR TO THE MOUTH VORE SECTION, it's a logical progression based on the theme of the level. Like you went into Vision's eye, you're gonna go down Taste's mouth. It's not one I'm happy about. But it's reasonable. Which is more than I can say about the Goat Vomit level. Also Psychonauts is no stranger to levels where the theme is kinda gross-ish, like Meat Circus was the literal final level. Psychonauts 2 just... fixates on it a bit too much. Like I think all the levels so far involve entering some biological part of the body which is weird. Also the hazards in that level have no excuse.
Maaaaaaaaan, I could just sit and listen to Darin DePaul Read a phone book for hours cause I know he would make it sound like a bedtime Story ^////////^
man, this game is wild, we went through: first level is teeth our boss is a gambling addict everybody hates Raz for being ga... i mean Psychic food fetish feet stinky fetish sexual assault level nose job LSD Im starting to think that psychonauts 1 was being held back for a reason and the worst thing I don't think I can tell people about this and they won't believe me
Regarding the Mario movie, I like Jack black, but I think he and Kevin Michael Richardson should have switched roles as Kamek and Bowser. Richardsons previous roles show he has a closer register to bowser.
I’m a little puzzled about Lenti disliking how Jack Black is casted because of star-power then turns around to have grievances with Pixar for recasting two non-VAs, like I dislike star-power castings and I hate unnecessary recastings, but I am interested if there’s a difference here that I’m missing
Got further into the video, understand her opinions more and pretty much agree on everything even though I think Jack Black is charming. Awkafina is really annoying, I agree. She was awful in the renfield movie
They are just there for sidequests and don't contribute anything to the main plot beyond slowly growing to like Raz (well Adam and Sam already like Raz by now in game but Jello isn't gonna bother interacting with them anymore) and being less of a jerk if you spend time with them. Norma is the only one that kinda matters plot wise without spoiling anything.
Not really, the only time they're even tolerable is at the end boss. Otherwise you can pretty safely ignore them imo. Adam is kinda cool post-lucktopus but all his dialogues are optional and pretty unimportant. Source: played through this game three times to 100%. Also, getting 100% is probably not worth it unless you actually enjoy playing the game. Even less important to get the scavenger hunt items, which just give you the ability to change your outfit, but you can really only get it after you've gotten all the powers, so by the time you go look for everything you've almost definitely already completed the game, and there's NO new game +, so the extra costumes are absolutely worthless. I do NOT understand this choice. (I love this game. But I truly don't understand this decision.)
While I don't hate jack black I totally understand why anyone would like he's not a voice actor he doesn't do voices he just plays himself in everything, he's just one of those actors where it has "*STARRING JACK BLACK*" in bold on the poster like it just becomes "The Jack Black Movie" as soon as he's included, same for any videogames he's in and that can be fun but like in the mario movie he's not bowser he's just badguy jack black, its like donkey kong being included as seth rogen he immediately stops being donkey kong he's just seth rogen as an animated ape... Please give actual voice actors jobs instead of casting celebrity personalities k thanks

I already knew that Jello is a massive misanthropist/narcissist (at least, he seems to be), so certain things about his critique I knew wouldn't agree with me. Opinions are opinions, and it's a shame that certain things about this game rub Jello and Vixen the wrong way.
I understand jello not being invested in the interns. Sucks that he missed out on Sam's traumatic pancake dialogue. though other than that the only thing of mention is the minor quest from gizu
At this point I get the feeling he would've hated the joke since they would've seen it as sexual.
He's just not giving it a chance. He already has it in his mind he hates them so that's unfortunately that. I do wish there was more of the other interns too but they weren't THAT bad.
@@decoolfool4166 I have this theory that there were side quests that were never implemented for reasons( budget, time, etc). My only proof is Morris (the kid in the levitating lawn chair) needs records for his KLOB station and there are jukeboxes around the maps ,each playing one song
@decoolfool4166 Jello can be frustrating to watch sometimes. He loves to skip dialogue, and when he can't he'll complain. He'll decide whether he likes or dislikes something moments of when he sees it. He can be incredibly insightful when it comes to his critiques but by god he can be obnoxious about it
Edit: In fairness to Jello I do agree the dialogue isn't as snappy as Psychonauts 1...but I'm not sure where he's getting all these fetish things from.
@michaelwalsh9616 Considering how long Psychonauts 2 as an idea has been kicking around in Tim Schafer's head I'd imagine there's alot of different things that were on and off the table at some point. I'd recommend checking out PsychOsyssey which is a full documentary series covering the game's development and all the trials that happened inside of Double Fine during the production
get it, cause the Psi king is the 6th sense!
We're going to hell for this one aren't we...
No. Just me.
I remember this section of the game but I somehow turned off my brain and didn’t think about it too much into it. I guess hating on hypocrisy of people was a coping mechanism to maintain sanity.
