Wolfenstein: The New Order

WEBVTT

Hello, everyone, and welcome back to The Other Castle.

00:00:19.549 --> 00:00:20.809

00:00:20.809 --> 00:00:21.909
And my name is Tom.

Happy Tuesday to you guys, but happy Wednesday to the rest of you.

00:00:50.929 --> 00:00:52.109
And the rest.

00:00:52.109 --> 00:00:56.109
And this Wednesday or Tuesday, wherever, whenever you're listening to this, I'm not going to be mad at you.

00:00:56.109 --> 00:01:00.009
It's a very special episode because it's my favorite fucking game.

00:01:00.009 --> 00:01:01.269
Ever, right?

00:01:01.269 --> 00:01:05.109
Basically, yeah, I've fully lost my mind.

00:01:05.109 --> 00:01:07.249
I will get into it right now.

00:01:07.249 --> 00:01:12.769
So, the story of Wolfenstein goes back to September of 1981.

00:01:12.769 --> 00:01:14.129
That's before me, even.

00:01:14.169 --> 00:01:15.829
It predates both of us.

00:01:15.829 --> 00:01:19.849
When Muse Software released Castle Wolfenstein for the Apple II.

00:01:19.849 --> 00:01:26.789
The original takes place during World War II, and the protagonist is a prisoner of war being held by the Nazis in Castle Wolfenstein.

00:01:26.789 --> 00:01:31.369
Castle Wolfenstein is not a real place, but it is based on Germany's Castle...

00:01:31.369 --> 00:01:32.709
Wellesburg?

00:01:32.709 --> 00:01:33.569
Okay.

00:01:33.569 --> 00:01:36.669
The player breaks out of their imprisonment and escapes the castle.

00:01:36.669 --> 00:01:38.109
Simple enough, right?

00:01:38.109 --> 00:01:42.489
Yeah, I mean, I always thought Wolfenstein started with, like, the first-person shooter.

00:01:42.729 --> 00:01:43.489
We're going to get there.

00:01:43.489 --> 00:01:44.149
Okay.

00:01:44.149 --> 00:01:49.049
The game was a pioneer for stealth gameplay, and at the time was one of the best-selling video games.

00:01:49.049 --> 00:01:53.349
Not like there was a lot of competition in 1981, but still exciting.

00:01:53.349 --> 00:02:03.409
The franchise expanded with a sequel in 1984, and then a remake was made by a Texas-based group, ID Software, in 1992, titled Wolfenstein 3D.

00:02:03.409 --> 00:02:05.509
Ah, so that's the one I know about.

00:02:05.509 --> 00:02:13.189
Exactly, yeah, and that 3D title is largely recognized as one of the first great first-person shooter games to exist, point blank, period.

00:02:13.189 --> 00:02:14.729
Now, you're saying ID Software.

00:02:14.729 --> 00:02:16.669
I have heard people say ID Software.

00:02:16.669 --> 00:02:18.409
I'm actually not entirely sure.

00:02:18.409 --> 00:02:19.269
Then don't bring it up.

00:02:19.269 --> 00:02:21.089
What the fuck?

00:02:21.089 --> 00:02:24.269
I just know there's online discourse about it.

00:02:24.269 --> 00:02:27.369
Well, that's their problem, not fucking mine.

00:02:27.369 --> 00:02:33.849
So Wolfenstein 3D was also the actual franchise entry for protagonist William Joseph BJ.

00:02:33.849 --> 00:02:38.669
Blazkowicz, who is the primary protagonist going forward and including the title we're doing today.

00:02:40.029 --> 00:02:48.589
ID Software may sound familiar as well because they also ran the Doom, Quake, and the Commander Keen franchises in addition to The Mighty Wolfenstein.

00:02:48.589 --> 00:02:51.049
They are the ground breakers of first person shooters.

00:02:51.049 --> 00:02:52.729
Absa fucking lootly.

00:02:52.729 --> 00:02:55.429
Now these franchises share more than just the developer.

00:02:55.429 --> 00:02:59.149
As the protagonist in Doom is a confirmed descendant of BJ.

00:02:59.149 --> 00:02:59.849
Blazkowicz.

00:02:59.849 --> 00:03:01.329
Of course he is.

00:03:01.329 --> 00:03:05.789
And this was hard confirmed by the studio's co-founders, so it is true canonical lore.

00:03:05.789 --> 00:03:06.509
Oh, hell yeah.

00:03:07.189 --> 00:03:12.149
The franchise continued with a few different developers, but largely worked closely with ID Software.

00:03:12.149 --> 00:03:19.929
Particularly, the franchise leaned heavily on the Doom engine developed by ID Software, a practice that is still continued to this day.

00:03:19.929 --> 00:03:27.529
To date, there are 14 different entries in the Wolfenstein franchise, spanning PC, console, mobile, and VR titles.

00:03:27.529 --> 00:03:29.389
Wow, that is so damn many.

00:03:29.389 --> 00:03:30.009
Holy shit.

00:03:30.009 --> 00:03:31.409
It's a lot.

00:03:31.409 --> 00:03:37.469
This isn't all one canonical story, though, so don't get it twisted that you need to be like Bible on each entry.

00:03:37.469 --> 00:03:42.989
There have been several iterations of reboots and timelines have shifted around and been retconned here or there.

00:03:42.989 --> 00:03:43.589
Oh, thank God.

00:03:43.589 --> 00:03:46.909
So we haven't had to play since 1981 to understand what happened.

00:03:46.909 --> 00:03:50.989
I think you should just because they're fun, but no.

00:03:50.989 --> 00:03:58.949
Two major consistencies, though, are the American badass, William Joseph Blazkowicz, and getting to shoot, stab, and strangle Nazis.

00:03:58.949 --> 00:04:00.029
The original bad guy.

00:04:01.589 --> 00:04:07.589
Now let's do some real world history lore on why it is so fucking awesome to kill Nazis.

00:04:07.589 --> 00:04:15.309
In the 1930s, there was a political figure called Adolf Hitler, who became the fascist dictator of Germany under the Nazi Party.

00:04:15.309 --> 00:04:20.089
The Nazi Party's core beliefs are rooted in hate and what they identify as racial purity.

00:04:20.089 --> 00:04:26.409
They were of the mindset that Aryans were the master race, specifically those that were blonde with blue eyes and pale white skin.

00:04:26.969 --> 00:04:34.349
They are responsible for the murder of around 6 million people, predominantly Jewish but also people of color, people with disabilities and queer people.

00:04:34.349 --> 00:04:35.449
Holy shit.

00:04:35.449 --> 00:04:46.049
Outside of the murders, there were also regular torture of all kinds on these marginalized groups via violence, non-consensual acts, and medical torture under the guise of science.

00:04:46.049 --> 00:04:47.129
Terrible, terrible people.

00:04:47.129 --> 00:04:48.189
The worst.

00:04:48.189 --> 00:04:57.009
Nazis have adopted the insignia of the swastika, which was originally a Hindu symbol for prosperity, as well as their own iconography just across the gamut.

00:04:57.009 --> 00:04:58.429
Well, way to fuck that up.

00:04:58.429 --> 00:04:59.789
Girl.

00:04:59.789 --> 00:05:06.969
The symbol has become synonymous with hatred, specifically anti-semitism and racism for nearly 100 years.

00:05:06.969 --> 00:05:13.709
Following the fall of the Nazi party in 1945, swastikas were banned in Germany in most respects.

00:05:13.709 --> 00:05:16.589
There are very few exceptions to the swastika ban.

00:05:16.589 --> 00:05:24.569
When the Wolfenstein games were released, German gamers received censored copies that did not feature swastikas in co-ordinance with the German laws.

00:05:24.569 --> 00:05:26.469
Yeah, a lot of properties had to do that.

00:05:26.469 --> 00:05:27.389
Exactly.

00:05:27.389 --> 00:05:37.809
However, in 2018, a case was made for the use of the swastika in video games and specifically used Wolfenstein 3D as an example for its use and merit.

00:05:37.809 --> 00:05:38.709
Wow.

00:05:38.709 --> 00:05:40.189
That much longer afterwards?

00:05:40.189 --> 00:05:45.449
Yeah, relatively recently, but again, decades after the end of World War II.

00:05:46.069 --> 00:05:54.249
The ruling passed in favor of allowing free expression in video games, and now the uncensored full version of the games are available in Germany.

00:05:54.249 --> 00:05:55.169
That's amazing.

00:05:55.169 --> 00:06:00.969
It probably also helps that the franchise doesn't celebrate Nazis and in fact, celebrates killing them in very satisfying ways.

00:06:00.969 --> 00:06:06.169
But it's really cool to see something that's adjusted laws in our world.

00:06:06.169 --> 00:06:07.069
That is really cool.

00:06:07.069 --> 00:06:09.449
And then the fact that it's Wolfenstein that helped bring it about.

00:06:09.449 --> 00:06:11.289
Hell yeah.

00:06:11.289 --> 00:06:19.969
The Nazis are a despicable, disgusting people and being responsible for so many Nazi NPCs getting slaughtered is a fucking delight in this game.

00:06:21.589 --> 00:06:34.249
As a blanket fact, you do not have to be a part of a marginalized or targeted group to support quality and fair treatment of others, which makes this game of stomping the fucking soul of Nazi bastards especially enjoyable.

00:06:34.249 --> 00:06:35.209
Honestly, BJ.

00:06:35.209 --> 00:06:40.829
Blazkowicz is kind of the perfect Aryan on top of that.

00:06:40.829 --> 00:06:44.069
I'm glad you bring that up, because yes, he does have blue eyes.

00:06:44.189 --> 00:06:45.229
He has light hair.

00:06:45.349 --> 00:06:47.729
Blazkowicz is canonically half-Jewish.

00:06:47.729 --> 00:06:48.129
Oh, really?

00:06:48.129 --> 00:06:48.569
Okay.

00:06:48.569 --> 00:06:52.889
So this makes it particularly satisfying that he gets to kill a bunch of fucking Nazis.

00:06:52.889 --> 00:06:54.189
Right.

00:06:54.189 --> 00:07:03.049
After Raven Studios' 2009 Wolfenstein title, the franchise landed in the laps of Machine Games through some merger and licensing opportunities.

00:07:03.049 --> 00:07:06.769
Machine Games is a Swedish studio made up of industry veterans.

00:07:06.769 --> 00:07:11.349
At the time, they were struggling a bit to find a game that they could develop and a publisher to support the process.

00:07:11.909 --> 00:07:16.049
They had pitched out a bunch of games to different groups, including Bethesda.

00:07:16.049 --> 00:07:21.769
Bethesda's parent company ended up acquiring ID Software, which still held the rights to Wolfenstein.

00:07:21.769 --> 00:07:29.809
Bethesda, most synonymous with the Fallout series, reached out to Machine Games and wanted to see if the studio was still looking for projects to work on.

00:07:29.809 --> 00:07:37.709
After some back and forth, Machine Game realized no one had an active Wolfenstein project in the works and requested approval to jump in on the series.

00:07:37.709 --> 00:07:41.609
This would be Machine Games' first developed game, which is insane.

00:07:41.609 --> 00:07:46.869
So for them to take on something as iconic as Wolfenstein, that is just a huge undertaking.

00:07:46.869 --> 00:07:48.729
Oh, it's so ballsy.

00:07:48.729 --> 00:07:57.209
It's especially great too because ID Software personally gave their blessings on the project and granted access to the proprietary gaming engine just for Machine Games.

00:07:57.209 --> 00:08:00.149
They're like, we feel you, go for it.

00:08:00.149 --> 00:08:02.729
Development on the game took about three years.

00:08:02.729 --> 00:08:11.769
One of the big goals of the title was to take the most iconic first person shooter franchise in history and push it to a strange new world.

00:08:11.769 --> 00:08:18.189
One step it took towards that strange new world was casting actor Brian Bloom as William Blazkowicz.

00:08:18.189 --> 00:08:25.629
Brian Bloom has done a ton of cartoon voiceover and video game performances and did full mocap for his performance in Wolfenstein.

00:08:25.629 --> 00:08:28.929
He originally auditioned for the game without knowing what game it would be.

00:08:28.929 --> 00:08:32.369
Only that Bethesda was publishing it, which was really cool for him.

00:08:32.369 --> 00:08:39.609
He recorded an at-home audition and after signing a fucking mountain of NDAs, found out it was a Wolfenstein game.

00:08:39.609 --> 00:08:40.969
Oh my God, that's amazing.

00:08:40.969 --> 00:08:47.309
Brian Bloom had played previous iterations of the game and has called Blazkowicz his favorite role he's ever played.

00:08:47.309 --> 00:08:53.689
He does note that Blazkowicz being nicknamed BJ has been inconvenient at times, but nevertheless, he loves the role.

00:08:53.689 --> 00:09:01.489
And I just imagine it's because people would yell BJ at him in the streets or at conventions and he's a guy, so he has to be like, no, thank you.

00:09:01.489 --> 00:09:02.789
Oh yes, you love my work.

00:09:02.789 --> 00:09:03.889
Excellent.

00:09:03.889 --> 00:09:06.489
Brian Bloom, like Blazkowicz, is a trained fighter.

00:09:06.949 --> 00:09:10.549
He's called the combat sequences in the game a real treat for him, which I love.

00:09:10.549 --> 00:09:13.969
And it's clear because he kicks so much ass in this game.

00:09:13.969 --> 00:09:16.589
Oh, that's why there's so many different animations for how you kill people.

00:09:16.589 --> 00:09:18.269
Hell yeah.

00:09:18.269 --> 00:09:24.509
Along with getting to do what he's described as fun, exciting, bombastic, crazy, hard ass, fucking banana shit.

00:09:24.509 --> 00:09:28.809
Brian Bloom really connected with the emotional weight of the storytelling.

00:09:28.809 --> 00:09:35.449
He said what was really amazing was that we had a little bit of emotional experience together quite often.

00:09:36.089 --> 00:09:45.289
So what sticks out for me through the fog of the memory of working on this after all these years is how pertinent, how organic, how sometimes personal it was.

00:09:45.289 --> 00:09:52.529
His love largely paid off with Wolfenstein The New Order being thoroughly enjoyed by dedicated and new fans alike.

00:09:52.529 --> 00:10:00.049
The title has moved well over 3 million copies and was nominated for several awards in storytelling and in action.

00:10:00.049 --> 00:10:04.749
This was easily the most enjoyable game I've played in a long time.

00:10:05.249 --> 00:10:11.469
It handles incredibly well and has some of the most satisfying combat I've just ever experienced, period.

00:10:11.469 --> 00:10:19.489
Blazkowicz is a fantastic protagonist, and the day I finished the game, I downloaded the sequel immediately and the prequel.

00:10:19.489 --> 00:10:23.689
And then I performed several pop songs where I changed the lyrics to be about Wolfenstein.

00:10:23.689 --> 00:10:25.209
She very much did.

00:10:25.209 --> 00:10:33.529
Tom was actually originally thinking about covering Wolfenstein for this show, but I scooped it up before he could, and I'm beyond grateful that I did.

00:10:33.969 --> 00:10:41.069
I was blown away when we sat down to really nail down this season, and you said you wanted to do Wolfenstein.

00:10:42.229 --> 00:10:43.089
Why's that?

00:10:43.089 --> 00:10:44.829
Because I grew up on Wolfenstein.

00:10:44.829 --> 00:10:48.729
I played Wolfenstein 3D as a child.

00:10:48.729 --> 00:10:59.969
There was one of the conventions we went to where I bonded with somebody over being a child at the San Diego County Fair, digging through boxes of floppy disks looking for Wolfenstein.

00:11:00.329 --> 00:11:01.369
Floppy disks!

00:11:01.369 --> 00:11:08.429
Like, yeah, floppy disks, because back then they didn't do anything about pirating and it was very easy to get cheap copies and that was the best way to do it.

00:11:08.429 --> 00:11:13.449
But yeah, I fully bonded with this guy who was just like, holy shit, I had that same experience as you.

00:11:13.449 --> 00:11:14.369
For Wolfenstein.

00:11:14.369 --> 00:11:15.989
Yeah, for Wolfenstein specifically.

00:11:15.989 --> 00:11:17.649
So this is in my blood.

00:11:17.649 --> 00:11:21.189
This is one of my first games ever was Wolfenstein.

00:11:21.189 --> 00:11:22.709
And then you're like, I want to play Wolfenstein.

00:11:22.709 --> 00:11:24.849
I'm like, you know what, go for it.

00:11:24.849 --> 00:11:25.609
Sure, bitch.

00:11:25.609 --> 00:11:31.569
As we started this series, you always said you could never do the first person shooter stuff and you wanted to jump in on Wolfenstein.

00:11:31.569 --> 00:11:32.689
I was so fucking happy.

00:11:32.689 --> 00:11:40.089
And then I watched you play it as you went through this entire journey of, this is my favorite game ever made.

00:11:40.089 --> 00:11:48.949
And then you wouldn't shut up about it and how great it was to the point where I was just like, I want to wait for the episode on it, but then I had to play it too.

00:11:48.949 --> 00:11:50.489
So yes, we have both played it.

00:11:50.489 --> 00:11:52.269
Turns out there's two paths you can take anyway.

00:11:52.269 --> 00:11:53.529
So we each took a different path.

00:11:53.529 --> 00:11:54.829
Yeah.

00:11:54.829 --> 00:11:55.729
And yeah, I got to agree.

00:11:55.729 --> 00:11:58.149
Wolfenstein, this is a fantastic fucking game.

00:11:58.249 --> 00:12:00.109
I am so happy to be covering it.

00:12:00.109 --> 00:12:01.329
This is a masterpiece.

00:12:01.329 --> 00:12:06.709
It changed my brain chemistry and it made me fall in love with video games in a way I didn't know I could.

00:12:06.709 --> 00:12:12.209
And I think a big reason for it is that this is a love letter to first-person shooters at its core.

00:12:12.209 --> 00:12:13.769
And I love killing Nazis.

00:12:13.769 --> 00:12:15.349
And you love killing Nazis.

00:12:15.349 --> 00:12:17.349
I fucking hate Nazis.

00:12:17.349 --> 00:12:19.329
So this was amazing to play.

00:12:19.349 --> 00:12:20.729
Oh my God.

00:12:20.729 --> 00:12:24.729
And you can see why the concept has been so popular ever since.

00:12:26.029 --> 00:12:28.769
For over 40 fucking years.

00:12:28.769 --> 00:12:29.249
Oh my God.

00:12:29.249 --> 00:12:30.329
Has it really been shit?

00:12:30.329 --> 00:12:31.489
Yeah.

00:12:31.489 --> 00:12:33.969
Time is a son of a bitch, Tom.

00:12:33.969 --> 00:12:36.429
I'm really glad that I snatched this up from under you.

00:12:36.429 --> 00:12:38.049
It was so much fun.

00:12:38.049 --> 00:12:39.169
I played it on a PS5.

00:12:39.169 --> 00:12:40.009
It felt amazing.

00:12:40.009 --> 00:12:41.029
It handles well.

00:12:41.029 --> 00:12:44.929
The graphics absolutely fucking hold up to this day.

00:12:44.929 --> 00:12:49.249
When you were playing it, which you played after my playthrough, I would be like, look at that fucking steam.

00:12:49.249 --> 00:12:49.829
Look at this.

00:12:49.829 --> 00:12:50.609
Look at that.

00:12:50.609 --> 00:12:51.429
Holy shit.

00:12:51.429 --> 00:12:53.449
This game is 10 years old.

00:12:53.789 --> 00:12:57.609
Wolfenstein The New Order came out in May of 2014.

00:12:57.629 --> 00:12:58.289
Jesus.

00:12:58.289 --> 00:13:00.209
It looks stunning today.

00:13:00.209 --> 00:13:00.389
Yeah.

00:13:00.389 --> 00:13:05.789
It came out across PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and it looks fucking perfect.

00:13:05.789 --> 00:13:07.089
Looks brand new today.

00:13:07.089 --> 00:13:09.689
Oh, it's a perfect game.

00:13:09.689 --> 00:13:17.209
I am so happy and honored to be able to chat with all of you about this, my favorite fucking game, Wolfenstein.

00:13:17.209 --> 00:13:19.769
And this is Wolfenstein The New Order.

00:13:21.349 --> 00:13:24.449
The game starts in July 1946.

00:13:24.449 --> 00:13:32.389
In our world, German forces had surrendered their fight in World War II in May of 1945, shortly after the death of Adolf Hitler.

00:13:32.389 --> 00:13:36.969
But in the world of Wolfenstein, the Nazi forces won World War II.

00:13:36.969 --> 00:13:37.849
Oh shit.

00:13:37.849 --> 00:13:42.869
There are still allied resistance fighters against the Nazis, and that's where Blazkowicz is dropped in.

00:13:42.869 --> 00:13:47.369
Blazkowicz is a big beefy beef boy with blue eyes, dirty blonde hair.

00:13:47.369 --> 00:13:54.329
Earlier in the franchise, he was originally a redhead, but that was only due to the color and technological restraints of the time.

00:13:54.329 --> 00:13:58.109
Our Blazkowicz has a massive jaw and even more massive muscles.

00:13:58.109 --> 00:14:10.229
Our first look at Blazkowicz shows him asleep in a turbulent aircraft, dreaming of a simple life, one where he's laying out in his backyard while his beautiful wife grills hamburgers and his daughters play in the yard.

00:14:10.229 --> 00:14:15.529
He ends his own dream by saying, these things, none of them are for me.

00:14:15.529 --> 00:14:19.569
He wakes up and is in the cockpit of a plane looking out at an air assault.

00:14:19.569 --> 00:14:23.109
A fleet of fighter planes are in formation with his plane.

00:14:23.109 --> 00:14:26.509
They're over the Baltic Sea, near the coast of Germany.

00:14:26.509 --> 00:14:31.789
An aggressively Scottish man tells Blazkowicz to fly the plane because he needs to take a piss.

00:14:31.789 --> 00:14:37.749
He's a skinny redhead named Fergus Reed, and he and Blazkowicz have worked together for a long time.

00:14:37.749 --> 00:14:42.609
Fergus calls Blazkowicz Blazko, and they are brothers in times of war.

00:14:42.609 --> 00:14:46.989
Fergus's pee break is halted when one of the fleet's fighter planes is shot out of the sky.

00:14:47.589 --> 00:14:54.169
Fergus leaps into action back in the cockpit to keep steady as the plane that was shot out hits their plane's engine.

00:14:54.169 --> 00:15:03.029
Blazkowicz follows some quick tutorials working on the engine and releasing cargo so their plane can get a little lighter before Fergus realizes it's time to jump ship.

00:15:03.029 --> 00:15:11.489
And I say that literally because their plane begins to go down, and Fergus and Blazkowicz jump from their plane onto the wing of one of the other planes in formation.

00:15:11.949 --> 00:15:13.509
Baldy motherfuckers!

00:15:13.509 --> 00:15:20.689
Unfortunately, the plane they're jumping to has some wing damage, but it beats a burning engine, so might as well take the leap.

00:15:20.689 --> 00:15:28.989
It's a glorious sequence to start the fucking game with, and Blazkowicz follows Fergus into the sky as they leap from one faulty plane to another.

00:15:28.989 --> 00:15:30.029
Holy shit.

00:15:30.029 --> 00:15:32.549
That is some Tom Cruise Mission Impossible shit right there.

00:15:32.549 --> 00:15:33.809
That's how he warms up for the day.

00:15:34.109 --> 00:15:35.269
Oh god damn.

00:15:35.269 --> 00:15:42.209
More and more planes get shot out of the air as Blazkowicz enters the new fighter plane, full of rookie resistance soldiers.

00:15:42.209 --> 00:15:46.949
Blazkowicz runs to the cockpit to rejoin Fergus, who is now piloting the flaming plane.

00:15:46.949 --> 00:15:52.949
The pilot is dead and kneeling over his body is a young soldier who is screaming bloody murder.

00:15:52.949 --> 00:15:57.369
He's a young American hyperventilating at the sight of blood and loss.

00:15:57.369 --> 00:16:01.549
Blazkowicz holds the boy upright and slaps him across the face.

00:16:01.549 --> 00:16:01.809
Twice.

00:16:02.749 --> 00:16:06.769
The young soldier thanks Blazkowicz for the act and says he's okay now.

00:16:06.769 --> 00:16:11.409
This is private Probst Wyatt III and he's barely 17 or 18 years old.

00:16:11.409 --> 00:16:13.189
His first name is Probst?

00:16:13.189 --> 00:16:13.709
Yeah.

00:16:13.709 --> 00:16:15.509
Oh, that's a last name.

00:16:16.709 --> 00:16:22.469
Fergus is on the radio telling the operator they're in dire straits, but the operator tells him to keep going.

00:16:22.469 --> 00:16:28.669
If they lose this mission, they lose all of Europe, so they have to keep going.

00:16:29.849 --> 00:16:37.009
Unfortunately, the plane has taken so much damage, it has no choice but to crash land on the shore of Germany.

00:16:37.009 --> 00:16:39.089
So that's exactly what happens.

00:16:39.089 --> 00:16:42.209
Blazkowicz has passed out underwater, along with the rest of the soldiers.

00:16:42.209 --> 00:16:43.949
That is not a place you want to be passed out.

00:16:43.949 --> 00:16:45.189
It's not where you want to wake up.

00:16:45.189 --> 00:16:46.369
No.

