McEats Plays! PT!

that_cost[ There's Charlie's usual "THIS SHIT AIN'T FOR KIDS!" warning and then a shot of Charlie, standing in her heavily geek themed kitchen. Based on whatever the video is about, she usually changes up the decor and today's decor is a little on the...creepy side. The knife block today is in fact one Pyramid Head, there are Salt and Pepper shaker Nurses (she has this shit custom made and it's wonderful) and there may even possibly be a coffee mug with an Armless Man on it. Even the background music for the video is Silent Hill-related. ]
Hey, world! It's McGee with your weekly McEats video. I just got back from Vidcon literally three hours ago, so all I really had time to do was reset the kitchen. My flight was delayed several times, and now here I am. Home. And without something to cook because I didn't have time to get the shit I needed.
Or to even come up with anything.
[ Pause. Shrug. She does look kinda tired. ]
That being said, someone recently asked me if I've ever recorded myself playing video games and I did. Once. A couple years ago, my friend Will dared me to play PT when it was released and while I am admittedly a huge fucking baby when it comes to these kinds of games, I managed to play through the entire thing with minimal swearing.
...that's a lie. I don't have enough money to cover the swearing I did.
[ There is no shame on her face as she admits any of this. ]
Next week, I promise to be back to our regularly scheduled cooking. There'll be a link in the description below to the recipe I'll be making so that anyone that wants to try it at home can. For now, enjoy my first and only attempt at making a Let's Play video!
[ And with that, the video starts. It's obvious it's from a couple years ago, because Charlie's hair is shorter, has a blue streak or two in it and she is definitely in a different house. The room she's in has a white and black background due to the soundproofing and she looks slightly nervous. But she continues on, a grin on her face and a cheerful tone in her voice as she talks to whomever is recording. ]
This is the last bet I'm ever going to lose to you, dude. The last one. I can't believe you're making me do this. [ Siiigh. ]
Alright then. Hello, everyone! I'm Charlie and this is my first Let's Play. Now, I'm just gonna say for the record that I really hate survival horror games, but as yu may have just heard...[ A glare at whoever is recording, nose wrinkling in annoyance. ] I lost a bet. So now, I have to play this shit. Let's get started!
[ The game starts and she reads the words that pop up. ]
"The only me is me. Are you sure the only you is you?"...what?
This is unsettling al-- oh, ew. Roaches. Get up. Get the *bleep* off the gross as *bleep* ground.
[ More playing, Charlie turning in a slow circle in the starting room. ]
What is that sound? What...okay. Time to leave.
[ Walking out the door and into a hall, Charlie is quiet as she sends the character through the house, stopping to examine the clock. ]
A minute until midnight. Is that when the weird sh*bleep* starts happening?
[ More walking around, looking at all the beer bottles and pills on the counter. ]
This...is an unhealthy amount of alcohol and drugs. I don't...
[ FIRST JUMP SCARE! Someone is banging on the bathroom door and Charlie jumped a mile, eyes going wide and arms curling up in a defensive posture. ]
WHAT THE---?! No! No, you stay in there. Keep...doing what you're doing. [ Pause. ]
You just...I hope everything comes out alright in the end. You do you. Bye.
[ Down the hall, down the steps, through the door and .... ]
...oh, good Christ.
[ This continues in pretty much the same vein, with Charlie's reactions to jump scares full of swearing and laughing at herself and even a series of "WOW! NO THAT'S NOT OKAY!" at the creepy baby thing in the bathroom. There's even one point when she looks up at the landing above the chandelier and sees the Ghost Woman staring down at her and she does nothing to contain the panic in her voice. ]
Oh! Oh, hey! H-how's it going? Nice house you have here. Why, I was just looking at the picture frame with...no, where are you going? NO OKAY GOODBYE F*bleep* YOU WHY DID YOU MOVE?!
[ There's more gameplay, more swearing that ranges from scared to just flat out pissed when Lisa kills her a few times and then Charlie gets serious. It's the end of the game and she's figured out how to beat it, based on the clues throughout. And she's talking to herself in an even, sort of clipped tone. Occasionally, her eyes flash slightly, but that could be a trick of the lighting. Sure. ]
Something's being haunted. It's the bathroom mirror. Okay. Zoom in and...why is she twitching? Why is she coming closer? Please don't kill...okay. Okay. Now to...
[ And through the last few steps. When the phone rings and she picks it up, listening to the guy say 'you've been chosen', Charlie can't get her character out the front door fast enough. She watches the end cinematic, hands over her mouth like she's waiting for something bad to happen and then...credits. She throws her arms up in the air and shouts happily. ]
F*bleep* yeah! Hell, yeah! It's over! I did it!
[ Pointing to her camera man, who is laughing so much at her antics right now. ]
I'm going to end you. I know where you sleep. Never....ever again...am I playing this kind of thing. No.
[ Without so much as a goodbye to end the filming of PT, Charlie takes her headset off and drops it on the table, drops the controller down, too, and stomps off camera, still swearing as her end-music plays. And it's back to Charlie in her kitchen, the slightly older Charlie who looks mildly amused. ]
And there you have it. This weeks video. Again, I'm sorry I don't have anything to cook, but I'm worn the fuck out. Until then, everybody, keep being awesome! Bye!
[ Her current end music plays as Charlie waves goodbye to the camera. End video. ]

And the next thing you know you're rubbing elbows with actual legends. Holy crap. You know what this means, right?

I don't...know. Explain. It's...not quite where I wanted to go, but I mean...it's still cool.
