Actually, it's called shotgunning. Correction: That's a specific method of consuming beer fast. Binging is more accurate... but less appropriate to the game.
@@brynion2117I mean, I would word them as “fakes” or “duds” or any other number of one-syllable words to describe fake bullets. Dummy isn’t the only term
@@brynion2117 Or, rather, 2 Blanks and 1 Dummy, cuz I don't think live rounds are actually live, more like a blank. You can still die from them, but with treatment it's much easier to survive, so…
Manly returning for the third time. The dealer presents the shotgun, but Manly holds up a hand, presenting the shotgun from his last win. "No thanks, I brought my own."
if anyones wondering why the dealer sometimes makes really stupid decisions (like at 2:38) it's bc if i remember correctly the AI doesn't keep track of which bullets are left and only actually knows the last bullet, so all other bullets are a 50/50 coin flip. so even if it's certain there's only live rounds are left, there's still a chance the dealer will shoot himself.
And I also recall a video that was recorded in a previous version that if the AI checks then drinks, it doesn't reset the 'knows the current bullet' flag, which IDK if it's currently fixed for that or not.
the only needle that stayed put was the straight one, it makes perfect sense. that's why arrows are a triangle, if's it's not straight, it's difficult to get out, it's just that the player pulled so hard to get it back out that they snapped off.
I personally find the dealer much creepier before he’s been shot. The smile unnerves me, to be excited to play a game of life and death is unimaginable. I wish after being shot each time, or after losing a round, his grin would grow wider and wider. Maybe at first he puts on the scary face facade, but as the game goes on he can’t contain his enjoyment anymore. Either way, great game and I’m very happy to see it updated! The burner phone especially is such a cool addition.
From what I have learned, the dealer supposedly cannot count remaining shells like the player can so even with 2 live rounds, the dealer may point the gun at himself, however he does know the last shell always and will use it accordingly. The AI in the double or nothing mode however is updated, so this may only be true for regular mode.
@@phantom-ri2tgyeah shooting yourself with the last shell doesn't make any difference since it goes on to the next loadout with the player going first no matter what (except when handcuffed), I think the only thing that matters about knowing the last shell is deciding whether or not you should use an item, like the handsaw

@@Vee_Sheep I don’t think there’s any real lore here, but I do believe that the dealer is a loose metaphor for addiction and how it kills you. You keep coming to nightclub to smoke, slam back beer, take expired drugs with the new update, and play some good old Russian roulette. The dealer, no matter how many times you shoot him, he’s fine. He doesn’t cheat, he plays fair. He doesn’t have to cheat. Sooner or later, you’re eating that buckshot.
@@Vee_Sheep well, I know that you don't pay attention to details the OG game had the bloodied contract of 'god' meaning he lost, when you try to put the name 'god' you get the steam achievement 'deicide'. You notice that the dealer don't need the defibrillators, he don't need to use the items either he breaks the lupe but don't see the gun, he breaks the phone and the other items but still uses them, he breaks free from the shackles easily, and he cuts the gun with the knife in a single slice instead of sewing it because it's metal. And even when he supposedly dies for good you can still see his glowing eyes. Also the ending you get when you lose. These details all show it's not just a random game, but that there's something else in it
I think most people miss this: The reason it cuts on the last two bolts is because you can only do two damage at a time, at most. A shot can get you down to either the last or second-to-last, but not beyond that. That's the point where they cut the line, meaning even a single shot ends you, regardless of how many bolts there were before. It's just a way to keep the endgame clearly incremented from the rest of the round.
It's because the bolts just note how many charges of defibrillator you have so when the cables are cut it doesn't work anymore. The problem people have is they treat the charges like extra lives but that's not what it actually is, it's how many times they will bring you back and the cut lines mean they won't do that anymore.
12:48 The cigarette *after* knife from the Dealer is really cruel, because you see him prep the gun to shoot and then he gets to enjoy a calming drag while you're bracing yourself to get hit in the face with a sawn-off shotgun. 😂
It's a neat game. I think the idea of real people competing for high scores with double or nothing to be a funny concept. Adds another layer to the gamble.
Holy shit, imagine being in world record territory but because you got too greedy with one extra round and you ended up losing it you just lose the entire streak Actually peak
What a coincidence. Did a full run in one go. Super awesome game. The new items are very nice and complete the gameplay loop. I love it when the dealer consumed some pills at 1 health and then died. Peak cinema.
