THE ASCENT INTO INSANITY 

Hate to burst your bubble there Cath but the Sorting Hat *IS* bigger on the inside. Neville pulls out that MASSIVE sword from it during the final fight!

Ellis was actually on the right track about mufti scholars. Back in the day British soldiers in the Middle East or India who weren't in uniform used to wear Muslim style clothing because of the heat and it was nicknamed mufti clothes because they thought it made them look like the mufti scholars walking around. Eventually mufti just became slang for any civilian or non-uniform clothing, hence mufti days at school.

It’s such a rare occurrence, but I love it when Jake and Ellis nerd out about stuff like the sound effects and get along so well.

I have to agree with Ellis here, the game looks so fucking good

A rare moment where Cath takes over Ellis' role as the group parent for the session.

I think this is the least hate filled interaction between Jake and Ellis

I didn't expect The Ascent but I'm glad they've played it, it's so damn good

1:20 Ok, admittedly that edit was pretty good. Blended perfectly into the background, I could see why Ellis was excited!

“Look at all the Rubbish, the binmen haven’t been here in weeks” They have really nailed the look of Brighton right down to the last detail then, also nice oh-so subtle advertising at 1:24, good video all round.

"can't get offended by the truth" "well you can... a lot of people are these days" of my gosh, I nearly died. Funny as hades, yet also as profound as Aristotle

Joke has probably already been made, but Jonk's arse could be compared to the Chamber of Secrets. Feck knows what you'll find in there 😅

That 'Like and Subscribe' bit is absolute art. Whatever you're paying Nick...double it.

7:40 that moment when you're such a train nerd you know the exact sound Ellie is taking about

I love how we get to see nick's little touches here and there throughout the videos, and how much he's grown as an editor! The like and subscribe in the background looked amazing, like it was a part of the cityscape and the text size increasing when Ellis panics and the text flapping across the screen when gabby laughed, all those little touches make the video even more enjoyable and also add an extra level of depth to their conversations. Great video as always guys, you never fail to make me wheeze laugh!

7:24 - Things like this are why Ellis and Jake are best friends despite all the crap they give each other.

Well done wpe and Ellis thank you for your opinions in games, because I've been looking into game design and you being critical or in this case in awe of an environment helps.

They failed to mention the Room of Requirement; a room that can be literally anything and any size without architectural restrictions, it just exists to "serve".

Spotted the subtle subscribe edit in the background 😀

5:01 i've never heard Alex do such a deep, aggressive voice

1:14 whoever's in charge of editing, well played

5:16 so Ellis was either privately educated or homeschooled and somehow both make total sense and explain a lot 😂

1:52 says the one who laughed at the word 'plop' or whatever cause it sounded like what poop would sound like when it hits the floor.

1:45 Gotham city be like.

3:51 normally that's Ellis's job

8:30 the rapid succession of noises that ushered from his mouth as shit rendered in. I just about died laughing

3:15 Missed opportunity that you didn't say "Chamber of Secrets"

Hearing Gabby squawk in the background is so entertaining. Mostly because I know that she's laughing at Jellis.

1:51 the pose fits the line "Are you actually laughing at splooge?" so well

I love how when Jake and Ellis are talking about the train sounds, you can hear Gabby laughing in the background 😂

I'm surprised they didn't bring up the chamber of secrets when talking about jakes bung hole. Lol

I love this video. Just the perfect blend of wholesome getting along, riffing, and disgusting shit. You guys never fail to make me smile.

I love the "Like and Subscribe Idiots" at 1:25 its amazing

I was surprised they didn't mention Jonk's Room of Requirement.

Thanks for keeping my homeland of Dudley in the memory of the people, where it belongs! I was really chuckling at Cath fact checking because the moment it happened i sat there like 'yup, that's Ellis' wife'

Gabby's laugh gets me every time, especially the swooping seagull hahaha

Can we please talk about how AMAZING the text-tracking and masking of objects is in these videos?! Especially the end! Keep up the incredbile work, guys!

i appreciate the text roll at 0:14

Jake and Ellis talking about their cool sounds is bloody adorable. XD

This is probably the only video I’ve seen of WPE getting along so well, I love it 😂

I love that obstacles are getting in the way of the subtitles, it's so good

I’d love to see a part 2 of this. I laughed pretty hard at some of these

Laughing that much, I started tearing up. Quality !!

