- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 มิ.ย. 2024
- As an Oil Rig strikes what appears to just be a gas pocket, they begin to understand quite quickly, this is much worse than they could have imagined. Shortly after falling off the Rig, Caz wakes back up having been dragged back on to the platform by coworkers, to find that everyone around him is changing. As his coworkers are picked of one by one, monsters begin forming quite quickly. But the question is, how exactly is this happening to everyone and what did they hit? Lets discuss that in todays episode!

Sir Roanoke, I found a guy with that specific brand/model of muscle car you like whose name escapes me right now and they're trying to put nissan parts in it because it'll be cheaper to restore. Permission to destroy?

Could be worse.
The setting of a 1970s Scottish Oil Rig goes insanely hard for a John Carpenter style horror game
It’s obviously heavily inspired by The Thing, the GOAT of horror films
Carpenter's version of The Thing was the first true on-screen cosmic body horror film. Glad it's still seen as a top horror film if not THE (it certainly is for me!).
If you go to the designer's website, you can read this game literally began as 'The Thing on a ship', with the ship being later replaced by an oil rig
@@phyrr2I need more!!! We've gone too long without touching that franchise
So "Who Goes There?" inspired The Thing From Another World, which in turn inspired John Carpenter's The Thing, then Still Wakes The Deep was inspired by that. Interesting.
Commercial Diver here. Bends don’t necessarily hurt, thats the problem. From my experience its either growing numbness, or searing pain.
Hes would also be freaking out because it can cause long term damage to pretty much everything if it isn’t treated very quickly by hyperbaric recompression.
Cool, are you a welder too? Ever work on Oil Rigs? My step grandpa used to tell me stories the divers told him in Australia about GW sharks! They were so bad ass they would just hit the sharks and they would go away as they were just interested in the welding.
The stories I’ve heard sound agonizing. I’ve heard of death happening in as little as 3 mins. I’ve always pictured someone’s brain exploding like a shaken up can of soda.
@@jamesc8722 More like your blood turning to foam.
@@flare9757 Better put. A little off topic but are you familiar with Edd Sorenson? He is the G.O.A.T. Of cave rescue divers. He has some pretty harrowing stories about his dives if you are interested.
I'd say he's freaking out because of the eldritch abomination trying to attach itself to him

"yeah thatll do"
I feel you, I like going through my mundane tasks whilst watching these vids.
Especially when your ironically eating a meat based meal like steak or chicken 😂
Eating Cheesy Alfredo rn, regret nothing
Gibbo wasn't just anybody, he was the first infected. If you talk to Roper at the start of the game, he and Gibbo are by the drill. Further, Gibbo calls Rennick when you're in the office with him and is the one saying there's something messing with the drill. About 15 seconds later, the rig shakes and rumbles as the entity is awoken
Pretty sure the dude inside the bathy was the first to get infected, since he was the closest to the epicenter when the drill cracked open the Entity's shell.
@@the_furry_inside_your_walls639 i think it was Gibbo, but I guess timewise it could have been the guy in the bathysphere. But Gibbo was already infected in some manner by the time you come across Finlay for the first time after drowning
@@the_furry_inside_your_walls639 because that guy dove in to try and rescue the men who fell in. He wasn't already in the water
@@the_furry_inside_your_walls639get out of my walls! I can't hear myself think from your damnable scratching.
I think it’s either Gibbo or Raff, the rookie who got stuck in the diving bell. However Gibbo was probably the first to start infecting others, as Raff is still stuck in the bell when you get into engineering and meet Finlay, who tells you Gibbo’s not right in the head right now.
Remember folks, "Jesus must love ya. Everyone else thinks you're a c***."
Best line of the game by far.
I personally think that "You sit your arse in that chair you fucking liability!" is the best line in the game.
Nearly every line is a banger because of those accents
@@the_furry_inside_your_walls639 I’m so going to use that at work
@@the_furry_inside_your_walls639 Uncle Junior from the sopranos telling you to sit in the chair was the best scene honestly
That whole conversation is beautiful written, but that line definitely is the best in the game.
