@@thomasr1051 From the internet: "Chekhov's gun is a dramatic principle that suggests that details within a story or play will contribute to the overall narrative." Like, the writer will introduce a gun or other item/plot point in the story and you, the reader, are trying to see when and how it will be used, because it will be used. Otherwise why introduce it in the first place? So since we can't interact with the gun in the game *yet*, we'll wait and see how we can interact with it in the future.
I also believe the Simone/Simone's monster is a nag at the (again, literature oriented) meme of calling Frankenstein's monster Frankenstein. These nags make sense as the game is an homage to Lovecraft's works, who is a well known author (although was very misanthropic)

Didn't see this noted in any other posts but here you go Kevin...Gertrude Ederle was a famous American Olympic swimmer, John Gilbert was a popular silent movie star and Juan Belmonte Garcia was a legendary Spanish bullfighter, who surprisingly did NOT die in the bullring.
@@251TheMechanizedSingfantry Actually, I'm a silent movie fan so I knew who John Gilbert was and I'd heard about Garcia's exploits in the bullring! I love the game's references to the past. In a way, it's anti-pop culture!
The "X of Loathing" series is so well written, I'd love to see you continue this one (it's called Shadows Over Loathing). Also, the color puzzle (15:36) was related to the colors of the rainbow (so Red = A, orange = B, yellow = C, green = D, blue = E, indigo = F, violet = G).
I watched the 2 year old west of loathing video the other day and then Kevin blessed me with 40 more minutes of stickman shenanigans and I can not be more at peace.
If Kevin liked this game, he’d probably enjoy playing the other two predecessors of this one. West of Loathing and Kingdom of Loathing. Whether you play them for your channel or on your own time, I’d highly recommend them. They’ll give you some of the best belly laughs.
As I was watching, I was struck by how similar it was to the humor and art style of Kingdom Of Loathing. It was at that point that I searched, and saw that it was, indeed, related. I played KOL like 15 years ago, and was addicted to it for a while. :-)
brilliant video. these games are always great, and the format of this one showcased it really well! I liked that it was a bit slower so that we could see more of the "story" and enjoy more of the jokes and puzzles. Would love to see more of this game!
I normally don’t like watching people play video games but for some reason I find these videos so entertaining. Sometimes I don’t even watch, I just have the video playing while I do something else as if I’m listening to a podcast 😂
I shall rewatch this until it gets enough views to warrant a sequel! Ever since Kevin last did this game, I was hoping he would re-try it! The humor is on point for him, even if the gameplay isn't usually his thing (big walls of texts, grinding, needing to read through the dialogue to understand what to do next).
I think I played an older version of this game as a flash game on a website. I love how it constantly suggests the most rediculous ideas and makes it the storyline.
Juan was a Spanish Bullfighter who died in 1962, Gertrude was the first woman to swim across the English Channel, and John was most likely the Actor/Director who died in 1936 and not the painter who died in 1897.
I used to play Kingdom of Loathing back in the day! Its so great to see they are still around making more stuff! Please play more of these games, they are great!
I love Kevin and his thoughts. "Ah this isn't bad at all I got this." *1 fight later* "Oh no, I lost to a puff of dust and wind, how can I do this?" P.S Uncle Murray is Bill Murray come to claim his due.
The last time I played and finished this game I was heavily drinking. It’s the most intense/strong emotion provoking experience I’ve ever had that I don’t even remember.
I immediately grinned when I saw you were posting a video about Shadows Over Loathing!! It's an amazing game with a ton of content, and it's absolutely hilarious!! What a great video Kevin!
Just got home after leaving work early due to a stomach bug and was needing something to cheer me up & then THIS pops up immediately. i have been blessed once again by the great kevin
Thank you for opening up to us as much as you feel comfortable with. It's appreciated 👍 Don't pressure yourself to immediately have to do everything, most people that get the diagnosis first have to settle a bit with it, so only do things if you think they could help and you need them, at your own pace (I mean the concept of every psychological diagnosis and the treatment of it is always dependent on how it impairs your life und lowers your life quality, so that should be your deciding factor regarding any treatment ^^).
The second I realized this was a Loathing game and that there were others besides Kingdom of Loathing (our favorite game in high school) I instantly had to get this
Gertrude Ederle was an American swimmer, John Gilbert an American actor, and Juan Belmonte García was a Spanish bullfighter. There were all genuine real-life celebrities in the first half of the 20th century.

