@@amterasutenma2547Most of the inmates are around your size, only Chris Walker and Glueskin are a lot more imposing than you. I know Traeger and the buzzsaw guy are major villains also, but i always felt Eddie and Chris were the most interesting and scary of the villains.
He does it in more than 12. 'Cause we don't now how long it took Waylon to get to vocational block. Still is less than a day so yeah, still very diabolical (and impressive)
To be fair, one is an actual prison for superhumans, other is a cover up front for a human expirimentation lab, so it is only natural that one is professional, while other looks like a hellhole.
@@youtubestayatyourrootsforfsakeDon't forget that Arkham's most dangerous inmate isn't even a superhuman, but a human man who looks like a clown, always finds a way to break out minutes after being thrown back in.
@youtubestayatyourrootsforfsake Joker would get life imprisonment. Gotham is in New Jersey and they haven't had the death penalty for like 2 decades on paper but they haven't used it since 1963. That's almost 50 years they could have executed but they never did.
Thank God someone else remembers how messed up the Groom was. I seriously think if he was a part of the main game, he would be considered the best villain in the Outlast series. It's too bad most of the people who didn't get the Whistleblower DLC missed out on him.
@@lucasbell4831 Yes, he did some shenanigans with his knife. So I guess this is bad, but not enough to call him the worst villain in gaming. This title should be given to EA obviously.
Eddie is the one and only villain that ever made me scream out loud. I just find him so genuinely unsettling, that I actually didn't want to be caught. Not because I'd die and have to start over, but because of what would happen to Wayland. 10/10, messed up villain.
I felt that , partly because there is that scene in the main game where you lose your fingers and you just aren't convinced that the devs will let you leave unscathed in the dlc...
As a blind person, this is the first outlast video to actually scare me, your description of the events happening on screen really makes me imagine them as if I saw them in front of me, thank you so much for this terrifying yet great video
This man's voice actor KNOCKED it out of the park. It was incredibly creepy when I first entered that area and heard him singing. The whole bit was disgusting, frightening, horrifying, terror inducing, and ultimately sad, especially when I found his file.
This kinda makes me wish for a Arkham Asylum game to happen but not as Batman as the playable character but a inmate gotten trusted into the hash conditions of the asylum and in the middle of a Arkham Break out and you have to survive people like Killer Croc, Professor Pyg, Clayface, and more Edit: look at this nice comment section I have spawned (-:
@@ninjadudezack or Riddler would put you in a Saw like trap like in the Batman with the bomb collar or even worse imagine that finger trap form Resident Evil 7
The Groom is easily one of the sickest and most disturbing characters I've ever seen in a video game. Flamboyant psychopaths like him are the reason Outlast is so memorable.
There's actually unused dialogue where Eddie alludes to the child abuse and swears to Waylan that nothing like that would happen to 'our babies.' Also just before he's trapped in the machine, he screams that the guards are going to rape him.
You know, after one of the guards LICKING Waylon after strapping him inside the morphogenic engine, I believe Eddie when he said that about the guards 😢
You did Eddie Gluskin justice with this video. Not many horror game enthusiasts talk about him (it’s for the best lol). Him and WAU are one of the best and underrated fictional horror game antagonist/villain imo
What I hate the most is how many people are turning Eddie into this 'cute soft boy that never did anything wrong' Like, yeah, he didn't deserve getting abused and turned into a lab rat, but he isn't a soft boy...
genuinely where have u seen this , ive never seen someone say he didnt do anything wrong??? is it on twitter? cuz if so then that makes a lot of sense😭😭
What makes Eddie so frightening is the fate that awaits you if he catches you. Forced into a butchered sex change operation that will only fail so he can sate his twisted delusions is downright chiling.
It doesn't help that he's only doing that to inmates and patients because he's EXTREMELY misogynistic, and wants to kill women, which explains why he's so quick to start calling you a whore or a slut if you run from him.
@@Jwizard16McDonald... i dunno about you man, but i think wanting to kill women and only caring about them if they serve you and your own purposes to the point where to you they're not human beings but means to an end seems pretty mysoginistic.
@@Jwizard16McDonald dislike of, contempt for, or ingrained prejudice against women. Contempt: is a feeling of intense dislike or lack of respect for someone or something. Prejudice: preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience.
Some years back, I read somewhere on some tumblr(?) post that the reason why male players had such a visceral reaction to Gluskin was because they were experiencing what it felt like to be in the shoes of a woman who was stalked, harassed, and attacked by a misogynistic man. Gluskin is always calling the player darling and trying to love bomb you one moment then demeaning you the next until flipping out violently because you're "rejecting" his advances.
Not to mention subject to more systemic forms of misogyny like getting put through surgery that you have no say in, constantly told that there's something off about your look that you need to fix, you are forced to endure the violence women experience on a daily level.
No, I have such a visceral Reaction to this Character because he wants to Cut off my Dick. This part is quite sensitive. Extremely to be precise. I would rather be gutted by the Cannibal or ripped apart be the big man than stabbed down there.
I think one of the scarier parts about eddie just from a game mechanic is that he seems to be the only villain who realizes you hide in the lockers. I think he's the only one that takes away your safe escape. Eddie is the kind of monster that we invented Stranger Danger for.
Avarge "eunuch maker" experience of the UK (Comes out sending your kids to an alleyway for "gender affirmation" ends up with 1 dude mutilating more than a thousand kids)
Father Martin’s my favorite character because during my horrifying playthrough he’s the only person who genuinely looks out for you 😭. We came to see the horrors of the asylum and he gave us exactly what we asked for 💀
Avarge UK transitioning experience (The "eunuch maker" case. Who knew sending your kids to an alleyway to "affirm their gender" ended with over a thousand kids getting mutilated)
