This isn't a reaction, it's a lost sound file from the game
I have no intention of ever playing this game that intends to drive you completely insane but I do love this developer's point of view and the way he elegantly wordsmiths his thoughts.
He should patch this into the game. If the game detects your beating the game several times really quick it plays this speech as they are speedrunning it
every other dev reacts: "OMG HOW DID THEY.... OH NOOOOOO" Bennett Foddy: *smooth jazz and game philosophy lecture.
This should be the monologue that speed runners hear when they break the game
Jesus, he really is like this outside of the game.
Imagine being his roommate "Bennett I'm gonna run to the store want anything?" "Most would think that wanting is intrinsically destructive, but, in fact, it can be credited with the creation of--"
I love how Bennet started with “real quick while this guy is getting warmed up” and then when he was done the guy had finished.
*his vibe hasn't changed, it's the same irritating poetic voice*
This should just be titled Bennett Foddy narrates Getting over it speedrun
i was hoping for a reaction, rather than a freaking lesson on the relationships of games and speedrunners, it was entertaining tho
"And then having understood it perfectly, they break it over their knee." I don't think there's a more accurate way to describe hardcore speedrunners XD
As a long time speedrunner, this was beautifully stated. Speedrunners, more than anyone else, have experienced the game in every detail top-to-bottom, then they continue their enjoyment of the game by finding the absolute limitations of the game's rules.
Speedrunner: beat his game in minutes Ben Foddy: *reacts in narration*
I love to see how the dev just talks quietly about how the brain of a speedrunner works metaphorically, while the speedrunners is on cocaine
i came here to watch the dev suffer. instead *i suffer*
This guy has a pleasant, soothing voice. It must be so relaxing to listen to for an extended period of time.
I love Bennet Foddy's take on this, so many people miss the fact that a speedrunner 99 out of a 100 times loves and understands the game they are speedrunning before they destroy it.
Pedestrian reacts to getting run over by a car: "I love car drivers because they look at you on the sidewalk, they appreciate you for the many-faceted human being that you are, and then they murder you"
