"make sure they don't have a lot of hairspray on." is such a layered line, lol. It implies he's set a girl's hair on fire, references his age and the hairstyles of the past, AND is useful. Wow. And I forgot to say this in the last vid, but arrowheads is such a kid/summer camp currency, it makes so much sense.
@@ahandsomefridge I mean... I already know the plot so answering this might be spoilery for anyone who hasn't played it. I just thought it was a funny line, is all!
Yeah Milla is kinda the first real weighty evidence of where this game goes sometimes. It's not just that she's got some tragedy in her past, but the fact that she actually locks it away and it really is a sort of secret in which she has personal torturing demons. Sasha's stuff was right there, just nicely put away somewhere. Milla's is repressed.
It's a shame Dan missed Sasha's second memory. It's about why he left his home. Apparently he developed his psychic skills while working with his father and read his fathers thoughts. At first Sasha was pleased to see his father remembering Sasha's mother. Then his fathers thoughts turned towards remembering her nude and it freaked Sasha out and he left home.
@@TheTyper you can actually also find some interesting background story of coach oleander, but I cant recall what hoops you have to jump through. It is in that room where he stopped Dan from entering if I recall
Dan, use more bacon! Not only is it delucous meat candy, you can teleport straight from a mind level to Ford to get a merit badge and go right back. Useful for not cluttering the HUD
I'm coming around on this. At the start, I was kinda put off by the art style, but Psychonauts is growing on me. And hey, maybe it's just Dan's infectious love of the game doing its thing, but I don't mind! I'm here for more of this!
While we're on the subject of character reactions to different powers; one of the nice touches in this game is that all the characters have reactions to powers you'd never get to use on them in normal play. You can see these reactions if you use the cheat codes to unlock all powers. Obviously, I'm not suggesting Dan do this, except maybe post-game.
Learning Millas dark secret about her children REALLY puts a depressing light on how drug infested the rest of her mind is. Like her whole level is one huge 70s drug party being used to try and bury her nightmares and guilt.
The first time I found Milla's nightmare room was the first time the game freaked me out, but also made me fully and wholeheartedly appreciate the central conceit of the game.
I suspect that if Milla was really burying her past in an unhealthy manner, that doorway would be boarded shut, and Nightmares would be trying to burst through in inconvenient places. They're not, so she's got the problem handled. Mostly.
It's less "drug infested" and more a happy face on a sad soul. She loves to make people happy, and people are happy to se her be happy, so she tries to play up her positivity in order to help others feel better.
@@Landis963 Definitely this. It's like Sasha said in the previous level, it's not good to completely shut things away and bury them up. It's about facing it and learning to control and compartmentalize it in a manageable way so that it doesn't have room to fester and grow into something much worse. Milla's not blocked off that part of her psyche or shut it away, it's just carefully and quietly put in a small, remote corner of her mind. By keeping it accessible she allows herself to face those nightmares and keep them under careful control while also not letting the experience dominate her mentality. It's part of who she is and rather than ignore it and pretend she's "moved on" or something she's accepted it and integrated it in a healthy way. This game was something else.
While I like this take I’m not sure it’s correct as Milla’s mind as well as sasha’s are described as healthy by the developers which a drug like mind desperately trying to suppress traumatic memories does not seem like
coming back and watching this after finishin the documentary about the development of psychonauts 2, and realizing that one difference between the two games that I don't think i've ever seen mentioned much is that while psychonauts 2 had more types of generic enemies, that could show up in any world after they were introduced, this game really did have more world-specific enemies. I think the only enemies from psychonauts 2 that come to mind as being specific to a single world are the teeth from loboto's world... everywhere else just used the same batch of enemies, in different clothes. here, on the other hand, we have the grabby vines in the brain tumbler experiment, the planes, tanks, and warships in lungfishopolis, and (while they technically appear in one other world) the nightmare demons in milla's hidden trauma room)
You keep complaining about the subs in the cutscenes.. I think they're fine. They help with reading them on RUclips without having to go full-screen, and they help people with poor vision read them too
One of my personal favorite things about this game are Raz's idle animations. They really shine in the milkman conspiracy, but every single level is just a new treat when you get to see Raz settle into the environment for a minute. Gosh this game is fantastic, I'm so happy you're playing it!
I think it's really cool how these levels remind me of the Palaces in Persona 5 or dungeons in Persona 4. I wouldn't be surprised if the team at ATLUS were inspired by Psychonauts.
I'm fairly certain that Persona, as a series, predates Psychonauts. I'd need to do research to see if the inspiration flowed the other way (i.e. ATLUS inspired Double Fine), but I wouldn't be surprised if it were so.
Persona as a series pre-dates Psychonauts, but things didn't get particularly 'here's a landscape informed by the specific traits of a singular character' until P4 which was released in 2008. Psychonauts was released in 2005. That said, I don't really feel like one was inspired by the other because three years is more than enough time for P4 to have been in preproduction before Psychonauts came out and also the language barrier seems like it would have made it harder for any kind of inspiration thing? That said, it is kinda spooky in the parallels.
@@TheRealPentigan nintendo has not one, but two small town cryptids that inspired the alien segment from majora's mask, and the pokemon sableeyes (Flatwoods monster and hopkinsville goblin), Language barrier isn't much of a problem.
Milla: Do you have some problems with water? Do you want to talk about it? Raz: Long story, not now Milla: Ok, just remember its normal for boys your age Was everybody cursed to drown in water no matter what?
You know Dan, the controls turned me away from playing this, but this episode has sold me. I'm gonna play this. Sorry but this may be the last episode I watch for a while. Will catch them as in progress though so have fun. Love your work dude!!!
35:00 I had seen the memory vault when I played the game, but I missed that other room entirely, that’s really dark. I had a thought, it’s cruel but what happens if you use pyro on Milla?
