Happy Halloween!

We're delighted to bring you this year's Halloween Special: Can Video Games Cure Fear?

Every year we go to Halloween Horror Nights, and you may remember Gav struggles with it a little more than Krupa.

This year we wanted to try make things different. So we spent two months trying to reduce Gav's susceptibility to fear using video games and some 'science'...

Enjoy, spooky slugs!

That's Thursday evening sorted. Cheers lads, can't wait to jump in.

George Brown

Such a bold pivot in content - cant wait to get into this one lads.

Neil Tillotson

This is truly special lads. Always look forward to the Halloween stream but think this is up there with your best stuff! Also, 3 Ways: Don't Scream is a must!

Richard Field

Love the quality of this - also pissing myself watching Gav get scared - this is gold lads!

Carl Bridgewood

As someone who is very jumpy with certain stimulus I found this a fascinating look into it. Excellent idea for a video and marvellously put together. Hopefully Gav can get a bit of a break from the jump scares for a bit 😂 Well done to everyone involved

Daniel Curran

This is brilliant. Well done boys, hard work always pays off ahah.

Gav, don't beat yourself up. I am not easily scared, but jump scares are shit. It's good to be afraid of things that pop into view surprisingly. Let's just wait a few years and see how Krupa gets murdered by a guy hiding in the closet while you run away out of fear! But, you could get better at not scaring yourself with doors 😉

I have always struggled to play or watch horror games and films. For me, it's always been the fear of the periphery—not what is 'scary' on screen but my unease with how the film or game affects my perception of my own reality. Although not pure horror so to speak, my experience of playing Half-Life Alyx in VR is a very different experience. There are parts of the game which are intensely horror, pitch-black spaces, zombies wandering around, limited ammo, and of course the added intensity of VR. However, being in complete control, and having no periphery of my reality doesn't scare me in the slightest. I have a greater fear reaction playing on a monitor than in immersive VR, the opposite of what I would expect.

alright.. stop the polls... the race for the best video on the internet has been decided. this is absolutely brilliant and I loved every second of it! The only thing I missed was Daniel going through the experiments as well as a control group kinda.. but maaaaaybe that could be waiting for us some time in the future? :)

Daniel Howlett

3 mins in and I reckon that first scare would have given me a heart attack! Is Gav’s jumpiness above average or is Krupa’s immunity to jump scares out of this world?

Jonathan Cox

Great job with that lads!! Great watch

Matthew Edwards

This was fantastic, loved every minute ♥

Vikki Greer

This was so good! Quick question - is there no roundtable hold quiz?

Roberto Padovani

15 minutes in and I've been cracking up the whole time. This is excellent 🤣
