There is no game but there is a video Buy MY coffee: topofthemornincoffee.com/ Twitter : / jacksepticeye Instagram : / jacksepticeye Edited By: / pixl_pit
The whole "Russian accent" thing is referencing the fact that, when playing the original flash game, a lot of people thought the narrator was Russian, when instead he is French
I'm sure that people have told you this already, but just in case, the Kickstarter for this game really did fail. Thankfully, the creator made the game anyway, and we got this masterpiece.
@@Lee-One Yeah, definitely. I'm glad that they finished the game despite not having enough funding, and considering how popular it ended up being, it seems like it was worth it.
It got funded by the CNC (we see that at the beginning) instead. It's a government fund, usually for movies or TV programs, though I'm glad they are open to other art forms.
For anyone who’s curious: “mise en abyme” is a term used for art within art - say a painting of someone looking at a painting, or a story within a story. Makes sense with the story of this game!
The original comment is correct, it’s an art term. It originally referred to the space created between two mirrors-an infinite abyss of reflections-and was then picked up by the art world to describe the “painting within a painting within a painting” phenomenon. It’s a lot like an idiom-the literal translation is not the correct meaning at all-for example, when we “break the ice” with someone, we don’t *literally* break any ice. If a non-english speaker said “breaking the ice” means to become friendly with someone and you said “no, it means to break ice into pieces-that’s the literal translation!!!” you’d be wrong. That’s basically what you just did, @mystykgaming -You’re absolutely wrong.

I died at the "My dog stepped on a bee" part. I was so invested in that case but, to hear Sean joke about it and actually be able to pull out a tear with so little effort was just perfect. XD
I don't believe there is a language out there that uses this syntax, but I'll write it out in sudo code. /** *@M. G says it is in BASIC * (If the public would like me to I can rewrite the sudo-code to be in BASIC) **/ Color = 0; Print("cry"); Trace("sorrow"); For(GiGi-you){ End; } Game; // @Shady Doorags While(us != together) { If(whatWeEarned()== home){ goto Me; } } Explanation: GiGi sees no color in the world. GiGi is crying. Crying leads to sorrow. Remove you from GiGi until the end. Start the game. While if we are not together we will return home. (I think this is right, beautiful song, extremely nerdy, but not 100% sure if everything is correct.)
@@justusmitchell2199 The while loop should be... while(us != together){ if(WhatWeEarned() == home){ goto Me; } } Me: Code that awaits user to press Return which will exit the loop;
1:38 that sound is actually how an orchestra checks its intonation, making sure everyone's instruments are in tune with each other the concert master plays a note on an open string then the rest of the orchestra follows with the same note after the concert master completes one full bow so Sean is somewhat correct this is part of how we prepare and check if we are ready
All these years later I still want to see “There Is A Game” and it’s an actual RPG but narrated by Game and GiGi as they fight off new glitches that are trying to rip them apart again.
@@SnowyLover999 are u missing something? they were talking about a successor to this game with the suggested titel "There is A Game". not about the game we just watched.
since when "there is no game" you actually have a game.. forcing a game, "there is a game" could be the opposite. it's a stupid idea but my sleep deprived brain says it's funny
@@theskilledsnake Usually they are, but when a performance starts the first chair violinist, also known as the soloist plays a tuning note to tune to his violin. Its much better for the whole orchestra to be in tune with an instrument in the orchestra rather in tune with a predetermined note in a tuner. I was in concert band last year and I have to play the tuning note.
As someone who played the original game, I apriciate the "draw me a goat" reference (I atleast hope its in reference) to when you write out goat and get the goat you need to save, and the Flying squirrel OS in reference to when the Squirrel of the game steals your key and you have to get it back😁 I love the references It brings baxk the memories of going on cool maths games just to play this😢
im literally yelling at my screen repeatedly when he misses the most basic stuff lol. his gimmicks irritates me when he does it during important parts like the gigi song
@@reaper1918 I know im so sorry, im soo dumb, I thought he already meant that he played The done version of it, its been out for sooo long, I was so confused XD
@@andrewjackson3093 well, thanks for letting me know so i know to avoid this one. appreciate it fam, i love jack but i cannot stand anyone who doesn't take gigi's song section seriously
Fun fact: In Western art history, mise en abyme, literally “placement into abyss”, is a formal technique of placing a copy of an image within itself, often in a way that suggests an infinitely recurring sequence. In film theory and literary theory, it refers to the technique of inserting a story within a story.
Actually, it's the orchestra tuning. The 'ready' part is when the conductor rises his baton and checks if everyone is aware the he will start the piece.
@@Bbclark18 well .. Many concerts masters won't bother to tune their instrument perfectly, because the sound gets lost between those 10 other violins. I can assure you when I play in an orchestra, never have I tuned perfectly. Nothing to do with me being a violist!!😂🤪
38:53 - I thought Bartitsu was a made-up thing, but it's actually a thing! It's a combination of elements from boxing, jujitsu, cane fighting and savate (French kickboxing). Apparently, the term was coined by none other than Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author of the original Sherlock Holmes stories.
The whole "Holmes and Watson" part is a reference to the old lucas arts games, especially "day of the tentacle", in art style, and the "use a monkey to work an hydraulic pump" comes straight from Monkey Island 2. Absolutely love it 💙
Well, technically, it was called 'Break-Out,' but the fact that anybody remembers it is amazing as it came out in the late 70's as well as the early 80's alongside 'Pong' and 'Centipede' ('Snake' didn't exist until the early 2000's when it was a mobile game for cellphones). These games all came out for the Atari.
