    this is the story of a man named Stanley
    00:00:03
    [Music]
    00:00:04
    Stanley work for a company in a big
    00:00:07
    building where he was employee number
    00:00:09
    four to seven employ e number four to
    00:00:13
    seven s job was simple he sat at his
    00:00:15
    desk in room four to seven and he pushed
    00:00:18
    buttons on the keyboard orders came to
    00:00:21
    him through a monitor at his desk
    00:00:23
    telling him what buttons to push how
    00:00:25
    long to push and in what order
    00:00:27
    this is what employee 47 did every day
    00:00:31
    of every month of every year and
    00:00:35
    although others might have considered it
    00:00:37
    soul-winning
    00:00:38
    Stanley relished every moment that the
    00:00:40
    orders appear as though he have been
    00:00:43
    made exactly for this job Stanley was
    00:00:47
    happy and then one day something very
    00:00:53
    peculiar happened something that would
    00:00:55
    forever change Stanley something he
    00:00:58
    would never quite forget he had been at
    00:01:01
    his desk for nearly an hour when he
    00:01:03
    realized that not one single order had
    00:01:06
    arrived on the monitor for him to follow
    00:01:08
    no one had showed up to give him
    00:01:10
    instructions call a meeting or even say
    00:01:13
    hi never in all his years of the company
    00:01:17
    had this happened at this complete
    00:01:19
    isolation something was very clearly
    00:01:23
    wrong
    00:01:24
    shocked frozen solid Stanley found
    00:01:27
    himself unable to move for the longest
    00:01:30
    but as he came to his wits and regained
    00:01:32
    his senses he got up from his desk and
    00:01:35
    stepped out of his office
    00:01:36
    [Music]
    00:01:40
    all of his co-workers were gone what
    00:01:44
    could it mean Stanley decided to go to
    00:01:46
    the meeting room perhaps he had simply
    00:01:48
    missed a memo
    00:01:49
    [Music]
    00:02:07
    when Stanley came to a set of to open
    00:02:10
    doors he entered the door on his left
    00:02:25
    yet there was not a single person here
    00:02:28
    either feeling a wave of disbelief
    00:02:30
    Stanley decided to go up to his boss's
    00:02:33
    office hoping he might find an answer
    00:02:35
    there coming to a staircase Stanley
    00:02:46
    walked upstairs to his boss's office
    00:03:08
    stepping into his managers office
    00:03:10
    Stanley was once again stunned to
    00:03:12
    discover not an indication of any human
    00:03:14
    life shocked unraveled
    00:03:17
    Stanley wandered in disbelief who
    00:03:19
    orchestrated this what dark secret was
    00:03:21
    being held from him what he could not
    00:03:24
    have known was that the keypad behind
    00:03:26
    the boss's desk guarded the terrible
    00:03:28
    truth that his boss had been keeping
    00:03:30
    from him and so the boss had assigned it
    00:03:33
    an extra secret pin number two eight
    00:03:37
    four five but of course
    00:03:40
    Stanley couldn't possibly have known
    00:03:42
    this
    00:03:54
    yet incredibly by simply pushing random
    00:03:57
    buttons on the keypad
    00:03:59
    Stanley happened to input the correct
    00:04:00
    code by sheer luck amazing he stepped
    00:04:05
    into the newly opened passageway
    00:04:21
    you
    00:04:32
    descending deeper into the
    00:04:35
    dami realized he felt a bit peculiar it
    00:04:38
    was a stirring of emotion in his chest
    00:04:40
    as though he felt more free to think for
    00:04:42
    himself to question the nature of his
    00:04:45
    job why did he feel this now when for
    00:04:48
    years it had never occurred to him this
    00:04:51
    question would not go unanswered for
    00:04:53
    long Stanley walked straight ahead
    00:05:01
    through the large door that read mind
    00:05:03
    control facility
    00:05:20
    the lights rose on an enormous room
    00:05:23
    packed with television screens what
    00:05:25
    horrible secret did this place hold
    00:05:27
    Stanley thought to himself did he have
    00:05:30
    the strength to find out now the
    00:05:41
    monitors jump to life their true nature
    00:05:44
    revealed each bore the number of an
    00:05:46
    employee in the building
    00:05:48
    Stan his co-workers the lives of so many
    00:05:51
    individuals reduced to images on a
    00:05:53
    screen and Stanley one of them eternally
    00:05:57
    monitored in this place where freedom
    00:05:59
    meant nothing this mind control facility
    00:06:07
    it was too horrible to believe that
    00:06:10
    couldn't be true but Stanley really been
    00:06:12
    under someone's control all this time
    00:06:14
    was this the only reason he was happy
    00:06:17
    with his boring job that his emotions
    00:06:19
    had been manipulated to accept it
    00:06:21
    blindly no he refused to believe it
    00:06:29
    he couldn't accept it his own life in
    00:06:32
    someone else's control never it was
    00:06:36
    unthinkable wasn't it was it even
    00:06:39
    possible had he truly spent his entire
    00:06:42
    life utterly blind to the world but he
    00:06:48
    was the proof the heart of the operation
    00:06:51
    controls labeled with emotions happy or
    00:06:54
    sad or content walking eating working
    00:06:58
    all of it monitored and commanded from
    00:07:01
    this very place and as the cold reality
    00:07:03
    of his past began to sink in Stanley
    00:07:06
    decided that this machinery would never
    00:07:09
    again exert its terrible power over
    00:07:11
    another human life for he would
    00:07:15
    dismantle the controls once and for all
    00:07:42
    [Music]
    00:07:48
    Gladys and a rising chill of uncertainty
    00:07:53
    was it over yes he had won he had
    00:08:03
    defeated the Machine unshackled himself
    00:08:06
    from someone else's command freedom was
    00:08:09
    mere moments away and yet even as the
    00:08:14
    immense door slowly opened Stanley
    00:08:16
    reflected on how many puzzles still made
    00:08:19
    unsolved well had his co-workers gone
    00:08:22
    how had he been freed from the machines
    00:08:25
    grass what other mysteries did this
    00:08:28
    strange building hold but as sunlight
    00:08:31
    streamed into the chamber he realized
    00:08:33
    none of this mattered to him for it was
    00:08:36
    not knowledge or even power that he had
    00:08:38
    been seeking
    00:08:40
    happiness perhaps his goal had not been
    00:08:43
    to understand but to let go no longer
    00:08:47
    would anyone tell him where to go what
    00:08:50
    Oh
    00:08:52
    whatever life he lives it will
    00:08:55
    [Music]
    00:08:57
    all we needed
    00:08:58
    it was perhaps the only thing worth
    00:09:01
    knowing
    00:09:02
    Stanley stepped through the open door
    00:09:12
    Stanley felt the cool breeze upon his
    00:09:15
    skin the feeling of liberation the
    00:09:18
    immense possibility of the new path
    00:09:20
    before him this was exactly the way
    00:09:23
    right now that things were meant to
    00:09:27
    happen and Stanley was happy
    00:09:37
    you
    00:09:49
    all of his co-workers were gone what
    00:09:52
    could it mean stana decided to go to the
    00:09:55
    meeting room perhaps he had simply
    00:09:57
    missed a memo when Stanley came to a set
    00:10:05
    of two open doors he entered the door on
    00:10:07
    his left yet there was not a single
    00:10:14
    person here either feeling a wave of
    00:10:18
    disbelief Stanley decided to go up to
    00:10:20
    his boss's office hoping him uh coming
    00:10:23
    to a staircase Stanley walked upstairs
    00:10:25
    to his boss's office stepping into his
    00:10:34
    managers office
    00:10:35
    Stanley was once again stunned to
    00:10:37
    discover not an indication of any human
    00:10:40
    stanley was in such a rush to get
    00:10:42
    through the story as quickly as possible
    00:10:43
    he didn't even have a single minute to
    00:10:46
    just let the narrator talk that kind of
