+Ofordgabings Wouldn't they have to extend the game significantly? I have only made it to chapter 3 with a buddy, but doesn't it seem like an autist could memorize most of this?
HSSLNG Teams would play several games and average out the times. People would be competing for most time left, so the margin for error is 0 across multiple bombs. The tournament pressure would be immense. And this would be I am Hardcore, not chapter 3 stuff. Yes, a single person can memorize the entire manual, but ask KrazyCaley on how difficult that is.
I really like the way you play the game. Usually, the people playing it are literally screaming their lungs off, but you guys are very calm and collected, and you speak very methodically, which I love.
I tried playing the game today, and the communication went down through suttering, confusion and a bunch of phrases that were cut halfway through because of some oscillation. Oofies.
It's refreshing to watch people who get this game. If you know how it works, it's very frustrating watching people who don't read the manual properly...
+KentuckyWallChicken I think what frustrates me is when they make a mistake, (for example, thinking the colour of the button determines when it should be released) then get confused that it didn't work, and can't work out what went wrong. It makes you want to shout out "Read the manual carefully! You need to look at the stripe!" EDIT: I think what I want is people to have at least looked at the manual before they start playing (including the Defuser). I've seen too many videos when they clearly have never seen it, with Experts having to read through the whole thing each time, and the Defuser not knowing what information is needed, and having to explain what each module looks like.
+JorWat25 To be fair, they dont give you all the info on the packet either. IE in memory, it doesnt say on the packet that the buttons change positions afaik
+Aikurō Mikisugi Yes, but most of the errors I've seen are people messing up things that are in the manual, like the maze walls being invisible, or the colour of the light strip denoting when to release the button, not the button itself.
I'm going to make the Needy Knob very easy for you. Ignore the right half, just look at the left 2 rows of 3 lights. If 1 or less lights are lit, its left. If a total of 4 lights are lit, it's up. If the lights make a full "U" (so 1, 0, 1 and second row 1, 1, 1) then it's right. Otherwise it's down. Now you can do the Needy Knob in a split second without having to ask. If you have anything else you'd like to be able to do faster let me know and I'll see if I can't simplify them as well :)
+Derek Chapman Doesn't that defeat the purpose? As the leader he's not supposed to know how to defuse any of the bomb parts. He just passes info around.
+NeoFryBoy If they make the modules easy enough for the defuser to memorize, there's no point in wasting time waiting for an answer you already know (from memory, not by cheating by actually reading off the manual).
+Douglas Scott I can simplify that. Imagine it's a Battlefield game. The columns are lettered; first column is A, second column is B, etc. The rows are numbered; first row is 1, second row is 2, etc. If the circles are in fifth column second row and third column fourth row, they are in E2 and C4. Then you say where the triangle and dot are and you're off, as long as your expert(s) isn't/aren't an imbecile(s). That was a lot of compensating for plausible pluralities.
10:42 "The real trick is to solve the bomb before the lights come on." This is actually very doable, it just requires a little luck. You need a press and release button, then guess on simple wires and symbols. It's definitely not easy, especially as you can easily mess up the symbols if you don't know it right off, but absolutely doable. Yes, I know this comment is five years late lmao
I fucking love that it takes three people to solve the hardest bombs in this game, and yet you're managing. This is some Human Hive shit, you guys are amazing.
When you guys do knobs how are you rattling off that information? Weve been trying to figure out a good way to do it and yours seems amazing but I cant catch the trick of it.
+Steve Appleton are you talking about the needy knob? If so I just read the top row where 1 = on, 0 = light off and i read left to right. There are two cases that clash and you need to read the bottom row as well.
+LtHummus lol awesome, the one thing weve really noticed is that complex wires pretty much requires its own person :P at least for us since we're just starting out.
+Steve Appleton Oh I totally get it, my first time with wires I just kind of threw up my hands and went lol wtf. I'm actually toying with the idea of making a couple strategy and deeper discussion videos. I was thinking of making a video about how I do the complex wires since my system takes about 1 second/wire tops, usually less.
Dear god... I looked up "keep talking and nobody explodes calm play" (Copy-pasted) And I got this. This is exactly what I was looking for. ...But now I can't watch anyone else. You are amazing, And i haven't seen anyone else meet your level.
I am obsessed with this game and watching this group of people play it was really entertaining. Like many other commenters, I also appreciated seeing someone play who really understands the purpose and nuances of each module and could solve them efficiently rather than flailing around uselessly or giving unnecessary information.
Knobs: the ONLY thing you have to mention is the FIRST double-on pair of LEDs (light on under another light). They're unique. 3 is up, 2 or none is down, 5 is left, 1 is right. IT's really that easy.
Good little tip to save time on the button is to start with it and hold it down and just give the experts the color of the strip. That way, even if you blow up because you were just supposed to press it, then at least you started with it.
I found this channel surprisingly pleasant and high quality. Strange that you don't have more subscribers (If that is something you strive for). Nice work and I am looking forward to more content.
IMHO the fastest way to do memory is the defuser calling out only the display and the position, and actually remembering the labels pressed. And perhaps also memorizing the last step directions for that purpose, since all of those are about those labels, so that after the fourth step no time is wasted on communication.
My friends and I got this game after seeing AH and you guys do it and beat it that night (except for the exotics) and it is amazing. So much better than going to a movie or something like that.
You guys are amazing. Your communication and execution is so fast and I don't even understand how they can remember everything you say so they can write it down.
31:37 When he says that it was a Simpson reference, was he referring to the time that Homer was working from home because of his obesity? Cause I love that episode.
It's truly amazing, such a simple concept and yet the game devs developed it wonderfully. Basically the ultimate nerve-wracking party game for drunk nerds. Time to get me a copy of this.
I love watching you guys play these, but no matter how often I watch I can't understand the star-space-light thing that you say, you do it so fast. Impressive.
Lots of fun watching you guys play. Bought the game last night because of you and already sunk way too many hours into it. Would love to see/hear some strategy from you and generate some discussion on the most efficient ways for the multitude of problems. Keen to see your next videos, any chance you could pop the stream link somewhere? Is it on twitch or...? This would be an awesome game to jump in on the stream with.
Question: can you just click big buttons at "Magic moments" on the timer like 1:45, 1:54, 4:15, 4:51, 5:14 ? Save time having to figure them out? or do you have to initiate the strip by holding for a bit?
+mrklin99 Sometimes you have to press and immediately release the big buttons. If you hold it down, regardless of the color you get, you'll get a strike when you release it.
Hey, I have a few questions about needy modules: 1) How many seconds does each start with? The capacitor seems to be 45 and the knob 40 (or 39?)... 2) Does the gas-venting one reset all the way when you vent the gas, or does venting just add a certain number of seconds? 3) Does the knob one only change its "up" position upon reactivation, or can it happen while the timer is ticking down? How about the LED configuration?
If you don' t want to make the manual too cheesed out with complex wires, at LEAST just mark the circles for blue and red with a blue and red marker/colored pencil should help a lot.
Wow, you guys are the best for me to watch because your communication is amazing! I enjoy these videos but I understand you guys are really experienced so that probably why xx
"i got a bigass button" and the way you said it made me laugh so hard (not saying your voice was weird i meant like how you said "i got a bigass button" made me laugh

