in this episode of yiik. alex finally gets a taste of his own medicine as a robot holds him in place as she vomits copious amounts of asinine dialogue directly into his ear's for 20+minutes
The dialog Chris skipped is the best. Essentia 2000 basically says she was created by a dying scientist named Nalia El-Amin. Except she wasn't created by her. She was created by a scientist in a different reality named Vladamira Tesar. Don't ask how Nalia El-Amin fit into that. In fact, forget about Nalia El-Amin, she wasn't important.
I wish chris didn't spaz out and skip the dialog. He knows this is a let's play of a story heavy rpg, right? I mean, I guess I don't blame him but still, would have like to have seen it.
I've never seen a game with so much dialogue ABOUT its own dialogue. "Let me explain what I mean by that. First, I'm going to tell you about this other thing. You're probably wondering what I'm about to say, right? Before I begin, I'll ask you this. Now I'll get to the question you have for me." It's entire lines that could have been cut, with no change. I'm baffled.
It's Twitter speak. "We need to talk about... Thread: ... As _this_ type of person..." It's like announcing that you're going to speak instead of just speaking. I hate it.
finally, they've reached the best character, robot who they couldn't decide what they wanted to do with, since they clearly just wanted to make their own aigis persona 3 but they also wanted it to be a soulless monotone robot. so you get the juxtaposition of her being so boring and have no emotion but also smiling and giving a peace sign when you win a fight, and they never feel the need to acknowledge it or make something of it, like maybe say that the only things that gives her a semblance of joy are murder and alex's microcock and that's why she gets happy after battle.
Is clear they didn’t know what the fuck do with the robot character. The cut ending vs the standard ending go in two very different places to reconcile it.
Here's my prediction for how this game ends: The entire plot to this game is revealed to be an elaborate lie that Alex told his mom in order to avoid getting a job.
I love that bit where Chris goes "I can't, can you? I can't." Just that moment when the exposition has broken this man who was already broken to begin with tbh.
He’s clearly more difficult to break than me. I usually skip a game’s entire plot the moment I realize it’s just another generic JRPG plot. I most recently did that with SEGA’s Shining Resonance: Refrain, before giving up that game entirely because it was stupid teenage weeb pandering.

From the rat chase, to declaring that the exposition to be over, only for the worst parts of the plot to finally surface, to Ding dong’s impression and then finally Chris button mashing to skip the entire cutscene This truly was a golden alpaca of an episode
Julian is very critical about animated things being cliche ("Banal" as he puts it) and yet he loves the friendly voice and a sarcastic personality thing
And also all the off-camera conversations where they were talking about negative aspects of the game that just got more and more negative, like Julian getting so angry he stays in the kitchen on his own just fuming for a lengthy amount of time negative
Boy I sire do love having the entire plot explained to me again for no reason in an incredibly slow sequence only to go directly into another sequence where the same character goes into even more detail about a specific section of exposition I do not care about.
This is probably the clearest sign this was probably meant to be a book. The entire game’s writing reminds me of that one chapter of “The Portrait of Dorian Gray,” where it’s just 20+ pages describing the specifics types of gems Mr. Gray hoarded as if the writer was paid by the word. That was the point where my English teacher’s attempt to make me actually enjoy reading in my free time backfired spectularly. I could very well see a novel version of YIIK becoming popular young adult trash like Twilight, too.
@@JeffreyThrash Wow, your teacher was ass, mine made us read "the outsiders" and it's side story, the later unintentionally got me into reading fanfiction.
@@davidguyette2586 That makes sense. That also means I probably should stop letting my parents hover over me when I draw or animate.

