First an In the Field, now a Storymode? IH is making all your moms happy with his belated Mother’s Day gifts.
this must mean a main channel video tomorrow...
Hopefully we get a main channel video soon
I disliked the hobbies video. Such low effort content.
I know
@@SECONDQUESTcould you do any better, then?
Honestly, we’re getting spoiled with how much content we’re getting from IH
Back in my day it’d take 3 and a half years to get one video you’d have to go on a 15 mile pilgrimage to the nearest 7/11 to use their public WiFi to check the channel
no main channel tho
@@TemmiePlaysso?
Normalize watching entire videos before commenting.
@@Just_normal_youtube_channel never lol
@@TemmiePlays This is the main channel now, old man
The real suffering was waiting for more storymode
bro is blessing us with more storytime. these vids are drogas
Maybe the real suffering was the friends we made along the way?
@@udednow look out your window.
I’d normally agree, but Outlast Expleened just came out less then a month ago, which is a very very short amount of time for IH
The video before this was posted literally two weeks ago, entice your dopamine receptors elsewhere.
I’d like to explain why Torque is on fire at the end. It’s from the secret ending. You see, the guy on the boat rides up to Torque and asks him “What’s going on here? why are you on fire?” and Torque replies very solemnly “Because…I’m Suffering” and the credits roll.
And then Frolic plays.
seriously??
truly the suffering of all time.
@@lemontree9518 Yes, it's 💯% 📠.
Bull shit
Holy shit. The crossover part is just insane, and twice as good as the “real” ending and lore.
We're putting a team together
@@adventurMan5 The Expleengers
@@idiotcube Torgue and the Expleenverse
I kind of liked the ending, I was admittedly a young child when I played it though. It felt nice to impact the ending, little as that impact was, it was a rare thing those days.
@@RoosterFloyd it still is
This was my favorite game as a kid, can't tell you how much I loved it. In third grade, for an English assignment, I even wrote a "novelization" of it and got an A. No doubt it was an absolute loaf of writing on my part but it was like fifty pages.
Thinking on it now I'm surprised the teacher didn't report it, quite a violent setting and story... Man, she was pretty cool.... Or just saw the stack of paper and said "Fuck that, I'm not reading this shit, here's an A"
Based. Got an A doing what you like. Chad move there.
@@joaocosta3374 Actually inspired me to be a writer I loved it so much. In a way, that assignment and this game put me on this path I walk now. As treacherous as it can be, still enjoyable, if not a lonesome one.
oh yeah teacher didnt read that especially if handwritten.
Yeah, they'll tend to just read the start, read the end, flip through it and read random parts, and that's it.
As a kid nice 👹
Don’t forget the moral middle ending where he did kill his wife but by accident and his son was so filled by grief over this he drowned his younger brother and jumped out of the window to spite his dad
Which is supposedly canon for the sequel thing? That felt weird to me
@@bipstymcbipste5641 Suffering 2 actually has 3 different openings, as it can read the save data for the first game. If you don't import the save, you get the neutral opening, but IIRC the good ending is the "canon" one.
@@bipstymcbipste5641 all of them are canon, the sequel takes into account which ending you got and things play differently. There's even endings for all combinations of morality, for example if you get the neutral ending and you finish the second game as good it's revealed that the villain of the game gave your kid crack and he killed his brother because he was high out of his mind.
@@ForumBlackwolfdavethat's fucking stupid. like, it's cool that they have different endings, but it's just a stupid ending.
"oh no. i have taken a stimulant and now i have to kill people." like oh my god i took too much Ritalin and now i want to strangle my mom
Dr. Killjoy is such a cool concept for a villain. He's a ghost that only really comes out from film projectors scattered all over the asylum, yet he can still interact with the physical world to do some seriously messed up stuff to the inmates.
Even some of the prisoners think the doctor is doing the right thing despite the horrors he inflicted on them, possibly blaming the supernatural properties of the island itself for corrupting him.
Fun fact, Hermes (gas monster) and Sergei (the officer smoking a pipe) is voiced by John Patrick Lowrie, the voice actor for the Sniper in TF2 and citizens in HL2.
Also he's married to Ellen Mclain, the voice actor for GLaDOS in Portal 1 and 2.
I didnt know what to do with this information so I had to share it.
Fun fun fun fun
I could instantly tell Goose is voice acted by him too, sounded so much like the HL2 Citizen voice.
Seeing the forspoken reference at the end in between all the other references is like the one superhero in the team-up movie that hasn't gotten their own solo movie yet
Everyone just kinda forgets that President Kennedy was the one who taught Goku how to teleport. Shame kids don't learn their history like they should!
The music, sound effects, and how they made them for The Suffering is great. There's a making-of documentary about it, and one about Eastern State Penitentary, which Carnate Island was heavily inspired by. Also, it was one of the earlier games to have a functioning karma system. Torque's model would change appearance, voice lines would change, and there's multiple endings. It was pretty mind-blowing at the time.
