welcome to firewatch! was pretty excited to pick this up and play it. you should be getting a couple of episodes of this today with any luck and we'll blast through the rest of it for the rest of the week. enjoy! :)
When the option to lock Julia in her room with a chair at the door I was thinking 'Oh God, this is the part where she dies in a fire because he's out drinking and she can't escape. And then that motivates him to join the Fire Watch'.
+gregorovich webb Not sure that "nothing" is the right word here... it affects how the main character acts in a conversations later at least, not sure if more than that, but I wouldn't be surprised if it did.
sure, I just meant that as far as we know not much happened besides different dialogue, better than "you left the cooker on, Julia couldn't escape her room, she burned to death, you got arrested for suspected murder" etc.
+chocoboasylum I have to admit, ever since the bit where you adopt the dog I was thinking "oh god please tell me this story isn't going to end with 'while your'e out one day, your wife, dog and children all burn to death in a fire'"
this is bizarrely by comfort series, I watched it when it came out and I was hungover in university, today, 8 years later, I'm hungover and I'm doing the same
Still the series that has wowed me the most... such an incredible story line, game, graphics, etc. and who better to play it than the magnificent bastard that is ol' Sipsy boy himself!
This game was amazing, brilliant story. Stick around and watch the whole thing, it's only eleven episodes, but Sips does a fantastic job of delivering a quality expose`. He brings the mood about in a major way.
It's kind of amazing to see how most of the choices people are making are exactly the same, with only a few differences between the videos I've watched so far.
I will have to postpone watching this for a couple of weeks, played it through yesterday and there is only so much feels i can take at once. Can not wait to watch it though! Thanks in advance for playing this ya big bastard!
Sometimes i see games on other yogscast channels that im unsure of and never really bother but with sips i just give everything a go because he makes everything hilarious
I love how positive Sips is about kids.. Especially about a dog not being a child's equivalent, it always bugs me when people call their dogs their "babies" & refer to them as their "children"
Does watching this make anyone else realize Sips is probably a really good Dad and Husband? "Macaroni and wine can fix a lot of things but probably not that". Profound.
Watched Hannah's play through and am looking forward to watching this. The game is very beautiful and its really nice to see the different perspectives and emotions from Hannah and Sips :)
This might be another sips series that I begin and like so much that I want to get the game. Then I buy the game and play it and can no longer watch Sips' playthrough because I've seen it all already.
I have a neighbour that has dementia. Whenever I see him he tells me about how filthy his trailer is and how he's cleaning it from top to bottom. When I tell him he's already told me, he just says sorry and usually says something about dementia or he shakes his head while pointing to his temple and goes back to cleaning. He must've cleaned his trailer 300 times by now.
Yes, dementia is something that _generally_ afflicts the elderly, but it said Julia was diagnosed with early onset dementia. Sucks, that's super sad. But in other news, I've played just Day 1 so far and really like it, I'm eager to see how you handle it all!
I don't know why but, i started amusing my self that Firewatch was an Elevator Survival game, must have been the pack and being on a elevator at the start of this video.
My mom has an employee who is her age with early onset dementia. She's been very, very stressed about it because the woman does not have any kind of support system. It's awful when it happens to older people, but it's almost worse when you're so young.
i thought this was a simulator game imagine playing eurotruck or something only to hear that yo wife has got dementia whilst you're on a haul this is so dark i love it
+Deadlynightshade9 Well, some people take fictional stories too seriously. People also cry at movies, for some reason, I've never understood it myself.
+rdizzy1 It's called empathy mate. Who cares if a story is fictional? No one ever has a pretence that what they are seeing has actually happened because it doesn't matter if it actually happened. You share the feelings and emotions of the person in the story regardless of whether or not it's fact or fiction. It's only hard to understand if you are a sociopath. Taking them too seriously is such a stupid thing to say since the nature of most dramas is to be taken seriously and to move you emotionally. People choose such entertainment to deal with their own emotions in a safe environment and to live vicariously though the characters. Catharsis pal. You'll never understand 1000s of years of dramatic theatre? and novels? and art in general? What are you talking about?