18:08 You forgot that if you talk to the other workers as you go to meet Rennick, they say the rigs running on a skeleton crew so probably half that or less.
Only enough to keep the rig afloat, the flare up, and the drill functioning. So yeah about less than half the original crew size.
"Flesh eating fungus"
Going to add that to the list of things that love to eat us alive...

Fun fact: coal comes from plants BEFORE the bacteria was formed that could eat plants. So all the coal that there is, is all that ever will be.
It's our fault for being tasty
"so what on your world sees you as food?"
"..yes."
This is unironically one of the best horror games I've ever gotten to experience. Not only do the scares hit and the tension is through the roof, but the story is freaking phenomenal. Terribly depressing but with a bittersweet ending that still leaves room for people to pull straws and theorize about.
Also, I'm glad you brought up the possibility that Rennick wasn't infected until after the heli crashed. So many people think that the heli crashing was referencing a similar scene in the Thing Prequel where one of the members on the heli turned out to be infected,. However, in the case of Still Wakes the Deep, I don't think anyone on the heli was infected. If anything, I think Archie, the pilot of the heli, saw Caz right as he was taking off, and when he was able to get the heli to turn around, he did just that. Rennick, in a fit of rage, tried to take control from Archie in an attempt to keep it from going back to the Rig. This would thus result in the heli obviously losing its balance in the air and crashing into the rig.
Good theory! Though I doubt we will ever know.
Personally I think Rennick was turning in the helicopter after Archie turned it around to go back for Caz.
And I don't think Rennick was fighting Archie for the controls as a normal human, because Rennick doesn't have the knowledge on how to fly such a heavy helicopter in the middle of the ocean, he's an absolute bastard yes, but he's not suicidal enough to try and take over a helicopter mid-flight without even having the knowledge on how to fly it. He's the kind of guy that would've just sat his arse down yelling his ''authority'' the whole way to the rig, and then been pissy as heck the whole trip back to the mainland.
@@Mirvra but there would be no way he would be infected though, when the drill busted open and spread the stuff around it seems to dominate the legs, pontoons, lower deck and the main deck, but barely seen on the upper level, throughout the whole game, the only high structure affected is the rig's tower.
helipad and rennick's office was practically untouched by the entity, so unless he went down to check (which would be before his evacuation announcement, since he isn't aware of it when he made the first one), that would take a decently long time.
Judging from how fast it turns people, he would probably sound a little different or already turned by the time Caz reached the helipad, it's not wild to assume brodie pulled Caz out of the sea in around 5 minutes, not to mention the period where he's knocked out, in that time period dobbie completely turned and a good bit of the crew already turned to aquatic lasagna.
So it's either him being an ass or the storm being rough+180° turn from Archie that crashed the heli.
I'm with that that theory
That actually makes a lot more sense, especially given if Rennick was already turning, Archie probably would've tried to jump ship earlier, leading to the chopper crashing elsewhere on the rig.
Rennick only turning once off the chopper makes more sense too given we don't see any large holes on the chopper's fuselage, however the side door is unlatched making it more likely Rennick got out before changing and not the other way around.
To correct something a 5:56 trots says "My head is splitting" which is also mentioned by Caz [the player] when he gets near the stuff it gives him massive migraines and splitting headaches.
one of the more interesting things is when fixing the generator there is a key in the key box clearly with a giant tag on it different from the others labeled "Lab key".
For the lab key, oil rigs do actually have labs on them so they can take samples of the oil and test it to see what quality it is
@@AbysmalRapture Also, it's not uncommon to find dinosaur bones and artefacts buried in the ocean's floor among the debris. Some oil rigs employ paleontologists and archaeologists to catalogue items they find by accident.
@@SSD_Penumbra Thats actually cool asf.
@@AbysmalRaptureWhile this is something I pretty well understood, I really have to wonder why the Beira D has a research lab considering Rennick doesn't seem to be one to give two shits about reasearch, y'know?