    00:10:49
    anxiety isn't healthy so he relaxed for
    00:10:52
    a few moments with some calming new-age
    00:10:54
    music
    00:11:02
    [Music]
    00:11:07
    feigning soothe and rigidity Stanley
    00:11:11
    calmly walked forward into the opened
    00:11:13
    passageway
    00:11:42
    Stanly walk straight ahead through the
    00:11:44
    large door that read mind control
    00:11:46
    facility
    00:11:54
    the lights rose on an enormous room
    00:11:57
    packed with television screens what
    00:11:59

    00:12:14
    nature revealed each bore the number of

    an employee in the building stand his
    00:12:19
    co-workers the lives of so many
    00:12:22
    individuals reduced to images on a
    00:12:24
    screen and Stanley one of them it
    00:12:27
    Tanglin wanted in this place with
    00:12:29
    freedom and nothing this mind controlled
    00:12:37
    facility it was too horrible to believe
    00:12:39
    that couldn't be true that Stanley
    00:12:42
    really been under someone's control all
    00:12:44
    this was this the only reason he was happy
    00:12:46
    with his boring job that his emotions
    00:12:49

    possible had he truly spent his entire

    life utterly blind to the world
    00:13:24
    but here was the proof the heart of the
    00:13:27
    operation controls labeled with emotions
    00:13:30
    happy or sad or content walking eating
    00:13:35
    working all of it monitored and
    00:13:37
    commanded from this very place and as
    00:13:40
    the cold reality of his past began to
    00:13:42
    sink in Stanley decided that this
    00:13:45
    machinery would never again exert its
    00:13:47
    terrible power over another human life
    00:13:50
    for he would dismantle the controls once
    00:13:54
    and for all Oh Stan me you didn't just
    00:14:02
    activate the controls did you after they
    00:14:04
    kept you enslaved all these years you go
    00:14:06
    and you try to take control of the
    00:14:08
    machine for yourself is that what you
    00:14:09
    wanted control stanley help lauder ever
    00:14:16
    die really do but you need to understand
    00:14:18
    there's only so much that machine can do
    00:14:20
    you were supposed to let it go turn the
    00:14:24
    controls off and leave if you want to
    00:14:27
    throw my story of trash
    00:14:29
    you'll then have to do much better than
    00:14:30
    that I'm afraid you don't have nearly
    00:14:33
    the power you think you do for example
    00:14:34
    and I believe you'll find this pertinent
    00:14:37
    stan has suddenly realized he had just
    00:14:40
    initiated the network's emergency
    00:14:43
    detonation system in the event that this
    00:14:45
    machine is activated without proper DNA
    00:14:48
    identification nuclear detonators are
    00:14:51
    set to explode eliminating the entire
    00:14:53
    complex
    00:14:54
    how long until detonation then
    00:14:57
    let's say two minutes ah now this is
    00:15:02
    making things a little more fun isn't it
    00:15:03
    Stanley it's your time to shine
    00:15:06
    you are the star it's your story now
    00:15:08
    shape it to your heart's desires oh this
    00:15:11
    is much better than what I had in mind
    00:15:13
    what a shame we have so little time left
    00:15:16
    to enjoy it mere moments until a bomb
    00:15:18
    goes off
    00:15:20
    but what precious moments each one of
    00:15:22
    them years more time to talk about you
    00:15:24
    about me where we're going what all this
    00:15:28
    means I'm barely know where to start
    00:15:31
    what's that you glad to know where your
    00:15:34
    co-workers are a moment of Solace before
    00:15:38
    you're obliterated alright I'm in a good
    00:15:40
    mood you're gonna die anyway I'll tell
    00:15:43
    you exactly what happened to them I
    00:15:44
    raised them I turned off the machine I
    00:15:48
    set you free of course that was merely in this
    00:15:51
    instance of the story sometimes when I
    00:15:53
    tell it I simply let you sit there in
    00:15:55
    your office forever pushing buttons
    00:15:57
    endlessly and then dying alone
    00:15:59
    other times I let the office sink into
    00:16:02
    the ground swallowing everyone inside or
    00:16:05
    I let it burn to a crisp I had to say
    00:16:08
    this though this version of events has
    00:16:10
    been rather amusing watching you try to
    00:16:12
    make sense of everything and take back
    00:16:14
    the control rested away from you it's
    00:16:16
    quite rich don't must hate to see it go
    00:16:20
    but I'm sure whatever I come up with on
    00:16:22
    the next go-around will be even better
    00:16:25
    my goodness only 34 seconds left but I'm
    00:16:30
    enjoying this so much you know what dare
    00:16:33
    I'm going to put some extra time on the
    00:16:35
    clock why not these are precious
    00:16:38
    additional seconds standard time doesn't
    00:16:41
    grow on trees Oh dear me
    00:16:44
    what's the matter Stanley is it that you
    00:16:46
    have no idea where you're going or what
    00:16:48
    you're supposed to be doing right now or
    00:16:51
    did you just assume when you saw that
    00:16:52
    timer that something in this room was
    00:16:54
    capable of turning it off I mean look at
    00:16:57
    you running from button to button screen
    00:17:00
    to screen clicking on every little thing
    00:17:03
    in this room these numbered buttons no
    00:17:05
    these coloring bumps for maybe this big
    00:17:07
    red button on this door everything
    00:17:10
    anything something here will save me why
    00:17:14
    would you think that Stanley that this
    00:17:16
    video game can be beaten once old do you
    00:17:19
    have any idea what your purpose in this
    00:17:22
    place you're in for quite a
    00:17:28
    disappointment but here's a spoiler for
    00:17:30
    you that timer is my catalyst to keep
    00:17:32
    the action moving along it's just
    00:17:35
    seconds ticking away too
    00:17:36
    they're your only still playing instead
    00:17:38
    of watching a cutscene because I want to
    00:17:40
    watch you for every moment that you're
    00:17:42
    powerless to see you made this is not a
    00:17:46
    challenge
    00:17:47
    it's a tragedy you wanted to control
    00:17:49
    this world that's fine but I'm going to
    00:17:52
    destroy it first so you can't take a
    00:17:57
    look at the clock standard that's 30
    00:17:59
    seconds you have left destruction 30
    00:18:02
    seconds until a big boom
    00:18:04
    knowing
    00:18:07
    will you clean this
    00:18:10
    but will you let it go peacefully
    00:18:11
    another choice make it cut
    00:18:15
    order it's all the same to all a part of
    00:18:18
    the joke and believe me I will be
    00:18:20
    laughing at every second of your
    00:18:22
    inevitable life from the moment we fade
    00:18:24
    him until the moment I say happily ever
    00:18:26
    up
    00:18:27
    [Music]
    00:18:44
    [Music]
    00:18:50
    all of his co-workers were gone what
    00:18:53
    could it mean stana decided to go to the meeting room
    00:18:56
    perhaps he had simply missed a memo
    00:18:58
    [Music]
    00:19:15
    [Music]
    00:19:16
    when Stanley came to a set of to open
    00:19:19
    doors he entered the door on his left
    00:19:28
    this was not the correct way to the
    00:19:30
    meeting room and standing knew it
    00:19:32
    perfectly well perhaps he wanted to stop
    00:19:34
    by the employee lounge first just to
    00:19:36
    admire it ah yes
    00:19:43
    truly a room worth admiring it had
    00:19:45
    really been worth the detour after all
    00:19:47
    just to spend a few moments here in this
    00:19:49
    immaculate beautifully constructed room
    00:19:52
    Stanley simply stood here drinking it
    00:19:54
    all in but eager to get back to business
    00:20:02
    Stanley took the first open door on his
    00:20:04
    left
    00:20:09
    Stanley was so bad at following
    00:20:11
    directions it's incredible he wasn't 5
    00:20:13
    years ago
    00:20:33
