One thing I should mention about my friendly neighborhood's inventory system: the game won't let you discard any keys until you've completely exhausted their usefulness, by that I mean unlocked everything you can unlock with them. So when you click on a key item of any kind and see the 'discard' option pop up, that means you're safe to chuck it and free up some inventory space.
You can also tell in this video that 'fully used' items will have a checkmark on them. This counts for most key items (like keys obviously) as once you use the key to open all types, you'll see the circle with a checkmark on the item showing that it's fully used up. I think you only use the boltcutters like twice, if that, so knowing you can toss such a large item without issues helps a lot. Bit faster to look for the mark than individually checking.
@@karmicrespite5737 Yeah this is what bothered me about him complaining about the inventory management since he never figured out that the game actually tells you when the game is done with a specific key item and can just be tossed.
That's amazing
Bumbles using the Garten of Banban segment to talk about new indie games is such a fucking power move.
I would've never know that there was a spiritual successor of custom robo if he didn't that, so I appreciate it even more
im the 500th like
Seeing Dodgeball Academia felt amazing because I played it through and felt hollow about there being no more to do with it and no reason to talk about it in my life.
Calling Garten of Banban ‘Arven of Bad Dad’ and then showing footage of Professor Turo shouldn’t have made me laugh as much as it did.
I can't believe it took me until the whole video was over to get this joke
@@Dudeman23rd it took me until this comment to realize that joke
I still don’t get it because I don’t play Pokémon
It’s about 3 minutes in for those curious
@@eggroll_5663 The character that was shown in the footage is the neglectful father of a character called Arven.
Deeply appreciate the stealth episode of Indie Game Roundup that came free with my trick-or-treat candy.
This guy gets it
@@bumblesmcfumblesspeaking of indie titles, Pizza Tower Halloween update is out. Can we get a video please?
@@Arcana_zero_studiosIt's probably gonna be included to comical effect when the inevitable Christmas update comes out
I love how the joke for Banban was to show cool upcoming games that people probably ahvnt heard about. Slave Zero X is something that gets my fancy real quick.
It's probably the best way to go about that kind of thing too, redirect focus to lesser known titles in order to spend one's time in better ways and give the fledglings a better chance at getting their name out there.
In terms of hack-and-slash games, there was last year's Soulstice and there is an upcoming one by name of Genokids. Both 3D rather than 2D though.
@@jurtheorc8117I saw a furry prison simulator, what was that about?
Back to the dawn, super fun prison based RPG where you play as a journalist who gets arrested and you have to try and escape
@@bumblesmcfumbles ah good to know. I hope nothing bad happens! That’d be bad.
@@bumblesmcfumbles Amanda the adventurer 2 got announced
45:12 Fun fact: THATS TRUE. The voice director, youtuber and voice actor Jelloapocalypse, said in a stream that the direction for Gordon waa to act as if all of this is completely normal, and he's done all of this before
Wait, did Jello voice Gordon?
no, jello was the voice director. he was the one who was basically telling the voice actors how to say their lines, with what tone, emotion, accent, etc.
@@Itslazi Gotcha. I do know what a Voice Director is, I just didn't know what's what he did. That's awesome though!
Jello was the voice director?!?
Which is to say, the rule of thumb of the Jim Henson workshop. When working with Muppets or Sesame Street characters, the human is always to address the puppet, and basically treat them like they're an actual person you're talking to. Nobody ever questions why there are giant birds, fuzzy monsters, or talking frogs walking around. They just are.
You really gave Banban the disrespect it deserves.
Like I get it. It is basically one self taught persons passion project. While no, it’s not good, I do hope they keep at it. I think they have potential to do great things in the future.
He sure as hell didn’t give bendy the respect it actually deserves
@@blockotheblock5672 I agree. He gave it too much respect.
@@jackstar7204 *insert laugh track*
@@blockotheblock5672Aww what’s wrong can the big baby not handle someone not liking a game
I cannot get over the fact that the studio behind Bendy named themselves after the guy who was supposed to be the horrible villain in the game.