00:16:46.369 --> 00:16:51.029
Bullets speed past him underwater, shooting soldiers swimming up for air.

00:16:51.029 --> 00:16:56.349
Blazkowicz's voiceover says that the Nazi war machine has been advancing at an alarming rate.

00:16:56.869 --> 00:17:02.689
The resistance has been outclassed and outgunned, and no one knows why.

00:17:02.689 --> 00:17:09.569
His eyes pop open and his voiceover continues on, saying that people are getting desperate, but not him.

00:17:09.569 --> 00:17:12.829
He's here to see an old friend and settle a score.

00:17:12.829 --> 00:17:14.909
Turn this thing around.

00:17:14.909 --> 00:17:19.669
As he starts to service, a dog-shaped war machine flashes its teeth at him.

00:17:19.669 --> 00:17:24.849
It's a robot dog exoskeleton with gnashing sharp teeth and razor-like claws.

00:17:24.849 --> 00:17:25.489
Terrifying.

00:17:25.909 --> 00:17:32.749
It tosses Blazkowicz like a fucking ragdoll, and he falls into the cockpit of another demolished plane on the beach.

00:17:32.749 --> 00:17:41.289
Fergus and some of the soldiers are in another wrecked plane, and they work with Blazkowicz to gather the survivors to infiltrate the Nazi compound they crashed near.

00:17:41.289 --> 00:17:42.889
Death-Head's compound.

00:17:42.889 --> 00:17:44.829
Ooh, Death-Head's a great fucking name.

00:17:44.829 --> 00:17:47.429
Oh, it's terrifying immediately.

00:17:47.429 --> 00:17:50.289
Death-Head is a high-ranking militant Nazi.

00:17:50.289 --> 00:17:53.129
He's a returning character from earlier in the Wolfenstein franchise.

00:17:53.509 --> 00:17:53.949
Really?

00:17:53.949 --> 00:17:54.409
Yeah.

00:17:54.409 --> 00:17:56.789
So not just BJ.?

00:17:56.789 --> 00:18:00.329
There are three characters that come back.

00:18:00.329 --> 00:18:05.209
That's crazy, because I don't remember the other ones necessarily having a story other than kill Nazis.

00:18:05.209 --> 00:18:08.249
Are you really just thinking of like the one from 1994?

00:18:08.249 --> 00:18:09.389
Okay, yeah, fine.

00:18:09.609 --> 00:18:10.429
I am, but...

00:18:10.429 --> 00:18:14.409
Okay, because there's nearly a dozen titles in between those.

00:18:14.409 --> 00:18:15.409
Apparently.

00:18:15.429 --> 00:18:18.169
Holy shit, I missed out.

00:18:18.169 --> 00:18:22.269
Death-Head and Blazkowicz go way the fuck back and they obviously fucking hate each other.

00:18:22.849 --> 00:18:30.469
Death-Head is often canonically an overseer of those really fucked up human and weapons testing facilities in the name of Nazi science.

00:18:30.469 --> 00:18:32.409
This guy fucking sucks.

00:18:32.409 --> 00:18:35.989
All the Nazis fucking suck, but this guy especially.

00:18:35.989 --> 00:18:40.289
Blazkowicz meets up with Fergus, Private Wyatt, and a handful of survivors on campus.

00:18:40.289 --> 00:18:42.509
Fergus says, gather around, bear boys.

00:18:42.509 --> 00:18:45.929
This went from a goose hunt to a stick up job.

00:18:45.929 --> 00:18:47.489
I love Fergus.

00:18:47.489 --> 00:18:48.609
Fergus is amazing.

00:18:48.609 --> 00:18:52.269
I fell in love with Fergus the fucking moment he started speaking.

00:18:52.849 --> 00:18:53.569
He's one of those.

00:18:53.569 --> 00:18:55.869
He's wildly charismatic.

00:18:55.869 --> 00:19:03.729
He goes on to explain that this is the closest the resistance has been to General Death's head in years, the central pillar of the German army.

00:19:03.729 --> 00:19:08.489
Simply put, if they kill the general, they cut the head off the Kraut war machine.

00:19:08.489 --> 00:19:10.229
If they don't, they're fucked.

00:19:10.229 --> 00:19:12.589
Wait, Private, are you okay?

00:19:12.589 --> 00:19:16.289
Fergus turns to Private Wyatt, who is actively having a panic attack.

00:19:16.609 --> 00:19:17.269
Yeah.

00:19:17.269 --> 00:19:20.729
He says his eyes are watering and he feels like he's gonna be sick.

00:19:20.729 --> 00:19:24.309
Scared, Private Wyatt asks, is this normal?

00:19:24.309 --> 00:19:28.069
Well, yeah, you only just told him that literally the entire thing is fucked.

00:19:28.069 --> 00:19:31.729
Like everybody in the world will be dead if we don't succeed today.

00:19:31.729 --> 00:19:34.669
Also, he saw someone die and he's like really uncomfy about it.

00:19:34.669 --> 00:19:37.389
Oh, this is the wrong person to bring on this mission.

00:19:37.389 --> 00:19:41.869
Blazkowicz puts his hand on Wyatt's shoulder, reassuring him that it's just nerves.

00:19:41.869 --> 00:19:44.269
Calmly, Blazkowicz says he's gonna teach him a trick.

00:19:44.949 --> 00:19:47.249
And they do breathing exercises.

00:19:47.249 --> 00:19:49.709
Inhale, count to four.

00:19:49.709 --> 00:19:51.689
Exhale, count to four.

00:19:51.689 --> 00:19:53.549
That's all there is to it.

00:19:53.549 --> 00:20:04.289
This absolute fucking unit of a Nazi killing machine took the time in the guts of war to show grace, patience and kindness to a teenage resistance fighter.

00:20:04.289 --> 00:20:06.349
Blazkowicz is the perfect person.

00:20:06.349 --> 00:20:08.129
He is the ultimate American.

00:20:08.849 --> 00:20:17.829
After this like mindfulness moment where he teaches this boy how to meditate, Fergus Rea rallies the troops and says, this time we get the job done.

00:20:17.829 --> 00:20:18.609
Hell yeah.

00:20:18.609 --> 00:20:30.229
This kicks off a gorgeous section that feels amazing to play, where Blazkowicz and two privates rappel up a wall, rope in one hand, assault rifle in the other.

00:20:30.229 --> 00:20:41.089
As they climb, Nazi operatives pop their stupid little fucking faces out of windows, and you get to shoot them down one-handed, and watch their weak little bodies tumble out of the windows.

00:20:42.169 --> 00:20:44.369
You gotta dodge them too while they're falling out.

00:20:44.369 --> 00:20:46.229
Yeah, it's fucking amazing.

00:20:46.229 --> 00:20:51.349
It feels so good and it feels innovative, and this was made ten years ago.

00:20:51.349 --> 00:20:54.069
Why aren't games this good anymore?

00:20:54.069 --> 00:21:02.329
Fergus and the other privates provide covering fire and cultural context, reiterating, they have to go put bullets in Death's Head's head today.

00:21:03.349 --> 00:21:04.949
Death's Head's head, that's good.

00:21:04.949 --> 00:21:07.509
It was difficult to say, thank you.

00:21:07.509 --> 00:21:15.749
Unfortunately, between a plane crashing into the building and some sneaky-ass Nazis, only Blazkowicz makes it up the wall and into the compound successfully.

00:21:15.749 --> 00:21:16.869
Ah, shit.

00:21:16.869 --> 00:21:21.669
He navigates and gets the rest of the operatives into Death's Head's stronghold.

00:21:21.669 --> 00:21:30.129
They rendezvous after a fantastic firefight where Fergus has to like manually tell Wyatt to reload his guns.

00:21:30.129 --> 00:21:30.909
Fucking Wyatt.

00:21:31.209 --> 00:21:34.649
Also, don't reload them out in the open for Christ's sake.

00:21:34.649 --> 00:21:36.149
No, you need to be behind cover.

00:21:36.149 --> 00:21:37.269
We've learned this before.

00:21:37.269 --> 00:21:38.629
He's a teenager.

00:21:38.629 --> 00:21:39.109
Oh, God.

00:21:39.109 --> 00:21:42.089
I've seen people's heads get blown off for this kind of shit in other games.

00:21:42.089 --> 00:21:42.849
Yeah.

00:21:42.849 --> 00:21:44.049
And in this game.

00:21:44.049 --> 00:21:45.209
Yeah.

00:21:45.209 --> 00:21:49.969
The remaining resistance squad is Blazkowicz, Fergus, Private Wyatt, and two other privates.

00:21:49.969 --> 00:21:50.509
Uh-oh.

00:21:50.509 --> 00:21:55.349
One of which is missing an eye and has two broken feet, the other of which is blonde.

00:21:55.349 --> 00:21:57.249
They're also missing names, so.

00:21:57.249 --> 00:21:58.689
Well, the blonde one's name is Blondie now.

00:22:00.149 --> 00:22:02.669
And broken feet is called Broken Feet.

00:22:04.429 --> 00:22:05.549
They're Kojima characters.

00:22:05.549 --> 00:22:06.729
Yeah.

00:22:06.729 --> 00:22:09.869
Those are their canonical Christian names.

00:22:09.869 --> 00:22:15.429
During their mission, the ground gives out below them, and they crash into a Nazi testing facility.

00:22:15.429 --> 00:22:19.769
They look around, and Wyatt immediately starts projectile vomiting.

00:22:19.769 --> 00:22:21.269
This poor fucking kid.

00:22:21.269 --> 00:22:22.989
He has no stomach for anything.

00:22:22.989 --> 00:22:25.749
No, he's a sweet little baby angel.

00:22:25.749 --> 00:22:27.089
He cannot handle this.

00:22:27.089 --> 00:22:28.329
He should not be on this mission.

00:22:28.949 --> 00:22:33.789
The lab they're in has human bodies hooked up in intense machinery.

00:22:33.789 --> 00:22:36.949
The nude bodies are mid decay and hairless.

00:22:36.949 --> 00:22:40.809
Unfortunately, at least one of them is still twitching.

00:22:40.809 --> 00:22:46.069
They're on their knees held at a 45 degree angle with their backs splayed open for experimentation.

00:22:46.069 --> 00:22:47.609
What the fuck?

00:22:47.609 --> 00:22:51.969
Wyatt nervously tells everyone that there's ashes below the floor.

00:22:51.969 --> 00:22:52.729
A lot of ashes.

00:22:53.209 --> 00:22:53.509
Ash?

00:22:53.509 --> 00:22:55.349
Oh my god.

00:22:55.349 --> 00:23:02.209
Upon further inspection, the entire room is rigged to be an incinerator, presumably to quickly dispose of test subjects.

00:23:03.509 --> 00:23:05.549
Nazis are the worst.

00:23:05.549 --> 00:23:14.729
We know that the room is hooked up to be an incinerator, because Wyatt accidentally triggers the full room incinerator, thinking it was the lock for the door so they could escape.

00:23:14.729 --> 00:23:17.069
This fucking private.

00:23:17.069 --> 00:23:18.149
You ate him.

00:23:18.149 --> 00:23:20.529
I have no sympathy for Wyatt right now.

00:23:20.729 --> 00:23:22.829
He's a sweet little baby.

00:23:24.169 --> 00:23:31.409
The squad does make it out, with Blazkowicz carrying old broken feet through the escape door before the whole room goes up in flames.

00:23:31.409 --> 00:23:41.869
The next room is a largely empty room, but then a Nazi war machine, seven feet tall, and all machinery bursts out of the floor and smashes Blondie's head.

00:23:41.869 --> 00:23:44.749
So that extra year really gave them a lot of technology.

00:23:44.749 --> 00:23:45.509
It's fucked.

00:23:45.509 --> 00:23:46.869
Yeah.

00:23:46.869 --> 00:23:50.989
So now we're down to Blazkowicz, Fergus, Wyatt, and old broken feet.

00:23:50.989 --> 00:23:57.889
These Nazi war machines are called Supersoldaten, a new breed of super soldiers personally engineered by Death's Head.

00:23:57.889 --> 00:24:04.449
They're created by human test subjects that are chemically altered and infused surgically with cybernetics and steel.

00:24:04.449 --> 00:24:10.329
The human's mind is ravaged down to a primitive state to remove questions of morality and ethics.

00:24:10.329 --> 00:24:13.429
They are literally murderous Nazi war machines.

00:24:14.669 --> 00:24:20.669
The sound of shooting down a super soldin attracts someone, and Wyatt warns the group he hears someone coming.

00:24:20.669 --> 00:24:24.769
A concrete door separates the resistance fighters from the rest of the compound.

00:24:24.769 --> 00:24:30.409
A small observation window in the door opens to reveal the menacing smile of General Death's Head.

00:24:30.409 --> 00:24:31.989
Oh, fuck that guy.

00:24:31.989 --> 00:24:38.869
He's an old man, canonically 86 years old here, with wrinkled, smoker's lips and no more hair on his body.

00:24:38.869 --> 00:24:41.369
Well, at least we won't have to deal with them for much longer, fuck.

00:24:43.429 --> 00:24:48.469
General Death's Head smiles with both rows of teeth, which is menacing as fuck every time anyone does it.

00:24:48.469 --> 00:24:50.469
Right, never show both rows of teeth.

00:24:50.469 --> 00:24:52.229
It's so creepy.

00:24:52.229 --> 00:24:56.149
Upon seeing both rows of teeth, Wyatt screams in fear.

00:24:56.149 --> 00:24:58.329
That does not surprise me coming from Wyatt.

00:24:58.329 --> 00:25:01.049
He can't handle shit.

00:25:01.049 --> 00:25:06.689
Death's Head silently taps some buttons on the other side of the door, and the walls start to close in in the room.

00:25:06.689 --> 00:25:08.329
Oh, fuck, it's also a compactor?

00:25:08.789 --> 00:25:11.449
Yeah, the room isn't just a facility for the super soldiers.

00:25:11.449 --> 00:25:16.489
This is a fucking trash compacting area for like scrapped steel that wasn't up to snuff.

00:25:16.489 --> 00:25:18.889
Oh, into the garbage chute, flyboy.

00:25:18.889 --> 00:25:21.609
Fergus tells Wyatt to calm down.

00:25:21.609 --> 00:25:22.669
It's a war.

00:25:22.669 --> 00:25:23.809
People die.

00:25:23.809 --> 00:25:25.409
Oh my god.

00:25:25.409 --> 00:25:32.269
Death's Head closes the room in on the remaining four men and laughs while asking, what are you people doing here?

00:25:32.269 --> 00:25:37.829
Blazkowicz passes out as the wall presses against his chest, flattening him and his comrades against the concrete.

00:25:38.129 --> 00:25:39.449
Oh.

00:25:39.449 --> 00:25:44.049
Blazkowicz comes to, half naked and handcuffed and bellied down on the ground.

00:25:44.049 --> 00:25:45.909
We survived this?

00:25:45.909 --> 00:25:46.089
Yeah.

00:25:46.089 --> 00:25:47.669
Oh, the game doesn't end here.

00:25:47.669 --> 00:25:49.729
Okay.

00:25:49.729 --> 00:25:51.629
Dip shit.

00:25:51.629 --> 00:25:56.729
Super soldiers have him, Fergus, Wyatt, and broken feet all in the same position.

00:25:56.729 --> 00:26:03.069
Death's Head looks down at them saying, it's been a while since he's practiced his English, since it's a dying tongue.

00:26:04.129 --> 00:26:07.109
Death's Head kneels down to Blazkowicz and recognizes him.

00:26:07.109 --> 00:26:08.929
He says, I like you.

00:26:08.929 --> 00:26:11.769
Such a resilient specimen.

00:26:11.769 --> 00:26:16.269
Death's Head moves on to Wyatt saying, he likes the eyes on this one.

00:26:16.269 --> 00:26:19.549
Fergus screams, don't you fucking touch him.

00:26:19.549 --> 00:26:23.629
Death's Head looks down at Fergus and offers, I like yours too.

00:26:23.629 --> 00:26:25.129
Oh my God.

00:26:25.129 --> 00:26:28.469
Death's Head moves on to broken feet and says, not this one.

00:26:28.469 --> 00:26:30.689
Someone broke it already.

00:26:30.689 --> 00:26:39.249
Wyatt breathes erratically and deeply, trying to do his mindful meditation, but unable to in these dire circumstances at the edge of certain death.

00:26:39.249 --> 00:26:40.149
Yeah, he just learned it.

00:26:40.149 --> 00:26:41.889
He's not gonna be a pro.

00:26:41.889 --> 00:26:45.969
You don't think he's just gonna catch on to mindful meditation immediately?

00:26:47.049 --> 00:26:52.669
Death's Head positions himself between Wyatt and Fergus and asks Blazkowicz to help him make a choice.

00:26:52.669 --> 00:26:56.909
He gestures at the men on either side of him, Wyatt and Fergus.

00:26:56.909 --> 00:27:03.089
He asks Blazkowicz, which one of these two varieties would best support my research?

00:27:03.089 --> 00:27:10.809
With more than a gun to his head, General Death's Head makes Blazkowicz decide who will survive this encounter, Wyatt or Fergus?

00:27:10.809 --> 00:27:12.609
Guess which one I chose.

00:27:14.389 --> 00:27:20.149
And this is where the game splits into two timelines like Tom's alluded to, the Fergus timeline and the Wyatt timeline.

00:27:20.149 --> 00:27:28.369
Both are valid, there is truly no wrong answer despite what Tom's screaming about, and the effects will ripple through the entire rest of this game and the sequel.

00:27:29.249 --> 00:27:31.249
Which is insane.

00:27:31.249 --> 00:27:40.249
The internet is generally divided on this, with Fergus being the funny, charismatic character, and Wyatt being a wide-eyed young man with the rest of his life ahead of him.

00:27:40.249 --> 00:27:41.649
I picked Wyatt.

00:27:41.649 --> 00:27:43.029
I did not.

00:27:44.769 --> 00:27:52.229
Blazkowicz is haunted by seeing so many children die in war, I couldn't make him watch another kid in his care lost to the Nazis.

00:27:52.229 --> 00:28:00.349
Fergus had a whole life and he's gotten to taste fresh air, and Wyatt has barely left his hometown and got dumped into Germany to fight for his own freedom.

00:28:00.349 --> 00:28:06.589
It was a hard decision, but I did also watch the Fergus timeline, so I know what happened in both.

00:28:06.589 --> 00:28:13.729
Yeah, and also to me, it was like Wyatt has gotten us into every single mess so far, and Fergus has gotten us out.

00:28:13.729 --> 00:28:15.129
So...

00:28:15.129 --> 00:28:17.509
You're like, he'd be more helpful long term.

00:28:17.709 --> 00:28:18.769
I get what you're saying.

00:28:18.769 --> 00:28:21.509
I just was like, I can't send this kid off.

00:28:21.509 --> 00:28:22.509
I get you.

00:28:22.509 --> 00:28:23.649
I'm a Team Fergus man.

00:28:24.309 --> 00:28:29.849
Death's Head is surprised by Blazkowicz picking Fergus, saying he would prefer the younger specimen.

00:28:29.849 --> 00:28:32.449
Fergus immediately forgives Blazkowicz, saying, It's okay.

00:28:32.449 --> 00:28:33.329
It's a war.

00:28:33.329 --> 00:28:34.689
People die.

00:28:34.689 --> 00:28:36.789
My time is up, it's all.

00:28:36.789 --> 00:28:40.149
Blazkowicz's eyes glaze over, hearing screams.

00:28:40.149 --> 00:28:43.089
He thinks, today Death's Head is teaching me a lesson.

00:28:43.089 --> 00:28:46.969
I've seen suffering, death, people maimed and tortured.

00:28:46.969 --> 00:28:51.169
Thought I'd seen it all, but I'd never seen true cruelty until now.

00:28:52.249 --> 00:28:59.469
He tells himself, count to four, inhale, count to four, exhale.

00:28:59.469 --> 00:29:04.629
After the screaming stops, General Death's Head whistled for his war machines to let go of the men.

00:29:04.629 --> 00:29:07.689
Everyone is tied up, so there's no use holding them down anymore.

00:29:07.689 --> 00:29:15.829
He leaves one war machine in the room with Blazkowicz, broken foot and Wyatt and leaves, flipping on the incinerator switch on his way out.

00:29:15.829 --> 00:29:19.089
Wyatt jumps into action saying, sir, I have a plan.

00:29:19.089 --> 00:29:24.489
And he wiggles out of his handcuffs, just like around his body, so his hands are in front of him instead of behind him.

00:29:24.489 --> 00:29:28.369
He hops on an incinerator bed and gets the war machine's attention.

00:29:28.369 --> 00:29:40.009
While he's doing this, he throws loose piping at Blazkowicz, who catches it, sneaks up on the war machine, and shoves the pipe between the steel fittings to pierce the remaining flesh beneath the bulletproof armor, killing the war machine.

00:29:40.009 --> 00:29:41.029
Damn, okay.

00:29:41.029 --> 00:29:43.789
Like this is the most useful Wyatt's bed so far.

00:29:43.789 --> 00:29:44.929
Well, this is where it's interchangeable.

00:29:44.929 --> 00:29:50.989
Fergus does the exact same shit, so I can't really take that one for Team Wyatt here.

00:29:50.989 --> 00:29:56.949
Blazkowicz and Wyatt destroy the incinerator machinery so they don't light on fire immediately, which is a good idea.

00:29:56.949 --> 00:30:00.809
They get out of their handcuffs, and Blazkowicz picks the lock to the window.

00:30:00.809 --> 00:30:10.789
Wyatt grabs broken feet, and as the incinerator parts begin to shake with gas and fire, the three men jump and fall out of the window into the ocean below.

00:30:10.789 --> 00:30:17.369
The explosion from the incinerator room pushes them far out over the beach, insuring them a watery landing.

00:30:17.369 --> 00:30:24.049
A massive piece of loose shrapnel pierces Blazkowicz's skull, leaving huge gashes around his head.

00:30:24.049 --> 00:30:25.729
Oh, it's so bad.

00:30:25.729 --> 00:30:34.609
As Blazkowicz's body splashes down, we get the production card for Bethesda Software Presents, a game by Machine Games.

00:30:34.609 --> 00:30:36.749
Oh, that was just the prologue.

00:30:36.749 --> 00:30:38.649
It's just the prologue, and it's so fucking good.

00:30:38.649 --> 00:30:40.049
Oh, that's great.

00:30:40.049 --> 00:30:44.269
Blood fills the ocean water as Blazkowicz floats unconscious on the surface.

00:30:44.909 --> 00:30:48.889
He's found himself on a piece of driftwood, which has saved him from drowning.

00:30:48.889 --> 00:30:55.989
As he lays dying, alone in the ocean, we get the title card, Wolfenstein, The New Order.

00:30:55.989 --> 00:31:00.549
Shortly after, Blazkowicz's nearly dead body washes up on the rocky shores.

00:31:00.549 --> 00:31:05.569
Voices ring out, paired with lights, saying, Here, someone's drowning, come here.

00:31:05.569 --> 00:31:11.869
Blazkowicz fades in and out of consciousness as the voices find a heartbeat and rush him to a hospital.

00:31:11.869 --> 00:31:16.949
The next shot is of a skull x-ray, and we hear a voice saying, It's been nine weeks.

00:31:16.949 --> 00:31:20.069
He has no ID and no one's come to claim him.

00:31:20.069 --> 00:31:22.429
They can't remove the shrapnel and his brain is broken.

00:31:22.429 --> 00:31:24.869
It's like scrambled eggs in there.

00:31:24.869 --> 00:31:27.169
He'll have to be sent to an asylum.

00:31:27.169 --> 00:31:33.569
A doctor and nurse flank Blazkowicz as he lies motionless in a hospital bed, with his head covered in bandages.

00:31:34.649 --> 00:31:39.089
Blazkowicz has some consciousness as he's ushered via wheelchair into a room.

00:31:39.089 --> 00:31:40.989
A nurse reacts, saying, He's awake!

00:31:41.709 --> 00:31:49.489
The nurse speaks to the pharmacist, her mother, who tells the doctor, her father, that their daughter has mysterious medical powers.

00:31:49.489 --> 00:31:51.249
Medical powers.

00:31:51.249 --> 00:31:55.409
The young nurse looks into Blazkowicz's eyes as they struggle to stay open.

00:31:55.409 --> 00:31:59.209
Her parents, the doctor and the pharmacist share a kiss.

00:31:59.209 --> 00:32:02.969
The young nurse is a beautiful, pale brunette.

00:32:02.969 --> 00:32:10.729
Blazkowicz fades out and back into consciousness again, seeing Nazi soldiers taking unclaimed asylum patients away as the doctor protests.

00:32:11.549 --> 00:32:21.009
The doctor knows the Nazis are taking his patients as human test subjects and tries to protect them, but is unable to sway the soldiers into leaving these people in his care.

00:32:21.009 --> 00:32:22.829
Yeah, they're fucking Nazis.

00:32:22.829 --> 00:32:27.509
The young nurse comes back to Blazkowicz and tells him, this will be over soon.

00:32:27.509 --> 00:32:31.549
She rolls him over to a window so he can be near the light.

00:32:31.549 --> 00:32:34.369
Blazkowicz watches as the world passes him by.

00:32:34.369 --> 00:32:38.629
He says, it's a strange feeling to be trapped inside his own body.

00:32:38.629 --> 00:32:41.349
He says he blacks out, he loses time.

