Welcome to the What's Your Order Club how What's Your Order are ya?
7 mins ago and no replys😮? Let me fix that.
Day 630 of asking Manly to play A Cold Love Story through UA-cam comments.

🍺🍻🥂🍷🥃🍸🍹🧉🍾
haha so true
i get the feeling tho lmao
yeah i was like Lisa pulling out my hair lmao
He does that multiple times with multiple drinks and I'm like, "DUDE!" lmao
The regulars were becoming the embodiments of their own problems:
-Henry was angry.
-Lisa was stressed.
-Marcus was depressed.
I don't understand the correlation between depression and your eyeballs falling out
@@Anreii Maybe he cried his eyes out? :)
@@Vilmiaz I like your thinking
@@Anreii Marcus was outgoing and kind but never talked about himself or his problems unlike the other two, keeping all the pressure inside him. He "bursted", which is what happens when you keep too much stuff in a closed container. By always trying to look happy and never "venting", the pressure built up inside him...and he "popped".
@@Jorge-np3tq yeah that makes a lot more sense to me than simply depression
Im one of the game devs for this game, thanks so much for playing it! And for everyone in the comments wondering why the mixed drinks are shaken: I actually considered having a stirring option as well, but due to limited time, I decided to just stick with shaking 😅 We definitely didnt expect the game to blow up like this, so thanks for all the reviews and comments!
It's ok it's a game. You can be as fictional or technical as you want. 😊
hey!! olivia mccabe, who did the art for this game, is one of my best friends!! and i love manlybadasshero, it’s so exciting to see her art on his channel. congrats on a great game y’all, you did some really awesome work :)) best of luck with your game dev stuff in the future!
@@fluffyhamster7 thanks! And yeah, olivia did AMAZING on the characters! I was very excited watching her come up with the creepy designs…especially the jumpscares 😳
Omg I'm a game developer as well but I'm still struggling with chronic alcoholism after 2 years. I've never seen it represented like this, the melting faces are actually close to withdrawal hallucinations. I'd love to do anything to help add to the vision you guys are doing here
Are you guys gonna pursue this anymore? I see a lot of potential in a 'coffee talk' -esque horror game.
The most unsettling thing about this game is after you give Lisa her 1st mojito whether it was right or wrong, her name changes to Mojito Lady for the rest of that interaction. Before going back to being Lisa for the rest of the game. This was likely an oversight oversight of the dev forgetting to change a placeholder text but, it does leave a pretty good message that alcohol can change you.
this is the moment lisa became mojito lady
It's probably an accurate representation of how bartenders remember customers
Like your "oversight oversight" 😅
@@Kelly-hh7jzexactly what I thought
@@Kelly-hh7jzdefinitely how i refer to them!
It's slightly terrifying how Manly's upload schedule seems to correlate with whenever I decide to get inebriated.
Chill out mate it's monday
@@umbrellastation25 I do not make excellent decisions.
@@umbrellastation25monday? It's tuesday now here!
It's slightly concerning how manly uploads really often and every time you're inebriated. Take a fortnight of no drinking. Just to prove you can. If you crave, if you feel like you NEED it, seek help. I say this as a former medic. Seen alcoholism ruin too many lives and nobody sees it until it's too late.
@@badgerbane Aww, thanks, boss. I'm mostly just jesting (and only moderately tipsy) though. Got plenty of problems already, and I'm not sure if I'd be able to handle alcoholism being piled on top of them. I appreciate the concern regardless. Thank you for being a good chap. I hope you have a wonderful day.
Lisa ripped her hair out- she was stressed and came there to drink her problems away. Likely stress from school.
Marcus was kind and approachable, he'd listen to anybody, but never spoke about himself, he was likely desperate for human contact, he needed "another sunrise" cause he was falling apart inside, and likely didn't want to live, but also never reached out.
Henry seemed like he was frustrated with his job, and people in general, and just seemed malicious-- I can't read what his deal was other than...picking a job he didn't like.
I think this was just one night- where the bartender saw them as their problems- and not as they really were that day.
I think Henry was the kind of guy who wanted more than life but chose survival more than living
i like this interpretation, a fully fledged game about a bartender who can literally see people as their problems sounds kinda interesting
Henry was resentful, other people frustrated him and he looked down on the folks at his job who caused him problems.
@@sxained1261
When the bartender have the skill [bartender-sight] but unaware of it.
@@sxained1261 Bartender with their Wisdom stat maxed out rolling an Insight check.