Supposedly she has her nightmares under control, which is why they're all locked up like that. I don't remember if I tried it, but I would expect her to laugh it off. I get the feeling her party-headspace is largely a coping mechanism (the dangers of being a psychic: self-medicating with psychic powers rather than actually dealing with your personal psychosis)
In case he doesn't try it out... if I remember correctly, she says something along the lines of 'please Raz, it's hot enough as it is. This is polyester, darling'. It's not exact, but I'm pretty sure it's close.
My friend discovered you can TK the other campers off the platforms. They don't react, they just keep dancing where they land, but it sure was a funny thing to realize you can do. Also, in the collective consciousnesses, my friend discovered a lone, floating panel way off to the side. It looks like one of the credits you see on the title screen, but it's so far out of the way that we couldn't make out what it said. Just a thing I thought I'd mention since I've never seen anyone else take note of it.
For the sequel, I wonder if Double Fine will be designing and writing it like a stand-alone or if they’ll treat like the player is already familiar with the first game. I imagine they’ll try to make it work on its own since more people are familiar with the title but nothing else.
Would be a fantastic playthrough but that thing can go 100+ hours if you do size stuff. And Dan is addicted to side stuff so unless it is a patreon choice I dont think we will see him play it.
You:"Ooo! A safe!" Dogen: "AAA! He's trying to take my brain! Someone help!" Also, 19:59 Lily would totally punch him for saying that! And speaking of her, 27:17 I didn't know they showed them off this early in the game! And WOW! Mia sure is casual about Raz seeing her darkest memories! I would be SUPER ticked off! I still like this Sonic style race though!
First character designs straight out of a Henry Selick movie, now a level that's basically a giant Deee-Lite music video. There really is nothing quite like this game.
Don’t think I got the joke line with Raz making a joke with the hamburger, still it shows how much there is in interaction with the game, also definitely a fun level with the physic hovering, until the secret room was found, then you just take a moment to process and feel sorry for her, still least she tries to be a supportive miss.
If nien says your not alouf in your own head cause your insane it could be because if your insane your not in the right mind witch is quite the clever joke
Poor, poor Mila I guess I understand why she turned into a 70 party girl and tries to bottle up that horrible tragedy. The whole lvl made me think about the Groove is in the heart video I hope there will be some way to help Mila with her nightmares either in this game or part 2 thanks for playing you are amazing and this game is great but my mobility is too low for this kind of platformer so its nice to watch you play it I love it. Edit after reading some of the comments I understood that you can't fix trauma like that some part does stay with you but you can control it/ keep it in check like Mila. My first thought was to fix it but you are so right now I feel dumb but I guess that's just the gamer mentality. First thought is to fix / win everything but this game presents something very deep as a person in therapy working true my trauma ATM this brings me hope thank you once more for playing this Dan without your videos and the wonderful comments from the comunity here I would not have this epiphany much love
Being a psychic in the immediate proximity of a dozen children burning to death. That's... OOF. I'm not sure if her bubbly outward personality is a sign that she truly has coped with it, or a sign of deeper psychosis.
@@aradraugfea I would say somewhere in-between. She's probably back to mentally healthy by normal standards, but the incident seems to have left her with two lasting emotional scars: The first being an almost-smothering overprotectiveness towards children, and the second, in contrast, a lack of trust in herself to be an effective guardian. It's why Raz can't just turn to her for help when things at the camp start going awry. Sasha and Ford both offer help and support to keep Raz as safe as possible without halting his forward momentum, but Milla would try to keep Raz safe by _stopping_ him from trying to fix things, even though she knows she'd be unable to focus on solving the problem herself, so long as there are children at risk. One key to good writing in a child hero story is to ensure there are legitimate reasons why the adults in the story aren't able to save the day without a child's help.
@@aradraugfea I think the fact that they are still there and locked away means that they are suppressed, not delt with. So I lean towards the second option.
@@aradraugfea I hate to be a pedant, but psychosis isn't the word you're looking for here. Psychosis means a complete disconnection from reality, not just an underlying mental health issue. Mila might have had depression in her past which might inform her character in the present, but she's not in danger of having hallucinations and being unable to tell them apart from reality.
If they ever do a Remaster of this game (this year would be an excellent time now that Psychonauts 2 is on the horizon) I hope that they do reduce the price for the Cobweb Duster (since it's actually required at one point) and that they put Levitation on its own, seperate button, because it's that essential of a power (With the reduced price for the Duster you could also add a Figment Radar because trying to 100% this game can take some time otherwise)
I'm almost certain that in the sequel Levitation will be an automatic power rather than a mappable ability. So any quality of life improvements done for the sequel should naturally follow through in a remake.
Just a little warning to anyone not in the best mental state right now. Maybe consider skipping forward by around a minute and a half at the point before where he jumps into a chest while a character doesn't want him to. It probably won't be a problem for most people but I've been having a bit of a hard time mentally lately and that part really messed me up. So just in case maybe consider skipping it.
As someone who HAS bothered to collect everything in this game, it is probably not worth it. Getting EVERY figment is pretty hard, a few are hidden in ridiculous places that you basically will only find with a guide, and they don't unlock any story stuff that I remember.
I hate collecting Figments in Milla's level especially in the race Section if you go up and down it there is a lot of backtracking and it's extremely slow not to mention in the other sections of her level I sometimes miss one and have to go on a 1 hour search.
I always got graphic glitches as soon as the levitation ball game in play. Bot those were the old days, before I got a graphic card upgrade. And then joy happened.
Yes, and he was also the VA for Billy from The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy. Dude's voice is just naturally cartoony, and is actually normally higher pitched than Raz's tone.
Hey, now that you have the levitate power you have some neat glitched traversal options. I learned about them watching a speed run that had the double fine developers sitting in and watching in delighted horror. It can be found here: ruclips.net/video/lsDc1YVxHA0/видео.html

