Yeah I'd never heard of it either and it's started getting hammered in my algorithm thr last couple weeks and I've no fucking idea why.
Not too surprising with Meat, since he's a faggot and went to art school. You'd think Wendi would have some near factoids being a biology/microbiology dropout, though.
I don't think he got super far into that. His passion is clearly more in line with the humanities, so what I think happened is he wrapped up his general AA stuff and dropped out when he had to do the more specialized classes for his BA.
Because I was planning on moving to Asia and was asking professors who spent time there, he spent a lot of time in Vietnam and china, so I asked him about it. For some fucking reason, the next day he printed out like 30 pages of an academic article about SEA/Chinese eroticism and asked me to read it. A good 1/3 of it was all about cock mutilation because apparently chicks dig it and shows off your manhood. IDK what he was implying by having me read it. Professors are fucking weird man, but most of them were pretty chill.
I don't mind not being able to fight the monster, but there needs to be more interaction with them. CW is fun because you are encouraged to fuck around with the monsters and you have enough leeway to survive while being a goofball. When I last played lethal company, I felt that the monsters are too lethal, and you really can't afford to mess around as things can go 0-100 quick. Honestly, the most fun I had was trying to deal with the turrets because I had enough breathing room to fuck around and try to figure them out with my friend.
Lethal Company was the latest "very popular game for a month", and disappeared afterwards. Doesn't seem too bad, I already saw Pyrocynical's video about the DEEP LORE and doubt it changed much. If I recall it's just "corporation bad" but scattered along the multiple play areas.
I don't think lore fluff is pointless if helps establish context for the gameplay. Picture L4D, but take out the "story" that strings the levels together so it is just 4 people going from point A to B for no reason. It is a small thing, but it goes a long way to making things immersive and making players a little more invested. But Lethal Company sure as shit didn't warrant 3 hours of it, especially when most of his book videos are usually around 2 hours.
It’s actually quite fun, does a good job combining comedy and horror. You actually need friends to enjoy it, though.
L4D has characters and mystery about the outbreak and the state of the world.
The game is not even close to being finished and the lore elements are extremely basic atm. Why would he make this video now? And how tf did he manage 2.5 hours of content?
"Baboon hawks are effectively bullies. If you run into one on its own, it will probably keep its distance and just kind of run up at you and then run back. Like their name, baboon hawks are descended from real world primates so they act the way packs of monkeys do whenever they're confronted by a threat, running up, making a lot of noise and then backing off. There's a commonly held myth within the lethal company community that yelling at baboon hawks will cause them to back off and while that isn't really true, holding weapons and swinging them at them does seem to work, but normally if it's a one-on-one deal you don't have to worry about it. If there are more than one baboon hawks and you're alone, then it becomes something to worry about because if there's several baboon hawks, they'll kind of get the courage to run up and attack you before they dip back though. If you're like by yourself and there's three baboon hawks, they're definitely gonna attack..."
The same way you go out of your way make sure you hit the word count on your essays in school and uni.
Wendigoon regularly has flights of fancy where he suddenly hyperfocuses on something he enjoys. It's nothing new. He's covered multiple analog horror series mid season too.
That's essentially the entire channel. There might be a general theme of sp0oky/government/conspiracy shit but it's mostly just a grab bag of whatever his autism is focused on at the time. Kinda nice for the variety, but it's a painful Lazy Susan if you don't like the flavor of the week.