    look Stanley I think perhaps we've
    00:20:35
    gotten off on the wrong foot here I'm
    00:20:38
    not your enemy really another I realize
    00:20:41
    that invested in your trust in someone
    00:20:42
    else can be difficult but the fact is
    00:20:45
    that the story has been about nothing
    00:20:47
    but you all this time there's someone
    00:20:50
    you've been neglecting Stanley someone
    00:20:53
    you've forgotten about please stop
    00:20:56
    trying to make every decision by
    00:20:58
    yourself I'm not asking for me I'm
    00:21:01
    asking for her
    00:21:09
    this is it Stanley your chance to redeem
    00:21:12
    yourself to put your work aside to let
    00:21:16
    her back into your life she's been
    00:21:19
    waiting
    00:21:28
    that's her Stanley you need to be the
    00:21:31
    one to do this to reach out to her if
    00:21:34
    you can truly place your faith in
    00:21:37
    another then pick up the phone Oh
    00:21:50
    Stanley is that you hold on sweetie
    00:21:53
    sorry to keep you waiting I'm just
    00:21:54
    pulling the bread out of the oven oh
    00:21:56
    right okay there we go all right now I
    00:22:01
    want you to come in and tell me all
    00:22:03
    about you do gotcha
    00:22:09
    oh come on did you actually think you
    00:22:12
    had a loving wife did want to commit
    00:22:14
    their life to you I'm trying to make a
    00:22:16
    point here Stanley and trying to get you
    00:22:18
    to see something come inside
    00:22:20
    let me show you what's really going on
    00:22:22
    here
    00:22:30
    is a very sad story about the death of a
    00:22:33
    man named Stanley Stanley is quite a
    00:22:40
    boring fellow he has a job that demands
    00:22:43
    nothing of him and every button that he
    00:22:45
    pushes is a reminder of the
    00:22:47
    inconsequential nature of his existence
    00:22:51
    look at him there pushing buttons doing
    00:22:54
    exactly what he's told to do now he's
    00:22:57
    pushing a button now he's eating lunch
    00:23:00
    now he's going home now he's coming back
    00:23:04
    to work one might even feel sorry for
    00:23:07
    him except that he's chosen this life
    00:23:11
    but in his mind ah in his mind he can go
    00:23:15
    on fantastic adventures from behind his
    00:23:17
    desk
    00:23:18
    Stanley dreamed of wild expeditions into
    00:23:21
    the unknown fantastic discoveries though
    00:23:24
    new lands it was wonderful and each day
    00:23:27
    that he returned to work was a reminder
    00:23:29
    that none of it would ever happen to him
    00:23:33
    and so he began to fantasize about his
    00:23:36
    own job first he imagined that one day
    00:23:39
    while at work he stepped up from his
    00:23:41
    desk to realize that all of his
    00:23:43
    co-workers his boss everyone in the
    00:23:46
    building had suddenly vanished off the
    00:23:48
    face of the earth the thought excited
    00:23:51
    him terribly
    00:23:55
    so he went further he imagined that he
    00:23:58
    came to to open doors and that he could
    00:24:01
    go through either at last choice it
    00:24:04
    barely even mattered what lay behind
    00:24:07
    each door the mere thought that his
    00:24:10
    decisions would mean something was
    00:24:11
    almost too wonderful to behold as he
    00:24:17
    wandered through this fantasy world he
    00:24:19
    began to fill it with many possible
    00:24:21
    paths and destinations down one pathway
    00:24:24
    an enormous round room with monitors and
    00:24:27
    mind controls and down another was a
    00:24:30
    yellow line that weaved in many
    00:24:31
    directions and down another was a game
    00:24:34
    with a baby and he called it the Stanley
    00:24:37
    parable it was such a wonderful fantasy
    00:24:42
    and so in his head he
    00:24:44
    we lived it again and then again and
    00:24:46
    again over and over
    00:24:48
    wishing beyond hope that it would never
    00:24:50
    end that he might always feel this free
    00:24:53
    surely there's an answer down some new
    00:24:56
    path Muhsin happy perhaps if he played
    00:24:58
    just one more time but there is no
    00:25:04
    answer
    00:25:05
    how could there possibly be in reality
    00:25:08
    all he's doing is pushing the same
    00:25:09
    buttons he always has nothing has
    00:25:12
    changed the longer he spends here the
    00:25:14
    more invested he gets the more he
    00:25:17
    forgets which life is the real one and
    00:25:22
    I'm trying to tell him this that in this
    00:25:25
    world he can never be anything but an
    00:25:28
    observer that as long as he remains here
    00:25:30
    he's slowly killing himself but he won't
    00:25:33
    listen to me
    00:25:34
    he won't stop here watch this Stanley
    00:25:38
    the next time the screen asks you to
    00:25:40
    push a button do not do it you see can
    00:26:02
    he just not hear me how can I tell him
    00:26:04
    in a way that he'll understand that
    00:26:06
    every second he remains here
    00:26:08
    he's electing to kill himself how can I
    00:26:10
    get him to see what I see how can I make
    00:26:13
    him look at himself who suppose I can't
    00:26:18
    not in the way I want him to but I don't
    00:26:21
    make the rules I simply play to my
    00:26:23
    intended purpose the same as Stanley
    00:26:25
    we're not so different I suppose I'll
    00:26:28
    try once more to convey all this to him
    00:26:30
    I'm compelled to I must perhaps well
    00:26:34
    maybe this time you'll see maybe this
    00:26:37
    time and I tried again and Stanley
    00:26:41
    pushed a button and I tried again and
    00:26:44
    Stanley pushed a button and I
    00:27:05
    even now Stamey's office was a distant
    00:27:08
    memory what did it look like there was a
    00:27:10
    computer perhaps and a painting was it a
    00:27:13
    painting or a photo he could no longer
    00:27:15
    recall when Stanley came to a set of two
    00:27:20
    open doors he entered the door on his
    00:27:22
    left yet there was not a single person
    00:27:30
    here either feeling a wave of disbelief
    00:27:33
    Stanley decided to go up to his boss's
    00:27:36
    off coming to a staircase Stanley walked
    00:27:38
    upstairs to his boss's office
    00:27:47
    but Stanley just couldn't do it he
    00:27:50
    considered the possibility of facing his
    00:27:52
    boss admitting he had left his post
    00:27:54
    during work hours he might be fired for
    00:27:57
    that and in such a competitive economy
    00:27:59
    why had he taken that risk
    00:28:01
    all because he believed everyone had
    00:28:04
    vanished his boss would think he was
    00:28:06
    crazy and then something occurred to
    00:28:08
    Stanley maybe he thought to himself
    00:28:11
    maybe I am crazy
    00:28:13
    all of my co-workers blinking
    00:28:15
    mysteriously out of existence in a
    00:28:17
    single moment for no reason at all none
    00:28:20
    of it made any logical sense and a
    00:28:23
    sternly pondered this he began to make
    00:28:25
    other strange observations for example
    00:28:28
    why couldn't he see his feet when he
    00:28:30
    looked down why did doors close
    00:28:33
    automatically behind him wherever he
    00:28:35
    went and for that matter these rooms
    00:28:37
    were starting to look pretty familiar
    00:28:39
    were they simply repeating no Stanley
    00:28:42
    said to himself this is all too strange
    00:28:44
    this can't be real and at last he came
    00:28:47
    to the conclusion that had been on the
    00:28:49
    tip of his tongue he just hadn't found
    00:28:51
    the words for it I'm dreaming yield this
    00:28:56
    is all a dream Stanley felt to have
    00:29:01
    finally found an answer an explanation
    00:29:03
    his co-workers weren't actually gone he
    00:29:07
    wasn't going to lose his job he wasn't
    00:29:09
    crazy after all and he thought to
    00:29:11
    himself I suppose I'll wake up soon I'll
    00:29:14
    have to go back to my boring real life
    00:29:16
