7:20:45 I think this is my favorite bit in the whole playthrough. The idea of Michael screaming for help as some invisible hand pulls him out of the story like a stage hook is so funny to me.
5:13:04 The funniest part is that Alex did say he didn't want to go alone and he should ask Vella to tag along, but Chris blasted through that dialogue lol
4:08:36 you know, in general i recognize way more youtube and internet people than i do real actors, and i immediately picked out Rory as yuriofwind. so this cast is pretty all star to me *licks tootsie pop down to the center in four seconds
This game did one interesting thing with Rory’s plot arc. If you are an ass to him 3 times in a row he will kill himself. Would be great if there were more ways to affect the plot by being mean
This game is two percent plot and ninety eight percent grinding, load times, pointless detours and characters babbling about the nonsensical magic system.
I get what you're trying to say but like half this video is just watching cutscenes Its not that the gameplay is the majority, its the gameplay is so tedious that it starts to feel that way
Oney, Dingdong and Julian actually made me buy and play YIIK with this series. It's an awful, just awful game yet somehow I enjoy it despite it being shit. It has a charm to it that I've never seen before despite being a slog to play.
While extremely clunky, I think the plot has a good start up until you meet the android and it tries to go high concept. If it was just a dumb paranormal story with a weirdo unlikable cast it’d be better off than “This one guy is the center of existence and everything you did didn’t matter in the end.”
Honestly I think this game is tailor made for dingus and junior. Like this kind of schizophrenic Avantgarde mistake is the kind of thing only they can mesh with
It would be awful because none of the current cast would be able to focus on anything about the game. Zach is too busy and Cory and Adam would ruin this 100% lmao
I ship Vella and Alex unironically. Mostly because she continually insults him for his flaws while still trying to get him to grow and mature as a person. I just think they’re a nice cute foil to each other.
I love Chris's occasional incel rants with DD and Julian because instead of agreeing with him or challenging him they just laugh at it in the same vein as two teenagers laughing at a monkey breaking their mom's fine china
It's the one thing that really steers me away. Growing up on Newgrounds shit you're used to witnessing these takes everywhere, but it's still so disappointing and frustrating. Current OneyPlays is barely palettable because DD + J had interesting, actually somewhat valuable input to give, and actually challenged Chris on things he'd say at times, otherwise they'd just laugh at him and the occasional edgy joke. I realize it's all for show probably, but I think they brought out a better side of him :-/
After like 3 years I think I’ve decided that YIIK’s story absolutely could’ve been interesting and was a great concept in theory, but that absolute ninny fell flat on his face so many times in the execution that it becomes unbearable
1:09:06 Chris there were plenty of free GIF maker programs back in 1999. All they needed to do was take screenshots then paste them into the GIF maker. And I imagine that program had been around for a while before I started using it in coincidentally 1999 to make stick death animations lol
I really wish they could have ended YIIK but honestly between what the Ending turned out to be I don’t think it would have been a good send off for this play through. Plus this was around the same time as Julian and ding ding leaving oneyplays…
The cringe hipsterdom of Alex only makes me cringe because I was a stereotypical hipster from about 2005 to about 2020. Now I have a real job and my head is out of my ass (but I still wear cat shirts and other hipster stuff because I'm too cheap to replace my wardrobe)
I feel like the difference between this and Scott pilgrim is that the point of Scott pilgrim is that Scott is a terrible person but becomes a better one and a better adult as it goes, Alex stays insufferable through the whole game. That is the only thing I can think about through the whole game honestly.
gonna be honest dog i appreciate what youve done but the video is blurry compared to the official uploads so im just gonna stick to that thx. still very good for sleeping and not watching tho like others have said.
Imagine all the blood sweat and tears shed to make an rpg that isn't even half as post-modern as Phucker in the Ashes.
genuinely written worse than Phucker too
I watched that episode while I had a fever and thought it was a dream.
@@jacobschmieder8836 I watched it completely healthy and sober and still thought it was a fever dream lmao