I just noticed it now literally 4 months later but in 8:47, the caption goes behind the glass and that's just amazing

Hearing you guys try to do my accent (Dudley) was hilarious 😂

8:00 is proof Ellis and Jake are friends after all

Another superb video from WPE!!

My first time watching you guys and I’m still watching you four months later. Don’t ever change

Whoever edited the episode, great job. The subtitles behind foreground objects in front of a character is a nice detail

1:23 love the chaps and chapesses "subtle advertising"

You guys make me want to play this game with friends. Great content guys and gal 👏🏾

So happy to see the Ascent on here! I feel like it doesn't get enough love.

Oh, wow) Just came from work and bam! video! NOICE :D

When your legs don't wanna move ya just wanna watch something ya see a notification from this channel it makes ya feel energized while having barely any energy at all

Great and hilarious video as always! One thing that was strange in this video was the word “shit” being censored.

I love how Jake and Elis have favourite sounds lol and I like them sounds too but hearing you get all giddy about sounds is cute lol

I got two thirty second unskippable ads in a row. Let this be a testament to how much I love this channel that I stuck with it to reach the video.

oh this is already turning out great

You know what my favorite sound is? Silence. TRUE Silence. No atmospheric reflective hum buzz you get in a city. No traffic noises. No people chattering or the subsonic buzz and hum you get from literally millions of voices and machines and electronic devices all functioning together. Actual... pure... clean... silence. Like... a natural Anachoic Chamber levels of Pure True Silence.

The Ascent is such a fun game, so glad WPE is playing it!

Just pure chaos as always 🤣

I love you guys, you're just brilliant

3:30 didn't harry pull a sword out of the sorting hat ?

i swear this gets more funny with each upload lol

god I love watching these videos right before going to bed

ok, i respect that subs and like edit. thats fit perfectly there. amazing. good job to the editor.

I’m with ya on the dominos Jake, the aftermath is hideous 🤣

What Cyberpunk 2077 could've done.

Sorting hat had the sword of griffindor hidden in it so maybe it is bigger on the inside

Omg I actually caught a release. Soooo happy. Love your guys work even if you jonk up every game you play.....cath

1:21 Jake: alright, let's make the "like and subscrib" message subtle WPE team: make it obvious with neon lights? Got it!

the thing about hearing noises you can sample... glad i'm not alone... REALLY wish i had a RODE mic with me at all times just to sample them lol

These guys never fail to put a smile on my face (:

I love The Ascent, such an underrated game!

The Absolute Unit of Wheeze that was audible from Gabby is literally the best thing to exist

Ah delicious chaos 😍 Love this 😂

Bloomin good editing on the bg

Them talking about Jake's Tardass was hilarious

I love these guys

I looked at the background, became furious at first and then incredibly impressed at how much effort that edit must've taken.

would love to see a series❤

I like the sound of large industrial motors starting and spinning up (like underground trains or large vent motors)

Did not know I needed Ellis and Jake bonding over random sounds. Strangely relaxing.

The flying seagulls text. That's the moment I lost it. Again.

Damn the Ascent has some really good visuals

7:23 Jake's Precious Sound Club

Great title! Especially since you guys can't go any lower into insanity! XP

The sorting hat had a damn sword. lol...

so many ellis noises in this one lol

“Are actually laughing at splooge”.says the person who’s laughed at plop.

The goblet of fire holds many names, only the chosen ones are let out.

Cath’s precious fact checking club

Absolutely loved the subtle like and subscribe. Don’t press like on many things but you earned it.

Jonk: It's called leg-book Alex, without missing a beat: Oh shut up

Editing on this is fucking great subtle but has a great effect.

Damn this game looks amazing, as well as you guys too.

Shoutout to the barrel rolling subtitles following the roll of the players. GG

THAT IS INFACTUAL! The sorting hat most definitely has a "bigger on the inside" feature because they pulled a goddamn sword out of it!

3:21 Jake's Deathly Hallow.

This video - boys: shenanigans / Cath: annoyed

Cath: Why do you guys exist?! Me: They are here to cure the world's hangover through the power of comedy. 😄