Reminds me of Manly’s first video on this where the dealer slammed 3 beers then shot himself with a guaranteed live round. I think it was the final round too…
23:16 The pills are called Quaaludes, they're known as a "hypnotic sedative". They've been illegal since the 80's. Not sure if that's important or not, but the more ya know😅
We used to have cigarette commercials, the guy used to say, "I'd walk a mile for a Camel", well let me tell all you young people out there, the big man would walk 20 miles for a QUAALUDE. I WOULD GET A COUPLE OF 'EM F*CKIN' LEMONS.
Given this information, and the way the monitor looks, this could actually lead into when the game is set as well as the further story behind the game itself.
Also, the same company that made the monitor (22:59) was also the one that made the expired medicine (24:02), so the name KONI definitely has some prevalence in this universe.
I've also noticed that there seems to be only one other person there with you: the one who operates the defibrillator (they can be seen when you lose on a round that isn't the final one). On top of this, when you defeat the dealer, their eyes glow red. My theory about this is that the dealer is some sort of machine hybrid, which is why they have not only played the game against God and have won, but also why there is so little human interaction outside of the man when revives you: this entire game is automated. Could it be that KONI are the ones orchestrating this whole thing? Who knows.
30:56 I might be giving the dealer a little to much credit but I think the reason why he took manly’s meds is so if he succeeds in shooting him with double so manly can’t use the meds
Beer is actually strategically very different from the magnifying glass! If you know there are 2 live rounds left, you can pop a beer to get rid of one and skip the dealer's counterattack before shooting him. And, unlike the handcuffs, it doesn't have a one-per-turn limit, meaning if there are THREE live rounds left, you can handcuff, beer, and shoot twice! Measured individually, the handcuffs are always better--but in combination with other items, the beer isn't necessarily worse.
If the phone's attached to the ARG, Maybe if you use it on the last shell? Possibly give you an "alternate" fortune if it cant tell you what a future shell is.
@@tazzytime There's an email on the bootup screen, that is email-able and connected to a website with a phone number. We have a lot of leads but no actual progress...
This was so cool! Though, I don’t know if anyone else mentioned it, but the Double-Or-Nothing pills said “May impair your ability to drive” and I really thought the ‘nothing’ part of it was Manly crashing the car at the end XD But still cool!
This is one of those rare games where the atmosphere, setting sound track and gameplay are all amazing (especially the soundtrack.) Really like the new items especially the inverter and adrenaline.
Burner phone in the last round actually guaranteed you the winning shot since you were already on the fourth shell. The new items are really cool, I like how most of them are only good situationally. Well, except for Adrenaline which is just straight up OP since it really has no downside and allows you to steal a winning condition from the enemy like the knife or magnifying glass.
I think that they should've made it so that you COULD steal the other person's adrenaline, but you would take damage for doing so and don't actually get to steal another item (Like you overdosed basically). Instead of now where it just doesn't let you do that.
I think the beer's got its niche. Unlike the magnifying glass or the handcuffs, it lets you rack a round without shooting it, meaning it can stack. I mean, you literally racked three lives in a row with it, you'd only be able to get through two with the handcuffs, and then you'd have gotten sawed off and handcuffed by the dealer, possibly losing three life instead of the one you lost that round. Even with the new items, beer's still the only one that stacks. Speaking of which, though, the new items are really smartly designed; As ya said, 3/5 original items basically did the same thing in slightly different ways. Which isn't bad, but it a little shallow. The new items though completely transform the game; Adrenaline forces you to be more aggressive with your non-beer items, Polarity shift lets you take a shot without moving the shells *or* lets you rack (still unable to stack tho, beer's still got it), the pills are just funny and help dilute the problem of Cigarette spam by punishing it, and the burner phone just turns it into a completely different game, basically, *especially* since its the only hidden info between you and the dealer in the game.
Beer very much is it's own thing. Handcuffs let you get a free turn but beer lets you lower the odds of the shells while it's your turn without taking a turn.
The inverter is just another layer of gamble if you feel lucky, or if used in tandem with other items (especially the magnifier) become a surefire way to land a hit (or two).
@elgatochurro Not if you have an inverter with it. The only gamble is the 50/50 chance of dialing it. The damage is confirmed. Though of course glass by itself is a gamble. I only use it if it’s 50/50 live/blank, or if I got an inverter.