Despite Gibbo saying something was going wrong with the drill op, Rennick ordered them to continue, not to mention he clearly cheaped out on the Rig's construction in many places (such as the lifeboats, or when he informs Caz that some doors can easily be busted open if kicked in the bottom right.)
It's pretty clear that Rennick cares more about profits than scientific reaserch, thus I am interested as to wether the lab on the Beira D played a much bigger role than implied.
@@clockwork3494 Nah, he'd probably want to know the oil is actually worth selling. Guy's a cheapskate, but he's still looking to increase his bottom line.
They just drilled into where anglerfish originated from…hell!

@@JudgeNicodemusIt’s always the plane snakes.
I think that the idea of this being some ancient life form originating from the bottom of the sea rather than some kind of alien species is honestly so much more terrifying. Although I suspect the developers did intend it to be an alien creature, but who knows. Great video.
Idk man, as you can see whatever that thing is makes small debris float like some kind of cosmic entity and besides ancient stuff were theorized to have come from space
Honestly, with how little we know about the bottom of the ocean, it might as well be alien, it's a *completely* different world down there, even compared to the rest of the ocean!
@@ericlamb4501 true, it's ironic that we are travelling in space but can't travel the Ocean easily
@@kishi7479 Both are literally the extreme opposite of each other, I'm sure we'll eventually figure out how to deal with all that pressure properly too, though I doubt we'd find anything actually good down there
Idk tbh.
Accidentally unleashing some ancient elderitch horror that's been hiding in the ocean or deep underground is always pretty terrifying.
I think it's definitely supposed to be Lovecraftian in nature, it's checks all the boxes.

I love how the subtitles translate the parts of the conversations that are Scottish slang for us normal people. This is one of those games that I really enjoyed watching someone play, but I don't think I'd play myself. I'm just not a fan of the walking simulator games but it had a pretty good story right up my ally.
"For us normal people"
@@stannisotk3530 I lost it reading that lol
It's true, as a scotsman I can tell you that we are the superior people, and the rest of you are....just normal. ;-)
(more seriously, the way the writing and performances were done is (outside of local scottish TV) some of the best I've seen in terms of catching the constant verbal abuse of your pals in scotland. "Alright Dave ya feckin knob, how you been?" "Better than you ya dappy cunt, looks like you ate a whole cow in the last couple of weeks and it all went to yer feckin belly"
Properly sounds like the sort of back and forth you'd hear in any scottish blue collar area.
theres i think both subs for the normal scottish slang like "its ropey down'ere" and not which i appriciate honestly
Weirdly enough, its the only walking sim game I've played myself, and it was actually a blast because of how well paced it was.
I really like how this game handles it's soft body tissue physics and how the creatures move around. It's done really really well
I always thought the "entity" was this eldritch deep sea thing, since they don't know what exactly they hit, and at the end, you can hear a heart beat, it has a heart beat, when they drilled into it, it reacted negatively, it is also very fiberous in its base state, only becoming bloby and fleshy when it comes into contact with other living creatures where it seems to act like a cancer, with there being extra hands and heads on some blobs. And there seems to be some mimiking of deep sea creatures, with Muir having crab legs, Addiar having more of a jellyfish body. The hallucinations that you experience are most likely the enitity trying to get you to leave, it WANTS you to leave so it can also get off, as finley states, "WE can't leave, but IT can" meaning it's hallucinations are meant to get you to want return to your loved ones so it can spread
It also is unable to revive already dead corpses, it wants them alive, which means that they are alive and "conscious" inside those blobs
Also it isn't an instant assimilation into the blobs, seeing how Caz does get grabbed by a tentacle at some point,
I am assuming is that whatever they dug into was alive, and it proceeded to instinctively grabbed the drill and whatever it was attached to, since the "main mind" is able to make its fibrous tendrils at the bink of an eye. I say it either grew at rapid pace or basically began to attack the drill until it was broken, but I think it got bigger due to the amount of minds that were assimilated into the hive mind. And when it comes to the minds of the victims, it seems that they don't know or think that they are the monsters that they truly are, you see it really well with Rennik and Muir, Rennik is still angry that you are still on his rig, and Muir keeps wondering why no one will help him and why everyone is trying to get away from him
Really this is a great take on the “entity” in this game, also something I’ve figured is that the rennik(monster) represents a blobfish, which also lives deep in the sea , and trots could represent that of a mermaid/merpeople(because correct me if I’m wrong but in some EU cultures they do talk about mermaid’s right?)