The true horror of this is just being a bartender, my social anxiety went nuts when I did that for four months 😂
I think its the coolest job... Listen to people's stories and mixing drinks.
For a job that doesn't require a degree, its like my top 5 picks behind like...baking and barista.
Lol you wish, try working at anything from the Health area, you will see Kates doing a show everyday
@@honaleriExcept some people may are acting out of line.
Oh also would not recommend working in a smoking allowed bar for health reasons
@@JoceBeggar no need to downplay someone's experience
@@honaleriyou sound as someone who actually didn't work at this job 🙄
"A horror game, where you're a bartender" Sounds like the usual day of work for me.
PS. Friendly reminder to not shake drinks that have soda in them, your shaker will blast off.
was gonna say, ive never seen a drink with club soda in it get shaken and that doesn't even sound appealing either lol... I wasn't even thinking about the cap popping off the shaker, i was genuinely thinking about the soda going flat and defeating the purpose of putting it in the drink in the first place lol
What do bartenders do to mix carbonated drinks?
@@MrEvan312 stir, not shake ;)
@@jayvee1387 Nice.
@@MrEvan312 Carbonates stuff usually goes on top, without being mixed, like with some drinks having soda water in them
Alternatively we just stir it if we do want it mixed. Thankfully carbonated stuff mixes very well without stirring it hard
Is Manly still in marketable plushie form? Imagine going in the get a drink and you just see a notably masculine plushie on the counter cleaning a glass.
That is either a sign that I've had enough to drink, or that I _haven't_ had enough to drink

Manly: There is a bug when you add the ingredients too fast
Also Manly: Proceeds to add the ingredients even faster.
This might be a deep metaphor for alcoholism and different ways addiction can take advantage of you but I can't stop replaying the part where Manly gaslights himself into thinking he added the orange juice. Was slightly hoping it wouldn't be immediately obvious that he didn't add the OJ and later on he would see the horrors and make some quip about this being the lack of OJ's fault, maybe something about Vitamin C deficiency. Great game though!
I wonder if most devs make their games with metaphors in mind. This one seems like it obviously is but others aren’t as obvious. Though I can’t really figure out what the game about the diaper man murderer is trying to tell us.
Edit: on second look I think the diaper man murderer represents corporate exploitation of the workers.
the what.@@Misclicking_orc
@@danielsousa7860 The diaper man murder? Manly made a vid on him relatively recently.
@@Misclicking_orc what diaper man murderer game? Also, ALL games should have some sort of anticapitalist metaphor about the exploitation of the working class, so that all games can be based.
There's a saying that a drunk man's words are a sober one's thoughts. Often when your inhibitions are lowered you tend to cut loose and externalize things that you can better internalize while sober.
Henry resents people and finds them annoying, but he can't say no or tell others off at work. Deep down, he wants to be dominant, to scare others so they'll stop bothering him.
Lisa is stressed and takes it out on herself, she tries to keep it together but she puts herself under too much pressure and this externalizes as her pulling her own hair out.
Marcus is probably very depressed inside, he tries to put on a good front so others won't worry or think he's a downer, but he has a lot of pent-up sadness and wants to let it out like many young men but he deems it taboo to talk about himself.
What these three all have in common is repressed emotions that come out of the closet if they drink enough.
🍊
Yeah it's just showing their true selves instead of how they try to present themselves normally. It's taking the phrase "Keeping up appearances" literally. Henry is a cynic and the more he drinks the more of his assholic side starts to pop out (repesented by him looking unhinged). Lisa is overburdened and stressed out and the more she drink starts to worry about things (represented by ripping her hair out her scalp and looking more manic). Marcus has severe depression and the more he drinks the more hopeless he starts to feel (represented by his eyes bulging out and looking hollow/dead inside).
It's a pretty straight-forward in what it's trying to say and just going about it with the absolute extreme. Plus working at a college bar in a small town you get to know the regulars and it's the same song and dance, so I sort of understand what the dev was trying to convey with their message. You see these types a lot, and start to see who they really are just not to this extreme...some times lmfao...
Not exactly though. Alcohol doesn't just lower inhibitions, it impairs judgement. Basically you say and do things you wouldn't, not just what you "want to do deep insude". Any former alcoholic can attest to that. I don't do a lot of things alcoholics do just because I'm inhibited, but because I have planning skills.