It's like if the studio behind Bioshock named themselves "The Andrew Ryan foundation"
Buy our game, would you kindly?
In an ironic twist of fate, the studio did actually get caught in a series of controversies involving the mismanagement and mistreatment of its employees. The developers of BATIM would face criticism from former employees who were the victims of a layoff, who stated that they tended to ignore the concerns of more experienced workers, not being upfront about the unclear future of the company, and long periods of time where no work was done due to the board being difficult to contact.
@@Noelle_Holiday Oh I know. I just find it really funny just how little self aware they are
@@jonathanrussell8998I would honestly
Literally like if Steelwool Studios named themselves ‘Freddy Fazbear Studios’
I feel so bad for Amanda and MFN, both are great games that got overshadowed by worse releases that either came shortly after or before.
For good reason cause I found bendy dark revival better
@@blockotheblock5672 :’)
@@blockotheblock5672trash
@@blockotheblock5672Honestly, I find Dark Revival a REAL mixed bag. Shame it overshadowed ATA.
@@ChaseVaccaro-ge3gkI legit can’t see why that’s an issue. Bendy has very high production value, has a lot to do and just overall better content
"His power is infinite" they say, as he fails to climb through a gap in the wall and kill you instantaneously.
or fails to open a door that his arm is already on the other side off
I love how the best ending in Amanda the Adventurer is putting a brick through the TV. Why didn't they think to try that in The Ring?
Hey! TVs are expensive! I’d at least try turning off the tv first.
I like the cartoonish amount of hang time the tv had after reeling backwards from the explosion. The little things you wouldn’t expect from a horror game.
Why didn't i just pull the pocket brick i keep with me at all times!
Honestly, talking about other completely unrelated games is exactly the amount of respect Ban Ban deserves.
One of the few things i despised about dark revival was how it gaslit the community, you see joey drew studios were compared to joey drew himself, being egotisitcal and awful to their employees, so in the dark revival they turned joey into a loving sympathic boss who only wanted to do whats best and got lost in the game, aka trying to turn joey drew into a good person so any comparsion of the real life joey drew studios and the ficitonal joey drew was much more favorable. It's scummy as hell and the community lapped it up and clapped
I think people thought "ITs not the same guy" and just ran with it.
I just chalked it up to joey being nice before the work corrupted him.
Like the onceler.
Is it Dev's trying to look good? Yes. Is it an attempt that actually did it's job? ABSOLUTELY NOT! Not just in "No ones gonna believe it" kind of way but if you actually look into the story and try to find something more behind Joeys words this game just makes Joey look even worse.
Or it is joey trying to make joey seem good because it joey, bad guy want make bad guy look like good guy so not seem like bad guy even though bad guy is actually bad guy
big misconception, most of if not all of the pain the company caused was primarily by mike, who wasn't even credited in dark revival
still fucked up as shit tho@@ssomenerdd
i would say christmas came early, but i don’t want to get shot. happy halloween.
Then how come it's snowing where I live
@@Dinomonkey811it’s always Christmas at the North Pole
Man Christmas isn’t even on a saturday either.
What a crime. We really should take over the calendar factory
*puts down the gun* you’re safe…for now
I need more videos of ‘Bumbles Recommendations’ cause those games mentioned at the start added to my wishlist.
Dude, same. I had to pause and rewatch the video multiple times so i could go and download the demos.
Upon my last doctors check up they called me a viral horror, but you don't seem me getting attention for it. I just get attention for my ability to drink raw sewage without any negative repercussions.
MFN also varies heavily on difficulty, easy is "oh my god i have too much shit"
Meanwhile unfriendly is "holy shit i have too much space"
that's because unfriendly has zero ammo pickups in the game LOL
You clever bastard Jack I tried to put the playback speed to 0.25 to hear the lore of Amanda the Adventurer and it was still too fast to comprehend. Well played.
I did the same lmao
Wait he was talking about the lore?
@@dusty0896 The world will never know.
