@@hariman7727I got hit with a fake documentary on the "tragedy of Isla Nubor" only to find out it's fucking Jurassic Park (the OG). Man I was way to fascinated to get that disappointed.
I don't think that's Kyne, man in the poster has almost no resemblance to him. In fact, he more resembles Perry, another medical officer, that was seen in Extraction.
The way the necromorphs get onto the Ishimura is borderline comedy; there are three crewships of survivors from the colony, they refuse to return to the planet's surface so the Ishimura opens fire on them. 1.)They completely destroy the first crewship which is full of innocent people 2.) They clip a second crewship causing it to crash into the Ishimura killing many of the innocent people on board 3.) But the third? It gets through to the Ishimura's hanger no problem, and who's on the third ship? A corpse, a necromorph, and an infector. These clowns destroyed EVERY ship except for the one that was the actual threat.
The true "Maritime Horrors" from the Ishimura weren't the events that led to its destruction: it was the fact that the ship's captain didn't steer the ship directly into the nearest star to purge the horrors onboard, as well as the fact that the horrors were able to escape and spread across the galaxy.
I know it's almost two weeks later but you're both correct. The Chief Science Officer AND the Captain where both Unitologists. They differed in opinion regarding the marker and its effects though. Captain Mathius is the person who had the marker brought on board the Ishimura (against Dr. Kyne's wishes, I might add) so it's fair to lay much of the blame at his feet for the events which took place afterwards. Dr. Kyne meanwhile actually tried to sabotage the Ishimura in an attempt to destroy it, the shut-off engines and fuel systems that Isaac had to fix in the game were his doing.
My Uncle actually worked on the Ishimura as an Engineer, but he thankfully transferred before the incident happened. He used to tell me funny stories about being late for work in the Gravity Centrifuge because of the decontamination sequencer. I sure would've hated to be stuck in that thing during the incident!
Also Minor Detail but Doctor Nicole Brennan who was the Chief Medical Officer was not a Unitologist and actually helped people leave the church! The Chief Science Officer, Doctor Terrence Kyne was however, so I think you may have gotten the two confused.
I remember this one. I remember the government claimed it was a terrorist attack and it wasn't until year's later someone posted the Security footage online that blew the whole thing open. RIP to the crews involved.
Did anybody else think it was fishy engineer Isaac Clark disappeared after this incident? I last heard he was being doped up in some colony nut house but i dont believe that for a second.
John carpenter said he'd have loved to make a dead space movie, the way you described the events leading up to the game gave me a clear image of what they could do with that
I mean, they did make a movie out of the stuff leading up to the game. It's Dead Space Downfall, probably got one of the most brutal deaths I've ever seen
@TheRealSonicBeats Yeah but that’s an animated movie id like to see a real dead space movie with actors and real sets and all that. Still enjoyed downfall though it was a solid animated horror movie and prequel to the game
I think it could be cool if they focusing movie entirely on the colonist perspective, and at the very end, you could have the last survivor, begging Isaac ship to not dock, Neomorph slowly walking behind them as they’re just screaming for them to get away
I remember a true crime channel doing a video about an old guy who kidnapped a little girl (I think) , and the video was made in such a way that it was obvious the guy was guilty, but on the last minutes it was revealed all the evidence was circumstantial at best and it was most likely the guy was innocent. It was a pretty cool Aprils fool "joke" but I dont remember the channel.
I remember hearing about this when the first info got out about the loss of the crew. Very sad. My local Church of Unitology had a fundraising drive and I donated some money. I hope the families are doing okay now.
I always thought the large morgue was for an actual practical reason. The unitologists didn't want to be cremated or buried for religious reasons. So the bodies were to be sent to the church after death. Considering how popular unitology had become, it made sense to me that ships of this era would have larger facilities in case of a large accident and the need to move a lot of bodies back.
I think I dead space 1 or 2 they also had “huge mausoleum ships” that uniitologist bodies would be stored cryogenically for keeping by the church for convergence

0:11 "several million light years from Earth" - That's outside our galaxy! Humankind has managed to cross the void between galaxies but their ships look like they were built literally a couple of decades from now.