00:32:41.349 --> 00:32:44.089
Sometimes seasons change in the blink of an eye.

00:32:44.089 --> 00:32:48.249
He sits still while the world moves around him, patients coming in and out.

00:32:48.249 --> 00:32:52.489
He has trouble staying awake and keeping his thoughts straight, but it's getting better.

00:32:52.489 --> 00:32:55.949
He knows he's made it to Poland and is in an insane asylum.

00:32:55.949 --> 00:33:02.949
He looks at the young nurse again, saying, she's the head nurse, her father, the shrink, her mother, the pharmacist.

00:33:02.949 --> 00:33:04.429
They all run the place.

00:33:04.429 --> 00:33:08.889
He sees birthdays, holidays, and Nazis take patients away in shackles.

00:33:09.669 --> 00:33:13.629
He describes it as General Death's Head's personal candy store.

00:33:13.629 --> 00:33:19.829
He says the shrink fights it every time, raises hell, but he's made powerless at the end of the gun.

00:33:19.829 --> 00:33:21.089
Blazkowicz is grateful, though.

00:33:21.089 --> 00:33:27.689
He knows he's alive because of this family, and he's healing, but it's mostly because of her.

00:33:27.689 --> 00:33:30.169
He knows the nurse's name is Anya.

00:33:30.169 --> 00:33:33.969
She hand feeds him soup and tends to him every day.

00:33:33.969 --> 00:33:39.249
One day, as he looks out the window, his room is intruded upon by a fleet of Nazis.

00:33:39.249 --> 00:33:42.769
They command the room, saying this whole place is getting shut down.

00:33:42.769 --> 00:33:45.449
The shrink protests, and the patients begin screaming.

00:33:45.449 --> 00:33:50.469
Anya rushes to help, but the soldiers shoot one of the patients and knock Anya down with a gun.

00:33:50.469 --> 00:33:51.369
Oh, shit.

00:33:51.369 --> 00:33:56.669
Anya tries to get up, and as she does, her mother and father are murdered by a Nazi right in front of her.

00:33:56.669 --> 00:33:58.229
Oh, fucking Nazis.

00:33:58.229 --> 00:34:03.369
The Nazis pick up Anya and drag her away, and begin procedurally killing all of the patients.

00:34:04.289 --> 00:34:09.009
Blazkowicz has honed in and has snagged a knife off of his dinner plate to defend himself.

00:34:09.009 --> 00:34:15.609
As a Nazi goes to execute Blazkowicz, he leaps into action, almost on muscle memory, despite his muscles completely atrophying.

00:34:15.609 --> 00:34:15.909
Right.

00:34:15.909 --> 00:34:18.149
He's been sitting in a fucking chair for ages.

00:34:18.149 --> 00:34:18.889
Ages.

00:34:18.889 --> 00:34:25.069
And stabs the Nazi in the neck, whispering in the man's ear as he dies, Nazi scum.

00:34:25.069 --> 00:34:27.269
Fuck yeah, Blazkowicz is back, baby.

00:34:27.269 --> 00:34:29.829
Blazkowicz says, Anya, where do they take you?

00:34:29.829 --> 00:34:31.529
And bends down to grab the Nazi's gun.

00:34:32.209 --> 00:34:38.029
His head aches as he does, and he says his legs feel like jelly and his fingers are numb.

00:34:38.029 --> 00:34:43.629
Blazkowicz leaves the room for the first time and God knows how long and gets back to what he does best.

00:34:43.629 --> 00:34:45.649
Killing Nazis.

00:34:45.649 --> 00:34:47.949
The entire building is destroyed.

00:34:47.949 --> 00:34:53.729
Walls are painted with blood and gunpowder powered fires are breaking out everywhere.

00:34:53.729 --> 00:34:58.049
He fights his way out and encounters Nazi drones, but makes quick work of them.

00:34:58.049 --> 00:34:58.769
Drones.

00:34:58.789 --> 00:34:59.389
Drones.

00:34:59.729 --> 00:35:00.609
What the fuck?

00:35:00.609 --> 00:35:02.889
The technology is insane all of a sudden.

00:35:02.889 --> 00:35:04.869
Immediately, right?

00:35:04.869 --> 00:35:08.849
Ania is outside, laying in the ground, exhausted from trauma.

00:35:08.849 --> 00:35:12.889
Her nose is bloodied from Nazi abuse, and she is unconscious.

00:35:12.889 --> 00:35:14.589
But she's alive.

00:35:14.589 --> 00:35:17.769
Blazkowicz picks her up and carefully places her in a car.

00:35:17.769 --> 00:35:22.449
Thankfully, the keys are in the ignition, so he drives them away from this fucking slaughterhouse.

00:35:22.449 --> 00:35:25.969
Blazkowicz is still severely brain damaged because scrambled eggs.

00:35:25.969 --> 00:35:27.489
Scrambled fucking eggs.

00:35:27.649 --> 00:35:31.489
And he passes out while driving, which is dangerous as shit, guys.

00:35:31.489 --> 00:35:35.569
When he wakes up, a Nazi soldier is in the middle of the road shooting at the car.

00:35:35.569 --> 00:35:36.489
Jesus Christ.

00:35:36.489 --> 00:35:43.169
The gunfire wakes Blazkowicz and Anya up, and the Nazi jumps into the car with them.

00:35:43.169 --> 00:35:44.189
Jesus.

00:35:44.189 --> 00:35:48.169
It's like a jeep-like car with no top, so he's able to just kind of dive.

00:35:48.169 --> 00:35:54.869
Blazkowicz throws the Nazi in the back seat, kills him, and then tosses the body out while Anya slides over and takes the wheel.

00:35:54.869 --> 00:35:56.549
He's been awake for 30 seconds.

00:35:56.849 --> 00:35:58.969
Yeah.

00:35:58.969 --> 00:36:01.469
In Polish, Anya says, You're a great soldier.

00:36:01.469 --> 00:36:02.369
You can fight.

00:36:02.369 --> 00:36:04.169
Who are you?

00:36:04.169 --> 00:36:06.989
In Polish, he introduces himself as William J.

00:36:06.989 --> 00:36:10.289
Blazkowicz, Ranger, Army, USA.

00:36:10.289 --> 00:36:14.149
Then he switches to English and apologizes because his Polish isn't very good.

00:36:14.149 --> 00:36:17.709
Then he asks, are you fit to drive?

00:36:17.709 --> 00:36:18.609
Clearly, you're not.

00:36:19.189 --> 00:36:22.729
She says she is, and then she asks, where to?

00:36:22.729 --> 00:36:25.449
He simply says, wherever.

00:36:25.449 --> 00:36:26.989
He's not a picky guy.

00:36:26.989 --> 00:36:28.209
He doesn't know what's out here.

00:36:28.209 --> 00:36:31.449
He's never left the fucking asylum, Anya.

00:36:31.449 --> 00:36:35.649
Anya drives them to her grandparents' house, a place she knows is safe.

00:36:35.649 --> 00:36:42.589
Anya, still covered in the blood of her parents and patients runs into her grandparents' arms.

00:36:42.589 --> 00:36:45.729
As Blazkowicz leaves the car, he hears rumbling in the trunk.

00:36:46.569 --> 00:36:51.829
Opening the trunk, he finds a Nazi operative and immediately just punches him the fuck out.

00:36:51.829 --> 00:36:57.049
Blazkowicz joins Anya and her grandparents while he's dragging the unconscious Nazi with him.

00:36:57.049 --> 00:37:04.329
Anya's grandmother cries as she slaps the Nazi across the face, knowing he was in the group that killed Anya's parents.

00:37:04.329 --> 00:37:09.789
Blazkowicz thinks on this saying, They grieve they're dead, such raw sorrow.

00:37:09.789 --> 00:37:12.989
Can't partake, mine would flood oceans.

00:37:12.989 --> 00:37:14.569
It would drown me if I let it out.

00:37:14.829 --> 00:37:16.689
Oh my god.

00:37:16.689 --> 00:37:19.969
Brain damage, give him some slack, okay?

00:37:19.969 --> 00:37:25.169
Inside, Anya tells Blazkowicz, it's 1960.

00:37:25.169 --> 00:37:26.629
What the fuck?

00:37:26.629 --> 00:37:27.769
This bewilders him.

00:37:27.769 --> 00:37:30.309
She says, yeah, it's 1960.

00:37:30.309 --> 00:37:33.449
You stayed with us for 14 years.

00:37:33.469 --> 00:37:35.209
Holy shit.

00:37:35.209 --> 00:37:39.789
Blazkowicz stammers that he has to find a way to contact the US military.

00:37:39.789 --> 00:37:43.009
He has to find his unit and let them know he's alive and he's ready for duty.

00:37:43.869 --> 00:37:46.709
He won't take a day off of work.

00:37:46.709 --> 00:37:47.949
He's taking 14 years off.

00:37:47.949 --> 00:37:49.109
Come on.

00:37:50.349 --> 00:37:52.229
The sabbatical is over, babe.

00:37:52.229 --> 00:37:56.189
Anya's grandfather stops him saying, no, there's no more war.

00:37:56.189 --> 00:37:58.009
Blazkowicz says, no, the war is not over.

00:37:58.009 --> 00:38:00.469
Look at all the Nazis running around.

00:38:00.469 --> 00:38:05.469
Simply and sternly, Anya's grandfather explains, they won.

00:38:05.469 --> 00:38:07.529
Anya's grandmother adds, it's over.

00:38:07.529 --> 00:38:09.429
The Nazis rule the world now.

00:38:09.429 --> 00:38:10.729
They are everywhere.

00:38:11.829 --> 00:38:14.629
Anya tells Blazkowicz, the US surrendered.

00:38:14.629 --> 00:38:19.009
Blazkowicz experiences grief hearing the US has surrendered to the Nazis.

00:38:19.089 --> 00:38:20.489
Ugh, fuck that.

00:38:20.489 --> 00:38:27.149
Anya tells him that the US surrendered 12 years ago after the Nazis dropped atomic bombs on them.

00:38:27.149 --> 00:38:31.389
Blazkowicz says, well, then I'll find the resistance and help them fight.

00:38:31.389 --> 00:38:34.309
Anya's grandmother insists, there is no resistance.

00:38:34.309 --> 00:38:36.189
Everyone has been captured.

00:38:36.189 --> 00:38:38.369
If they live, the Nazis have held them somewhere.

00:38:39.509 --> 00:38:46.489
Blazkowicz doesn't see this as a blocker and goes out into the shed where he left the unconscious Nazi who is now awake.

00:38:46.489 --> 00:38:51.709
I love his confidence that he's like, no, there will absolutely be people resisting this shit still.

00:38:51.709 --> 00:38:54.289
Yeah, and I'm going to find them and I'm going to fucking help them.

00:38:54.289 --> 00:38:55.949
And if there isn't, I'm going to start one.

00:38:55.949 --> 00:38:56.829
Yeah.

00:38:56.829 --> 00:38:59.629
But let me see if there's anything existing so we don't step on each other's toes.

00:38:59.769 --> 00:39:00.729
Right.

00:39:00.729 --> 00:39:07.089
The Nazi screams that he is a direct report of General Death's Head and he must be released right now.

00:39:07.089 --> 00:39:09.929
Blazkowicz is like, oh, I'm definitely going to fucking kill you.

00:39:09.929 --> 00:39:17.369
And he tortures him until the Nazi breaks and tells Blazkowicz the resistance fighters are being held at a prison in Berlin.

00:39:17.369 --> 00:39:20.909
And Blazkowicz uses a chainsaw to end the Nazi.

00:39:20.909 --> 00:39:25.369
So Death's Head was in his 80s in 1940.

00:39:25.369 --> 00:39:25.829
That's right.

00:39:25.829 --> 00:39:29.409
In the beginning of the game, General Death's Head was 86 years old.

00:39:29.649 --> 00:39:30.249
Holy shit.

00:39:30.249 --> 00:39:32.549
It has been 14 years since then.

00:39:32.549 --> 00:39:35.789
General Death's Head is 100 fucking years old.

00:39:35.789 --> 00:39:36.829
What the fuck?

00:39:36.829 --> 00:39:40.269
At 86, we're supposed to stop dealing with you shortly after that.

00:39:40.269 --> 00:39:41.829
Yeah, he's not retired.

00:39:41.829 --> 00:39:43.449
Oh, fuck.

00:39:43.449 --> 00:39:49.369
Down here in the basement, there's a newspaper clipping about a serial killer who has been targeting Nazis.

00:39:49.369 --> 00:39:49.869
Good.

00:39:49.869 --> 00:39:55.449
And it's kind of fun that this is happening, like, during the fucking Nazi overtaking of everything in Poland.

00:39:55.449 --> 00:40:00.109
They're like, yeah, but there's one person out here who's like Batmanning this shit, you know?

00:40:00.109 --> 00:40:00.869
Hell yeah.

00:40:00.869 --> 00:40:01.729
Good.

00:40:01.729 --> 00:40:06.989
Anya's grandfather gets Blazkowicz set up with a nice brown leather coat and calls him a handsome guy.

00:40:06.989 --> 00:40:10.249
Not as handsome as me, but not bad.

00:40:10.249 --> 00:40:15.129
In this moment, amongst men, the grandfather tells Blazkowicz to take care of her.

00:40:15.129 --> 00:40:19.829
We understand each other, or I will find you and hurt you.

00:40:19.829 --> 00:40:20.729
Look at BJ.

00:40:20.729 --> 00:40:22.069
You can't fucking hurt him.

00:40:22.069 --> 00:40:22.549
I know.

00:40:22.549 --> 00:40:24.029
He's the biggest dude.

00:40:24.029 --> 00:40:25.209
He will not die.

00:40:25.789 --> 00:40:30.969
Blazkowicz respectfully confirms, nods, and says clearly, he understands.

00:40:30.969 --> 00:40:35.649
This satisfies Anya's grandfather, and he says, let's go to Berlin.

00:40:35.649 --> 00:40:42.669
Anya's grandparents agreed to drive Anya and Blazkowicz to a train station, so the pair can travel to Berlin to join the resistance.

00:40:42.669 --> 00:40:54.789
Anya is fully committed to joining the resistance and Blazkowicz on this journey, because she just watched the Nazis destroy the country, the world, and then murder her father and patients in front of her in cold blood.

00:40:55.489 --> 00:40:56.709
Sometimes it's all it takes.

00:40:56.709 --> 00:40:59.789
Yeah, and she's like, fuck it, I'm in, let's go.

00:40:59.789 --> 00:41:04.589
The grandparents stuff Anya and Blazkowicz in the trunk of their car to avoid Nazi checkpoints.

00:41:04.589 --> 00:41:12.889
Since Blazkowicz slaughtered a bunch of Nazis at the asylum and he and Anya are on the run, they're bound to be on a list, you know, people are looking for them.

00:41:12.889 --> 00:41:13.769
Definitely.

00:41:13.769 --> 00:41:20.549
As the trunk closes and they are drowned in darkness, Anya's hand finds Blazkowicz hand and she holds him.

00:41:20.549 --> 00:41:25.609
After some time in the dark, the trunk is flung open by a Nazi holding an assault rifle.

00:41:25.609 --> 00:41:29.049
He sees the two stowaways and screams, alarm!

00:41:29.049 --> 00:41:32.729
But then Anya's grandfather shoots his head off with a shotgun.

00:41:32.729 --> 00:41:34.209
Fuck, yeah, he does.

00:41:34.209 --> 00:41:35.289
Go, grandpa.

00:41:35.289 --> 00:41:36.209
We fucking love Anya.

00:41:36.209 --> 00:41:36.929
We love grandpa.

00:41:36.929 --> 00:41:37.769
We love grandma.

00:41:37.769 --> 00:41:39.849
The whole lineage is fucking dope as shit.

00:41:39.849 --> 00:41:41.389
Hell, yeah.

00:41:41.389 --> 00:41:46.769
Grandpa says the road here is not safe and pulls Blazkowicz out of the trunk to clear out the Nazi troops.

00:41:46.769 --> 00:41:50.409
He hands Blazkowicz an assault rifle and says, You kill the Nazis.

00:41:50.409 --> 00:41:52.089
I stay here with the car.

00:41:52.089 --> 00:41:53.929
Kill everyone.

00:41:53.929 --> 00:41:55.149
Yeah.

00:41:55.149 --> 00:41:56.489
I love him so much.

00:41:56.489 --> 00:41:59.929
Like, it also just the succinctness of, I'm going to be with the car.

00:41:59.929 --> 00:42:01.349
You go kill everyone.

00:42:01.349 --> 00:42:02.409
Check in later, OK?

00:42:02.409 --> 00:42:04.509
They all know what he's good for immediately.

00:42:04.509 --> 00:42:05.349
Yeah.

00:42:05.349 --> 00:42:07.349
This checkpoint is crawling with Nazis.

00:42:07.349 --> 00:42:11.289
The Nazis steal hybrid dog things and giant Nazi meds.

00:42:11.289 --> 00:42:15.849
It's a fantastic assault series balancing stealth and all out rampage.

00:42:15.849 --> 00:42:21.689
The game has excellent combat with intuitive controls, and every fight feels good.

00:42:23.309 --> 00:42:26.529
After the firefight, Anja and Blazkowicz are on the train to Berlin.

00:42:26.529 --> 00:42:30.829
The game moves at a breakneck pace, so you can't get attached to anything.

00:42:30.829 --> 00:42:36.309
Blazkowicz is getting coffee from the meal car for both of them while she hides out in their cabin.

00:42:36.309 --> 00:42:42.889
As he's setting up, getting their drinks, two Nazi officials enter the meal car and take a seat at a booth.

00:42:42.889 --> 00:42:46.309
They're accompanied by an armed guard and a full mech soldier.

00:42:47.229 --> 00:42:55.269
Blazkowicz isn't scared, but he does calm himself and reminds himself that he is presenting as just another Nazi asshole taking the night train.

00:42:55.269 --> 00:42:58.969
There's no reason for them to be suspicious of him.

00:42:58.969 --> 00:43:04.129
As he heads back to his cabin, the Nazi pair stop him and ask him to sit down with them.

00:43:04.129 --> 00:43:06.049
There's a man and a woman.

00:43:06.049 --> 00:43:12.669
The woman here is Frau Angle, and she holds his face in her hands and says she likes his Aryan features.

00:43:13.489 --> 00:43:19.009
As she says this, she turns to her male companion, who agrees and says he likes his eyes.

00:43:19.009 --> 00:43:23.309
Frau Angle's companion is the much younger Hans Winkle.

00:43:23.309 --> 00:43:24.449
Winkle.

00:43:24.449 --> 00:43:31.089
Hans is a soft-looking Aryan man who is 28 years younger than Frau Angle.

00:43:31.089 --> 00:43:32.929
Significant age gap.

00:43:32.929 --> 00:43:35.449
Uncomfortably large age gap.

00:43:35.449 --> 00:43:38.469
She calls him Bubby, and they are lovers.

00:43:38.909 --> 00:43:39.969
Oh, God.

00:43:39.989 --> 00:43:42.789
Usually, it's the person her age that's being called Bubby.

00:43:42.789 --> 00:43:45.889
Yeah, because she's a grandma by that time.

00:43:45.889 --> 00:43:48.769
She's 55 years old, and he is 27.

00:43:48.789 --> 00:43:52.369
Oh, he's the worst 27 year old in gaming.

00:43:52.369 --> 00:43:54.149
That's her 27 year old boyfriend.

00:43:54.149 --> 00:43:55.449
I hate it.

00:43:55.449 --> 00:43:58.289
Frau Angle instructs Blazkowicz to sit down.

00:43:58.289 --> 00:44:02.289
She brandishes a gold gun, so he obliges.

00:44:02.289 --> 00:44:09.789
She tells him she wants to do a test on him that is designed to determine if there are traces of impure blood running through a person's veins.

00:44:09.789 --> 00:44:13.229
Oh, fucking Nazis and their tests for purity.

00:44:13.229 --> 00:44:15.089
Bubby is amused by this.

00:44:15.089 --> 00:44:20.029
Frau Angle says if he is as pure as he appears, all is well.

00:44:20.029 --> 00:44:22.949
But if he fails, she will shoot him.

00:44:22.949 --> 00:44:25.069
Bubby lights a cigarette.

00:44:25.069 --> 00:44:28.929
She lays out different photos and tells Blazkowicz to choose between them.

00:44:28.929 --> 00:44:32.849
It's simple, and the photos are like nonspecific things like a mouth or an eye.

00:44:33.869 --> 00:44:44.009
Whatever you choose, Frau Angle goes through three rounds of photos before pointing her gun and saying, if you had not been Aryan, you actually would have gone for the gun.

00:44:44.009 --> 00:44:49.789
Bubby guides her gun down back on the table, and they both start laughing like complete dumbasses.

00:44:49.789 --> 00:44:53.989
Frau Angle admits the photos are just silly vacation photos and war photos.

00:44:53.989 --> 00:44:56.189
The test is meaningless, and she was just fucking with him.

00:44:56.189 --> 00:44:57.289
Oh, this bitch.

00:44:57.289 --> 00:45:00.749
She says, besides, I can spot an impure with my naked eye.

00:45:01.489 --> 00:45:03.789
Again, Blazkowicz is half Jewish.

00:45:03.789 --> 00:45:07.209
Yeah, because there is nothing superior about a fucking Nazi.

00:45:07.209 --> 00:45:07.929
Absolutely nothing.

00:45:07.929 --> 00:45:09.929
They are worse than anyone.

00:45:09.929 --> 00:45:15.769
Frau Angle and Bubby dismiss Blazkowicz, who picks up his coffees and heads back to his cabin with Anya.

00:45:15.769 --> 00:45:19.569
Anya is an anxious little mess when Blazkowicz gets back to the cabin.

00:45:19.569 --> 00:45:24.029
She's hurried to get him behind the closed door, and all the Nazis around are just freaking her out.

00:45:24.029 --> 00:45:26.049
She hates being around them.

00:45:26.049 --> 00:45:29.169
Now, this is exactly how the next sequence goes.

00:45:30.009 --> 00:45:33.249
Anya looks at the two coffees and asks if one is for her.

00:45:33.249 --> 00:45:35.869
Blazkowicz says yes and hands one to her.

00:45:35.869 --> 00:45:39.729
She takes it and she looks at him and says, there is only one bed.

00:45:39.729 --> 00:45:41.109
He says yes.

00:45:41.109 --> 00:45:43.729
She asks if he is comfortable sharing.

00:45:43.729 --> 00:45:49.269
And then the next shot is from the corner of the room where we see her completely naked riding him.

00:45:52.109 --> 00:45:56.549
Hell yeah, BJ., after 14 years, you deserve one.

00:45:56.569 --> 00:45:58.149
Shut up.

00:45:59.549 --> 00:46:05.109
Blazkowicz's voiceover says, sometimes you just need to feel something good.

00:46:07.369 --> 00:46:08.429
It's fucking dork.

00:46:08.429 --> 00:46:09.149
I love it.

00:46:09.149 --> 00:46:16.009
Now, in playing this for my first time, knowing nothing about it, I screamed because it was a jump scare of a sex scene.

00:46:16.009 --> 00:46:18.949
He is literally like, hey, did you grab me a coffee?

00:46:19.109 --> 00:46:21.389
He's like, yeah, she's like, hey, we could only book one bed.

00:46:21.389 --> 00:46:22.929
It was a last minute ticket.

00:46:22.929 --> 00:46:25.169
Are you cool if we share?

00:46:25.169 --> 00:46:26.869
And then they're fucking.

00:46:29.049 --> 00:46:30.429
That's how conversations go.

00:46:30.429 --> 00:46:31.609
Is that how?

00:46:31.609 --> 00:46:32.929
Damn.

00:46:32.929 --> 00:46:40.049
Bram Bloom has discussed the sex scene and has said, Anya and BJ had to do a kissing scene and also a full on love scene.

00:46:40.049 --> 00:46:53.169
It's quite something to see the two actors in the Moleskin with the dots and the two Ram's horns faking a love scene as if we're trying to create a feeling of intimacy, but we're not able to stand next to each other because we need space for the cameras and the microphones.

00:46:53.169 --> 00:46:57.309
So we are mining a love scene in those silly little costumes with the dots on.

00:46:57.309 --> 00:47:02.229
And it's very, very difficult to maintain the thread, let's say.

00:47:02.229 --> 00:47:05.409
There's a lot of laughter and a lot of takes to get that stuff right.

00:47:05.409 --> 00:47:07.449
Oh, my God, this is the most awkward thing I've ever heard.

00:47:08.189 --> 00:47:14.409
Maintain the thread, I think, is like, I need you to pop your hips at the right angle to make sure it looks like it's still going.

00:47:15.069 --> 00:47:18.169
It's like we see her boobies.

00:47:18.169 --> 00:47:18.829
Right.

00:47:18.829 --> 00:47:22.609
Like it's from behind, but like she kind of angles to be like boobies.

00:47:23.849 --> 00:47:24.549
It's a lot.

00:47:24.549 --> 00:47:27.589
It just it felt real out of left pocket.

00:47:27.589 --> 00:47:28.709
I wasn't prepared for that.

00:47:28.709 --> 00:47:30.029
I was like, I'm going to shoot something.

00:47:30.029 --> 00:47:30.729
I'm going to shoot something.

00:47:30.729 --> 00:47:31.749
And then he's about to shoot up in her.

00:47:31.749 --> 00:47:35.069
And I'm like, it's just so 0 to 69.