I think it's worth considering that the Groom is one of the few villains in gaming that targets men this way, a masculine figure who threatens to violate the protagonist and subject both him and the (presumably male) player to an experience they typically never have to worry about or can feel disconnected from. Which is not to downplay the horror invoked, of course, quite the contrary.
it reminds me in a way of the Alien movie scene with its regards to forced pregnancy. seeing how both the movie and this game KNOW their target audience and using it as a way to instill fear is amazing
I get how insane and grotesque Eddie is once he is free from the engine, but I personally think he isn't the most "vile" villain in the game. That title belongs to Richard Trager. Before and after the engine, that guy was just a full blown, A grade scum bag. Obviously not excusing Eddies horrific crimes, they are absolute nightmare fuel. But if we are digging into the history of each character and what they were like before and after the morphogenic engine, Trager definitely takes the cake.
Playing the dlc and seeing him for the first time made me absolutely terrified, like I have never been scared of a character that much, hearing his voice singing through the halls behind you as he chased you is one of the most bone chilling experiences I’ve ever experienced in gaming. During the part where he dragged you in the locker I was panicking because I wanted to be no where near this man and when I saw the table saw, my heart dropped instantly, I almost puked multiple times watching that grotesque scene. What also scares me the most about him is the fact that he has such a warped sense of reality that compels him to do these absolutely horrific acts for “love” is just utterly bone chilling. One of the most haunting characters in gaming in my opinion, thank you for shedding more light on him.
outlast whistleblower is what any dlc should look to be adding to the story without interfering with the main story (miles and waylen were still seperate even tho they were fighting for their lives at the same time) and isn't a cash grab and for me personally sexual crimes are way more horrid and horrible than violent crimes which is why sexual criminals and people who do vile sexual acts I consider to be the most sick of people which is what eddie perfectly captures and he taps into a sexual fear not many horror genres do these days (mostly because of how much of a taboo and inappropriate topic it is relative to violent acts)
True, but ranking crimes as “worst” than others, which can be equally as bad, creates a hierarchy. Especially when it comes to its victims and/or family (esp when involving children of any type of crime). All crimes, except maybe things like petty theft, are horrible and can be traumatic to its victims. It shouldn’t be a competition. I think that’s one of the things I most disliked as being a csa/cocsa survivor. What happened to me? Other victims of different serious crimes should be given the same amount of respect and awareness. Nothing more, nothing less. No “there’s special evil” mindset. Their and my perp(s) should equally all seen as the pos they are.
@@bimates2690 I agree with that point of view regarding crimes, each crime is horrible and shouldn't be ranked by awfulness, the only things that should differentiate the treatment of the criminals are the victims they create, those that create more victims should be treated worse though none are innocent or 'better' than another of the criminals.
I praised Eddie to my brother when we both played Outlast, saying: "He is the kind of villain that makes a man feel what a woman feelss". On this same topic, I don't know if he'd be less or more terrifying if there were female inmates in Mount Massive.
@@jacej355 Human rights and justice are still a thing. There is why Norway is more progressive in terms of justice and their treatment of criminals. Norway has a belief of rehabilitation. They still give human rights, but loss of some freedoms, to inmates. Regardless, of what they done. Because the focus is on rehabilitation. So, if they return to society, they can be productive members of society. Instead, of repeating the cycle.
he truly is the best because he past any point of redemption but he still has a sympathetic backstory. like a couple other outlast villains- like, the scariest thing about any of these villains is that they were all normal children once, and life events and events inside that asylum are what turned them into these full on pyschos. prompting the idea that anyone could become this, it isnt some rarity- anyone can be pushed to these points of breaking
@@JosefinaQB no more so he was a corrupt murkoff businessman (I forget what his job was in company but it was high ranking ) who was “close associates” with Jeremey Blair’s mount massive asylum director. He assaulted a women and tried to cover it up and when that failed he went psychotic. We don’t really know much about him before that incident but we can assume since he a murkoff employee, he was already morally bankrupt.
Love Outlast so much. Gluskin being in the DLC only is pretty ironic and comical because he’s the most disturbed and vile objectively, gosh this game series is amazing. Great video as well❤
It fits perfectly bc first, it is stated that the arkham asylum is much darker than what Batman see. I personally think you playing as an inmate in arkham is much better than as a regular civilians.
At 18:00 I have a name for that variant throughout my playthroughs he's the "Chad Varient" because it either takes one insane or one exceptionally brave motherfucker to do what he did, may he be remembered.
I remember starting Outlast for Eddie specifically, finding him in an edit on tiktok and liking his design. After finishing the DLC? I was horrified of the character. It took me playing the game 3 more times before I was able to get used to just how horrific his segments are. He’s still my favorite character, but I always feel my stomach drop a little when I see him in game
Mount Massive Asylum = Arkham Asylum Chris Walker = Killer Croc Father Martin = Deacon Blackfire The Twins = Tweedledee and Tweedledum Richard Trager = The Joker The Walrider = The Batman Rudolf Wernicke = Hugo Strange Jeremy Blaire = Jeremiah Arkham Frank Manera = Cornelius Stirk Dissociative Dennis = Two-Face Eddie Gluskin = Professor Pyg
@bigboyskater-koi True. But Chris being disfigured and being in the sewers gives me more Killer Croc Vibes. Bane is more of an intelligent mastermind and less of a simple minded monster villain. Croc and Chris are also smarter than they seem but not like Bane. The Twins could alternativly be Mr. Hammer and Sickle as well.
I think the other part of it that makes Eddie gluskin so scary is that he gives you a feeling of being violated. Dr. Trager kind of has the vibe too because he cuts off two of your fingers but not as much as Gluskin. I wasn't nearly as scared of Chris Walker or the Wallrider as I was of them.