Now to be perfectly fair, there is a way to make Nemesis go away whenever I want: it's called a Handgrenade
I wanna say after the Who's Lila? segment I mediately went and looked for a "story explained" video (I am a wuss when it comes to horror games ok) and the only video was nearly 8 fucking hours long so yeah this game is something else
That video was a masterpiece
The kingdom hearts of horror games!
@@GreenEyedPsychothat'd be FNAF. Confusing, long timeline and weird inconsistent recurring characters included.
Jesús christ. where
Honestly just by seeing snippets of gameplay, My Friendly Neighborhood seems to be what Dark Revival wishes it could be. Where Dark Revival pretty much stole from Bioshock, Friendly Neighborhood drew inspiration while adding some Muppets charm as a bonus. Where Dark Revival wastes time with pointless stealth, mind numbing puzzles and Hello Neighbor backtracking, Friendly Neighborhood has you think through encounters and respects the player's time and intelligence. Where Dark Revival contrives exposition and plot points to either give an illusion of a story or exist as theory fodder, Friendly Neighborhood is organic with its storytelling and doesn't force the extra world building down your throat.
It's also worth mentioning that the living puppets aren't pointed out as weird, which implies that talking puppets are just a thing in this world.
@@ethanedwards3357fully sentient too. Imagine putting two googly eyes on a sock and suddenly it starts speaking
I think you're missing the part where MFN is resident evil, not bioshock
@@ExValeFor I'll be honest and say that I've never played or seen gameplay of Bioshock. I just see first person Resident Evil and think Bioshock because of it.
@@cubix_walrus7560Is Dark Revival a bad game
THE KNOCKING GOT ME TWICE, COME ON MAN
I still love how instead of talking about Garten of Banban, he just talks about games that aren’t even horror adjacent but are just better games lol
The new bendy game is “we have bioshock at home, for kids”. Which is a choice.
which is impressive considering Bioshock is System Shock 2 at home
You know, judging by the brief clips of FNAF Security Breach’s DLC in the intro, I was kinda expecting you to cover that, but after seeing how well the final couple games turned out and how much you enjoyed them, I don’t mind this in the least! You always cook something up with these compilation styled videos, man.
As one of the three people who played Dodgeball Academia (those being me, you and the Top 10 Best Obscure 3DS Games article author), I was pleasantly surprised to see it mentioned! It's a super charming game that definitely deserves more attention
I love how in the Bendy section he put epic mickey music really sets the mood
We let banban become popular.
What have we done?
WHAT HAVE WE DOOOOOOOOOONE?!!
Halloween not being on a saturday really is the scariest part of the video.
Man put out more effort into the Garten of Banban review than the developers put effort into the game.
37:34
Jack, I need you to know it was your Bumbles McRumbles videos that got me into pro wrestling about a year ago. And since then, I’ve gotten so deep I immediately recognized that pronunciation of “Directly” as coming from The Rock when Jericho made his WWF Debut
I love how little Bumble cared about Garten of BanBan lmao
Bumbles and Pastra are on complete opposite sides of the Bendy spectrum
Helpful tip for My Friendly Neighborhood: If there’s a checkmark next to an item in your case, that means you don’t need it anymore.
Benis and the Dark Revival kinda looks like they wanted to turn it into bioshock for some reason and failed really hard at that.
Your first bioshock weapon? A pipe wrench. Your first Bendy weapon? A pipe. Coincidence? Yes.
What do you mean "Turn"? The first game already had so many things taken from bioshock that calling it a copy wouldn't be entirely wrong. And I Say it as a bendy fan
The worst part is that they didn't even do any of the things that made Bioshock good
it's like Bioshock mixed with Dishonored
@@stellarlight1387Bioshock isn't even that good it's just a worse System Shock 2
A feature length video? NOW it's a Halloween special. Thank you for the halloween treat,Jack.
My Friendly Neighborhood is one of my favorite horror games because the puppets are just a natural part of the word and dont actually want you dead (until the end but shh). They are just people with deep trauma that have been abandoned by the people that wouldve helped them. They dont want to hurt you, most are just so excited to see a human and forget their own strength. Its really refreshing to have a story that involves notmally inanimate things that are alive that isnt "they have dead people in them and they want to kill you out of revenge"
I blame Cawthon for starting this trope. I don't care if it actually started somewhere else, I'm mad at Scott for popularizing it.