The game aside, Sean did a smart move in putting the gameplay of the not game in one video. It kinda makes the game even more complete since the struggles and attempts are present. Props to the dev for an amazing game and props to Jack too!
YESSSS THATS WHAT IM SAYING! I would absolutely love a whole game about those two, the artstyle, puzzles and humor were so fine, and i really REALLY need more point-and-click games to play
The part where GiGi sings the code is my absolute all time favorite part of this game. It’s such a clever puzzle and it really fits with its place in the story plus the singing is amazing and the song absolutely SLAPS it was stuck in my head for 3 days when i first heard it and I was so eager to see it again when I saw you uploaded this video. So creative and beautiful, I love it!
The song is great! It's also the most annoying thing when someone keeps shouting over it instead of shutting up and listening to the game's dialogue / song that tells them how to progress.
Always love how people say 'literally every comment' or something similar and then literally only the original comment commenting on how 'literally every comment' is about x thing is actually referring to x thing.
The Editor did a good job blending the glitch with your face-cam. you have a very good editor, I've admired their work and attention to detail in your videos.
This game is totally giving me "There's a MONSTER at the end of this book." Grover is the "narrator" who is constantly trying to get you to stop turning pages. Anybody else know what I'm talking about here? It was my favorite book as a child. The narrator in this game is giving me Grover vibes especially. Lol.
Am I the only one that hopes if they do another There Is No Game or a DLC for thid and include the shifting accented voices Jack gets to be the Irish version?
General trivia: 2:00 Mise en abyme (meaning "placed into abyss" in French) is "a formal technique of placing a copy of an image within itself, often in a way that suggests an infinitely recurring sequence" (or, in this case, "games within games"). 38:48 Bartitsu, known as "the martial art of gentlemen", combined elements of boxing, jujitsu, cane fighting, and french kick boxing (it was practiced by Sherlock Holmes in his adventures). 2:18:16 Yes, the "game"/narrator was voiced by the French developer Pascal Cammisotto (he's the "creator" you see at it 3:00:50). 2:42:48 The "code song" makes a lot of programming references (for example, "boolean" is a kind of variable that either takes the values "true" or "false", and it's interchangeable with binary values in many programming languages - with "0" being "false" and "1" being "true"), but the "command line" at the end is just meant to be interpreted as a poem (it's not actual code). 2:56:44 Sad fact: this game's Kickstarter failed, so the "KickFailer" e-mail is a reference to that. 2:50:48 Nope, the right answer for the restriction enzyme (which is a kind of protein that cuts DNA at a specific sequence) question was not there. The answer was EcoRI and SalI.
The fact that this game even exists today gives me hope in a weird way. Like the kickstarter for it failed but he still made it, he still followed his dreams even after that and we now have been blessed with this amazing experience of a game. Shout out to the developer.
do they get $0 of the money, when people dono to their kickstarter? does it refund all the peeps if the KS fails? Or do they get money, that they can use on the project still... just had to find the other amount they hadn't gotten?
@@artasinnYeah, it’s all or nothing. The people who pledged anything don’t end up paying anything, and it stops the hold on the funds they would’ve donated. Money doesn’t move for both sides until the KS is successful
I know. I'm someone that cannot stand musicals or song outbreaks in movies, but that song was so beautiful and perfect for this. I was blown away by that part
Jack's frustration is almost tangible. It's super frustrating to watch him get stuck, but absolutely hilarious when he figures it out and it's the most ridiculous logic being used to progress.
Rochambeau is rock, paper, scissors. Named after a French General who helped fight against the English in the American Revolution. Roshambo is kicking each other in the nuts until someone falls over - Cartman's twist on it from South Park 😁👍
My first thought was when people ask their friends what the capital of Thailand is, only to use the answer (Bangkok) as an excuse to, well, do basically that 🤣
@@queenb1119 I thought he meant the game where 2 people sit in front of eachother and try to knock the other over by rolling a football at eachother testicles
If the developer made this fantastic ending because their Kickstarter failed then it was the best thing that could've happened! Huge probs to the game makers for finishing it!
I love how Jack went through a whole programmers journey from programs not wanting to run, to glitches ruining things to look at what came before, finding it was really basic, till spending hours crushing the bug only to find once you fixed it and wanted to try the game to find it comes back or multiplies
As an orchestra performer, hearing Jack mention the ps3 start sound reminded me of when I had to explain it to people lol. It's not really to tell you that we're ready, it's for us to check to see if our instruments are in tune :)
I'm not in an orchestra and even I knew that as well. I have the upmost respect for you, my friend! If you don't mind me asking, what do you play? If I could go back in time, I would have taken up the drums.
@@tonberry1248 hate to slap myself into a coversation but i played clarinet when i was in an orchestra and the drums is something both fun and incredibly difficult considering the role you have in the orchestra. That could just have been my experience tbf i wasn't in my orchestra too long and i was pretty young but just my view
(earlier than this time but i don't wanna go back to find it but) 47:45 the guy with the glitch on his face is Wilhelm and every time he gets punched it's the (now) famous Wilhelm scream 😂😂
25:31 I absolutely love how his face cam also glitches along the game. Just wanted to point that out since it's a small little detail a lot of people didn't notice
Oh I've seen this dimension-hopping concept before. It was in a Phineas and Ferb movie. Supposedly, there is a whole circle of dimensions, and there's some kind of dimensional flow connecting them going clockwise. Meaning if you travel from one dimension to another, you automatically end up in the one after that if you dimension-hop again. There is a way to go against that flow, but it would a massive amount of energy, and I doubt a system with that little memory can handle such a powerful energy flux. In other words, Game and User are going to have to go through a literal gauntlet of games to get home.