every time i play through outlast, i find myself both terrified of Eddie but also i feel so much pain for him. the horrors he was subjected to completely melted his mind - he never had a chance and i think thats what made him my favourite(?) villain - because like... he really stood no chance to even try and live a good life, there was nobody there to guide him and nobody there to show him how to be a good person - his parental figures ruined him before he could even form a thought on his own and that breaks my heart. and i mean there is still the obvious with the experiments and everything actually inside the game that you witness/learn about but i think his backstory hits really hard. Eddie is an amazing villain, and the writers seriously did such a great job shaping him, its such a shame he wasnt in the main game and only dlc 😭😭😭 like, the dialogue he says is probably some of the best imo - like the promising what happened to him would never happen to "our" kids all while subjecting us (the player) to unfathomable horrors - simply AMAZING in portraying his character ugh i just love this game man 😭😭
fun fact: the point about how he can't tell that what he's doing is even wrong or evil is actually something that would probably be used in his defense in court. Part of the requirement for an insanity plea is that the person quite literally has to have no remote notion that what evil thing they did was even evil to begin with. The hangup would be whether he planned things out or not. Like he definitely has a whole set up for doing the things he does, but then he also just kinda does them at random. (Instead of attacking the player immediately when he has them in a locker he takes time to attack someone else for example) and he definitely isn't trying to plan ahead in a way that means he's trying to hide what he's doing. So it seems like they did a decent job writing him as an inmate at an asylum when it comes to his personality/actions
It's interesting because Eddie's character is absolutely disturbing, but I think it's because he puts men in the same position as I see women put into in horror and in real life. It's the fear of "this person wants to hurt me, they are bigger than me, and they're going to do far worse than just killing me". And yes gore in horror is definitely awful but the fear of violation and sadistic pleasure from your pain and/or mutilation is another level of disturbing we don't see in Horror directed at men often.
@Jwizard16McDonald Hey, you're entitled to your own opinion. That's the nice thing about art. Different interruptions due to different perspectives. World wouldn't be interesting if we all lived the same life. Keep on keeping on.
@Jwizard16McDonald In the scope of horror fiction, you'll have to blame the writer and director for that one. Sexual brutality and violation in media, especially horror/thriller, have women more sensationalized and sexualized than their male counterparts by a wide margin. Being killed is one thing but being raped and killed is another. Horror writers know that, real life knows that. Hence why it's heinous and often used for shock value. (Or for the perverts out there, keeps them watching their movies).
@@abbaddon715 Your opinion is a byproduct of feminist propaganda that has been shoved down your throat since a very early age. Sexual abuse is nowhere near as horrifying as you make it out to be.
Something about Outlast that always got me was that there was no reasoning with these people. Common sense and reason mean nothing and will not save you.
@@anthonykarnes6804 women are generally weaker so uh I'm not saying its not wrong to hit em but violence can be met with violence and this is coming from a woman
@@pridhvi4789 Aww that's cute, you unironically think women can't get violent with men. Guess the 49 percent male victims of spousal abuse are just an illusion huh?
Glad I'm not the only one who made the connection to Aliens just now! From how I see it, both Eddie and the xenomorph target men and assault them, turning the victims into husks of their former selves (literally).
That was honestly the only thing I could think of while watching this along with his backstory. In general a lot of people have Grooms back story. I know five people irl including myself with his similar backstory and someone was a guy. Yet when we see the statistics that pent up aggression and hate isn't directed upon the men that hurt them but other women and children. So Groom's reaction sadly is a pretty common accurate reaction too. The only thing that puzzles me though, he doesn't have a fear or is wary of other men but I guess everyone to him is a to soon be wife/woman.
@@LlamaeVeresthat's misogyny for you,society highlights male heroes and not female heroes all the time even historical figures they make almost everything about men so while they portray women as the reason for anything evil basically so even tho most s3rial k1llers with bad childhoods in real life were ab4sed by their fathers they always target women maybe because women are more vulnerable but mostly because they blame them for not saving them while the women themselves are in position of power
I feel like, since the opportunity has presented itself, I have to mention my middle school sweetheart turn Ex had a very deep "thing" for Eddie and would often sexualize and fantasize them with me. I realized much later the horrors that relationship had put me through but feel in watching this just how horrific that infatuation was
Can't believe it's been a decade since the original outlast. I been thinking about legend of Korra with it's second season coming out around the time of the first game. The insanity of what happened in the game and knowing stuff like this happens elsewhere is insane
when i saw this vid i couldnt see the full thumbnail, but i noticed the night vision filter and the title and i already knew, i fucking love outlast so much
Dude! How are you so freaking good and intuitive about tone, subtexts in delivery, atmosphere??! Goddamn Given your general style and vibe I think you should do more "a kind man's rage" sort of story, like the ones you've done about Peter letting go. You capture the rage and pain of the characters so well, and plus you do great jokes!
Even Jimmy isn't as vile as Gluskin. You think committing SA against one person is bad? How about DOZENS of women before he got caught, and that's all before he got started in Mount Massive.
For the game to have a character like Eddie Gluskin is incredible and terrifying. His character ties in to how monsters are made; either nature or nurture. In his case, it's nurture as his father and uncle did horrible things to him and his mother did nothing. Then even more so when he's put into that experimentation that corrupted his body and mind, creating the monster we see now. I was very amazed how they built up his story from the beginning to how he met his end. While I do feel bad for what he went through in the past, it doesn't excuse what he did in Mount Massive. Great video! Very informative!
