+SovietWomble dude i feel ur FEAR!!! im not gd with horror games lol i played some zombie game with a m8 few years bck and i was shitting it we went in this room to hide and i just turned caught a glimpse of the wardrobe oh god i saw a dead body falling out " thinking it was a demon zombie thing " " cant remmber what it was about " i screamed like a lil girl and im a 6.4 built englishmen lol my m8 was appsolutely ecstatic in laughter u could say my head wasnt held high in school the next day lol XP
CortanasRequiem a clever idea for a horror game would be walking around a space station like in alien isolation. But with nothing dangerous whatsoever. Just don’t tell the player that. People aren’t so much frightened of being alone in the dark. As they are that they might not be alone in the dark.
@@kurokitsune1939 Gone Home for example is literally just a walking simulator but it takes place in an old house where the lighting doesn't work very well and I nearly had a heart attack every time I entered a new room.
@@lordthor5951 Oh yeah. Played recently. I had no idea if the game had horror elements or no. So i was a little bit afraid early on (i had the turn all the lights on kinda gameplay). Shit got really scary when i found out the hidden passages. The progress was so slow there.
Lemonhead 15 that’s a feature on this game actually. At least on console I know it is. PS or Kinect camera can detect ambient noise in the room and translate that into the noise you make in game. Not good when Xeno is hunting you. The muffled screaming you’re forced to make is horrifying
You think watching someone else is scary? Try playing it yourself. Egad, this game was terrifying! And that's exactly why I remember it so fondly. It's one of the few horror games that was genuinely terrifying. Some other games come close and some even do the job Right, but most don't. Freaky/scary enemies is a step in the right direction, but atmosphere, and the soundtrack need to help too, or else all you've got is The Evil Within. Random dead bodies, a predictable story, and bloody ponds do not a scary game make. This game hit every note at the right time. If I had to make one complaint it's that the alien's pattern was predictable. It'd pop out of a vent, snoop around for a bit, then climb back into a vent for a minute or so, then pop out again, snoop around for a bit, then hop back into a vent. Once you made a rough memorization of that time pattern it was too easy to move around so long as you didn't make a lot of noise along the way. Oh, and lockers as a hiding space will almost-always get you caught.
+Zachary Cambetis I remember shivering with relief on reaching that save point. It's also worth noting that all of this is BEFORE I had really encountered the alien. That's in part 2 when it's AI is released on me. The environment is just so well crafted that the immersion came so easily. And it made everything feel so threatening without seeing it. It overloaded my ability to cope.
Y'know Soviet, that shuddering huff noise that the alien makes is called 'chuffing' it's the same noise lions make when they say hi to each other in their pride. He just wants to say hi to you!
When I started the video I was like: aww, it's not in VR By the end of the video I was like: Thank god it wasn't in VR, would have resulted in a heart attack or something
This entire video you were freaking out but when you get impaled you just say "bugger" like it was the most incovient thing and if that's not British I don't know what is
You know that game has an option to pick up mircophone audio and the Xenomorph reacting to it. That would even be twice as entertaining if Womble wasn't even alowed to make hysterical noises in fear of being heard and hunted down.
Womble is giggly and is hyperventilating, you can actually feel his shaking just by how much his breathing is shaking. While Ripley is more just light hyperventilation and generic heavy breathing that sounds much more composed than Womble's sheer panic and fear.

At its max, it will deliberately come near the player’s area. Then after a minute or so, the game tells it to back off for a while. That’s why the game is so intense- it’s designed to give you JUST enough of a break, but never enough that your fear will lower entirely.
Klaw Schafer Addition to that: The Alien is dependent upon a number of in game factors that are partially decided by player action.

I saw one woman's playthrough where she got nailed right after she boarded Sevastopol because she kept running everywhere. I thought, "Well, that answers that!"
@@davidthorp01 You know it, brother!! Up until I met "Axel," or whatever the hell that guy's name was in the first cutscene, I was being REALLY careful about making much noise at all. I didn't run anywhere, but I was walking quite a bit. After that? Hands and knees, buddy! I think the only time I ran anywhere was after the Joe saw me near the cafeteria after the explosion and I had to run for a tube to get away. I figured I was safe; there was so much background noise, I doubt the alien would have heard a Mac truck roll through at that point.
