AMERICAN MCGEE'S ALICE - TALENT IN MADNESS
Added 2021-08-01 17:05:32 +0000 UTCEveryone online was discussing this game recently and this video still happened by accident. It was Plan C after Plans A and B fell through. Plan A was Postal 4 Thursday, which was actually too janky for me to make a proper video on, though now it's patched so fingers crossed.
Felt nice to do something a little different because 90% of requests are FPS games and the other 10% are cereal related FPS.
I'd only played some of Alice before making this video. I already knew it was a good game. Been nagging myself to do a video on it forever, almost since Bad Day L.A. when the channel was still mostly about doing bad games which is a shitty and unsustainable business model (for me, anyway).
It took a while for this one to really come together because of the "animated" bits and some audio issues that Premiere was having. This is a spoiler-heavy review and so I put two spoiler tags that are also jokes.

Or if you want one of those fancy colored names that everyone gets now if they want. The credits in the video are usually a couple of days behind the actual patron list.

2021-08-10 02:58:02 +0000 UTCThis game really reminds me of Tad Williams' Otherland series of books - especially when they go to the Return to Oz simulation and the 4 characters are all generals at war. I'm not going to mention that abortion of an MMORPG. And yes, thank you Civvie for reminding me why I didn't buy this as a kid at Electronic Boutique. Nightmares.

2021-08-05 02:40:56 +0000 UTCI watched my roommate in college play this game and I was enthralled the whole time. That's a good mark of a great game. That and Clive Barker's Undying. Hugely great memories of those. FAKK2... not as much, lol.

2021-08-03 23:04:39 +0000 UTCAh yeah, I definitely played this as a young teenager, and while I never had nightmares over it, I think it was my first real experience with this over-the-top dark and depressing aesthetic, it did unnerve me a lot at the time.

2021-08-03 05:47:59 +0000 UTCgreat video, any chance we might see the sequel to this?
2021-08-03 01:33:04 +0000 UTCFuck yes

2021-08-02 18:19:42 +0000 UTCMy older brother bought this when it came out, still remember the day we picked it up from Target, as I got a kickass lego set. I never played it, as it was too weird/spooky for kid me. And by the time I was old enough to want to play it I was onto The Witcher 1 and Stalker Shadow of Chernobyl, and a shitton of ZSNES and Epsxe games.

2021-08-02 15:47:00 +0000 UTCAmazing content as always. Being it’s in currrent news, would you consider playing Deadspace sir?
2021-08-02 07:45:34 +0000 UTCPro Return to castle wolfenstein when Civvie?
2021-08-02 04:50:07 +0000 UTCDid you try First Person Mode? https://alice.fandom.com/wiki/Cheats iirc console enabled this in the original, but it seems this may require a mod/patch for the remaster.

2021-08-02 02:51:35 +0000 UTCTrying to find a way to play this game is so annoying. I think the only legit one I found was GameStop
2021-08-02 00:51:21 +0000 UTCThe game pass version of madness returns has the OG alice as playable

2021-08-01 22:49:27 +0000 UTCThis is my first video after my first patreon payment, really happy I can now support as such, your videos have kept me entertained for a long while now and really helped me through some rough times. Love the video, also love the added pop ups indicating the song playing. Also so sorry if this is rude but could I ask for my name to be in hex code #E1AD01 in the credits if at all possible?
2021-08-01 22:43:52 +0000 UTCOne of my absolute favorites from back in the day. Unfortunately I can't find the discs for the pc version anymore and I sold my Madness Returns copy for PS3 which is the only way to play the extra digital American McGee's Alice that came with it (screw you EA). Nice video, good job. Can't wait for Kiss: Psycho Circus - The Nightmare Child, you know it's coming at some point

2021-08-01 22:43:12 +0000 UTCI considered this and I thought since Tim Willits himself acknowledged it that it wouldn't be an issue.
Civvie
2021-08-01 22:35:01 +0000 UTCI always wanted to play this one, but I was still hooked on "Diablo 2" and trying to figure out if it was actually using my Voodoo2 or if it was just marketing hype.

2021-08-01 21:54:53 +0000 UTCI've got only one concern about this, We all know it's tim Willits, and sandy doesn't really hide it but He never said it was tim, He goes around naming everyone else. it you where to make a change, don't say Sandy names Tim. Grampa to sweet to be beafin on the internet,

2021-08-01 21:42:11 +0000 UTCSpeaking of "not the usual stuff", any thoughts on covering the few shooters that have come out of Japan like Binary Domain or Lost Planet at some point?
2021-08-01 20:25:35 +0000 UTCI'm still amazed that American McGee is his actual real name(and how rough of a childhood he had), and not just like a pen name he gave himself in high school or something to sound cool

2021-08-01 20:06:54 +0000 UTCFuck Origin. See, a lot of these FIFA games are copied and pasted....

2021-08-01 19:23:39 +0000 UTCYou got me with the gun during the final boss battle. Also, I was surprised to not see a Gordon Ramsey clip when you were on the invisible ledge - must be a sign of respect! Will have to add this to my list for sure. Good stuff Civvie.

2021-08-01 18:47:45 +0000 UTCSo glad to see you cover this one, your style of writing is perfect for this stuff.

2021-08-01 18:11:05 +0000 UTCLove this game, was always obsessed with the art style. Stuck at work and got the notification so I’ll be set later tonight cheers!!
2021-08-01 17:32:39 +0000 UTCThis game is a great pallet cleanser.. Reminds me of what Thief did for the Quake clones.
2021-08-01 17:15:47 +0000 UTCDuke Nukem Manhattan Project but for some reason my saves were missing and I'm going to have to play it again.

2021-08-01 17:09:53 +0000 UTCI love this one. Still have the CD for it but haven't tried to play in years. Solid game and appropriately weird.