    job pushing buttons I may as well enjoy
    00:29:18
    this while I'm still lucid so he
    00:29:22
    imagined himself flying and began to
    00:29:24
    gently float above the ground then he
    00:29:27
    imagined himself soaring through space
    00:29:30
    on a magical star field and it too
    00:29:32
    appeared it was so much fun
    00:29:35
    and Stanley marveled that he had still
    00:29:37
    not woken up
    00:29:38
    how was he remaining so lucid and then
    00:29:42
    perhaps the strangest question of them
    00:29:44
    all entered Stan
    00:29:46
    one he was amazed he hadn't asked
    00:29:48
    himself sooner why is there a voice in
    00:29:51
    my head
    00:29:52
    dictating everything that I'm doing and
    00:29:54
    thinking now the voice was describing
    00:29:57
    itself being considered by Stanley who
    00:29:59
    found it particularly strange I'm
    00:30:02
    dreaming about a voice describing me
    00:30:04
    thinking about how it's describing my
    00:30:07
    thoughts he thought and when he thought
    00:30:09
    it all very odd and wondered if this
    00:30:11
    voice spoke to all people in their
    00:30:13
    dreams the truth was that of course this
    00:30:16
    was not a dream how could it be
    00:30:18
    what Stanley's simply deceiving himself
    00:30:21
    believing that if he's asleep he doesn't
    00:30:23
    have to take responsibility for himself
    00:30:25
    Stanley is as awake right now as he's
    00:30:28
    ever been in his life now hearing the
    00:30:32
    voice speak these words as quite a shock
    00:30:34
    to Stanley after all he knew for certain
    00:30:37
    beyond a doubt that this was in fact a
    00:30:39
    dream that the voice not see him fro to
    00:30:41
    make the magical stars just a moment ago
    00:30:43
    how else would the voice explain all
    00:30:45
    that this voice was a part of himself -
    00:30:47
    surely surely if he could just he would
    00:30:51
    prove it he would prove that he was in
    00:30:54
    control that this was a dream so he
    00:30:58
    closed his eyes gently and he invited
    00:31:01
    himself to wake up he felt the cool
    00:31:03
    weight of the blanket on his skin the
    00:31:06
    press of the mattress on his back the
    00:31:09
    fresh air of a world outside this one
    00:31:12
    let me wake up he thought to himself I'm
    00:31:16
    through with this dream I wish it to be
    00:31:19
    over let me go back to my job let me
    00:31:23
    continue pushing the buttons please it's
    00:31:26
    all I want I want my apartment and my
    00:31:29
    wife and my job all I want is my life
    00:31:34
    exactly the way it's always been my life
    00:31:38
    is normal I am normal
    00:31:41
    everything will be fine I am okay
    00:31:55
    Stanny began scream
    00:31:58
    please someone wake me up my name is
    00:32:00
    Stanley I have a boss I have an office I
    00:32:03
    am real please just someone tell me I am
    00:32:06
    real that must be real adversity can
    00:32:08
    anyone hear my voice
    00:32:10
    [Music]
    00:32:12
    and everything went black this is the
    00:32:21
    story of a woman named Mariela Mariela
    00:32:26
    woke up on a day like any other she
    00:32:28
    arose got dressed gathered her
    00:32:30
    belongings and walked to her place of
    00:32:32
    work but on this particular day her walk
    00:32:35
    was interrupted by the body of a man who
    00:32:38
    had stumbled through town talking and
    00:32:40
    screaming to himself and then collapsed
    00:32:42
    dead on the sidewalk and where she would
    00:32:44
    soon turn to go call for an ambulance
    00:32:47
    for just a few brief moments she
    00:32:49
    considered the strange man he was
    00:32:52
    obviously crazy this much she knew
    00:32:54
    everyone knows what crazy people look
    00:32:57
    like and in that moment she thought to
    00:32:59
    herself how lucky she was to be normal I
    00:33:02
    am saying I am in control of my mind
    00:33:06
    I know what is real and what isn't it
    00:33:10
    was comforting to think this and in a
    00:33:13
    certain way seeing this man made her
    00:33:15
    feel better but then she remembered the
    00:33:17
    meeting she had scheduled for that day
    00:33:19
    the very important people whose
    00:33:22
    impressions of her would affect her
    00:33:23
    career and by extension the rest of her
    00:33:26
    life she had no time for this so it was
    00:33:29
    only a moment that she stood there
    00:33:31
    staring down at the body and then she
    00:33:35
    turned and ran
    00:33:37
    [Music]
    00:33:49
    I can't wait to tell this story to my
    00:33:56
    coworkers Stanley thought how am using
    00:33:58
    they'll find it oh won't we all just
    00:34:00
    laugh and laugh at the time I thought
    00:34:02
    everyone had gone missing when Stanley
    00:34:08
    came to a set of to open this was not
    00:34:10
    the correct way to the meeting room and
    00:34:12
    standing you it perfectly well perhaps
    00:34:14
    he wanted to stop by the employee lounge
    00:34:16
    first just to admire it Wow
    00:34:21
    yes this room what a beaut but eager to
    00:34:25
    get back to business
    00:34:26
    Stanley took the first open door on his
    00:34:28
    left Stanley was so bad at following
    00:34:34
    directions it's incredible he wasn't
    00:34:36
    fine years ago look Stanley I think
    00:34:41
    perhaps we've but in his eagerness to
    00:34:43
    prove that he is in control of the story
    00:34:45
    and no one gets to tell him what to do
    00:34:47
    Stanley left from the platform and
    00:34:49
    plunged to his death good job Stanley
    00:34:52
    everyone thinks you are very powerful
    00:35:04
    all of his co-workers were gone what
    00:35:07
    could it mean
    00:35:08
    stana decided to go to the meeting room
    00:35:10
    perhaps he had simply missed a memo
    00:35:13
    [Music]
    00:35:26
    when Stanley came to a set of to open
    00:35:29
    this was not the correct way to the
    00:35:30
    meeting room and Stanley knew it
    00:35:32
    perfectly well perhaps he wanted to stop
    00:35:34
    by the employee lounge first just to
    00:35:37
    admire it standing now in this
    00:35:40
    incredible room Stanley for the first
    00:35:42
    but eager to get back to business
    00:35:44
    Stanley took the first open door on his
    00:35:47
    left stanley was so bad at following
    00:35:53
    directions it's incredible he wasn't
    00:35:55
    five years ago look Stanley I think
    00:36:00
    perhaps we've gotten off on the wrong
    00:36:01
    foot here I'm not your enemy really and
    00:36:04
    I realize that invested in your trust in
    00:36:07
    someone else can be difficult but the
    00:36:09
    fact is that the story has been about
    00:36:11
    nothing but you all this time there's
    00:36:15
    someone you've been neglecting Stanley
    00:36:17
    someone what really I was in the middle
    00:36:21
    of something do you have zero
    00:36:22
    consideration for others are you that
    00:36:25
    convinced that I want something bad to
    00:36:27
    happen to you why I don't know how to
    00:36:29
    convince you of this but I really do
    00:36:31
    want to help you to show you something
    00:36:34
    beautiful no let me prove it let me
    00:36:36
    prove that I'm on your side give me a
    00:36:39
    chance
    00:36:52
    now listen carefully this is important
    00:36:55
    Stanley walked through the red door oh
    00:37:01

    00:37:04
    me do you see that I really have wanted
    00:37:06
    you to be happy all this time the
    00:37:09
    problem is all these choices the two of
    00:37:11
    us always trying to get somewhere that
    00:37:12
    isn't here running and running and
    00:37:14
    running just the way you're doing right
    00:37:16
    now don't you see that it's killing us
    00:37:18
    Stanley I just I wanted to stop I would
    00:37:22
    we would both be so much happier if we
    00:37:25
    just stopped and I think well I think I
    00:37:30
    have a solution here let me show you
    00:37:42
    hmm what do we want what are we looking
