Hello, listener, and welcome to Chronically Low
Competence, an audio -only Let's Play podcast.
I'm your host, Dan. Welcome back. Thanks for
joining me again. This time, we're going to be
picking up right where we left off with Superhot
VR, which, as you may recall, was me frantically
grabbing a pyramid as a helicopter came careening
toward me. So we're going to find out what happened
next there. Before we dive in, though, real quick,
listening back to the last episode, I am now
very self -conscious about the little, eh. noise
I apparently make when throwing things in VR.
I really hope I don't do that in real life. That
is a new anxiety that is unlocked. Thank you
very much, podcasting. Setting that aside, I
think without any further ado, let's just dive
right back in. So here is Superhot VR. Hardware
error rebooting. I guess that was the end of
that segment. There's a I'm back in the menu
I don't I don't know who this nerd is. I don't
know who this nerd is. So super hot disc C
let's insert that All the way in loading loading
And put on the headset. Here we go. Back in.
White space. There's a knife this time. Knife.
Oh, that guy's got a shotgun. So, I'm in an alleyway.
There are three men here. One very close with
a shotgun. Two far away behind cars. There's
a shotgun to my left. A couple bottles as well.
I'm gonna throw this knife. Throw. Got him. Let's
grab this shotgun. And his. Block. And then bring
around, and we'll just do a double fire. Like
that. Wow, the shotgun really advances time.
But I did just kill all three in one shot. Or
two shots. One on each hand. I'm going to throw
a shotgun. Throw a pistol, just in case. Never
know. And grab the pyramid. Okay. Another alleyway.
Guy with a knife in front of me. Guy with an
Uzi on a fire escape. Car behind me. Guy with
nothing to my far right. Let's punch. Grab knife.
Throw knife. Dodge bullet. Throw bottle. Yeah,
looks like bottle will work. Guy on the right
fired, but I think I can handle him. Damn. You
ever have that feeling where you're not sure
if you're awake or still dreaming? I was wrong
about the one on the left. He didn't die. All
right. So knife. Throw a shotgun guy. Grab shotgun.
Grab shotgun. Aim. Dock. Fire. That's so cool.
Yeah. That's awesome. All right. Grab the pyramid.
Okay. Bottle. Throw. Knife. Just let time advance
a little bit. And... Throw. Crouch. Bottle. Okay,
looks like the knife got the guy with the gun.
So that's good. Let's... I'm going to advance
time a little bit and grab this gun out of the
air because I want it. We're going to block these
bullets. Block. And block. And throw bottle.
Block bullets. The bottle's going to miss, but
I've got the gun now, so let's pop. Got it. Tricky.
Pyramid. Okay, guy in front of me with a shotgun.
I'm in a hallway. Guy with a shotgun to my left.
I'm actually on a balcony, it looks like. Well,
what? I'll take that shotgun, thank you. I'm
gonna pop your buddy back here. Boom. And you.
Boom. Is that it? Oh, there's a third guy coming
around the corner. Oh, shotguns only have two
rounds. Well, I can throw it. Pop. Got him. Special
delivery is the stage. I'm in an alley. There's
a car in front of me with the trunk open. Guy
with an axe running toward me. Pistol dropping
down in front of me. Two more guys in the distance.
One with an Uzi. One with a shotgun. I think,
actually, we fire at Uzi guy. And then at shotgun
guy. I imagine that right now you're feeling
a bit like Alice. Tumbling down the rabbit hole?
Nope, that was the wrong choice. Axe guy did
get me in time. All right, knife. Throw a shotgun.
Grab shotgun. Oh, I think I missed with the knife.
Okay, so shotgun. Nope. Right now, we're inside
a computer program. Try that again. Nice. Throw.
There we go. Grab both shotguns. Duck a little
bit. Aim and fire. Got him. Pyramid. Okay. Bottle
to guy with knife. Grab knife. Throw at guy with
gun. I think that missed. Bottle. Bottle. Dodge
bullet. Throw bottle. Oh, I missed again. Uh,
that's not good. Uh, okay. Can I? Yep, I can.
Grab bullets. Take that. Throw. Can I throw a
bullet? No. I can't throw a bullet. But I can
grab gun. Shoot left. Nope. Like a splinter in
your mind. That was not right. Okay. Knife. Throw
at guy with shotgun. Grab shotgun. Grab shotgun.
Aim. Duck. What? Got him. All right. Bottle.
Actually, can I just punch this guy? Pop. Yep.
Punch guy with knife. Grab knife. Let's throw
bottle and throw knife. That may not have worked
out. Let's see. Left guy just firing at me. Yep,
I am definitely gonna die. Okay, bottle. Let's
see if I can kill this guy with the handgun.
Okay, that's gonna hit. Got me. Nice. Probe.
Shotgun, shotgun. Boom. And fire. Looks like
I need to do another shot. Pop. There we go.
Can I bring a pistol with me? No, I cannot. Okay.
So, bottle, throw. Nope. Fear, doubt, and disbelief.
Free your mind. Alright. I'll be back when I
figure this out. Ignorance is bliss. Okay, I
think this might be a good run. Killed the first
guy with the knife. Killed the second guy with
the handgun with the knife. Pick up a bottle.
Now I just got the Uzi guy. Can I get this gun?
Can I get this gun? Got it! Okay, now I can bring
it up around. I'm gonna aim. He's aiming right
at me. Shit. Okay, I'm going to lean to the right
and fire. Yes! Got him. Alright. We're back,
baby. Grab the pyramid. Okay, guy in front of
me with the shotgun. Let's take that. Aim around
him. Fire shotgun. Punch him in the gut. And
again in the arm. Kill his buddy on the right.
There we go. Grab pyramid. Special delivery.
Grab the gun out of the air. It's gotta be this
guy with the axe first. Pop. Grab his axe. Other
buddy fired. But this one hasn't yet. Let's kill
the one. This is the, uh, I should mention, this
is the alley with the open car and the axe. Three
guys. Two of them with guns. I am going to shoot
the one on the right. Yep. Duck. All of their
gunfire. Yeah, looks like that'll work. And then
shoot the one on the left. Might have missed.
Let's see. Yep. Nope, got him. Grabbed the pyramid.
Okay, I'm in a room. Fluorescent lights. Three
men with guns in front of me. Bunch of dead bodies
in front of me as well. I don't see any weaponry.
One of them's running towards me. Dodge bullet.
Dodge bullet. Dodge bullet. Okay. Alright. We're
gonna matrix time this, I guess. I'm gonna duck
there. Grab the front one's gun. Ooh. Those bullets
went right over my head. He's no longer a threat,
so I'm actually gonna shoot the one on the left.
Nope. I may have to. cut some of this and come

complicated than it had to be. All right, we're
back in the void. Pistol and go. Okay, on a rooftop.

the gravestone. Pop. That did it. That one's
not too bad. Pyramid. Last words. Okay, I'm in
front of a cathedral. There are three guys with
shotguns. Really? And no weaponry. I don't think
the same trick's gonna work this time. Let me
think about this. I was just back there. Not
too bright, though. Yeah, they shot me. But I
know where I was, so I think I can pass along
a weapon. In fact, maybe I can even pass along
from here if I'm slow enough. Okay, grab Uzis.
Got those two. Grab a shotty. One on the right.
Got him. There'll be one more on the left. There
he is. Shoot him. Got him. All right. Now, I
want to throw this shotgun and this Uzi. God

did not work. These guys are going to shoot me.