00:47:35.069 --> 00:47:39.249
I can't, you know, they needed to have like an actual DP from porn.

00:47:39.249 --> 00:47:40.029
Sorry, not DP.

00:47:40.029 --> 00:47:42.469
I meant director of photography, not the other kind.

00:47:42.469 --> 00:47:43.969
It's only single P over here.

00:47:44.209 --> 00:47:50.329
But they needed somebody from porn to come in and be like, no, this is how you're supposed to angle, so that way you can get the best shots and stuff, because it's not going to be fucking comfortable.

00:47:50.329 --> 00:47:51.509
An intimacy coordinator.

00:47:51.509 --> 00:47:53.109
Yeah, an intimacy coordinator.

00:47:53.109 --> 00:47:55.369
Some 19-year-old with a fucking certificate.

00:47:55.369 --> 00:47:56.649
Like, yeah.

00:47:57.949 --> 00:48:06.849
The next morning, Anja brings Blazkowicz to a hotel that overlooks the secret police headquarters that often has transport to the prison they're trying to infiltrate.

00:48:06.849 --> 00:48:14.489
From the hotel balcony, Anja points out the prison transport bus and leaves Blazkowicz to parkour his way down while she distracts the guards.

00:48:14.489 --> 00:48:19.329
Anja does kiss him goodbye and heads off to be a beautiful distraction for all of this.

00:48:19.329 --> 00:48:24.769
Blazkowicz looks out of the concrete monuments in Berlin and says, this much is true about the Nazis.

00:48:24.769 --> 00:48:27.729
They're not lacking in vanity.

00:48:27.729 --> 00:48:32.189
On the way, Blazkowicz gets an iconic weapon, the laser cutter.

00:48:32.189 --> 00:48:36.769
It ends up being super powered through the game and is so much fun throughout.

00:48:36.769 --> 00:48:39.449
It's essential and fantastic to use every time.

00:48:40.129 --> 00:48:44.449
I was not expecting them to have like, this innovative weapon in this game at all.

00:48:44.449 --> 00:48:44.909
Why?

00:48:44.909 --> 00:48:48.349
Why wouldn't you expect innovation out of this perfect fucking game?

00:48:48.349 --> 00:48:49.569
It's a masterpiece.

00:48:49.569 --> 00:48:57.709
You know, I thought it was just going to be a love letter, but not also going out of its way to be also something that is a standout in and of itself.

00:48:57.709 --> 00:48:59.069
Yes.

00:48:59.069 --> 00:48:59.809
I love this.

00:48:59.809 --> 00:49:05.169
And when it's used to cut fencing, the cut truly follows the path the player uses.

00:49:05.169 --> 00:49:07.389
So obviously, I immediately made a dick.

00:49:09.329 --> 00:49:10.869
Satisfying.

00:49:10.869 --> 00:49:20.489
Blazkowicz follows Anya's plan to the letter and ends up riding the roof of a prison transport bus directly into the prison the resistance fighters are being held captive in.

00:49:20.489 --> 00:49:26.829
On the ride, he watches the full city of Berlin under worldwide Nazi control whizz by him.

00:49:26.829 --> 00:49:30.549
It's all steel and concrete as far as the eye can see.

00:49:30.549 --> 00:49:34.349
He wonders if there's anything in this world even worth saving.

00:49:34.349 --> 00:49:40.369
But if there's any chance any of his friends, as any resistance is still standing, he will set them free.

00:49:40.369 --> 00:49:41.569
You're also in Berlin.

00:49:41.569 --> 00:49:44.109
That is just like Nazi central.

00:49:44.109 --> 00:49:45.569
Yeah.

00:49:45.569 --> 00:49:54.589
In the prison, Blazkowicz sneaky-seeks around past Nazis, steel-reinforced dogs and drones until he reaches an isolated tower within the prison.

00:49:54.589 --> 00:49:58.209
It's steel-reinforced and constantly being guarded.

00:49:58.209 --> 00:50:05.509
Inside, five prisoners are kept chained at a kneeling position with their hands behind their backs and masks over their faces.

00:50:06.249 --> 00:50:09.389
Blazkowicz kills the Nazi guard and begins to free the men.

00:50:09.389 --> 00:50:12.689
And as he does, he's reunited with Private Wyatt.

00:50:12.689 --> 00:50:14.149
Holy shit.

00:50:14.149 --> 00:50:21.389
Wyatt takes in Blazkowicz again for the first time in 14 years and says, Gosh, almighty, I thought I was a goner.

00:50:22.829 --> 00:50:25.169
And here you are back from the dead to save us all.

00:50:25.169 --> 00:50:26.569
Imagine that.

00:50:26.569 --> 00:50:29.869
They hug and Wyatt asks what Blazkowicz has been up to.

00:50:29.869 --> 00:50:34.149
And he says, shooting, strangling, stabbing Nazis.

00:50:34.149 --> 00:50:34.609
Hell yeah.

00:50:34.849 --> 00:50:37.769
That's Brian Bloom's favorite line in the entire game.

00:50:37.769 --> 00:50:38.489
And can you blame it?

00:50:38.489 --> 00:50:39.269
It's iconic.

00:50:39.269 --> 00:50:41.509
I mean, it is the thesis of the Wolfenstein series.

00:50:41.509 --> 00:50:44.869
Yeah, it really summarizes the entire franchise.

00:50:44.869 --> 00:50:52.149
In the Fergus timeline, when they reunite, Fergus calls Blazkowicz a jammy bastard and embraces him.

00:50:52.149 --> 00:50:59.949
Wyatt is energized seeing his captain had come for him, and he's super excited to join him in shooting, strangling, and stabbing Nazis.

00:50:59.949 --> 00:51:02.269
One of the prisoners is immediately shot through the head.

00:51:02.669 --> 00:51:07.329
So they close the door, and the remaining resistance members get ready to fuck up some Nazis.

00:51:07.329 --> 00:51:11.749
I just really hope that Wyatt has picked up a few moves in the last 14 years.

00:51:11.749 --> 00:51:15.329
He knows to not reload out in the open.

00:51:15.329 --> 00:51:21.609
Blazkowicz climbs through event with his laser cutter and ambushes the line of Nazis cornering the prisoners in their cell.

00:51:21.609 --> 00:51:25.749
Unfortunately, Wyatt is the only one that ever makes it out of that cell alive.

00:51:25.749 --> 00:51:29.069
But he and Blazkowicz shoot their way through the prison.

00:51:29.069 --> 00:51:34.989
Wyatt's friend is a little quieter than Fergus's, as Fergus is a guns blazing bad mother fucker kind of guy.

00:51:34.989 --> 00:51:44.449
Reuniting with Fergus is a fantastic run, and he has little digs calling Blazkowicz old and lazy, saying things like, would you kindly shoot this Nazi in the face?

00:51:44.449 --> 00:51:46.009
Oh, take a bio shot.

00:51:46.009 --> 00:51:48.049
You lost your fucking mind.

00:51:48.049 --> 00:51:50.069
I did scream when he said that line.

00:51:50.069 --> 00:51:54.749
When you heard him say that line, you really fucking lost it.

00:51:54.749 --> 00:51:56.849
Well, it's so good.

00:51:56.849 --> 00:51:57.569
It's so good.

00:51:57.569 --> 00:51:58.909
It's a perfect fucking game.

00:51:58.909 --> 00:52:02.529
It's a love letter to everything that came before it, and it's the blueprint for everything that's coming next.

00:52:02.529 --> 00:52:03.749
It's perfect.

00:52:05.049 --> 00:52:06.869
Can you tell I like this one?

00:52:08.049 --> 00:52:13.509
In the Fergus timeline, Fergus manages to free a bunch of prisoners and shoot a whole bunch of Nazis.

00:52:13.509 --> 00:52:18.029
Wyatt's is a lot stealthier, but you still get to shoot a whole bunch of Nazis.

00:52:18.029 --> 00:52:23.649
Wyatt is fired up and furious and ready to revolutionize the world and get rid of the fucking Nazis.

00:52:23.649 --> 00:52:29.309
As they make their escape, Wyatt steals and hotwires a car, and they almost immediately crash the car.

00:52:29.329 --> 00:52:29.889
Oh, Jesus.

00:52:30.309 --> 00:52:39.189
As Blazkowicz eyes adjust after driving the car through a window and crashing onto the concrete, through blurred vision, he sees Anya.

00:52:39.189 --> 00:52:42.469
She was waiting for them, ready to get them the fuck out of there.

00:52:42.469 --> 00:52:48.349
She gestures to them that there's a fucking tank coming, and the boys make their way into the sewers through a manhole.

00:52:48.349 --> 00:52:55.869
The sewers appear to be a dead end until Anya lifts a manhole cover a bit farther down and smuggles them out of the underground.

00:52:55.869 --> 00:52:58.149
And manhole covers are very heavy.

00:52:59.629 --> 00:53:02.069
Also, Anya has been a nurse for the last 14 years.

00:53:02.069 --> 00:53:03.749
Where did she pick all these fucking moves up?

00:53:03.749 --> 00:53:07.109
She's just doing like crossfit when she's not nursing.

00:53:07.109 --> 00:53:08.449
Blazkowicz fucking loves her.

00:53:08.449 --> 00:53:09.109
She's buff.

00:53:09.109 --> 00:53:09.709
She's cool.

00:53:09.709 --> 00:53:10.609
She hates Nazis.

00:53:10.609 --> 00:53:11.649
This bitch is amazing.

00:53:11.649 --> 00:53:13.089
I don't blame him.

00:53:13.089 --> 00:53:18.509
They get out and Wyatt hotwires a second car, which he drives out over a bridge.

00:53:18.509 --> 00:53:24.609
Under the fog, when the timing is right and they're in a blind spot, the three leap off of the bridge and into the waterway below.

00:53:25.849 --> 00:53:33.609
Using the city's water filtration system, Wyatt leads Ania Blazkowicz through pipes, saying he's taking them home.

00:53:33.609 --> 00:53:38.889
Wyatt's been in prison for the last three months, but he's still very much involved in the resistance.

00:53:38.889 --> 00:53:42.849
Wyatt comes up on a big yellow metal door and bangs on it.

00:53:42.849 --> 00:53:48.789
The door is answered by a comically large man who says, Max Haas, and picks up Wyatt.

00:53:48.789 --> 00:53:51.709
He holds him and is so excited to see him.

00:53:51.709 --> 00:53:53.849
Max Haas is a man who's had some head trauma.

00:53:54.369 --> 00:53:58.589
There's a big dent in his big head and all he can say is his own name.

00:53:58.589 --> 00:54:00.029
Max Haas.

00:54:00.029 --> 00:54:04.669
He's childlike in nature, but an absolute juggernaut in everything else.

00:54:04.669 --> 00:54:13.429
A smaller, and by smaller, I mean just a normal size man, comes up behind the large guy and says, Max, put him down gently.

00:54:13.429 --> 00:54:19.989
Blazkowicz sees the normal size man has a swastika tattoo and immediately lunges at him to kill.

00:54:19.989 --> 00:54:27.569
As Blazkowicz has this man by the throat and on the ground, Wyatt rushes to say, Hey, no, he used to be a Nazi, but now he's with us.

00:54:27.589 --> 00:54:28.989
Ah, defectors.

00:54:28.989 --> 00:54:31.469
This former Nazi is Klaus.

00:54:31.469 --> 00:54:34.609
Klaus and his wife had tried many times to have a child.

00:54:34.609 --> 00:54:38.149
When they did have a boy, the boy was born with a club foot.

00:54:38.149 --> 00:54:44.769
This was reported to the Nazi authorities and the Nazis came to take the boy away for not being genetically acceptable.

00:54:44.769 --> 00:54:45.909
What the fuck?

00:54:45.909 --> 00:54:51.189
When the wife tried to stop them from taking her baby, the Nazis killed her and the child.

00:54:52.489 --> 00:54:58.569
Klaus deeply regrets his Nazi support and looks forward to getting that tattoo removed or covered up.

00:54:58.569 --> 00:55:04.269
It's good that he switched sides, but I hate when it has to affect him personally to make him switch sides.

00:55:04.269 --> 00:55:05.189
That does suck.

00:55:05.189 --> 00:55:11.969
You're like, at least you have a better worldview, but it sucks what it took to get here.

00:55:11.969 --> 00:55:16.209
After joining the resistance, Klaus has taken on a fatherly role with Max Hoffs.

00:55:17.269 --> 00:55:22.869
Klaus Witts gets off Klaus, just letting him free now, and Anja takes in the fortress.

00:55:22.869 --> 00:55:30.129
She's in shock that here, in the middle of Berlin, there's a full resistance base complete with resistance fighters.

00:55:30.129 --> 00:55:33.809
Klaus explains, this is the last place the Nazis would look for them.

00:55:33.809 --> 00:55:34.809
Okay, I see you.

00:55:34.809 --> 00:55:36.709
Right under their nose.

00:55:36.709 --> 00:55:40.269
A woman in a wheelchair rolls up and says, fuck me.

00:55:40.269 --> 00:55:43.169
This is Carolyn Becker, a returning Wolfenstein character.

00:55:43.169 --> 00:55:44.289
Damn, another one.

00:55:44.289 --> 00:55:51.349
She was shot during World War II and was left paralyzed, but that never hindered her passion for killing Nazis.

00:55:51.349 --> 00:55:53.269
She looks at them and says, BJ.

00:55:53.269 --> 00:55:58.069
Blazkowicz, I should have known only you would be dumb enough to do a daytime entry.

00:56:00.069 --> 00:56:03.389
I fucking love her so much.

00:56:03.389 --> 00:56:08.009
They catch up briefly on their immense physical trauma, and then she says, it's good to see you.

00:56:08.009 --> 00:56:09.769
And she hugs him.

00:56:09.769 --> 00:56:14.409
There's a very grouchy English guy in the corner named Bobby who just wants to sleep and hates everything.

00:56:15.049 --> 00:56:17.229
He's not very chatty.

00:56:17.229 --> 00:56:21.169
Wyatt greets a man who's playing a guitar left handed named Jay.

00:56:21.169 --> 00:56:25.309
Jay is only in the Wyatt timeline, and he is easily one of my favorite characters.

00:56:25.309 --> 00:56:31.309
He's a black guy who wears a bandana around his face, hiding immense scarring across his mouth and jaw.

00:56:31.309 --> 00:56:34.469
He's constantly playing guitar and jamming out with his headphones.

00:56:34.469 --> 00:56:38.189
He's cool as shit, and I love him, and I want to protect him.

00:56:38.189 --> 00:56:41.209
He's really happy to see Wyatt is alive and brought reinforcements.

00:56:42.209 --> 00:56:53.789
In the Fergus timeline, Jay is replaced by a paranoid woman named Tekla, who immediately tells Blazkowicz he was supposed to have been dead in 1946 and gets very annoyed at the new resistance fighters.

00:56:53.789 --> 00:56:58.689
She's constantly annoyed with how much space Blazkowicz takes up, and she calls him an ape.

00:56:58.689 --> 00:57:00.789
Yeah, she's very much kind of like a savant character.

00:57:01.049 --> 00:57:02.329
Yeah.

00:57:02.329 --> 00:57:12.109
Because Anya is bilingual and had studied archaeology at the University of London for her doctorate, Carolyn puts her to work listening on radio waves to gather intelligence.

00:57:12.109 --> 00:57:20.489
Blazkowicz goes around the resistance compound and can access one of the coolest fucking Easter eggs I have ever seen in a game.

00:57:20.489 --> 00:57:26.089
Something so cool, you literally shouted from the other room and made me come look at it.

00:57:26.089 --> 00:57:26.949
It was worth it though, right?

00:57:26.949 --> 00:57:28.049
Oh, absolutely it was.

00:57:28.849 --> 00:57:34.129
Up and off in a deep corner of the resistance base is a stained mattress on the floor.

00:57:34.129 --> 00:57:38.269
The prompt over the mattress simply says, Nightmare.

00:57:38.269 --> 00:57:44.209
Once you trigger Nightmare, the game drops you into the first level of Wolfenstein 3D.

00:57:44.209 --> 00:57:47.229
Oh, it's so fucking amazing.

00:57:47.229 --> 00:57:54.569
It's great too because it's the exact graphics from Wolfenstein 3D, just polished and rendered for the current console, but still very pixelated.

00:57:55.069 --> 00:57:58.889
And your HUD is the actual HUD from Wolfenstein, The New Order.

00:57:58.889 --> 00:58:06.549
So it's this blend of both games as like you've been saying, homage to everything that came before it, but also innovating everything that's to come.

00:58:06.549 --> 00:58:07.909
It really was fucking cool.

00:58:07.909 --> 00:58:12.489
And it was amazing to be able to play it because it's exactly how I remember it, but also in 4K.

00:58:12.489 --> 00:58:13.789
So it's like, oh shit.

00:58:13.789 --> 00:58:14.969
Yeah.

00:58:14.969 --> 00:58:16.129
This is what it felt like.

00:58:16.129 --> 00:58:16.969
It's so cool.

00:58:16.969 --> 00:58:18.269
Yeah, definitely.

00:58:18.269 --> 00:58:22.169
After a stroll down Nightmare memory lane, Carolyn gathers the resistance.

00:58:22.869 --> 00:58:28.309
She explains the Nazis have developed a helicopter that is silent and undetectable by radar.

00:58:28.309 --> 00:58:33.649
There are three prototypes that are currently being held in the London Nautica Research Facility.

00:58:33.649 --> 00:58:40.629
Carolyn wants to go in there, grab them, and start weakening Nazi forces so they can overall kill General Death's head.

00:58:40.629 --> 00:58:42.709
Let's fucking do this.

00:58:42.709 --> 00:58:48.749
Bobby and Blazkowicz drive together from Berlin into London to approach the London Nautica Facility.

00:58:48.749 --> 00:58:55.269
Bobby is callous and quiet, except for when he talks about how London used to be a huge point for the resistance.

00:58:55.269 --> 00:59:00.809
Then the Nazis brought in something called the London Monitor and it leveled everything.

00:59:00.809 --> 00:59:08.029
The Nazis built the London Nautica as a huge research facility, and it's been an absolute monstrosity ever since.

00:59:08.029 --> 00:59:11.209
Bobby points out that Carolyn and the others should be nearby.

00:59:11.209 --> 00:59:15.229
Then Bobby tells Blazkowicz to get out and to make it count.

00:59:15.229 --> 00:59:28.029
Blazkowicz closes the car door, and Bobby drives head first into the gates of the London Nautica with the car and the 300 kilos of explosives hitting the gate all at once.

00:59:28.029 --> 00:59:35.129
Oh, like I wondered why Bobby was such a pain in the ass, and then he did that, and I was just like, oh, he knew he was gonna die soon.

00:59:35.129 --> 00:59:36.729
He was making peace with some shit.

00:59:36.729 --> 00:59:37.769
Yeah.

00:59:37.769 --> 00:59:43.749
The entire entrance collapses, and everything is immediately chaotic.

00:59:43.749 --> 00:59:48.329
The distraction creates enough chaos and distraction for Blazkowicz to begin infiltrating the building.

00:59:49.089 --> 00:59:53.529
Bobby died for this, so we do have to honor his last wish and make it count.

00:59:53.529 --> 00:59:59.029
Carolyn radios in that she and the other pilots are a few blocks away and need the hanger doors open so they can get in.

00:59:59.029 --> 01:00:02.209
So it's all on Blazkowicz to execute the plan from here.

01:00:02.209 --> 01:00:13.629
Naturally, the place is crawling with Nazi tech and massive steel-clad super soldiers, super dogs, fucking mechs, just regular Nazis, fucking big Nazis, little Nazis, every kind of Nazi.

01:00:13.629 --> 01:00:14.569
It fucking sucks.

01:00:15.389 --> 01:00:22.749
There are also some general Death's Tide recordings playing, welcoming young Nazis to this museum he has erected in the name of his own ego.

01:00:22.749 --> 01:00:24.149
Jesus Christ.

01:00:24.149 --> 01:00:27.489
There are some dumbass statues and a massive moon structure.

01:00:27.489 --> 01:00:32.989
It's also low-key a planetarium in the middle of this Nazi circle jerk.

01:00:32.989 --> 01:00:40.529
Deep in the research area of the facility, Blazkowicz finds a lot of ancient artifacts, many of which use Hebrew writing.

01:00:40.529 --> 01:00:45.929
Looks like the Nazis were looking to Jewish minds and biblical advancements for their innovations.

01:00:45.929 --> 01:00:50.809
There's one specific identifying mark, dot-e-shud, which is a Hebrew term.

01:00:50.809 --> 01:00:56.109
The dot-e-shud refers to a Jewish secret society rooted in innovation.

01:00:56.109 --> 01:01:03.609
Anya and Caroline are on comms and figure this is interesting enough to look into and ask Blazkowicz to bring back as much as he can find.

01:01:03.609 --> 01:01:09.489
While he's doing this, he also manages to upgrade his laser cutter to cut through steel doors, and it's fucking awesome.

01:01:09.489 --> 01:01:13.189
Oh, I love this weapon so much and just how much versatility it has.

01:01:13.389 --> 01:01:16.889
Hell, yeah, it's so cool and it evolves a lot throughout the game.

01:01:16.889 --> 01:01:20.369
So it feels good to like invest your time into feeling good with it.

01:01:20.369 --> 01:01:22.589
Yeah, it grows along with you.

01:01:22.589 --> 01:01:28.889
Blazkowicz makes it up to the hangar, which is heavily guarded and makes for yet another fantastic firefight.

01:01:28.889 --> 01:01:34.249
There's multiple mechs and ways of Nazis to slaughter like the vermin that they are.

01:01:34.249 --> 01:01:44.049
After they're all dead at the hands of Blazkowicz, he says to himself, right, Nazi's dead, Nazi robot's dead, broke all your shit, helicopter's secured.

01:01:44.389 --> 01:01:47.349
He's just the coolest fucking American to ever live.

01:01:47.349 --> 01:01:50.909
It seems like he's just kind of like running down a list too.

01:01:50.909 --> 01:01:52.649
He's making his list and checking it twice.

01:01:52.649 --> 01:01:53.829
You know, I love Santa.

01:01:53.829 --> 01:01:56.529
He's like, yeah, I got this.

01:01:56.529 --> 01:02:00.989
Blazkowicz opens up the hangar and Carolyn gives him the heads up they're coming in.

01:02:00.989 --> 01:02:08.769
Just then, the remaining resistance squad of Carolyn, Wyatt and Klaus fly in via hang glider into the hangar, landing gracefully.

01:02:08.769 --> 01:02:10.329
The coolest motherfuckers.

01:02:10.329 --> 01:02:12.909
It's such a great entrance to be like, well, how are they getting in?

01:02:12.909 --> 01:02:15.389
Oh, they're hand gliding in.

01:02:15.389 --> 01:02:15.769
OK.

01:02:15.769 --> 01:02:18.389
They look literally like leaves just kind of like floating down.

01:02:18.389 --> 01:02:20.629
Leaves on the wind.

01:02:20.629 --> 01:02:29.969
Blazkowicz goes over to Carolyn to bring her to a helicopter, and as he swoops her up in his big, beefy arms, she looks at him and says, my hero.

01:02:29.969 --> 01:02:34.889
It's such a sweet moment, especially after she just did a hang glider maneuver all the way in.

01:02:34.889 --> 01:02:36.989
Yeah, she's paralyzed from the waist down.

01:02:36.989 --> 01:02:37.789
She's hand gliding.

01:02:37.789 --> 01:02:39.989
She's so fucking cool.

01:02:39.989 --> 01:02:45.169
The three helicopters begin to ascend with Blazkowicz joining Carolyn in the one she is piloting.

01:02:45.169 --> 01:02:48.429
They talk about how she survived the events of a previous game.

01:02:48.429 --> 01:02:51.349
Blazkowicz says, I'm sorry about your legs.

01:02:51.349 --> 01:02:55.789
The helicopter takes to the sky and Carolyn says, don't be.

01:02:55.789 --> 01:02:57.469
I've learned how to fly.

01:02:57.469 --> 01:02:59.049
Oh.

01:02:59.049 --> 01:03:00.729
I love her.

01:03:00.729 --> 01:03:07.129
Seeing the positive in such a horrible situation to just fuel by her hatred of Nazis is just like, fuck that.

01:03:07.129 --> 01:03:08.749
I don't give a fuck that my legs don't work.

01:03:08.749 --> 01:03:11.429
I will fly up on you, bitch.

01:03:11.429 --> 01:03:15.969
The squad brings the helicopters securely into the resistance hanger and they regroup.

01:03:15.969 --> 01:03:23.109
Carolyn assigns Anya to look into Daeshud and Blazkowicz helps her research after a well-deserved smooch.

01:03:23.109 --> 01:03:31.729
After some investigation, Anya has concluded that the uber concrete being used by the Nazis in fucking everything, Blazkowicz is like, this whole fucking city is all concrete.

01:03:31.769 --> 01:03:33.069
It's disgusting.

01:03:33.069 --> 01:03:36.449
Is rooted in ancient Daeshud technology.

01:03:36.449 --> 01:03:39.769
However, the concrete is beginning to rot and mold.

01:03:39.769 --> 01:03:41.949
The concrete mix is being tampered with.

01:03:41.949 --> 01:03:46.329
It's being tampered with by someone who knows the secrets of the Daeshud.

01:03:46.329 --> 01:03:53.609
Anya has poured over all the documents and records and in three places, she's seen the same name a few times, Set Roth.