Where was he looking for the dot's? 7:04 I get how the rest of these work but he said Morse code and then read out dot's that I couldn't see anywhere. WHERE ARE THE DOTS?
Ad SJB in Morse Code you read the flashes as either dots or dashes, short flashes being dots and long flashes being dashes. When he said dot dot dot those were 3 short flashes and that’s the letter S.
When doing the 1-2-3/A-B-C wires do they not need to know from where is the wire going? Like they say blue to B, never saying like blue going from two to B etc.
lol im just about to start the game, its going to be way different to how u guys are doing it, the communication is amazing, i wish i could get a team as great as yours (i barely know any of the modules, i just like to see how experts do it :p)
Do you have a link to your stream? I'd love to join in sometime and watch! EDIT: Oops, found it on your twitter. Along with everything else. I'll go there then! Everyone looking at this, go to his twitter!
Instead of saying the color of the wire to the letter it's alot faster to just say the color and the other person just say the letters it associated to. It can easily be beat within 15 to 20 seconds that way.
Soooo...the bomb defusal expert never thought to bring a flashlight with him/her for illuminating crevices and fine details that would also alleviate the darkness issue? Just sayin...
He's not exactly the expert... He's communicating with the experts. As regarding the abscence of flashlights, it's proposital, I think; it adds to the game's experience (it's just a game after all, haha)
They should do tournaments with this game. They could set up rules such as how big teams can be.
+Ofordgabings I want to see a game with 50 experts and one defuser
+Ofordgabings Wouldn't they have to extend the game significantly? I have only made it to chapter 3 with a buddy, but doesn't it seem like an autist could memorize most of this?
+HSSLNG They can just release a new manual with different rules. :)
Vanja Grujic
i think the game should randomly generate manuals using a seed that you have to send to the expert
HSSLNG Teams would play several games and average out the times. People would be competing for most time left, so the margin for error is 0 across multiple bombs. The tournament pressure would be immense. And this would be I am Hardcore, not chapter 3 stuff. Yes, a single person can memorize the entire manual, but ask KrazyCaley on how difficult that is.
41:50 "No vowel in the serial number"
Looks like "U" made a big mistake there.
oof
oof
Best joke
👏👏👏👏
SneakySneasel
No sarcasm
The professionalism in this just amazes me...
They are way more organized than my life would ever be
Go watch Elevator of doom that is even crazier
I think he made (or at least contributed heavily to) the game.
I really like the way you play the game. Usually, the people playing it are literally screaming their lungs off, but you guys are very calm and collected, and you speak very methodically, which I love.
The letters or the words? "yep"
What time did they say that
+J_k10 12:25
A true logician.
Mr. Vulcanator great english...
r/InclusiveOr
The communication is so freakin good
I know, it’s amazing. This stuff sounds like it’s from a spy movie!
Yh, itz mad
I tried playing the game today, and the communication went down through suttering, confusion and a bunch of phrases that were cut halfway through because of some oscillation. Oofies.
It's refreshing to watch people who get this game. If you know how it works, it's very frustrating watching people who don't read the manual properly...
Keep in mind, nobody's going to fully understand the manual at first. It takes practice and trial and error.
+KentuckyWallChicken I think what frustrates me is when they make a mistake, (for example, thinking the colour of the button determines when it should be released) then get confused that it didn't work, and can't work out what went wrong. It makes you want to shout out "Read the manual carefully! You need to look at the stripe!"
EDIT: I think what I want is people to have at least looked at the manual before they start playing (including the Defuser). I've seen too many videos when they clearly have never seen it, with Experts having to read through the whole thing each time, and the Defuser not knowing what information is needed, and having to explain what each module looks like.
+JorWat25 To be fair, they dont give you all the info on the packet either. IE in memory, it doesnt say on the packet that the buttons change positions afaik
+Aikurō Mikisugi Yes, but most of the errors I've seen are people messing up things that are in the manual, like the maze walls being invisible, or the colour of the light strip denoting when to release the button, not the button itself.
+JorWat25 Its amazing when they dont understand, i just watched Sodapoppin playing and raging like a lil kid