@ChaseVaccaro-ge3gk better to be mad at everyone copying it to try and get his level of success, cuz 9/10 times it's done poorly and that is the devs fault 100%
The true horror of Amanda the Adventurer is what happens when you look it up on TH-cam Shorts
Probably something Horriflying

44:28 My friendly neighborhood (Who)
1:02:31 Who's Lila? (I SHIT MA PANTS!)
“TH-cam kids sensation” -_-
Imma be real, I like listening to you talk about games you like more than ones you don't lol. This was great, and I'm interested in trying some of these games myself.
People really like hearing people talk negatively, but it's just draining. I like being positive
Agreed. Positivity is cool! Negativity can be *funnier*, but positivity is more *interesting*.
My favorite kind of positivity is the kind where someone really delves into why they like something, really infecting you with enthusiasm.
Whereas my favorite kind of negative is to just be honest, but brief. Telling someone why you dont like something without unnecessarily dwelling on things.
I feel like jack tends to hit both of these pretty well.
...Unless we talk about the fnaf cut that one was really funny
Good news, Bumbles. October will be on a Saturday in 2026. So if we still exist by then, things will finally line up for you! :D
EDIT: October THIRTY-FIRST will be on a Saturday in 2026.
All of October on a single saturday? Oh man, I better mark my calendar- that's a lot of weekend time!
@@mordestar5777 ...Ya ever type something and think you included something with your post and then look back and realize you only thought a word and didn't type it?
@@afallenangel753all the
we don't talk enough about Jack purposefully adding knocking sounds that are specifically on certain sides of your headphones in a Halloween episode is evil as fuck
The possessed TV Ending in Amanda is legitimately one of the creepiest things I've ever seen in a horror game. It is so well done.
I think the best thing in the ending is also just Amanda slowly losing her distortion until it sounds like she's right behind you when she says "I'm out there. Somewhere."
the intro cutting to green screen implies that it was being live filmed despite noone being on screen which is hilarious
Garden of ban ban is certainly a thing that exists, it is something that exists in the world, and is made of lines of code and data. Truly a thing
"I accept that you exist. I don't have to accept what you are, but your physical existence, I'll give you that."
@@blackheartzerotheundergrou3225 the only way to talk about that “thing” is too never to say it’s name, and just pretend that it’s like a ghost or something
I screamed when you brought up Who’s Lila. It’s one of my favourites of all time and I’m ecstatic any time I see someone talk about it. Lila is the mystery of not knowing who Lila is.
I was really into Bendy and the Ink Machine when I was a pretty young teenager, and even though I'm distinctly aware that it's bad, I felt that BATDR improved on it while not actually taking advantage of the potential, and the good, that was set up in the first game. It just feels like they leaned into the Bioshock angle but forgot to keep the... you know, Bendy?
I enjoy the amount of references to "Woolie the liar stole my pie"
Bumbles can never hide that he is one of us
I wish Jack would talk about tattletail. Legitimately the best mascot horror game
It’s alright. Nothing to create a fandom for, but it’s okay.
@@Name_manThe original version was good. When they added that memory or whatever it was section is what ruined it.
I do appreciate you talking about Bendy, even if you hated it. It’s good to hear multiple views on media, especially when those views are actually well thought out and explained.
I mostly enjoy the visuals in character design and environments (it’s strongest suit in my opinion) and glad this game was actually a complete package opposed to chapters, which helped the story be more coherent and feel fully thought out opposed to original with story threads dropped in the end due to story was made as the chapters were.
But I can agree with many of your criticisms of the game. I wish the game was being handled by better people sadly.
Also so glad hearing more praise for Amanda and Neighborhood as I’m excited for Amanda’s second enstallment and look forward to the neighborhood dev’s next project
I think the Bendy franchise is a fantastic example of how great art style and presentation can sell a game but it can't carry it too hard where everything else is just... lacking.