01:03:53.609 --> 01:03:57.809
Set Roth is a man who is currently being held in a labor camp in Croatia.

01:03:57.809 --> 01:03:59.569
I thought he was in Final Fantasy VII.

01:04:00.809 --> 01:04:02.069
Lance Bass.

01:04:03.709 --> 01:04:07.369
That labor camp's output just happens to be uber concrete.

01:04:07.369 --> 01:04:14.509
She believes Set Roth has been secretly sabotaging the Nazis' uber concrete using Daeshud science.

01:04:14.509 --> 01:04:18.529
Carolyn loves the idea of finding a man connected to the Daeshud world.

01:04:18.529 --> 01:04:21.429
However, she's concerned because this dude is old as shit.

01:04:21.429 --> 01:04:23.849
There's a chance he's already dead.

01:04:23.849 --> 01:04:30.609
Carolyn figures the best plan of action is to send someone into the labor camp undercover to find him and break him out.

01:04:30.609 --> 01:04:33.089
Someone like Blazkowicz.

01:04:33.089 --> 01:04:34.609
We happen to have a guy.

01:04:34.609 --> 01:04:40.669
In the blink of an eye, Blazkowicz is packed into a prison transport and delivered to a labor camp at a quarry in Croatia.

01:04:40.669 --> 01:04:42.429
Holy shit, just like that.

01:04:42.429 --> 01:04:44.089
Breakneck fucking pace in this game.

01:04:44.089 --> 01:04:44.669
I love it.

01:04:44.669 --> 01:04:45.709
It really is.

01:04:45.709 --> 01:04:48.829
You do not get any moments of breathing room.

01:04:48.829 --> 01:04:50.229
There's no reprieve here.

01:04:50.229 --> 01:04:52.509
Not one bit whatsoever.

01:04:52.509 --> 01:04:58.669
Blazkowicz is head to toe in a prison jumpsuit and keeps his head down as Nazi officials scream on.

01:04:58.669 --> 01:05:06.429
Out of the corner of his eye, he sees one of the screeching voices belongs to a familiar face, Frau Engel.

01:05:06.429 --> 01:05:07.989
That fucking woman.

01:05:07.989 --> 01:05:11.689
She beats prisoners with a stick as they walk by.

01:05:11.689 --> 01:05:17.489
Further in the forced labor intake line, Frau Engel is flanked by her horrible little Bubby boy.

01:05:17.489 --> 01:05:20.729
They both watch on as prisoners march to their assignments.

01:05:20.729 --> 01:05:25.309
Blazkowicz catches Bubby's eyes and Bubby tells Frau Engel, he looks like a good worker.

01:05:25.309 --> 01:05:27.509
This dude's big as fuck.

01:05:27.509 --> 01:05:29.789
She takes one look at him and says, oh, he's too big.

01:05:29.789 --> 01:05:31.949
That's too expensive to feed him.

01:05:31.949 --> 01:05:37.589
She does eventually let Bubby pick Blazkowicz out of the line and he gets assigned to specific labor tasks.

01:05:37.589 --> 01:05:39.049
Bubby's got to type.

01:05:39.049 --> 01:05:40.289
Big.

01:05:40.289 --> 01:05:46.749
Blazkowicz gets shuffled into a room and is forcibly tattooed with a series of numbers along his right arm.

01:05:46.749 --> 01:05:49.329
Oh God, that is the worst.

01:05:49.329 --> 01:05:56.229
As he gets his forced prison tattoo, Blazkowicz reminds himself to stay calm and do his breathing exercises.

01:05:56.229 --> 01:06:00.649
I do those when I'm getting tattooed, but I usually none of them have been against my will.

01:06:00.649 --> 01:06:02.049
It just I fucking hate this.

01:06:02.049 --> 01:06:08.669
It's so horrific and it is something that Nazis did do to people within their concentration camps, was forcibly give them tattoos.

01:06:08.669 --> 01:06:11.369
So unfortunately, they'd be easier to identify as numbers.

01:06:11.369 --> 01:06:12.709
It's fucking disgusting.

01:06:13.109 --> 01:06:14.449
Awful.

01:06:14.449 --> 01:06:19.889
Immediately, Blazkowicz meets a fellow resistance fighter who is holding the line in Africa.

01:06:19.889 --> 01:06:23.869
This is Bombate, and he's so fucking cool.

01:06:23.869 --> 01:06:24.889
Immediately liked this guy.

01:06:24.889 --> 01:06:26.349
I love him, and he's perfect.

01:06:26.349 --> 01:06:27.949
He's a perfect character.

01:06:27.949 --> 01:06:32.029
Blazkowicz and Bombate work together on the concrete mixing floor.

01:06:32.029 --> 01:06:37.609
Bombate has heard of Seth Roth and knows he's been in prison for a really long time.

01:06:37.609 --> 01:06:44.369
Bombate advises Blazkowicz to swap uniforms with another prisoner to get in the correct prison block to find Seth Roth.

01:06:44.369 --> 01:06:50.789
There's a prisoner who got separated from his wife, and luckily, Blazkowicz has the wife's alleged prison block assigned to him.

01:06:50.789 --> 01:06:56.329
So once they swap jumpsuits, the husband is able to look for the wife, and Blazkowicz is able to look for Seth Roth.

01:06:56.329 --> 01:06:57.649
This is a win-win situation.

01:06:57.649 --> 01:06:59.289
Absolutely it is.

01:06:59.289 --> 01:07:05.269
After their shift, Blazkowicz enters the prison yard and finds Seth Roth tending to an injured prisoner.

01:07:05.269 --> 01:07:09.289
Blazkowicz says he's here to rescue him, and Seth Roth laughs in his face.

01:07:10.849 --> 01:07:20.349
Blazkowicz tells him the resistance needs him, and Seth Roth agrees to be rescued and help just as long as Blazkowicz agrees to help shut down this fucking hellhole.

01:07:20.349 --> 01:07:21.889
Yeah, you really should.

01:07:22.169 --> 01:07:24.829
It's what you should do as just a person.

01:07:24.829 --> 01:07:33.949
Seth Roth has been working on a hack device for those massive mechs being used by the Nazis that are patrolling the prison, but he's missing one thing, the power source.

01:07:33.949 --> 01:07:38.389
So Blazkowicz sets off to navigate the prison and get Seth Roth his power source.

01:07:39.169 --> 01:07:47.729
This fetch quest results in Blazkowicz getting stabbed by Nazis and then discarded into a body pile and waking up in an incinerator.

01:07:47.729 --> 01:07:49.949
Jesus Christ, this guy goes through it.

01:07:49.949 --> 01:07:52.649
He has never woken up anywhere happy.

01:07:52.649 --> 01:07:55.049
The one time we see him sleep, it's in nightmare mode.

01:07:55.049 --> 01:07:59.289
Like this man cannot wake up from anything in a calm place.

01:07:59.289 --> 01:08:01.589
It's just it's all wildly fucked up.

01:08:01.589 --> 01:08:06.689
Thankfully, Blazkowicz is able to stab the shit out of a whole bunch of Nazi scum, so it evens out.

01:08:07.389 --> 01:08:12.989
He makes his way to the main hall of Nazis, which is filled with the offices and Nazi officials.

01:08:12.989 --> 01:08:16.349
The battery is deep in the basement and is plugged into a wall.

01:08:16.349 --> 01:08:22.109
As while Blazkowicz goes up to grab it, he's electrocuted because the battery's plugged into the fucking wall, dude.

01:08:22.109 --> 01:08:24.709
And he falls over, half conscious.

01:08:24.709 --> 01:08:32.769
Two officials run up to him, and one soft, stupid voice says, Saboteur, I recognize him from the sorting run.

01:08:32.769 --> 01:08:39.089
A woman's voice chimes in saying, No, Bubby, it was before that, the night train.

01:08:39.089 --> 01:08:45.749
Frau Engel declares, it's immediate execution for this one and his entire prison block as well.

01:08:45.749 --> 01:08:48.529
Wait, the entire prison block, why are they fucking involved?

01:08:48.529 --> 01:08:50.449
She wants to make an example of him.

01:08:50.449 --> 01:08:52.189
Holy shit.

01:08:52.189 --> 01:08:55.869
Bubby asks if he has to watch because he doesn't like the smell.

01:08:55.869 --> 01:08:58.109
She tells Bubby to do as he likes.

01:08:58.109 --> 01:09:00.049
I fuck, Bubby's such a little bitch.

01:09:00.049 --> 01:09:03.369
I don't care that you don't like the smell, you gotta deal with your fucking actions.

01:09:03.469 --> 01:09:05.429
We work in a prison, dude.

01:09:05.429 --> 01:09:08.489
I mean, you shouldn't be killing these people, but if you're going to, you're gonna have to fucking deal with it.

01:09:08.489 --> 01:09:10.389
Yeah, bitch.

01:09:10.389 --> 01:09:15.129
Frau Engel kneels down to Blazkowicz's eyeline and asks, why did you do that?

01:09:15.129 --> 01:09:17.429
She calls him a stupid idiot.

01:09:17.429 --> 01:09:21.849
Then she brings her stick down on Blazkowicz and knocks him out fully.

01:09:21.849 --> 01:09:26.089
When Blazkowicz regains consciousness and wakes up, it's not good, guess what?

01:09:26.089 --> 01:09:29.849
He's tied to a pole outside by a bunch of rocks.

01:09:29.889 --> 01:09:35.969
Jesus, they just put him through every horrific thing the Nazis actually did.

01:09:35.969 --> 01:09:37.209
Just about, yeah.

01:09:37.209 --> 01:09:37.489
Yeah.

01:09:37.489 --> 01:09:39.189
This poor fucking guy.

01:09:39.189 --> 01:09:42.869
Next to him on a pole is Setroth also tied up.

01:09:42.869 --> 01:09:50.169
Frau Engel looks at all the prison blocks captives tied to poles as a Nazi mech gets ready to execute them.

01:09:50.169 --> 01:09:57.929
The mech begins to go prisoner to prisoner, squishing their heads and bodies in its massive mechanical hands just to save bullets.

01:09:57.929 --> 01:09:59.229
At least it's quick.

01:10:00.129 --> 01:10:03.729
Setroth can't look and turns to Blazkowicz asking for the battery.

01:10:03.729 --> 01:10:12.329
Blazkowicz throws the battery over to Setroth, because they didn't take it away from him for some reason, who manages to get his hacking device running immediately.

01:10:12.329 --> 01:10:16.589
Frau Engel is confused as the mech begins to disobey orders.

01:10:16.589 --> 01:10:19.349
She starts hitting the mech with a stick.

01:10:19.349 --> 01:10:24.889
The mech then grabs Frau Engel's face, tearing half her jaw off as she screams.

01:10:24.889 --> 01:10:26.869
Oh, it's so gnarly.

01:10:26.869 --> 01:10:29.729
The Nazi operatives shoot at the mech, but it's no use.

01:10:29.729 --> 01:10:34.969
It gets to work stepping on the Nazis like the bugs and trash that they are.

01:10:34.969 --> 01:10:40.269
The mech releases Frau Engel, who goes straight to Blazkowicz, jaw hanging off of her face.

01:10:40.269 --> 01:10:46.949
She gets so close to him, he can see her tongue moving past where her teeth used to be in her torn open mouth.

01:10:46.949 --> 01:10:49.389
It's like fucking Two-Face in the Dark Knight.

01:10:50.049 --> 01:10:51.669
It's so gnarly.

01:10:51.669 --> 01:10:58.589
She hangs on to Blazkowicz's body and spits out as she says, For your crime, you will die like vermin.

01:10:58.589 --> 01:11:00.129
I will hunt you down.

01:11:00.129 --> 01:11:02.389
At the end of the earth, I will find you.

01:11:02.389 --> 01:11:05.349
Your skin charred and your fats rendered.

01:11:05.349 --> 01:11:07.589
Your kind exterminated.

01:11:07.589 --> 01:11:12.289
In the end, I will feed your flesh to the furnace.

01:11:12.289 --> 01:11:19.269
And that's the end of her threat, because the mech comes up, picks her up off of Blazkowicz, and flings her out into the quarry.

01:11:20.289 --> 01:11:21.429
Fucking good.

01:11:21.429 --> 01:11:22.189
Go to hell.

01:11:22.589 --> 01:11:31.789
Her limp body hits a tree before she's plunged into the rocks below, which really felt like adding insult to injury, which obviously was very well warranted and very funny.

01:11:31.789 --> 01:11:34.829
Oh, she deserves every bit of pain she will ever feel.

01:11:34.829 --> 01:11:39.009
I hope Bubby finds her and is like, Oh shit, my old lady.

01:11:40.629 --> 01:11:46.049
The mech cuts Seth Roth free, who frees Blazkowicz and tells him to take a seat in the mech.

01:11:46.049 --> 01:11:53.969
Seth Roth keeps calling Blazkowicz Shimshon, which roughly translates to little bright sun, which is so cute that he has a pet name for his big, bulky American boy.

01:11:53.969 --> 01:11:55.369
Oh, that's beautiful.

01:11:55.369 --> 01:11:58.729
Seth Roth says, Okay, Shimshon, now we free everyone in the camp.

01:11:58.729 --> 01:11:59.549
Let's go.

01:11:59.549 --> 01:12:00.409
Hell yeah.

01:12:00.409 --> 01:12:09.729
This kicks off a section of gameplay where Blazkowicz gets to drive a mech, which I love, and shoot down tons of Nazis and liberate a labor camp.

01:12:09.729 --> 01:12:11.069
It's fucking awesome.

01:12:11.069 --> 01:12:13.289
And you get to shoot rockets.

01:12:13.289 --> 01:12:14.369
I love shooting rockets.

01:12:14.369 --> 01:12:15.229
At Nazis?

01:12:15.229 --> 01:12:16.729
Yeah.

01:12:16.729 --> 01:12:21.629
Seth Roth directs Blazkowicz to an area where prisoners are able to escape and find a car.

01:12:21.629 --> 01:12:26.869
Blazkowicz defends the outbreak from the Nazis as they get vehicles and work towards safety.

01:12:26.869 --> 01:12:32.089
After the waves of Nazis, Blazkowicz rejoins Seth Roth along with a bunch of survivors.

01:12:32.089 --> 01:12:39.929
As they get ready to leave the camp, fucking Frau Angle and half of her fucking face stands in front of them with an assault rifle in each hand.

01:12:39.929 --> 01:12:41.289
Oh, God.

01:12:41.289 --> 01:12:45.429
Like it was one of those things where I saw her get thrown over the edge of a cliff.

01:12:46.249 --> 01:12:50.289
And I thought, you don't do that to her face and not make her come back later.

01:12:50.289 --> 01:12:53.129
Because like, yeah, her face looked really fucked up.

01:12:53.129 --> 01:12:56.789
It was like, you can't kill her immediately after, but the way she comes back, oh.

01:12:56.789 --> 01:12:57.449
Immediately.

01:12:57.809 --> 01:12:59.849
I was surprised they brought her back so quickly.

01:12:59.849 --> 01:13:02.609
Like, that bitch is still peeling herself off of the rocks.

01:13:02.609 --> 01:13:03.329
What are you doing?

01:13:03.329 --> 01:13:03.989
Yeah.

01:13:03.989 --> 01:13:07.609
She simply says, no one leaves my camp.

01:13:07.609 --> 01:13:13.709
Frau Angle opens fire in the first car, killing survivors as Blazkowicz and Seth Roth's vehicle whips past her.

01:13:14.149 --> 01:13:17.109
Oh, I was immediately furious.

01:13:17.109 --> 01:13:17.769
It sucks.

01:13:17.809 --> 01:13:19.389
You're like, they were so close.

01:13:19.389 --> 01:13:22.529
And then they, oh, this is a hard game sometimes.

01:13:22.529 --> 01:13:26.489
You get really emotionally attached to freedom and getting away from the Nazis.

01:13:26.489 --> 01:13:27.429
There are some moments.

01:13:27.429 --> 01:13:28.889
Absolutely.

01:13:28.889 --> 01:13:31.549
They speed off, leaving that bitch in the dust.

01:13:31.549 --> 01:13:37.389
Seth Roth tells Blazkowicz, I might have underestimated the usefulness of your ape-like physique, Mr.

01:13:37.389 --> 01:13:38.229
Blazkowicz.

01:13:38.249 --> 01:13:40.389
Ape-like.

01:13:40.389 --> 01:13:43.189
Not the only person who thinks that, which is also very funny to me.

01:13:44.449 --> 01:13:48.409
Back at the Berlin base, Seth Roth addresses the resistance, saying that,.

01:13:48.589 --> 01:13:51.589
You should is an ancient mythological society.

01:13:51.589 --> 01:13:54.869
For a millennia, we've operated with the utmost secrecy.

01:13:54.869 --> 01:13:56.109
Until now.

01:13:56.109 --> 01:13:57.349
We invent things.

01:13:57.349 --> 01:13:58.529
The technology developed by.

01:13:58.709 --> 01:14:05.569
You should is centuries ahead of anything you've ever seen or imagined and highly dangerous in the wrong hands.

01:14:05.569 --> 01:14:08.709
The Nazis found the safe keep and stole our secrets.

01:14:08.709 --> 01:14:10.909
They used them to win the war.

01:14:10.909 --> 01:14:15.149
Everything they have accomplished, everything was built upon our knowledge.

01:14:15.149 --> 01:14:16.789
But it wasn't the only safe keep.

01:14:16.789 --> 01:14:20.749
We have hundreds of them hidden in secret places all over the world.

01:14:20.749 --> 01:14:23.769
Some are small and tentative, like the one the Nazis found.

01:14:23.769 --> 01:14:26.889
Others are great halls of knowledge stacked high.

01:14:26.889 --> 01:14:31.169
Magnificent inventions, things that to you will seem like magic.

01:14:31.169 --> 01:14:35.669
Now, I can open the gates to this for you, but getting there is a challenge.

01:14:35.669 --> 01:14:37.609
Carolyn leans in and asks what it will take.

01:14:37.609 --> 01:14:41.849
And Setroth explains that the safe hold is deep in the Atlantic Ocean.

01:14:42.849 --> 01:14:47.109
So they're going to need to steal a Nazi U-boat that's capable of great depths.

01:14:47.109 --> 01:14:48.709
So they discovered Atlantis?

01:14:49.909 --> 01:14:51.969
Yes.

01:14:51.969 --> 01:14:53.669
But like a special kind.

01:14:53.669 --> 01:14:54.669
Jewish Atlantis.

01:14:54.669 --> 01:14:56.009
Jewish Atlantis.

01:14:57.529 --> 01:14:59.229
Carolyn is like, that's fine, though.

01:14:59.229 --> 01:15:00.189
We can get a U-boat.

01:15:00.189 --> 01:15:01.649
That's not a problem.

01:15:01.649 --> 01:15:05.689
Blazkowicz, get Setroth anything he needs to make this happen.

01:15:05.689 --> 01:15:09.789
Which is like, she's very flippantly like, bitch, I can steal a boat.

01:15:09.789 --> 01:15:11.249
I can steal a Nazi sub.

01:15:11.649 --> 01:15:12.949
Baby, you can't skip.

01:15:12.949 --> 01:15:14.549
Like, OK.

01:15:14.569 --> 01:15:16.129
Oh my God.

01:15:16.129 --> 01:15:18.209
I love her enthusiasm.

01:15:18.209 --> 01:15:21.829
The formerly incarcerated prisoners are scattered through the base.

01:15:21.829 --> 01:15:26.549
The man that swapped uniforms with Blazkowicz has indeed reunited with his wife.

01:15:26.549 --> 01:15:30.749
And they hold each other in safety for the first time in a long time.

01:15:30.749 --> 01:15:34.889
Their love deepened by the horrors they've overcome to find each other again.

01:15:34.889 --> 01:15:38.309
Being able to get these two together was so heartwarming.

01:15:38.309 --> 01:15:40.729
It made my heart swell seeing them hold each other.

01:15:43.189 --> 01:15:46.349
There's some that whisper about how Blazkowicz broke them all out.

01:15:46.349 --> 01:15:48.609
They see him as a savior.

01:15:48.609 --> 01:15:54.869
Blazkowicz has to get Seth Roth a welder, and while he's looking for it, he wanders into J's room and sees a guitar.

01:15:54.869 --> 01:15:58.669
J comes in and says, Don't you be touching my baby girl without permission.

01:15:58.669 --> 01:16:00.849
Stick to the guns, soldier man.

01:16:00.849 --> 01:16:03.789
Blazkowicz asks J why he doesn't join the fight.

01:16:03.789 --> 01:16:05.149
J says, What fight?

01:16:05.149 --> 01:16:06.209
Your fight?

01:16:06.209 --> 01:16:10.029
You took orders from the man, the US government man.

01:16:10.029 --> 01:16:11.089
What a trip.

01:16:11.089 --> 01:16:14.969
The war came calling and sent my daddy to war and he did not return.

01:16:14.969 --> 01:16:18.389
The bombs fell on our great cities and the man ran scared.

01:16:18.389 --> 01:16:21.089
Motherfucking gave up, you know?

01:16:21.089 --> 01:16:23.749
Blazkowicz stands, taking all this in.

01:16:23.749 --> 01:16:32.069
J says, Nazis asked them to get down on their knees and the man was all too happy to just hucker up and kiss Nazi ass.

01:16:32.069 --> 01:16:34.629
I had to cross an ocean to get away from that place.

01:16:34.629 --> 01:16:36.509
They would have thrown me in the gas chamber.

01:16:37.529 --> 01:16:40.989
Blazkowicz calmly says, none of that has anything to do with me.

01:16:40.989 --> 01:16:44.249
That's not the America I fought for.

01:16:44.249 --> 01:16:52.609
The camera is tight on J, showing massive scars running from his neck up to his nose under the bandana tied around his face.

01:16:52.609 --> 01:16:54.249
He says, really?

01:16:54.249 --> 01:17:00.569
He describes going to the movies with his mother back in Seattle and being denied service for being black.

01:17:00.569 --> 01:17:02.669
He says, you're a patriot?

01:17:02.669 --> 01:17:09.249
Blue-eyed, jar-head, motherfucking Nazi killer that you are, and you're still a fucking puppet to the man.

01:17:09.249 --> 01:17:10.789
You don't get it, do you?

01:17:10.789 --> 01:17:13.389
Before all this, before the Nazis?

01:17:13.389 --> 01:17:16.629
Back home, you were the Nazis.

01:17:16.629 --> 01:17:21.109
Blazkowicz has had it and grabs J by the throat, pushing him up against a wall.

01:17:21.109 --> 01:17:24.009
He says, be careful what you call me.

01:17:24.009 --> 01:17:25.289
J isn't scared.

01:17:25.289 --> 01:17:29.329
He looks at him and says, violence, language of the man.

01:17:29.329 --> 01:17:31.769
God damn, I'm fucking loving this guy.

01:17:31.769 --> 01:17:33.229
Doing the Fergus run, I did not get him.

01:17:33.329 --> 01:17:35.729
I got Tekla, who's a little bit batty.

01:17:35.729 --> 01:17:37.849
J is fucking amazing.

01:17:37.849 --> 01:17:39.989
J says, can't you see?

01:17:39.989 --> 01:17:42.649
We're all just brothers and sisters now.

01:17:42.649 --> 01:17:45.889
Blazkowicz lets go of J and starts to walk away.

01:17:45.889 --> 01:17:51.269
J calls back to him saying, hey, soldier man, you play?

01:17:51.269 --> 01:17:56.489
In a flash, Blazkowicz is strumming a guitar, singing, Buffalo girls, won't you come around a night?

01:17:57.409 --> 01:17:58.729
What the fuck?

01:18:00.669 --> 01:18:01.949
It's a real song.

01:18:01.949 --> 01:18:03.949
It is, but that was not what I was expecting.

01:18:03.949 --> 01:18:05.149
That's hilarious.

01:18:07.209 --> 01:18:13.649
J tells him to open his mouth and takes a dropper of acid, dripping it down Blazkowicz's throat.

01:18:13.649 --> 01:18:14.849
Whoa.

01:18:14.849 --> 01:18:20.769
Blazkowicz asks what it is, and J silently puts his headphones around Blazkowicz's big jar head.

01:18:20.769 --> 01:18:25.329
J starts tearing ass on his electric guitar, strumming psychedelic funk rock.

01:18:25.949 --> 01:18:32.829
Blazkowicz has his brain blown wide open, as most Americans do the first time they hear Jimi Hendrix.

01:18:32.829 --> 01:18:34.049
Oh, shit.

01:18:34.049 --> 01:18:37.189
This was Jimi Hendrix in another fucking reality?

01:18:37.189 --> 01:18:42.469
He thinks, In that moment, I glimpsed what a free mind could accomplish.

01:18:42.529 --> 01:18:44.369
Oh, fuck.

01:18:44.369 --> 01:18:51.869
J rips on his guitar with rainbows glowing from his body as Blazkowicz travels through a world he didn't know could exist.

01:18:52.629 --> 01:18:56.309
He says, I was on a ride no one else had taken.

01:18:56.309 --> 01:19:00.469
And in that moment, I was at the feet of a god.

01:19:00.469 --> 01:19:01.489
Holy shit.

01:19:01.489 --> 01:19:04.049
That's a fucking trip and a half, actually.

01:19:04.049 --> 01:19:05.449
It's definitely at least a trip.