10:25 Imagine yourself in Ripley's shoes. You just looted a box and then you turn around and see a liquid slowly dripping from the vent. Even if it's just a spilled platypus precum i'm still gonna lose my shit.
I get scared at horror games because I'm anticipating the jump scare. I know it's coming so everytime there is a jump or an action that might end in a jump I shit myself 😂🤣
No "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHH" when you see an enemy, no slow motion replays on the screaming parts, can't tell is that your breath or the character one, start doing nervous laught for no reason.... This is maybe the best but REAL reactions video on youtube i ever seen from a horror game
It's his breathing. Ripley is not scripted to breathe heavily unless she gets shot or something like that, so... Yeah, the heavy breathing is Womble's!
I come and rewatch this entire series every year or two, it's that entertaining. I don't think there is another person who can play horror games and match Womble's level of entertainment. It gives me plenty of laughs and plenty of anxiety, I love it 👌🏼
His mad giggling reminds me of Rickles buying the farm in Romero's (R.I.P) Day of the Dead (The real one not the crappy wannabe remake.) watch?v=2fiv96GoZSI =)
@@nondescripthandle212 True, but User of Username was probably referencing to the way Womble sounds like a deranged lunatic who has lost their mind with how he's laughing at that timestamp. Which, as we can see by his recent videos he's fine now.
I'm not so much scared of the game as I am for Womble's health... The man sounds like he's on the verge of having a heart attack... or he's trying to run a marathon while recording this...
@@svary6440 Fear also makes your cortisol levels higher, which is generally bad for your brain and vascular system, leading to negative moods, poor decision-making, lack of sleep and an increased risk of heart attack in the long run, among a long list of other things which i don't care to list.
i have to say Soviet unlike most youtubers your reactions are the most human. My favorite reaction was when you first saw the Xenomorphs drool. i could hear the genuine dread and fear in your voice. 10/10 would watch again.
"It takes more than a silly computer game to scare me." Android jumpscare "OH NO NO NO NO NO DON'T COME FOR ME! BACK OFF, STAY BACK. ERRGHGHGH OH GOD OH GOD NO NO NO!"
Kelpy G Wind can happen in a ship with high/low pressure rooms. It just wouldn't be strong, and wouldn't travel through most of the station to some spot where he is.
Me watching this at 1 am: "ok everything seems to be fine in the beginning" Womble: "This is fine" **Cuts to pitch black room** Me: *"Nope I'm going to bed"*
If I remember once they called the firefighter because he screamed while being stuck in his bathroom. (Good call from them). I guess they wonder each times if he is playing or if they must call the firefighter again.
Matthew Wong Yeah, a classic in the horror genre, all sub-categories combined; with his newest Lich video, they make-ah-me SOOOOO SCAAAARED, of the dark, maaaaan !!!
Sean 48 Yeah, that was the point of my comment. They always give your character exaggerated breathing, but it is actually how some people breathe when they're scared
it is part of the fight or flight response, it means he has adrenaline running through his system and his body is keeping higher levels of oxygen in his muscles and blood in preparation for either. Easier to start a sprint if you dont need a warm up
Give the man credit, this is an intense game. I played with friends watching and I still got scared at points even after watching 3 playthroughs before playing it. That fear of going so long without a save point while everything around you threatens to take away all that progress is stressful.
I died so many times in that damn game that I got annoyed with it, and suddenly nothing scare me anymore. But watching this video, with you jumping and panicking, every little noise started to make me feel like there was something creeping up behind me even though it was in the video
Alien: Isolation is one of the very few story games I've really replayed, and this is one of the only youtube series I've rewatched. I'm back again. This playthrough is just so good!
I know Im EXTEMELY late to the party, but soviet you are easily one of the best content creators on this channel. Especially when it comes to horror games, with most people you can tell they are acting, with you I can tell you are ACTUALLY afraid and spooked, fear is not something that is easily acted. Plus its easy to tell when somebody is afraid of something when you are afraid of that same thing, alien isolation is EASILY one of the best horror/survival games that has came out in recent years (especially when you play on the hardest difficulty with lighting and gamma all the way down, so you can barely see jack shit without a flashlight (torch) or flare). And I wanted to thank you for your genuine fear, and also all the hilarious vids you make :).