I saw a comment on one of your videos yesterday. It was the following;
“When we die and see a bright light, what if that bright light belongs to an intergalactic angler fish, attracting us towards it so it can consume our eternal soul.”
*Credit goes to ShiftySprinkles (the author of the aforementioned comment).*
So bring a shark knife with me to my grave. I'll show that angler fish who's boss.
Fun (totally not made up) fact. That's why ancient cultures would bury their dead with weapons or goods. It was either to battle the cosmic angler fish or barter for your soul.
@@Nezghoul92so what you're saying is that we all need to stay strapped or get clapped?
You're loved ones saying "come on home, we're here, waiting"
*Licks lips*
Remember: it cant eat you, if you eat it first.
Just a heads up. There weren't 120 people on the rig, It's mentioned in the game that the majority of them went home to spend the holidays with their families. The only people there are a skeleton crew of about 20 people.
18:01 The oil rig had a skeleton crew in the game most went home for the holidays
Think you nailed it. Also, yeah - Matrix should have REALLY gone with the "they're using our neurons" rather than "we're batteries when they obviously have fusion"
The humans as batteries part is there because some jerk in the C-Suite thought "If I can't understand the science, then nobody can. And I'm a billionaire, so obviously I'm a super-genius. I'll lose money if I don't insist on this change right now."

Dude, I'm so glad you covered this game!! I was watching IGP play it and thinking, "Roanoke NEEDS to cover this!" It reminded me so much of the Corruption in Dead Space!
I understand your fear of the angler fish. My phobia is cockroaches. I was remodeling a house as a summer job back in high school. While I was working on a section of the ceiling, it broke and I was COVERED IN ROACHES! They got in my hair, my clothes, I almost ate a few in my panic. I will not weep if we wipe roaches from existence.
Based on your conclusions, I'd have to say either it lives within the oil beneath the ground or, it could have existed on the surface of the seabed, which isn't exactly as barren as we think. The whole thing is just a mass of dead organisms. Yeah we could use it for something, but if we did it would massively disrupt the ecosystem of the seabed and we just don't know enough about it.
My point is, if the oil is organic based, perhaps it had simply subsumed that biomass. But if it did it would have choked itself out long ago. I think it was accessing the seabed and while it wasn't "rich" with life, had enough to sustain it. When the rig punched into the hole beneath, it erupted in food and quickly shot up the drill and (if it wasn't there already) down into the oil reservoir, providing it with the necessary biomass to grow like it did up the drill itself. Otherwise it doesn't explain where the fuel for that came from.
So I think based on that, it was living on the seabed, just wherever it could, either the drill released it or fed it, but either way it got hold of the tasty and ran with it.
Not a big thing, just thought you had a really interesting take on it.
Clicked on this so fast. Just watched a playthrough and thought it'd be so cool for Roanoke to cover it. Happy day!
YOOOOOOOO I was Not Expecting you to do it this quick THX SO much man.

There is just, no other youtube channel, that can answer these types of questions besides Roanoke Gaming. As a fellow scientist, also over analyzing every movie and game for how reality bending or possible a feared disease or mutation truly is; These videos are just so satisfying. It's as though I am looking under a microscope of someone else's research, as they explain their findings, and it is fabulous! Plus, the timing of the release of the game, to this analysis, was insanely quick! Instant gratification to say the least! I've only watched 3 youtubers play this game so far, and it is a 4-6 hour long play through, depending on how much time you take to stop and smell the roses, or amalgamations in this case.