01:19:05.449 --> 01:19:06.709
Yeah.

01:19:06.709 --> 01:19:11.929
After the boys have bonded over drugs and rock and roll, Blazkowicz goes back to Set Roth.

01:19:11.929 --> 01:19:17.249
J has moved on to helping Wyatt, where Wyatt tells J that he's something of a musician himself.

01:19:18.469 --> 01:19:22.509
I'm going to ask you right now, why do you think Wyatt considers himself a musician?

01:19:22.509 --> 01:19:24.629
I bet he plays a mean spoon.

01:19:26.809 --> 01:19:28.489
I didn't think you'd say spoon.

01:19:28.489 --> 01:19:32.709
Well, Wyatt played clarinet in the marching band at Harvard.

01:19:32.729 --> 01:19:33.289
Okay.

01:19:33.289 --> 01:19:34.909
I'm actually not surprised by that either.

01:19:34.909 --> 01:19:36.769
He's a clarinet boy.

01:19:36.769 --> 01:19:37.669
I love him.

01:19:37.669 --> 01:19:40.969
Oh, and he went to Harvard, which means he was likely a nepo baby.

01:19:40.989 --> 01:19:41.629
Yeah.

01:19:41.669 --> 01:19:43.009
Oh, God, Wyatt.

01:19:43.009 --> 01:19:45.289
I have never liked Wyatt from the minute I met him.

01:19:45.329 --> 01:19:46.789
He comes from money.

01:19:46.789 --> 01:19:49.569
He got in on his clarinet scholarship, maybe.

01:19:49.569 --> 01:19:53.349
Meanwhile, Fergus grew up on the mean streets of fucking Scotland.

01:19:55.369 --> 01:20:02.389
Blazkowicz gets Seth Roth a welder so he can make adjustments to some diving equipment for Blazkowicz to use to steal the U-boat.

01:20:02.389 --> 01:20:09.449
Anya asked Blazkowicz if he has a moment to spare, and then we see photos on the wall clanking against the concrete.

01:20:09.449 --> 01:20:16.749
Klaus asked Caroline where Blazkowicz is, and she points to a room where Anya's performative moans can be heard.

01:20:16.749 --> 01:20:18.629
Performative moans.

01:20:18.629 --> 01:20:21.369
Klaus says, again with this shit?

01:20:21.369 --> 01:20:23.749
Well, we had the drugs and rock and roll, we just needed the sex.

01:20:23.749 --> 01:20:25.689
There you go, baby.

01:20:25.689 --> 01:20:31.229
The walls shake with pelvic rhythm, and a framed photo falls off and hits the floor.

01:20:32.269 --> 01:20:36.009
Klaus says, what's wrong with these people?

01:20:37.229 --> 01:20:42.189
Inside, Blazkowicz is pumping away at Anya, both of whom still have their shirts on.

01:20:42.809 --> 01:20:48.529
Blazkowicz stops halfway to tell her, I want this with you, like this, always.

01:20:48.529 --> 01:20:51.769
She nods and says, it will happen, William.

01:20:51.769 --> 01:21:00.469
Annoyed, Klaus starts banging on the door like Blazkowicz was banging on Anya and screams, finish up your dirty laundry, we're leaving.

01:21:02.349 --> 01:21:04.229
We have to steal a boat.

01:21:04.229 --> 01:21:06.249
Oh, they need their own place really badly.

01:21:06.249 --> 01:21:08.069
They really do.

01:21:08.069 --> 01:21:11.389
This co-op shit is not working out for how much they want to fuck each other.

01:21:13.089 --> 01:21:18.929
Blazkowicz has dropped off in the Berlin sewers with a tunnel glider that is typically used for sewer maintenance.

01:21:18.929 --> 01:21:27.769
Setroth's impeccable engineering skills have got it to working order and Blazkowicz is going to use it to navigate underwater and get in to steal the U-boat.

01:21:27.769 --> 01:21:31.089
Blazkowicz's comms work underwater some fucking how.

01:21:31.089 --> 01:21:33.809
So Anya talks to him through the tunnels.

01:21:33.809 --> 01:21:40.429
While Blazkowicz cruises through the sewers of Germany, Anya mentions that her grandparents gave her a diary that belonged to her cousin Ramona.

01:21:41.249 --> 01:21:45.349
Blazkowicz can listen to Anya reading out entries when he has the time.

01:21:45.349 --> 01:21:49.109
We're gonna dry off for a moment and discuss the lore around the diary.

01:21:49.109 --> 01:21:53.109
The diary starts with the girl coming home during Nazi occupation.

01:21:53.109 --> 01:21:59.189
She discovers the Nazis have executed her former lover, the boyfriend who taught her to kiss with tongue.

01:21:59.189 --> 01:22:01.489
So she resolves to kill the Nazis.

01:22:01.489 --> 01:22:02.749
Damn right.

01:22:02.749 --> 01:22:08.689
During the day, she works at an asylum, but in the evening, she goes downtown under the guise of volunteering for the Nazi party.

01:22:09.629 --> 01:22:12.629
She describes putting cyanide in their food.

01:22:12.629 --> 01:22:13.489
Fuck yeah.

01:22:13.489 --> 01:22:18.529
She describes luring one out to the woods to kiss him before killing him with a knife.

01:22:18.529 --> 01:22:23.669
She describes throwing grenades into the police station, which is full of Nazis.

01:22:23.669 --> 01:22:25.069
Here's a fun one.

01:22:25.069 --> 01:22:27.449
July 4th, 1943.

01:22:27.449 --> 01:22:30.169
The Nazi appears to be made of bacon.

01:22:30.169 --> 01:22:34.569
I learned this as nine of them burned alive inside a late night establishment.

01:22:34.569 --> 01:22:37.289
A lot can be accomplished with padlocks and gasoline.

01:22:38.569 --> 01:22:40.969
Father could smell the gasoline on my coat.

01:22:40.969 --> 01:22:42.049
I lied to him.

01:22:42.049 --> 01:22:43.749
He mustn't know what I've done.

01:22:43.749 --> 01:22:45.849
He's too sensitive.

01:22:45.849 --> 01:22:52.989
This and many other entries align with the newspaper clipping at Anya's grandparents' home about the serial killer targeting Nazis.

01:22:52.989 --> 01:22:54.389
Oh my God.

01:22:54.389 --> 01:22:55.629
Hell yeah.

01:22:55.629 --> 01:22:59.989
A later entry reads, September 23rd, 1946.

01:22:59.989 --> 01:23:02.729
A man came in today, horrible head trauma.

01:23:02.729 --> 01:23:04.509
He has scars all over him.

01:23:04.509 --> 01:23:05.709
He won't speak.

01:23:05.709 --> 01:23:06.769
No one knows where he's from.

01:23:07.329 --> 01:23:09.689
I think he's a soldier, but not a Nazi.

01:23:09.689 --> 01:23:11.209
I wish he could talk to me.

01:23:11.209 --> 01:23:12.949
He has a strength about him.

01:23:12.949 --> 01:23:14.229
Oh my gosh.

01:23:14.229 --> 01:23:18.829
With the last entry, Anya adds, That was the last entry, William.

01:23:18.829 --> 01:23:21.969
Some of the things in this diary happened a long time ago.

01:23:21.969 --> 01:23:24.329
And some of them may have happened to me.

01:23:24.329 --> 01:23:25.529
I miss you.

01:23:25.529 --> 01:23:28.709
I missed you a long time before I met you.

01:23:28.709 --> 01:23:32.689
There is no cousin Ramona, and if there was, she didn't write this diary.

01:23:32.689 --> 01:23:38.589
On the cover of the diary, there's an inscription in Polish that translates to, belongs to Anya.

01:23:38.589 --> 01:23:40.769
Get the fuck out of here.

01:23:40.769 --> 01:23:43.249
I didn't go through these at all.

01:23:43.249 --> 01:23:45.249
I know, your eyes are real wide right now.

01:23:45.249 --> 01:23:46.529
What the shit?

01:23:46.529 --> 01:23:51.829
Cause like, as you're playing the game, you keep getting these Ramona diaries, and you can't play them in game.

01:23:51.829 --> 01:23:52.429
Right.

01:23:52.429 --> 01:23:56.509
You have to physically exit the game, go to the main menu and listen to these.

01:23:56.509 --> 01:23:57.349
Yeah.

01:23:57.349 --> 01:23:59.989
Honestly, I expect it to be like an Anne Frank situation.

01:23:59.989 --> 01:24:02.489
Like, here's what life under occupation is like.

01:24:02.489 --> 01:24:07.449
Yeah, but this, I was not expecting at all, and for it to be Anya.

01:24:07.449 --> 01:24:08.449
Holy shit.

01:24:08.449 --> 01:24:11.829
She is a murder machine, and I love her.

01:24:11.829 --> 01:24:19.169
Anya was a Nazi killing machine for years, killing dozens of Nazis, beginning from when she was around 17 years old.

01:24:19.169 --> 01:24:22.529
And using sex to fucking do it is amazing.

01:24:22.529 --> 01:24:22.949
Yeah.

01:24:22.949 --> 01:24:29.129
In secret, she's murdered so many Nazis and has wanted to tell Blazkowicz, but didn't know how to tell him.

01:24:29.129 --> 01:24:38.469
I think part of her was scared he would view her differently, knowing she was a murderer, because, you know, it can dampen some things in a relationship, but it's not a bad thing to kill Nazis.

01:24:38.469 --> 01:24:40.569
It's literally just taking out the trash.

01:24:40.569 --> 01:24:41.889
Oh, my gosh.

01:24:41.889 --> 01:24:44.329
Who do you think has the higher body count?

01:24:44.329 --> 01:24:44.609
Blazkowicz.

01:24:44.609 --> 01:24:46.429
And I don't mean sex.

01:24:49.149 --> 01:24:52.629
Well, they're pretty committed to each other at this point.

01:24:52.629 --> 01:24:58.009
But I mean, she consistently has been killing people in tandem with him just out in Poland.

01:24:58.909 --> 01:25:00.069
Wow.

01:25:00.069 --> 01:25:01.189
Good for her.

01:25:01.189 --> 01:25:02.309
Fuck yeah, Anya.

01:25:02.309 --> 01:25:04.909
You're way cooler than I ever gave you credit for.

01:25:04.909 --> 01:25:07.249
And I thought you were pretty fucking cool to begin with.

01:25:07.249 --> 01:25:08.789
Baby, she has a Ph.D.

01:25:08.789 --> 01:25:09.669
in archaeology.

01:25:09.669 --> 01:25:10.969
She's multilingual.

01:25:10.969 --> 01:25:11.949
She's gorgeous.

01:25:11.949 --> 01:25:14.289
She can lift a manhole cover alone.

01:25:14.289 --> 01:25:15.629
She's a trained nurse.

01:25:15.629 --> 01:25:18.989
And she's been killing Nazis since she was a teenager.

01:25:18.989 --> 01:25:20.389
I was going to say, she's got a Ph.D.

01:25:20.389 --> 01:25:21.669
in killing Nazis.

01:25:21.669 --> 01:25:22.269
Yup.

01:25:22.269 --> 01:25:23.689
Oh, my God.

01:25:23.689 --> 01:25:25.229
She is the perfect partner.

01:25:25.229 --> 01:25:26.069
And I love her.

01:25:26.069 --> 01:25:27.489
Do you love her more now knowing that?

01:25:27.689 --> 01:25:30.689
Like I said, way more.

01:25:30.689 --> 01:25:33.989
Blazkowicz breaches the surface just below the catacombs.

01:25:33.989 --> 01:25:37.889
Anya directs him to an elevator to take him up to the weapons depot.

01:25:37.889 --> 01:25:43.389
Carolyn is pleased Blazkowicz has made it this far and directs him to steal a cargo train.

01:25:43.389 --> 01:25:48.409
There's a train packed full of ammunition that the team will need, including a torpedo.

01:25:48.409 --> 01:25:54.189
Using the torpedo, they'll be able to sneak onto the U-boat, so they need to steal the train to steal the U-boat.

01:25:54.189 --> 01:25:55.309
Everybody loves a train job.

01:25:55.929 --> 01:25:58.629
There's always a god damn train.

01:25:58.629 --> 01:26:05.309
Also, the Nazi weapons won't hurt the resistance's odds of winning the war, so you might as well pick some shit up while you're out.

01:26:05.309 --> 01:26:07.229
Stealing the train sucks.

01:26:07.229 --> 01:26:15.829
It's waves and waves of Nazis, Nazi dogs, Nazi super soldiers, Nazi mechs, just so much in one battle arena back to back to back.

01:26:15.829 --> 01:26:19.489
It's a kick in the nuts, but it's really satisfying when you nail it.

01:26:19.489 --> 01:26:21.109
I do love it.

01:26:21.109 --> 01:26:23.849
Blazkowicz steals the train and meets back up with the resistance.

01:26:24.449 --> 01:26:30.489
Klaus explains that the train Blazkowicz stole supplies all the torpedoes to all the Nazi U-boats in Europe.

01:26:30.489 --> 01:26:38.189
The plan is to have Blazkowicz's big ass hide in a torpedo and bust out after he's made it onto a U-boat and then steal the U-boat.

01:26:38.189 --> 01:26:43.609
With the U-boat, they can get to Setroth's secret hideaway and bang, bang, soda pop, we keep going.

01:26:43.609 --> 01:26:45.549
It's a Trojan U-boat.

01:26:45.549 --> 01:26:51.129
Wyatt has the wherewithal to drill air holes in the Trojan torpedo, which is very thoughtful.

01:26:51.129 --> 01:26:57.109
They load Blazkowicz into the torpedo and he drifts off into the darkness until he's at sea.

01:26:57.109 --> 01:27:00.269
After a while, he wakes up and sneaks out of the torpedo.

01:27:00.269 --> 01:27:08.449
Naturally, the whole-ass U-boat is crawling with Nazis, so Blazkowicz sends them to a fitting death for the scum that they are.

01:27:08.449 --> 01:27:14.809
The ship goes into full lockdown, but Blazkowicz kills every single Nazi bastard in the boat.

01:27:14.809 --> 01:27:19.269
Blazkowicz takes over the comms on the U-boat so the resistance can find him and the boat.

01:27:19.269 --> 01:27:26.729
When the team reconnects, they tell Blazkowicz he stole the boat called the Eva's Hammer, which is very funny.

01:27:26.729 --> 01:27:30.009
The mightiest U-boat in the whole fucking Nazi fleet.

01:27:30.009 --> 01:27:34.249
Also, this boat is equipped with a nuclear cannon.

01:27:34.249 --> 01:27:35.709
Shit, yeah.

01:27:35.709 --> 01:27:40.569
Unfortunately, the resistance doesn't have the decryption keys for the nuclear cannon.

01:27:40.569 --> 01:27:47.649
Even more unfortunately, the decryption keys for the nuclear cannons aren't available anywhere on planet Earth.

01:27:47.649 --> 01:27:49.029
What do you mean nowhere on Earth?

01:27:49.349 --> 01:27:52.709
They're exclusively stored at the Nazi lunar base.

01:27:52.709 --> 01:27:56.849
I'm sorry, there is a base on the moon now.

01:27:56.849 --> 01:28:01.989
They really, without regulations, were able to get a lot more done than we were in the real world.

01:28:01.989 --> 01:28:02.569
Holy shit.

01:28:02.569 --> 01:28:05.189
Girl, it was crazy.

01:28:05.229 --> 01:28:17.749
U-boat captains have to learn the decryption keys by heart, and Blazkowicz obviously killed the shit out of everyone on the U-boat, so there's no one on Earth that knows the codes to the EVA's hammer anymore.

01:28:19.309 --> 01:28:20.869
You know why EVA's hammer is funny, right?

01:28:20.869 --> 01:28:21.709
Why is that funny?

01:28:21.709 --> 01:28:24.109
EVA was the name of Adolf Hitler's girlfriend.

01:28:24.109 --> 01:28:25.609
Oh, Eva Braun's right.

01:28:25.769 --> 01:28:26.889
Oh, shit.

01:28:26.889 --> 01:28:34.089
Eva Braun famously partnered Adolf Hitler, so this is like his baby girl's boat with the Nazi fucking nuclear cannons and shit.

01:28:34.089 --> 01:28:36.229
Of course he named it after her.

01:28:36.229 --> 01:28:41.549
They really need those decryption keys to blast death heads compound and all the Nazis there to death.

01:28:41.549 --> 01:28:46.809
So Blazkowicz very heroically volunteers saying, I'll go to the moon.

01:28:46.809 --> 01:28:48.289
I've never been.

01:28:51.069 --> 01:28:52.689
He's the perfect man.

01:28:52.689 --> 01:28:53.889
I've never been.

01:28:53.889 --> 01:28:56.669
I like that he's probably just like, well, you know, it is the future.

01:28:56.669 --> 01:28:58.889
Maybe everybody goes to the fucking moon.

01:29:00.889 --> 01:29:01.829
Is this normal?

01:29:01.829 --> 01:29:02.769
Yeah, I'll go.

01:29:02.769 --> 01:29:03.749
I haven't been there yet.

01:29:03.749 --> 01:29:04.669
Have you guys already been?

01:29:04.669 --> 01:29:05.109
I haven't.

01:29:06.189 --> 01:29:08.049
I'm 14 years behind all of you.

01:29:08.049 --> 01:29:10.929
Sorry.

01:29:10.929 --> 01:29:20.289
After the U-boat is in resistance control, Blazkowicz, Setroth and Wyatt go down to the depths of the Atlantic Ocean in search of the Daeshud Stronghold.

01:29:20.289 --> 01:29:28.329
Setroth uncovers a secret underground and underwater stronghold hidden behind coral reef at the bottom of the ocean.

01:29:28.329 --> 01:29:32.669
He says that this specific entryway hasn't been used in centuries.

01:29:32.669 --> 01:29:33.469
Centuries?

01:29:33.469 --> 01:29:33.689
Yeah.

01:29:36.209 --> 01:29:45.549
The three men enter a rapture-like entrance, so take a bioshot because they are in a clear glass tube showcasing the ocean floor all around them.

01:29:45.549 --> 01:29:46.429
Oh, damn.

01:29:46.429 --> 01:29:53.889
They enter the main hall, an absolute fortress of solitude, with a gorgeous mechanical puzzle Blazkowicz solves for the group.

01:29:53.889 --> 01:30:00.349
Using magnets, Blazkowicz opens up a secret staircase that leads to a secret vault of knowledge.

01:30:00.349 --> 01:30:05.549
The secret vault is all gold with floating objects and mysterious symbols on the wall.

01:30:05.549 --> 01:30:09.549
Setroth reminds them they're in a sacred place, so don't be a dick.

01:30:09.549 --> 01:30:13.489
They find lots of useful things, including a full power suit.

01:30:13.489 --> 01:30:16.489
Wyatt tries it on and is like, this is fucking cool.

01:30:16.489 --> 01:30:23.329
And Blazkowicz is like, no, that's going directly to Carolyn, knowing that suit will empower her to be able to walk again.

01:30:23.329 --> 01:30:25.729
Oh, God, that's amazing.

01:30:25.729 --> 01:30:33.489
Carolyn and Anya call, saying they've discovered a chief research scientist who's leaving for the lunar base tonight and will be on a train in Gibraltar.

01:30:33.489 --> 01:30:41.509
So they figure, take his ass out, have Blazkowicz replace him, and sneak on board a lunar transport to get the decryption keys.

01:30:41.509 --> 01:30:43.389
I'll just pose as a cosmonaut.

01:30:43.389 --> 01:30:46.149
Yeah, he's big and blonde and has blue eyes.

01:30:46.149 --> 01:30:48.369
You basically could assimilate, you know?

01:30:48.369 --> 01:30:48.789
Yeah.

01:30:48.789 --> 01:30:50.489
You're an Aryan passing.

01:30:51.889 --> 01:30:57.129
Setroth finds a huge pokey ball, the spindly torque they can use to stop the train.

01:30:57.129 --> 01:31:00.229
Take out the research scientist, swap him with Blazkowicz, get to the moon.

01:31:00.609 --> 01:31:01.529
Bing, bam, boom.

01:31:01.529 --> 01:31:03.049
Very successful ocean trip.

01:31:03.049 --> 01:31:06.929
This is one of the most incredible devices I've ever seen committed to a video game.

01:31:06.929 --> 01:31:07.869
It's so sick.

01:31:07.869 --> 01:31:09.889
I'm really excited to get there.

01:31:09.889 --> 01:31:16.789
Once dry, Blazkowicz is in a helicopter on his way to stop the train with the chief research scientist so he can sneak on to the moon.

01:31:16.789 --> 01:31:18.889
I fucking love this game.

01:31:20.189 --> 01:31:23.409
The things you say sound ridiculous, but yep, we're just going with it.

01:31:23.409 --> 01:31:25.389
But playing, I am seated.

01:31:25.389 --> 01:31:26.629
I am fully locked in.

01:31:26.629 --> 01:31:28.329
I'm like, yeah, let's get them.

01:31:28.329 --> 01:31:29.129
I'm buying in.

01:31:29.309 --> 01:31:31.969
We're going to Africa right now.

01:31:31.969 --> 01:31:39.629
As the train begins to cross a bridge, Blazkowicz deploys the spindly torque, and it absolutely decimates the bridge.

01:31:39.629 --> 01:31:49.089
As it launches, it shoots out grappling hooks all out of the ball, and then the ball spins, pulling them out in a tornado, destroying everything around it.

01:31:49.089 --> 01:31:50.469
It's beautiful.

01:31:50.469 --> 01:31:52.649
Incredible, incredible device.

01:31:52.649 --> 01:31:59.749
The chief research scientist was confirmed to be in a specific train car, which is now hanging off of the bridge, dangling over the water below.

01:31:59.749 --> 01:32:01.269
Great start.

01:32:01.269 --> 01:32:09.189
Blazkowicz has a massive firefight navigating an actively collapsing bridge, piled sky high with heavily armed Nazis.

01:32:09.189 --> 01:32:14.389
Thankfully, with sky control, Wyatt keeps his eyes on his captain and helps out when he can.

01:32:14.389 --> 01:32:19.609
You know, by doing things like decapitating a heavily armed Nazi with the helicopter blades.

01:32:19.609 --> 01:32:21.369
Oh, it is so fucking cool.

01:32:21.449 --> 01:32:23.409
It's so fucking cool.

01:32:23.409 --> 01:32:30.969
Blazkowicz makes it to the chief research scientist who has been dead since the train crashed, making it easy, and grabs all his credentials.

01:32:30.969 --> 01:32:38.689
The team hauls ass back to London from Gibraltar to get Blazkowicz on the lunar shuttle leaving out of the London Nautica site.

01:32:38.689 --> 01:32:45.449
The distance between Gibraltar to London is about 1500 miles or around 2400 kilometers.

01:32:45.449 --> 01:32:47.969
He gets there in time for that night's moon launch.

01:32:51.169 --> 01:32:56.269
Honestly, with the technology we're at, maybe they have teleport technology now.

01:32:56.269 --> 01:32:59.109
Ask that Roth to set some shit up, like, come on, man.

01:32:59.109 --> 01:33:00.149
You do some cool shit.

01:33:00.149 --> 01:33:01.069
You are an innovator.

01:33:01.069 --> 01:33:01.989
Get me over there.

01:33:01.989 --> 01:33:03.449
Every plane is the Concorde.

01:33:03.449 --> 01:33:04.549
Yeah.

01:33:04.549 --> 01:33:12.149
Blazkowicz puts on the sharp white scientist suit, gets a haircut and a fresh shave, and packs his laser cutter in his carry-on.

01:33:12.149 --> 01:33:18.389
Then, as soon as the plan had come together, Blazkowicz is boarding a shuttle to the moon.

01:33:18.389 --> 01:33:19.729
Hell yeah, you are.

01:33:19.729 --> 01:33:25.869
The moon shuttle looks like a small passenger jet and has those over-the-shoulder braces like on a roller coaster.

01:33:25.869 --> 01:33:27.549
Everyone is over it.

01:33:27.549 --> 01:33:33.009
No one here is amused by the novelty of going to the goddamn moon.

01:33:33.009 --> 01:33:34.089
Yeah, it's normal now.

01:33:34.089 --> 01:33:36.529
It's wild to me.

01:33:36.529 --> 01:33:41.289
Blazkowicz closes his eyes and gets in a nice nap as he leaves Earth's atmosphere.

01:33:41.289 --> 01:33:43.989
Taking a nap on the flight to the moon.

01:33:44.049 --> 01:33:46.509
Well, what else are you gonna do?

01:33:46.509 --> 01:33:50.449
They did not put TVs in the back of the seats, so like...

01:33:50.449 --> 01:33:50.969
What else?

01:33:50.969 --> 01:33:51.229
Yeah.

01:33:51.229 --> 01:33:53.749
He's not gonna make chit chat with the Nazis on board.

01:33:53.749 --> 01:33:54.789
Fair enough.

01:33:54.789 --> 01:34:01.509
Blazkowicz enters the Nazi moon base, where Nazis are heavily armed and patrolling the moon.

01:34:01.509 --> 01:34:08.429
He plays along with the Nazi charade until he gets his suitcase back and changes into his American hero outfit.

01:34:08.429 --> 01:34:11.469
He also taps back into the resistance chat with the team back home.

01:34:12.309 --> 01:34:17.249
Carolyn asks for Blazkowicz's status and he says, well, I'm on the motherfucking moon.