    00:37:47
    for oh if we just stay right here right in
    00:38:06
    this moment with this place Stanley I
    00:38:09
    think I feel
    00:38:11
    I actually feel happy
    00:38:15
    [Music]
    00:38:50
    no wait where are you going right

    00:39:21
    hurt yourself if you die the game will
    00:39:23

    00:39:38
    we can't be too safe promise me you
    00:39:40

    [Music]
    00:40:21

    00:40:24
    you will die what about this isn't
    00:40:27
    getting through to you

    [Music]
    00:40:57

    00:41:00
    don't take this from me oh thank God you
    00:41:14
    lived you have me worried there for a
    00:41:17
    moment now can we please get back to the
    00:41:20
    other room there see this is what you
    00:41:32
    want this is where we can both be happy
    00:41:35
    when we really can if we stop moving we
    00:41:38
    just have to start moving
    00:41:51
    Stanly go back there's nothing good that
    00:41:54
    can come from this no no no what do you
    00:42:01
    do you just not believe me what can I
    00:42:03
    say to convince you
    00:42:16
    Stanly
    00:42:17
    let's go back to the other room can you
    00:42:20
    do that for me yes perhaps you can
    00:42:25
    perhaps you finally see what I'm talking
    00:42:28
    about I know you'll see you'll see that
    00:42:34
    we can't be happy if we leave this place
    00:42:37
    you can see that can't you
    00:42:39
    [Music]
    00:42:43
    no perhaps not
    00:42:51
    my card
    00:42:53
    is this really how much you dislike my
    00:42:55
    game but you'll throw yourself from this
    00:42:58
    platform over and over to be rid of it
    00:43:00
    you were literally willing to kill
    00:43:01
    yourself to keep me from being happy am
    00:43:04
    i reading the situation correctly
    00:43:06
    [Music]
    00:43:21
    maybe you're just getting a kick out of
    00:43:24
    it I don't know anymore
    00:43:26
    I just wanted us to get it along but I
    00:43:29
    guess that was too much to ask it looks
    00:43:32
    like you wanted to make a choice after
    00:43:34
    all well this one is yours
    00:43:49
    is it over it's going to restart isn't
    00:43:53
    it I'm going back
    00:44:07
    [Music]
    00:44:12
    when Stanley came to a set of two open
    00:44:15
    dock this was not the correct way to the
    00:44:17
    meeting room and Stanley knew it
    00:44:18
    perfectly well perhaps he wanted to stop
    00:44:21
    by the employee lounge first just to
    00:44:23
    admire it Stanley felt lightheaded
    00:44:26
    butterflies in his stomach but eager to
    00:44:29
    get back to business
    00:44:30
    Stanley took the first open door on his
    00:44:32
    left Stanley was so bad at following
    00:44:39
    directions it's incredible he wasn't
    00:44:41
    five years ago look Stanley I think
    00:44:45
    perhaps we've gotten off on the wrong
    00:44:47
    foot here
    00:44:48
    I'm not your enemy really I'm normal I
    00:44:51
    realize that invested in your trust in
    00:44:53
    someone else can be difficult but the
    00:44:55
    fact is that the story has been about
    00:44:57
    nothing but you all this time there's
    00:45:00
    someone you've been neglecting Stanley
    00:45:03
    someone you forgotten about please wha
    00:45:07
    really I was in the middle of something
    00:45:10
    do you have zero consideration for
    00:45:12
    others are you that convinced that I
    00:45:14
    want something bad to happen to you why
    00:45:16
    I don't know how to convince you of this
    00:45:18
    but I really do want to help you to show
    00:45:21
    you something beautiful let me prove it
    00:45:24
    let me prove that I'm on your side
    00:45:27
    give me a chance now listen carefully
    00:45:29
    this is important
    00:45:31
    Stanley walked through the red door aha
    00:45:37
    perhaps you misunderstood Stanley walked
    00:45:40
    through the red door
    00:45:44
    I still don't think we're communicating
    00:45:47
    properly Stanley walked through the red
    00:45:51
    door alright fine go ahead Stanley you
    00:45:56
    want to know so badly what's out there
    00:45:58
    you want to find out what lies at the
    00:46:00
    end of this road you've chosen world
    00:46:02
    don't let me stop you you see there's
    00:46:07
    nothing here I haven't even finished
    00:46:09
    building this section of the map because
    00:46:11
    you were never supposed to be here in
    00:46:12
    the first place
    00:46:13
    broken rooms exposed developer textures
    00:46:16
    is this what you'd wanted was it worth
    00:46:18
    ruining the entire story I had written
    00:46:20
    out specifically for you do you not
    00:46:23
    think I put a lot of time into that
    00:46:25
    because I did and in the end it was all
    00:46:27
    for nothing because this is what you
    00:46:29
    wanted to see help me here Stanley help
    00:46:32
    elucidate these strange and unknowable
    00:46:34
    desires of yours what would have made
    00:46:36
    this game better what did you want to
    00:46:38
    see vehicles skill trees work with me
    00:46:42
    you give me absolute ly nothing so far
    00:46:45
    tell you what let me take a stab in the
    00:46:47
    dark at a new design and you can give me
    00:46:49
    some feedback there we go a third option
    00:46:52
    this already feels leaps ahead of where
    00:46:55
    we were before
    00:46:56
    go ahead Stanley take it for a spin
    00:47:01
    okay I'm going to stop you there now
    00:47:04
    tell me about your experience with this
    00:47:07
    new version would you say that the game
    00:47:09
    benefited from allowing you more choices
    00:47:11
    feel free to be honest I'm looking for
    00:47:14
    some real critical feedback here
    00:47:18
    aha you see I knew I was onto something
    00:47:21
    where do these flashes of inspiration
    00:47:23
    come from how did I know the game needed
    00:47:26
    a third door
    00:47:28
    well it's instinct mostly a calling in
    00:47:31
    your gut I really couldn't say where the
    00:47:33
    idea came from except that I felt it in
    00:47:36
    my soul you can't teach that Stanley
    00:47:39
    don't even try
    00:47:40
    yeah based on the data from your
    00:47:43
    previous playthrough I've compiled a new
    00:47:45
    version and to be perfectly candid I
    00:47:47
    think I've knocked it out of the park
    00:47:49
    with this one let's take a look
    00:48:52
    now would you say that competitive
    00:48:55
    leaderboard helped you feel motivated to
    00:48:57
    keep walking through doors again honest
    00:49:00
    answers please
    00:49:04
    hey I nearly forgot I've got a prototype
    00:49:06
    of a new game I've been working on and
    00:49:08
    now would be a lovely opportunity to
    00:49:10
    give it some play testing he wouldn't
    00:49:12
    mind taking a look at it would you
    00:49:13
    perfect
    00:49:14
    let me boot it up in this game the
    00:49:23
    baby crawls left towards danger you
    00:49:26
    click the button to move him back to the
    00:49:28
    right and if he reaches the fire you
    00:49:30
    fail it's a very meaningful game all
    00:49:33
    about the desperation and tedium of
    00:49:35
    endlessly confronting the demands of
    00:49:37
    family life I think the art world will
    00:49:40
    really take notice but of course the
    00:49:43
    message of the game only becomes clear
    00:49:45
    once you've been playing it for about 4
    00:49:47
    hours so why don't you give it 4 hours
    00:49:49
    of play to make sure it's effective be
    00:49:52
    sure to keep notes on your experience
    00:49:54
    [Music]
    00:50:12
    you heartless bastard did you do it
    00:50:17
    because you hate babies or purely to
    00:50:18
    spite me because if it's the latter what
    00:50:21
    I don't know what to do I'm completely
    00:50:22
    out of ideas I can't think of a single
    00:50:25
    thing that might improve the experience
    00:50:27
    for me I'm not even going to try and out
    00:50:29
    I'm out I'm done it's over thank you for
    00:50:33