Lol hope you had better luck than I did, later on, I ended up being trapped in a locker for over an hour, every time I tried to make a break for it the Alien would pop up again and I had to retreat back to the locker. The annoying part was there were only 2 exits from the room I was stuck in and an oval table no matter which way I went the Alien would pop up in the corridor I wanted to go and block me in lol At one point I remember playing chase me around said oval table with the Alien that didn't work out to well :P
Getting the flamethrower was the greatest feeling ever. I didn't realize how effective it was, so I never used it and just saved tons of fuel. Then once I found out, I saved and just spent the next hour and a half reloading and lighting his add on fire over and over again. It felt sooooooo good!
It eventually stops working if you use it a lot, the xenomorph will just run through the flames and proceed to cook you with said flamethrower. Well done of course
this is like the most legitimately terrified I've ever seen someone while playing a game

I didn't run anywhere, but I was walking quite a bit. After that? Hands and knees, buddy! I think the only time I ran anywhere was after the Joe saw me near the cafeteria after the explosion and I had to run for a tube to get away. I figured I was safe; there was so much background noise, I doubt the alien would have heard a Mac truck roll through at that point.
Womble getting scared is legit scarier than the game
I know; I'm afraid he's gonna hyperventilate.
You must have not played the game then😂
Two things.
Yes poor womble,
Second, THIS GAME IS HORRIFYING HORRIBLE
I feel like it just makes the whole thing more entertaining
Christian Roes especially when you wear ear/headphones.
10:25 Imagine yourself in Ripley's shoes. You just looted a box and then you turn around and see a liquid slowly dripping from the vent. Even if it's just a spilled platypus precum i'm still gonna lose my shit.
I'm sorry but all I could think of after reading this was:
*Sees liquid from the vent*
"Where's perry?"
I'm sorry, what?
@@Dizzy-izzy. platypus precum
“Platypus precum”
@@Dizzy-izzy. platypus precum
I've never seen a Game *DESTROYING* a player like that
He was anxious and nervous fRom the start.
Dude this is me in any horror game! I hate horror games they shit out of me.
@Levi Ackerman Clearly you never played wow.
Levi Ackerman yeah he got fucking owned
I get scared at horror games because I'm anticipating the jump scare. I know it's coming so everytime there is a jump or an action that might end in a jump I shit myself 😂🤣
"HA!! Enemies? HA!!" - Last words of Sovietwomble 2014

It got to the point where I couldn’t tell if it was Womble or Ripley breathing heavily lmao
Chris Snead Womble is more terrified than Ripley :v
Same
new drinking game, Take a shot every time womble says "Its Fine".
That's a great idea! If you want to be hammered in less than 17 minutes... 😂
It only took...six minutes...bleh...why is color so round...
youre dead if you do this
*_Alcohol poisoning_*
@@drakebloodknight7981 because light that's why
I just watched all of these and 80% of it is womble saying "it's fine it's fine" and "im not freaking out". 10% is locker simulator
LaBass666 him dieing
Shadowblaster2003 you are really bad at math
Cunicle I'll have you know I'm doing Pre-calculus and I have an "A"
Shadowblaster2003 i know im late but i love your comment your awesome
craft Lawrence *you're awesome
No "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHH" when you see an enemy, no slow motion replays on the screaming parts, can't tell is that your breath or the character one, start doing nervous laught for no reason.... This is maybe the best but REAL reactions video on youtube i ever seen from a horror game
Its the best
It's his breathing. Ripley is not scripted to breathe heavily unless she gets shot or something like that, so... Yeah, the heavy breathing is Womble's!
+Nil San Agustín Guerrero his Man-man Card got revoked because of this game
It's his breathing.
I can see that you watch a lot of pewdiepie :P
The way you were hyperventilating sounded like you were in a real situation where there are rampant robots and xynomorphs hunting you, Damon dude.
damn**
And I thought I can't handle horror.
you mean xenomorphs?
+Mroczny Prorok I'm sorry I can't spell a word that I only use once or twice in a century.
sorry
I come and rewatch this entire series every year or two, it's that entertaining. I don't think there is another person who can play horror games and match Womble's level of entertainment. It gives me plenty of laughs and plenty of anxiety, I love it 👌🏼
Same :)
15:32 SovietWomble and his descent into a mental breakdown.
