ZeeToo posted:I could happily rant about SCP for a while, but instead I'm just going to say that I really enjoyed Lowtax's LP of the game. Actually that goes for all of these. Lowtax and Shmorky (and Mike Nelson) have a really good feel for exactly how long a game can last without wearing out its welcome or feeling incomplete.

So, is there a way to progress beyond that point? Can you exit through the door, or do you just have to find a way to survive long enough until someone rescues you from the poopy baby monster?

I've seen this game before and honestly it seemed odd when lowtax died the second time, I'm pretty sure the poopie babie shouldn't have been able to get to him that fast from the door, since you know he was looking directly at it. In short its a weird buggy game, only of note due to being slightly novel

You two are consistently doing the best lps for games that pass for internet scary. Thank you for taking back lovely games from screamy, man-child, college dropouts who think wildly shaking the camera while screaming portmanteaus of types of food and the word "poo poo" is the height of entertainment. It's like every other lp of these kinds of games were directed by Michael Bay or something.

Did you secure SCP after shutting it down? Did you contain it within a folder? Is it protected by your antivirus program? I've tried to show some friends these videos but they claim to not believe that such games exist. They think that you made all of them.

I skimmed over the word Zalgo there somewhere and now I wonder if Shmorky ever feels guilt over his personal contribution to the "scare dumb internet teens"-industry. Also, the thread title is highly inaccurate unless you play Big Rigs: Over The Road Racing. It is not only the worst game ever to have been sold for money but also a money laundering operation by the russian mafia. Also the guy also made War Z.

That SCP that's a machine that turns things into other things based on vague settings is pretty cool, if only because it'd be fun to dick around with. I mean, half the entries are "I put my pen in there and it made it a super awesome pen like Steve Jobs would have had," or "we put a toaster in there and it turned into toaster parts."

The worst thing about SCP is generally not even the SCP's themselves, which are occasionally actually the kind of interesting-and-mildly-worrying objects that you could put in, say, a cleverly designed or GM'd RPG. The horrible thing is all the commentary associated with them, because they've turned into this horrible Mary Sue-filled roleplaying mess that, at one point, ate up like 50% of the loving SCP wiki. Of course some of the SCP's are also part of this poo poo. One is, or at least was(they massively purged the worst poo poo off of the wiki some time back), no poo poo, a brooding vampire with a katana, someone's goddamn DeviantArt original character, written without a shred of self-awareness as though it was the coolest thing ever. There's also one that, oh Christ I feel greasy for even remembering it, but it's basically a giant sea monster that eats people, then tries to impregnate them while they're in its guts, turning them into monster-filled zombies, and the associated "mission log" has a guy who goes in there, gets infected, then rapes and impregnates another SCP Foundation employee, and she goes on about how now she totally wants to be with him and have his evil monster baby... and of course every single comment on said log was about how OMG THIS IS SO ROMANTIC it was. gently caress the whole SCP thing.

Pretty much any halfway interesting thing on the internet involving either pop culture (TV Tropes) or making poo poo up (DeviantArt, SCP... and also TV Tropes) eventually gets co-oped by gross shut-ins and their sick fantasies. It's because pop culture and fantasy are the only two things these people have going on in their lives, and sites like SCP are outlets for whatever garbage is milling around in their brains. So they unleash it on the site, then other shut-ins read it and squawk about how it's "the best thing ever" in a big hugging circle, each of them jerking the other's ego off until the site becomes nothing but rape fantasies and ponies.

The whole mythology comes across as really halfassed to me. Like the creators had some good ideas but they didn't want to put the effort in exploring them and just wrote the whole thing off as being "mysterious and ambiguous". Not to say you can't make it work with the horror genre (Alien, for example) but when you're dealing with a scientific organization that found/created a vaginafaced gingerbread poo poo baby...yknow throw me a bone or two.