It just sucks that midway went bankrupt. There could have been more content added although admittedly the sequel wasn’t as good. The setting and design like you said is 100 percent top notch for its time
I caught a bit of the making of when it came to the sound design on the game disc (or was it a demo disc) :D so awesome
It's still mind blowing as we have had very few games even manage that
i love this game and its sequel so much they're both so fucking good. the monster designs are top notch, the story is goofy but multiple endings keeps me into it, and its absolutely hilarious that the island and surrounding area these two games are set in literally has so much crime and bad shit tied to it that it literally spawns murder ghosts, is supposed to be in MARYLAND
I mean Baltimore has one of the highest crime rates in America- so it's not coming completely out of left field
@@umbram8073 no i know, thats why i find it so funny. Its the world saying “this place sucks so bad that the ghosts of mfs who got killed are killin people.”
@@dudesinashoe7812 just a Tuesday in DC
Ayy, you're my kind of people. I swear that 90% of the comments complaining about these games have never played them or just recall vague details. They were both a blast, each with their own mood and playstyle. Tons of care was put into the designs. It has a really over-the-top element that you see more in horror films than videogames. It has been 2 decades and there's still nothing to directly compare them to. The old graphics give it an additional layer of creepy ambiance that has aged well
Kind of funny when I think about it. I joked when I played it that they used the guards lives as tutorial hints but really the design is textbook on how to make a good narrative game.
I like how the moral choice system forces every minor character you meet to die immediately, regardless of your path. Because either the characters would either be killed by the player anyway or stay alive and force the devs to make a bunch of different intricate plot branches depending on who was and was not killed, which would just be too much work to implement.
Who says budget constraints can't ADD value to a production?! ❤ Bravo IH not gunna lie you did briefly make me think I was having a stroke when you started "explaining the doctor's final plan" and threw basically every macguffin from previously covered games into the explanation. But it all made sense when Torgue finally abmitted he was actually lebanese all along 😂❤
Budget constraints and hardware limitations is behind pretty much every good game from 1990-2010

This game perfectly describes my experience at Anthrocon after I mistakenly thought it was a convention for Anthropologists.
Kek
I didn’t know wtf you were talking about so I searched Anthrocon and saw this harrowing Q&A from their official page.
“DO I NEED THE PERMISSION OF MY PARENTS TO ATTEND?
Yes. If you are under 18 years old at the time of the convention, you need permission from your parents or a legal guardian in order to attend.
This rule is necessary due to unfortunate situations in years past.”
What do they mean “unfortunate situations”?
…And these “unfortunate situations” are somehow tangentially or directly involved with minors/person under the age of 18?
@@hansmatheson5976Sounds like possibly pedophilia or underage drinking. Or even both.
Fun fact: This game’s PC version was rereleased for free in October 2008, courtesy of the US Air Force.
They also rereleased Area 51 and Rise & Fall: Civilizations at War. I think they were trying to tell us something with these game titles…
Apparently with a massive amount of in-game ads for the airforce
Wait, Rise & Fall is free? Where? Do I have to join the US Air Force to get it?
@@mmtigan Nah, it just included ads. That version doesn’t work on anything past Windows 8.1 and the game is abandonware. Someone released a fixed ad-free version, but you’ll have to find it on your own. (It’s not very difficult.)
You have to marvel at the devs groundbreaking engine allowing such hi res out of focus posters on the cell walls. Truly ahead of their time. Many people have forgotten, but this was the first time in videogame history you could actually tell what the poster art was, and how lucky we were to be graced by such a saucy Fireman.
I'm getting the same feeling a child would have when their father would spoil them a lot before going out to get some milk..
i love that the doctors projection is on a film reel so even in the mc died to the trap the "you survived the trap" message would have still played but since he was dead no one would have known about the mistake.
thats one smart trapper, he must have his doctorate in traps
Honestly this game was a treat back when it first came out. Blockbustered it twice, enjoyed the sequel, probably shouldn't have played it at like 10 but whatever this thing was the neat kind of spooky!
For when it came out it doesn't seem bad at all. It looks like it could have inspired games like the first Evil Within with the sudden manifestations of inner psychological issues / demons and the evil disembodied doctor using the events for his own purposes.
It could have just as easily been a garbage game, you can tell the team that made it was passionate and really exploring the ideas.
To be fair, every video game seems awesome when you're 10. You should replay it as an adult and see if it holds up.
@Soitisisit Did that, and there are a few improvements they could make but I hope they don't change the voice actors. The phone voice, the gas chamber guy, the doc...all good
To me, the biggest twist is figuring out the main character was black the entire time. Those wolverine sideburns really threw me off.
They tried to make him like a gooback with unspecified race
But then they just throw in his very black son there for no good reason
Isn't his wife black?
