If you’ve ever wondered what Spoiler Warning would look like without my steady hand on the wheel, this is your chance to find out. Last week I told the crew I was sick, and asked them to go on without me. So they decided to act like… well, you’ll see.

The “Part 1” business makes me think that there might be MORE of this idiocy? I don’t know. Maybe that’s just Josh trolling us on another level? I have no idea. If things go to plan then we’ll be returning to Mass Effect 3 in the coming week.
If you really need something more analytic and less spastic, then check out the new Errant Signal, which is on Photorealism.

How I Plan To Rule This Dumb Industry

Here is how I'd conquer the game-publishing business. (Hint: NOT by copying EA, 2K, Activision, Take-Two, or Ubisoft.)
Trashing the Heap

What does it mean when a program crashes, and why does it happen?
The Gameplay is the Story

Some advice to game developers on how to stop ruining good stories with bad cutscenes.
My god, that was glorious. I am amazed at how quickly that devolved into ramdon ganking and backstabbing.
What do you mean “devolved into”?
This is Calvinball of the FPS genre.
Though experiment: imagine Josh playing actual Calvinball.
The laws of physics start bugging out?
There needs to be more of this.
Yes, this needs to be the new half life 2 special episodes.
I agree completely. If they ever do Episode 1 and 2, it should be done like this.
Oh, please let there be more of this. I laughed my heart out. Speaking of which, I can’t find a pulse.
Best Spoiler Warning ever. Even better than the Fallout 3 inventory episodes.
I have no idea what I just saw, but I know it is indeed the best episode ever. Of all episodic things.
I’m not sure, Railroad to Nowhere and the episode where Josh breaks Amnesia are still good contenders for that title…
Nope. The Hive nightclub shootout massacre in DX:HR is still objectively the best!
How dare you have a different opinion than me, internet-person! En garde!
It’s almost like Half-Life 2 wasn’t really built to support multiplayer. Or like it was built explicitly for multiplayer. I can’t quite tell which one it is from this video.
New rule-If Glitch is in the video, shenanigans will ensue.
Can’t wait for Part 2!
You might be waiting the while, they haven’t even done 8 4 dead 2 yet :P
I wonder if spoiler warning has developed a variant strain on the valve disease, not being able to count past a certain number In its specials? :P
By they,you mean Josh.The episode can still be viewed,only unedited,on their streams.
Josh keeps claiming he needs to “work”, or “sleep”, or “eat”. That man is full of excuses.
I think Chris is the best addition to Spoiler Warning because he can do both insightful commentary and analysis. At the same time he can do random crazy bullshit like this.
To be fair pretty much all of them can do that.
Chris does seem like the best player of them all.He hides behind this “Oh noes,Im a n00b” persona,but in the end he always emerges victorious.He is the perfect spy.
The Spoiler Warning Gods hold him in high favor. It balances out all the time they spend smiting Rutskarn (and, before she left, Mumbles).
Chris might well lack the 1337 skillz one might claim are needed to be “teh awesome,” but I get the impression he wins by pretty much letting the other players defeat themselves.
This is one of the most things I have ever seen in my life.
Someone should really do a study if people can be genetically coded to be gremlins. Every piece of software touched by the crew touch literally explodes with bugs(in the case of reverse pickpocketing a grenade into a beehive).
I agree. This definitely is one of the most things ever.
Huh. So. How about them multiplayer in games?
I’d gladly drop any and all single player experiences for this kind of non-stop action, yessir.
Hm, really? In that case, I’ll just say that I’m very glad for the developers that don’t share that viewpoint.
I’m not sure, I’d need to get some friends first…
Thats easy,just make a facebook account and befriend a bunch of strangers.
That is what kids today are doing,right?
Its a fun way to kill some time.Not that substantial for anything longer though.
I hope you’re not trying to use this fan-made mod as an argument that multiplayer sucks.
If that’s the case, then I could just as easily use Painkiller Overdose as proof that single player sucks.
Well, that was 14 minutes of chaos.
That’s all my brain can produce right now.
Judging from Glitch, Josh’s play style seems to be genetic. Or with sheer insanity of this episode, contagious.