Kevin please please PLEASE play more of this. You and Loathing games go together like Jim Pickens and murder
i would love him to play this again
everyone agrees!!
pleaseweeeeeee
Ikr! The humor of the games are right up his alley
Definitely
The loathing series has to be some of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. It is just pure parody and I love it.
It's amazing that they started from just a free browser RPG. I still remember playing KoL back in the day.
Agreed
Yes
And the actual gameplay is awesome too. It’s honestly one of my favorite game series.
and the loathsome dung eater
I like how Gabby turned into Gertie halfway through
And he seemed to like Gertie way more then gabby
Yeah I was like "I'm definitely not paying enough attention cause suddenly there is another person " and it wasn't me
hahaha I can't 😂
I just had to scroll down to the comments and ctrl f gertie to make sure I wasn't losing it with the name change... it's just kev losing it which is normal
Which made it even worse when he said he was actually starting to like her as a partner, didn't even remember her name tch
@@seidimeow same here 😂
The fact that you see a gun you can't equip yet at Chekhov's house is such a good Easter egg.
Omg Simone and Simone's monster... Omg this game is so cute!!
Can you explain it for my friend who's a toddler. Not me though.

@@phoebedarker I think it's named after Simone Giertz, who likes to make shitty robots :)
8:48 Kevin's soft laugh after naming the turtle is just sweet
I feel like this game matches the energy of Kevin’s play-style, I love it!
if you put both the spider options on do you get a normal amount of spiders
@@redmist6630 spiders with more steps!🤣
I love the Loathing series and I'd love to see more of it played. It has a quirky, manic humour to it that suits Kevin's playstyle.
totally agree! i hope kevin revisits west of loathing sometime, it’s definitely a personal favourite
I gotta say, parts of this game sound like Kevin himself wrote it
Didn't the main dev turn out to be a complete and unironic youtube though?

I thought I recognised Juan Garcia, but I was thinking of Juan Pujol Garcia, british spy and one of the best trolls in human history.
Oh, hey! I didn’t know it was THAT Gertrude! I remember reading about her in those one of those textbooks of short stories in elementary school!
John Gilbert used to be Greta Garbo's leading man and off screen flame until sound did him in.
Notice how the turtle just walks away when defeated. Pretty sure he's not hurt at all just gives up easily.
Watching this makes me say to myself "Kevin's finally home where he belongs"
This game gets so chaotic it should be called Kevin's mind
Finally a game that appeals to us arachnophiles
Now that's hot.

Kevin evolving into the Chad meme before our very eyes.
waiting for keven to make a wordplay joke and it actually be in the game
the zoom in in the beginning made me SO HAPPY. what a sweet throwback
Stickman the third is the hero we need. 😂 Also that “on the house” joke got me. This is such a hilarious video and a great game.
I just love when kevin makes that awkward stare into the camera lol like at 14:47 after he does two different reactions to finding the trapped door
If Kevin liked this game, he’d probably enjoy playing the other two predecessors of this one. West of Loathing and Kingdom of Loathing. Whether you play them for your channel or on your own time, I’d highly recommend them. They’ll give you some of the best belly laughs.
He did play West of Loathing.
As I was watching, I was struck by how similar it was to the humor and art style of Kingdom Of Loathing. It was at that point that I searched, and saw that it was, indeed, related. I played KOL like 15 years ago, and was addicted to it for a while. :-)
The amount of times Kevin says 'what?!' Is so good
Having played West of Loathing not long ago (inspired by when Kevin played the game ages ago), I'm very down to watch Kevin play another Loathing game
"Is there any way I can figure this out without using my brain?" Peak Kevin
Kevin always finds a way around using his brain. Its, ironically enough, the only thing he uses his brain for.
Seeing Kevin plays more of Loathing games makes me really happy! It's one of my fav series and I hope he'll play it again one day! ^^

I’m so happy Kevin learned to read :’)
Been super sick the past few days and I'm pretty sure the only reason I'm still going is because of kevin. Thank you good sir.
Get well soon, mate
I never expected Kevin to come back to this game, especially in long form content. I'm so delighted
Kevin playing any game brings me so much joy, keep up the good work!
Even though it's a year later I want to let you know Kevin, that this was great! I loved the energy of the game and how it perfectly matched yours!
Kevin’s hair has gotten increasingly fancy over the last 3 videos, next time his hair will just be yellow fire
Would love to see a consistent series of this game!
I think I played an older version of this game as a flash game on a website. I love how it constantly suggests the most rediculous ideas and makes it the storyline.
Kevin keeps changing his hair and im here for it, keep doing you kev, you look great no matter what.
When this came out I binge played it 3 times. In a year I will play it again and remember everything
West of loathing was such an amazing game, I played it to the maximum haha, didn't try this one yet but I'm on my way
Thank you for playing this game, Kevin! It's one of my favorites. The game before it, West of Loathing, is my favorite. They're all comedy gold!!
Thats Kev! Ive been down in the dumps recently and you never fail to make someone smile!
This makes me miss the days of the Kingdom of Loathing. One of the best childhood memories I have.
Ikr, i even bought the KoL board game back then just cause i loved it so much
The "my daughters monster" meta-referencing Frankenstein vs Frankenstein's monster is hilarious.
The references in this game tickle my fancies.
Juan was a Spanish Bullfighter who died in 1962, Gertrude was the first woman to swim across the English Channel, and John was most likely the Actor/Director who died in 1936 and not the painter who died in 1897.