+NeoFryBoy If they make the modules easy enough for the defuser to memorize, there's no point in wasting time waiting for an answer you already know (from memory, not by cheating by actually reading off the manual).
+Ofordgabings Same way with some of the complicated wires, like how some of them such as just blank, white, no LED are always cut
+Derek Chapman Could you simplify Mazes for me? I have trouble conveying the co-ords of the circles, square and the triangle.
+Douglas Scott I can simplify that.
Imagine it's a Battlefield game. The columns are lettered; first column is A, second column is B, etc. The rows are numbered; first row is 1, second row is 2, etc. If the circles are in fifth column second row and third column fourth row, they are in E2 and C4. Then you say where the triangle and dot are and you're off, as long as your expert(s) isn't/aren't an imbecile(s).
That was a lot of compensating for plausible pluralities.

That Hardcore defusal was intense.
You guys really need better names for each of the greek letters on keypad.
Jeez you guys are so calm and collected when playing this game compared to other youtubers.
You know a game is weird when experting makes you a better defuser
I wonder if theres anyone crazy enough to memorize everything so they can do any bomb solo.
the smartest are the laziest i hear. the world is full of geniuses, but they don't bother to learn anything useful or otherwise.
I don't have the game. Guess I'll just read the manual.
Because they know it's futile in the end.
heyyyyyynow Good point.
I think KrazyCaley has done bombs memorized before
This is awesome. Your hardcore video where you had 0.71secs left made me buy this game. Thanks :D
When you guys do knobs how are you rattling off that information? Weve been trying to figure out a good way to do it and yours seems amazing but I cant catch the trick of it.
+Steve Appleton are you talking about the needy knob? If so I just read the top row where 1 = on, 0 = light off and i read left to right. There are two cases that clash and you need to read the bottom row as well.

+Steve Appleton No problem! I love talking strategy in this game :)

Like many other commenters, I also appreciated seeing someone play who really understands the purpose and nuances of each module and could solve them efficiently rather than flailing around uselessly or giving unnecessary information.
yeah it’s so sad it’s lost popularity, be so cool if it gained popularity again
One minute in and I can already tell that those guys are pros.
This is the best teamwork I have ever seen.
U is a vowel :P
+RichieDcik U is a vowel and SPILL is not a word in passwords :)
+RichieDcik When he said there was no vowel I cringed.
No, U are @JimG

“I have exactly 2 batteries” *has 4 batteries*
They haven't put a button on the opposite side of the clock. You would have to count the beeps to time it for release.
I found this channel surprisingly pleasant and high quality. Strange that you don't have more subscribers (If that is something you strive for). Nice work and I am looking forward to more content.