I LOVE that as soon as I saw this title of the video I knew the anglerfish would be brought up and at 9:18 we didn’t even make it 10 mins it’s possibly the best reason for watching ur videos
just discovered the game yesterday through igp's channel so imagine my delight waking up today to find you doing a video on this game.
also anglerfish
Same, it's cool to see IGP play a game and then Roanoke drop a video on the things from said game.
There is a TV show called Surface that aired from 2005-2006. Unfortunately there's only one season of it, but I think there is enough information in that season that you could make a video about the main creature from the show. I find the concepts in the show fascinating and I thought it would be something right up Roanoke's ally.
i was praying you’d cover this, it’s so cool, thanks Roanoke!
This game was a trip. It's like "imagine if Junji Ito and Jeff VanderMeer made _The Thing_ and set it on Titan from _Destiny 2_ except the whole cast is from that funny country up north where my granny's from"
Also completely random fact: the actor who voiced Caz also voiced Adam Smasher 💀
18:10 damn those are big numbers, I'm surprised the editor could even write those values correctly
My pup passed away this past week and I dove DEEP into this game just to get my mind off of things and I absolutely loved this game, I immediately wanted to go reread my copy of Nick Cutter's The Deep to keep the vibe going.

The urge to play this game blind, but also the urge to support roanoke on a new video RIGHT NOW... Truly the hardest choices there's ever been.
I am SO glad you decided to do a video on this because this cosmic body horror shit had me trippin.
If you want to know, how many bodies it is: Cells for 140 bodies, it doubles every 10 minutes for 12 hours -> 140 x 2 ^72 bodies. It's around 660.000.000.000.000.000.000 bodies.
If it doubles just every 30 minutes, it's 140 bodies x 2^24, so close to 2.350.000.000 bodies, and if each weights around 80kg, it weights close to 190 million tons. That's around 140 - 170 big, blue whales. So I don't think, it splits every 10 minutes, but I can imagine, it's around 30 - 45 minutes. With 45 minutes, it still would weight around 750k tons, so it would have the size of 5 - 7 big, blue whales. 🤷♂
edit: for 12 hours
damn bro. respect
So this thing has the same problem as the creature in carrion, as in that amount of growth would generate so much heat that it would probably explode or evaporate within minutes.
You know what dangers lurk out there besides micro-organisms? ANGLER FISH. ANGLER FISH SHOULDNT EXIST
***EDIT: DAMMIT @Roanoke Gaming WHY DID YOU HAVE ONE PUT ON SCREEN?! I wanted to sleep tonight LMAO
Hey man just wanted to say I absolutely love the videos I get absolutely stoked when I see a new video released and I have watched almost every video and getting to the point I have to rewatch some videos because I've watched so many
As soon as I saw what the game was about I knew you would cover it. This game has all elements of good bio-horror.
Unrelated but my favorite character was Finlay. She was the true MVP. She knew the rig and it's systems from head to toe, she survived until the end on her own (which implies she endured parkouring and running her way around like Caz, despite being a 50-ish year old smoker) and she was the one with the brains and the balls to know they were doomed and needed to blow up the entire rig to protect people in the mainland. Ellen Ripley levels of badass.

@@croskerk same i am curious too since i am fan of lovecraft like cthulhu,Kraken,El maja,boo
Roanoke, there are some flaws in your theory. You think it adds more people to itself however it has been shown several times that the changed crew members also just kill and leave the bodies. For example the second dead crew member we come across, Sunil, is up there on the deck with Muir roaming about and was presumably killed by him. The third one meanwhile is being fused with the mass of flesh that is all throughout the hull of the rig however he appears to have died before being fused. The fourth is Dobbie who is grabbed and killed in Muir's introduction and adds further proof that the people are not automatically added to the warped masses of bodies that has become of the changed nor to the main mass released by the drill. Also, several bodies can be found throughout the accommodations section that are not part of the mass but appear to have been brutally killed during the third visit to the section which further points to the changed crewmembers just straight up killing those they encounter and leaving most of the bodies alone.
