Below I have a somewhat of a role analysis/"skill profile" of each of the runaway guys and their guest Tom for this LP. This is purely just for fun and not meant to be taken super seriously. I outline each of the members strengths based on what I have observed across the LP thus far. Let me know your opinions and what other traits and skills you've noticed in the episodes that have been uploaded. Tom: Great at giving orders and commands and essentially being the executive/head chef (evident by one of his favorite catchphrases during this LP: "1 fish, 1 chip" lol). These kinds of direct orders may seem bossy and condescending at times however they're given with the best intention and they're necessary to unite the team and delegate tasks. Tim: Great at listening and doing repetitve tasks. Also takes direction well. (It may seem at times that Tim seems flustered but that's only because he's the most active listener trying to listen to 3 people simultaneously which of course would cause significant confusion). Tim is doing good for this not being his normal genre of game. Jon: He's proficient with the games mechanics and has great observational skills knowing what ingredients need to be chopped, cooked, etc., as well as other various tasks that require good awareness and game sense. This leads to some clutch moments. Emile: Jack of all trades/all-rounder. Isn't super skilled at anything in particular but isn't lacking in any area either(except by making the occasional mistake which all the runaway guys have done at some point. It's just the nature of the game). Every team needs an all rounder and Emile provides great additional support when needed. *I think that the runaway guys and Tom are progressively getting better and slowly cementing themselves in these niches I described over time. I think that if they have more awareness of each other and realize what each member excels at then they will have amazing synergy.
This may be just for fun, but it's a seriously good breakdown of the Guys. Doubly so for Tim, he seems to keep half his brain on the game and half on his friends, which isn't a bad thing.
@@DinnerForkTongue Thanks for replying, your compliment means a lot to me because I want to make sure I'm not misinterpreting these sorts of things relating to real people and am not discounting any of their strengths.
I tend to pay attention to the guest the most during TRG playthroughs that aren't Fortune Street (Or don't have a guest), so I haven't been looking at the other guys, Tim especially, much. It's interesting to hear a proper analysis of what they're doing, and I have to agree with the assessment, it's certainly a game with hiccups abound, but everybody seems to be pulling their weight, which is usual, but still nice to see despite all the jokes or comments or whatever from either TRG themselves or the TH-cam comments that somebody is or isn't underperforming.
The reason they did so well on the pizza level was Emile, because he finally did what they needed to do from the beginning make a bunch of regular pizzas. And when he stopped for a little bit they fell apart until he got back to it.
but he announced what he was doing but no one else took the reign. it's bassically there fault for not realizing that premaking chesse pizza's is completely necessary.
@@174Anime when you're playing this game, you're really only ever focused on what you yourself have and are doing. It's hard to focus on what someone else is doing, esp if you've gotten that rhythm
Yep. Cheese pizzas, beef burgers and rice burritos are very good to just churn out all the time, since they're the baseline that you just add to for certain orders. Shame that you can't do it for soups.

@JP It's a "Sonic Heroes" reference. If you play Team Chaotix, it's possible to use Espio's leaf tornado to turn invisible. If you stand near Vector long enough while doing so he might say the quoted line.
This level brings new meaning to the phrase "blind LP". Which is what this series turned into as of the previous episode or 2. Talk about hilarious in hindsight.
If TRG starts a Videogame series, more often than not, they will continue it. A big example being Mario Party, others being Wii party, New Super Mario Bros, Rayman, and Little Big Planet. I'd say it's very likely they will play it at some point.
Hopefully they do the dlc when they do overcooked 2, I don't remember if trg has ever done the dlc in their projects. New super luigi u doesn't really count
@@pyroman4554 I don't think they've actually done any games that have had dlc. Although, if it does have dlc, I don't see why they wouldn't do it. They did Tetra's Trackers in their Four Swords lp.
Trauma Center: forces you to do surgery in the dark to save a dying man in a tunnel who shouldn’t be moved: acceptable. Overcooked: What if we cooked... in the dark... for our training? Trauma Center: Uhhhhhh...
"its based on memorization rather than skill" i'd argue that IS a skill, its not like the game is using RNG or luck to determine things, its based on your ability to see things for only a split second and remember where they are. As a student of game design the biggest issue i see with the level is the lack of range on the player light and maybe adding a few more occurrences of lightning flashes.
Yeah - memorization is still a skill. I’d also move the mushrooms as well - that’s kinda a shitty place for them (the UI designer and the level designers clearly didn’t coordinate well enough on that). I feel like for the first dark level you should have everything of one type in one place (like usual), but if they do more dark levels then progress to moving things around like that. It’s really brutal to have both of those mechanics like that on a first go of that level type, especially when the player isn’t sure how it works. The lights suck as well - it’s not a great level.