I love horror games, but Eddie is one of the few characters to actually make my jaw drop. A few times during his section I couldn't stop myself from covering my mouth in horror. I applaud him for that since not a lot of things can make me feel that uncomfortable. There were only a few parts in Outlast 2 that got a similar reaction, the babies you had to walk on was one of them along with the room where a girl was curled up on the bed weeping after Knoth was "done" with her. Outlast was easily one of my favorite horror games and this video captured why
Eddie gave me nightmares when I first entered the Outlast fandom. the way he said "Darling" freaked me out. the way that he is so obsessed of making men into women just to "marry" them. As a woman myself.. men like him freak me out so much. he's top in my list of scary men.
Now imagine how we guys feel lmao Me personally, I clenched my thighs together while playing through his section, especially the part where he mutilates his patients 🤢
If it wouldn't get him totally demonetised, I would say he needs to do Muraki from the VN/manga/anime Descendants of Darkness. Necrophilic hospital director with a hero complex who unleashes plagues so he can cure them for good press. The MC starts investigating and just finds more and more horrible things about the guy. Like he picks and chooses who he "saves," killing those who would cause maximum suffering (like the only child of a barren woman, spouses of already depressed or alcoholic patients, the most beloved of a group of siblings) which allows him to console them in such a way as to drain their wealth, and he has hidden cameras throughout to capture every moment of grief. Or that when a favoured patient needs a transplant, he tracks a previously saved patient down and kills them for the organ. Eventually he learns of the investigation *and falls for the MC!* And the MC is *male* himself, _but Muraki wants a family...._ One possible path is *he kidnaps and 🍇 your mother* and delivers the baby as "our son," then mindfucks the MC into enjoying being his "wife" and becoming his accomplice (the live action followed this path) Not only is he epicly deranged _it's implied his kill count is in the 5 digits due to releasing contagious disease so much,_ and he successfully framed numerous colleagues, destroying their lives and careers. _An absolute menace to society from every angle!_ 😬 Also if the child is female it's delivered, killed, and fed back to your mother "until the stupid 🐴 gets it right" 😖 _At least AM only hates you and wants you to suffer!_ Imagine Eddie with the omnipotent detective skills of Batman and the limitless super wealth and scientific knowledge of Tony Stark And if you pursue an option to kill him, _you find out after the unsuccessful attempt he is in fact, a vampire, and has been doing this since the 6th century_
4:27 this guy and the one who caught the kitchen on fire always stood out to me, that not everyone was so far gone that they didn't have a sense of humanity or a semblance of right and wrong
Trager though isnt insane hes just evil even before he got admitted to murkoffs asylum (which murkoff probably did on purpose so that he wont go to prison to reveal any projects murkoff was working on) he was raping women and was a genuinely bad person and after the morphogenic treatment he just had more of a reason to be brutal to his victims
My love for outlast cannot be expressed. This game is my all time favorite, I have the story memorized front to back and have played it many many times. I’m so so happy people still talk about it.
One of the best out here. You & Comic Lads are my top new comic related finds of the year. You both make interesting videos with extremely well placed wit.
Good job on blurring the scene just enough to pass most guidelines, but also to where we can still fill in the blanks /gen! Unironically Eddie is one of my favorite villains in outlast, close only to Val or Nick and Laird from the second game :)))
Oh seeing this video in my recommended got me so excited. I recognized him right away even with no indication who he was. Eddie Gluskin, my beloved. He really made me learn how to love and appreciate just how intricately messed up a villainous character could be, with all the nasty, realistic aspects added. No fluff, no redemption. Just a real horror of a person :,)
I’ll always remember the poem I read from a commenter about the guy at 18:00 “All hail the unnamed hero, Savior from the skies. Protector of the treasures That sit betwixt our thighs.” Easily a top 10 video game companion
Bought outlast on a steam sale yesterday for 2,31 € , gonna buy the dlc some day as well lol. I've been a fan of the games for a long time and the groom is my favorite villain, the only one following shortly after being dr trager. Outlast for how simple it is has some great story and villains frfr. Great video
I found this unfathomably Sad the first play through. Broken mind wanting everything he didn’t have as a kid but so lost in delusion and mental damage that he prevents himself from ever getting it. Becoming worse than the people who abused him ever could have been.😕
As a woman, I want to say thank you for uploading this. Because men especially tend to forget how often other men are dangerous. "NOT ALL MEN!" They exclaim. But we don't know if we're dealing with an Eddie or a Waylon. And it's not that women can't be as deplorable as men, oh we're all human and capable of deplorable actions. But because the world is mostly men focused, they get the most chances to go and do far worse things.
Like, all too often I feel like guys in general don't understand how depraved other men can be. I'll never play Outlast. I have a low tolerance for gore and heinous crimes. But I feel like the developers really nailed it here. They put men in a similar role to what women have a higher chance of experiencing. There's noting salacious or cheap or forced feeling here; it's real and true horror. It's not raw, it's not a nightmare or real life where you really are trapped. But it's a simulation that absolutely shows the pure disparity and sickness that men do.
@@MysticMorigan1998 Yes. People may say it's not a women-only fear, and yes, some men are victims as well. However, there are countless, COUNTLESS known cases of torture focused on female genitalia and it's horrific, because it's easy for these deranged killers to not view another gender as being human. Perverted obsessions, condoned violence, and having no idea how female anatomy works, all contributes to the extremely disproportionate numbers of victims between men and women.
@@MysticMorigan1998 here we gooo acting like ur gender is da ultimate victims even tho all of what tf you claim has been done has been done to men at a higher rate.