PinkAxolotl it's like Walter White in that crawl space episode for BB
Ghost eh
His mad giggling reminds me of Rickles buying the farm in Romero's (R.I.P) Day of the Dead (The real one not the crappy wannabe remake.) watch?v=2fiv96GoZSI =)
2:38 "its fine, its just the wind"... womble... in space?
Cosa Nostra, there would be air on the ship.
But no wind though.
on a ship which is torn in half?
kaakeli laatotus not wind like we experience on earth outside. Vents on the ship create drafts/gusts which is pretty much wind
weredragon100 That is true.
Finally a RUclipsr with genuine reactions
you should watch fx gamer play this he's hilarious
*cough* pewdiepie *cough*
+kanota uzumaki leave
JJ Hurmuses ok well *brofist*?
fuck off kanota everybody knows he's just spazzing out
16:26 Everything here, from the slight glimpse of the Xenomorph to Ripley's death happens so perfectly.
I can feel the panic... It's making me panic as well. Dammit
Panic at the Disco
I think I was more nervous watching Womble play the game then I was just actually playing the game.
Frost Fire It's because Womble might genuinely die
Same
Frost Fire u stole my fucking Xbox gamerpic 😂
His reaction is so genuine and terrified that it makes it so much scarier to watch
I Know Right? Damn this is gold.
I got one better for ya. Being able to feel what happened to ya in a scary game
He is the only horror game player I watch for that reason it’s indescribably better
7 years old, and this content is still top tier compared to todays entertainment
for real
15:33 how people really break down. Good job man, you really play the part of the scared-as-shit-survivor
This Video is The Gold of Scary Games Gameplay on RUclips, damn i love it!!
Hes not playing any part, he genuinely scared to shit
@@nondescripthandle212 True, but User of Username was probably referencing to the way Womble sounds like a deranged lunatic who has lost their mind with how he's laughing at that timestamp. Which, as we can see by his recent videos he's fine now.
I'm not so much scared of the game as I am for Womble's health... The man sounds like he's on the verge of having a heart attack... or he's trying to run a marathon while recording this...
Yeah, thought the same!!😅
Fun fact: Fear actually makes your heart stronger.
@@svary6440 Fear also makes your cortisol levels higher, which is generally bad for your brain and vascular system, leading to negative moods, poor decision-making, lack of sleep and an increased risk of heart attack in the long run, among a long list of other things which i don't care to list.
They should hire womble to do voice acting for horror games (the main character breathing hard)
He would be great tho.
Womble could voiceact for ripley honestly, the sound of gasping for air and sniffing is just too
good
He sounds like a woman too
i have to say Soviet unlike most youtubers your reactions are the most human. My favorite reaction was when you first saw the Xenomorphs drool. i could hear the genuine dread and fear in your voice. 10/10 would watch again.
Typhoon 10/10 have watched again and again and will repeat watching again and again
And he played it the way it was meant to be played. Alone, in the dark, at night, with surround sound headphones..
And watched whole series for like 5 times already, and discovered this like 2 months ago.
Typhoon It sounds like he's about to have a heart attack. It worries me.
"It takes more than a silly computer game to scare me." Android jumpscare "OH NO NO NO NO NO DON'T COME FOR ME! BACK OFF, STAY BACK. ERRGHGHGH OH GOD OH GOD NO NO NO!"
* Hears a noise in space where there is no wind* then proceeds to say its just the wind
Kelpy G Wind can happen in a ship with high/low pressure rooms. It just wouldn't be strong, and wouldn't travel through most of the station to some spot where he is.
Lil Hotdog - Topic Do you think noise wouldn't transfer on a space station?
This would be so much better with cyinide
There is actually wind in space it is what gives us the northern and southern lights come from
Connor Flannigan those are solar winds
This is the first time I have seen this playthrough and Im fucking loving it. Bless this man for going through this.
15:12 Womble sounds like a dog searching for food.
Ozzone hhagahaahhahahha
oh no you're right lmao
@@Ethan-mp7wr Except he was revealed?
Xyaena you’re right. He has been revealed. ruclips.net/video/bqa17IbhvPE/видео.html
@@Ethan-mp7wr That is just the skin of the Area 51 guard he killed and noone can change my mind about that
So this is what sincere fear sounds like from a youtuber during a horror game playthrough. I thought I'd never find that out.
There's also Jesse Cox (not a relative) playing Dead Space. It gets to the point that he pretty much craps himself when his communicator goes off.
Fake as fuck.
