What makes us afraid?


If an LPer wears a Fitbit while playing horror games, we will be able to gather enough data to ascertain what fear truly is by recording the player's heart rate during crucial "scare" scenarios.


I'm Doctor judge reinhold, joined once again by my two best case studies, Diaper Chris and Major Tom. We have decided to embark on an amazing technological journey, unseen in the Let's Play scientific community: Diaper Chris will play various horror games and while we keep track of his heart rate (and other vital elements as necessary) by means of the Fitbit. Steam games, Game Maker games, Playstation games, doesn't matter! All will be examined under the microscope of scientific rigor! Once the data has been gathered, we will be able to know, for sure, what makes mankind afraid.

P values? We want B values! BPM values, that is! Beats Per Minute that unabbreviates to, that is!

So join us, if not for the laughs, but for the betterment of mankind's understanding.

I didn't see it in the FAQ do you plan on playing any non-baby's-first-effort horror games. Dead Space, Outlast, games of that sort?

This looks like something which should be used to spread the message of science and educate the masses. Not so much on grammar or writing for the games, though.

Surely you jest. Good games (that are also long enough to be threads unto themselves)? When we can have bad games instead?

They do say they'll be playing Playstation games at any rate but I suspect that's not the bar of quality you're hoping for.

The Coffee Men don't play good games. They are, however, always pushing new boundaries.

This could be interesting. I agree with dscruffy and hope you grab some of the newer flashy horror titles too. I have heard many many good things about SOMA.

Maybe the bone we were looking for was the friendship we found along the way...

Hello yes I heard there was a lovely trainwreck here and...

I'm going to recommend GUILT. All I will tell you is it's a (free) art game because it's very deep and I wouldn't want to spoil it.

e: On second thought I will also reveal in addition it's a platformer that is on the harder side (a small part of which comes from being art too). Not Super Meat Boy hard though.

The bones belong to the guy from the old KFC commercials that thought he ate the bones from his new fingerlickin' KFC bonesless wings, available for a limited time only.

Also, remember when Nintendo had a heartrate monitor in development for the Wii (or maybe WiiU?)

For really scary games, you should substitute the Fitbit with a Shitbit to record how many times per minute you soil your pants in terror.

Glad to see the Coffsters back for another annual Spooktacular! I accidentally bought a Steam game called Kidnapped a while ago and it would be perfect for your experiment because I'm not sure if it's supposed to be a joke or not. It might be a good one to save for a stream sometime, it's what I like to call a "slow burn."