Edit 2: he did not You missed a funny piece of interaction between Raz and Lili. Before you get your Psyblast training from Sasha, if you go back to the GPC up top you encounter Lili. -deleted text- edit: Well, not exactly as I remembered. Correct scene is as follows; Raz will meet Lili, she'll be assuming Raz's going to the "advanced training" Raz will say yes; he only has a few days to become a Psychonaut. Lili will retort that the Psychonauts aren't what they used to and their public standing. Raz will state that there are several things that need psychic investigating. Lili: "You are so immature!" *Lili's thoughts* : "And cute. When are you gonna just shut up and kiss me?!" Raz: "Shut up and do what?" Lili: "Oh! I didn't know you could.. Erh, I gotta go, bye!" *Lili's thoughts as she runs away* : "So embarrassing!"
3:10: Apparently, he's too cool. I'm kinda shocked. 9:00: No fair, I said that in the last video's comments! Like...maybe an hour ago, by the time I actually finish this comment/video? 27:45: Yeah. Their budding friendship is a lot of fun when the game isn't trying to force a romantic subplot on us. And yes, I'm probably going to end up complaining about that every time Lili shows up, and I'm only a little sorry about that. 47:40: Worse than losing to Bobby Zilch is losing to him twice _for the exact same reason._ Oops.
Psychopath and sociopaths (both are diagnosed as having Antisocial Personality Disorder) actually tend to be rather charismatic, since their condition doesn't impede the development of interpersonal skills like reading faces or body language. Neutral or monotonous voices are usually associated with Schizoid Personality Disorder, Schizophrenia, or even Autism. However, most of the disorders listed do not impede developing empathy or feelings of guilt, while individuals diagnosed with APD are infamous for lacking these traits.