Further in various parts of the game Caz has to swim through oil and water in flooded sections, like the Pontoons, so if this were a bacteria or virus in the oil then Caz should have already changed several times over. In addition Rinnick warned Caz "not to touch the stuff all over Beira" implies he was talking about the flesh not oil given that the oil isn't all over the rig but the otherworldly flesh growths ARE which further disproves the oil theory.
It is far more likely that whatever causes the changes to the body requires either direct contact with the flesh growths for some period of time or something like going mad while looking at it. One skippable moment is Raffs later in game who was the guy going on his first dive and is in the diving bell we bring up after the incident with the drill and is later seen as a blob of flesh poking out of it, he most likely changed while inside of the bell.
I mean. How long until the mass feeds on those bodys and uses em....
@@tearex8688 Probably a few hours but Roanoke implied that everyone the changed killed was immediately added to either them or to the mass.
@@kabob0077 true. I still wonder if post-mortem you can still become the creature despite being deceased or if you aren't just turned into nutritional soup.

Great video! It's interesting to have an organism/creature not actually explained within the game's universe (at least it isn't right now) rather than it actually being known about in typical circles containing scientists with questionable ethics.
Perhaps it is a Earth Classic and saw the drill as a threat to it attacked it and the platform, and humans just happened to be there too which were then assimilated.
I was so so excited to see Roanoke do a breakdown of this game! its so good!
Roanoke going to have a fun time with the Vourdalak gothic movie lol
I'm just remembering something I recently watched. To survive one of the many extinction events that hit the planet back before there was even any proper surface dwelling creatures (Lichen doesn't count) a lot of marine animals literally retreated to the abyss, and, once the danger had blown over after thousands of years or so, IIRC it was poisonous algae that polluted the upper surface of the oceans, killing pretty much everything, they returned. Now the question is, how can we know if everything that swam into the depths also came back up instead of evolving to stay in the dark? Truly, the scariest things are not those we don't know at all, but those we know just enough about to wonder about.
And on that point, slightly related to the tangent, with how often it seems to come up in breakdowns like these, whether it's movies or games, meaning someone is literally thinking of it, we don't know how ancient bacteria and viruses actually acted. Sure we've studied and learned and we have models, but we can never truly know if those are 100% accurate. For example, how our modern cells contain ancient viral code and our reproduction literally mimics virus behavior, or, frankly, how multicellular life literally only happened in the first place because of something that could have at that moment just been an accident. Maybe bacteria were really the first animals, we see it in jellyfish nowadays (Also one of the first multicellular creatures to exist FYI) that a brain is actually not even an actual requirement because life finds its way.
It's fascinating and terrifying to think we're all basically just like Lego for life, we can be complex or not and still work out, literally gaining or removing pieces and seeing what happens.
"the bends doesn't hurt that bad"
it literally makes your blood explode
I have been desperately waiting for this drop. Thank you
You know what lives in the deep?
Giant Squids!
and ANGLER FISHES!
Gah! My eyes!
0:12 this thing sounds like something Nurgle created to ensure it reminds within.
Awesome video! All the bois who recommended this in the Discord are gonna be hyped!
When the game came out my first thought was "I want Roanoke gaming to make a video on this" and I'm glad that this amazing man did.
Anglerfish..
That is all.
Cancel that! Grats on the 1mil subs! Definitely deserve it.
I feel like you could do a whole series on Doctor Who aliens. Like the shadow piranhas.
That's gonna be a big negatory ghost rider. there might be red white and blue in that science fiction, however it's not in the correct order, and it's missing the stars and stripes. *salutes in righteous patriotism*
The "vashta nerada". Also fun fact, in universe that translates as "The shadows which melt the flesh" which is metal as fuck.
@@WangNurMouth May the wings of liberty never lose a feather.