I think henry may be a tad bit of people pleaser beacause everyone like this can not be kinder to everyone they don't dislike or hate simply for the reason: beacause he finds some people annoying or bothersome.
Vibin with Lisa fr fr (i have a bad hapit of pulling my scalp hair, eyebrows and eyelashes out, and it hightens when i get stressed)
I'm pretty sure the game is about the bartender realizing how what he does (serve people alcohol to deal with their problems) is destroying them, and so at the end he destroys himself with alcohol as well to cope, making it go full circle.
Imo I thought he starting drinking from ptsd, since judging from the jumpscares he actually *was* going to die if he didn’t give them properly made drinks, and I heard there are some people out there who use alcohol to cope with their ptsd
@@qualityqueenbiteszadusto My interpretation relies on the jumpscares and overall horror elements being allegorical, and not literal. But if we were to take the events at face value, that certainly sounds like a plausible explanation!
The real horror is just being a Bartender
Which is why when I was younger and used to go out to drink I'd tip well and always made sure I was on my next behavior even when completely sloshed. Bartending is its own special form of hell. I don't need to be responsible for adding to it and making a sibling in labor suffer needlessly.
It has it's pros and cons but the job is definitely appealing if you like mixing drinks and socialize (mostly listen to people)
But if anyone reading this wants to be a bartender ensure that you are safe/that the place is safe.
This is va-11 hall-a but scary
i had a friend that was a bartender, he told me some stories, yep, it´s terrifying
The real horror are the drinks we made on the way.
I feel like this game could be about the self-destructive behavior of "self-medicating" with alcohol instead of dealing with their issues in a healthier way. Lisa was clearly dealing with a lot of stress and anxiety, Marcus seemed depressed, and Henry seemed to be pushing down and repressing his emotions.
I like your conclusion
my friend olivia mccabe was on the dev team that made this game!!! she’s a wonderfully talented art student and this was made for a game dev class. it is so exciting to see one of my favorite youtubers playing her game!
14:44
Jumpscare warning, but I just love-
Game: *screeches at Manly with a nightmare face*
Manly: I think I did it wrong
Thanks for the warning 😭
"Which is a horror game... where you're a bartender" ah yes the horrors of the service industry
I heard of drinks that burn ya chest but this is ridiculous.
HA!
“Apparently there’s a bug if you put ingredients in too fast it doesn’t register”
Proceeds to put the mint in too fast
Because the footage for the other outcomes are taken from the 2nd, 3rd and 4th playthroughs of the game.
@@ManlyBadassHero Did u just liked your own comment
@@controlplusc27 Yes, obviously. Who doesn't like their own comments?
I, absolutely, did not like my own comment.
@@Basilmoment Liking ur own comment is gay.
The team that made this were fellow students in my game dev class. Really cool to see you playing it!
Worked as a bartender for a while in college and can confirm that this is pretty accurate
This is like those PSA about drugs.
"This is what happens on alcohol! Your eyes will bleed, fall out, you'll rip out your hair and go crazy! Never drink, ever."
’ ’ HAHA YOU’RE AN ACCOUNTANT! ’ ’ - Manly 2023
There’s something about this game that feels less horror and feels more sad. :(
Plot twist - None of those 3 drinks are actually shaken.
Old Fashioned is stirred.
Mojito is built, mixed with bar spoon and topped off with soda.
Tequila sunrise is built.
As for what happened looking at their faces...nothing mate, just your regular shift.
Regards ,
A former bartender
I hate it when I order a drink and my face starts melting.
same, just happens too often, I can't keep up with re-growing the skin and all
I’m obsessed with this art style so nostalgic
olivia mccabe did the art! she’s a friend of mine and very talented :3
@@fluffyhamster7 she really is! Where could I find more of her stuff?!
@@isychia4947there was also another artist on the game who you can see in the game’s description!
Man. I didn't realise this game would have a jumpscare. Wasn't anywhere close to expecting it, made my lower stomach tighten something fierce lol.
Bruh Old Fashioned is stirred, Tequila Sunrise is either stirred or layered, and you don't ever add club soda to a shaker who let this bartender cook for real 💯💯💯
No wonder they all started melting
Yeah the sunrise effect is lost if you shake it up 😅
That shaker gonna blow up making the mojito
Right!? Almost as if it was a game.