Essentia says "many months ago" has the same energy as the Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future saying "thousands of years ago" in Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
It is on Xbox Game Pass, so you don’t have to permanently “own” the game to at least try it for yourself. I’m sure the long loading times and other technical issues they’re experiencing with the Switch version are nonexistent if you play it on Xbox or PC.
I like to imagine the shithead Vella loved in her original universe was also the Alex of her world, meaning she has become soulmates with Alex as punishment for trying to play God. So it's clear why Semisammy Pakapark (middle name "Al") wanted out of this reality.
It keeps reminding me of that one scene in It’s Always Sunny where Charlie and Mac beat the s*** out of some children unprovoked. The difference, of course, is that the comedy in this instance comes from fans knowing Charlie and Mac are supposed to be unlikable and ruin the lives of innocent Philadelphians, and they keep sinking to new lows. On the other hand, we are expected to sympathize with the YIIK cast.
I have to imagine we truly are nearing the end of oneystays. Really glad they decided to sparse out the last chunk of episodes with the newer recordings as well. This Yiik finale is bound to be q u i t e emotional
It was going so well, the writer just figured out how to not constantly exposition dump on the player and then the essentia 2000 just fucks that up, that entire segement had to be written at the start of development or something, its too simmilar to the long winded paragraphs at the start of the game
Maybe is because the main party ends no mattering at all in the endgame. To the writer may as well be props given what happens in the end. Essentia is given way bigger role even if the games is at its last third leg.
I swear Vella's speech against the goth kids made me unreasonably angry. Like, I don't believe one bit Alex was supposed to be written as an horrible person, considering every member of the party is horrible and written in the same voice more or less. It would have been more interesting if Alex was the only good natured guy in a world of self-centered degenerates.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets the impression that one single person wrote all of the dialogue in this game without even bringing on an editor.
@@Wupar It seems all very amateurish, like the first draft of a book. The game writer, considering his response to criticism, gives me the impression he was too arrogant to accept his writing had mistakes and just went for the usual "it's symbolic.

This series is a ring in purgatory from the divine comedy. Endless self inflicted suffering but also not that bad. I love the funny boys, I'll always watch the episodes, but this game... This game is killing me. 💀🥀⚰️😐😐😐😐
That would be of been a interesting moment of development. "How about we call you Essey for short? Its more humanizing and allows you to develop into a more humanized character."
Sometimes I watch these cutscenes in yiik and all I can think to myself is “this is really stupid….” Lol yet here I am completely addicted to this weird ass game.
Hahaha! Wasn't it so funny when Alex got vored by the hot robot guys? Imagine how hilarious it would be to slide down a robot's throat and dissolve in her stomach acid!
I started rewatching the YIIK playthrough and they were making kissy kissy jokes when talking to Sammy and Chris impatiently button mashed through the spiel the video game zine making guy outside Alex's house spouts at you in episodes 1 and 2. Isn't it amazing how history repeats itself
All of this exposition is making me grateful for how basic Earthbound's story was, there's a eldritch horror hell bent on destroying everything and 4 chosen children have to go on a journey to stop it. that's it, that's how simple it is.
Earthbound actually could have used a little more exposition on the Apple of Enlightenment instead of mentioning it without ever explaining what the heck it is.
Are they the only people to get this far in the game? Really can't imagine anyone not doing this for a let's play would get anywhere near this far into it
Guys, you don't get it. Sammy/Semmy/Semi/Sami Pak/Park gets called different names all the time because they're all actually alternate realities names. The clue was there the whole time, you just didn't see it. 2deep5u
They should've had Alex be the only to deliver monologues and exposition, but then also have him go off at other characters who try it. Like when Vella mentions specific hours/minutes, Alex should clutch his head and yell at her.
@@kingofthemoon3063 I've also been sleeping on the lore of yiik so forgive me for not knowing names, but the soul of a loved one becoming a monster is totally taken from the akuma. The dialog in Rory's story is eerily similar to the first chapter with the "x is that really you?" / "that thing isn't x anymore". This episode in particular irked me with the goth monster design that was pretty reminiscent of the level 2s and what became of Suman. The last thing was what the robot said: "the only requirement is having some relation to the departing soul" like the requirements for the contract signed to make an akuma.
Something that really grinds my gears is that we've literally seen Exposisencia 2000's model before back when Alex and the others listened to the record and he chased after Vella when she left, but have NEVER mentioned her until now, and gave us a massive exposition dump of a character that we've already seen but never acknowledged in the slightest. Even if she was mentioned in visions and whatever earlier in the game, the main character literally talks to her and doesn't reflect on it, but later has a dream and even fetishizes her as if he's never seen her before when he clearly already has
Okay, is the writer flat out saying he and that Lam lady are soul mates or something and that if events worked out differently, they could've been together????
A lot of what ive seen of this game and the dialogue around it, that does seem to be the case that the creator of yiik romanticized the final hours of elisa lam
11:03 That was revolting. It honestly sounded like those men who buy super realistic silicon fuck dolls. Alex gushing over a lifeless depiction of the female form... yeah, the creepiness just gets better and better.
I feel like that's the first exposition I cared about so far and speaking of saying the same stuff over again that's the 3rd time they've talked about the Semi Park name thing.

