Never underestimate the absolute psychological mayhem you can cause by mutating music. I'll be surprised if this doesn't have some James Kirby inspiration.
We human being are pattern-based creatures. We evolved to recognize the patterns of cause-and-effect for survival, and feel comforted when patterns behave in a way that is complex but ultimately recognizable. Stories follow patterns, music is entirely comprised of auditory patterns, and most humour is derived from a pattern changing in a way that is unexpected, but still makes sense. It's when an established pattern starts to fracture that we experience tension and fear. Music is arguably the best way to do this, but it's also one of the trickiest, because if you just break the pattern it won't have much effect. Instead, you must maintain ENOUGH of a pattern for the mind to keep following along and TRYING to find the pattern, while quietly twisting it at certain points to ensure it never can. The end result is, as you put it so well, "psychological mayhem."
I'd say it was just that sour spot between "understandable knee-jerk reaction" and "calculated, reluctant act of self-preservation." This was just him being mean :(
On second thought, considering the fact that Dave's a bunny, it's possible he's simply distrusting of dogs in general. Was still mean of him though ._.
I can't ignore this one thing at all. from the moment the videos started my mind went to "that keyboard sounds like it's made of legos" rather funny to me for some reason XD
I had assumed the killing of the good boy in your analysis series was simply a way to show off that aspect of the game, but upon closer inspection it appears that you are actually just completely heartless
This is so unlike what doom is, but it proves that all the gaming community would ever need is good mappers. Modern doom engines can be poked and prodded into doing just about anything.
Fun fact: (I’m only 5 mins in so I apologize if you figure this out) but if you get the blue key and go through the exit it takes you to underhalls where you can get the ssg, and then the underhalls exit takes you back to myhouse.wad. Also something crazy happens if you get to the exit teleporter by noclipping
Now THIS is the playthrough I was looking forward to. So many people I've seen either don't notice the little differences or they miss things because they don't explore. Lovely job here.
I just realised. You, the player, are the guy behind the curtain in the hospital. It's an out of body experience and you "shock" yourself back alive (also perhaps leaves room for "it was all a NDE" but 🤷🏻♀️)

I think it’ll be a good idea to try modeling my house as my second project, to get a hang of building and to have something to work with right away. The kicker is that my house number is 6066 😂
@@DavidXNewton lol my school’s architecture is way too linear for my interest (actually, it’s a church…) One of my first ideas was placing a big ol ugly pain elemental in my sister’s bedroom to represent, well, her.

It’s one of those old houses from the 50’s built with all sorts of hidey holes, tiny doors, and spare attics. Plus lots of forest and a river. Plenty of hiding places for demons…

This map has what appears to be polyobjects that do not have an infinite height. What sorcery is this!?!?! I need an adult 😃 And a tutorial quick sticks lol :) The ones I'm looking at in what I will call "the clinic" even have transparent windows! 🥳
Doom source ports added plenty of features that OG Doom just didn't have, like rooms over rooms, as well as water, mouselook, silent teleports, the whole shebang. When a game has 30 years of fan support behind it, this kind of evolution is inevitable.
i just watched your analysis on all the spooky scary tricks this map has and i loved those videos so i really had to see your first reactions to the map too
Now i have watched this video already, but i gotta say i'm impressed what people can do with older games sometimes. I've even come across Source mods or Gmod maps before who i didn't know was possible to make due to limitations.
The editing on this is amazing for such low sub channel However you produce and conduct your informational and gameplay vids are kickass and very intriguing
i'm 7 minutes in so far and picking up stuff in the new runthrough like the duckies and the ps1 becoming a ps2, why is this making me exceedingly more nervous?
you have mentioned sonata arctica and inced earth. 2 bands i love. sonata arctica much more then ice earth but. no wonder i had a natural affinity to your channel.
I saw the comment with the "still a cupboard" statement and I can't find the part of the video they are talking about. I am also too embarrassed to reply to that comment and ask :(
For this video I put the hand on backwards, the eyes upside down and a load of other glitches but the thumbnail is small enough that the hand stands out and just looks like a mistake!

yep, there's a lot of other House of Leaves references in the wad that they initially missed as well, go check out their analysis videos :D
It doesn't end there... 😮
In the journals he mentions the word "house" is in blue text.
literally the entire map is just a house of leaves reference. That's why it was made.

I can't ignore this one thing at all. from the moment the videos started my mind went to "that keyboard sounds like it's made of legos"
rather funny to me for some reason XD
27:42 I just now noticed that this bathroom has the same layout as the downstairs bathroom.
There’s always so many more connections to the house to find
The other areas like the gas station, brutalist maze and airport has the exact same layout as the basic house.
Everything in this map has the same layout as the house. Turns out you were at home the whole time-you're just insane.
@@fsmoura no, no, it's obviously the _mapper_ which is the insane one..... yeah....... totally..........
This map made me anxious as hell, but it’s such a beautiful experience.
I had assumed the killing of the good boy in your analysis series was simply a way to show off that aspect of the game, but upon closer inspection it appears that you are actually just completely heartless
Spooky or not, though, ya gotta admit this is genuinely well made in more ways than one
It really is incredible - the framing of it with the trail of forum posts going back months was really well done
@@DavidXNewton you never actually completed it though. you just stopped playing
This is so unlike what doom is, but it proves that all the gaming community would ever need is good mappers. Modern doom engines can be poked and prodded into doing just about anything.
This Wad is absolutely incredible. Totally blew my mind when I played it.
Fun fact: (I’m only 5 mins in so I apologize if you figure this out) but if you get the blue key and go through the exit it takes you to underhalls where you can get the ssg, and then the underhalls exit takes you back to myhouse.wad. Also something crazy happens if you get to the exit teleporter by noclipping
Also I got lost forever in the burned house so don’t feel bad. I’m glad to see you also had to raise the brightness.
Now THIS is the playthrough I was looking forward to. So many people I've seen either don't notice the little differences or they miss things because they don't explore. Lovely job here.

Sucks that he missed the mirror world :(
Pops in and out of the attic: "nothing" in the attic... A shame indeed.
and the water world, understandable as they both triger in a weird way
ooh been waiting for this one. easily my favorite doom level of all time. i think you only saw like 25% of what's in the map
18:46 “this doesn’t look like the house” oh but it does
Wow. You know what, I'm really happy I'm not the one playing this. Not for the faint of heart.
I am the faint of heart and can confirm it is definitely not for the faint of heart!

watched the analysis first then watched this, it's a cool wad and you made great videos of it!

Incredible.. begins to straddle the line between game and art..
Videogames are already art in the first place, so there's no straddling of lines here.