Honestly, the tecnology gap between mainland and the ships should be notable at really long distances The Ishimura would have the tecnology available at thae point in time it was built, the entire ship would not receive big updates, too far away for that Replacing it when it gets obsolete would be the reasonable option, and this things look like they should have a life of hundreds of years being operative
In both Dead Space 1 and 2 the Ishimura always just creeped me out. That ship and it's small enclosed spaces, even though it was massive in total size, and the overall eerie vibe it gave off; It was one of very few things that actually has the ability to make me 'very wary', when enjoying the content of it's series. Suffice to say, they just don't make 'em like they used to. Horror games, horror movies, ships, you name it.
Have you been to any industrial site (say like an oil refinery or a smelter ? - Nearly all of them are cramped usually by necessity - now take that industrial site and try to fit it into a horrendously costly spaceship (and try do do it) as cheaply as possible - and you will get the Ishimura style ship - industrial in nature to the core. It was basically a smelter, a mine and a storage yard all rolled up into one frame with bare minimum of space for anything else. This is what you get when function is put over comfort.
@@krzosu, Sure that would apply in the real world. But the Ishimura was made in a fictional world. Where 'cost', weather it be for, materials, construction, whatever; Was not really an issue. The reason is because it was made by a 'Type 3 civilization'. We are still a 'Type 0(zero) civilization', so cost, space, and so on, could be considered. But as it is, our type of economics, can not be applied to that of a 'Type 3 civ'; Because the amount of differences are so vast. I'm sorry; But your explanation, your argument, fails to hold any water.
@@buckrodgers1162 Actually in the lore of the series, cost was an issue. The Ishimura was the first planet cracker in it's class to be built. At the time of Dead Space, it was close to being retired as Aegis VII would be it's last job. It's design reflects it's age, and it's construction during the back end of the resource wars. Compare it with Titan Station during Dead Space 2, or the newer ships in Dead Space 3, and you'll see the difference.
@@buckrodgers1162wasn't the Ishimura the first planet cracker made out of necessity in order to obtain vital resources from other planets? That civilization, while more advance, would be massive resource constraints just to build one Ishimura - and it was a hail mary at best. So it makes sense why it's so crammed - cost-cutting is still a thing.
I can't remember who pointed this out, but one thing I love about the ship is that its design makes it look like an open ribcage. From the moment you step foot onto the Ishimura it's a rotting carcass.
@@notjeih And is that necessarily a good thing? It's a testament to humanity's relentless expansionism. Faced with critical resource shortages, the people of the future didn't pump the brakes or live more efficiently, but devised gigantic carrion ships, greedily roving the galaxy completely destroying planets and even entire solar systems in the name of never ever slowing down. DS2 touches on it as well, even without necromorphs to ruin everything, humanity was on a destructive and unsustainable path.
@@diedbadly That's actually one of the big reasons the events of dead space even happened. The markers were bait for resource starved species. As soon as you tap into it, they know.
I was one of the very few survivors from the Ishimura, I only got back a few weeks ago.. Still having nightmares RIP to my fallen crewmates, ill never forget stomping you for ammo 😢
I sincerely hope nobody downplays the horrific experiences of those who endured this event simply because of those who claim this isn't "entirely real". Shame on those who let such insignificant facts get in the way of true history.
Man you're gonna love it here. I've been working on the ishimura for 2 years and it's been a blast. We just discovered an ancient relic on aegis 7, can't wait to analyse it
as someone who has never played or even really thought about dead space until now, and only recently subscribed a few months(?) back, I am absolutely blown away at both the quality of the story writing and visuals used to make this video, and how incredibly plausible and realistic all the details sound except also now very scared because I cannot handle horror for the life of me overall, fantastic job on creating this though, 10/10
Yeah dont play Dead Space if you cant handle horror. The anxiety this game provides is a testament to how great of a story and game it was. Me and my best friend play Dead Space 2 every single year on Halloween.
I tried the OG Dead Space 1 not too long ago. 15 minutes in and I couldn't keep going, my heart was just palpating too much from the friggin jumpscares
My grandfather was a soldier on the USM Valor he was always so brave and when I heard that the Valor crashed into the Ishimura killing all on Board I was devastated, Grandpa always used to say back before his transfer from Head Security in Titan station "Dont open life pods without proper checking of the crew and its occupancy ive seen bad things come out of those" truly a loss😢
How old was gramps? Cause unless he was 16 when he had your father/mother then they were 16 when they had you, and you are only 8 years old is about the only plausibility of your gramps still being an active soldier, and even then he's getting long in the tooth. Or should I say WAS getting long in the tooth.
