hello everyone and welcome to the fourth
0:02
episode of not now Mom I'm
0:05
[Music]
0:27
gaming for those of you that don't know
0:30
my name is Kate and I am your
0:32
host all
0:34
right so this is going to be a very
0:37
short podcast episode I do have longer
0:40
ones in the works however you might hear
0:44
it perhaps but I got Co not too long ago
0:48
and I was kind of out of commission for
0:52
2 weeks so during that time I didn't
0:54
really do anything on my computer and
0:56
then the holidays came up still didn't
0:59
do anything on the computer computer it
1:00
wasn't until after the holidays after
1:02
Christmas that I was able to do really
1:04
anything on the computer but I do have
1:06
some of the uh some longer games that
1:09
are in the works but for right now
1:11
you'll have to deal with this short ass
1:15
episode I feel like my voice isn't all
1:17
the way healed yet it's still a little
1:19
rough around the
1:20
edges anyway I hope your guys's holidays
1:23
have uh been good compared to mine
1:27
hopefully they've been a lot better hope
1:30
you've got everything you wanted if you
1:31
celebrate
1:33
Christmas my parents surprised me with a
1:35
gaming chair so that's nice when the
1:37
older chair um I was sitting on a pillow
1:41
and then behind me was my poo plush I
1:44
got a poo plushy I definitely got an
1:46
upgrade though a huge thank you to them
1:49
out of the holiday talk we are now
1:52
getting into the game called the plan
1:56
the description is a fly ascends to the
1:58
skies pondering that pointless of its
2:00
brief existence and it's actually very
2:03
positive in the reviews which it isn't a
2:06
bad game at all it's just super short
2:09
but I mean F's life lifespan is pretty
2:12
short if you think about
2:14
it all right so let's get into the view
2:17
so my voice can stop being horrible
2:21
sounding all right when it comes to the
2:23
plan I played some weird [ __ ] in my time
2:25
on Steam but I'm still trying to figure
2:28
out what the I just played here this
2:31
game comes from the developers behind
2:32
Among the Sleep if you played that game
2:36
it starts out looking at a closeup of
2:37
house fly which is
2:40
disconcerting I actually got goosebumps
2:42
staring at it because flies aren't that
2:44
pretty to begin with and an up close
2:45
shot of them is even more gross I ask
2:48
why it couldn't have been a butterfly if
2:50
you've ever seen their faces up close
2:51
that would be a nope on things I want to
2:53
stare at in a video game as well they're
2:55
pretty but not their faces anyway since
2:58
you're playing as a fly you may main
2:59
objective is to just fly you don't have
3:02
to go all the way to the left or all the
3:04
way to the right as there's an invisible
3:06
w at some point you can't go all that
3:08
far anyway you just had to fly upwards
3:11
for a good while I couldn't really focus
3:13
on anything else other than the fact
3:14
that the fly is on my screen it's in my
3:17
screen and it's gross and there wasn't
3:19
too much to focus on anyway aside from
3:21
some blurred trees and leaves the game
3:24
doesn't really do much visually until
3:26
you get to a certain point and that
3:27
point you're kind of in awe at both them
3:29
Majestic soundtrack and the view that's
3:32
for later though for now we get to fly
3:34
high and avoid leaves that are falling
3:36
because they'll just bring him down
3:38
nobody wants to be brought down when
3:39
they're flying high there's a moment
3:42
where I got caught in the spiderweb but
3:43
I don't know if you'd actually be in
3:45
danger of a spider coming to get you
3:47
since I wiggled out of that pretty Dam
3:49
quick I mean flies are gross to look at
3:51
but it's a hell to the NW when it comes
3:53
to spiders of course after saying that I
3:56
did play the game again and stayed on
3:58
the web for a bit and no spider ever
4:00
came out to greet me despite me not
4:02
wanting a spider to show its ugly face I
4:04
feel like that was a missed opportunity
4:06
to put the fly in some kind of danger I
4:08
said the idea of danger with being stuck
4:10
on a web and sudden horrific change in
4:12
music I don't know the instrument
4:14
something like glass on a windchime
4:16
where they're clinging
4:22
together once your pass the spiderweb
4:25
it's all uphill from here sure there are
4:28
wind shears that push against you but
4:29
it's nothing you can't get out of and
4:31
yeah there might be falling leaves as
4:33
well but just fly under and around them
4:35
and they're no big deal get out of the
4:37
thing that's impeding your forward
4:38
progress and move on kind of like life
4:41
right while I didn't mention that the
4:43
environment is rather Bland in its
4:44
detail I guess I can see why a fly isn't
4:47
really going to be engrossed by pretty
4:49
things around it it's basically looking
4:51
to fornicate neat I would have taken the
4:53
spider with the first option it's going
4:55
to be a whole lot of sky and a whole lot
4:57
of trees or sellou of them for a bit
4:59
before it looks to be snowfall and then
5:02
the orchestra comes out of nowhere and
5:04
blows us away like the wind
5:07
[Music]
5:20
did I was definitely not expecting it
5:22
but it almost had a rising from the
5:24
Ash's vibe to it like you were being
5:26
reborn into something greater as you
5:27
continued upwards no not only that but
5:30
we get some amazing clouds like the
5:32
heavens are looking upon us and so we
5:34
continue upwards like Icarus flying into
5:36
the sun only was the Sun and was only La
5:39
B and we died so as far as plan goes was
5:44
there a plan was a plan the whole time
5:46
to just survive I mean that's all a fly
5:48
can really do right considering their
5:51
horribly short lifespans that can end in
5:53
either very sudden violent ways or slow
5:55
and torturous but I guess in this game
5:58
we went out and a blaz of Glory
6:00
and not at all like going toward the Sun
6:01
as I initially thought no that sun is
6:04
either a light bulb or a bug zapper and
6:07
as with every fly's life we didn't last
6:10
very long this is probably like a six
6:12
minute game maybe shorter there is one
6:16
achievement attached to it and you have
6:18
to beat the game first and when you get
6:22
to the main screen again there's details
6:24
at the bottom uh the publisher developer
6:28
uh soundtrack you got to click on that
6:31
and then the fly turns into Navi from
6:35
Legend of Zelda that should be where you
6:37
get the achievement you don't really
6:38
need to beat the game again as Navi
6:41
thank God the stupid thing stays quiet
6:45
in fact it still has fly sounds of it
6:48
buzzing but at least it isn't as
6:51
obnoxious I would like to note that the
6:53
achievement's name is Hey listen also
6:56
even though you don't have to complete
6:57
the game as na'vi uh I went ahead and
7:01
did it when I got to the story part of
7:03
the sky I just Blended in perfectly with
7:05
the Stars it's like we are one with the
7:09
heavens of course the game doesn't end
7:11
until you kill yourself so whatever and
7:14
that's it you guys that's that's the
7:16
game in a nutshell like I said it's a
7:19
very short podcast episode I wanted to
7:21
get something out I don't want to leave
7:23
you guys hanging cuz I know it's still
7:25
going to be a little while until I get
7:26
another episode out and my voice is
7:29
still still kind of cracked and broken
7:30
at this point so without further
7:33
Ado if you guys got any games for uh the
7:36
holiday anything you wanted on your
