>> RYAN: Welcome back, Internet people. My name is Ryan. We're playing Shadow Man for
the PC.
[loud growl]
That is a pissed off dog! Pissed the *** off, seriously.
For serious.
There's lots of bugs and things around here. It's really quite depressing.
[swamp animal sounds]
Oh, I want those.
Let me in.
>> SHADOW MAN: [grunting]
>> RYAN: I don't think I can get in there.
Moving on.
Same dealio I think. OK.
This place is really creepy. I don't like it.
I hope the entire game isn't going to be like this.
Look at that, dead birds, that is...
Dead birds on sticks. That's, that's a welcome.
That's a, that's a bad welcome.
Got some lanterns in this...
cave/mine place.
I'm collecting these thingies. I don't know what they are.
So...
How do I do anything?
This button? OK.
It is a "cadeaux." Or a "cad ee ox" if you're in America.
What's this book?
Nettie's file.
"Whenever possible- wherever possible includes background, criminal profile, sightings and
prime suspect for each of the following..."
Oh god.
Serial killers...
This...
page- book is really long.
Do they expect me to read all of this?
Because to be quite honest I am far too lazy to read this many pages.
Like,
if I were to read all of those pages...
>> SHADOW MAN: Made it.
>> RYAN: I would have no time to- Oh, the dog.
Hi!
[dog growls]
Is that it?
Let's go in here.
... I wouldn't be playing video games. I would be doing something better with my time like
reading books or something.
>> SHADOW MAN: Nettie?
>> NETTIE: Hey there, Mike.
Glad you could make it.
>> SHADOW MAN: How could I refuse your offer? How could I ever refuse you, Agnetta?
>> NETTIE: You can't. I'm simply irresistible.
I hope you read the file I gave you and read it real well.
Between the lines you'll find the signs.
>> SHADOW MAN: You got my stuff?
>> NETTIE: Come on in, honey.
>> SHADOW MAN: You know, on the way over I got to thinking about these dark souls.
If they're so damn dangerous, why didn't the ancients just destroy them?
>> NETTIE: Because that's impossible. Their power is their immortality.
If evil ever manages to implant these immortal souls into its monstrous slaves, can you imagine
the carnage an immortal, unbeatable army would bring to the earth?
That's apocalypse, Shadow Man. That's the end.
>> RYAN: These dark souls seem like ***. >> SHADOW MAN: OK, OK. So I really
>> SHADOW MAN: got to get to the dark souls before the bad guy.
>> RYAN: For the kingdom.
>> SHADOW MAN: I understand that.
But where do I find them?
>> NETTIE: In govi.
Each govi has been sealed by the most powerful voodoo.
>> RYAN: Voodoo!
>> NETTIE: Not even the greatest Bokor or Mambo can open them to
>> NETTIE: release the dark soul within. >> RYAN: Mambo!
>> NETTIE: Believe me, I've tried.
>> RYAN: You're a Bokor or a Mambo? >> NETTIE: But, a Shadow Man, or something
even more powerful,
>> NETTIE: just might be able to do it.
Release the dark soul and take it into yourself, but be warned,
the dark souls are a pure and ancient evil and possess a power that should not be abused.
>> SHADOW MAN: OK, OK.
Let's just get this thing over with.
You got my stuff?
>> NETTIE: Right here.
[screams]
>> CHILD: I'm real scared, Mikey!
>> SHADOW MAN: Jesus, Luke! He's alive!
Alive and in pain! I got to help him!
>> NETTIE: He's dead, Mike. You know that.
>> SHADOW MAN: I know, but I saw...
>> NETTIE: It's understandable that you still have strong feelings for your brother.
That's why the bear works for you, connecting you to Deadside. Use it now, Mike.
Go Deadside and find Jaunty.
He's waiting for you at the marrow gates.
He's got something to show you.
>> SHADOW MAN: OK.
>> NETTIE: And Mike?
>> SHADOW MAN: Yeah?
>> NETTIE: If you need me, I'll be here.
Now, go see Jaunty and get them dark souls.
>> RYAN: OK.
I
got to get my thingies.
For some reason.
[gunfire]
Open up!
>> NETTIE: Mike, use the bear! Go Deadside!
>> RYAN: I'm exploring your church, here.
Don't bother me.
Sweet. That is... Zelda-rific.
I want that thingy!
I must have all the thingies!
I don't know what they're for at all. OK.
They're probably like health or something.
So I guess I'm going Deadside now.
Um...
sure!
>> SHADOW MAN: Ugh...
>> LUKE: [echoing] Come on, slowpoke!
>> RYAN: I used the bear to go Deadside.
That's wonderful.
>> SHADOW MAN: I am the lord of Deadside.
Shadowborn at the confluence of worlds to walk between.
Liveside is without the meaning that my partly living possess here, in Deadside,
>> RYAN: I hope he doesn't say this every time we go to Deadside.
>> SHADOW MAN: where the darkness is manifest at the edges of reason.
>> SHADOW MAN: As a god I step forth upon the writhing, suppurating surface of the Deadside
serpent.
>> RYAN: Is suppurating a word? >> SHADOW MAN: What sleep is here?
>> SHADOW MAN: What dreams there are in the unctuous coilings of the snake's mortal shuffling.
Weapon in my hand.
My hand, the arcing deathblow at the end of all things.
The horror, the horror.
I embrace it.
>> RYAN: OK, that was... odd.
I'd better make that a video. I'll be right back.