I’m thinking about making a journey to the Ishimura. My gf and I got in a fight before she left with the ship. I haven’t heard from awhile, I figure a surprise visit will cheer everyone up.
my husband was onboard the ishimura. he left behind two amazing children. we've tried to heal and hold him in our hearts as best we can, but i doubt anything will Make Us Whole again...
actually the ishimura was the first ship to employ asteroid harvesting tech. unless they changed that for the remake after learning that planet cracking is the DUMBEST way to get resources.
@@XH1927 because the ammount of energy require and ship enginnering required to crack a planet would make EVERY single crack a total waste of money. one of the reasons is that you actually need to go realy deep to get a ''good'' haul due to heavier and more valuable stuff being found closer to a planets core. in a asteroid you have even distribution wich means that even a rather small asteroid would be worth more than a entire cracked planet.
I hope that one day we can get a MH episode on the dual tragedy of the lost starships Cygnus and Palomino. Just a typical tale of a mad scientist and his haunted house ghost ship patrolled by menacing kill-bots and automated by the undead remnants of the once-human crew. You know, Disney movie material.
Or how about the Legend of the Black Pearl? A Pirate vessel whose crew, having mutinied against its former captain, end up cursed to be immortal demon zombies, and had to hunt down every last bit of the cursed gold to return it to its rightful place and bring themselves back to life via a blood ritual involving a relative of one of their former crewmen. You know, Disney movie material.
Well done. You did your research and conveyed the information accurately! This is a great informational guide on the demise of the USG Ishimura from the Aegis VII incident.
Love this! Two technical critiques: a supernova would destroy the entire solar system, and you talk about the orbits of space ships like they have buoyancy. That's a cool perspective but the reality of orbital mechanics is even cooler!
If Dead Space survived you would be a black lesbian with sideshow bob hair in a wheelchair who spouts endless exposition and technobabble whilst insufferably talking about pronouns. Thank Altman it ended when it did!
I actually liked DS3 the most - story was nice, action was good, lore was excellent, and i loved the tinkering with the guns, co-op was a nice touch as well. From all 3 DS games the third one seemed like the best of them also in terms of aviable mechanics to the players.
If anyone hasn’t played Dead Space: Extraction it’s a must. Not at all like the other games, it’s a rails shooter, but it tells the story of what actually happened on the Ishimura and it’s seriously sick
Maybe it's because I love these types of games, maybe it's because I love this channel, maybe it's a bit of both, but... MH's April Fool's episodes always fill me with a certain joy.
Fun fact. The necromorphs arent actually dead once you dismember them. They're only immobilized. you could very well be fighting some of the same necros repeatedly during your playthrough
Don't know anything about that. All I know is that intact corpses will attract those damn flappy flaps. No idea what they're called. I call them bananas. Don't ask me why cause I have no clue.
"2508. I remember it like was yesterday, people in the Moon colonies just never stop talking about the "rumors" about what happened with the USG Ishimura. Damn, I lost two cousins there. EarthGov like usual made a investigation that lead to nowhere. What is happening out there, man? One of my cousins was a from the church of Unitology. Some look like good people, but they can be very 'pushy'. Every day I receive an invitation to join them. Without time for that, next week I travel to Io. So many job opportunities in Saturn. I will try my luck there!"
Horrendous. I served on her for a while, never forget the things I saw. The CEC doesn't care about us survivors either. Thanks for shedding light on this catastrophe.
I adore your April Fools episodes! I think I initialy found your channel through the Pillar of Autumn video, then started slowly munching through your backlog of various Earth ship videos. I'd forgotten that you had done the April Fools videos, too, so this one was even a surprise 😅
Some still say that a transmission from Ishimura does transmit "This is the USG Ishimura, we lost our bearings, this is the USG Ishimura, I repeat we have lost our bearings. Mayday!" Then the transmission just cuts out and the radio is fried as a result upon receiving transmission.
Excellent as always. I follow a couple disaster RUclipsrs who do April fools videos. It's a great break from the regular stuff. Keep up the great work.
