I love how ridiculous this game is I suppose nominally it's a point and click adventure. Or perhaps a walk and slap adventure? But it seems really good about making new stuff happen every single time you go a place so you can't *really* get stuck in the same way you could get stuck on an obscure P&C. You just have one interaction and simply walking around and slapping all the things eventually will give you the solution.
17:03 glue is made from animal carcasses, there are some brands that are made out of synthetic materials but if you've ever bought a bottle or a stick of glue that says organic or non toxic it was definitely made out of animal bones and connective tissue.
Complaining about Margaret Thatcher certainly is. If you put the average northerner in a room with Margaret Thatcher, Hitler, and Stalin, and gave them a gun with two bullets, they'd shoot Thatcher twice.
A quick note for anyone who is thinking of playing this - keep re-interacting with *everything* and going back into buildings with each 'loop'. Nearly everything changes and the jokes progress each time. There's quite a few jokes Welonz has missed out on.
I hate that I can understand everything that's said without the subtitles. Honestly, this is a very accurate depiction of Yorkshire, the devs did a good job. Reggie's wife could learn a thing or two.
Roger kinda reminds me of Hey Arnold; People constantly point out the shape of Arnold's head, even though pretty much everyone in that show has a different/weird shaped head. Roger's not really *that* weird when looking at everyone else in this town lol
44:05 - He's saying "Jasper, you're proper doing me nut in!" which means pretty much what you'd think! Some of this is really hard to catch if you're not from there or mad into watching British stuff.
Was hoping for some Ecky Thump action, but maybe not Northern enough. Where the crops are growing is probably what's called an Allotment, being a small piece of land manged by the council someone can gain access to for their own own use, often for flat, (apartment), dwellers. Though I think it can be shared among a number of people.
It is SO CRUEL how in Roger's flashback montage, they give us ONE scene where he's happy, where his girlfriend says she likes his big head. And even when a bully in the cinema throws popcorn at Roger, he doesn't care and he's still smiling; because in that moment, he feels loved for who he is, and that's all he needs. But then they take that away IMMEDIATELY in the following shot; oh noooooooooo!! 😭 It's so messed-up, but the tonal whiplash is pretty funny :P
If your looking for another game to try, I highly recommend the Soul Reaver Remaster that just released. Its one of the best narrative games of all time.
I keep waiting for the absurdity to start, but so far this just seems to be a normal day here in England.
This is a great playthrough, Reggie's wife could learn a thing or two
Stop-
My favourite documentary on Yorkshire.
Reggie's wife could learn a thing or two.
hope your enjoying your journey through the north of england. also, that school flashback about Rog is very accurate, english school kids are brutal
Kids are brutal everywhere I would think
The watering can't is the most british joke I've ever heard.
I love how ridiculous this game is

42:10 I think he's pretending to be a cabbage because of this 13:16 😅
2:54 Sick Margaret Thatcher reference.
Is all this just a normal day in the norf of England?

24:18 Roses are red, violets are blue, Rog's head is so big his mother implicitly died of cephalopelvic disproportion
I love this playthrough, thanks welonz. Definitely keep playing similar games like these in future also the aggressive pounding @39:22 lol

Lovin' the bloody series so far.
38:48 That photo suggests that these people are not even a couple and 39:22 well...
Could be a tall son though

So far this has been really interesting
I forgot that Brigadier's Bean Tin was flapping in the breeze.

This game is so stuffed with small jokes, funny bits and stuff that keeps changing it's crazy!
31:02 important information to know about Welonz 😁
Welonz, you are too innocent for this game.

40:55 Kilroy was here
Also his language is Yorkshire dialect lol
42:14 you didn't get it 😂 he wants to be kissed as well

The wack level is off the charts

I think that might be a tiny bit of nostalgia speaking.