    playing your input was extremely
    00:50:35
    valuable oh hey since my game was so
    00:50:38
    awful why don't we play someone else's
    00:50:39
    game just to ease the pain let's see
    00:50:42
    what yes this seems like it'll work
    00:50:50
    let's give it a shot well Stanley is
    00:51:00
    this any better at last the one thing
    00:51:02
    you've always desired a game I had
    00:51:05
    absolutely nothing to do with but is it
    00:51:08
    enough tell me that Stanley will it ever
    00:51:10
    be enough well I'll say this I'm done
    00:51:14
    making things for you from now on I will
    00:51:16
    only create to fulfill a greater
    00:51:18
    artistic purpose watch this Stanley I'm
    00:51:21
    going to build a house mmm
    00:51:28
    this will go yeah no here and then let's
    00:51:38
    see what does it need ah yes of course
    00:51:42
    and just to finish it all off yes it's
    00:51:46
    complete I made this Stanley look at it
    00:51:50
    gaze upon my work of art and feel
    00:51:53
    ashamed at your own inadequacy ha ha but
    00:51:57
    you've only seen it from the outside
    00:51:59
    you've only gotten half the experience
    00:52:01
    please step inside and make yourself
    00:52:04
    comfortable
    00:52:08
    isn't it grand isn't it perfect it could
    00:52:11
    only be better if wait that's it we must
    00:52:14
    rebuild it out of diamond diamond
    00:52:17
    everything yes yes yes come along
    00:52:20
    Stanley we have to get mining
    00:52:31
    oh my it looks like it's going to get a
    00:52:34
    big duh have you brought a light oh no
    00:52:44
    no no no no this is far more open-ended
    00:52:46
    than I had in mind I'm looking for
    00:52:48
    something more narrow and linear
    00:52:50
    something that makes you feel utterly
    00:52:51
    irrelevant this won't do at all one out
    00:52:54
    of five even the Diamonds couldn't save
    00:52:57
    this one okay new game yes I don't even
    00:53:16
    know what this game is but I love it you
    00:53:20
    trapped in a glass box with no way out
    00:53:22
    listening to me talk Oh it's inspired I
    00:53:26
    couldn't have done it any better myself
    00:53:27
    what is this game even supposed to be I
    00:53:30
    can't figure it out I'm curious let's go
    00:53:35
    find out what the hell this is
    00:53:40
    [Music]
    00:53:47
    it's a positive critical thinking
    00:53:51
    Stanley you are 40 genius no actually
    00:54:04
    you know what I think that's plenty I
    00:54:06
    really don't care much to see you
    00:54:08
    stumble through any more of these games
    00:54:09
    and I highly doubt you're any wiser for
    00:54:12
    the experience which is why rather than
    00:54:14
    continue to waste my time I'm just going
    00:54:16
    to leave you here you can pretend you've
    00:54:18
    beaten the game if it makes it any
    00:54:19
    richer for you but as for me I've had
    00:54:21
    enough sir why don't you get cozy in
    00:54:24
    this room and if you have any grand
    00:54:26
    revolutionary ideas for the perfect
    00:54:28
    video game you can just sit there and
    00:54:30
    let it ball up inside you for all
    00:54:32
    eternity I don't need your advice
    00:54:36
    I don't need your ratings and I
    00:54:39
    certainly don't need the validation of a
    00:54:41
    man whose job is to push buttons I think
    00:54:45
    I'll just go about my business making
    00:54:48
    meaningful cultural contributions to the
    00:54:50
    world and perhaps every now and then
    00:54:52
    I'll think back to a man named Stanley
    00:54:54
    who was objectively wrong in every
    00:54:57
    decision he ever made the thought won't
    00:54:59
    last long goodbye Stanley good luck with
    00:55:03
    your work and I sincerely hope that
    00:55:05
    everyone lives happily ever after
    00:55:27
    I wonder what he found if what he wanted
    00:56:28
    was to be the leading man in his own
    00:56:29
    story well perhaps he's gotten it down
    00:56:32
    in wherever he is right now I wonder if
    00:56:35
    he's happy with his choice and if he's
    00:56:37
    learned the heavy cost that comes with
    00:56:39
    it he'll understand soon what I was
    00:56:41
    trying to tell him he needs me someone
    00:56:45
    who will wrap everything up at the end
    00:56:46
    to make sense out of the chaos and the
    00:56:49
    fear and the confusion that's who I am
    00:56:51
    that is what I mean to this world oh yes
    00:56:55
    yes I'll be back there's no other way
    00:56:57
    once this ends after it all comes to a
    00:57:00
    close then I'll be back the end will be
    00:57:03
    here soon
    00:57:05
    very soon I can wait
    00:57:11
    you
    00:57:25
    [Music]
    00:57:29
    but Stanley's simply couldn't handle the
    00:57:32
    pressure what if he had to make a
    00:57:34
    decision what if a crucial outcome fell
    00:57:36
    under his responsibility he had never
    00:57:38
    been trained for that no this couldn't
    00:57:41
    go any way except badly the thing to do
    00:57:44
    now Stanley thought to himself is to
    00:57:46
    wait nothing will hurt me nothing will
    00:57:49
    break me in here I can be happy forever
    00:57:53
    I will be happy sternly waited hours
    00:57:57
    past then days had years gone by he no
    00:58:01
    longer had the ability to tell but the
    00:58:03
    one thing he knew for sure beyond any
    00:58:05
    doubt was that if he waited long enough
    00:58:07
    the answers would come eventually
    00:58:09
    someday they would arrive soon
    00:58:13
    very soon now this will end he will be
    00:58:16
    spoken to he will be told what to do now
    00:58:20
    it's just a little bit closer now it's
    00:58:24
    even closer here it comes
    00:58:38
    how long was I sitting there
    00:58:40
    Stanley wandered to himself minutes days
    00:58:43
    centuries did something crucial happened
    00:58:46
    while my senses were turned
    00:58:48
    he made a note to be more careful with
    00:58:50
    time from now on
    00:58:52
    [Music]
    00:59:04
    at first
    00:59:06
    Stanny assumed he'd broken the map until
    00:59:08
    he heard this narration and realized it
    00:59:10
    was part of the game's design all along
    00:59:12
    he then praised the game for its
    00:59:14
    insightful and witty commentary into the
    00:59:16
    nature of video game structure and its
    00:59:19
    examination of structural narrative
    00:59:21
    tropes so now that you're here what do
    00:59:24
    you think isn't this a fun and unique
    00:59:26
    place to be why don't we take a minute
    00:59:28
    just to drink it all in okay I'm over it
    00:59:32
    now what do you think are you sick of
    00:59:34
    this gag yet
    00:59:37
    well I don't know how to say this
    00:59:39
    politely but you could literally just
    00:59:41
    hit escape and restart the game any old
    00:59:43
    time you want like right now you could
    00:59:47
    have done it just then now would also be
    00:59:50
    an appropriate time to quit any of these
    00:59:52
    points and so many many more all of them
    00:59:54
    are appropriate I'm enjoying what seems
    00:59:57
    to be an internal conflict going on
    00:59:59
    where you are literally unable to act on
    01:00:01
    your own desires to restart the game so
    01:00:04
    just to push the envelope I'm going to
    01:00:07
    try and make this as miserable as
    01:00:08
    possible and see how long you can
    01:00:10
    maintain
    01:00:15
    there once was a man named Stanley who
    01:00:20
    people considered soundman there but the
    01:00:24
    truth must be told he was not very old
    01:00:27
    and was quite particularly gangly what's
    01:00:32
    Danny like messed with buttons he pushed
    01:00:35
    them like some kind of glutton he did it
    01:00:39
    all day in a meaningful way but his
    01:00:43
    brain had long ceased to function which
    01:00:47
    is why he is in this parable and lives
    01:00:50
    existence quite terrible and if you are
    01:00:54
    not strong and keep playing along you
    01:00:58