Superspec Not anymore
15:37 he's gone crazy Jesus Christ
Womble will become a psychopathic murderer if ever placed in a horror situation irl. I can feel it.
Awsome
I'm not crazy.
@@mypenisisunbelievablesmall6558 HAHAHAHA LOL
15:12
this is the sound of pure fear. i love it.
That run bitch message he got was hilarious.
Spencer Wines when
Mr Beanie 13:50
Cheers i found it eventually lol
scary terry sent him that message
imagine drunk womble playing these horror games
He'll just pass out during game intro😆
I don t want him to die pls 😅
*d e d*
*...Lights flicker...*
"OH GOD!"
**Vomitzes**
*_*Scared giggling*_*
This guy was genuinely terrified. No acting. A real RUclipsr.
#GiveWombleMoreSubs
He hss 2 mil
#givewomble100ksubs
but then again, if he were to have fame, there might be drama here and there, so i guess i kinda want to rephrase that.
uuh if he'd upload a little more he'd be cooler. 1 to 3 months of streaming for just 30minutes of a RUclips video... nah thx
u try
Me watching this at 1 am: "ok everything seems to be fine in the beginning"
Womble: "This is fine"
**Cuts to pitch black room**
Me: *"Nope I'm going to bed"*
"Bugger" the last words of Soviet Womble before he was eaten by a space alien.
lol
Womble should become a breathing voice actor in horrorgames
How very English of him isn't it?
I can confirm that, as a fellow Englishman, they are fine last words.
oh Bugger
You could really be a good voice actor for a horror game
Breathe really fucking hard
This was a constructive comment. I appreciate it.
It’s because that isn’t acting; he just scares easy. Real panic breakdowns will always evoke a stronger response then even the best faked ones.
Hunt down the freeman comes to mind
this game retains the spirit of the original movie quite well
The environments are amazing. Someone made a no-alien mod just so you can wander thru the station admiring all the level design in peace.
I wonder what Womble's neighbors think of his screams.
If I remember once they called the firefighter because he screamed while being stuck in his bathroom. (Good call from them).
I guess they wonder each times if he is playing or if they must call the firefighter again.
@@ebenezer576 I’m pretty sure his neighbors also said the screams sounded like a woman’s scream
@@ebenezer576 where did he say this ?
@@froggy-3187 it was a long time ago. In one of his bullshitery if I'm not wrong

God damn. This is the best horror play through I've ever watched. Your fear is unbelievably palpable on the recording! Insane work my man.

Yeah, a classic in the horror genre, all sub-categories combined; with his newest Lich video, they make-ah-me SOOOOO SCAAAARED, of the dark, maaaaan !!!
Alien Isolation: "you're just 28 years old" | Pavlov VR: "32 years old".
Damn time runs fast
He probably lies about his age but what we know is that Soviet is around his late twenties or early thirties and maybe still single
unknown player notice this video was uploaded in 2014, and also notice how the Pavlov video was uploaded in 2018, time flies
unknown player I read from a subreddit that Womble’s born in 1986, so he probably wasn’t lying.
Soo he's probably 34 now?
Soviet has aged a bit
I always thought the heavy breathing thing in video games was stupid. This video showed me it's real.
Jackson kavanagh isn't that womble
Sean 48 Yeah, that was the point of my comment. They always give your character exaggerated breathing, but it is actually how some people breathe when they're scared
Jackson kavanagh
M
it is part of the fight or flight response, it means he has adrenaline running through his system and his body is keeping higher levels of oxygen in his muscles and blood in preparation for either. Easier to start a sprint if you dont need a warm up
The Real Huckleberry Finn
Well, that's a really in depth analysis of it, but yeah. I guess you're right.
Womble: I’m not freaking out
Also Womble: *hyperventilating, heavy breathing, and definitely freaking out*
Womble hyperventilates more then my pc on a summer afternoon
abahaahha....im dead.
Like 70% of this is just soviet hyperventilating 😂
Holy shit I thought it's the character breathing heavily 😂
Legend has it, Womble hasn't slept to this day
Seth Steinmetz It wouldn't surprise me this game is scary as fuck especially the way he plays it
Give the man credit, this is an intense game. I played with friends watching and I still got scared at points even after watching 3 playthroughs before playing it.
That fear of going so long without a save point while everything around you threatens to take away all that progress is stressful.