I think you should play Mouthwashing! Would love to see your analysis on... all of that. Anyways, I never played any of the Outlasts but I watched playthroughs and the only villain I can ever remember is the Groom. He's so utterly terrifying and such a good representation of the very real fears and experiences woman go through. I always found men's reaction to the Groom to be so fascinating.
Horror games with guns are my jam. I loved the F.E.A.R. series for the feeling you get when all your training and armaments mean very little to the enemy
So, some speculation about Miles Wallrider seeing Waylin at the end of Whistleblower, notice how the jeep didn't have enough momentum to actually break through the gate. Miles pushed him through. He wanted Waylin to escape.
Dang. I very much enjoyed this video. If you did a whole documentary on Outlast, I'd absolutely watch the entire thing. The way you talked about the "asshole" lol. I felt the same when I watched the gameplays over and over.
Eddie is everything terrifying: very large and strong, extremely perverse, absolutely insane and has his own domain.
He makes me feel so small... His eyes are so cold, I feel like he's looking right at me through the screen.

I know right? And the player rejects him smh@@Abo-m7md-9

I think he wanted it. Maybe a scream from his subconscious to end the misery. Everything under the excuse that he didn't want to let go.
The Groom is easily one of the sickest and most disturbing characters I've ever seen in a video game. Flamboyant psychopaths like him are the reason Outlast is so memorable.
What's wrong with him exactly? I don't remember anything really bad outside of his knife play.

There's actually unused dialogue where Eddie alludes to the child abuse and swears to Waylan that nothing like that would happen to 'our babies.'
Also just before he's trapped in the machine, he screams that the guards are going to rape him.
16:43 he pretty much has the same line worded differently here
In one of his files it does mention his abuse from his father and I think uncle as well, it's the file you find after jumping out the window!
You know, after one of the guards LICKING Waylon after strapping him inside the morphogenic engine, I believe Eddie when he said that about the guards 😢
@@anubishound8179 oh my god your right 😭 I forgot about that scene, so yeah it definitely makes what Eddie said even more believable!
It's canon that he was raped by his father and uncle, and highly likely by the guards at the facility.
You did Eddie Gluskin justice with this video. Not many horror game enthusiasts talk about him (it’s for the best lol). Him and WAU are one of the best and underrated fictional horror game antagonist/villain imo

What makes Eddie so frightening is the fate that awaits you if he catches you. Forced into a butchered sex change operation that will only fail so he can sate his twisted delusions is downright chiling.
It doesn't help that he's only doing that to inmates and patients because he's EXTREMELY misogynistic, and wants to kill women, which explains why he's so quick to start calling you a whore or a slut if you run from him.
@@ReesesBeesdefine misogyny
@@Jwizard16McDonald... i dunno about you man, but i think wanting to kill women and only caring about them if they serve you and your own purposes to the point where to you they're not human beings but means to an end seems pretty mysoginistic.

Cattle Decapitation had a song like that but I can't remember what it's called
Some years back, I read somewhere on some tumblr(?) post that the reason why male players had such a visceral reaction to Gluskin was because they were experiencing what it felt like to be in the shoes of a woman who was stalked, harassed, and attacked by a misogynistic man. Gluskin is always calling the player darling and trying to love bomb you one moment then demeaning you the next until flipping out violently because you're "rejecting" his advances.
Not to mention subject to more systemic forms of misogyny like getting put through surgery that you have no say in, constantly told that there's something off about your look that you need to fix, you are forced to endure the violence women experience on a daily level.
Sounds like my ex
He scares me more than the other characters because based on the voice-lines, the player will not only get killed but also likely sexually assaulted
Well that and he chops up pps...
No, I have such a visceral Reaction to this Character because he wants to Cut off my Dick. This part is quite sensitive. Extremely to be precise. I would rather be gutted by the Cannibal or ripped apart be the big man than stabbed down there.
I think one of the scarier parts about eddie just from a game mechanic is that he seems to be the only villain who realizes you hide in the lockers. I think he's the only one that takes away your safe escape.
Eddie is the kind of monster that we invented Stranger Danger for.