I was already following this channel and loving the videos. But now that I see you're also a fellow Dead Space fan, you are an absolute GOD, sir. And not a world-destroying Eldritch god either. Certainly not a Brethren Moon. You're one of the good gods, sir.
You forgot the part of the Medical Deck that was entirely dedicated to growing babies in chemical vats so they could be harvested for organs, especially limbs that miners and other shipmates might lose in their dangerous jobs.
Hey, don't you go and not give that engineer the credit he deserves, Isaac Clarke practically saved the world two times over. He was there at that colony, according to the survivor testimonies, he's a savior
I think you should consider doing Space Station 13 for an April fools in the future. It would certainly be difficult due the the nature of the game, with the station's demise playing out differently in every round played. But a station destroyed by a mix of wizards, cultists, terrorism, and good old incompetency all at once just sounds fun.
Pretty sure the message to take from the games story as well as similar ones, is that mysterious artifacts of unknown origin and purpose never cause problems and should always be brought on board, never restricted in any way.
It's an annual event now and mightily anticipated. Thank you for entertaining us with such a well put together event. I'm looking forward to the next video with my only hope being that it's not too far away. 😊😊😊
Recently played Dead Space Remake and Google got sniff of it so recommended me this video, I I thought this is some serious video game lore channel. Imagine my disappointment when I found out that this was just an April fools video and the channel mainly covers real life maritime accidents But in all seriousness, great content. I'm on a binge watch marathon Can't wait for your April Fools 2024 video
Bro I am so fucking happy to see a video come out today from you, I was worried we weren’t gonna get one. Thank you for telling the story of this tragic loss, respect on their MF names for real!
The fact I watched your Edmund Fitzgerald video and then saw this in my suggested video immediately earned a subscriber. I am already enamored by your videos man. Keep doing what you’re doing!
I remember watching the ship leave for the journey, and I always wondered what truly happened before it was found. I haven't been to Titan Station to see it, and I'm too busy anyway.
What no one tells you about the USG Ishimura is that there's a living god onboard, invulnerable to harm while rumors abound that the Marker can vanish at leisure. At least on my go, had a dude A pose, break scripting and become untouchable, I was in tears for 10 mins. Then the Marker later bugged out of existence after the final Hunter fight, thank god reloading the save worked else it'd have been a full restart. Great vid tho, perhaps the story of the Orca next time?
I remember this ship. I was hired as a greenhouse technician assistant with the promise of promotion and a higher salary than what I made at the time with my old job. Of course, I accepted the offer, but before it could go through, my employer told me that due to "budgetary restraints", I wouldn't be able to get in, so needless to say, I was bewildered and annoyed. Now I see that it was probably for the best that I didn't end up going, and stuck with my old job. Rest in peace to those on board.
This isn't even an April fools prank. This is just good lore.
It's the best kind of April Fool's content: A bonus to regular content, and entertaining in its own right.

Well even if they destroyed the third one, once the marker was on board of the ishimura the clock started to work against the crew.
Wouldn’t matter. Once the marker is aboard, it turns the dead people in the morgue into necromorphs.
Altman be praised
I think the timeline is different in Extraction vs Downfall. In Downfall the Infector one is the earliest.
The marker being aboard the Ishimura already makes it more likely that the gunners were having their minds influenced by the Marker already.
The true "Maritime Horrors" from the Ishimura weren't the events that led to its destruction: it was the fact that the ship's captain didn't steer the ship directly into the nearest star to purge the horrors onboard, as well as the fact that the horrors were able to escape and spread across the galaxy.

Have you been to any industrial site (say like an oil refinery or a smelter ? - Nearly all of them are cramped usually by necessity - now take that industrial site and try to fit it into a horrendously costly spaceship (and try do do it) as cheaply as possible - and you will get the Ishimura style ship - industrial in nature to the core. It was basically a smelter, a mine and a storage yard all rolled up into one frame with bare minimum of space for anything else. This is what you get when function is put over comfort.
@@krzosu,
Sure that would apply in the real world. But the Ishimura was made in a fictional world. Where 'cost', weather it be for, materials, construction, whatever; Was not really an issue. The reason is because it was made by a 'Type 3 civilization'. We are still a 'Type 0(zero) civilization', so cost, space, and so on, could be considered.