Levitation in the hands of a speedrunner is hilarious. There's a technique with it that allows Raz to pretty much fly, breaking most levels.
Dan, use more bacon! Not only is it delucous meat candy, you can teleport straight from a mind level to Ford to get a merit badge and go right back. Useful for not cluttering the HUD
I'm coming around on this. At the start, I was kinda put off by the art style, but Psychonauts is growing on me. And hey, maybe it's just Dan's infectious love of the game doing its thing, but I don't mind! I'm here for more of this!

You don't need to be super completionist about figments, but you should at least try and get both vaults for every character.

If they ever do a Remaster of this game (this year would be an excellent time now that Psychonauts 2 is on the horizon) I hope that they do reduce the price for the Cobweb Duster (since it's actually required at one point) and that they put Levitation on its own, seperate button, because it's that essential of a power
(With the reduced price for the Duster you could also add a Figment Radar because trying to 100% this game can take some time otherwise)
I'm almost certain that in the sequel Levitation will be an automatic power rather than a mappable ability. So any quality of life improvements done for the sequel should naturally follow through in a remake.
Wow that levitation looks so fun both if it were real, and as a game mechanic
Also did the bears do a Usain Bolt pose when they died...?
Dan, I hope you get to play the psychonauts VR game someday
Just a little warning to anyone not in the best mental state right now. Maybe consider skipping forward by around a minute and a half at the point before where he jumps into a chest while a character doesn't want him to.
It probably won't be a problem for most people but I've been having a bit of a hard time mentally lately and that part really messed me up.
So just in case maybe consider skipping it.
OOOH That's mah last cob-web dusta!
Tomorrow can't come fast enough
Do tou plan to do the VR game as well? It's set right after this game.

As someone who HAS bothered to collect everything in this game, it is probably not worth it. Getting EVERY figment is pretty hard, a few are hidden in ridiculous places that you basically will only find with a guide, and they don't unlock any story stuff that I remember.
The first race? Fun. The race when you try to get all the figments. Not so fun...
Collecting 100% of the figments is the only thing keeping this game from being fun to 100% imo, oh and the punching minigame can be a pain.
I hate collecting Figments in Milla's level especially in the race Section if you go up and down it there is a lot of backtracking and it's extremely slow not to mention in the other sections of her level I sometimes miss one and have to go on a 1 hour search.
I always got graphic glitches as soon as the levitation ball game in play. Bot those were the old days, before I got a graphic card upgrade. And then joy happened.
TV... Hackey Sack...
I love this game. I just had to watch lol.
milla is so 80s
Do Ras and Invader Zim have the same voice actor?
Yes, and he was also the VA for Billy from The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy. Dude's voice is just naturally cartoony, and is actually normally higher pitched than Raz's tone.
Hey, now that you have the levitate power you have some neat glitched traversal options. I learned about them watching a speed run that had the double fine developers sitting in and watching in delighted horror. It can be found here: ruclips.net/video/lsDc1YVxHA0/видео.html

Great party... with some serious wrong stuff... should you be poking those memories? xP
Edit 2: he did not
You missed a funny piece of interaction between Raz and Lili.
Before you get your Psyblast training from Sasha, if you go back to the GPC up top you encounter Lili.
-deleted text-
edit: Well, not exactly as I remembered. Correct scene is as follows;
Raz will meet Lili, she'll be assuming Raz's going to the "advanced training"
Raz will say yes; he only has a few days to become a Psychonaut.
Lili will retort that the Psychonauts aren't what they used to and their public standing.
Raz will state that there are several things that need psychic investigating.
Lili: "You are so immature!"
*Lili's thoughts* : "And cute. When are you gonna just shut up and kiss me?!"
Raz: "Shut up and do what?"
Lili: "Oh! I didn't know you could.. Erh, I gotta go, bye!"
*Lili's thoughts as she runs away* : "So embarrassing!"
@@FrogFr1 just checked, episode 3 @ 11:42
You are correct, somehow I had missed that :o
3:10: Apparently, he's too cool. I'm kinda shocked.
9:00: No fair, I said that in the last video's comments! Like...maybe an hour ago, by the time I actually finish this comment/video?
27:45: Yeah. Their budding friendship is a lot of fun when the game isn't trying to force a romantic subplot on us. And yes, I'm probably going to end up complaining about that every time Lili shows up, and I'm only a little sorry about that.
47:40: Worse than losing to Bobby Zilch is losing to him twice _for the exact same reason._ Oops.
You really don't like Bobby, uh ??
So, Veron's a psychopath, right? I mean, that voice...
Psychopath and sociopaths (both are diagnosed as having Antisocial Personality Disorder) actually tend to be rather charismatic, since their condition doesn't impede the development of interpersonal skills like reading faces or body language.
Neutral or monotonous voices are usually associated with Schizoid Personality Disorder, Schizophrenia, or even Autism. However, most of the disorders listed do not impede developing empathy or feelings of guilt, while individuals diagnosed with APD are infamous for lacking these traits.
Mr. Seemingly Expected
Just making a joke. I’ve actually been reading up on ASPD in my free time, but thanks for the info about the other disorders.

I just get particular about mental disorders, it's one of the topics I've hyperfocused on. ADHD giveth and ADHD mostly really just taketh away. Now to find the location of the 100 for the rent I had yesterday that my brain deleted the memory of...