Yeah, in the Double or Nothing mode, the best strategy is to not let the Dealer touch the shotgun at all, the beer is a good way of lowering the chance of the Dealer comboing your healt away.
i feel like this could be a very easy to design Table Top game. it wouldn't be hard to adjust for the Gun is a deck of cards with Live and Blank bullets Decide who goes first at random, after each round, turn order resets and starts with the person to the Priority player's left (Supporting 3+ players) only idea that would need to change is the Burner Phone, it would have to change to either "Look at Bottom Card" or "Look at Top card, and put it back anywhere in the deck"
I'd really like to see the ARG leading to some harder, secret roulettes, with more items and modified rules. This has potential to turn into something like FNAF, in terms of complexity.
This game is really cool, from the graphic to the little mysteries that are in the game, like the "God" signed paper. It's just really well done. Also, sorry if my English isn't perfect but it isn't my first language and sometimes I don't know how to write phrases correctly. Hope that I didn't say anything confusing!
I've been hoping this game would get some sort of revamp or addition to it! I'm in love with the simple yet tense concept. Glad we can watch you play it, Manly!
The soundtrack of this game is a highly important part of what makes the experience feeling authentic and consistent. This is one of those loops that are very simple but incredibly well composed. The composer tried to evoke an ambience and they completely nailed it 100%. This is the kind of experience that could cost a lot more money than it actually costs

in real life sawn off shotguns are illegal because they are much much more deadly. if you own a shotgun that's fine but if you saw of the barrel like in the game it instantly becomes an illegal weapon
@@dullededge1395 it's true that it's illegal but it is not deadlier. Shorter barrel means the pellets come out at a slower velocity and have a wider spread, so that the target usually catches less pellets, and the pellets themselves are slower moving. I guess it becomes deadlier in a crowded room but that's about it. Mostly it just makes it concealable, which is the real reason it's illegal. You wouldn't conceal carry a shotgun for personal defense because it carries a much higher risk of harming innocent bystanders. The only real reason to want a concealed shotgun is to commit a crime with it.
@@dullededge1395 sawed-off shotguns are illegal in the USA because of the National Firearms Act of 1934, which was specifically targeting guns usually used in crimes and no where else. Historically, shotguns are for hunting. Sawing off your shotgun makes it worse at hunting game, but easier to conceal. As far as the government is concerned, if you're trying to make a gun easier to conceal you're likely attempting to commit a crime. Now, you can still saw off your own shotgun to a point without it being illegal, but shortening the barrel past a certain point and you have to get a permit from the ATF.
I like the club music in this game...sounds like a banger. Low-Mid dB deaf though so it's not the clearest, loudest, fullest sounding thing ever but heck nothing I can do about that. Just wanted to say I appreciate you be around here on TH-cam and I wish you success for however long you want to do this :) EDIT: I could use a fraction of those winnings...god knows I'm gonna be homeless next month if I can't find a new job.
@@jeb-the-doomed i believe it's coming April 16th, iirc the steam page mentioned an update coming on April 16th so i can only assume thats multiplayer
Beer also can help to reduce chance of dealer shoot you. Example if it has 2 guarantee live ammo, you can use beer to make sure it doesn't shoot you after you shoot him
Can we just appreciate the smugness at 12:37? He sees what's in the shotgun, saws the barrel off so you know what's coming, and THEN takes the time to smoke a cigarette to make you wait for it a little longer lol
24:02 It would be really cool, if the prescription is based on the number of life shells then blank shells, in the shotgun ( I said this in another video, and yes I did copy and paste ) Like if theirs… 2 live, 2 blank Theirs and 50/50 percent chance that it will or will not work So if theirs 3 live, 2 blank There will be a 60% chance that it will work and 40% it will not work. So if there’s more life shells, then blank shells. You will have a higher chance of the prescription working, and this can be a good way to make the situation to be in your favour, Whenever the situation calls for it, and there’s still that added luck
Something that kind of bugged me is that the empty shells are called "blanks" when a blank round still has a primer and powder but the projectile is removed. A blank round still causes the gun to "fire" but there's just no tip in the shell, maybe it's different for shotguns and it's a small detail anyway.
Nope. In fact shotguns are probably more dangerous as having a blank they are probably loaded with a filler wad that takes the place of the shell. Therefore still sending a piece of plastic at mach 1. Or full of extra powder. Meaning more powder blast.
I love Manly's instant karma for calling the beer a worse magnifying glass. Meanwhile he could have used it to just remove a live round when there were the 3 live rounds causing him to take guaranteed a double sawn-off shot.