Yesterday I saw Gaming Harry explain the game; today I see Roanoke explain the growths. This week is officially awesome!
Hey man what a great video I’m in the middle of Still Wakes The Deep. And it’s so good 9/10 so far for me. And been really intrigued what is growing on the oil rig. And what is turning them into monsters.
God I hope there's no anglerfish here......
*anglerfish menace intensifies*
I blame the U.S Government for this. They wanted the oil all for themselves.
This comment is the pinnacle of a pop fly into left field lolol.
in case of the game. Cadal and scottish goverment sure as shit are to blame. those twats
Without oil are country wouldn’t be functioning.

@@andreahughes1155 welp I’ll see my self out
This game combines two of the most terrifying things: body horror and angry Scots
I was awaiting your take on this, great video!
*When Caz says, "His ears are still working." I'm pretty sure he's saying that when he attracts one of the monsters if he makes noise like jumping*
" The ohall rug." I really do forget Roanoke is from the south sometimes, fantastic video as always bro
Very quick on this one. Great stuff
Roanoke you're in my thoughts man. I pray that you and your wife whatever you are going through can overcome it together and become stronger brother.
they already separated, he's chosen to not speak to much about it
@stormjin2242 damn thats sad but hopefully he's okay
How nice, I finished watching IGP’s play through of Still Wales the Deep yesterday and then I get this. Good game, very emotional.
Yes a new video!!
Also I had misread the post time of one of the comments and thought this was a 9 month old video for a quick moment.
Thank you so much for explaining because I myself was wondering how this whole microorganism situation came about this game is awesome and thank you for letting us know what happened
Over a million subs! I remember watching you way back when you had like 300 my dude!
Hell yeah!! I’m so glad you covered this!!
This is pretty fascinating. When I first saw gameplay I thought I was just going to be, you know Cthulhu, but the fact that you could find a scientific explanation for this and makes sense is kind of wild.
Yes! I played and have watched this game and the environment and everything and all I could think of is "Roanoke will know more about this organism". Glad to see the vid
I was hoping you’d go over this!! THANK YOU!
Joplin mentioned! I live about an hour away from where the tornado hit; I was in summer school between fourth and fifth grade.
I saw the word “Pathology” and clicked faster than a coin takes to flip.
(Pathology nerd and mega horror fan here - ty for the vid my dude!)
Small fun thing: a while back, I found something that scared the daylights out of me but I was so intrigued.
It was in my pond - it looked like, and I know this doesn’t exist per se, *a macroscopic prokaryote* due to its shape and flagellum.
I kept looking, and eventually found my answer in entomology: it was a bunch of rat-tailed maggots.
Glad it was that rather than some sort of disturbing mutated prokaryote, but it got me thinking… what would happen if these microscopic beings, these little unseen creatures, became bigger?
I mean, we are highly impacted by a HUGE unseen world that’s constantly around us… what would it look like if an ancient, or bigger collection of such creatures came to the surface of our world?
I don’t imagine our two worlds would merge… peacefully. But it is a VERY neat thing to think about, and especially with the neurology components in mind!
Apologies if I sound a bit… vague in my thoughts. Currently sick. So bear with me, please!
Maybe one day I can find my comment again and rephrase if this sounds a bit sporadic. 😅
Love this channel! The perfect combination of, humor, entertainment, and education!
the graphics are insane, so well done.
as a fellow STEM person i APPREICATE THIS SO MUCH!!!!! I was dying of curiosity over this thing and i kept trying to piece together what it possibly could have been, although my theories were super scattered. I'd lowkey be interested in trying to delve more into the genetics of it all (my specialty) but I dont rlly make videos so perhaps a blog LOL. (also I watched Hollow's playthrough because I'm a wimp n I cant rlly play stuff thats not on my PS)
I completely forgot I had this on my wishlist - and it looks fricking dope!
Sweet, I am glad you covered this sir! They never really explained anything about it in the game.
My favourite game of this year so far! Glad you're covering the biology of this, true body horror at its finest!