kevin and this game go together like bread and butter
Had the worst couple days I’ve ever had, but then Kevin uploaded. I thank you for your service Kevin, keeping us surviving
Hope things get better for you man!
@@GusBried I appreciate that more than you know. Thank you
Hope things get better for you friend! All the positive vibes!
🫂🫂
How are you doing now? This is a 5-month-old comment according to RUclips, so I hope things have improved within that time
19:20
“M’Lady. *walks* M’Lady. *walks* uhhhh- not you.”
- Kevin 2023 I guess
I would love a full series of this game. it's fantastically hilarious
Even when the game is not that interesting, Kevin always makes it fun to watch. Your hair, sir, is very on point today. Thumbs up!
Kevin you should play that game where you live for an hour again. I was majorly down when I watched it and it just made me warm. It was a great video
The bus driver is how I feel every single day. This game looks awesome!
10:10 that was one of the most adorable things I've ever seen.
I love Kevin and his thoughts. "Ah this isn't bad at all I got this." *1 fight later* "Oh no, I lost to a puff of dust and wind, how can I do this?" P.S Uncle Murray is Bill Murray come to claim his due.
23:18 Kevin....
A new Loathing game? That's Lovecraftian themed?!? HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS!
They just shadow dropped it three months ago.
11-11
Kevin can make Even the simple concept of stickmen chaotic
Did anyone else immediately sing the Lupin the Third intro, but, "Stickman the THIIIIIIIIIRD!" lmfao
“M’lady. “M’lady. Uh, not you.”
💀
please play more of this!! would love to see your full playthrough of Shadows Over Loathing!!
The last time I played and finished this game I was heavily drinking. It’s the most intense/strong emotion provoking experience I’ve ever had that I don’t even remember.
More. We want - no, we DEMAND more Stickman and his wacky adventures!!
(Love the Shadows Over Innsmouth reference.)
Kevin out here with a new fresh trim ready to play some good ol' stickman game.
Didn't even know there was a sequel to West of Loathing haha. I loved this and it was very amusing to watch.
There's another one, Kingdom of Loathing.
When Kevin missed the goofy walks in the West of Loathing game I was very sad, so these three he found make me super happy!
Seeing Kevin being blissfully unaware of the fungal flapper girl that follows him around is quite funny
I really hope you keep playing this one, its a delight watching you!
West of Loathing was the first game I’ve ever played 100% through. I then completely replayed it because I was so sad I killed Gary.
The loathing series is amazing. I played West of Loathing and the humor and gameplay IS SO CLEVER AND FUNNY
This was definitely one of my favourite videos in the last few weeks. Love the uniqueness. Thanks Kevin!
SO GLAD you and this MASTERPIECE have converged!! this is the best possible timeline! I adore Loathing
I love this game series!! I hope Kevin plays more of it sometime!
i love these games because of how self aware they are, especially with the narrator questioning your choices XD
If Kevin ever plays Undertale all the way through, my life would be complete 😍😂
PLEASE make a series off this
Ya know, being named Gabi,
watching this video was an interesting experience.
I'm a coffee barista but I think I'm gonna start referring to myself as a potion seller who specializes in stamina potions
The cat being named "Calliope" made me remember that I really can't fight the homestuck
i bet its intentional, too. this game is full of references
Hello Kevin! I’ve been subscribed for 3 years and I still love watching you! You make the best content and you always make my day!
I love how Kevin is going through the same haircut phases that I did in 6-9th grade haha ♥
NEED MORE OF THIS
I get so sad whenever I watch this video and then remember that there arent more😭😭😭
This really reminds of all the old school Flash RPGs. Got some good nostalgia.
I immediately grinned when I saw you were posting a video about Shadows Over Loathing!! It's an amazing game with a ton of content, and it's absolutely hilarious!! What a great video Kevin!
This was so much fun to watch, especially the last mission!
Just got home after leaving work early due to a stomach bug and was needing something to cheer me up & then THIS pops up immediately. i have been blessed once again by the great kevin
7:41 I thought Kevin was about to say "A turtle on its back! Finally, an enemy I can beat!"
12:55 caught me by surprise, my cat is named Gabby and she decided to scream right when Gabby said that 😭
Kevin, you missed Jim Pickens without glasses on the character selection. Top row, third one.
I hope to see more of this, this game has a sense of humor that I think you would like a lot.
make a full series about this it suits you well :)
I really thought you’d name your character Grognak, but long live Stickman the Third!
"'On the house'? How am I gonna get up there??" xD
I’ve watched you play this series twice you HAVE to play it again. You make this game so much funnier.
Anything That Kevin Plays is A comedy masterpiece
cause the Kevin Effect is absorbed by the game
that's why everything he plays is funny
I just now noticed Kevin has been making longer videos like these are a whole ass movies

Kevin picked the plumbing side quest because he’s a sewage genius 30:03
Kevin is a stick figure genius
There's a whole website MMO that came before this game and is still active if you're ever interested. Kingdom of Loathing is the name 😊
keviiiiiin, you're making me want to play through this game a third time lmao
it also
it also makes me wanna go through West again.
