I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream OST: 04 - Starved And Mutilated (Benny) 

I sorta wonder if the implication there is that the game takes place in a timeline where the events of the short story have already played out but nobody died

​@@volnartheunforgiving3952 That's kinda how I think about it. I see it as an alternate scenario where AM was able to stop the others' deaths and the whole personal hell game is their punishment for nearly escaping their torment.

what are you saying?

Benny's level.

In the wrong time, place and reason

It's a great story and little world. I think Bennie's voice should have been a bit deeper/more vicious to convey his original nastiness.

Humans are animals

It’s implied that Benny used to be heavily religious and used it as alternative to “saying the lord’s name in vain”

That’s a great idea and absolutely something AM would do to a religious fanatic not to mention AM would probably push said religious fanatic to perform blasphemy

This is really astounding. Thanks for uploading these... well, gems.

a midi well interpreted makes quite the difference

hahahahaha

oooh? oooh?

Damn, 8 years later but to answer your question it’s because they put it through modern sound tech which enhances the music originally.

Arguably more. Benny had to go through the same anguish as the rest of them but didn't even get to keep his sense of self. He gets fucked up really bad in the short story too.

​​@@awkwardcultism atleast he's hung in the story 😅 gotta try to stay positive, no?

Of course he was. He was a Nazi scientist.

Honestly Ellen was pretty straightforward, other than having to pick up and use the piece of cloth SHE SPECIFICALLY SAYS SHE REFUSES TO PICK UP AND USE WHEN YOU INITIALLY TRY IT

I suppose one could argue that was the "secret" Brickmann knew about but yeah it doesnt outright say it I guess.

Hyperion it’s really subtle but it’s kinda referenced in the game « you killed me because I knew your secret » « I did not measure up to your standards »

@@terla2971 just up and says it in the book

​​​@@terla2971 Honestly from what AM was trying to force him into for the whole chapter I initially thought he cannibalized somebody in Vietnam, then I saw his wife in AM's brain and was like "Wait, Benny was gay, right" It makes more sense now

Originally the creators wanted to make him gay in the videogame, but the studio heads said no (it was the 90s/2000s). There was an interview with the director that says this much

The story first (Harlan's text) Game is much different from story (also it's hard and old)

***** Thanks for the suggestions

ytmp3.cc It's tedious to copy URL from each video, but worth it.

The short story and the game are two really different things. I really liked that the Bad End lines for each character in the game where lifted directly from the ending lines of the novel. God I have a most profound appreciation for this game.

Someone still listens to ost of the game IHNMAIMS? No way

@@Yummers_500 I discovered the game a few weeks ago haha

Monke eat fruit.... *HURTS HURTS HURTS*

ElCaPixlo Bro, a MONKEY is worse than a fucking nazi?

Nope It’s Nimdok

Benny was gay and murdered his comrades to keep the secret, and nimdok was a nazi who lost his memory with old age. Doesn't make him NOT a nazi.

I see were your coming from. Nimdok is in a constant state of self-loathing, even if he doesn't know what he did, he knows he should be burning in the bowels of hell for it. Benny, however, doesn't really care, Benny is abrasive and brutish, Benny believes he's done nothing wrong, he is out for Benny and Benny alone. Though his crimes are by far worse, does Nimdok's readiness willness to be punished make him the better man in the end of things?

I do admit the two war lunatics are the worst for me tho
