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.

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.

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.

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 damn it. The throwing did not work. The throwing did not work. These guys are going to shoot me.
