    Fun fact: The Dodo in the original represents the author himself. He had a stutter and could not pronounce his name at times. His last name was Dodgson (Lewis Carroll is just a pseudonym), and he would often say "Do- Do- Dodgson" - hence the dodo figure in the text. Not really relevant, but I thought it was cool!

      Ikr? I usually have 2 different moods when watching horror games; either I wanna hear it in the background and giggle at the occasional commentary or scared moment, or I wanna watch the whole thing, get scared, and scream right alongside the commentator.
      Sean and Evelyn make it possible for me to do whichever one whenever I have my phone available

      @@BeakerInShortShorts I think the fact that men's mental health has been all but ignored for hundreds of years and men showing the slightest signs of emotional dynamics, vulerability, and/or fragility being told to "suck it up" and "man up" and "don't be a crybaby" have earned men a bit of leeway in the critical commentary of how many women in the world can literally express their feelings and emotions to the point absurdity and insanity on a near hourly basis completely unchecked in almost all circumstances by society at large. So yeah. The jokes are easy. Its easy to make jokes about 50% of the population given carte blanche on how they choose to act in public, be it sane, insane, logical, bat-shit crazy, or calm and collected, with almost no backlash from society or from a legal standpoint. Let me put this in a different light for a moment. Angry woman drives up to a nice car, gets out of her car with a knife. She proceeds to slit all 4 tires on that nice car while yelling expletives. She then jams the knife into the paint and walks around the car, scratching the car from end to end on all four sides. She then goes to her car, grabs a gallon of paint from the back, opens the can, and dumps the paint on the car. While yelling expletives. Then throws the empty can at the car. Then goes back to her car, grabs a ball bat, and busts all the lights, then proceeds to break all the glass, then randomly beats the car for a few seconds before she tires herself. Then she puts the bat back into her car and drives off. She didn't buy the car, doesn't own the car, but destroyed the car. Not only does she do this, but nobody bothers to stop her, and it is EXTREMELY unlikely that the cops would come while she's doing it. Sure... hte owner will call the cops, she MIGHT get charged. MIGHT. if she does, she will DEFINITELY release the waterworks and let the tears flow in court for the judge and she MIGHT pay a fine, and she MIGHT go to jail. But there's a DAMN GOOD CHANCE SHE WON'T. The whole time she's in court, IF she goes to court for destroying a 50k$ car she doesn't own, the entire time she's there, she's going to be talking shit about the owner of the car "he's a player/evil/mean/broke up with me/cheater/whatever I can think of to justify destroying 50,000$ worth of property in broad daylight in front of 200 random bystanders trying to walk their dog or bring groceries upstairs" and what she says about the guy may, or may not be true. But even if it IS true, none of what she says would justify destroying a 50k car that she never made a single payment on. BUT HER WATERWORKS, SOBBING, AND STORY MIGHT ACTUALLY WORK AND SHE MIGHT GO HOME WITH A SMALL FINE, OR NO CONSEQUENCES AT ALL. Its likely she'd pay a fine, but VERY unlikely she'd go to jail. Now let's look at this EXACT scenario but a man does it. He'd be on the ground in cuffs before he got the paint can open. IF he managed to do the same thing the woman did and managed to destroy the whole car and leave, and that's a BIG if, he would ABSOLUTELY be taken to jail. He'd ABSOLUTELY be charged. If he tried to cry and sob his way out of it, it would do ABSOLUTELY NO GOOD. During court, if he started crying about it, judge would NOT CARE. If he started calling the woman a bunch of names/cheater/evil/asshole etc, THE JUDGE WOULD NOT CARE. As a matter of fact, the MORE the man tried that tactic, the WORSE it would get for him. The judge would interrupt the guy, tell him to stop talking, and point blank say "Do you own that car?" "no". "Do you make payments on that car?" "no" "WHAT WERE YOU DOING DESTROYING THAT LADY'S CAR? ARE YOU CRAZY? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU". "I don't know... I lost my mind for a minute judge, and the next thing I know I'd destroyed her car. I'm sorry." "Sorry doesn't cut it. 6 months in jail, pay for damages, I'm awarding the plantiff 25k pain and suffering because now she's afraid to leave her house" "but your honor I-" "I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT. YOU HAD NO RIGHT TO DESTROY HER PROPERTY". That's the part people leave out when they complain about men making a few jokes about the absolute absurd behaviors women are allowed to get away with on a daily basis in western society. "jokes hurt my feewings" No. Jokes made you see the hard facts about life for a second and you didn't like it. More men commit suicide than women. More men are depressed. Men are often shamed for seeking mental health advice. MEn who express their emotions are seen as weak and treated as less than. The court systems are much more severe and less lenient on men that women for the same crimes. If a man were to do a "typical female public meltdown" there'd be 15 cop cars outside before he was able to stop to take a breath. But a woman can have a literal chernobyl meltdown over a latte not having whipped cream and 15 minutes later act like nothing happened, and everybody in the startbucks just goes back to what they were doing. If a man did it, they'd sit and talk about it for 2 days and every employee there would bring it up like "you should have seen this dude freak out and lose his shit over whipped cream. what a fucking douchebag". So yeah. Let's keep those jokes coming. Women have earned them.