3:31 Seems like a bit of an oversight. You can place soup from the pot, cooked patties from the pan, and fried fish and fries from a submerged basket into a (sunken) plate. Why not pizza? 6:00 Where’s the killer wind, Emile? It’s not The Happening without the killer wind. 9:30 I mean who knows for sure what’s in those sausages? 10:15 This looks like an awful Mario Party minigame. Never taking the visibility cones produced by flashlights and other light sources in most other video games for granted ever again. 14:22 Saying this like memorization isn’t as much of a skill as, say, reaction time, though that doesn’t make this any more of a fun level.
Technically the pizza oven is different from the others, since in those you can pickup the pan/pot/basket and put it in a plate and viceversa. With the pizza oven, you can't pickup any container, just the pizza itself. Still doesn't make sense, though.
The dark level, in itself, wouldn't be so bad if the layout was a bit more...organized. You know, to make memorization easier. Instead, everything is scattered about. The ingredients are each in different corners of the map. The pots are to the West and the North East sides. The cutting boards are to the West and South. The map is in a U-shape because a bit of counter poking out, and THAT'S where the trash is, between the Mushrooms and the North pot, making it very easy to forget that trash bin is even there in the dark. One of the ingredients is literally hiding behind the timer. Everything is literally everywhere and it is awful.
Dragonpit As contrarian it sounds to say that this level of Overcooked should be less chaotic, you’re right. For how disorganized and chaotic things could get in previous levels, most everything was grouped together or had some sort of uniformity in their setup in the case of the second ship level (Not all of the pots were together, but there were two on each side). They taught you to expect that of future levels to come, and it’s rather rude to take this expectations, throw them in the shredder and then spit them back at the player’s face.
@@CarMedicine But this makes things worse. With other things, there is a container with possible safe to grab spots. Pizza is not safe to grab with your hands.
on the other hand, I have personally played a tone of this game and its sequel, Overcooked 2 as well as seen other TH-cam channels play a lot of this game. I await in _horrid_ anticipation when they put out videos of them attempting the future levels
Good to see them actually organize themselves on these successive rounds, they can make a really great team. You almost got the pizza one! The dark room one confused them, a lot, but as soon as they know where stuff is it won't be too much of a problem. Yeah, it's still a really weak one, and the mushrooms under the timer really feels like a development oversight.
My song know what you cooked in the dark... So light the kitchen up because TheRunwayGuys are on fire. ...hopefully not literally. Also just from the first couple of seconds I hate the dark level
So, I’m just watching these now, but I think it’s safe to say the catchphrase of this game is: “Tim...” There is “tim, no!” “Tim, put it down!” “Tim, grab the soup!” And obviously: “Tim, choose your character”
I don't get why Tom throws away all the saved up ingredients, yeah you might not need it "RIGHT NOW" but it's good to have things saved if it's not in the way.
I actually have a story related to the stage where you can't see. One of my friends brought this game up to our group and because this LP was going on at the same time, I chimed in and convinced our group to play this game. We had our arguments, discussions, and celebrations just like TRG, but if there was one thing we were able to do was actually get 3 stars on that Dark Level. It took us a while to do so since its an awful stage, but we all had our roles and we eventually played them masterfully.
You know what might have been good for the pizza level? assigning quadrants to one person each. South guy fetches ingredients, East/West guys handle chopping/plating/serving interchangeably with the hauntings, and North guy puts the pizzas in the oven and watches them.
My wife and I just started playing this game. A lot of fun at the beginning, then we got super stressed around world 3, but then we got into a great rhythm and actually 3-starred the dark level first try.
The johns on the last level, oh my lord. Memorization is as much a skill as everything else. The game has been testing your memorization all along, this twist on the challenge is taking away your moment of building a memory, and making you have to do that during the actual time of the level. Whether it was done effectively is a whole nother point
I think it's funny that in most cases in this LP Emile and Tim on the same side causes issues, but on 4-1 both do really well when they're both on the bottom portion.
I actually do feel bad for Tim here. His reactions just seem so slow and can't keep up with all the chaos. I did learn through the commetns that he does have sleep apnea. Then again, Tim usually doesn't work well with games that require an analog stick. He's usually better with an NES/SNES-style controller. Seriously just put him in front of something like a classic Mega Man game with said setup, and he's a master. I understand this was recorded months in advance, but the reason why you guys aren't getting anywhere above one star in these later stages is because you aren't doing orders left to right. Because you guys are taking care of the more recent, simple orders while disregarding more complex orders that have been on the lineup for longer periods of time, you aren't getting the points you need. Also that stage being in the dark is not about skill, it's about layout memorization. You're intended to use the flashlights as well as the lightning flashes to get your bearings and interpret where the ingredients and stations are. Though I do admit this stage could've been done better.