But as it is, our type of economics, can not be applied to that of a 'Type 3 civ'; Because the amount of differences are so vast. I'm sorry; But your explanation, your argument, fails to hold any water.
@@buckrodgers1162
Actually in the lore of the series, cost was an issue. The Ishimura was the first planet cracker in it's class to be built. At the time of Dead Space, it was close to being retired as Aegis VII would be it's last job.
It's design reflects it's age, and it's construction during the back end of the resource wars. Compare it with Titan Station during Dead Space 2, or the newer ships in Dead Space 3, and you'll see the difference.
@@buckrodgers1162wasn't the Ishimura the first planet cracker made out of necessity in order to obtain vital resources from other planets? That civilization, while more advance, would be massive resource constraints just to build one Ishimura - and it was a hail mary at best. So it makes sense why it's so crammed - cost-cutting is still a thing.
Despite you doing this for April Fools I still absolutely love this episode as a fan of the Dead Space series.
I can't remember who pointed this out, but one thing I love about the ship is that its design makes it look like an open ribcage. From the moment you step foot onto the Ishimura it's a rotting carcass.
yeah. basically a product of humanity's failures.
Edit: did I start a war, or maybe it's just me..
@@trainenthusiast5199 Isn't it the opposite? That's a 1.6km long ship.
@@notjeih And is that necessarily a good thing? It's a testament to humanity's relentless expansionism. Faced with critical resource shortages, the people of the future didn't pump the brakes or live more efficiently, but devised gigantic carrion ships, greedily roving the galaxy completely destroying planets and even entire solar systems in the name of never ever slowing down. DS2 touches on it as well, even without necromorphs to ruin everything, humanity was on a destructive and unsustainable path.
@@diedbadly
That's actually one of the big reasons the events of dead space even happened. The markers were bait for resource starved species. As soon as you tap into it, they know.
Holy crap I never looked at it like that way before
You literally just became my favorite maritime/disaster channel for this video. Good. On. You.
I would not use the word literally; but this does speak well for Current Channel, simply because it's not the Flying Dutchman.
Should have a complete channel dedicated to stuff like this. These have to be the best synopsis of sci-fi/horror ship disasters available.
check out roanoke gaming. he's a microbiologist so all his vids are through that lense, but he does a great job of storytelling
Sometimes the best lore videos are made by those who make a one off video for fun
I was one of the very few survivors from the Ishimura, I only got back a few weeks ago.. Still having nightmares
RIP to my fallen crewmates, ill never forget stomping you for ammo 😢
Its what they would have wanted, shipmate
Keep their memories alive, and you’ll make them whole again.
Altman be Praised 🙏
Did you know that the mission list has a hidden secret in it?? Just look closel bro!!!
No Return
Ishimura
Galactic Derailment
GasLight
Afterburner
Unfortunately we will have to detain you since you now think you can earn credits by curb stomping babies.
I sincerely hope nobody downplays the horrific experiences of those who endured this event simply because of those who claim this isn't "entirely real". Shame on those who let such insignificant facts get in the way of true history.
The travel agent asked if blood made me squeamish, odd but I'm looking forward to my travels onboard the Ishimura!
Man you're gonna love it here. I've been working on the ishimura for 2 years and it's been a blast. We just discovered an ancient relic on aegis 7, can't wait to analyse it
@@zaer-ezartInteresting, how's the crew holding up atm? Work must be tough.

as someone who has never played or even really thought about dead space until now, and only recently subscribed a few months(?) back, I am absolutely blown away at both the quality of the story writing and visuals used to make this video, and how incredibly plausible and realistic all the details sound
except also now very scared because I cannot handle horror for the life of me
overall, fantastic job on creating this though, 10/10
get dead space remake 😈 i can keep u company when u play
Yeah dont play Dead Space if you cant handle horror. The anxiety this game provides is a testament to how great of a story and game it was. Me and my best friend play Dead Space 2 every single year on Halloween.
Play the game! One of the most atmospheric games ever
Go play them -- they are probably better than anything new today.
I loved the first one better.. loved the ship and liked to look at the scene...
I tried the OG Dead Space 1 not too long ago. 15 minutes in and I couldn't keep going, my heart was just palpating too much from the friggin jumpscares
What a wonderful Documentary, I will show this to my grandmother
Grandma would love
To think that all this happened over 2000 years ago. My, how far we've come.