01:34:17.249 --> 01:34:19.649
Yeah, and radio works perfectly up here.

01:34:19.649 --> 01:34:22.429
Setroth is a fucking genius, okay?

01:34:22.429 --> 01:34:33.089
Carolyn giggles and threatens to clean his mouth out with soap once he's on earth, then reminds him to get the decryption keys so they can use the nuclear cannon to shoot a bunch of Nazis in the dick with a nuke.

01:34:33.089 --> 01:34:39.969
Literally sent him to the moon to search a Nazi moon base for a piece of paper.

01:34:41.149 --> 01:34:43.909
Yes.

01:34:44.729 --> 01:34:45.409
Easy enough.

01:34:45.409 --> 01:34:47.849
This is a perfect game, fuck you.

01:34:49.489 --> 01:34:54.189
Blazkowicz dusts off his laser cutter and gets to work maneuvering the moon.

01:34:54.189 --> 01:34:59.969
Once the Nazis see Blazkowicz in his regular Nazi killing fit, they're on to him not being the chief research scientist.

01:34:59.969 --> 01:35:04.469
And then they begin open firing on the fucking moon.

01:35:04.469 --> 01:35:10.949
They predominantly use battery powered weapons that shoot off small laser blasts and bursts, so it's not like traditional gunpowder.

01:35:10.949 --> 01:35:17.069
But they do also have grenades on the moon, which feels insane to have on the moon, you know?

01:35:17.069 --> 01:35:19.789
It feels insane to have that on earth.

01:35:19.789 --> 01:35:22.409
Yeah, that's very true.

01:35:22.529 --> 01:35:25.289
I don't care for the fact that it is used in the world.

01:35:25.289 --> 01:35:28.149
But on the moon, it feels especially weird.

01:35:28.149 --> 01:35:31.469
Like we should be a little more respectful of this surface we're inhabiting.

01:35:31.469 --> 01:35:36.449
They're trying to say that they're like electric based grenades too, but there's an explosion to them.

01:35:36.709 --> 01:35:37.429
Yeah.

01:35:37.429 --> 01:35:37.909
Fully.

01:35:37.909 --> 01:35:39.209
Come on.

01:35:39.209 --> 01:35:49.309
Blazkowicz sends more Nazis and Nazi dogs to their lunar resting place and has to suit up for space and take a walk outside to get to where the decryption keys are.

01:35:49.309 --> 01:35:59.949
It's short, but it is satisfying where Blazkowicz experiences limited gravity as he bops around from one Nazi base to another so he can fire a nuclear cannon at Death's Head.

01:36:03.369 --> 01:36:07.529
I love it because it is very much like the same kind of gravity you get in Halo.

01:36:07.529 --> 01:36:08.989
Like that bouncing jump.

01:36:08.989 --> 01:36:09.529
Yeah.

01:36:09.529 --> 01:36:11.229
That's cool.

01:36:11.229 --> 01:36:15.949
As Blazkowicz gets to the base of the decryption codes, he takes a beat for himself.

01:36:15.949 --> 01:36:20.969
He sits at a table and picks up a loose scalpel that he finds just on a table.

01:36:20.969 --> 01:36:22.489
Doesn't clean it or anything.

01:36:22.489 --> 01:36:26.149
He uses his bare hands and pulls his right sleeve up.

01:36:26.329 --> 01:36:27.329
My God.

01:36:27.329 --> 01:36:28.629
Why are we doing this part?

01:36:29.549 --> 01:36:39.449
Efficiently, Blazkowicz carves out a rectangle on his right arm, framing and removing the tattoo he was forcibly given in the Nazi laser camp in Croatia.

01:36:39.449 --> 01:36:42.609
Oh, it is the gnarliest fucking thing.

01:36:42.609 --> 01:36:45.329
He doesn't fucking flinch, and it's so gross.

01:36:45.349 --> 01:36:51.449
Once he carves the frame around the tattoo, Blazkowicz rips off the sliced skin in one swooping motion.

01:36:51.449 --> 01:36:53.449
I don't think that's how skin works.

01:36:53.449 --> 01:36:56.009
I 100% don't believe that's how that works.

01:36:57.689 --> 01:37:01.569
His arm bleeds out, freeing him of his tattoo.

01:37:01.569 --> 01:37:06.709
He flicks away the dead skin slip, leaving a part of him on the moon and that part of him behind.

01:37:07.149 --> 01:37:09.989
Ah, still just don't care for it.

01:37:09.989 --> 01:37:11.409
It's gross, but it is awesome.

01:37:11.409 --> 01:37:13.249
It is so badass.

01:37:13.249 --> 01:37:19.409
There is no cooler way to remove your Nazi tattoo, but god damn, that is fucking nasty.

01:37:19.409 --> 01:37:21.009
But it sucks to watch, yeah.

01:37:21.009 --> 01:37:23.129
And why did he choose now?

01:37:23.129 --> 01:37:24.229
He's on the moon.

01:37:24.229 --> 01:37:25.049
I mean, I guess so.

01:37:25.209 --> 01:37:28.409
You don't want that shit left on earth.

01:37:28.409 --> 01:37:29.389
That's not what I meant.

01:37:31.449 --> 01:37:37.969
Blazkowicz picks up laser guns and rightfully shoots more Nazis in the dick until he gets to a control room.

01:37:37.969 --> 01:37:42.369
He prints out the decryption keys and tells the earth team that he's got them in his hands.

01:37:42.369 --> 01:37:45.529
Anya tells him to get back down to earth now.

01:37:45.529 --> 01:37:52.569
Blazkowicz has to now find a way to escape the moon so he can rejoin the earthbound resistance fighters.

01:37:52.569 --> 01:38:00.469
The entire moon knows that he's here and he's slain so many Nazis, leaving their pig blood dripping in the lunar base halls.

01:38:00.469 --> 01:38:04.529
And there's just more of this huge fire fight to get to the earth's shuttles.

01:38:04.529 --> 01:38:05.769
It's so fucking fun.

01:38:05.769 --> 01:38:08.209
And when you look out the window, there's the moon.

01:38:08.209 --> 01:38:10.209
It's fantastic.

01:38:10.209 --> 01:38:14.669
On the shuttle station, there's one shipment transport that's getting ready to take off.

01:38:14.669 --> 01:38:19.289
Blazkowicz shoots out a bunch of final super soldiers before boarding the shuttle.

01:38:19.289 --> 01:38:27.189
As he does, he hears the pilot radioing into Nazi HQ back at London Nautica, warning them that he was attacked by a terrorist.

01:38:27.189 --> 01:38:29.049
On the moon!

01:38:29.049 --> 01:38:33.649
London Nautica copies, saying they'll do a full debrief when he lands back on Earth.

01:38:33.649 --> 01:38:38.069
After London Nautica is warned, Blazkowicz makes it in and kills the pilot.

01:38:38.069 --> 01:38:44.469
Just as the pilot dies, the pilot manages to warn London Nautica that the terrorist has made it onto the ship.

01:38:44.469 --> 01:38:52.009
Blazkowicz stabs him to death and leaves him bleeding out as he preps to send his own ass back to Earth, where the Nazis are now waiting for him.

01:38:52.009 --> 01:38:55.049
This guy knows how to pilot a spaceship.

01:38:55.049 --> 01:39:00.109
Yeah, you go up, you see Earth, you go towards it.

01:39:00.109 --> 01:39:01.289
It's not like there's traffic.

01:39:01.289 --> 01:39:02.049
Right.

01:39:02.049 --> 01:39:08.229
Blazkowicz wakes up as his shuttle comes crashing down onto the surface of the London Nautica landing platform.

01:39:08.229 --> 01:39:13.229
The number of times he takes control of a vehicle and immediately goes to sleep.

01:39:17.269 --> 01:39:19.569
He's a sleepy boy, okay?

01:39:20.589 --> 01:39:22.409
Blazkowicz needs a nap.

01:39:22.409 --> 01:39:26.889
He does not understand how vehicles work.

01:39:26.889 --> 01:39:31.629
What the fuck is autopilot if I'm not allowed to take a nap?

01:39:31.629 --> 01:39:33.789
He makes a lot of assumptions about the future.

01:39:33.789 --> 01:39:35.449
That's for damn sure.

01:39:36.629 --> 01:39:39.789
Groggy and sore, Blazkowicz braces himself for landing.

01:39:40.429 --> 01:39:45.629
He thinks only of how much he wants to see Anya again, and that's what keeps him fighting.

01:39:45.629 --> 01:39:52.949
Carolyn had let Blazkowicz know that Klaus will be on the ground to pick him up, so Blazkowicz just has to make it out of London Nautica one more time.

01:39:52.949 --> 01:39:59.489
Cleverly, they don't reuse the map from earlier, as we're in a different part of the London Nautica facility now, which I appreciate.

01:39:59.489 --> 01:40:01.749
We're in the same place, but in a different part of it.

01:40:01.749 --> 01:40:03.709
Yeah, there's really no repeating in this game at all.

01:40:03.709 --> 01:40:06.629
Oh no, and this game is so fucking good about it.

01:40:06.629 --> 01:40:11.629
Blazkowicz breaks into the building after crashing his space shuttle, and shoots his way down.

01:40:11.629 --> 01:40:18.789
The team gives him a heads up that the London Monitor is up and running again, and they do not sound confident about it.

01:40:18.789 --> 01:40:20.869
They're displeased to hear this.

01:40:20.869 --> 01:40:23.649
Well, they lost London once before to it.

01:40:23.649 --> 01:40:30.049
A call from Wyatt comes in saying that Death's Head has sent a unit to the Resistance group, and they're starting to close in.

01:40:30.049 --> 01:40:35.089
The Berlin base has been compromised, and Blazkowicz needs to get back as soon as humanly possible.

01:40:35.329 --> 01:40:36.289
Oh, shit.

01:40:36.289 --> 01:40:44.909
Blazkowicz works his way down from the top of the London Nautica building and finds himself in a blocked-off construction area with tubes and building equipment.

01:40:44.909 --> 01:40:54.449
And then he looks up to see a 280-foot-tall, massive mechanical Nazi mech, the London Monitor.

01:40:54.449 --> 01:40:55.709
This fucking thing.

01:40:55.709 --> 01:40:57.549
Oh my god.

01:40:57.549 --> 01:41:02.589
It's fully bulletproof steel, has missiles and one directive.

01:41:02.589 --> 01:41:03.909
Kill Blazkowicz.

01:41:05.189 --> 01:41:06.089
It sucks.

01:41:06.089 --> 01:41:07.689
This is a kick-ass fight.

01:41:07.689 --> 01:41:11.369
And it's one of those ones where I think I warned you as you were approaching it.

01:41:11.369 --> 01:41:14.989
It's something you have to be very tactical and thoughtful with all of your movement.

01:41:14.989 --> 01:41:16.229
You really can't run and gun it.

01:41:16.229 --> 01:41:22.169
You have to strategically place yourself around the monitor to figure out how to take it down.

01:41:22.169 --> 01:41:28.129
It has both a battle pattern and a method of killing it that is unique to this individual enemy.

01:41:28.129 --> 01:41:28.909
Exactly.

01:41:28.909 --> 01:41:32.029
So you have to, one, figure out what that is.

01:41:32.029 --> 01:41:32.969
Yeah, there's discovery.

01:41:33.489 --> 01:41:35.089
And then two, pull it off.

01:41:35.089 --> 01:41:36.529
Yeah, and then execute.

01:41:37.549 --> 01:41:45.989
A mechanical voice rings out from the London Monitor, saying, on behalf of the citizens of London, you are ordered to surrender.

01:41:45.989 --> 01:41:52.349
Klaus is reasonably terrified of this hulking beast, and it sucks.

01:41:52.349 --> 01:42:01.469
After destroying all the individual missiles and shooting up into the engine of the London Monitor, the London Monitor does eventually fall at the feet of Blazkowicz.

01:42:02.529 --> 01:42:08.829
As the London Monitor crumbles in on itself in defeat, Blazkowicz follows along with it and passes out.

01:42:08.829 --> 01:42:09.929
Did he take control of it?

01:42:10.569 --> 01:42:13.349
You know he's just a sleepy boy, Tom.

01:42:13.349 --> 01:42:16.769
Klaus drives directly up to him and drags him into the car.

01:42:16.769 --> 01:42:20.609
Wyatt reaches out again, saying, they couldn't hold off Death's head troops.

01:42:20.609 --> 01:42:23.529
The resistance is scattered and they need help.

01:42:23.529 --> 01:42:30.889
Klaus frantically drives back to Berlin as fast as he can, which is roughly 630 miles or over a thousand kilometers away.

01:42:31.509 --> 01:42:32.189
From London?

01:42:32.189 --> 01:42:32.649
Yes.

01:42:32.649 --> 01:42:34.749
There's also the problem of water.

01:42:34.749 --> 01:42:37.089
Nazi checkpoints.

01:42:37.089 --> 01:42:42.829
There's a lot of problems, but anyway, Blazkowicz wakes up and is like, all right, we're getting there.

01:42:42.829 --> 01:42:46.909
There's a lot of challenges to this travel, but they do it.

01:42:46.909 --> 01:42:50.929
As long as Blazkowicz isn't driving, I think we'll be okay.

01:42:50.929 --> 01:42:55.469
About halfway there, Blazkowicz wakes up and reaches out to Berlin for a status update.

01:42:55.469 --> 01:42:58.389
Wyatt tells Blazkowicz that Frau Engel has been leading the attack.

01:42:58.929 --> 01:43:04.389
Her face is butchered and stitched back together sloppily, like a quilt made by a drunk.

01:43:04.389 --> 01:43:07.489
Wyatt and Carolyn have been hiding in the helicopter hanger.

01:43:07.489 --> 01:43:11.489
Several of the formerly incarcerated prisoners have been killed.

01:43:11.489 --> 01:43:13.689
Many others are hiding in the walls.

01:43:13.689 --> 01:43:18.549
Frau Engel had found Bombate, Setroth, and Anya.

01:43:19.649 --> 01:43:21.129
Alive?

01:43:21.129 --> 01:43:21.469
Yes.

01:43:21.469 --> 01:43:23.209
Okay, good.

01:43:23.209 --> 01:43:29.329
Right when they get back to Berlin, Klaus drives over a bridge to get towards one of the entrances to the resistance base.

01:43:29.329 --> 01:43:32.769
But he is met with Nazi soldiers as the car crashes.

01:43:32.769 --> 01:43:33.289
Fuck.

01:43:33.289 --> 01:43:37.489
The Nazis come over and fill Klaus's chest with bullets.

01:43:38.589 --> 01:43:40.369
Not fucking Klaus.

01:43:40.369 --> 01:43:42.369
I love Klaus.

01:43:42.369 --> 01:43:44.049
Blazkowicz looks over at his friend.

01:43:44.049 --> 01:43:54.369
And just as the Nazi goes to fill Blazkowicz with bullets as well, Max Haas grabs the Nazi's head and slams it over and over and over and over and over again into the hood of the car.

01:43:54.729 --> 01:44:00.609
Oh, you do not want to mess with somebody that has no control over their strength.

01:44:00.609 --> 01:44:01.809
They pissed off the big boy.

01:44:01.809 --> 01:44:02.389
Yeah.

01:44:02.389 --> 01:44:07.189
Blazkowicz peels himself out of the car and picks up the Nazi weaponry to defend Max.

01:44:07.189 --> 01:44:11.629
Max pulls Klaus's body out of the wreckage and flings him over his shoulder.

01:44:11.629 --> 01:44:17.149
With Klaus in one hand, Max opens up a sewer passage so Blazkowicz can get back into the base.

01:44:17.149 --> 01:44:23.969
Max closes the sewer after Blazkowicz enters and bullets are heard pinging off of the sewer coverage with Max on the other side.

01:44:24.229 --> 01:44:31.689
Oh my god, I was genuinely like, I turned around and was yelling, Max, as that door shut.

01:44:31.689 --> 01:44:38.749
Blazkowicz hurries inside and Wyatt Walkie to say that Frau Engel took Bambatte, Setroth and Anya to Death's Heads compound.

01:44:38.749 --> 01:44:39.469
Damn it.

01:44:39.469 --> 01:44:45.769
The resistance still has one helicopter, so if Blazkowicz can haul ass over, they can take it to rescue their friends.

01:44:45.769 --> 01:44:49.769
Blazkowicz runs inside the base to find Nazis are still torching the place.

01:44:49.769 --> 01:44:57.089
The entire Berlin resistance base is destroyed, on fire, and covered in the blood of allies and loved ones.

01:44:57.089 --> 01:44:59.589
This is fucking devastating.

01:44:59.589 --> 01:45:04.929
The married couple that Blazkowicz broke out of prison, reunited, are dead in each other's arms.

01:45:04.929 --> 01:45:08.369
I sat there staring at this, yelling at the TV.

01:45:08.369 --> 01:45:10.809
You were earnestly affected and mad.

01:45:10.809 --> 01:45:14.109
I was yelling at the TV at this one.

01:45:14.109 --> 01:45:15.049
It sucks.

01:45:15.049 --> 01:45:17.589
This is so hard, because this is your safe house.

01:45:17.589 --> 01:45:19.549
Literally the first word, safe.

01:45:19.929 --> 01:45:21.489
Yeah.

01:45:21.489 --> 01:45:23.669
Fuck the Nazis.

01:45:23.669 --> 01:45:27.089
In the vents, Blazkowicz finds Jay hiding in his room.

01:45:27.089 --> 01:45:30.249
Jay tells Blazkowicz, he's really happy to see him again.

01:45:30.249 --> 01:45:36.009
Despite being a blind jarhead patriot, he's the only other guitar man Jay knows.

01:45:36.009 --> 01:45:37.509
Blazkowicz tells Jay to come with him.

01:45:37.509 --> 01:45:40.369
They're going to go find Wyatt and Caroline and get out of here.

01:45:40.369 --> 01:45:45.089
Jay says, he's pretty well cornered by the man, and he's been on the run his whole life.

01:45:45.089 --> 01:45:46.649
He's sick of the silence.

01:45:46.649 --> 01:45:49.909
He says, when he's gone, he'll be silent until the end of time.

01:45:49.909 --> 01:45:53.689
But this moment, right now, it's going to be loud.

01:45:53.689 --> 01:45:55.049
Oh, fuck yeah.

01:45:55.049 --> 01:46:01.529
To give Blazkowicz and any remaining resistance members a fighting chance, Jay plugs his guitar into the amps.

01:46:01.529 --> 01:46:08.529
He turns them up as loud as they can go and forgoes his headphones, because he needs to feel this one in his bones.

01:46:08.529 --> 01:46:15.369
Jay begins strumming the star-spangled banner on his electric guitar with the sound knocking the dust off the walls.

01:46:16.329 --> 01:46:24.629
Several overly-shielded Nazis burst into the door and declare the guitar is a weapon for some fucking reason and open fire into Jay.

01:46:24.629 --> 01:46:29.029
As he lays dead, the final notes of his guitar ring out.

01:46:29.029 --> 01:46:33.109
Jesus Christ, that is fucking intense.

01:46:33.109 --> 01:46:39.289
And famously, the star-spangled banner covered by Jimi Hendrix with his electric guitar, it's too perfect, it's beautiful.

01:46:39.289 --> 01:46:41.689
I've earnestly never felt prouder of this country.

01:46:42.869 --> 01:46:50.089
In the Fergus Timeline, Tekla tells Blazkowicz, she's calculated the numbers, and for every resistance fighter, there are 19 Nazis.

01:46:50.089 --> 01:46:53.569
So everyone owes 19 dead Nazis for their fair share.

01:46:53.569 --> 01:47:02.609
She says she has 11, and the camera pans over to 11 neatly piled Nazi corpses in the corner of her room.

01:47:02.609 --> 01:47:07.189
They are, they are just like piled on top of each other in this little mound.

01:47:07.189 --> 01:47:08.369
It's beautiful.

01:47:08.369 --> 01:47:09.529
It's very well organized.

01:47:09.529 --> 01:47:10.369
I love that about her.

01:47:11.089 --> 01:47:18.689
She tells Blazkowicz he has a long, hard life in front of him, but this is her last day, and she calls him her friend.

01:47:18.689 --> 01:47:22.249
Then she takes out two more Nazis before being killed.

01:47:22.249 --> 01:47:23.309
Yeah.

01:47:23.309 --> 01:47:26.769
Blazkowicz shimmies through the vents after seeing his friend die.

01:47:26.769 --> 01:47:29.989
Frau Engel brought the fucking cavalry to the base.

01:47:29.989 --> 01:47:33.929
There's super soldiers, general soldiers, the whole fucking fleet is here.

01:47:33.929 --> 01:47:39.089
Blazkowicz finds himself at the feet of two small mechs who have their sole focus on destroying him.

01:47:40.009 --> 01:47:46.909
As he raises his hand to shield his eyes, Carolyn in her super suit from Seth Roth comes kicking the shit out of them.

01:47:46.909 --> 01:47:48.669
Oh, it's so fucking cool.

01:47:48.669 --> 01:47:52.609
She kicks them right in the head so hard, they both crumble to the ground.

01:47:52.609 --> 01:47:58.389
She has a superhero landing and says, welcome back to Berlin, Blazkowicz.

01:47:58.389 --> 01:48:01.709
She's the coolest motherfucker on fucking earth.

01:48:01.709 --> 01:48:06.089
To go from in that wheelchair to doing like acrobatics.

01:48:06.089 --> 01:48:08.729
To being a mercenary with like a super suit.

01:48:08.829 --> 01:48:10.089
She's so fucking cool.

01:48:10.089 --> 01:48:14.269
She's cooler than everyone on earth and the moon because Blazkowicz killed everyone on the moon.

01:48:14.269 --> 01:48:15.649
Yeah, that's true.

01:48:15.649 --> 01:48:18.129
So we can say that with confidence.

01:48:18.129 --> 01:48:21.429
Carolyn says she's going to go defend the helicopters so they can get out.

01:48:21.429 --> 01:48:23.549
She tells Blazkowicz to not get Wyatt killed.

01:48:23.549 --> 01:48:27.469
He's out of armor and is basically defenseless because he's a little baby.

01:48:27.469 --> 01:48:29.869
Wyatt hears this and goes, I'm distracting the dog.

01:48:29.869 --> 01:48:33.029
No need to be snarky now that your armor is working.

01:48:33.029 --> 01:48:36.349
The dog is one of those massive 10 foot tall machine Nazi dogs.

01:48:36.349 --> 01:48:38.169
So it's not like Wyatt is playing fetch with a corgi.

01:48:39.389 --> 01:48:41.369
She's still really downplayed everything.

01:48:41.369 --> 01:48:42.789
It was like, he's fucking sad.

01:48:42.789 --> 01:48:43.429
He's with a dog.

01:48:43.429 --> 01:48:44.869
I don't fucking know.

01:48:44.869 --> 01:48:47.109
Don't let him die.

01:48:47.109 --> 01:48:52.589
Blazkowicz takes care of the Nazis on this level and keeps precious baby private Wyatt safe.

01:48:52.589 --> 01:48:54.429
Fucking Wyatt.

01:48:54.429 --> 01:48:59.069
Erland tells Wyatt and Blazkowicz to get in the helicopter because they have work to do and people to save.

01:48:59.069 --> 01:49:01.289
This is not over yet.

01:49:01.289 --> 01:49:07.689
Before they take off, Max Haas grabs the helicopter and flings Klaus's body onto it before entering himself.

01:49:07.889 --> 01:49:10.889
Max Haas made it?

01:49:10.889 --> 01:49:14.869
Klaus is somehow still alive and reaches up to touch Max's face.

01:49:14.869 --> 01:49:16.909
He tells Max, you're my boy, Max.

01:49:16.909 --> 01:49:18.049
You know that?

01:49:18.049 --> 01:49:19.309
Such a good boy.

01:49:19.309 --> 01:49:21.329
You'll be alone now, but don't fret.

01:49:21.329 --> 01:49:22.829
All of us are alone.

01:49:22.829 --> 01:49:25.709
You're going to have to stop crying and start fighting.

01:49:25.709 --> 01:49:28.089
I wish you could see the strength within you.

01:49:28.089 --> 01:49:32.629
With those final words, Klaus lets go and succumbs to his injuries.

01:49:32.629 --> 01:49:35.669
Wyatt holds Max as Max cries over Klaus's body.

01:49:36.209 --> 01:49:38.729
The fact that Klaus made it that long is really surprising anyway.

01:49:38.729 --> 01:49:40.249
Girl.

01:49:40.249 --> 01:49:44.969
As they fly into the night, Blazkowicz has the same vision he had early on in the game.

01:49:44.969 --> 01:49:51.389
He's laying out in his backyard, while his beautiful wife grills hamburgers and his daughters play in the yard.

01:49:51.389 --> 01:49:56.049
He says, It's agony to dream like this, wake up to reality.

01:49:56.049 --> 01:50:00.389
But sometimes, it's good to remember what you're fighting for.

01:50:00.389 --> 01:50:03.689
Back in reality, the Resistance fighters have taken shelter in the U-boat.

01:50:04.329 --> 01:50:09.329
Carolyn is stomping around in her super suit, and it's so fucking good to see her walking around.

01:50:09.329 --> 01:50:13.989
The remaining four, Carolyn, Wyatt, Max Haas, and Blazkowicz hatch a plan.

01:50:13.989 --> 01:50:17.449
Prisoners are held in the lower level of Death's Head's compound.