      Wow son, I don’t know what you’re exactly going through though this essay about how all women deserve to be wrecked shows some signs but I was thinking about jokes about Alice being on her period making her angrier not once but continuously once she gets the blood boost was hard to hear after the second repeated joke in some male play throughs.
      I would encourage you to read some history especially about the treatment of women during the 20th century in North America. I hope it will give you a good understanding about who’s suffered more as recently as 20 years ago for all of human history, meaning your mother, your grandmothers etc. I’d also like to direct you to investigate other animals all over the planet that are matriarchal and in which the females can be seen as the bullies. What humans need is (hate to steal it here)but a modern solution for this modern problem. We all need to treat each other with respect and forgiveness. Tall order.
      On a serious note, I hope you have not been pulled into the manosphere. You seem intelligent but obviously very frustrated and angry with a dash of cherry picking examples of people, women or girls, being awful or receiving what you describe as preferential treatment due to their gender. Maybe, if the manosphere thing is true, you can research some of my recommendations above to break out of the echo chamber you might have found yourself in.
      Finally, I have hope for you to heal as you don’t seem in a good place. You are here on Evelyn’s channel and I hope that’s not just to rabidly look for “feminist” comments to shoot down but because you can enjoy her content and secondly you mentioned mental help throughout your response. I’m hoping that means you are thinking about trying some therapies yourself or already are trying them. I mean this in the most helpful way. If you don’t want anyone else to know because of the things you said above, literally no one else has to know. If it’s good enough for Jacksepticeye or countless other North American men, it stands to reason it would also help you to heal. Good luck 🍀

      Watch the Lemony Snicket's movie with Jim Carrey. The animated ending of that movie is what fueled the intro of this game. And the gothic aesthetic of the movie is pretty much what you see in the game as well. BTW, that movie's visual style was inspired by another movie called "The Night of the Hunter". That movie is quite a trip. I think you can see it here and amazon for $4. Or just watch some scenes for free here on YT as well.

Well, this thing lasted for all my childhood and adolescence, and sometimes my brother still call the games I love stupid. I wonder why people have to denigrate things others like or love.

      For some reason people have to phrase "not my cup of tea" as "that's absolute TRASH". Personally I love this game. It's one of my all time favorites. It has some flaws, many of which are due to the time it was developed so it should be forgiven. I remember the gameplay being so much damn fun. The art style, level design and Alice's dresses...It's all so gorgeous. Learning more about Alice and the world around her was such a great journey. I think it was genius for them to switch up the themes every time Alice re-visted Wonderland. It kept things fresh and interesting. Not everyone will appreciate it but those who do are my kind of people lol.

    American is trying to develop _Alice Asylum_ to release through EA since they have the license. It's not only crowdfunded through Kickstarter, but also crowd-designed through his Wednesday streams and Discord. There're a lot of cool ideas being tossed out, like giving the dresses cool powers. And also having actual boss fights, not like the fake-out here.

    If you’re quick enough to get up to that ledge at 14:43 you can see one of the mad children from the end of the game😁✌️

    I remember first watching an old playthrough of this game in my late teens (along with a playthrough of the first McGee Alice game), and I remember the open-world took my breathe away! This was around the same time Skyrim had just released too! ^^

    I definitely appreciate you playing this game, its sadly underrated. Its art style just makes wonderland beautiful in a dark and twisted way.

    I discovered Gab through this game (always loved it and wanted to see various gameplays of it, she stood out with her personality and appreciation for the game)
    Can't wait for Alice: Asylum to be out so I can watch her play it 😁😁😁😁

    Alice: Asylum should also get the hype like the other games are having rb.

    49:16 you should totally watch Madeyewlook’s Alice Make-up series. She’s a body painter and I think you might enjoy her take on this!

    Been really enjoying this!! Just wanted to leave a quick note. not sure if Gab or her editor will ever see this but I was super bummed that the fight around 1:28:30 was edited out. The longer fights are super entertaining to watch!

    You can shoot the Grinder without going into aim mode. Just lock on and fire

    Saw this game in a physical boxed PC versions all the time back in the day.. but for some reason I never thought to actually pick it up. IT looks so awesome. Thanks so much for exploring it with us.