To be fair, with how mind numbing the dialogue is in this game, that far in i think most people would only be half paying attention.
I would have written the script for this game in 8th grade thinking I was writing something profound and iconic
Truly the master's piece.
Sounds about right for something post-modern
it genuinely pains me that Ding Dong and Julian get so many weirdos that they don’t wanna be lets players, ding dongs monotone snark is unrivaled
9:19:00 the fact they genuinely manifested this part into the game by continually bringing it up until the choice is unreal 😂
RIP YIIK finale 😔 this could have joined Kingdom Hearts and Pokemon Red as their greatest Complete Series.
I like to think it'll get done some day

Alex YIIK canonically could exist in Super Smash Bros.
His Down Smash is him grabbing his head and screaming.
His final smash would be him doing a really long monologue wherein he talks in detail about smash brothers.
@@AxoStorm "The anticipation of using my Final Smash made me shake, vibrating with motion. I began to attack Mario, furiously with punching."
His final smash is a bag of groceries
5:45:04 Suspicious cut. Chris really hates canadians.
Canada is about to get annexed 😂
Every day I long for the completion of the yiik play thru. This video is the only thing that tides me over
sorry to tell you, Chris said in a stream the finale is fully cancelled. It's been almost 3 years since anyways so its expected tbh
the ending of the game is probably only 5 mins past the ending of the play through, there wouldn’t be a point in uploading 10 mins of footage
@@Penquinn14Fo you remember what stream that was? I can’t find anything about that

Incorrect. The game is at least 9% Chondras hips
And 100% Yiiking out
this game is 50% poo and 50% pee

Introspection can be good. Exposition can be good. Abstract descriptions can be good.
But god damn, I feel like I'm OD'ing on them watching this.

Chris discovers what a meme is in real time 2 decades into his online career
What a choice to make that crow make fun of the game before it starts. Trying to justify a weird design choice with a meta joke.
It’s seems like if the “mini games” actually changed the locations of the targets it might actually make them slightly more interesting
I miss joo joo and dingaling
joo joo and doo doo
Me too. I dunno what happened that they don't LP together anymore...
I yiik to this on my breaks at work 🥵
Would love a playthrough of the I.V. update with some of the regular OP cast. Imagine what Zach or Cory would think of Alex Yiik lol
Honestly I think this game is tailor made for dingus and junior. Like this kind of schizophrenic Avantgarde mistake is the kind of thing only they can mesh with
It would be awful because none of the current cast would be able to focus on anything about the game. Zach is too busy and Cory and Adam would ruin this 100% lmao
5:23:21 DingDong doing the Colossus' Scream from X-Men Arcade.
I ship Vella and Alex unironically. Mostly because she continually insults him for his flaws while still trying to get him to grow and mature as a person. I just think they’re a nice cute foil to each other.
They were, and Alex regrets their relationship ending. Ultimately, she kept giving and he kept hurting.
I love Chris's occasional incel rants with DD and Julian because instead of agreeing with him or challenging him they just laugh at it in the same vein as two teenagers laughing at a monkey breaking their mom's fine china
Yeah, I groaned at him describing a woman taking gender studies as a praying mantis.
Oney plays without the Oney would he perfect

@@MistyDusker they’re worse than praying mantis’s.
@@gothicpixelchick he’s not really being edgy or incel. Two words: pattern recognition

If this is a postmodern rpg then disco elysium is the modernist Rpg
Pretty sure Disco Elysium contains a refutation of Modernism in there at some point
@@pantslesswrock at least an attempted refutation.
@@zzodysseuszz Well, historically speaking, Modernism refuted itself to the tune of millions dead, so even an attempt is probably good enough

I need to make a hip hop flip of the yiik theme specifically the whistling mind dungeon version
Am i the only ome who thinks alex sounds like arin hanson
He's voiced by Kirbopher actually.
They either lost the footage or they just aren't going to finish this game
I really wish they could have ended YIIK but honestly between what the Ending turned out to be I don’t think it would have been a good send off for this play through. Plus this was around the same time as Julian and ding ding leaving oneyplays…
This was from "Oney Stays", they had already left for a while by then.
This was years after Ding Dong and Julian left OneyPlays

So, the game is working as intended for at least one person