This series is a ring in purgatory from the divine comedy. Endless self inflicted suffering but also not that bad. I love the funny boys, I'll always watch the episodes, but this game... This game is killing me.
💀🥀⚰️😐😐😐😐
EVERY TIME YOU THINK ITS ABOUT TO END IT JUST KEEPS FUCKING GOING
The robot's exposition reminds me of the Christmas robot from ATHF telling its long, boring stories.
19:25 This is when they go "Ughhh I'm gonna need a bigger bottle..." and break out their comically oversized whiskey bottle.
Anyone else feel their already heavy eye bags get heavier every second Essentia talked
Alex: But i do not want to call you The Essentia 2000, can't I just call you Wifey McWifinton?
That would be of been a interesting moment of development. "How about we call you Essey for short? Its more humanizing and allows you to develop into a more humanized character."
I like to imagine Alex Yiik's skateboard is rocket powered, which is why it's horribly uncontrollable
I just figured it was because Alex is bad at skateboarding and refuses to learn.
It also weighs a billion tons
Alex Yiik is my favourite Rocket Power character.
"Yapper 2000" had me howling, ty dingy
Sometimes I watch these cutscenes in yiik and all I can think to myself is “this is really stupid….” Lol yet here I am completely addicted to this weird ass game.

Ya beat me to it!
Hahaha! Wasn't it so funny when Alex got vored by the hot robot guys? Imagine how hilarious it would be to slide down a robot's throat and dissolve in her stomach acid!
Chris' genius solution @5:12 goes completely under the radar; it made me crack up :)
I could feel myself withering away when the robot started talking. Thankfully, Chris spared us all.
In the other plot tree, if you don't try to kiss Rory, the robot talks twice as long
I started rewatching the YIIK playthrough and they were making kissy kissy jokes when talking to Sammy and Chris impatiently button mashed through the spiel the video game zine making guy outside Alex's house spouts at you in episodes 1 and 2. Isn't it amazing how history repeats itself
Oh thank god. Finally another yiik video, I've been hooked on these like a Japanese middle aged man to alcohol after a hard shift
"What the HELL is going on?" Is my favourite phrase so I'm glad this game includes it so often.
* insert obligatory “Alex has yet to get the groceries” comment *
It isn’t obligatory
It’s mandatory
His mom's actually the Superboss near the end game Mind Dungeon, she has a God Lance and the flag at the end of it is a Grocery List.
Yeah I’ve seen it become top comment in two episodes.
I’m legitimately grateful to the editor for summing that part up. God help me, I was considering going to the wiki.
Only took 29 episodes for Chris to finally start skipping the exposition.
All of this exposition is making me grateful for how basic Earthbound's story was, there's a eldritch horror hell bent on destroying everything and 4 chosen children have to go on a journey to stop it. that's it, that's how simple it is.
ok now play it
Earthbound actually could have used a little more exposition on the Apple of Enlightenment instead of mentioning it without ever explaining what the heck it is.
Are they the only people to get this far in the game?
Really can't imagine anyone not doing this for a let's play would get anywhere near this far into it
Guys, you don't get it. Sammy/Semmy/Semi/Sami Pak/Park gets called different names all the time because they're all actually alternate realities names. The clue was there the whole time, you just didn't see it.