@@itsgonnabeanaurfrommethis is the same argument as "It doesn't have to be good, it's for kids"
Yeah, how dare someone try and add some realism to the main game mechanic. Who cares if it breaks the immersion?
man, that was good! it's such a shame the concept wasn't expanded upon a bit more. i would be willing to get invested in these characters and their problems, see more horror shenanigans unfold, perhaps get some insight on the protagonist's demons as well. i really hope the dev decides to do another longer take on this project! so lovely.
A shaken old fashioned, terrifying
Edit: actuality HILARIOUS that they chose the 3 drinks you don’t usually shake Lmao
"Please... *s t r o n g e r*" and "make it STRONG, then make it *S T R O N G E R*" is pretty much what I tell myself at the gym on the daily. Can relate.
I'm cool with it not being explained, it works open to interpretation. Stuck in purgatory, just a nightmare, or maybe the bartender is just drunk too. Either way, it's great to see this gameplay applied to a horror game.
For anyone curious, the barista game Manly is referring to is Coffee Talk (which has a sequel).
Dont think a single one of those cocktails are shaken irl lol
Judging from other comments I've seen the drinks that were chosen are actually not shaken (at least usually), so pretty ironic
The game is actually literal. This is just what happens when you shake these drinks and someone drinks them.
I can confirm nothing strange is going on, I often look like them after my daily 6 hour bar binge
Its kinda strange because henry and lisa look insane when they are turning, but Marcus seems depressed.
Shaking a drink with club soda in the shaker and not poured on top afterwards is a recipe for disaster.
Makes me happy to hear people reference VA11 Hall-A, it's an all time favorite game of mine. I hope the dev for this game cleans it up and continues to add more!
The horror part is where you’re forced to shake an old fashioned to advance the game and no one says shit about it
14:00 I was thinking this was definitely modeled as a love note to Coffee Talk, as soon as the customer made you lose your recipe guide I knew for sure!
_Reflections in a bartender's eyes_
I agree with you. I don't know that the people changed at all except in the eyes of the bartender. Henry was 'gonna need a refill' because of dealing with people's money troubles. Lisa became the Mojito Lady as you gave her the first drink and you commented that she was stressed, as she had come in every day even before this 'celebration day'. And then Marcus who never talked about himself, except that things 'could be better. Bartender felt he was hiding how much life was hurting him.
I enjoyed this and wished it was longer. I think the confusion about what to double in the drinks gave great scares lol.
The guy on the thumbnail looks like when a anime protagonist get brutally beaten by the villain but the gets up and says that he was only getting started
“This is manlybadasshero here with a 30 hour video of the entire lore, all endings, all items, all chaos emeralds for the New Horror Game released 5 seconds ago”
(Not a hate comment I like this content lol)
And he would sound half asleep the entire time because he wouldn't sleep before getting the full game to us
I'm a new bartender, and honestly I could go for a game where you're just making drinks so I can put it all to memory
there's something like that for VR on Steam, not sure how good it is though
7:50- Bro became horrid henry
My theory its about alcoholism And how it can rapidly change someone. Deteriorate them And can cause them to become violent
As a bartender irl, every day is like a horror game rofl
Man, I missed you so much!! I've taken a week long break from UA-cam to focus on some other stuff and I missed getting cozy in bed and falling asleep to your voice every day
this artstyle is so nice to look at, i love the colors.
as a full time bartender the fact that they make you SHAKE the old fashioned makes my face want to melt off. that's a stirred cocktail sobemoji
one of the creators commented (here) that they didn't have enough time so shaking is the best compromise they could go for for everything
manlybadasshero is the best candidate for a narrator for pretty much any game
Or as a guest VA in a creepypasta reading.
The dev played Coffee Talk , I bet
I think forgetting recipes when the game throws in a recipe you already know is the same psychological effect some get when they are asked like in an interview or in a group "tell us about yourself' and suddenly they have no clue who they are (well okay they do know, it isn't amnesia or anything but you get what I mean) and question everything about themselves. I don't do this myself but have seen plenty who do and I find it fascinating how that sort of 'being watched/judged' pressure effects them. Psychological cousin to minor stage fright, maybe? Whatever the case it is interesting.
I keep returning to this video, by this time I'm on my 5th rewatch. There's something about this game... Very soothing, even with the horror. I loved the music and the concept. I pray the dev expands it. Thank you, Manly
I'm laughing that you posted this today since I just passed and completed a bartending course yesterday. 😂🍾🥂
The ironic timing at it's best lol, but on a serious note - nice, good job! I hope your career will go well and that future customers won't cause issues! :)
Just found your channel and I am blown away by how soothing your voice is
God this game’s art-style is so- just- *_YUMMY_*
Watching this behind the bar on a slow monday right around 1 am
The thing i like about ManlyBadassHero is that he is a completionist if theres an option he will take both of them and we see both outcomes and its jsut so interesting and thats why i dont watch some of the other youtubers but Manly just does it perfectly.