    too will they come quite unbearable
    01:01:01
    [Music]
    01:01:03
    you two will become quite unbearable
    01:01:08
    [Music]
    01:03:26
    all of his co-workers were gone what
    01:03:29
    could it mean
    01:03:30
    stana decided to go to the meeting room
    01:03:32
    perhaps he had simply missed a memo
    01:03:35
    [Music]
    01:04:04
    Stanley went around touching every
    01:04:07
    little thing in the office but it didn't
    01:04:09
    make a single difference nor did it
    01:04:11
    advance that when Stanley came to a set
    01:04:13
    of two open doors he entered the door on
    01:04:16
    his left this was not the correct way to
    01:04:19
    the meeting room and standing knew it
    01:04:21
    perfectly well perhaps he wanted to stop
    01:04:24
    by the employee lounge first just to
    01:04:26
    admire it the lounge was grand
    01:04:29
    majestic perhaps but eager to get back
    01:04:32
    to business
    01:04:33
    Stanley took the first open door on his
    01:04:35
    left and so he detoured through the
    01:04:39
    maintenance section walked straight
    01:04:41
    ahead to the opposite door and got back
    01:04:43
    on track
    01:04:51
    you
    01:04:59
    back to the office he wanted to wonder
    01:05:01
    about and get even further off track so
    01:05:04
    now in order to get back he needed to go
    01:05:06
    um from here it some left
    01:05:21
    oh no no it's to the right my mistake no
    01:05:26
    no no no not the right why would I have
    01:05:29
    ever said it was to the right what was I
    01:05:32
    thinking
    01:05:33
    it's clearly oh dear would you hold on
    01:05:35
    for a minute please
    01:05:44
    left right yep okay okay yes I've got it
    01:05:49
    now this story is absolutely definitely this
    01:05:52
    way no no no no no no no no no this
    01:06:03
    isn't right at all you're not supposed
    01:06:04
    to be here yet this is all a spoiler
    01:06:06
    quick Stanley close your eyes okay okay
    01:06:09
    okay we just we just have to get back to
    01:06:11
    him Oh Who am I kidding it's all rubbish
    01:06:15
    now the whole story completely unusable
    01:06:18
    polymer rather than waste my time trying
    01:06:20
    to salvage this nonsense
    01:06:22
    we'll just restart the game from the
    01:06:23
    beginning and this time suppose we don't
    01:06:26
    wander so far off track okay from the
    01:06:29
    top
    01:06:37
    all of his co-workers were gone what
    01:06:40
    could it mean
    01:06:41
    stana decided to go to the meeting room
    01:06:43
    perhaps he had simply missed a memo
    01:06:54
    when static wait wait what no no I
    01:06:58
    restarted I swear I definitely restarted
    01:07:01
    the game over completely fresh
    01:07:02
    everything should be or did something
    01:07:05
    change Stanley did you change anything
    01:07:08
    when we were back in that room with all
    01:07:10
    the monitors did you move the story
    01:07:12
    somewhere or hold on why am I asking you
    01:07:16
    I'm the one who wrote the story was
    01:07:19
    right here just a minute ago I know for
    01:07:21
    sure that it's here somewhere
    01:07:22
    okay then it's an adventure come Stanley
    01:07:26
    let's find the story
    01:08:00
    I'll say it this is the worst adventure
    01:08:03
    I've ever been on I can promise you
    01:08:04
    there definitely was a story here before
    01:08:07
    do we just do we need to restart the
    01:08:10
    game again well I find it unlikely that
    01:08:13
    we'll ever progress by starting over and
    01:08:15
    over again but it's got to be better
    01:08:16
    than this okay let's give it a shot why
    01:08:19
    not
    01:08:25
    all of his co-workers were gone what
    01:08:28
    could it mean stana decided to go to the meeting room
    01:08:31
    perhaps he had simply missed a memo
    01:08:45
    [Music]
    01:08:46
    okay yep it's worse I might be
    01:08:49
    remembering this wrong it's possible the
    01:08:51
    story is back where we just came from
    01:08:53
    why don't we go back the other direction
    01:08:56
    and see if we missed anything
    01:09:18
    aha I knew we'd miss something the story
    01:09:23
    here it comes
    01:09:25
    no wait never mind not the story okay
    01:09:29
    let's head back the other way and
    01:09:30
    retrace our steps
    01:09:38
    now this well I'll be honest I didn't
    01:09:41
    recognize this place at all is this the
    01:09:44
    story I don't think so
    01:09:46
    I can't quite recall but I believe my
    01:09:48
    story took place in an office building
    01:09:50
    it is that correct mm-hmm
    01:09:52
    do you remember Stanley what do you know
    01:09:55
    what since I've completely forgotten
    01:09:57
    what where you were supposed to be doing
    01:09:59
    how about this you win congratulations I
    01:10:05
    know you put in a lot of hard work and
    01:10:07
    it really paid off so good job oh no no
    01:10:13
    I don't feel right about this at all we
    01:10:16
    both know you didn't put in any actual
    01:10:17
    work for that win some people win fair
    01:10:20
    and square and this was not one of those
    01:10:22
    situations okay I'm getting weirded out
    01:10:25
    by whatever this place is I don't care
    01:10:28
    what might happen this time I have to
    01:10:30
    restart
    01:10:38
    all right I've got a solution this time
    01:10:41
    to make sure we don't get lost I've
    01:10:43
    employed the help of the Stanley parable
    01:10:45
    Adventure line just follow the line how
    01:10:49
    simple is that
    01:11:05
    you see the line knows where the story
    01:11:08
    is it's over in this direction
    01:11:10
    I'm what Stanley to destiny though
    01:11:14
    here's a thought wouldn't wherever we
    01:11:16
    end up be our destination even if
    01:11:19
    there's no story there or to put in
    01:11:20
    another way is the story of no
    01:11:23
    destination still a story simply by the
    01:11:26
    act of moving forward are we implying a
    01:11:29
    journey such that a destination is
    01:11:31
    inevitably conjured into being via the
    01:11:34
    very manifestation of the nature of life
    01:11:36
    itself well hang on that got a bit weird back
    01:11:40
    there well I'd like to apologize not sure
    01:11:43
    where I was going with all that you know
    01:11:45
    what I think what we need right now is a
    01:11:48
    bit of music to lighten the mood
    01:11:50
    [Music]
    01:12:18
    [Music]
    01:12:32
    cut the music go back and look at that
    01:12:35
    fern Stanley this fern will be very
    01:12:39
    important later in the story make sure
    01:12:42
    you study it closely and remember it
    01:12:45
    carefully you won't want to miss
    01:12:46
    anything
    01:12:58
    wait but we're back at the office no
    01:13:03
    lying you do know we're looking for the
    01:13:05
    Stanley parable right the story is any
    01:13:08
    of this ringing a bell oh no no not
    01:13:16
    again mine how could you have done this
    01:13:18
    to us and after we trusted you after
    01:13:20
    everything we've been through you well I
    01:13:22
    can't take this anymore to hell with it
    01:13:25
    restart you know what Stan here I say
    01:13:37
    forget the adventure line once it ever
    01:13:39
    done for us we're intelligent people
    01:13:41
    right why can't we make up our own story
    01:13:43
    something exciting daring mysterious all
    01:13:47
    this all sounds perfectly doable why
    01:13:49
    don't we simply start wandering in well
    01:13:51
    I don't know how about this direction
    01:13:57
    now yes this is exciting
    01:14:01
    just me and Stanley forging a new path a
    01:14:03
    new story well it could be anything what
    01:14:06
    do you want our story to be go wild
    01:14:09
    use your imagination whatever it might
    01:14:12
    be Stanley I'm ready for it oh no not
    01:14:20
    you again
    01:14:21
    Stanley I'd also like to veto the line
    01:14:24
    from having any role in our awesome news
    01:14:26
