"The Thing" from 1982 is probably my all time favorite sci-fi horror movie. The practical special effects in the movie are so absurd and cool, ya' gotta love it! The blood test scene was some traumatizing shit when I was a kid, haha.
John Carpenter's 1982 masterpiece The Thing: my all-time favorite horror flick! Saw the recent remake/prequel a while back, and it was pretty good as well (not half as good as the original, but it had its moments). The Howard Hawks 50's version is awesome too. For those who haven't, you should also read the short story "Who Goes There?" which the Carpenter film was based.
There was a bit where you had to drop through an air conditioning shaft; after doing so, 2 massive things ran at me and i turned it off. This scared the living shit out of me
Really enjoyed watching this even though the game is not the best, your commentary is great and makes it entertaining. Also have to agree with you with the original film. Was not old enough to watch it at the cinema when it first came out, but last year my local cinema had a screening of it. They always do a classic series of films every year - even watched Goodfellas which was great on the big screen. Anyway, The Thing has to be the best cinema experience I have ever witnessed. So enjoyable to watch, the model effects by Rob Bottin are some of the best ever created in my opinion. Along with Robocop, The Thing has to be one of the best sci films around.
I remember this game....it wasn't awful, but I didn't like how your teammates seem to just get taken out at random. Although their classic 'this mission is bullshit' lines never got old. :P
Also watch the original Thing from the 50's. It was pretty ahead of its time in terms of effects. Still think the 80's version is better as I feel it is far closer to the original novel, but you should still give the 50's a watch. You can kind of skip the recent remake. It is not bad, but just could not capture the thrill and horror mystery of the 80's version.
As a suggestion for some retro gamplays, maybe Super Mario Bros? or Doom or one of the Heretic/Hexen series of games? :) maybe Shovel Knight and Knights of the Old Republic? keep up the great work stalwart warrieeer!
so are you telling me that I'm the only one here that like the newer the thing , felt at tho it was better dont get my wrong watch the oldet one first but when they show the thing I laughed the newer one looked so much more better
the classic was better, the new one had really good effects. but the classic was more scarier. I still freak out when I watch it.

The 2012 prequal is good. It's a little awkward, though, being that it was first written as a remake and the rewrite left in a few scenes we saw in 1982 with only minor changes. But it was significantly creepy and tied in well. I enjoyed the last scene being the first scene of the original. Still, I wasn't as disturbed by it as the original.
+212Blackace The prequel was just a hackneyed retread of all the best parts of Carpenter's original, but with the added bonus of shitty CGI replacing all the incredible practical effects. Oh, and it wasn't even remotely scary. The original still creeps me out and I must have seen it a couple dozen times.
+CerberusLives The really sad thing is that they did it all with practical effects and then some studio exec decided to have it all painted over with cheap CG during editing. I have no idea why they thought it would look better because what has survived of the original effects look way better that the crap the covered it over with. I mean really, some of those effects were literally just crossfades between two different models with some warping thrown in, what the hell. Look up "thing 2011 practical" on TH-cam if you want to see what survived of the original practical effects. But be warned, it'll make you angry.
+LemonHDfilms 1337 I'll spoon feed you, in the original movie there was a separate team from the main cast that encountered the thing prior to the main cast. They were Norwegian, the voices at the beginning are likely remnants of the Norwegian team.

Npc: "I'm lock loaded and ready to make things dead"
Throthgar: You're gonna die first.😁😁
how inept do the devs have to be to show such a mysterious and suspenseful creature in the BEGINNING of the game

Love the film, one of my faves. Great atmosphere, great practical special effects. Big fan of a lot of Carpenters films
There was a bit where you had to drop through an air conditioning shaft; after doing so, 2 massive things ran at me and i turned it off. This scared the living shit out of me
I think im going to watch the thing again
The first Dead Space game is basically a good The Thing game. Dead Space 3 has the cold and snowy environments though.
Huh!? So they forgot to blow that first area out of orbit? I never finished watching the original The Thing movie years back though.
UNTIL DAWN Throthgar/Tyrannicon. Dont make me watch it on another channel. Is it coming?
That would be a key choice
It'd be a bumble if not.
Badass game! I loved these PS2 era games.

Any chance of a Shovel Knight play through?
I owned this when it was new, my fandom got the best of my wallet that day smh

hahahahaha!! Medic,heal me in the name if Medic....excellent work medic. We loled so hard when we heared this, all of us xD
The life theme at the end of the video 😂😂😂😂

remember this game years ago
This was a game, I was expecting a machinima starring Throthgar
hey tyrannicon, sorry this doesn't relate to the video, but why do you nick name characters Johnny (Johnny ghoul, Johnny bloodborne, Johnny virus)
this could work for a full playtrought
T-Con, you hear that Wes Craven died?
Hey! Sweden!
They're Norwegians, Mac.
Where is Kurt Russell ?
This game used to terrify the fuck out of me when I was a kid.
+Avatar Korra That fight is over. Release the fear.
Ah I loved this game.
When nxt tj laser episode
PS2 ALL THE WAY BABBBBBYYYY =p
Wouldn't the PC version be the best one to play?
Excellent point.
Throthgar play brute force that is a 4 man squad base shooter on the xbox. You can bring back the COHESIVE UNIT
Into classics Ty, you should try Evil Dead Regeneration! One of my favorite games.
are you gonna do a playthrough of fallout 4 as you of throthgar/tj
+skyrim zion117 Not sure yet.
+Tyrannicon are you going to do a special video for your 1000th upload?
Do more !
Film spoilers
Wasn't it implied that Childs was the Thing at the end of the film? You could see Mac's breath but not Childs.
i turn my adblock off for throthgar vids. few are worth it
Some shit old games you should check out, Necronomicon: The Dawning of Darkness. And Martian Gothic. Both ps1 era games and hilariously bad.
Ohh this piece of shit, I forgot about this fucking game and for good reason.
so are you telling me that I'm the only one here that like the newer the thing , felt at tho it was better dont get my wrong watch the oldet one first but when they show the thing I laughed the newer one looked so much more better