This game sounds like a horror themed, almost parody of that wholesome game coffee talk.
"which is a horror game!" idk why but i love when you say that
I haven't seen you for years as you're still Posting more horror pixel games I love it
This looks like Coffee Talk but alcohol instead of coffee
3:11 4:15 Her name changes to Mojito Lady, this is probably her being named after her addiction but, it's way funnier to think this is what they called her while in development and forgot to change her name for that part.
My sister and I filmed this game tonight and while playing..we couldn’t figure out the very end and we watched you for guidance, and ended up winning. We finished up the recording and watched you after, safe to say she really likes your content
Its one am right now, perfect timing as always manly.
Coffee Talk: benadryl nightmare
Alcohol brings the worst out of you, I think this game goes as simple as that, and it works perfectly.
Your Voice acting is ON POINT
-NIce Job
I got a skincare ad while someone was melting 💀
Papa's boozeria
Being in the service industry myself, this just seems like a fairly routine evening of serving customers.
As a bartender, it’s fun to see the correct recipes even if you shouldn’t shake old fashioneds
very unique premise for a horror game
i interpreted this as the three 'types of drunk people'
Henry was the laughing drunk
Lisa was the flirty drunk
Marcus was the sad drunk
i'm probably wrong about this lol
🍊
lisa's not really a flirty drunk. It seems like her stress bubbled up to the surface when she's drunk. Nevertheless, the game is about different types of drunks.
Bro its not that deep. Its a 20-minute low-effort flash game.
@@KenLinxwell, this is where people can say anything they want. So it is deep for them.
@@KenLinx Just because a game takes about 20 minutes to play and seems to have taken low effort to make makes it instantly not worth analyzing and making theories about? Let people have fun, just because something seems simple and easy to look over/ignore doesn't make it not worth looking into.
As a bartender, this is very accurate to a day at work..
This is the perfect video to eat in the dark with blue ranch doritos.
As a bartender I'm mortified they made an old fashioned with a shaker...
makes me wonder too if it might symbolize what happens when they keep drinking and can't stop
Shaking an Old Fashioned will definitely make bartenders scream, but I don't think it will be out of fear.
What if the drinks itself is contaminated with something that makes their face melt off and it is reflected by their looks and personality. The bartender probably dumb to not stop them serving these drinks.
He died when he served wrong so you know what happens if he don't
I was thinking the same thing. Then the bartender started to drink themselves and the same thing probably happened to them as well.
As a bartender, this is almost a satirical take on actuality
no one’s talking about the eyeballs inside the drink when you get it wrong
MANLY I LOVE UR CONTENT
This game gets a little creepy since it takes place at night.
Manlys theroy at the end seems spot on, especially with lisa. Pulling out your hair is known to happen if one is too stressed.
the music is really relaxing
Having a drink with manlybadasshero would be an awesome thing.
Damn I wanna give Marcus a hug.🙁 I know the feeling all too well.
The game itself overall is okay amd not bad, I just wish it could have more than one endings and the mixing bug didn't ruin the game.
Just imagine the bartender tricking them, by refusing to giving them the drink until they tell them what is wrong. They give them the drinks and the Next drink we can decide to not give them the drink and counseling before finally giving them the choice to either drink their sorrows/problems or try to seek help.
@@deviallen2131 yeah! The game itself however has good plot despite being short, about people consuming alcohol for coping in their lives.
@@winterphuntasm Yeah, i think the Game is mostly to portray the horrors of alcoholism. Is like the game where the Guy has cáncer and yet he still smokes.
Thank you for not spoiling the game in the thumbnail.
This game reminds me of the flirty bartender asmr I used to listen to a while back.
It might just be me, but if I was serving customers that were bleeding from the eyes or ripping their hair out, I would call 911
When I drink I just get giggly damn
04:00 is such a relatable feel. My brain second-guesses everything I've ever known as soon as it's presented within the context of a videogame
It's not as horrifying as the time I was in a hotel bar and all the patrons turned out to be man eating lizards. The floor was soaked with blood and people were still serving drinks to the damn things. Jesus!