Don't get me wrong, there are very interesting and solid concepts, and looks really great but it just feels very empty. For a horror game it sure doesn't feel like there is much threat at all (I wish Bendy should've acted more like the Xenomorph from Alien Isolation, where he pursues you throughout the game), the lore doesn't compliment the game at all instead it's just plain confusing for the sake of it, characters aren't well-developed... In the end, I think the game as a whole is perfectly fine by itself (even for Mascot Horror standards) but it almost feels like it could have been something greater. It's a game that seriously benefits from a development team with proper vision and direction in my opinion.
43:37
"His power is infinite"
And yet he somehow can't find you hiding in that spot
That's like hiding in your kitchen cabinet in hide and seek and leaving the door open
thought batdr was a massive improvement on the first one, quicker running speed, unique abilities which i used a lot and the visuals are crazy good. characters are much more explored too, especially audrey and joey's reltionship
Plus they didn't repeat the mistakes of the first game:
*They released the game complete, not episodically. As a result, they had a plan for the story instead of writing it one chapter at a time.
*The story is a lot more coherent, no plot holes and everything gets explained.
*They kept quiet about the game's production after the first year, last big news we got before release was a new trailer a WEEK before it released.
*Bugs and glitches are minimal, and none of them are game-breaking at all.
*Improved combat, more emphasis on exploration, doesn't heavily rely on fetch quests.
It's not hard to improve on garbage
@@ExValeFor either way a lot of passion goin in, always upgrading but keeping the merits the other had
can't wait for viral horror 3!!!!!!
(thank you bumbles mc fumbles for giving me something to look forward to this spooky season)
OoooOOOooooOoo spooooooky Jack tiiime
But fr hearing him even mention GarageBand of Dahr Mann was true horror
Just letting you know for my friendly neighborhood if an item has a check mark near it you can just dispose of it
Ah yes my favorite punch out guy talks about Garten of Peakpeak
I’m very glad that Amanda and My Friendly Neighborhood are well received. It really feels like devs are trying to take mascot horror somewhere great, rather then just abandoning the concept. FNAF worked for a reason, even if the execution was lacking. Let’s explore it, make it better, and create more amazing games. Let’s push the envelope and use mascot horror as a baseline for creativity and fun.
Ban Ban on the other hand makes me want to cry.
When I thought of a Bumbles McFumbles Halloween special, I thought about random creepy places in video games, this is a surprise, but a welcome one at that.
Also, I need whatever that barn in the zoo episode is having. That guy is on another plane of existence.
Mental note, never ask Bumbles to help with facial expressions ever again. Asked him one time and then he had to butt into the rest of my day.
This guy puts a random knocking sound at a random point in each one of his Halloween specials, and it gets me EVERY TIME!
Legitimately surprised that Wooly the liar didn't steal that pie
He stole 40
@@bumblesmcfumbles That's as many as four tens!
@@Silburificand that’s terrible
Most useful review of BanBan on the platform!
Oh boy, a feature length video on my favorite game, Gaten of Banban!
Edit: my soul is shattered
Oh god Bendy is literally just budget Bioshock at this point, THE HUMAN CHARACTERS AND INGAME FONTS ARE EVEN IN THE EXACT SAME ARTSTYLE.
So? It’s just inspiration I don’t know why you’re being so offended by it.
@@CallOfTheDragon885 because the only real good thing about the game in the first place was its artstyle and now its artstyle is literally just the artstyle of another game with a filter over it.
Did not expect some Dodgeball Academia footage. Grabbed it from GamePass during a depressive episode and it's so charming that I beat it in a couple days
If at some point you wanna do a Viral Horror Games 3: Special about a single game, but it's only a minute long followed by half an hour of Indie Game Recommendations, I would watch it.
Ohh Im so glad you covered these games. I actually didn't think Ananda the adventurer, wasn't going to be any good but was surprised, Im quite interested for the next chapter. Also, Batim never really had interesting (or consistent) lore, so I dont understand why anyone believes that batim chapter 2 got any better... because it didn't. Also also MFN is such a heart-warming game I absolutely love Muppets!