01:50:17.449 --> 01:50:21.389
They're going to do a deep run entry and surface up close to the compound.

01:50:21.389 --> 01:50:23.589
They'll take down the outer wall with a cannon.

01:50:23.589 --> 01:50:30.129
The Nazis will return fires, they'll have to dive again and leave Blazkowicz on the ground to enter the compound and rescue everyone.

01:50:30.129 --> 01:50:36.029
He'll get everyone on the helicopter, and once they're safely evacuated, they'll launch the nuclear warheads from the U-boat.

01:50:36.029 --> 01:50:37.289
Level the whole site.

01:50:37.289 --> 01:50:39.169
Make that trip to the moon fucking worth it.

01:50:39.169 --> 01:50:40.609
Hell yeah.

01:50:40.609 --> 01:50:44.229
Carolyn kisses Blazkowicz's forehead and tells him to be safe.

01:50:44.229 --> 01:50:47.329
Wyatt tells him, see you on the flip side, captain.

01:50:47.329 --> 01:50:48.629
Flip side.

01:50:48.629 --> 01:50:52.629
Fergus tells him, don't fuck this up, you magnificent cunt.

01:50:52.629 --> 01:50:53.869
That's more like it.

01:50:53.869 --> 01:50:56.549
You're like, that's my boy.

01:50:56.549 --> 01:50:58.489
I respond to that much better.

01:50:58.489 --> 01:51:04.729
At just under 50 meters, Blazkowicz fires the cannon and punctures a hole in General Death's Head's fortress.

01:51:04.729 --> 01:51:09.489
It's not just any cannon, it's the same spindly torque that stopped the train earlier.

01:51:09.489 --> 01:51:10.489
Shit, yeah, it is.

01:51:10.489 --> 01:51:19.469
As it launches, it shoots out grappling hooks all around and takes out Nazi officers in the fucking face and tears apart the wall as it spins around.

01:51:19.469 --> 01:51:26.569
Many Nazis fall to their watery grave using ancient Hebrew technology, and that feels good.

01:51:26.569 --> 01:51:31.669
Blazkowicz gets into the water and swims straight for the hole in the fortress, aiming to save the prisoners of war.

01:51:32.189 --> 01:51:35.169
He wonders, is this the day?

01:51:35.169 --> 01:51:39.169
Naturally, the Nazis here are very heavily armed, but fuck them.

01:51:39.169 --> 01:51:43.169
Blazkowicz kills them like the disgusting pieces of trash that they are.

01:51:43.169 --> 01:51:50.969
There's mechs among monsters, but Blazkowicz is fueled by the fear he'll never see Anya again, and he's here to get his girl.

01:51:50.969 --> 01:52:01.309
General Death's Head taunts Blazkowicz over the loudspeaker, telling him no matter how many soldiers he murders, he will never soil his legacy, which is some bullshit an 100 year old man would say.

01:52:02.429 --> 01:52:07.029
Carolyn pops in to tell Blazkowicz the U-boat is in position, and they're on track on their end.

01:52:07.029 --> 01:52:13.689
Blazkowicz enters the human testing wing, seeing spines suspended in scientific displays.

01:52:13.689 --> 01:52:20.069
As Blazkowicz rushes to climb a ladder to find the prisoners, he's jumped by a soft familiar face.

01:52:20.069 --> 01:52:27.869
It's Bubby, and he immediately injects a syringe into Blazkowicz, while a dumb shit-ass smile glides across his face.

01:52:27.869 --> 01:52:30.309
The fact that he gets the fucking jump on you like that.

01:52:30.589 --> 01:52:32.249
Oh, God, it's the worst.

01:52:32.249 --> 01:52:34.949
This little bitch-boy, I fucking hate Bubby.

01:52:34.949 --> 01:52:41.549
Blazkowicz tries to push him, but almost immediately begins losing consciousness.

01:52:41.549 --> 01:52:49.829
As Blazkowicz loses vision and all goes black, he sees Bubby's face and Bubby tells him, it's all over now.

01:52:49.829 --> 01:52:53.229
Blazkowicz wakes up on the floor with Bubby working on a computer.

01:52:53.229 --> 01:53:02.529
Bubby tells Blazkowicz that the syringe he injected will inhibit his nervous system and shut down his motor facilities, making it harder to move.

01:53:02.529 --> 01:53:07.109
Blazkowicz struggles to move before giving in, paralyzed.

01:53:07.109 --> 01:53:11.369
The computer monitor reveals the butchered face of Frau Engel.

01:53:11.369 --> 01:53:14.949
She says she's preoccupied cleaning up the mess in Berlin.

01:53:14.949 --> 01:53:19.449
Bubby says he has a gift for her, and she says she loves gifts.

01:53:19.449 --> 01:53:27.609
Bubby drives a hook into Blazkowicz and drags his body in front of the computer so Frau Engel can watch as Bubby slaughters him.

01:53:28.129 --> 01:53:31.569
Again, just surviving shit that is just, oh, oh, God.

01:53:31.569 --> 01:53:32.909
Truly the worst.

01:53:32.909 --> 01:53:40.329
She is in shock and says, Bubby, a gift so much more precious than I could have ever hoped for.

01:53:40.329 --> 01:53:46.009
Bubby holds a knife and asks Frau Engel, would you like me to open him up for you?

01:53:46.009 --> 01:53:48.829
She says, please.

01:53:48.829 --> 01:53:53.049
Bubby drives the knife into Blazkowicz's chest and blood gushes out.

01:53:53.049 --> 01:53:58.189
He starts pulling the knife down while it's deep inside Blazkowicz, carving him open.

01:53:58.189 --> 01:54:02.349
Frau Engel tells him, slowly, so I may savor it.

01:54:02.349 --> 01:54:03.749
Jesus Christ, lady.

01:54:03.749 --> 01:54:07.649
Bubby leans in close and says, this woman is my life, you understand?

01:54:07.649 --> 01:54:09.309
My everything.

01:54:09.309 --> 01:54:12.569
But I would do anything to see her smile.

01:54:12.569 --> 01:54:17.189
As Bubby gets close to Blazkowicz, Blazkowicz bites off his ear.

01:54:18.549 --> 01:54:20.849
Frau Engel watches, crying out for her lover.

01:54:21.729 --> 01:54:27.669
Blazkowicz spits out Bubby's ear and stands, knife still deep in his chest.

01:54:27.669 --> 01:54:32.909
Bubby is shocked, saying, I gave you enough toxins to paralyze an elephant.

01:54:32.909 --> 01:54:37.009
There must be something very wrong with your cerebral cortex.

01:54:37.009 --> 01:54:38.489
It's fucking scrambled eggs.

01:54:38.489 --> 01:54:40.829
Yeah, man, there's so much shrapnel in this fucking head.

01:54:40.829 --> 01:54:42.589
Yeah, he's got scrambled egg brains.

01:54:42.589 --> 01:54:44.309
It is what it is.

01:54:44.309 --> 01:54:48.009
Bubby holds a gun to Blazkowicz, but is too stunned to shoot.

01:54:48.009 --> 01:54:57.809
Blazkowicz pulls the knife out of his chest and stabs Bubby twice, once in the temple, through to his brain, and once from below his chin directly into his head.

01:54:57.809 --> 01:55:01.669
Oh my god, through the temple is so fucking insane.

01:55:01.669 --> 01:55:07.689
He makes sure to do this in full view of the camera so Frau Engel can savor it.

01:55:07.689 --> 01:55:09.009
She shakes as she cries.

01:55:09.009 --> 01:55:12.189
The way you cry so hard, you feel like you're going to throw up.

01:55:12.189 --> 01:55:14.829
Blazkowicz moves on to continue the mission.

01:55:14.829 --> 01:55:18.089
He knows what it's like to have a woman that is your life, your everything.

01:55:18.789 --> 01:55:22.969
A woman so good, you'll do anything to see her smile.

01:55:22.969 --> 01:55:27.969
Carolyn radios in to tell Blazkowicz the helicopter is ready for transport once the prisoners are secured.

01:55:27.969 --> 01:55:33.109
Blazkowicz gets downstairs and finds Anya leading all the prisoners out of their cells.

01:55:33.129 --> 01:55:34.089
Shit, yeah, she is.

01:55:34.089 --> 01:55:38.229
It's her, Set Roth, Bombate, and about a dozen more prisoners.

01:55:38.229 --> 01:55:40.949
She runs to Blazkowicz and he collapses in pain.

01:55:40.949 --> 01:55:45.689
Bombate is really excited and is like, Set Roth was able to hack them out of the cells.

01:55:45.689 --> 01:55:49.109
I'm really excited that you're here to help, but we're like halfway there, dude.

01:55:49.109 --> 01:55:50.289
We kind of did it on our own.

01:55:50.289 --> 01:55:51.269
Yeah.

01:55:51.269 --> 01:55:54.389
They take an elevator up, but it gets stuck between floors.

01:55:54.389 --> 01:56:00.089
The prisoners, Set Roth, Bombate, and Anya get out, with Blazkowicz boosting them up to the ground floor.

01:56:00.089 --> 01:56:07.269
When Blazkowicz is alone and about to leave, the elevator starts to malfunction and move away again, away from the safety of the floor.

01:56:07.269 --> 01:56:09.709
Anya reaches for him, saying, We'll get you out.

01:56:09.709 --> 01:56:10.909
We'll go somewhere.

01:56:10.909 --> 01:56:15.449
I believe there are still places on this earth where people can go and live happy.

01:56:15.449 --> 01:56:21.309
He looks at her and says, I believe so, too, but not for me and you.

01:56:21.309 --> 01:56:29.249
As he says this, the elevator shoots up into the compound, leaving Anya to continue leading the survivors to Carolyn's helicopter.

01:56:29.249 --> 01:56:36.949
Blazkowicz sits on the floor of the elevator, readying himself for the final fight, the one he came here for 14 years ago.

01:56:36.949 --> 01:56:41.449
Over the comms of the elevator, General Death's Head said, What are you doing in there?

01:56:41.449 --> 01:56:43.029
An old friend come to visit?

01:56:44.009 --> 01:56:47.689
I haven't had a visitor like you in a long time.

01:56:47.689 --> 01:56:51.829
The elevator comes to a stop, and Blazkowicz jumps to his feet and starts shooting.

01:56:51.829 --> 01:56:56.009
General Death's Head looks right at him from behind laser-proof glass.

01:56:56.009 --> 01:56:58.169
Death's Head says, Yes, I know you.

01:56:58.169 --> 01:56:59.849
We've met before.

01:56:59.849 --> 01:57:03.169
I think today we meet for the last time.

01:57:03.169 --> 01:57:07.269
General Death's Head is again a whole ass hundred years old at this point.

01:57:07.269 --> 01:57:08.549
Yeah, seriously.

01:57:08.549 --> 01:57:11.449
Powered purely by hate and Nazi pseudo-science.

01:57:12.049 --> 01:57:16.849
He stands and presses a button, and shelves behind him start whirring around.

01:57:16.849 --> 01:57:20.849
He addresses Blazkowicz, saying, Still fighting after all of these years?

01:57:20.849 --> 01:57:24.209
My guy, you are so much older than him.

01:57:24.209 --> 01:57:25.409
Don't be surprised that they're fighting.

01:57:25.409 --> 01:57:26.529
Yeah, right?

01:57:26.529 --> 01:57:28.729
He picks up a tube from the shelves.

01:57:28.729 --> 01:57:31.889
He says, I remember your friend.

01:57:31.889 --> 01:57:33.889
I savor his memory.

01:57:33.889 --> 01:57:35.889
Do you remember him?

01:57:35.889 --> 01:57:40.869
Death's Head places the tube down, revealing it contains a brain suspended in liquid.

01:57:41.909 --> 01:57:48.549
A flashback shows that Fergus' brain was extracted and preserved by General Death's Head, and he has held on to it until now.

01:57:48.549 --> 01:57:49.609
Jesus Christ.

01:57:49.609 --> 01:57:53.549
It's been left in a stasis form, ready to be activated again.

01:57:53.549 --> 01:58:00.149
This brain is the memory, the soul, the spirit of Fergus, and it is at the mercy of the Nazis.

01:58:00.149 --> 01:58:07.429
General Death's Head loads Fergus' brain into a mech nearby, and Blazkowicz looks on at what remains of his best friend.

01:58:07.429 --> 01:58:13.269
The mech springs to life with Fergus' brain, and Death's Head says, Can you grasp the splendor of it?

01:58:13.269 --> 01:58:19.809
The intelligence of the human brain amalgamated with the efficiency and obedience of the machine.

01:58:19.809 --> 01:58:21.329
This fucking guy.

01:58:21.349 --> 01:58:23.869
Oh my God, it is just...

01:58:23.869 --> 01:58:24.809
It's disgusting.

01:58:24.809 --> 01:58:28.869
It is classic villain, try to live forever kind of technology.

01:58:28.869 --> 01:58:31.929
Yeah, and it's really horrific to see it weaponized like this.

01:58:31.929 --> 01:58:32.729
Yeah.

01:58:32.729 --> 01:58:42.809
Oh, the experimentation he had to do to get there is just so fucked, and they are bringing back, I mean, Fergus or Wyatt, whichever one, which is just even the most evil fucking shit.

01:58:42.809 --> 01:58:44.129
Fully.

01:58:44.129 --> 01:58:49.269
The mech exits the safety of the bulletproof glass with Death's Head and approaches Blazkowicz.

01:58:49.269 --> 01:58:54.529
The objective that flashes in the HUD says, end Fergus' suffering.

01:58:54.529 --> 01:58:56.409
Oh, fuck me.

01:58:56.409 --> 01:59:02.049
Fergus, as a ghost in the shell, pushes Blazkowicz out into a battlefield, knocking all his weapons free.

01:59:02.049 --> 01:59:09.689
Blazkowicz has to kick open crates and fling found grenades at his former brother in arms, trapped in Nazi technology.

01:59:09.689 --> 01:59:13.909
After taking him down, the machine begs for the release of death.

01:59:13.909 --> 01:59:16.049
It begs, end me.

01:59:16.049 --> 01:59:18.189
Please let me die.

01:59:18.189 --> 01:59:24.209
Oh, my God, take a Bioshock, because seriously, that reminds me of the end of Bioshock 2.

01:59:24.209 --> 01:59:26.589
Oh, yeah.

01:59:26.589 --> 01:59:31.889
Blazkowicz promises, I'll see you again in a better place than this.

01:59:31.889 --> 01:59:34.589
He removes the brain from the mech and shoots it down the middle.

01:59:36.129 --> 01:59:41.889
General Desshead planned for some shit like this for some fucking reason, and enters in his own goddamn mech.

01:59:41.889 --> 01:59:43.449
Of course he does.

01:59:43.449 --> 01:59:48.749
He says, you perplex me, Captain, but you do not scare me.

01:59:48.749 --> 01:59:55.129
Desshead shoots at Blazkowicz and tears apart the battle arena, falling into a battle arena below the surface.

01:59:55.129 --> 02:00:04.969
Before Blazkowicz enters this final fight, he says, General, before the day is done, I will have you at the end of my blade.

02:00:04.969 --> 02:00:07.349
Oh, it's so cool.

02:00:07.349 --> 02:00:10.789
Then Blazkowicz heads down to finish all of this.

02:00:10.789 --> 02:00:14.069
The area is tight and constantly filling with smoke and fires.

02:00:14.069 --> 02:00:16.029
It's a fantastic final battle set.

02:00:16.309 --> 02:00:17.029
It's a horo-

02:00:17.089 --> 02:00:19.889
A cover game against a fucking mech.

02:00:19.889 --> 02:00:27.109
There are actually some lines that General Death's Head says here that are from the Wolfenstein 3D Final Battles.

02:00:27.109 --> 02:00:27.629
Really?

02:00:27.629 --> 02:00:28.049
Yeah.

02:00:28.049 --> 02:00:29.389
Oh, that's cool.

02:00:29.389 --> 02:00:32.589
I can't pronounce them, but.

02:00:32.589 --> 02:00:33.329
It's in German.

02:00:33.329 --> 02:00:36.989
It's in German, but it's really fucking cool when he does it.

02:00:36.989 --> 02:00:43.289
At the end of the fight, Blazkowicz tears off the cover of Death's Head's mech, freeing the hundred-year-old man.

02:00:43.289 --> 02:00:48.729
Death's Head comes out coughing, screaming, I will never kneel to you.

02:00:48.729 --> 02:00:53.749
Blazkowicz grabs his collar and says, Fine, I'll gut you standing.

02:00:53.749 --> 02:00:55.069
Fuck yeah.

02:00:55.069 --> 02:00:58.149
He brandishes his knife and just starts stabbing.

02:00:58.149 --> 02:01:03.069
He pushes the knife in over and over and over again across Death's Head's chest.

02:01:03.069 --> 02:01:07.509
Death's Head begins to collapse and grabs Blazkowicz's arm as he slides down.

02:01:07.509 --> 02:01:15.429
With his very last breath, Death's Head looks over at Blazkowicz and says, So gullible.

02:01:15.429 --> 02:01:18.589
Death's Head produces a grenade and flicks the trigger off.

02:01:18.589 --> 02:01:19.529
Oh fuck.

02:01:19.529 --> 02:01:23.849
It explodes and all Blazkowicz can see is white.

02:01:23.849 --> 02:01:27.249
As vision comes back, Death's Head's body is destroyed.

02:01:27.249 --> 02:01:29.989
His head and limbs have separated from his torso.

02:01:29.989 --> 02:01:30.849
Good.

02:01:30.849 --> 02:01:35.329
And Blazkowicz is crawling back on his arms and elbows away from the wreckage.

02:01:35.329 --> 02:01:36.969
Because nothing kills him.

02:01:36.969 --> 02:01:39.789
Absolutely nothing can kill the perfect American man.

02:01:40.749 --> 02:01:44.449
Wyatt hops on comms and says, the nuclear cannon is armed.

02:01:44.449 --> 02:01:46.369
Permission to fire?

02:01:46.369 --> 02:01:50.989
Blazkowicz comes to a window and sees the prisoners have made it off of the compound.

02:01:50.989 --> 02:01:52.429
They're free.

02:01:52.429 --> 02:01:54.229
They're safe.

02:01:54.229 --> 02:01:57.429
He sees down below, they're being led by Anya.

02:01:57.429 --> 02:02:02.109
She holds a light making sure the freed prisoners make it to Carolyn's helicopter.

02:02:02.109 --> 02:02:07.329
He thinks, a mighty woman with a torch whose flame is the imprisoned lighting.

02:02:07.329 --> 02:02:09.309
And her name, Mother of Exiles.

02:02:10.009 --> 02:02:15.489
Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.

02:02:15.489 --> 02:02:24.449
He sees Anya board the helicopter last after all the other prisoners are secured as it pulls up into the sky, out to safety.

02:02:24.449 --> 02:02:31.469
As the helicopter rises into the sky, Blazkowicz lays on his back, letting his blood pool around him.

02:02:31.469 --> 02:02:34.869
He tells Wyatt, they're clear to fire the nukes.

02:02:34.869 --> 02:02:41.049
The screen goes black and the title card shows, Wolfenstein, The New Order.

02:02:41.049 --> 02:02:43.029
Fucking hell.

02:02:43.029 --> 02:02:46.269
It is so heroic.

02:02:46.269 --> 02:02:48.269
It is so monumental.

02:02:48.269 --> 02:02:49.289
It is epic.

02:02:49.289 --> 02:02:50.969
It is incredible.

02:02:50.969 --> 02:02:56.609
And you were a mess for at least two hours after you beat this game.

02:02:56.609 --> 02:02:58.089
It was an hour.

02:02:59.349 --> 02:03:00.769
So I beat the game.

02:03:00.769 --> 02:03:03.269
This beautiful song starts playing.

02:03:03.269 --> 02:03:05.369
The credits are rolling.

02:03:05.389 --> 02:03:06.849
I am inconsolable.

02:03:06.989 --> 02:03:07.829
I just start crying.

02:03:07.829 --> 02:03:10.569
I burst into tears.

02:03:10.569 --> 02:03:11.609
And I think I yelled for you.

02:03:11.609 --> 02:03:14.669
I was like, Doggie, you come for me?

02:03:14.669 --> 02:03:16.109
And you come down.

02:03:16.329 --> 02:03:18.969
At that point, I'm actually catatonic.

02:03:18.969 --> 02:03:20.489
I'm wrapped in a blanket.

02:03:20.489 --> 02:03:21.369
I can't move.

02:03:21.369 --> 02:03:22.909
My eyes won't focus.

02:03:22.909 --> 02:03:24.389
I'm having an emotional breakdown.

02:03:24.389 --> 02:03:26.869
And you're like, are you OK?

02:03:26.869 --> 02:03:29.929
And I went, I beat Wolfenstein and now it's over.

02:03:29.929 --> 02:03:31.849
And I'm like, the Nazi killing game?

02:03:31.869 --> 02:03:32.609
Yeah.

02:03:32.609 --> 02:03:34.229
And then I played it and I totally get it.

02:03:34.429 --> 02:03:36.769
Yeah.

02:03:36.769 --> 02:03:39.749
And you see me play a lot of video games.

02:03:39.749 --> 02:03:41.849
You know, we've been together for years.

02:03:41.849 --> 02:03:45.269
We've been through a lot together, you know.

02:03:45.269 --> 02:03:46.409
Have you ever seen me like that?

02:03:46.409 --> 02:03:46.929
Not once.

02:03:46.929 --> 02:03:47.529
Not once.

02:03:47.529 --> 02:03:49.449
No, not over anything.

02:03:49.449 --> 02:03:50.729
We've lost a pet before.

02:03:50.729 --> 02:03:51.329
Yeah.

02:03:51.329 --> 02:03:52.049
No, twice.

02:03:52.049 --> 02:03:52.569
Twice.

02:03:52.569 --> 02:03:52.969
Yeah.

02:03:52.969 --> 02:03:53.809
Nothing like this.

02:03:53.809 --> 02:03:54.709
I've lost friends.

02:03:54.709 --> 02:03:58.429
Honestly, this is the most devastated I've ever seen you.

02:03:58.429 --> 02:04:02.049
Well, I love Blazkowicz and I worry about him.

02:04:02.189 --> 02:04:04.469
And then Anya is perfect and she got everyone out.

02:04:04.469 --> 02:04:06.749
Everyone's so brave on the resistance end.

02:04:06.749 --> 02:04:08.889
Jay sacrificed everything for the world.

02:04:08.889 --> 02:04:12.689
Fucking Anya's been killing Nazis since she was a teenager and I love her for it.

02:04:12.689 --> 02:04:14.489
Max Haas survived.

02:04:14.489 --> 02:04:14.949
Oh my God.

02:04:14.949 --> 02:04:18.049
I could not believe Max Haas survived.

02:04:18.049 --> 02:04:19.109
You know there's a sequel, right?

02:04:19.109 --> 02:04:19.389
I know.

02:04:19.389 --> 02:04:20.129
I'm really excited.

02:04:20.129 --> 02:04:22.009
I downloaded it immediately.

02:04:22.009 --> 02:04:25.909
When I came out of my catatonic state, I was like, I need the old blood.

02:04:25.909 --> 02:04:27.069
I need new colossus.

02:04:27.069 --> 02:04:28.049
I need young blood.

02:04:28.049 --> 02:04:28.849
Get them all.

02:04:28.849 --> 02:04:31.149
I want every title MachineGames has ever done.

02:04:31.649 --> 02:04:40.429
And then I think I wouldn't shut up for 20 minutes about how the new Indiana Jones game is from this team and how it better be fucking perfect.

02:04:40.429 --> 02:04:44.429
I have a feeling it will be because goddamn, that was epic.

02:04:44.429 --> 02:04:53.949
There are rumors that this is part of a larger trilogy, so we should be getting a third main series Wolfenstein game out of MachineGames, although that is not confirmed at the time of this recording.

02:04:53.969 --> 02:05:00.209
Obviously, I deeply hope it's coming, and you're probably going to get new colossus out of me just because I need a reason to play.

02:05:00.429 --> 02:05:06.689
I don't need a reason to play this, I'm going to play it fucking regardless, but I need a reason to talk about it because it's so good and I love this.

02:05:06.689 --> 02:05:11.009
And apparently, new colossus is a more fun game.

02:05:11.009 --> 02:05:15.929
People really praise that one over this one for some reason, and this was a perfect fucking game.

02:05:15.929 --> 02:05:17.889
And I think we're going to get you to play Doom after that.

02:05:17.889 --> 02:05:19.109
What's Doom?

02:05:22.149 --> 02:05:26.229
The game that is possibly more iconic than Wolfenstein.

02:05:26.229 --> 02:05:26.769
Sounds fun.

02:05:27.049 --> 02:05:28.429
Yeah, anyway.

I'd love to talk to you all on Discord about how perfect this game is.

02:06:42.049 --> 02:06:45.769
I'm just so excited that it exists and I get to play it anytime I want.

02:06:45.769 --> 02:06:46.849
I'm so happy.

Yes, and this is Tom and Andrea reminding you.

02:06:53.369 --> 02:06:59.809
Don't have weird sex in front of a house full of all of your friends loud and aggressive enough that the fucking frames are coming off the wall.

02:06:59.809 --> 02:07:01.609
God damn it.

02:07:01.609 --> 02:07:04.709
And don't skip the cutscenes.

02:07:04.709 --> 02:07:05.529
Bye.