Most of the time, April Fools jokes make me roll my eyes to retina detachment. But this was gold.
Would love to see one about the _Event Horizon._ Nicely done once again!
Maybe next year.
And also one for the Antonia Graza.
My grandfather was a soldier on the USM Valor he was always so brave and when I heard that the Valor crashed into the Ishimura killing all on Board I was devastated, Grandpa always used to say back before his transfer from Head Security in Titan station "Dont open life pods without proper checking of the crew and its occupancy ive seen bad things come out of those" truly a loss😢
How old was gramps? Cause unless he was 16 when he had your father/mother then they were 16 when they had you, and you are only 8 years old is about the only plausibility of your gramps still being an active soldier, and even then he's getting long in the tooth. Or should I say WAS getting long in the tooth.
@@jamesb1988It's a fake post anyway. No Marine calls themselves a soldier, and the US Valor was a Marine ship.
You should get his advice tattooed.
I’m thinking about making a journey to the Ishimura. My gf and I got in a fight before she left with the ship. I haven’t heard from awhile, I figure a surprise visit will cheer everyone up.
Boy oh boy I sure do love cracking open planets and finding a eldritch alien artifact.. what's that disembodied whispering telling me to kill?
my husband was onboard the ishimura. he left behind two amazing children. we've tried to heal and hold him in our hearts as best we can, but i doubt anything will Make Us Whole again...
The video has been up for a year - late to the joke much 🫢
actually the ishimura was the first ship to employ asteroid harvesting tech. unless they changed that for the remake after learning that planet cracking is the DUMBEST way to get resources.
How so?
@@XH1927 because the ammount of energy require and ship enginnering required to crack a planet would make EVERY single crack a total waste of money. one of the reasons is that you actually need to go realy deep to get a ''good'' haul due to heavier and more valuable stuff being found closer to a planets core. in a asteroid you have even distribution wich means that even a rather small asteroid would be worth more than a entire cracked planet.
@@Irobert1115HD Ah, I see. Thanks for the good answer 👍
@@Irobert1115HD
Apparently it was worth it, else they wouldn't do it...
@@Bollibompa it isnt. thats the problem. its bascialy a scifi myth hence why its in the game.
Fair winds and following seas to our fallen crewmates. Thank you for shining light into this tragedy.
I hope that one day we can get a MH episode on the dual tragedy of the lost starships Cygnus and Palomino. Just a typical tale of a mad scientist and his haunted house ghost ship patrolled by menacing kill-bots and automated by the undead remnants of the once-human crew.
You know, Disney movie material.
Maximilian Schell is Best Schell. 1970s headshot already looks like a Gigchad.
My son is named after Maximilian the robot.
What movie is this?
I know someone else already asked, but what movie was this?
EDIT: Nvm, looked up the ships, it's called "The Black Hole".
Or how about the Legend of the Black Pearl? A Pirate vessel whose crew, having mutinied against its former captain, end up cursed to be immortal demon zombies, and had to hunt down every last bit of the cursed gold to return it to its rightful place and bring themselves back to life via a blood ritual involving a relative of one of their former crewmen.
You know, Disney movie material.
Well done. You did your research and conveyed the information accurately! This is a great informational guide on the demise of the USG Ishimura from the Aegis VII incident.
Love this! Two technical critiques: a supernova would destroy the entire solar system, and you talk about the orbits of space ships like they have buoyancy. That's a cool perspective but the reality of orbital mechanics is even cooler!
I will never forgive EA for killing this amazing universe. Dead Space 3 was a hot corporate ruined mess.
I mean some of it wasn't that bad but the love triangle was so unnecessary
The fact that the ending was a great big fuck you is annoying. The whole game series was for nothing, humanity is doomed.
If Dead Space survived you would be a black lesbian with sideshow bob hair in a wheelchair who spouts endless exposition and technobabble whilst insufferably talking about pronouns. Thank Altman it ended when it did!
I actually liked DS3 the most - story was nice, action was good, lore was excellent, and i loved the tinkering with the guns, co-op was a nice touch as well. From all 3 DS games the third one seemed like the best of them also in terms of aviable mechanics to the players.