And now I'm just picturing a xenomorph in a vent "oooh wwwooommmbbbllleeee, come out and play-ay
But in Cyanide's voice.
Nyota Mwuaji i understood that reference lol, never watched the movie but the game was great
Come out to plaaaaiiieeee
@@skullyozeez6781 same here
@@skullyozeez6781 I only know it from the TV show Archer
If this game had a mic feature thing where it picked up the noises you make, Womble would be absolutely fucked.
Ze D I'm pretty sure it does actually but you can turn it off
It does at least on xbox but you need the motion detector thing (i forgot what its called)
@@petercorti3617 kinect
He should play the game Stifled. Echolocation based game using a mic as input. Pretty cool game mechanic.
Welcome to the game 2 has that feature
Drinking game drink everytime womble says "it's fine" drink
KizzaButera lol we all would die
KizzaButera like in cs go? He was giggling like a little school girl
KizzaButera I'm gonna die of drunkness 😂jks
Zombiemonkey38 jks? Renegades jks?
KizzaButera Just died of alcohol poison 2 minutes in
No way this is 9 years ago. It felt like I'd just watched this last year.
I died so many times in that damn game that I got annoyed with it, and suddenly nothing scare me anymore. But watching this video, with you jumping and panicking, every little noise started to make me feel like there was something creeping up behind me even though it was in the video
The only thing that scares me is the music cues and Womble making noises ive never heard a man make
TheBirchWoodTree every man has made those noises at least once womble on the other hand........let's just he's not your average man
1:18, * in Morgan Freeman's voice * He was NOT okay.
More like the narrator from Stanley Parable. I just think that would work better
Scariest thing about this is watching him play with an empty magazine
So fucking true
Scariest thing about that is revolvers dont take magazines xD, you mean cylinder?
Christian Turner why you gotta be that guy cmon
leo townsend Magazines aren't even close to Cylinders, that's why.
Cloгох Вleacн
They both hold ammunition for a gun, so I'd say they're pretty darn close.
womble has condensed every horror movie ever into like 16 minutes in this video. impressive
he's 32 this year. lol.
Bleach Your maths is off. He's either 30 or 31 since it isn't October yet.
He was 30 when the first comment was made, he's 31 now. July 6. Still mindblowing though, haha.
Sounds more like he's 7.
Brad Torville I'd be squeaking like I was 7 too if I was playing this game
I was squeaking playing dead space 2 on the hardest difficulty at like 3 in the morning. Did it again, when I played this, and I'm almost 24 lol
10:32 well cyanide has been here.
Explain.
It's just the wind. Yes, the wind in space...
those pesky space winds, just, winding all over the place, yunno, like wind does, in space

solar wind?

Alien: Isolation is one of the very few story games I've really replayed, and this is one of the only youtube series I've rewatched. I'm back again. This playthrough is just so good!
I know Im EXTEMELY late to the party, but soviet you are easily one of the best content creators on this channel. Especially when it comes to horror games, with most people you can tell they are acting, with you I can tell you are ACTUALLY afraid and spooked, fear is not something that is easily acted. Plus its easy to tell when somebody is afraid of something when you are afraid of that same thing, alien isolation is EASILY one of the best horror/survival games that has came out in recent years (especially when you play on the hardest difficulty with lighting and gamma all the way down, so you can barely see jack shit without a flashlight (torch) or flare). And I wanted to thank you for your genuine fear, and also all the hilarious vids you make :).
on this site I meant, not channel, lol
Lol hope you had better luck than I did, later on, I ended up being trapped in a locker for over an hour, every time I tried to make a break for it the Alien would pop up again and I had to retreat back to the locker.
The annoying part was there were only 2 exits from the room I was stuck in and an oval table no matter which way I went the Alien would pop up in the corridor I wanted to go and block me in lol
At one point I remember playing chase me around said oval table with the Alien that didn't work out to well :P
Getting the flamethrower was the greatest feeling ever. I didn't realize how effective it was, so I never used it and just saved tons of fuel. Then once I found out, I saved and just spent the next hour and a half reloading and lighting his add on fire over and over again. It felt sooooooo good!
It eventually stops working if you use it a lot, the xenomorph will just run through the flames and proceed to cook you with said flamethrower. Well done of course
"Don't be that. Not now, don't be that." *Gets scared by door.* "Don't be that."