The mall would be a great place to pick up some flippin' groceries.
Just look in the trash cans!
im convinced that YIIK is actually the story of Alex YIIK's slow but sure descent into madness
They should've had Alex be the only to deliver monologues and exposition, but then also have him go off at other characters who try it. Like when Vella mentions specific hours/minutes, Alex should clutch his head and yell at her.
I love how Exposition 2000 snaps Oney, and he starts skipping the dialogue
Nobody else is gonna get this but the amount of shit the creator has just straight ripped from D.grey-man is astounding
I slept through most of D greyman and can't remember it well. Which parts was it he ripped off?
@@kingofthemoon3063 I've also been sleeping on the lore of yiik so forgive me for not knowing names, but the soul of a loved one becoming a monster is totally taken from the akuma. The dialog in Rory's story is eerily similar to the first chapter with the "x is that really you?" / "that thing isn't x anymore". This episode in particular irked me with the goth monster design that was pretty reminiscent of the level 2s and what became of Suman. The last thing was what the robot said: "the only requirement is having some relation to the departing soul" like the requirements for the contract signed to make an akuma.
No its intertextual references its ok
So Mr. Yiik questions why he is obsessed with an android but not why tried to kiss Rory
I love how this game such a slog that even Oney has to mash through the dialogue
The word Pretentious keeps coming to mind.
The pretentia 2000
Thank you Camera Colossus, I was not prepared to spend my afternoon reading that android's exposition.
Something that really grinds my gears is that we've literally seen Exposisencia 2000's model before back when Alex and the others listened to the record and he chased after Vella when she left, but have NEVER mentioned her until now, and gave us a massive exposition dump of a character that we've already seen but never acknowledged in the slightest.
Even if she was mentioned in visions and whatever earlier in the game, the main character literally talks to her and doesn't reflect on it, but later has a dream and even fetishizes her as if he's never seen her before when he clearly already has
in this episode Alex learns about vore from a robot girl
MOM GET OFF THE TV I GOTTA WATCH YIIK
*All the good channels are blocked*
Now THIS is a certified WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON moment
Foolian spoke too soon and got YIIKed for it.
Okay, is the writer flat out saying he and that Lam lady are soul mates or something and that if events worked out differently, they could've been together????
It’s not “flat out” if it takes dozens of lines of exposition to get to that point. But yes, he seems to be saying exactly that in a roundabout way.
No, and I personally think you must love drama
A lot of what ive seen of this game and the dialogue around it, that does seem to be the case that the creator of yiik romanticized the final hours of elisa lam
@@MrTrombonebandgeek he loves seeing little yellows getting slotted prbly idk
@@luan.galaxy epic gamer moment
great vid! oney really does play!
mad props to kyle for the summary , you deserve a raise man xD !
Just got home from work, just in time for more epic Alex Yiik content.
Oh yea, new oney plays got me YIIKing so hard!
I see YIIK, I squee
You sqyiik like a banshee when you see a YIIK video, I saw it
I LOVE BEIN IN YIIK

19:10
Oh my god, it's the dedotated WAM!
Having to use Banish to break the Gothic Entity's shield is actually a really cool and creative boss mechanic.
The painful moments like these cement this series for me.
Chris mispronouncing "ahegao" will never not be funny.
Oney Plays Ahegao compilation when?
He says it almost the same way every time too.
LET ME IN
11:03 That was revolting.
It honestly sounded like those men who buy super realistic silicon fuck dolls.
Alex gushing over a lifeless depiction of the female form... yeah, the creepiness just gets better and better.
Ah yeah, making a love doll out of a chick you had a crush on but never asked out that then claims its soul bond with you. That'll play well.
I feel like that's the first exposition I cared about so far and speaking of saying the same stuff over again that's the 3rd time they've talked about the Semi Park name thing.
I thought the Mall Rat/four-headed Rat golem thing was neat. The next part might have been improved with another pass or two for editing, though...
Oh shit the terrible essentia exposition scene, it must be my birthday
This isn't in the 90's... this is Tumblr times.
I simultaneously do and don’t know what you mean
Like the “dream of the 90’s” from Portlandia?
