Hey, hey, hey, time to put your middle to the test now.

Oh, bop, baa, baa,

hey, don't you know you're messing with the best now.

Uh-huh, uh-huh. Does anybody else find the concept of dummy doubt content in game scary.

We're actually going to start with a video game based non sequitur today, which is exciting.

It's exciting and innovative for our video game podcast, but am I the only one who finds it creepy?

Am I the only one who doesn't know what it means?

Right, I'm going to explain now. So dummy-out things, okay?

Things in the game, like in the code,

or like hidden off camera or like behind levels and things,

that were at some point being built to be intended to be in the game

or we used to test some things.

But they're still in the game in the game code and people can find them and unearth them.

I find something terrifying, extra spooky about playing

Bloodbourne, knowing there are two bosses in there that were never intended to be seen and have probably been seen by even a small fraction of people who have played the game, let alone the world.

But they're just in there being all lonely and weird.

It doesn't creep me out when it's like items or levels or things like that. I don't get freaked out by like Okaerina of Times Temple of Time that's locked away somewhere in there, the light temple or whatever it was. I do get freaked out a little

bit when I think about it when it's characters, when it's like enemies or people. Yeah.

Yeah, that's a weird one, particularly like, Bloodbourne is such a good example of this where it's like oh yeah no those are perfectly functional bosses that just

Languish in the code graveyard I think the worst part I think the hitboxes are fucked and one of them has no texture so it's just like it looks almost

like a blob of blood with tentacles like a a big silly putty monster.

But that's weird.
