One day, there was a plane, there were three people on it, an American, a Syrian, and a Turk. The plane crashed because it got heavy, and everyone had to throw away the heavy things. The American threw away the dollars, the Turk and the Syrian said. "Are you crazy, why did you throw away the dollars!?" The American said, "There are many in our country." It was the Syrian's turn, he threw the hookahs and the Turk said, "Are you crazy?!" The Syrian said, "No, there are many in our country."It was Turkey's turn, he looked at the tea first, couldn't eat it, and the Syrian threw it... The American said, "Are you crazy, WHY DID YOU THROW HIM!?!?!???" The Turk said, "There are so many of them in our country, nothing will happen..."
There is a theory going around about V1 being made to counter earthmovers (Just like how gilberts (guttermen) countered trench-warfare, guttertanks countered gilberts and benjamins countered the last two), V1 is fast, nimble, and small, perfect to perform a precision strike inside benjamins (and thus, counters them), the reason as to why the benjamin was willing to waste a lance shot at you at the beginning is that it thought it was lucky to spot you and considered you as a huge threat. I like to think that, throughout the entire fight, Benjamin's thought could only be resumed by "SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FU-"
If you read the "books" across the level its says that every machine was made to counter the last one, Benjamin was the last war machine before peace, and V1 never made into the product line, this probably means that V1 was made to Kill benjamín.
I considered having benjamin *FREAK OUT* when V1 revealed himself as the v-series prototype, but i wanted to keep with the "GLaDOS-esque" personality I was trying to play on him once V1 entered his body.
@@TheRealGears That was the best possible choice you could've made for the Mannequin. After I read this thread and watched that part again, I laughed for, like, a minute straight
Imagine if some living being found V1 after the events of the full game, accessed its memory drive and its like a 78 hour long recording of shit like this for every Layer/Level showing how a machine singlehandedly annihilated Hell itself
I like the fact that you made V1 act as always ( not giving a shit about anything ) but making Benjamin EXTREMELY strict and straight about his posture and not acting like V2 pretty nice detail if you ask me!1!!
funny how both guttermans and guttertanks and even earthmovers are assumed to be older geberations of machines compared to v1 yet it got most outdated TTS
I mean, going by what the Earthmover file says about the state of the world by the time the V-series was on the drawing board they probably _really_ had to pare down anything nonessential. Doesn't exactly sound like there was an awful lot of production chain left... God (absent) only knows what the Hell the remaining human population ate and drank.
Well, it all started with the death screen skull laugh. That's C64 SAM. Maybe we do need to reevaluate the voicepacks. V1's current voice is silly, but it could benefit from the more emotive power of a modern one.
Did you know; the only reason you didn’t just die the moment you walk out, is because Benjamin was getting attacked by his long distance friend. To this day, nobody knows the name of him. :(
Maybe not, what if that distant blast actually saved Benjamin (for a short time) cuz what if V1 could parry/interupt that attack? And if that would have happened he Benjamin would have crumbled faster than when he gets his lobotomy.
@@steelscarecrow8491 lore wise, this would be inaccurate. there's already a video that showed that another earthmover was attacking Benjamin. They're doing this due to the running supply of blood.
I thought this too until I remembered "Hey wait a second... Rockets home in on Magnets". But even equipped with this knowledge, Guttertanks were a bit TOO oppressive at close range so there wasn't any real good reason to get into their face (until the balance change that made them eat shit if they Miss their Punch so you could parry them).
V1 isn’t even annoyed at the fact an arm didn’t fall out of the sky after destroying Benjamin, as if he knew Benjamin was way too big to be the robot that drops the golden armed. Very interesting!
@@TheRealGears hakita already said he didn't want something like the bfg, something like he "didn't want a win button" cause we already got the railcannon.
i actually did some noclipping into that "brain." there's organic tissue in there alright. If you look at it from the top down, you can even see the individual hemispheres.
There are no future machines , Benjamin was the last machine produced in the war while v1 and v2 where designed to counter Benjamin, the war ended in peace so no other war machines where produced
I just realized, that you made cool little portal reference. When you reach... The bain? of the earthmover, he speaks with the GLaDOS lines. Very, very clever :D
Really good choice of voices for Benji and the Guttermachines! Despite being silly meme stuff, it adds a heck of a lot of character to this literal hellscape! Also love how Benjabrain is literally just GLaDOS.
I absolutely love the voices and effects you used for Gutterman/Guttertank and Earthmover, they sound so intimidating in a super cool way I also love the lore reference with the line "I thought you’d recognize the robot built expressly to kick your ass"
I like how Benjamin doesn't stop saying CRITICAL FAILURE until the end of the final combat segment. And how Benjiman really knows his law enforcement grammar. For a protogen, you're really good with this kind of content. Looking forward to more videos of whatever new enemies with whatever text-to-speech profiles for the Fraud layer (and Treachery 9-1) in the future.
