Call of Cthulhu Reaction and the Lovecraft Boss Fight Challenge: Show of the Week
March 31, 2019 1 min read
Call of Cthulhu, out this week, casts you as an old timey PI investigating a mysterious fatal fire in a spooky fishing town. Mike and Andy inspect this new H.P. …

Darkwater, it's like Blackwater. But darker.
….Someone's probably already made this bad pun, if so, my deepest apologies.
Did anyone else get super motion sick playing Quake 2?
Kudos from this galeophobe for the for the shark corpse(s?) littering the catacombs. All Hail the Sleeping God.
The names all reference lovecraft characters and plots
why are these games always calling themselves call of cthulu when it's actually more like shadow over insmouth?
Kindom of Amalur has a Detect Hidden skill as well. Like Vampire the Masquerade it does put a highlight the hidden item though.
The final boss is a Lovecraftian Old One Mike: "All I can remember is it has tentacles." Nooooo… you don't say. I feel like, even if you had no clue what the boss looked like, if they say "Lovecraftian" and you reply with "tentacles" you have a 99% chance of being right.
Shadow of the Comet and Prisoner of Ice
Admit it Andy! you were the character model for the cover art of call of Cthulhu’s MC. But if you really weren’t then you might wanna check for cameras outside your house. Okay! Just saying…..
Andy should embrace the cover art looking like him. Samuel L. Jackson reading a comic book and noticing the resemblance to himself got him endless films as Nick Fury, just saying.
I love H. P. Lovecraft but this game looks freakin' awful. I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. I can't even get past 5 minutes of this video. I've had to pause and will be leaving as soon as I've finished writing this comment.
I hope you guys had an amazing Halloween, sadly couldn't catch your live streams as data on my phone is always a bit low; I'm probably part of the 1% who doesn't have internet connection at home lol. But I did get to watch them at the library after the Lives were finished… Must admit I'm proud of Andy, his screaming composure has really gone down since the Slenderman days of Andy's 'speaker breaking bloody murder' screams. Lots of love, hugs and positive vibes to you all and to Oxtra Crew too. 🙂
Dishwasher tablets? That gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "eating clean".
I liked Call of Cthulhu, but it's yet another game that screams for a "New Game+" mode.
at the end there was that a tide pod joke?
Andy looks a little rough this week. However good Red Dead Redemption 2 is it can't replace sleep, Andy!
Why are you guys so much more entertaining than the Know? If only you covered all gaming. Nods, nods.
"The others are away, we could do something productive… Or, we could play Quake!" Pretty much my high school years.
It's funny that Anthony Howell (the voice actor for the detective in Call of Cthulhu) also voices Jonathan Reid in Vampyr
When it said Lovecraft Boss Fight Challenge I thought it would be one of those "Create-A-Boss" challenges. The actual challenge is a cool choice too. 😀
I would like to say that I am very proud that the boys were able to stay alive during the time all of the adults were in Australia.
Jane, Ellen, and Luke need to get back. Andy and Mike are becoming too similar, as evidenced by the simultaneous “oh boy!” when turning the corner at the cephalopod.
I can imagine Andy is very comforted by the trophy, he'd been pining after it for a whole year, after all.
Shub-Niggurath is female. I expect Jane will have some stern words for you. That you’ll have to look up in the Necronomicon afterwards.
Mike, how dare you say Pikachu isn't comforting! He'll comfort you into your grave you heathen! HAIL LORD COMFORT PIKACHU.
Can’t wait for Andy to see the ending to rdr2
So you're telling me that there are other games than RDR2? 😅
Regarding the sanity meter, it does actually matter and, while it does deplete at key story points, there are also other things in exploration that drain your sanity, forcing you to balance between reading a cursed book to level up your occult knowledge, but also losing precious sanity, in addition to dialogue options that cost you sanity, but are also only available once you're perilously close to descending into madness already
Finally a lovecraftian themed show of the week – and you manage to make even the unspeakable horrors look fun
Anyone else want Andy to dress up as Detective Pierce for next Hallowe'en?!
ok. so. did you guys lock yourselves in the studio, did the OTHERS lock you in the studio, have you completely forgotten where the exit is in the non-euclidean labyrinth that is the studio, or have you just not left because you're too busy playing red dead redemption 2? I ask because I'm genuinely concerned and i think you guys need to go, like, talk to some other people. maybe call your mum or dad, get a bite to eat with some other friends that aren't each other? we're all very worried about you.
The best lovecraftian game I've ever played is Bloodborne. The most lovecraftian game I've ever played is Darkest Dungeon.
Playing RDR2 as Lincoln… I would avoid going to any theatres…