Yeah… my eyes my eyes? No that doesn’t seem right. What just happened? Getting warmer.
Ah.
WTF.
That sums my feelings well.
This is either Spoiler Warning’s weakest episode or its finest hour. Probably both.
*gets crushed by falling car*
That was pretty hilarious but seeing as how its synergy I expected nothing less. Also, Funkorama is the best music becuase it makes me remember three-dog getting blown up.
Yes… this so much! That and Josh flying across the room after unleashing a mini nuke on Little Lamplight!
So much nostalgia.
Okay. There needs to be an official Spoiler Warning server in Synergy that just does THIS the whole time. More than one if necessary. I don’t know what the player limit cap is.
Only Josh would snipe someone using a saw blade.
That was the single greatest thing I have ever seen. If they can only do this sort of thing when Shamus isn’t around, then I’m sorry, man, but I have to proclaim you a killjoy. :P
Best. SW. Ever.
Oh, and Josh’s saw blade snipe kill was incredible. Years of practice on other innocent souls, I guess…
Unfortunately, trying this with random people online is a great way to get you kicked. Most online Synergy maps just turn into a race to the finish, where the only way to get kills is to run as quickly as you can to keep up with the speedsters at the front of the pack.
“Through there is Ravenholm. We…Don’t go there anymore.”
On second thought, let’s not go to Ravenholm. It’s a very silly place.
Well this episode definitely shows us the violence inherent in the system…
Ravenholm with 1 player: terrifying. Ravenholm with 4 players, ludicrous.
It was rather amusing listening while the background music and ambient effects tried desperately to maintain the atmosphere in the face of all the silliness.
So THAT’S why they don’t go there any more.
All that murder.
Gli makes for a good Shame replacement.
Curses, I was hoping nobody made this comment yet, foiled again!
I wanted to be the fir
For the longest time, the Amnesia episode was my favorite episode of Spoiler Warning. Now, it’s this one. Well done.
When the Kevin MacLeod piece you used for credits in Season 2 started up I started smiling and thought “Elemental Spoiler Warning : Maximum chaos and silliness.”
I propose a drinking game for this series of videos:
– Take a drink every time someone dies, stacking for multiple deaths at a time.
– Finish a drink if it’s Josh that dies due to holding a barrel.
– Take two drinks twice every time someone almost gets progress only for the others to spawn and end up turning it into a bloodbath.
– Finish a drink every time Campster survives a bloodbath.
– Take a drink every time Josh survives only to die at the end, and force a total respawn.
I think that should be enough for me to say that I am not liable for any loss of liver or kidney from this drinking game. Also, not liable for alcohol poisoning. Play this game at your own risk.
EDIT: In hindsight, perhaps it would be better to simply put it as “Take a drink everytime someone begins speaking.” That should get one fairly drunk. Shame that Campster didn’t speak as much.
That’s because he’s a Silent Assassin!
I think he was just plotting to win instead.
So what you’re saying is that he’s Silent But Deadly?
*Insert fart-related joke here*
Would it be easier to just say:
Take a drink every time.
“Take a drink every minute throughout the whole video.” -That’s how I read this.
Ironically, might be overall better for the liver…
OK, this started out pretty funny. But by the time they got to the cars I had problems keeping on my chair. Please let there be more of this!
The horror… the horror… *o*
The only episode better than this is the Amnesia one. It harkens back to the Fallout 3 days.
I’m still disappointed they never released the The full footage of that amnesia play through. Nothing was Hilarious.
I wonder how much of that, as well as of this is just them standing around doing almost nothing.
My favorite is still the Cherry Blossom Murderversary.
that needed more pictures of naked men.
That was…deliciously silly and sumptuously chaotic. A perfect example and salubrious sample of a fox in Molotov’s hen house chasing Pavlov’s cat while Heisenburg is uncertain of what to do about it all.
This is the best worst thing ever.
Enjoyable, but no link to the mod. I’m not saying I can’t google it (found it easily I think), but was it so bad you didn’t really want to give it an audience?
Shamus, you’re just upset that you missed this.
And I demand the rest of this series.