Not sure if the sleep apnea is that big of an issue for him, but he does self diagnose as having some form of HFA which would make chaotic teamwork games like this quite difficult
"Baby loves to dance in the dark. Cause' when he's looking, she falls apart. Baby loves to dance, loves to dance in the dark." - Lady Gaga, "Dancing in the Dark" from Fame Monster 2009
The dark stage is really not that bad once you figure out where everything is, because it's a normal kitchen aside from darkness. No moving parts or pits of death or anything like that.
Man, I really slept on this series while it was coming out, this is actually quite good. I wasn't interested in Overcooked at first but this is pretty fun, aside from how hard it is to pay attention to everything at once (which makes it accurate to how it feels to play it).
I remember the Haunted Pizza Kitchen™, but not the Soup Kitchen of Eternal Darkness™. This world's a little rough in that regard, but the guys are definitely getting into a rhythm. Emile making cheese pizzas constantly was actually a good way to keep active when nothing else was going on. Gotta hand it to the devs, they nailed the idea that you should always be doing something while cooking. Like prep work if you've got down time.
That dark level looks frigging miserable. Not to mention the mushrooms being hidden by the timer. Did they not playtest this? [AVGN voice] What were they thinking?!
What? Those are clearly gas burners, with blue flames coming out from the middle. If you look at the top burner when there's nothing on it, the bottom part of the blue ring looks smaller than the top part, meaning it's 3D, confirming that it is indeed a flame.
They've done alright so far. If they never revisited levels (aside from that no-star run), only now at 4-3 would they have been blocked off (they would have had 36/38 of what's needed)
He's usually not great in chaotic situations due to being distracted by commentary and tired from sleep apnea. This is pretty much the cooking version of how he was in Rayman Origins.
Fair enough I wasn't aware of that! It sort of feels like someone shouting instructions more clearly would've made things easier for everyone rather than people being focused so much on their own thing
I wouldn't say chaotic, because Tim also looked out of sorts during the Luigi's Mansion LP, and that game is not nearly as chaotic as this one. But at least it's good to know he actually has a condition, I was getting worried with him being so distraught. I hope it doesn't affect him too much.
Someone correct me if I’m wrong (might be thinking of overcooked 2) but don’t you get more tips if you do the orders in order? I remember there being a multiplier but I haven’t played in a long time.
Was asking because I feel like they should be doing better considering they’re teamwork is actually pretty good (for once), yet they still don’t get three stars all the time.
I personally don't really like "dark" levels in games typically, tbh. I can understand the logic that it's just another problem that you need to be prepared for, but something about not even being allowed to see what I'm working with just feels... cheap to me. Not that it actually is cheap, but it does feel that way sometimes.
oh yeah, I think I know the one you're talking about. The one where it's limited to one cutting board regardless of the amount of players. That'll be very difficult for them to coordinate for sure but I believe in them
his would be so much easier if they just did one job each there are 4 of them 1 should wash dishes 1 should cut food 1 should cook food and 1 should deliver also for stages that the stage moves there should never be 1 person alone
There is a Rugrats Mario party esque game for Nintendo 64 that will be great as a future let's play for you guys as well as star wars racing episode 1 my siblings and I always enjoyed them. And way can't wait till the next update guys. Your friend Jarred.ps it's pronounced Jared not Jarred.
I can understand the dark level in a haunted house but hiding mushrooms behind the timer was just dirty
Whoever hid the mushrooms was not a fun guy.
It was definitely a dismal location for that shroom box.
@@Aquotron I see what you did there 😏

Relocating the mushroom box and doubling the range of the cooks' torches would have made this way better.

The problem is specifically that you're given no hints as to where things are in the dark, so you have to learn on the fly.

I don't get why Tom throws away all the saved up ingredients, yeah you might not need it "RIGHT NOW" but it's good to have things saved if it's not in the way.
I actually have a story related to the stage where you can't see. One of my friends brought this game up to our group and because this LP was going on at the same time, I chimed in and convinced our group to play this game. We had our arguments, discussions, and celebrations just like TRG, but if there was one thing we were able to do was actually get 3 stars on that Dark Level. It took us a while to do so since its an awful stage, but we all had our roles and we eventually played them masterfully.
