Less than 10 hours? Must be more than 100 hours if you count the crashes, the bugs and the time you spend sleeping because of how fucking boring the game is
Of course, there should be another where Gandalf just wants out of this game and throttles Gollum “Pity? It was pity that stayed Bilbo’s hand; pity and mercy. Too bad I have none right now.”
the thought of gollum just suddenly dying during any part of this game is hilarious to me but dying during an egg hunt is definitely the most embarassing
i was thinking when charlie said "i'm about to have my own little gollum moment here" like maybe that's what it's supposed to do, it turns the player into gollum fighting with themselves to try and complete the game. doesn't get more immersive than actually becoming the character you're playing. jk ofc but it's pretty hilarious how that's the effect the game starts to have after enough time has passed. There's an actually decent youtube comedy idea in there somewhere
This game is clearly designed to make us feel every moment of torture that Gollum/Smeagol experienced at the hands of Sauron. The rest of it exists to allow us to also experience the PTSD and mental destruction with the game glitches and bugs merely a representation of our own descent into the depths of despair and hopelessness. Somehow, watching Charlie suffer the last part of the game has made my sad, pathetic life seem suddenly teeming with joy and possibilities. As long as I never experience this game, then life will be worth living regardless of whatever hell is inflicted upon my mortal body. As you said, a work of avant-garde genius. Amazing 👍
Charlie you've saved me. I haven't been able to sleepp for 2 days now, but around the 17min mark I actually fell asleep. Thank you Charlie, your sacrifice was not in vain

on paper there are some neat ideas here. A morality argument between Gollum and Smeagol that you control is hilarious but also potentially complex. Stealth and mobility aspects could harken back to classics like Oddworld: Abe's Odessey. Seeing some aspects of the LOTR universe from another perspective is a neat idea. It was all just a dumpster fire when they put it out
Beating this game should be admissible on a resumé, and if not that, at the very least should be a writing prompt for how you’ve overcome adversity for college entry.

Too bad the gameplay and bugs made it insufferable, dialogues always triggered at the wrong time, at the same time, or multiple time, and the gameplay was so boring 18:2721:06, and yeah, I think the game bugged out, because those dialouges are meant for Gollum route, that's why they're so mean and angry
I looked at the trophy list and its pretty bold for the game to assume that anyone would finish it twice, let alone once (only Charlie was brave enough)
Random comment but holy shit 13.1 million subs I started watching around a million subs and wow watching you explode like that without being a “top g” influenced or a Logan Paul proves to me that normal, cool, and real people can make it in content creation. Even somebody like me who has wanted to start making videos or stream for years but is just to anxious and shy that it’s very possible. Thankyou Charlie and all of the Moist team for helping me through everyday and reminding me that one day maybe I can pursue a streaming career even if just for fun on the side of my regular job. Keep up the absolutely amazing work we all love you Charlie.
I love how weeks after the game's release, it still hardly has any of the plot written down in its Wikipedia page. It suggests that either no one bothered to edit that part, or everyone kept adding absurd plot lines that no one could verify because no one's bothered to check for authenticity.
No matter if there’s a camera in your face with 10k watching or you’re home alone, the most humble you is always when your pet comes in for attention lol everything else stops for the moment
Before I watched this video I was down but in the first 30 seconds Charlie really helped me appreciate what I have done and far I have gone in perhaps the best game of all time. Gollum.
Im not sure if Gollum is the hero or the villain of this game, but I do know that we are the victims.

I looked at the trophy list and its pretty bold for the game to assume that anyone would finish it twice, let alone once (only Charlie was brave enough)
11:25
Charlie's reaction to Gollum dying is priceless
That intro was so damn inspirational. Thank you Charles, for that empowering sentiment
@@p-__ I get the idea of the other scam bot going around but what even is this comment supposed to mean
Thank you Charlie for playing this. Saved many from a miserable play through.
I need this right now. Breakups suck and I need to laugh.
"find a way to talk to the blind elf." You mean just talk?
We're off to a great start😂
Random comment but holy shit 13.1 million subs I started watching around a million subs and wow watching you explode like that without being a “top g” influenced or a Logan Paul proves to me that normal, cool, and real people can make it in content creation. Even somebody like me who has wanted to start making videos or stream for years but is just to anxious and shy that it’s very possible. Thankyou Charlie and all of the Moist team for helping me through everyday and reminding me that one day maybe I can pursue a streaming career even if just for fun on the side of my regular job. Keep up the absolutely amazing work we all love you Charlie.
Congratulations, hope you recover from playing this game to completion
Sending good will to all LOTR fans
Professor Tim Wilson is
I love how weeks after the game's release, it still hardly has any of the plot written down in its Wikipedia page. It suggests that either no one bothered to edit that part, or everyone kept adding absurd plot lines that no one could verify because no one's bothered to check for authenticity.
If you miss the first couple seconds really sounds like he's giving a heart felt motivational speech to us
18:33 me after my mother complains to me that I never do my chores after I just cleaned the house and made dinner
Can't believe you did this, truly a feat of human determination
At this point I have a feeling Charlie has a secret love for this game. No one puts themselves through torture willingly unless they like it
Gollum truly has the best ending in all of video game history.
Yes, it *ended* 😂😂
Charlie's strong-willed dedication is actually inspirational.
Gollum, in this game, resembles Rowan Atkinson's character, Mr. Bean, off a 7-day Mushroom bender in East London.
Charlie’s champion speech at the beginning syncs perfectly with the menu music 😂
No matter if there’s a camera in your face with 10k watching or you’re home alone, the most humble you is always when your pet comes in for attention lol everything else stops for the moment
Before I watched this video I was down but in the first 30 seconds Charlie really helped me appreciate what I have done and far I have gone in perhaps the best game of all time. Gollum.
10:01 "-friend?"
"Oh no... Smeagol... Now he's about to subscribe to her onlyfans and start sending DMs."
Dude... That made me weak 😂
@2:47, I thought for a moment they had thrown a grenade under and were going to try and gas you out from under the table.
Gollum is a cinematic masterpiece, someone should speedrun this amazing game!
I've been thinking about it and wondering about potential speedrun strats.
maybe the goal of this game is to turn you into gollum irl
"If i can beat gollum, you can do anything you set your mind to" Thank you Charlie... really... I needed that.