I would argue the beer can be stronger then the magnifying glass depending on what you are dealing with. Imagine this situation: You have one life. Dealer has two. Two shots left, both live. You a beer. Your turn: If you shoot the dealer it's 1-1. Dealer shoots you back you lose. With the beer: You beer, eject one live round. You shoot the dealer 1-1, now a new round starts and you have a chance to win. Another situation: 1-2 again. This time you have 2 lives and 1 blank. This time you have the magnifying glass. You use the item, it's a blank. You eject, shoot the dealer and still lose. If it was a live you shoot the dealer and still you have a chance to lose. If you had a beer you can beer. It increases your overall odds of surviving the round if you pop out the live so the dealer can not shoot you back.
Yes in that specific scenario where you need to intentionally waste a live round the beer is stronger. thing is that is the only scenario it is stronger.
Now even blank rounds left in the shotgun are a risk because of the inverter. I had to chug a beer on a guaranteed live just so I could waste the blanks
I think that's a good point. When there are exactly 2 live rounds left, beer can be used to deny your opponent that last live round. And it's probably not too uncommon to get into a situation where there's only 2 live rounds left too. (Or with an inverter on enemy side, deplete the last 2 rounds.) Although I think the magnifying glass' big value is how easily you can use it with the saw. Being able to deal 2 dmg is just kinda OP in a game like this.
So people know A I wise dealer will always use items asap, only KNOWS the final shot unless they used the glass to check and if unknown flip a coin for what it does
About the dealer AI, there were some analysis on youtube, basically the dealer only knows what shell is on the chamber when its the last one, in every other situation he either uses items to make decisions or rolls a 50/50 to shoot the player or himself. Because the dealer cant count the amount of blank already ejected and compare to the initial amount, he will do stupid mistakes.
I think it would be interesting if they added a new shell color. Like imagine there being one yellow shell, where even if you see it with the spyglass you don’t know if it’s live or not.
I may be late, but I genuinely think that Manly enjoys thia game. It's so iconic, and he sounds happy! :) ... And to be honest I adore this game aswell, I even found inspiration for a game I'm making myself
If you’re struggling with polarity just imagine Magnets. Red is usually a north polarity (live round) and blue is a south polarity (blank) so just swap the colours (using the item) and attribute it to shotgun shells
I love the addition of the Adrenaline Injector. With that item, you get access to ALL items on the board during your turn, essentially doubling the amount of items you can use. Really OP
I think the game dev doesn't know what blanks actually are. They still have gun powder, they just don't have any slug in them. A blank going off right under your chin will very much mess you up. Maybe it'd be more appropriate to call them "duds" if they're just metal casings with no gun powder.
I think this could also just be a case of "Hollywood logic" or whatever you want to call it. "Blanks" sounds cooler than "duds" or "dummy shells" so that could be the reason.
I haven’t scrolled the comments, but I just now noticed that when you use the adrenaline shot, most of the needles disappear Which might be suggesting that either the needles subtract, OR they’re stuck in your body (I’m thinking the latter)
Hey, I'm part of the group trying to solve the ARG. Unfortunately despite finding the email, phone number and website we can't really seem to get further than that. I'm guessing with what manly said in this he was told to mention it so I would love to know if he was told any additional information that could help us now the game is released
2:37 - I honestly expected the Dealer to shoot Manly, thinking that the full release of the game would have fixed this issue. But looks like Manly's luck continues on forever.

We used to have cigarette commercials, the guy used to say, "I'd walk a mile for a Camel", well let me tell all you young people out there, the big man would walk 20 miles for a QUAALUDE. I WOULD GET A COUPLE OF 'EM F*CKIN' LEMONS.
Given this information, and the way the monitor looks, this could actually lead into when the game is set as well as the further story behind the game itself.
Also, the same company that made the monitor (22:59) was also the one that made the expired medicine (24:02), so the name KONI definitely has some prevalence in this universe.
I've also noticed that there seems to be only one other person there with you: the one who operates the defibrillator (they can be seen when you lose on a round that isn't the final one). On top of this, when you defeat the dealer, their eyes glow red. My theory about this is that the dealer is some sort of machine hybrid, which is why they have not only played the game against God and have won, but also why there is so little human interaction outside of the man when revives you: this entire game is automated. Could it be that KONI are the ones orchestrating this whole thing? Who knows.
@@shadowrift15by the way, each use of defiblirator costs 2000$, as it shows in result screen.
It's silly, but I just love how *CRISP* the sound-effect of racking a new shell is.