( also you didn't heard this from me but Im pretty the only reason Joey Drew got a gf is to beat those gay allegations)
Don't worry, you just have to wait 3 whole years and then finally Halloween will be on a Saturday
I love the detail of the useless greenscreen at the beginning
Thank you, Jack, I can’t wait to see this and procrastinate while I’m at work. ❤
Thanks for mentioning Dodgeball Academia while you were suposed to be talking about Banban. It got me interested and I quickly went to put it on my wishlist for later. :)
i'm glad you made me find out about who's lila. it feels like those games from creepypastas where the protagonist gets them from a yardsale of some crazy old man or from a friend who begs them to destroy it
While ananda does separate itself from lost indie horror games it did keep the undeniably best part of them
Absolutely banging fan songs
My main take-away from this video so far is that Slave Zero X is something I am definitely gonna keep my eyes on in the near futute. Just beat the demo and I am itching to play more of it
So glad we got a sequel to the first one!
I can't wait for 2026 when we finally have Halloween on a Saturday!
Love how this video is mostly just gushing about three great horror games, just touching on a bad one, and roasting a dumb sequel
My Friendly Neighborhood is honestly one of my favorite horror games in recent memory, and probably the best mascot horror game for me. I like how it doesn't do some dark twist with the puppets, like "Oh they're dead kids stuffed in suits" or "Oh they're demons pretending to be friendly!", the puppets are just...puppets who went a bit loopy in isolation and are desperate for friendship from someone. Hell, I love how it takes the logic of the muppet series and has no one question why sentient felt people are a thing, just that they are.
Gordon is a fun character who feels believable in the scenario (that and the game explaining WHY he can kick puppet ass like no one else), Ricky is a good antagonist (Not a villain, mind you, but an obstacle), and I appreciate that, by doing the events to pacify the unique enemies, you actually see Gordon's character development through, rather than it being out of place.
Even if we don't get a sequel to My Friendly Neighborhood, i'm excited to see what John and Evan Szymanski do next
I love videos where a Narrator calmly explains a horror game.

It's the second scariest time of the year
@@bumblesmcfumblesWhat's the first?
Don't worry, we'll get our Saturday Halloween in 3 years time.
0:54 absolutely horrifying
At first, Jack's sorrow over his name having five letters confused me, but then I remembered that he spells it with two x's and a z.
Gee Thanks JACK, that last image scared me so bad I'm dead now.
i personally liked my time with ink machine and dark revival but everybody has their own opinions.
I was playing dmc5 when you made the hack and slash joke. AND I WAS PLAYING VERGIL
Also i liked the scary picture
2:07 usually I'd skip advertisements like this but my other option is garten of banban so I'll give it a pass
Playing Andy’s Apple Farm literally yesterday and then immediately seeing it referenced in a Bumbles video when I’d never even heard of it before yesterday was definitely an interesting experience.
i love Halloween and i love an hour long Mr McFumbles spooktacular
Thank you for introducing me Slave Zero X
I hate how Bendy was wasted. I like the character design, and Boris should have been a companion.
Okay, you have sold me on Who's Lila?, which I wouldn't have played probably otherwise.
With how much No more heroes this channel is inspired, I'm surprised there isn't a dedicated NMH video
36:32 You missed the note that explains it
I wasn’t anticipating to hear the words ‘Chip and Skip’ again in relation to the game. It was another horror game, it was fun to watch. I’m sure if you look up the name you’ll find it, I know Manlybadasshero did something with it
I hope next year Jack talks about Shipwrecked 64. It’s not as popular as other mascot horror games but it is a masterpiece. Easily the best horror game I’ve ever played.
I very much appreciate the count Impression I can’t Fang you enough. 🧛🏻♂️
"Imagine not having to take out a mortgage to play Custom Robo."
Same could be said for Megabyte Punch, bro.
17:09 Glad to see a reference to the great cinematic masterpiece "Street Fighter: The Movie".