I think it's worth considering that the Groom is one of the few villains in gaming that targets men this way, a masculine figure who threatens to violate the protagonist and subject both him and the (presumably male) player to an experience they typically never have to worry about or can feel disconnected from. Which is not to downplay the horror invoked, of course, quite the contrary.
it reminds me in a way of the Alien movie scene with its regards to forced pregnancy. seeing how both the movie and this game KNOW their target audience and using it as a way to instill fear is amazing
I get how insane and grotesque Eddie is once he is free from the engine, but I personally think he isn't the most "vile" villain in the game. That title belongs to Richard Trager. Before and after the engine, that guy was just a full blown, A grade scum bag. Obviously not excusing Eddies horrific crimes, they are absolute nightmare fuel. But if we are digging into the history of each character and what they were like before and after the morphogenic engine, Trager definitely takes the cake.
Yeah... Jeremy Blaire also takes the cake for awfulness and I think the only person he tries to kill is Waylon.
Playing the dlc and seeing him for the first time made me absolutely terrified, like I have never been scared of a character that much, hearing his voice singing through the halls behind you as he chased you is one of the most bone chilling experiences I’ve ever experienced in gaming. During the part where he dragged you in the locker I was panicking because I wanted to be no where near this man and when I saw the table saw, my heart dropped instantly, I almost puked multiple times watching that grotesque scene. What also scares me the most about him is the fact that he has such a warped sense of reality that compels him to do these absolutely horrific acts for “love” is just utterly bone chilling. One of the most haunting characters in gaming in my opinion, thank you for shedding more light on him.
outlast whistleblower is what any dlc should look to be
adding to the story without interfering with the main story (miles and waylen were still seperate even tho they were fighting for their lives at the same time) and isn't a cash grab
and for me personally sexual crimes are way more horrid and horrible than violent crimes which is why sexual criminals and people who do vile sexual acts I consider to be the most sick of people which is what eddie perfectly captures and he taps into a sexual fear not many horror genres do these days (mostly because of how much of a taboo and inappropriate topic it is relative to violent acts)
Eddie making people his wife is
all kinds of weird.
True, but ranking crimes as “worst” than others, which can be equally as bad, creates a hierarchy. Especially when it comes to its victims and/or family (esp when involving children of any type of crime). All crimes, except maybe things like petty theft, are horrible and can be traumatic to its victims. It shouldn’t be a competition. I think that’s one of the things I most disliked as being a csa/cocsa survivor.
What happened to me? Other victims of different serious crimes should be given the same amount of respect and awareness. Nothing more, nothing less. No “there’s special evil” mindset. Their and my perp(s) should equally all seen as the pos they are.
@@bimates2690 I agree with that point of view regarding crimes, each crime is horrible and shouldn't be ranked by awfulness, the only things that should differentiate the treatment of the criminals are the victims they create, those that create more victims should be treated worse though none are innocent or 'better' than another of the criminals.
I praised Eddie to my brother when we both played Outlast, saying: "He is the kind of villain that makes a man feel what a woman feelss". On this same topic, I don't know if he'd be less or more terrifying if there were female inmates in Mount Massive.
@@jacej355 Human rights and justice are still a thing. There is why Norway is more progressive in terms of justice and their treatment of criminals. Norway has a belief of rehabilitation. They still give human rights, but loss of some freedoms, to inmates. Regardless, of what they done. Because the focus is on rehabilitation. So, if they return to society, they can be productive members of society. Instead, of repeating the cycle.
Dude you have to play Mouthwashing, one of the characters has became the most hated guy in gaming LMAO
Looooved watching John Wolfe’s playthrough of Mouthwashing!! God that character was sick.
All my homies hate jimbalaya
If jimmy has no haters I am dead

I HATE JIMOTHY SO MUCH
he truly is the best because he past any point of redemption but he still has a sympathetic backstory. like a couple other outlast villains- like, the scariest thing about any of these villains is that they were all normal children once, and life events and events inside that asylum are what turned them into these full on pyschos. prompting the idea that anyone could become this, it isnt some rarity- anyone can be pushed to these points of breaking
Well the issue is that many patients, are so heavily scarred from the morphogenic engine that they have severe brain damage.
The only exception (that I remember) is Trager, dude was vile to the core since the beginning
Not Trager though, he was an ass even before the experiments
@ bro was born evil??? Even as an adolescent???
@@JosefinaQB no more so he was a corrupt murkoff businessman (I forget what his job was in company but it was high ranking ) who was “close associates” with Jeremey Blair’s mount massive asylum director. He assaulted a women and tried to cover it up and when that failed he went psychotic. We don’t really know much about him before that incident but we can assume since he a murkoff employee, he was already morally bankrupt.
When outlast came out, it taught me the golden rule of not just gaming, but any situation really: Always.Look.Up.😬
Love Outlast so much. Gluskin being in the DLC only is pretty ironic and comical because he’s the most disturbed and vile objectively, gosh this game series is amazing. Great video as well❤
Outlast is basically Batman:Arkham Asylum if you were playing as a regular civilian 😭😭😭
It fits perfectly bc first, it is stated that the arkham asylum is much darker than what Batman see. I personally think you playing as an inmate in arkham is much better than as a regular civilians.