I wonder if they’ll be able to psychologically handle a third episode
I'm curious to see how they'll handle the twist. Knowing them they might turn the game off right there
@@quaglegagle674 I wonder how I’ll be able to handle the twist then
@@quinnwigle4393 I mean it depends whether or not your onboard with the game's vibes. I'm being very careful since I don't want to say too much
@@quaglegagle674 I’m on board with its vibes, the tongues were… a choice but I didn’t have as visceral a reaction as Jello and Vixen nor was I excited like Gianni, I have actually thought about buying Psychonauts 2 and playing along and maybe ahead of the Jello streams, looks fun and interesting.
@@quinnwigle4393 All I'll say is its character related. You might be able to figure it out since hints have been made
okay, so I just started watching the VODs and the comment section makes me a bit concerned. EDIT: hmmmmmm... neutral frowney face
Ok, TO BE FAIR TO THE MOUTH VORE SECTION, it's a logical progression based on the theme of the level. Like you went into Vision's eye, you're gonna go down Taste's mouth. It's not one I'm happy about. But it's reasonable. Which is more than I can say about the Goat Vomit level.
Also Psychonauts is no stranger to levels where the theme is kinda gross-ish, like Meat Circus was the literal final level. Psychonauts 2 just... fixates on it a bit too much. Like I think all the levels so far involve entering some biological part of the body which is weird. Also the hazards in that level have no excuse.
Maaaaaaaaan, I could just sit and listen to Darin DePaul Read a phone book for hours cause I know he would make it sound like a bedtime Story ^////////^
Also just wanna say 2:07:07 had me CACKLING like i could FEEL Jello's Exasperation XD
Really wasn't expecting this stream to be the fetish/extra mean to Raz one.
man, this game is wild, we went through:
first level is teeth
our boss is a gambling addict
everybody hates Raz for being ga... i mean Psychic
food fetish
feet stinky fetish
sexual assault level
nose job
LSD
Im starting to think that psychonauts 1 was being held back for a reason
and the worst thing I don't think I can tell people about this and they won't believe me
I mean, we MADE our boss a gambling addict
BESTIEBALL MENTION LETS GO
Regarding the Mario movie, I like Jack black, but I think he and Kevin Michael Richardson should have switched roles as Kamek and Bowser. Richardsons previous roles show he has a closer register to bowser.
2:59:20
Its even funnier the 5TH time!
2:59:20 Hell starts here
I’m a little puzzled about Lenti disliking how Jack Black is casted because of star-power then turns around to have grievances with Pixar for recasting two non-VAs, like I dislike star-power castings and I hate unnecessary recastings, but I am interested if there’s a difference here that I’m missing
Got further into the video, understand her opinions more and pretty much agree on everything even though I think Jack Black is charming. Awkafina is really annoying, I agree. She was awful in the renfield movie
Wanted to catch up on the vod now that im sick. Horrid idea. Puke should not be a fundamental enemy attacks
2:59:18 worth the wait
Anyone who played the games
Are we missing anything important with the dumb evil kids?
They are just there for sidequests and don't contribute anything to the main plot beyond slowly growing to like Raz (well Adam and Sam already like Raz by now in game but Jello isn't gonna bother interacting with them anymore) and being less of a jerk if you spend time with them. Norma is the only one that kinda matters plot wise without spoiling anything.
Not really, the only time they're even tolerable is at the end boss. Otherwise you can pretty safely ignore them imo. Adam is kinda cool post-lucktopus but all his dialogues are optional and pretty unimportant. Source: played through this game three times to 100%.
Also, getting 100% is probably not worth it unless you actually enjoy playing the game. Even less important to get the scavenger hunt items, which just give you the ability to change your outfit, but you can really only get it after you've gotten all the powers, so by the time you go look for everything you've almost definitely already completed the game, and there's NO new game +, so the extra costumes are absolutely worthless. I do NOT understand this choice. (I love this game. But I truly don't understand this decision.)
While I don't hate jack black I totally understand why anyone would like he's not a voice actor he doesn't do voices he just plays himself in everything, he's just one of those actors where it has "*STARRING JACK BLACK*" in bold on the poster like it just becomes "The Jack Black Movie" as soon as he's included, same for any videogames he's in and that can be fun but like in the mario movie he's not bowser he's just badguy jack black, its like donkey kong being included as seth rogen he immediately stops being donkey kong he's just seth rogen as an animated ape...
Please give actual voice actors jobs instead of casting celebrity personalities k thanks
Jack Black vehemently supports Autism Speaks so even like outside of the VA/popular actor argument he still sucks unfortunately
DAMMIT JACK BLACK YOU HAD ONE JOB
GOD DAMN IT.
Nose vore 💀
God psychonauts 2 I can’t defend you anymore 😭😭
I… uh… so… uh…
Psycho whatever 2 is a good game except for… everything in it. Except Raz.