@@krzosu Bro got touched by the EA Marker and is delirious now
If anyone hasn’t played Dead Space: Extraction it’s a must. Not at all like the other games, it’s a rails shooter, but it tells the story of what actually happened on the Ishimura and it’s seriously sick
All the rooms sound pleasent until you're running through them for your life, shooting off power tools
not gonna lie the calm moments were more terrifying than the actual combat , the suspense was killing me
I loved that you're only ever attacked on an elevator once but for the rest of the game you never feel safe on one lol. The game is a masterpiece
Maybe it's because I love these types of games, maybe it's because I love this channel, maybe it's a bit of both, but... MH's April Fool's episodes always fill me with a certain joy.
This is excellent. Good on you bringing a little joy to people with your work.
Honestly, I came for history content but I would absolutely love a series of sci-fi episodes, they are all interesting cases. Love your work anyway!
The idea of the Ishimura just… floating out there in space… that’s fucking horrifying. No crew, no bodies. Just fleshy ooze, and dead silence…
Fun fact.
The necromorphs arent actually dead once you dismember them. They're only immobilized. you could very well be fighting some of the same necros repeatedly during your playthrough
Don't know anything about that. All I know is that intact corpses will attract those damn flappy flaps. No idea what they're called. I call them bananas. Don't ask me why cause I have no clue.
@@Tumbledweebtook me a second to realize you’re talking about the infectors lol
@@Belmont-sw4bu Sorry! I'm bad with names, clearly.
I've been waiting for this for a long time hoping that you will make an episode about USG Ishimura. You just made my day! Cheers!
Most high effort april fools joke honestly found your channel through this and I am glad i did.
This is such a fun April Fools. Most people think a good joke is just: "Clickbait Title on Steroids". This is clever and well done.
"2508. I remember it like was yesterday, people in the Moon colonies just never stop talking about the "rumors" about what happened with the USG Ishimura. Damn, I lost two cousins there. EarthGov like usual made a investigation that lead to nowhere. What is happening out there, man? One of my cousins was a from the church of Unitology. Some look like good people, but they can be very 'pushy'. Every day I receive an invitation to join them. Without time for that, next week I travel to Io. So many job opportunities in Saturn. I will try my luck there!"
One of the highlights of my YT year, I seriously enjoy these and look forward to them every year.
Horrendous. I served on her for a while, never forget the things I saw. The CEC doesn't care about us survivors either. Thanks for shedding light on this catastrophe.
As a DeadSpace Fan, this was truly awesome dude. Loved every second of it.
There's always a crewman a day or week away from retirement when all hell breaks loose
Huge dead space fan, thank you for this ❤
I adore your April Fools episodes! I think I initialy found your channel through the Pillar of Autumn video, then started slowly munching through your backlog of various Earth ship videos. I'd forgotten that you had done the April Fools videos, too, so this one was even a surprise 😅
Someone said their father was on this ship. My aunt was too, systems engineer. RIP aunty xoxo rest in power
The haunting final transmission from the Ishimura: “Now… I die.”
Some still say that a transmission from Ishimura does transmit "This is the USG Ishimura, we lost our bearings, this is the USG Ishimura, I repeat we have lost our bearings. Mayday!" Then the transmission just cuts out and the radio is fried as a result upon receiving transmission.
Space is, after all, the ultimate maritime battlefield. You should do some more of these sci-if spacecraft videos from time to time. Great job!
Excellent as always. I follow a couple disaster RUclipsrs who do April fools videos. It's a great break from the regular stuff. Keep up the great work.
Make us whole, Maritime Horrors
I was already following this channel and loving the videos. But now that I see you're also a fellow Dead Space fan, you are an absolute GOD, sir. And not a world-destroying Eldritch god either. Certainly not a Brethren Moon. You're one of the good gods, sir.
This was honestly so well done, who knew pranks could be so beautifully done
This channel always satisfies. Great episode!
I having never played dead space came across this with no foreknowledge...now im delving into wikis and fan forums learning stuff, very fun ty!
I really wish you’d make a second channel to go about things like this more frequently I really love these been waiting a year for another
I would also love for this to become a new track for his content, he's clearly quite good at it.
You forgot the part of the Medical Deck that was entirely dedicated to growing babies in chemical vats so they could be harvested for organs, especially limbs that miners and other shipmates might lose in their dangerous jobs.