Zak Jones I have empathy for real actual people that exist, and I personally know of. Not fictional characters in a fictional world, that I know are fictional the entire time I'm watching a movie or playing a game. You would have to have some odd delusional disorder to have true empathy over "someone", or "something" that doesn't even exist in reality whatsoever. Even with the highest levels of immersion, most people should be uncapable of feeling full out empathy towards non existant characters.
rdizzy1 As I said mate, drama in some form has been popular for literally thousands of years. What logic are you using to come to a conclusion that what the majority of people have always done must be linked to an unnamed "delusion disorder" but the way you think, to the contrary, is normal? You are the one not sharing an emotional capacity that most people share. So you are the one with a problem. If you read some anecdotal news story or somebody tells you are random story about one of their friends you don't know if it's true. The story itself is what moves you. You talk about fictional characters in a fictional world when most stories take place in a world identical to ours. Most characters maybe "fictional" but they are always rooted in real human personalities and share themes and tropes with people we DO know. The relationship between a mother and son on screen might move someone because it reminds them of their own relationship with their family. You look at the world in a very black and white way. You don't seem to understand a big part of human behaviour isn't about "facts" but feelings. Memories, impulse decisions, first impressions, prejudices: these things arent facts but they still effects and change peoples opinions and moods. If anyone has a mental disorder it's you mate. And it's called "autism".
Putting a chair in front of the door is actually MORE dangerous Not only would she not be able to escape in a fire, but if someone with dementia wakes up and finds that they are trapped in a room, it usually doesn't end well I've seen patients turn violent at the drop of a hat when they can't leave the building, being stuck in a single room would be much worse
I gotta say that was a pretty sad start. Yesterday my doctor diagnosed me with degenerative disk disease, I'm 27. Made me pretty sad. Couldn't stop thinking about how it's going to change my life, the uncertainty, will it shorten my life? etc. This reinforced what I thought last night. health is so precious. life is so short.
Hope it isn't to severe, and I hope you live a full life. It's so sad that our lives can be cut short with a single sentence. You are right, and I hope you get as good as you can, if not completely cured
But equally it's amazing how quick you can lift some random persons mood with a comment like this. I won't find out how serious this is untill I meet the surgeon. But I'll be positive. I hope you have a wonderful, long and happy life too! Thanks for the wellwishes 😀
I know this game has multiple endings so I really hope Sips stays with the good/noble path he's taken. watched a stream where a guy was more deviant, ending was unsatisfying.
welcome to firewatch! was pretty excited to pick this up and play it. you should be getting a couple of episodes of this today with any luck and we'll blast through the rest of it for the rest of the week. enjoy! :)
+Sips Bro, i love your videos, but you really need to upload more subnautica. Please!
Im early to watch a sips video😜 yes
Plz more dont starve and fallout :3
Sips you're awesome i get really excited when i see that you've uploaded.
play some hotline Mami user created levels
When the option to lock Julia in her room with a chair at the door I was thinking 'Oh God, this is the part where she dies in a fire because he's out drinking and she can't escape. And then that motivates him to join the Fire Watch'.
+chocoboasylum i sat shouting "no Sips, it's called Firewatch for a reason!" . glad that nothing became of it.
+gregorovich webb Not sure that "nothing" is the right word here... it affects how the main character acts in a conversations later at least, not sure if more than that, but I wouldn't be surprised if it did.
sure, I just meant that as far as we know not much happened besides different dialogue, better than "you left the cooker on, Julia couldn't escape her room, she burned to death, you got arrested for suspected murder" etc.
great minds think alike!
+chocoboasylum
I have to admit, ever since the bit where you adopt the dog I was thinking "oh god please tell me this story isn't going to end with 'while your'e out one day, your wife, dog and children all burn to death in a fire'"
Back for this great series in 2022.
Lemme guess... He's gonna make this a big series that everyone loves, then just when it about to climax, he'll forget about it.
+ASD Games and you'll forgive him for it, cus he's sips
+ASD Games the game does that by itself lol its a great story horrible ending
+ASD Games I got really salty after he left Fallout 1 and Final Fantasy 2
+ASD Games He'll have another child
+ASD Games It's a 2 hour game is that even possible
It's okay Sips. Most Americans couldn't find Wyoming on a map either.
was literally about to comment that, hehe
The heck even *IS* Wyoming?
Haha I live in wyoming and I get asked by Americans where wyoming is quite often
+TRISTOM_307 wyoming is really beautiful though.
+OddinMasse Going by the current election campaign I doubt most Americans could find America on a map.
this is bizarrely by comfort series, I watched it when it came out and I was hungover in university, today, 8 years later, I'm hungover and I'm doing the same
Watching again in 2019. Nostalgia here I come!