Same, It sounds like biting into a fresh apple
I love all of the sounds! Great design
30:56 I might be giving the dealer a little to much credit but I think the reason why he took manly’s meds is so if he succeeds in shooting him with double so manly can’t use the meds
I do the same exact thing lmao. If he's low on health, has adrenaline and I have full health with meds or cigs, I'm taking them to prevent a heal
Beer is actually strategically very different from the magnifying glass! If you know there are 2 live rounds left, you can pop a beer to get rid of one and skip the dealer's counterattack before shooting him. And, unlike the handcuffs, it doesn't have a one-per-turn limit, meaning if there are THREE live rounds left, you can handcuff, beer, and shoot twice! Measured individually, the handcuffs are always better--but in combination with other items, the beer isn't necessarily worse.
If the phone's attached to the ARG, Maybe if you use it on the last shell? Possibly give you an "alternate" fortune if it cant tell you what a future shell is.
it simply says "how unfortunate" on the last shell
If the burner phone is attached to the ARG, then the clues are in the patterns that flash on the screen.
@@somethingsomething1395 Ah well, I guess it's gonna have to start someone more esoteric then.
@@atynoampharos2201 On the computer there's a number grid. I'm pretty certain decoding that is the start of the ARG
@@tazzytime There's an email on the bootup screen, that is email-able and connected to a website with a phone number. We have a lot of leads but no actual progress...
30:55 I love how the dealer uses the adrenaline. It's perfect.
The dealer's alternate use for objects is always on point :')
@@NWolfsson The way he bashes the Inverter is hilarious.
He's just like: "WORK, YOU PIECE OF JUNK."
Yeet
Personally for me it is the saw
He basically goes saw? More like knife.
I feel like with the eratic behavior the Player shows with the items, he should've been the one to bash the inverter while Dealer dials it
This was so cool! Though, I don’t know if anyone else mentioned it, but the Double-Or-Nothing pills said “May impair your ability to drive” and I really thought the ‘nothing’ part of it was Manly crashing the car at the end XD But still cool!
I am so happy that a Mike Klubinka game got a steam release. I love their games and I always thought that they have very interesting ideas.
They have some of their other games on steam as well under the game “Unsorted horror” it’s all great!
This is one of those rare games where the atmosphere, setting sound track and gameplay are all amazing (especially the soundtrack.) Really like the new items especially the inverter and adrenaline.
the sound track is less music..and more what remains of "music" at 2am after a night out.
@@lotus_flower2000 excellent description!
0:41 “It still hasn’t gotten any funnier, you know-and since we’re both playing with a loaded shotgun, that means something.”
I dont get it
Burner phone in the last round actually guaranteed you the winning shot since you were already on the fourth shell.
The new items are really cool, I like how most of them are only good situationally. Well, except for Adrenaline which is just straight up OP since it really has no downside and allows you to steal a winning condition from the enemy like the knife or magnifying glass.
yeah i think it should have a 50/50 chance to do damage or something like that depending on what the dev/devs think
I think that they should've made it so that you COULD steal the other person's adrenaline, but you would take damage for doing so and don't actually get to steal another item (Like you overdosed basically). Instead of now where it just doesn't let you do that.
I think the beer's got its niche. Unlike the magnifying glass or the handcuffs, it lets you rack a round without shooting it, meaning it can stack. I mean, you literally racked three lives in a row with it, you'd only be able to get through two with the handcuffs, and then you'd have gotten sawed off and handcuffed by the dealer, possibly losing three life instead of the one you lost that round.
Even with the new items, beer's still the only one that stacks.
Speaking of which, though, the new items are really smartly designed; As ya said, 3/5 original items basically did the same thing in slightly different ways. Which isn't bad, but it a little shallow.
The new items though completely transform the game; Adrenaline forces you to be more aggressive with your non-beer items, Polarity shift lets you take a shot without moving the shells *or* lets you rack (still unable to stack tho, beer's still got it), the pills are just funny and help dilute the problem of Cigarette spam by punishing it, and the burner phone just turns it into a completely different game, basically, *especially* since its the only hidden info between you and the dealer in the game.
Beer very much is it's own thing. Handcuffs let you get a free turn but beer lets you lower the odds of the shells while it's your turn without taking a turn.
The inverter is just another layer of gamble if you feel lucky, or if used in tandem with other items (especially the magnifier) become a surefire way to land a hit (or two).
@@vanzeralltheway8638 wrong, the magnifying glass just tells you the next shot.
Using the glass itself is a gamble.
@elgatochurro
Not if you have an inverter with it.
The only gamble is the 50/50 chance of dialing it.
The damage is confirmed.
Though of course glass by itself is a gamble.
I only use it if it’s 50/50 live/blank, or if I got an inverter.