This looks like it should be a halloween special with all the spooky aditions and editing, but great video anyway!
my grandfathers daughters son was stationed on the Ishimura, he's never been the same since. because he died.
So... you died? RIP.
One of my favourite RUclipsrs and one of my favourite ever games! Amazing video as always!
To this day, I still have memories of the Dead Space between the Stars
Hey, don't you go and not give that engineer the credit he deserves, Isaac Clarke practically saved the world two times over. He was there at that colony, according to the survivor testimonies, he's a savior
I’m a big fan of Dead Space so I’m super happy to see that the Ishimura was chosen for this year’s April Fool’s video!
We gotta be in a bad spot if even the Solar systems asteroid belt isn’t enough
I think you should consider doing Space Station 13 for an April fools in the future. It would certainly be difficult due the the nature of the game, with the station's demise playing out differently in every round played. But a station destroyed by a mix of wizards, cultists, terrorism, and good old incompetency all at once just sounds fun.
Tragic loss,the members of its valiant crew will be remembered!
May the families of those lost find peace!
I was one of the bridge crew, I say was because I'm currently "vitally challenged". You have NO idea hard it is to type.
HE'S BACK!!!!!!! We missed you!!!! So glad you came back for April Fools day, it wouldn't feel the same without you!
Pretty sure the message to take from the games story as well as similar ones, is that mysterious artifacts of unknown origin and purpose never cause problems and should always be brought on board, never restricted in any way.
I'd honestly like if these movie and game ship videos came more than just on April Fools day. Really good stuff
I cant believe they made a game based off this
You've made us whole again with your video today.
It's an annual event now and mightily anticipated.
Thank you for entertaining us with such a well put together event.
I'm looking forward to the next video with my only hope being that it's not too far away. 😊😊😊
I subscribing. You have your thinking cap on! Thank you for covering this.
@6:23 I love how it took nearly 200 engineers to keep this thing running…. or just one.
Love these videos. Always look forward to your Apr 1st content
I love Dead Space, this was a fantastic surprise.
Great video, no Dead Space in it at all, just constant narration, All your videos are great, very in depth.
I feel like this is the most realistic ship in any science fiction story and one that entirely plausible to build.
Recently played Dead Space Remake and Google got sniff of it so recommended me this video, I I thought this is some serious video game lore channel. Imagine my disappointment when I found out that this was just an April fools video and the channel mainly covers real life maritime accidents
But in all seriousness, great content. I'm on a binge watch marathon
Can't wait for your April Fools 2024 video
This was so much fun. I would suggest doing more. Especially if you enjoy them
Thank you! Last April fools when you did the bistro o I hoped you’d do this ship and even commented! So happy to see it come true!
Bro I am so fucking happy to see a video come out today from you, I was worried we weren’t gonna get one. Thank you for telling the story of this tragic loss, respect on their MF names for real!
The fact I watched your Edmund Fitzgerald video and then saw this in my suggested video immediately earned a subscriber. I am already enamored by your videos man. Keep doing what you’re doing!
I remember watching the ship leave for the journey, and I always wondered what truly happened before it was found. I haven't been to Titan Station to see it, and I'm too busy anyway.
Truly awesome! I always look forward to your April Fools post! So well thought through! Looking forward to what April fools 2024 holds!
What no one tells you about the USG Ishimura is that there's a living god onboard, invulnerable to harm while rumors abound that the Marker can vanish at leisure.
At least on my go, had a dude A pose, break scripting and become untouchable, I was in tears for 10 mins. Then the Marker later bugged out of existence after the final Hunter fight, thank god reloading the save worked else it'd have been a full restart. Great vid tho, perhaps the story of the Orca next time?
Awesome. Incredibly detailed work, I loved it, also bonus points for the subliminal images of the marker hidden in the frames
I remember this ship. I was hired as a greenhouse technician assistant with the promise of promotion and a higher salary than what I made at the time with my old job.
Of course, I accepted the offer, but before it could go through, my employer told me that due to "budgetary restraints", I wouldn't be able to get in, so needless to say, I was bewildered and annoyed.
Now I see that it was probably for the best that I didn't end up going, and stuck with my old job. Rest in peace to those on board.
Cool edits. These are great additions to this channel.