After finishing the DLC? I was horrified of the character. It took me playing the game 3 more times before I was able to get used to just how horrific his segments are. He’s still my favorite character, but I always feel my stomach drop a little when I see him in game

@@mr.redhands8390 really? i swear he was in arkham asylum in the game
@@mr.redhands8390 He was experimented on in Arkham. But yes I don't think he ever was a patient there. At least in the game.
I think the other part of it that makes Eddie gluskin so scary is that he gives you a feeling of being violated. Dr. Trager kind of has the vibe too because he cuts off two of your fingers but not as much as Gluskin. I wasn't nearly as scared of Chris Walker or the Wallrider as I was of them.
every time i play through outlast, i find myself both terrified of Eddie but also i feel so much pain for him. the horrors he was subjected to completely melted his mind - he never had a chance and i think thats what made him my favourite(?) villain - because like... he really stood no chance to even try and live a good life, there was nobody there to guide him and nobody there to show him how to be a good person - his parental figures ruined him before he could even form a thought on his own and that breaks my heart. and i mean there is still the obvious with the experiments and everything actually inside the game that you witness/learn about but i think his backstory hits really hard.
Eddie is an amazing villain, and the writers seriously did such a great job shaping him, its such a shame he wasnt in the main game and only dlc 😭😭😭 like, the dialogue he says is probably some of the best imo - like the promising what happened to him would never happen to "our" kids all while subjecting us (the player) to unfathomable horrors - simply AMAZING in portraying his character ugh i just love this game man 😭😭
fun fact: the point about how he can't tell that what he's doing is even wrong or evil is actually something that would probably be used in his defense in court.
Part of the requirement for an insanity plea is that the person quite literally has to have no remote notion that what evil thing they did was even evil to begin with. The hangup would be whether he planned things out or not. Like he definitely has a whole set up for doing the things he does, but then he also just kinda does them at random. (Instead of attacking the player immediately when he has them in a locker he takes time to attack someone else for example) and he definitely isn't trying to plan ahead in a way that means he's trying to hide what he's doing.
So it seems like they did a decent job writing him as an inmate at an asylum when it comes to his personality/actions
It's interesting because Eddie's character is absolutely disturbing, but I think it's because he puts men in the same position as I see women put into in horror and in real life. It's the fear of "this person wants to hurt me, they are bigger than me, and they're going to do far worse than just killing me". And yes gore in horror is definitely awful but the fear of violation and sadistic pleasure from your pain and/or mutilation is another level of disturbing we don't see in Horror directed at men often.
Completely fallacious
@Jwizard16McDonald Hey, you're entitled to your own opinion. That's the nice thing about art. Different interruptions due to different perspectives. World wouldn't be interesting if we all lived the same life. Keep on keeping on.
@@abbaddon715 it's not a opinion. In horror men experience way more. Women are just more vocal abt their worries and are irritatingly irrational
@Jwizard16McDonald In the scope of horror fiction, you'll have to blame the writer and director for that one. Sexual brutality and violation in media, especially horror/thriller, have women more sensationalized and sexualized than their male counterparts by a wide margin. Being killed is one thing but being raped and killed is another. Horror writers know that, real life knows that. Hence why it's heinous and often used for shock value. (Or for the perverts out there, keeps them watching their movies).
@@abbaddon715 Your opinion is a byproduct of feminist propaganda that has been shoved down your throat since a very early age. Sexual abuse is nowhere near as horrifying as you make it out to be.

I always find it interesting how a lot of men's biggest fears are of being treated like a woman and wrapping it up in a horror story like Aliens.
Glad I'm not the only one who made the connection to Aliens just now! From how I see it, both Eddie and the xenomorph target men and assault them, turning the victims into husks of their former selves (literally).
That was honestly the only thing I could think of while watching this along with his backstory. In general a lot of people have Grooms back story. I know five people irl including myself with his similar backstory and someone was a guy.
Yet when we see the statistics that pent up aggression and hate isn't directed upon the men that hurt them but other women and children. So Groom's reaction sadly is a pretty common accurate reaction too.
The only thing that puzzles me though, he doesn't have a fear or is wary of other men but I guess everyone to him is a to soon be wife/woman.
@@LlamaeVeresthat's misogyny for you,society highlights male heroes and not female heroes all the time even historical figures they make almost everything about men so while they portray women as the reason for anything evil basically so even tho most s3rial k1llers with bad childhoods in real life were ab4sed by their fathers they always target women maybe because women are more vulnerable but mostly because they blame them for not saving them while the women themselves are in position of power
Aliens is supposed to be horror?!? 🫤
Its wild how they see what happens to women as horrific but only when it happens to them, otherwise its "not that bad" to them.
Crazy, ive never played outlast but the first 30s you played I remembered the setting and aesthetic of it
I feel like, since the opportunity has presented itself, I have to mention my middle school sweetheart turn Ex had a very deep "thing" for Eddie and would often sexualize and fantasize them with me.

