2023: A Space Comedy Edit addition: The Carrie cut to control at 25:21 was out of this world. (Especially with the radio static over comms, a stellar attention to detail)
"How are our new space station engineers doing?" - "Well, in a span of 20 minutes they've broken off one of the levers, awkwardly wiggled in place hoping it would propel them forwards, gotten stuck in a door on the way through and vented out all the oxygen inside the station through the airlock." - "Huh. Well, that somehow still makes them the best engineers we ever had"
I felt in my soul "I hate left and right as a concept". I'm with you Carrie, I never could tell left/right until I was like 25 after like three years of practicing tai chi, making a fool of myself and slowly reorienting. Being told again and again as child "right is the side of the hand with which you write" permanently crosswired my brain, because, you know, I was a leftie.
I only even halfway got the hang of it because someone pointed out to kid-me that if you hold your left hand flat in front of you and move your thumb down to the side you get a capital L. I still have to stop and check from time to time. 😅
I don't know what's funnier: Carrie shutting the door on herself, because she didn't grab stuff... shortly after saying that grabbing things was a bad idea. Dan not understanding how an airlock works and venting the station in spite of alarm bells.
With Newtonian physics you would not be able to propel yourself even slightly with midair kicks, and also air resistance would mean you lose velocity, so it would be quite possible to become stranded in the centre of the station inable to reach any walls. This is a real thing, fortunately astronauts are never alone on a spaceship so they can just yell for someone else to pull them to the side again if they get stuck. Also throwing something would propel you in the opposite direction.
Me and my friend 100% completed this game on Newtonian mode over a weekend, and I feel like we came out of it like people who've been out at sea for a little too long. Whatever scraps of humanity we had going in did not survive the journey.
To quote a famous European dance song: "Danger and dance, clapping the hands, when we out in the space." 13:30: Anyone else remember Tacoma? 22:10: Fun fact-in real life, there would be a brief breeze, but no sustained suction. There just isn't enough air in the capsule for this dramatic vacuum effect to work like that. 35:10: Hear that? Carrie likes space better than Earth. She must be adjusting well to her astronaut duties!
Luckily (?) the space station appears to have a highly efficient air-generator somewhere that replenishes the non-airlock atmosphere as fast as it can blast into space. Of course, in real life, that would also be blasting the station into a new orbit...
I think you two would really enjoy Heave Ho on Switch! It's a co-op game like this where you navigate obstacle courses by grabbing hands and swinging each other!
Grabby grab, flippy turn... let's be real, many of us would have our language devolve similarly in this situation. 😂 I feel like this was a weirdly "brains and brawn" situation for these two. Carrie was way on top of problem solving, but Dan was way more coordinated! Lol!
Wish you played this on PS5, this is one of the few games that actually takes advantage of the Dualsense. Speaking of the PS5, Dan, think you could stream Astro's Playroom at some point? The game is a lot of fun for a game bundled with the console.
How does it use the Dualsense? Also, what's with the Dualsense? I read a bit of marketing BS talking about haptic feedback as though it were something innovative and not something cheap phones have too, and that evaporated any interest I had in researching that chunk of plastic.
@@timothymclean Nah, the Dualsense is actually amazing. The haptics are very precise, and the triggers can be adjusted in a lot of ways to, for instance, make them harder to press, or have them only cause resistance at a certain point. You can get one for PC if you want, since there's a bunch of games that support it and showcase it well, like Ratched and Clank, Returnal, Sackboy and Death Stranding: Director's Cut. Obviously, I can't really recommend getting one for just a few games (especially since there's no generic support for all games, though you can play them through Steam), but you really need to try ro see what it can do.
Carrie I hope you don't mind me asking but are you dyslexic? If you are it would help explain the difficulties with left and right, I know that for me playing a game like this is extra levels of frustration
That cut back to Mission Control with Carrie's "grabby-grab and flippy-turn" chatter was hilarious.
Agreed.
I -lost it- at the first staticky “…grabby grab??”
That made me laugh so hard I got dizzy 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Came here to say this. Me and my daughter were crying with laughter.

Carrie, the cut away to Mission Control was brilliant
I don't know what's funnier:

My favorite part of Sunday mornings is watching Dan and Carrie play games.
"I don't want to do math in space" Carrie when I learned as a kid that most of what astronauts do is math my dreams died
I would give this more likes to cheer Carrie on. Keeping such a positive attitude in the face of challenges!
2:45 this is probably the cutest laugh I've heard from Carrie.
Dan and the most favorite difficulty modifier!
Yes, our MOSTEST Favorite.

“In space no one can see you fail!”
I love these Sunday co-op videos! It so sweet and cute. Y’all are lovely.
Anything you two play together is always guaranteed to be highly entertaining. I am eagerly awaiting to see the next game.
25:19: Full belly cackle at this joke, can't wait to see it again in a future highlights reel.

Always nice to have some Dan & Carrie as a break from dealing with difficult people around something that is supposed to be fun.
The Coffee gods CURSE you, "everything we were taught at space camp" as I was drinking coffee. Coffee does NOT nose. Coffee NOSE bad!
I did not expect space QWOP, but I am enjoying space QWOP
Ha! That's the first place my mind went. And so did my browser.
QWOP might be a fun challenge for a future "battle of the dans"?
I would love to see this end up as a full let's play at some point. A co-op with Carrie if possible!
8:22 Carrie is the cutest space baby.😂 Maybe she will learn to crawl soon.
25:20 absolutely brilliant 😆
14:20 Being a gamer
This whole video is pure gold
Since Mission control for the ISS is 100 feet from my office, I will NOT be suggesting you for the astronaut corp.
Is it possible for an entire half-hour video to go into the highlight reel? Because this one might be the first.
Kicky kick!
Grabby Grab!
Ground control to Major Dan?
Yes, this is entertaining. In a sort of, "thank god that's not me" kind of way. 😆

I would love to play this with a friend.
If only I had one
Sundays are best days
This really is the weekend of games with difficult controls, huh?
Competent _and_ cooperative? I don't feel I could operate in such a high-stress environment
I think we need more Mission Control moments, even if it’s from other games. 😂
I have found a rare Kickygrab and a shiny one. Pokeball go -_-
Let it be know that Carrie is indeed NOT a space cadet. Confirmed
ground control to Major Carrie
Mount Your Friends in Spaaaace!
instantly getting this for my partner and me, this is amazing thank you guys for covering it 💕
Grabby grab reach grab…. ❤
Who remembers him from Extra History?
Putting the past aside, I really appreciate your voice and content. Keep up the good work.
I remember him from Extra Credits, before Extra History was a thing.
As funny as this was, I appreciate the frequent cuts.
Oh I loved it. Interesting game and I needed a good laugh and some sweet moments and got it both here 😊.
Welcome to Rain World Five Pebbles lmao
Right hand and left hand are the wrong way round.
Or the helmets are on backwards.
