I'm amazed you managed to play the game for that long. I would have quit the game as soon as I saw that first clown it was so scary. :ohdear:

I don't know if Chris is that brave or that stupid that he manages to keep his cool under these psychological assaults surpassing the Great Old Ones themselves.

Sometimes it's not the bomb that's retarded.

I think he got calmer after shooting his first clown.

I see this game took inspiration from Resident Evil with it's "unable to aim and move at the same time" schtick. Inspired by the very best in survival horror, 3 thumbs up.

He apparently got the calmest when he thought he got stuck in furniture and thought he broke the gem, aka the only time of peril in the video.

My theory is that Chris, used to life of abuse under the fickle old Judge, has conditioned himself to react to adversity by being as calm and passive as possible because that's the best way to stop the blows from coming.

You got a game where none of the clowns were evil because they're all coin flips.

I took the octopath less travelered,

And it made one-eighth the difference.
I'm impressed with how calm Chris was while using pro speedrun strats to breeze through the game. If I was trying to speedrun my heart rate would be beating a million miles (one million six hundred nine thousand three hundred forty-four kilometers) a minute!

Hey all! Professor Todd here. This seems like a good time to talk about the topic of the day: Science!.

Science is at once both art and another class you had to take so that you could graduate with full credits from your unaccredited LHS(local high school). And, as a Professor I Professionally do science all the time! I confess that more than once I've professed to make a mess with...weird science.

An important subject when you're getting ready to perform science is safety. And with that, let's jump right into what our good Honorably J Reinhold, OHMSS, DDS, AS has been presenting us.

There's a few things you're going to need if you want to independently verify the results as obtained by the friendly lab ape known as the Diaper. Firstly!! You'll need some condoms...no, not for that! You're going to be much too busy observing your hypothesis for anything like that! Trust me, I'm a Professor of this stuff. You need them to protect your controller from the sweaty, greasy loving hands of your chosen subject. Apply them over the handles and stretch the ends to fit over the joysticks. That should keep any monk(ey)-gunk(y) from getting stuck in your limited edition Xbox 1 Pro Controller now available.

Secondly, a test subject. They're free! Go out and grab one!

Thirdly but not leastly, a sweet gaming rig.

Well that's all I've got time for on this public access computer. I'll see you next time on Todd's Technical Talks. There's a homeless man waiting to use this computer so he can masturbate to pictures of celebrities!

It's literally Turkish Chinese for "lion". Lewis was obviously a fan of clowns and houses.

Isn't that what the baseline images did? We have observed the heart rate at rest, when exposed to stimulating images with an established pattern history and then during test conditions.

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

The question you couldn't hear was "Would you rather die a hero or live a long life?" Not that it mattered in the end; it didn't look like the production values were high enough to support trying to steer you towards admitting to being one of multiple famous murderers/assholes in history which is the only way you could make this idea halfway involving.

My question is, why does it say that Chris has a BPM of 61 while resting even though he usually stays in the 70-75 range for most of the video? Is the mere act of LPing enough to raise his baseline by 10+ points?

From the Fitbit FAQ:

HOW IS RESTING HEART RATE MEASURED?

Resting heart rate refers to the heart rate measured when you’re awake, calm, comfortable, and have not recently exerted yourself. Your tracker estimates your resting heart rate by measuring your heart rate while you’re asleep and while you’re awake but still during the day. Therefore, for best accuracy, wear your tracker to sleep. Note that your minimum heart rate during sleep is typically lower than your resting heart rate.

Diaper decided to take his fitness into his own hands and bought a fitbit a while ago. He tells me regularly about how much water he drinks, his step count, etc. I warn him that only nerds are fit now and women want the dad bod, but he says that since he's married he can let himself go, which in today's crazy world means becoming an Adonis, which again is not preferred by society.

Sounds like he's really 'gamifying' his life. Tell him that if he does more recording sessions a week he'll get a fitbit achievement