The outlast movie just got announced maybe we might see the groom on the big screen as a cameo or Easter egg or something
Gotta be honest, i expected Jimmy from Mouthwashing, considering that the game is blowing up recently
Even Jimmy isn't as vile as Gluskin. You think committing SA against one person is bad? How about DOZENS of women before he got caught, and that's all before he got started in Mount Massive.
jimmy hater 4 life
Oh yeah we hate that guy
Jimmy is bad but hey, at least he's pro choice. I know gluskin isn't. Too early for this joke? maybe...
For the game to have a character like Eddie Gluskin is incredible and terrifying.
His character ties in to how monsters are made; either nature or nurture. In his case, it's nurture as his father and uncle did horrible things to him and his mother did nothing. Then even more so when he's put into that experimentation that corrupted his body and mind, creating the monster we see now.
I was very amazed how they built up his story from the beginning to how he met his end. While I do feel bad for what he went through in the past, it doesn't excuse what he did in Mount Massive.
Great video! Very informative!
I love horror games, but Eddie is one of the few characters to actually make my jaw drop. A few times during his section I couldn't stop myself from covering my mouth in horror. I applaud him for that since not a lot of things can make me feel that uncomfortable. There were only a few parts in Outlast 2 that got a similar reaction, the babies you had to walk on was one of them along with the room where a girl was curled up on the bed weeping after Knoth was "done" with her. Outlast was easily one of my favorite horror games and this video captured why
Eddie is one of my favorite outlast villains, and one of my favorite horror villains in general. Excellent work, thank you for this video
Eddie gave me nightmares when I first entered the Outlast fandom. the way he said "Darling" freaked me out. the way that he is so obsessed of making men into women just to "marry" them. As a woman myself.. men like him freak me out so much. he's top in my list of scary men.

If it wouldn't get him totally demonetised, I would say he needs to do Muraki from the VN/manga/anime Descendants of Darkness.
Necrophilic hospital director with a hero complex who unleashes plagues so he can cure them for good press. The MC starts investigating and just finds more and more horrible things about the guy. Like he picks and chooses who he "saves," killing those who would cause maximum suffering (like the only child of a barren woman, spouses of already depressed or alcoholic patients, the most beloved of a group of siblings) which allows him to console them in such a way as to drain their wealth, and he has hidden cameras throughout to capture every moment of grief. Or that when a favoured patient needs a transplant, he tracks a previously saved patient down and kills them for the organ.
Eventually he learns of the investigation *and falls for the MC!*
And the MC is *male* himself, _but Muraki wants a family...._
One possible path is *he kidnaps and 🍇 your mother* and delivers the baby as "our son," then mindfucks the MC into enjoying being his "wife" and becoming his accomplice (the live action followed this path)
Not only is he epicly deranged _it's implied his kill count is in the 5 digits due to releasing contagious disease so much,_ and he successfully framed numerous colleagues, destroying their lives and careers. _An absolute menace to society from every angle!_ 😬
Also if the child is female it's delivered, killed, and fed back to your mother "until the stupid 🐴 gets it right" 😖
_At least AM only hates you and wants you to suffer!_
Imagine Eddie with the omnipotent detective skills of Batman and the limitless super wealth and scientific knowledge of Tony Stark
And if you pursue an option to kill him, _you find out after the unsuccessful attempt he is in fact, a vampire, and has been doing this since the 6th century_

Because men especially tend to forget how often other men are dangerous. "NOT ALL MEN!" They exclaim.
But we don't know if we're dealing with an Eddie or a Waylon.
And it's not that women can't be as deplorable as men, oh we're all human and capable of deplorable actions. But because the world is mostly men focused, they get the most chances to go and do far worse things.
Like, all too often I feel like guys in general don't understand how depraved other men can be.
I'll never play Outlast. I have a low tolerance for gore and heinous crimes.
But I feel like the developers really nailed it here. They put men in a similar role to what women have a higher chance of experiencing. There's noting salacious or cheap or forced feeling here; it's real and true horror. It's not raw, it's not a nightmare or real life where you really are trapped. But it's a simulation that absolutely shows the pure disparity and sickness that men do.

Omg I knew you were familiar with Outlast ever since the last Riddler video but I'm so excited to see you made a video on Eddie Gluskin!
I love how Eddie is not even a villain name, you would never think about an evil Eddie, and then outlast came out
I think you should play Mouthwashing! Would love to see your analysis on... all of that. Anyways, I never played any of the Outlasts but I watched playthroughs and the only villain I can ever remember is the Groom. He's so utterly terrifying and such a good representation of the very real fears and experiences woman go through. I always found men's reaction to the Groom to be so fascinating.
As a Coloradan I can confirm that there is indeed a big facility buried under Mount Massive.
Horror games with guns are my jam.
I loved the F.E.A.R. series for the feeling you get when all your training and armaments mean very little to the enemy
I still remember my intro to all of this was the waylon and eddie ship
Bruh the moment i saw the thumbnail o reflexively clenched up as i had war flashbacks
So, some speculation about Miles Wallrider seeing Waylin at the end of Whistleblower, notice how the jeep didn't have enough momentum to actually break through the gate.
Miles pushed him through. He wanted Waylin to escape.
Was just rewatching your video on Professor Pyg earlier today, how fitting! And how welcome.
This man will make you his wife and you’re gonna like it mister.🐱
Dang. I very much enjoyed this video. If you did a whole documentary on Outlast, I'd absolutely watch the entire thing. The way you talked about the "asshole" lol. I felt the same when I watched the gameplays over and over.
I have no clue what game we’re talking about right now, and yet I’m completely invested.
Diddo.