+Chase Homan The manual even says the module could be handled by a drinking bird
It's truly amazing, such a simple concept and yet the game devs developed it wonderfully. Basically the ultimate nerve-wracking party game for drunk nerds.
Time to get me a copy of this.
Hardcore indeed. Great video.
I love watching you guys play these, but no matter how often I watch I can't understand the star-space-light thing that you say, you do it so fast. Impressive.
I think "space" just means "move on to the next wire" and he only give necessary wire
Lots of fun watching you guys play. Bought the game last night because of you and already sunk way too many hours into it. Would love to see/hear some strategy from you and generate some discussion on the most efficient ways for the multitude of problems. Keen to see your next videos, any chance you could pop the stream link somewhere? Is it on twitch or...? This would be an awesome game to jump in on the stream with.

This is amazing! You guys are a well oiled machine
They way you guys handle the complex wires is absolutely insane!
I would have forgotten all info by the third wire.
+MastersOfTheWinds They don't memorize it, they write it down.
+Josh Martin the game should come with a 200 page notebook
It's really cool. Almost like an assembly line where you have one person on each job, you have one person for each module.
this was really fun to watch!
I work terribly under pressure and I have terrible perception. Time to buy this game.
I have watched so many of these videos that I have at least half of the manual memorized.
Wow I sucked last year
You guys are really good at this game, i guess it could help having more than one person on the manual...
I'll definetly try that out
If you don' t want to make the manual too cheesed out with complex wires, at LEAST just mark the circles for blue and red with a blue and red marker/colored pencil should help a lot.
14:34 "Yes?" "No."
With such a serious face!!!
Is it possible to defuse the hard bombs with 2 players? (I mean only 1 'expert')
7 months later but yes i did it with my cousin, 9 seconds left on I am Hardcore
FedePWNI
I did it too with my friend!
(I was the expert, eheh)
you look like steve carrel with a beard
Watch the movie: Evan Almighty
Damn thats your warm up?! Dude, respect
Wow, you guys are the best for me to watch because your communication is amazing! I enjoy these videos but I understand you guys are really experienced so that probably why xx
this is actually amazing
Jesus. You guys are like professionals at this.
At first i was bored, but watching the hardcore one is pretty fun.
20:28 Wait, God is helping him with the knob??
Your teamwork is fucking amazing.
You guys are both good at this game and also really funny. "The letters or the words?" "....... Yes." "Yes." *facepalm*

At 42:11, you did hit blue twice as the light did extinguish. And there was a vowel (U) (41:54).
he said left... turns it right then explodes and hes like WOT
Realistically speaking, this bomb must be stupendously heavy.

Hey, if
You
Go outta the bomb and go left, you can counter lights
Out
You guys should do an opposite day round.
Either you or your teammates say the opposite of what it is/what to do
Where was he looking for the dot's? 7:04
I get how the rest of these work but he said Morse code and then read out dot's that I couldn't see anywhere. WHERE ARE THE DOTS?
Ad SJB in Morse Code you read the flashes as either dots or dashes, short flashes being dots and long flashes being dashes. When he said dot dot dot those were 3 short flashes and that’s the letter S.
2000th like! This game is so sick when it gets difficult
You guys are a TEAM!
"i have a knob for you, you ready for this knob?"
What is your twitch? Or whatever it is you stream with?
7:40 "We're done warming up, right?"
Me: That was a warm up?! O-o
So casual
Have u seen the Centurion or Praetorian?
If you say alright one more time my head will literally explode.
When doing the 1-2-3/A-B-C wires do they not need to know from where is the wire going? Like they say blue to B, never saying like blue going from two to B etc.
***** I see, thanks for clearing it up for me!
lol im just about to start the game, its going to be way different to how u guys are doing it, the communication is amazing, i wish i could get a team as great as yours (i barely know any of the modules, i just like to see how experts do it :p)
Do you have a link to your stream? I'd love to join in sometime and watch!
EDIT: Oops, found it on your twitter. Along with everything else. I'll go there then! Everyone looking at this, go to his twitter!
This game is intense to watch......
I gotta play it with my friends who get scared easily.
Holy shit, I just watched the entire thing. It was worth it though
You guys sound like actual professionals
everything is beautiful.
Instead of saying the color of the wire to the letter it's alot faster to just say the color and the other person just say the letters it associated to. It can easily be beat within 15 to 20 seconds that way.
Soooo...the bomb defusal expert never thought to bring a flashlight with him/her for illuminating crevices and fine details that would also alleviate the darkness issue?
Just sayin...
He's not exactly the expert... He's communicating with the experts. As regarding the abscence of flashlights, it's proposital, I think; it adds to the game's experience (it's just a game after all, haha)