Me2
Watching in 2021
watching in 2022 just for the nostalgia.. damn 6 years have gone..
@@bashar876sadly for me its 7 😅
When he dies I am going to comment: And now his watch has ended
I will look for It
You can't die in this, I'm pretty sure
I'm gonna hold you to this. *mentally notes Bert The Derp* I really will.
+Harrison Woodward That's Dark
+Bert The Derp And now his watch has ended.. IN FIRE!
Sips your like a father that keeps on giving! Thank you, thank you very much.
a father that keeps on making.
You're
I give this review a perfect 5/7
fuck you
+Xavier Noé zozzle
I may have smirked at that.
+Xavier Noé Fight Club was a definate 5/7
They should've bought armor though
Still the series that has wowed me the most... such an incredible story line, game, graphics, etc. and who better to play it than the magnificent bastard that is ol' Sipsy boy himself!
Sips always kills the music references. "Me and Julia down by the schoolyard." Classic.
This game was amazing, brilliant story. Stick around and watch the whole thing, it's only eleven episodes, but Sips does a fantastic job of delivering a quality expose`. He brings the mood about in a major way.
Its 7pm, and i decided im going to watch this masterpiece of a game again.
Firewatch truly is a masterpiece of a game. So wholesome. I'll always remember it.
It's kind of amazing to see how most of the choices people are making are exactly the same, with only a few differences between the videos I've watched so far.
Holy shit, all these recent uploads are fantastic! Its good to see Sips back in the saddle.
I will have to postpone watching this for a couple of weeks, played it through yesterday and there is only so much feels i can take at once. Can not wait to watch it though! Thanks in advance for playing this ya big bastard!
I just finished this game, It is really good. In fact while playing it, I thought "god, Sips needs to play this". My prayers have been answered!
Sometimes i see games on other yogscast channels that im unsure of and never really bother but with sips i just give everything a go because he makes everything hilarious
I love how positive Sips is about kids.. Especially about a dog not being a child's equivalent, it always bugs me when people call their dogs their "babies" & refer to them as their "children"
As far as I've seen this far this is one sick story...
Re-watching this 2k18, god I loved this playthrough.
lol Just the dialogue in the first 30 seconds...That's why I love Sips man
First Sips vid i've watched in a while and he has sold me the game.
Hey my dad grew up in Boulder! He went to CU! My grandma lived there until just a couple years ago! I love that place.
I've been waiting for his game for so long
Sweet, Boulder's my hometown!
+MajorKabong Same!
Please continue with this playthrough sips!!!!!!
I miss these types of sips play throughs
"ill just release them when they're ready." uploads 5 in one day. -sips 2016
Watch those fires, Sipsy boi
I came here for polybridge-esque buffoonery. Now I'm just sad, thanks Sips!
Thanks for the generous release schedule!
I like how you tell us about typical things that happened in the 80s. Very educational :)
Wow, There is a strong emotional backstory to this game then isn't there. Felt Genuinely attached to the characters already
What a strange game. I love seeing the choices Sips makes.
Does watching this make anyone else realize Sips is probably a really good Dad and Husband? "Macaroni and wine can fix a lot of things but probably not that". Profound.
I love the story of this game so far, can't wait to watch the entire game.
Absolutely loved playing this game. So simple yet so beautiful. Sips it is always glorious watching your videos!
please post one more today.. cant wait to see how this game plays
I've been waiting for this game for so long, I'm glad that sips decided to play it
This looks fantastic. The art style is incredible. Looking forward to it.
Watched Hannah's play through and am looking forward to watching this. The game is very beautiful and its really nice to see the different perspectives and emotions from Hannah and Sips :)
All these videos coming out so close together, It's so good! Cheers for the content :)
Dat journal got me rowdy.
I literally spent the whole day playing this game just so i wouldn't get spoiled from watching this video :D it was worth it
It's pretty fun, it's pretty short, dialogue and atmosphere are great...
I love Sips so much, I'd do anything to do a vid with him
I love the sheer panic when sips realises you can get dementia at 41.
As both a pet owner and a father, I absolutely hate it when people compare owning pets to raising children.
As a 15 year old who hates people that compare things I understand that
+Matthew Marshall go away keyboard warrior
+[GD] [LD] [IG] [MD] FrenzicMyth As a person who hates fifteen year olds, I hate you.