Sort of explains why the kid was black, cos of genetics and all that stuff.
@@peterclarke7240 I noticed they all are very black in the family picture
@@solmoman Genetics is fun like that.
@@peterclarke7240 Yeah they change when photographed
my theory is that historian just has really slow internet so it takes months for each video to be uploaded. today his internet was just at a normal speed
Man, this is nostalgic. I was way into both Suffering games when they came out. Hell, when I made this account back in 2006 I named it after what they called the monsters in the sequel.

A game's choices deciding the past rather than the future is a neat idea
I'd love to see you do videos for the FEAR series, seems like they would be right up your alley and theres a decent amount of story plot to go over.
That would be awesome!
I'm still mad that the original had such a bad controller experience
HL1 got proper support but FEAR couldn't?
Yes!!! One of the best games of all time
God, I love how upbeat and friendly you guys make Torque in this. Just the nicest guy, so eager to meet all his new companions and stuff. He's so happy for that other guy who got out before getting blocked by the cave in!
The real suffering was the journey we had together :D
I can’t wait for Storymode 2: Age of Oldstron, where the Storymode protagonists trapped in the Unlisted Dimension escape to fight the News.
I remember loving this game specially cause it's in Baltimore and I live there! Yea murder and crack! Seeing my first dead body in the street at 9 was amazing!
This went completely off the rails and is therefore the best video in the history of today.
Storymode's ending with The Suffering Extended Universe (SEU) was a masterpiece.
Oh wow, I loved this game when I was a kid. Contents about this game always gives me that good whiff of nostalgia.
The real Suffering is the friends we made along the way.
You know a video is gonna be great when the companies that made the game get the "It no longer exists" treatment in the intro.
Well this is a flashback to my angst years.
Obligatory: Ya know, all of the monsters are based on different execution in prisons hurrburrgablurrgal
You're playing a dangerous game putting Kingdom Hearts music in a series where you summarize the plots of video games, boys.
the crossover was amazing, 11/10 would watch repeatedly until the next one comes out
The cutscenes look like they're from the sims. Thank you for covering the games we always ignored at Game Stop in the 2000s! You gave us more fun from them than the games ever could.
I feel this comment.
oh, i definitely recommend playing it if you can. it's still one of the most terrifying games that i've played and i don't scare easily at all. it relies heavily on jump scares, but they mastered it in a way where it's not just BAM JUMPSCARE. the game fucks with your psyche hard rather than just ear raping you with loud noises. voice acting is also top notch. it's a shame that so few people know about _the suffering._
Check out The Suffering 2.
I remember playing the beginning of this at a friend's. We had the dilemma of inverted camera controls. For 3rd person I used inverted, as well for flying games, and for 1st person obviously normal.
But this game had 3rd and 1st person which some views were better in certain situations. But playing like this in hardest difficulty was frustrating. So I standardized my camera control to normal for 3rd and 1st person games.
You betrayed the inverted community. For shame
Magnificent story arc. You really nailed the character growth.
@@flappyturtlesnatch lol that reminded me that ad with gamer in real helicopters; one passing the control and turned out it was opposite of what 2nd player is used to 🤣🤣🤣
Storymode is quickly becoming my favorite channel of yours!
Genuinely had the most shit day in years today. This video made me laugh (as all of these always do) and really helped. Thanks 🤙🏽
Glad to see the storymodeverse coming together at the end
WHAT THE FUCK?! I LITERALLY JUST WATCHED A VIDEO ON THIS GAME!!
I love Huge Ackman! He’s my favorite of all the Sufferers
Yeah, watching this at work and trying not to laugh wasn't my best idea to date. I was almost taken out by "The SuffeRING." ☎
this video really felt like the endgame of storymode last episodes
I loved this game as a kid, lord knows the second was pretty bad. A lovely game of it’s time
I loved it cause it was set in Baltimore and nothing ever came here but horrible shit. Saw my first dead body in public at 9.....YAY!
Piss off ''der second one was bad hehe, sequelitis amrite guys??''
Oh god, there was a second one?
The second one wasn't necessarily bad if you view it as a stand alone title. The problem was rather that it didn't stand out enough to be considered a sequel. If it was released as a DLC package, it probably would've been received better.
@@legendoffupa dlc wasnt really a thing back then unless you're talking pc expansions
All I see with Torque is "Good Soldiers follow orders" whenever they use rhe still image of him. Even got a clone-like nickname to boot
I love your stuff guys! Thanks for covering this one, I always enjoy y'alls unique commentary lol
The end of this video really feels like a season finale
Really good and underrated game. Scared the shit out of me as a kid but still finished it three times for the three endings.
5:00 - "The suffeRING". Genius. That's some mad talent at writing (or improv, I don't know)
I love this game. Thank you so much for covering it!