Yeah, in the Double or Nothing mode, the best strategy is to not let the Dealer touch the shotgun at all, the beer is a good way of lowering the chance of the Dealer comboing your healt away.
I keep hearing the coin toss sfx in limbus company when the dealer is using the knife. The brain rot is real.
LIMBUS COMPANY MENTIONED 🥶🥶🥶🥶🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yo! Project Moon brainrot!
the brainrot is real
Oh god, I hear it as well
The Odyssey had a purpose
i feel like this could be a very easy to design Table Top game. it wouldn't be hard to adjust for
the Gun is a deck of cards with Live and Blank bullets
Decide who goes first at random, after each round, turn order resets and starts with the person to the Priority player's left (Supporting 3+ players)
only idea that would need to change is the Burner Phone, it would have to change to either "Look at Bottom Card" or "Look at Top card, and put it back anywhere in the deck"
wouldent this basicly be a simplifed version of exploding kittens?
@@simonsoupshark8009 lol you are right.
There is a 4 player mod in the Tabletop Simulator workshop
@@simonsoupshark8009 basically, just reskin all of the cards from exploding kittens to assets from this game
if you pay attention to the burner phone, the time is 1:42 (id assume AM), and the date is friday, august 21st, 1998
full respect for you bro
Edit: the way he said "See you in hell." was to damn good
Only now did I realise that the shotgun actually trembles in the players hand
I'd really like to see the ARG leading to some harder, secret roulettes, with more items and modified rules.
This has potential to turn into something like FNAF, in terms of complexity.
Still can't get over how the dealer popped 2 smoke and drank 3 beers, then shot himself in the face.
😂 yeah the AI in this game is questionable sometimes. I hope a update will fix it
@@jeremyhall2727 i hope not that was a power move.
@@Acirclee 😂 ok ok 😅
This game is really cool, from the graphic to the little mysteries that are in the game, like the "God" signed paper. It's just really well done.
Also, sorry if my English isn't perfect but it isn't my first language and sometimes I don't know how to write phrases correctly. Hope that I didn't say anything confusing!
Your English is good! And I agree, everything about this game is amazing and cool ❤
@@snowparody Thank you! I am happy to see that there are a lot of other people who enjoy this genre of games ☺️
me: about to go for a drive
the intrusive thoughts in my head: 9:03
relatable
I've been hoping this game would get some sort of revamp or addition to it! I'm in love with the simple yet tense concept.
Glad we can watch you play it, Manly!
The soundtrack of this game is a highly important part of what makes the experience feeling authentic and consistent. This is one of those loops that are very simple but incredibly well composed. The composer tried to evoke an ambience and they completely nailed it 100%. This is the kind of experience that could cost a lot more money than it actually costs
wait your previous episode wasn't the full game? damn since the full release is out this game is gonna be on fire now.
It was, but the Steam version has more content
The dealer shooting himself like he was BLOWN AWAY at how bad your luck was
Man i love the animation of Dealer when he uses the knife 🗿
this guy plays the most interesting and not well known games that i never see anyone play. and he’s a calm player unlike most who has his amount of subscribers that edit too much and play loudly ‼️ this guy is a real walking W
It just occurred to me how silly the sawing off doing double damage is.
yeah, real sawed-off shotguns are considerably worse damage-wise
in real life sawn off shotguns are illegal because they are much much more deadly. if you own a shotgun that's fine but if you saw of the barrel like in the game it instantly becomes an illegal weapon
@@dullededge1395 it's true that it's illegal but it is not deadlier. Shorter barrel means the pellets come out at a slower velocity and have a wider spread, so that the target usually catches less pellets, and the pellets themselves are slower moving. I guess it becomes deadlier in a crowded room but that's about it. Mostly it just makes it concealable, which is the real reason it's illegal. You wouldn't conceal carry a shotgun for personal defense because it carries a much higher risk of harming innocent bystanders. The only real reason to want a concealed shotgun is to commit a crime with it.
@@dullededge1395 sawed-off shotguns are illegal in the USA because of the National Firearms Act of 1934, which was specifically targeting guns usually used in crimes and no where else. Historically, shotguns are for hunting. Sawing off your shotgun makes it worse at hunting game, but easier to conceal. As far as the government is concerned, if you're trying to make a gun easier to conceal you're likely attempting to commit a crime. Now, you can still saw off your own shotgun to a point without it being illegal, but shortening the barrel past a certain point and you have to get a permit from the ATF.