***** Woah woah buddy. Such hostility. Clearly I was joking. But you know... Poe's Law and what not.
***** ?
I'm watching Hannah play this too but I'm excited to see how differently Sips plays :)
is this game about being an Alcholic ?
+Sophia Ruach it's about goverment surveillance
+Sophia Ruach 9/11
?
+Sophia Ruach George Bush
+Gavyn Coble Jet beams dont melt steel fuel
Wow, the story has me already in the dumps. Great.
I love how Sips and Hannah play a few of the same games but play them so differently. Waiting to see how their games split.
Early onset is very much a real thing. My mom started developing frontal temporal dementia(FTD) when I was a teenager whereas she was 49 or so.
I feel like sips is a really sweet and nice guy and hides it with his funniness
Looking forward to this series!
It was my favourite series
I love this art style.its like a more realistic Borderlands artstyle with a hint of tf2.
Great playthrough Sips.
I love when you play games similar to this one!
helluva sad opening, its like 'Up'!
This might be another sips series that I begin and like so much that I want to get the game. Then I buy the game and play it and can no longer watch Sips' playthrough because I've seen it all already.
Fire falls, and my watch begins.
damn, right in the feels.
I have a neighbour that has dementia. Whenever I see him he tells me about how filthy his trailer is and how he's cleaning it from top to bottom. When I tell him he's already told me, he just says sorry and usually says something about dementia or he shakes his head while pointing to his temple and goes back to cleaning. He must've cleaned his trailer 300 times by now.
Havent watched the video yet, still commenting
That beagle description is so spot-on :P
My beagle is more like a meatloaf piggy c:
Damn dude, the feals are too real, love it
Yes, dementia is something that _generally_ afflicts the elderly, but it said Julia was diagnosed with early onset dementia. Sucks, that's super sad. But in other news, I've played just Day 1 so far and really like it, I'm eager to see how you handle it all!
You sir are one of the most entertaining you tubers im subscribed to. keep it up !
I don't know why but, i started amusing my self that Firewatch was an Elevator Survival game, must have been the pack and being on a elevator at the start of this video.
22 minutes and the game isn't over yet? Damn I'm happy, that's a promising game!
R.I.P his fallout 4 series
My mom has an employee who is her age with early onset dementia. She's been very, very stressed about it because the woman does not have any kind of support system. It's awful when it happens to older people, but it's almost worse when you're so young.
Oh thank the divines, thank Talos, sips is playing firewatch!
2024 rewatc.this littrely cured my insomnia . Watched this as a teenager now I'm back old asf Thank you Sips , you my unc fr fr
Sips! Yes! Thanks for playing this game, can't wait to play along. Already started. Haha.
So much for Mayhem, I thought he would guard you with his life
Also this only episode alone could be a game itself and i would totally buy it.
i thought this was a simulator game
imagine playing eurotruck or something only to hear that yo wife has got dementia whilst you're on a haul
this is so dark i love it
When Hannah did this intro she was almost crying, while Sips is laughing xD

"I'm going in blind, and usually that...
ends well
'cause I'm pretty good at games."
I remember the hype everyone had for your uploads while playing this. Think you had to upload multiple times a day to satisfy everyone lol.
Putting a chair in front of the door is actually MORE dangerous
Not only would she not be able to escape in a fire, but if someone with dementia wakes up and finds that they are trapped in a room, it usually doesn't end well
I've seen patients turn violent at the drop of a hat when they can't leave the building, being stuck in a single room would be much worse
Awesome. Please keep going.
You know that in fox catching matches they used beagles,great hunters
That German Shepard was pretty weird, I had one and he guarded me with his life, he was like a brother to me.
I gotta say that was a pretty sad start. Yesterday my doctor diagnosed me with degenerative disk disease, I'm 27.
Made me pretty sad. Couldn't stop thinking about how it's going to change my life, the uncertainty, will it shorten my life? etc.

Good luck, I hope it never holds you down. :)
Thanks, I won't let it :) when there are kind people like you in the world how can inlet it get to me :) hope your life is equally fulfilling x
2:00 NAILED IT!!!
This game looks amazing
I was not prepared for that intro
and so his watch begins.
A+ Julio down by the school yard reference in the first minute
I know this game has multiple endings so I really hope Sips stays with the good/noble path he's taken. watched a stream where a guy was more deviant, ending was unsatisfying.
The start of it already seems interesting.
Sips, you never disappoint.
that was quite an opening
wow, I am already crying. I might need some help.
Sips is best fire watchman.