Oh now that level was just plain brutal with only the quick bursts of lightning and the mushrooms hidden behind the timer.
1:30 "thank you emile"
In the dark, in the dark, would you, could you, in the dark?
I would not, could not, in the dark! :D I see you are a man of culture as well
I do not do things in the dark. I will not do them, Sam-I-Mark
As a McDonald's manager in training, watching this game reminds me so much of my job and I love it.
You know what might have been good for the pizza level? assigning quadrants to one person each. South guy fetches ingredients, East/West guys handle chopping/plating/serving interchangeably with the hauntings, and North guy puts the pizzas in the oven and watches them.
4:32 I find that funny for some reason.
My wife and I just started playing this game. A lot of fun at the beginning, then we got super stressed around world 3, but then we got into a great rhythm and actually 3-starred the dark level first try.
It's not a game of Overcooked until somebody panics and puts the food on the plate then immediately takes it back off.
The johns on the last level, oh my lord. Memorization is as much a skill as everything else. The game has been testing your memorization all along, this twist on the challenge is taking away your moment of building a memory, and making you have to do that during the actual time of the level. Whether it was done effectively is a whole nother point
I think it's funny that in most cases in this LP Emile and Tim on the same side causes issues, but on 4-1 both do really well when they're both on the bottom portion.
I actually do feel bad for Tim here. His reactions just seem so slow and can't keep up with all the chaos. I did learn through the commetns that he does have sleep apnea. Then again, Tim usually doesn't work well with games that require an analog stick. He's usually better with an NES/SNES-style controller. Seriously just put him in front of something like a classic Mega Man game with said setup, and he's a master.
I understand this was recorded months in advance, but the reason why you guys aren't getting anywhere above one star in these later stages is because you aren't doing orders left to right. Because you guys are taking care of the more recent, simple orders while disregarding more complex orders that have been on the lineup for longer periods of time, you aren't getting the points you need.
Also that stage being in the dark is not about skill, it's about layout memorization. You're intended to use the flashlights as well as the lightning flashes to get your bearings and interpret where the ingredients and stations are. Though I do admit this stage could've been done better.
yeah poor Tim he seems overwhelmed most of the time
Not sure if the sleep apnea is that big of an issue for him, but he does self diagnose as having some form of HFA which would make chaotic teamwork games like this quite difficult
Whoever came with the idea of hiding ingredients behind the timer, is a Smartass and a Genius
I dont know if Tim is confused or actively trolling on purpose. I love it
"Baby loves to dance in the dark. Cause' when he's looking, she falls apart. Baby loves to dance, loves to dance in the dark." - Lady Gaga, "Dancing in the Dark" from Fame Monster 2009
That stage looked awful.
The dark stage is really not that bad once you figure out where everything is, because it's a normal kitchen aside from darkness. No moving parts or pits of death or anything like that.
@@peterpeladon
You could even go so far as to call it a breather level.
My fight-or-flight response got triggered the moment that stage got started.
I think so too. I have a bad memory so I would do awful on that stage.
I'm glad none of these ghosts asked for pineapple pizza. That would be unholy.
Memorization is a skill
9:19 "I do better at the bottom than the top" - Tim 2020
I'm ok with showing them redoing stages in those parts because the Mansion theme is god-tier.
Why should I waste money lighting the whole store?
Man, I really slept on this series while it was coming out, this is actually quite good. I wasn't interested in Overcooked at first but this is pretty fun, aside from how hard it is to pay attention to everything at once (which makes it accurate to how it feels to play it).
Hiding the mushroom dispenser underneath the fuckin' timer? I'm sorry, but that's *_F U C K I N ' R A W!_*
I remember the Haunted Pizza Kitchen™, but not the Soup Kitchen of Eternal Darkness™. This world's a little rough in that regard, but the guys are definitely getting into a rhythm. Emile making cheese pizzas constantly was actually a good way to keep active when nothing else was going on.
Gotta hand it to the devs, they nailed the idea that you should always be doing something while cooking. Like prep work if you've got down time.
Pizza going out, *COME ON!*
9:45 high quality entertainment right there.
i want them to play overcooked 2 because throwing, cannons, and waterguns
♫♩ Cooooooking in the dark ♫ ♩
♫ With soup between my arms ♫♩
♩ ♫ Onions on the stove ♩♫
♫ ♩ We're listening to our friends yell ♫ ♩
If a restaurant operates during a complete blackout, I have to wonder if they're compliant towards safety standards.
0:15
In the distance...