@@plaguepandemic5651 maybe deadly was the wrong word dangerous might be more accurate
The art design low key goes hard
I like the club music in this game...sounds like a banger. Low-Mid dB deaf though so it's not the clearest, loudest, fullest sounding thing ever but heck nothing I can do about that. Just wanted to say I appreciate you be around here on TH-cam and I wish you success for however long you want to do this :) EDIT: I could use a fraction of those winnings...god knows I'm gonna be homeless next month if I can't find a new job.
Praise the LORD the full game is out!!!! Still really hope there’s a multiplayer version soon
Checked the steam page and it says multiplayer is coming soon.
God died in the Game though 😂
@@jeb-the-doomed i believe it's coming April 16th, iirc the steam page mentioned an update coming on April 16th so i can only assume thats multiplayer
Ngl I thought the game was fully released this whole time, nice to see there's more tho
Commitment and a down-to-earth attitude are truly inspiring. Keep it up!
there should be an online mode, imagine how fun it would be to play against a friend or random
They are working on it
@@VaclavRytina awesome
@@VaclavRytina HAYATO
Beer also can help to reduce chance of dealer shoot you.
Example if it has 2 guarantee live ammo, you can use beer to make sure it doesn't shoot you after you shoot him
Can we just appreciate the smugness at 12:37? He sees what's in the shotgun, saws the barrel off so you know what's coming, and THEN takes the time to smoke a cigarette to make you wait for it a little longer lol
"Thats a live one right there"
BANG!
Perfect timing as always.
24:02
It would be really cool, if the prescription is based on the number of life shells then blank shells, in the shotgun
( I said this in another video, and yes I did copy and paste )
Like if theirs…
2 live, 2 blank
Theirs and 50/50 percent chance that it will or will not work
So if theirs
3 live, 2 blank
There will be a 60% chance that it will work and 40% it will not work.
So if there’s more life shells, then blank shells. You will have a higher chance of the prescription working, and this can be a good way to make the situation to be in your favour,
Whenever the situation calls for it, and there’s still that added luck
I think Manly was really waiting for this one!
Something that kind of bugged me is that the empty shells are called "blanks" when a blank round still has a primer and powder but the projectile is removed.
A blank round still causes the gun to "fire" but there's just no tip in the shell, maybe it's different for shotguns and it's a small detail anyway.
Nope. In fact shotguns are probably more dangerous as having a blank they are probably loaded with a filler wad that takes the place of the shell. Therefore still sending a piece of plastic at mach 1. Or full of extra powder. Meaning more powder blast.
I love Manly's instant karma for calling the beer a worse magnifying glass. Meanwhile he could have used it to just remove a live round when there were the 3 live rounds causing him to take guaranteed a double sawn-off shot.
I would argue the beer can be stronger then the magnifying glass depending on what you are dealing with.
Imagine this situation: You have one life. Dealer has two. Two shots left, both live. You a beer.
Your turn: If you shoot the dealer it's 1-1. Dealer shoots you back you lose.
With the beer: You beer, eject one live round. You shoot the dealer 1-1, now a new round starts and you have a chance to win.
Another situation:
1-2 again. This time you have 2 lives and 1 blank. This time you have the magnifying glass.
You use the item, it's a blank. You eject, shoot the dealer and still lose. If it was a live you shoot the dealer and still you have a chance to lose.
If you had a beer you can beer. It increases your overall odds of surviving the round if you pop out the live so the dealer can not shoot you back.
Yes in that specific scenario where you need to intentionally waste a live round the beer is stronger. thing is that is the only scenario it is stronger.
The new items also give it more uses
Now even blank rounds left in the shotgun are a risk because of the inverter. I had to chug a beer on a guaranteed live just so I could waste the blanks
I think that's a good point. When there are exactly 2 live rounds left, beer can be used to deny your opponent that last live round. And it's probably not too uncommon to get into a situation where there's only 2 live rounds left too. (Or with an inverter on enemy side, deplete the last 2 rounds.)
Although I think the magnifying glass' big value is how easily you can use it with the saw. Being able to deal 2 dmg is just kinda OP in a game like this.
@@aquablast3155 not really especially with the heals it balances out and stops the game from being too long
I love the special sound effect when you reveal a live round in sudden death. Honestly, the music and audio changes for the full version are amazing.
11:33 the way he said smoke made me chuckle
19:54 bro tried to give up and failed
So people know
A I wise dealer will always use items asap, only KNOWS the final shot unless they used the glass to check and if unknown flip a coin for what it does
THERE'S MORE??? I am beyond excited
About the dealer AI, there were some analysis on youtube, basically the dealer only knows what shell is on the chamber when its the last one, in every other situation he either uses items to make decisions or rolls a 50/50 to shoot the player or himself.