I love this game thanks for reminding me about the Story .... Mode
7:55 - Loved the little nod in first person. Attention to detail, roleplay, perfect.
This is the best long reset of wow in my life, 2 videos of IH. Thank you, I love you so much. Thank you!
Wow.. you guys explained like about 10% of the game. There is soooooo much more here. One thing that is interesting is that if you start a new game after beating it you have a prolonged playable opening where you arrive. In it you become the beast, but no one seems to see it. So there is a theory that he doesn't actually physically transform.
I loved this game, it was so awful in the best way. Very Early Xbox 360, DX9 all-day every day!
For more context: this was like someone played Silent Hill, watched Shutter Island, and thought they were too subtle and boring.
I remember suggesting this game on a poll a while back. Thanks and I hope yous guys had fun making this one
2:42 When the big monster comes down, it’s the music from Folklore when you fight the Malabaricus.
The suffering was a game you see at blockbuster but never rented.
I don't remember the game being that bad you just like bandwagon hating
I'd love to see an attempt at one of these for Fear and Hunger and/or its sequel, if that's even possible.
Is fear and hunger that brutal rpg with the enemy that just has a huge dong for no reason?
@@frogblasttheventcore69 yeah I just learned about it recently, watched a couple breakdown videos on them and while the games are way too brutal to play personally the story and lore is really interesting.
@@HowdyHowdy_It'd be kinda hard seeing as the second game, Termina, confirms that around half of the potential endings of the first game are canon but not quite.
Specifically Ending S for D'arce, Ragnavaldr and Enki are confirmed canon but Cahara's S Ending might be canon due to the sword named Blue Sin appearing in his photo and it being a really powerful weapon in Termina.
Then there's Ending A but only to the part where the Girl transforms because she is still alive as the God of Fear and Hunger in the second game.
Then Ending B as Nas'rah is still around, just burnt and in the Magic Black Man (O'saa)'s pocket.
Then a lot more minor stuff like Moonless being alive, Pocketcat, etc.
The creativity on this guy.. is out of the charts! Sometimes I watch only for the ads. Can't youtube learn from them?
I love the Question Mark section, best part of the video
Torque and Turok both have a lot in common. Constantly falling asleep during crucial story missions, bisexual lighting... How deep does the rabbithole go?
Bisexual lighting, wot's dat m8?

It's a fun and chill game, about happiness and love, and laughter.
Not Nacy Drew at the end with that "haha". I died when that happened.
Also, this video has the funniest sponsored ad I have ever seen hahahah
Another video? That's awesome. Thanks for the content/effort, it's really appreciated. Your videos remind me of the dumb stuff/games I'd experience with friends when I was younger over Vent/Mumble.
Storymode is like Internet Historian - multidimensional philosopher wondering about matters mankind desperately needs answers for
Normalize watching entire videos before commenting.
Have you ever seen IH and Storymode in the same room before?
Dang! IH is killing it with the content both in quality and quantity
21:15 when i tell you I'm in stitches. This while sequence had been going for a min already
Gotta love all the little references to the past storymodes
Ah yes cutting the quality of current content for future content being released in 5,000 years, classic.
I'm so excited for this it's ridiculous. My FAVORITE game of that era and I never met anyone else who played it.
Same. Holds a special nostalgia still.
Prolly because of the name tbh
Honestly one of thee best episodes I've seen to date, the jokes, puns layers on layers just had me grinning ear from ear like a complete idiot for most of the video! Thanks >
I was not prepared for the Expleened lore mashup at the end! So glad I binged watched all this channels content recently 😮💨
The real suffering is waiting for more Storymode videos!
I hope someday they make a story mode of Deadly premonition
F.K. in the coffee!
These regular uploads are making my year!
You had me in the first half, but that closer, that closer floored me
Internet Historian finally explaining how we feel about waiting for the next main channel video
It's not the 30th or 31st end of a month, yet IH conglomerate has uploaded TWO videos a little over halfway through the month? Truly the most blessed timeline, not even needing the sponsors to crack the whip.
My God! It was all connected! Too bad the budgetary constrictions won't allow us to see that JED STONE was the real monster all along.
Ohh nice new video just what I needed thank you so much.
yes a childhood classic
haha 👩🦰🔍
Hello thank you for all your hard work making s tier YT videos! I used to not appreciate your work, but I’ve come around to it now
i frigging love this channel!
Civvie crossover when?
Am so happy you did this
Thank you for bringing back that Nancy Drew laugh. I needed that. "Ha ha".
3:11 - "Please! I have so much to live for!"
No, you don't! You're on the DEATH ROW.
des grosses barres comme toujours thank you
Thank you for doing the classics from my childhood!
5:20 Love the dead island music 😆
Perhaps the real suffering was the friends we made along the way.
Best crossover EVER. I never thought this videos could be even more fun! 😂