ONE, TWO, OATMEAL
Cooking in the dark? Isn't that kinda dangerous?
With Emile, generally yes. With Jon and Emile, definitely.
Round 2: Tim has an obsession with mushrooms
That haunted house theme gets frustratingly close to Fountain of Dreams
That dark level looks frigging miserable. Not to mention the mushrooms being hidden by the timer. Did they not playtest this? [AVGN voice] What were they thinking?!
Meanwhile, world 5 waits menacingly
Wait, if that stage is in a power outage, how do the burners still work? They're clearly electric burners, otherwise there'd be a flame on them...
maybe they're on a different breaker
@@MadroxMonoxide777
This. ⤴ In modern buildings the lights are all governed by one separate breaker.
What? Those are clearly gas burners, with blue flames coming out from the middle. If you look at the top burner when there's nothing on it, the bottom part of the blue ring looks smaller than the top part, meaning it's 3D, confirming that it is indeed a flame.
@@DinnerForkTongue Or sometimes an entirely separate panel depending on the size of the building.
The music for this area makes me think of Gourmet Race
(makes hot choco in the dark) wow. not bad guys.
The thumbnail wouldn't load for me on PC, but since dark theme made it look like a dark grey rectangle I thought it was intentional.
Has anyone ever cooked 🍳 in the kitchen while it's completely dark? If so, I really do feel sorry for you guys
2:15 - 2:17 ; Futurama Reference
Well, which is better: cooking in the dark or dancing in the dark?
They've done alright so far. If they never revisited levels (aside from that no-star run), only now at 4-3 would they have been blocked off (they would have had 36/38 of what's needed)
we need dough!!! dough i missed!!!!!
This song sounds like Gourmet Race
I don't even remember this stage.

I feel bad for chugga cause he has said before he gets anxious easily and this is stressful
Great vid.
That Chuggaaconroy guy is amazing, he should have his own youtube channel 🤔
I WONDER
"Standard cheese, nothing good on it" excuse me, cheese is good :P
that last stage could have been all easier if you paid the electric bill

jon grabbing the wrong plate....that shit hurted
So Tom is the only one who worked in a Resturant, so does that make him the Gordan Ramsay of the group?
No?
Dark chef
Tim hurts my head in this game 😱 He really really seems to struggle to keep up with the game
He's usually not great in chaotic situations due to being distracted by commentary and tired from sleep apnea. This is pretty much the cooking version of how he was in Rayman Origins.
Fair enough I wasn't aware of that! It sort of feels like someone shouting instructions more clearly would've made things easier for everyone rather than people being focused so much on their own thing
@@BrownNinja777 Yeah, they need a Sous Chef badly. Heck, bring in Masae or Lucahjin to direct everything.
I wouldn't say chaotic, because Tim also looked out of sorts during the Luigi's Mansion LP, and that game is not nearly as chaotic as this one. But at least it's good to know he actually has a condition, I was getting worried with him being so distraught. I hope it doesn't affect him too much.
This isn’t new. Tim usually sucks at every game they play and is usually the worst player every time.
Someone correct me if I’m wrong (might be thinking of overcooked 2) but don’t you get more tips if you do the orders in order? I remember there being a multiplier but I haven’t played in a long time.
Was asking because I feel like they should be doing better considering they’re teamwork is actually pretty good (for once), yet they still don’t get three stars all the time.
OK who Watched Trolls World Tour? 4:08-4:10
I personally don't really like "dark" levels in games typically, tbh. I can understand the logic that it's just another problem that you need to be prepared for, but something about not even being allowed to see what I'm working with just feels... cheap to me. Not that it actually is cheap, but it does feel that way sometimes.
Uh-oh. Stage 4-3 is next. That's one of the hardest in the game if its the one I'm thinking of.
oh yeah, I think I know the one you're talking about. The one where it's limited to one cutting board regardless of the amount of players. That'll be very difficult for them to coordinate for sure but I believe in them
@@Doug_MacArthur Yeah! That one! Ugh...that one is hard even with two!
Sparta-Man...
11:25 why does no one listen
his would be so much easier if they just did one job each there are 4 of them 1 should wash dishes 1 should cut food 1 should cook food and 1 should deliver also for stages that the stage moves there should never be 1 person alone
There is a Rugrats Mario party esque game for Nintendo 64 that will be great as a future let's play for you guys as well as star wars racing episode 1 my siblings and I always enjoyed them. And way can't wait till the next update guys. Your friend Jarred.ps it's pronounced Jared not Jarred.
To anyone on mobile after 10:00 go on desktop
*sees 4-2*
Thanks, I hate it