Because the dealer cant count the amount of blank already ejected and compare to the initial amount, he will do stupid mistakes.
I think it would be interesting if they added a new shell color. Like imagine there being one yellow shell, where even if you see it with the spyglass you don’t know if it’s live or not.
there's a mod that does exactly that called the mystery shell mod
2:38 the moment of disaster
6:31
Jeez, the dealer doesn't care about his life but he cares about the reward
Thanks!
Reloaded and Ready.
the A.I demon and the doorkicker protag are back. Yeii!
I’m really excited to see what’s been added! I wonder if there’s new songs added in the soundtrack bc they’re all bangers
I may be late, but I genuinely think that Manly enjoys thia game. It's so iconic, and he sounds happy! :)
... And to be honest I adore this game aswell, I even found inspiration for a game I'm making myself
If you’re struggling with polarity just imagine Magnets. Red is usually a north polarity (live round) and blue is a south polarity (blank) so just swap the colours (using the item) and attribute it to shotgun shells
I’m glad this actually made it to steam and became a full game! Also, you are truly badass.
Never thought I'd see a Future Diary reference in 2024.
Some epic last words lines in there... "That's a live one right there." 😆
Ah yes, "polarity" is what determines whether a shot is a live round or a blank.
Magnets, how do they work?
I love the addition of the Adrenaline Injector. With that item, you get access to ALL items on the board during your turn, essentially doubling the amount of items you can use. Really OP
Two videos in one day thank you manly 💜💜
I think the game dev doesn't know what blanks actually are. They still have gun powder, they just don't have any slug in them. A blank going off right under your chin will very much mess you up. Maybe it'd be more appropriate to call them "duds" if they're just metal casings with no gun powder.
They are actually called "dummy shells" tho
I think this could also just be a case of "Hollywood logic" or whatever you want to call it. "Blanks" sounds cooler than "duds" or "dummy shells" so that could be the reason.
An idea that I had for an item was a lever to make the shotgun into a lever action to fire 2 shells in quick succession
Sawed-off Lever Buckshot.
Dude, that'd break the game, especially in the third stage.
@twincreex, it works for something like if you used a revolver
@@Shionoid I thought about that. I was thinking of it as a more common sidegrade to the sawed off that can't be combined
Gotta love the fact that manly almost put his name as god unconsciously at 0:42
Really enjoyed the last two videos on this game. I’m hyped for this !
Should have a difficulty selection.
Normal (dealer does not understand probability)
Hard (dealer has a degree in statistics)
I want the updated version to be playable in vrchat now. the earlier version was amazing
This would be a hilarious game to play against people in VR chat with.
@bluephoenix7565 it said multi-player coming soon so buckle your seat people
@@bluephoenix7565 that's what you do in vrchat already
the beer has it's own use too, magnifying glass pairs well with the handcuffs to not waste turns
manly caling the magnifying glass "binoculars" is so funny to me
its so cool to see you playing this again!! i love your content
20:30
This was an overkill, Manly
I haven’t scrolled the comments, but I just now noticed that when you use the adrenaline shot, most of the needles disappear
Which might be suggesting that either the needles subtract, OR they’re stuck in your body (I’m thinking the latter)
It's about time!
I love the fact that the double or nothing drug is Quaaludes.
😂
Apparently Slay the Princess got an update with a bunch of new content too. Love to see games getting attention even after launch.
thank you manlybadasscereal for this dopamine release
much needed
Hey, I'm part of the group trying to solve the ARG. Unfortunately despite finding the email, phone number and website we can't really seem to get further than that. I'm guessing with what manly said in this he was told to mention it so I would love to know if he was told any additional information that could help us now the game is released
2:37 - I honestly expected the Dealer to shoot Manly, thinking that the full release of the game would have fixed this issue. But looks like Manly's luck continues on forever.
I love manly's vids. They make my day more interesting.
Keep it up Manly!
3:32 As a person who comes from a country where Spanish is spoken, that "adios" was the cleanest I have ever heard.
Manly calling the magnifying glass “binoculars” was the worst part of this video
did you see the video where the guy kept calling the handcuffs a chainsaw
@@waffler-yz3gw
handcuffs have chains
hand saw is an item that has hand in it
therefore, chainsaw
this is the only line of thought that I can imagine went into handcuffs being called a chainsaw