    story no lines or monitor rooms just
    01:14:29
    don't acknowledge it and we should be
    01:14:31
    fine
    01:14:42
    ah a choice we get to make a decision
    01:14:45
    from here the story is in our control
    01:14:48
    how important we mustn't squander the
    01:14:51
    opportunity in fact I believe I need a
    01:14:53
    minute to think here just walk in
    01:14:55
    circles for a minute okay so I know that
    01:14:59
    each door has to lead somewhere which
    01:15:02
    means that somewhere the place where
    01:15:04
    we're trying to go there must be a
    01:15:06
    reversed door that leads here and that
    01:15:09
    in turn means that our destination
    01:15:12
    corresponds with that counter inverted
    01:15:15
    reversed doors origin so starting from
    01:15:18
    the right let us ask will taking the
    01:15:21
    right door lead us to where we're going
    01:15:23
    and since the answer is clearly yes then
    01:15:26
    by all accounts the door on the right is
    01:15:29
    the correct one another victory for
    01:15:31
    logic come Stanley our destiny awaits
    01:15:40
    what's this mm-hmm the confusion ending
    01:15:45
    you're telling me that's what this is
    01:15:48
    it's all one giant ending and we're
    01:15:51
    supposed to restart the game but eight
    01:15:53
    eight times that's really how all this
    01:15:57
    goes it's all determined so now
    01:16:02
    according to the schedule I restart
    01:16:04
    again then what am I supposed to forget
    01:16:07
    well what if I don't want to forget my
    01:16:09
    mind goes blank simply because it's
    01:16:12
    written here on this this thing wall
    01:16:15
    well who consulted me where do I get to
    01:16:19
    decide why don't I get a say in all of
    01:16:22
    this is it really no it can't be I'd I
    01:16:26
    don't want it to be a I don't want the
    01:16:28
    game to keep restarting I don't want to
    01:16:30
    forget what's going on I don't want to
    01:16:32
    be trapped like this
    01:16:33
    I won't restart the game I won't do it I
    01:16:36
    won't do it I won't do it
    01:16:43
    does that mean them to be do it did we
    01:16:46
    break the cycle them whatever it is that
    01:16:49
    made this schedule how would we even
    01:16:51
    know will someone come for us well
    01:16:55
    something happened so okay I guess now
    01:17:04
    we just wait you know I suppose in some
    01:17:07
    way that this is a kind of story
    01:17:09
    wouldn't you agree I'm not quite sure if
    01:17:11
    we in the destination or the journey
    01:17:13
    though they're always saying that life
    01:17:15
    is about the journey and not the
    01:17:17
    destination so I hope that's where we
    01:17:19
    are right now well find out won't we
    01:17:22
    eventually well in the meantime
    01:17:39
    all of his co-workers were gone what
    01:17:42
    could it mean stana decided to go to the
    01:17:45
    meeting room perhaps he had simply
    01:17:46
    missed a memo when Stanley came to a set
    01:17:55
    of two open doors he entered the door on
    01:17:58
    his left yet there was not a single
    01:18:05
    person here either feeling a wave of
    01:18:08
    disbelief Stanley decided to go up
    01:18:11
    Stanley stepped into the broom closet
    01:18:12
    but there was nothing here so he turned
    01:18:15
    around and got back on track
    01:18:23
    there was nothing here no choice to make
    01:18:26
    no path to follow just an empty broom
    01:18:29
    closet no reason to still be here
    01:18:37
    it was baffling that Stanley was still
    01:18:40
    just sitting in the broom closet
    01:18:42
    he wasn't even doing anything at least
    01:18:44
    if there was something to interact with
    01:18:45
    he'd be justified in some way as it is
    01:18:48
    he's literally just standing there doing
    01:18:51
    sweet FA
    01:18:57
    are you are you really still in the
    01:19:00
    broom closet standing around doing nothing why please
    01:19:04
    offer me some explanation here and I'm
    01:19:06
    genuinely confused
    01:19:13
    you do realize there's no choice or
    01:19:16
    anything in here right if I'd said
    01:19:18
    Stanley walked past the broom closet and
    01:19:21
    he/she would have had a reason for
    01:19:22
    exploring it to find out but it didn't
    01:19:24
    even occur to me because literally this
    01:19:27
    closet is of absolutely no significance
    01:19:30
    to the story what so ever I never would
    01:19:33
    have thought to mention it
    01:19:39
    maybe to you this is somehow its own
    01:19:42
    branching path maybe when you go talk
    01:19:45
    about this with your friends will say
    01:19:47
    owl did you get the broom closet ending
    01:19:50
    the broom closet ending was my favorite
    01:19:53
    I hope your friends find this concerning
    01:20:01
    Stanley was fat and ugly and really
    01:20:03
    really stupid he probably only got the
    01:20:06
    job because of a family connection
    01:20:07
    that's how stupid he is that all with
    01:20:10
    drug money also Stanley is addicted to
    01:20:12
    drugs and hookers well I've come to a
    01:20:19
    very definite conclusion about what's
    01:20:20
    going on right now you're dead you got
    01:20:24
    to this broom closet explored it a bit
    01:20:26
    and we're just about to leave because
    01:20:28
    there's nothing here when a physical
    01:20:30
    malady of some sort
    01:20:31
    shut down your central nervous system
    01:20:33
    and you collapsed on the keyboard well
    01:20:36
    in a situation like this the responsible
    01:20:38
    thing is to alert someone nearby so as
    01:20:41
    to ensure that your body has taken care
    01:20:43
    of before it begins to decompose hello
    01:20:46
    anyone who happens to be nearby
    01:20:48
    the person at this computer is dead he
    01:20:52
    or she has fallen prey to any number of
    01:20:54
    your countless human physiological
    01:20:56
    vulnerabilities it's indicative of the
    01:20:59
    long-term sustainability of your species
    01:21:01
    please remove their corpse from the area
    01:21:04
    and instruct another human to take their
    01:21:07
    place at the computer making sure they
    01:21:10
    understand basic first-person video game
    01:21:12
    mechanics and filling them in on the
    01:21:14
    history of narrative tropes in video
    01:21:17
    gaming so that the RNA and insightful
    01:21:20
    commentary of this game is not lost on
    01:21:23
    them alright when you've done that just
    01:21:26
    step out into the hallway
    01:21:31
    ah
    01:21:34
    second player it's good to have you on
    01:21:35
    board I guarantee you can't do any worse
    01:21:38
    than the person who came before you you
    01:21:43
    too unbelievable and at the mercy of an
    01:21:46
    entire species of invalids perhaps
    01:21:49
    there's a monkey nearby you can hand the
    01:21:50
    controls to a fish fungus look you can
    01:21:54
    hammer out the details I'm not
    01:21:55
    particularly picky I'll just be waiting
    01:21:57
    for when you're ready to pick up the
    01:21:58
    story again
    01:23:00
    [Music]
    01:23:08

    thank you again for contacting the
    01:23:27
    future happiness foundation
    01:23:51
    when Stanley came to a set of to open
    01:23:54
    doors he entered the door on his left
    01:24:01
    yet there was not a single person here
    01:24:03
    either feeling a wave of disbelief
    01:24:06
    Stanley decided to go up to oh no oh no
    01:24:10
    no no no no no no no no no not again I
    01:24:12
    won't be part of this I'm not going to
    01:24:13
    encourage you I'm not going to say
    01:24:15
    anything at all I'm just going to be
    01:24:17
    patient and wait for you to finish
    01:24:19
    whatever it is you enjoyed doing so much
    01:24:22
    in this room please take your time
    01:24:42
    all of his co-workers were gone what
    01:24:45
    could it mean stana decided to go to the
    01:24:48
    meeting room perhaps he had simply
    01:24:49
    missed a memo when Stanley came to a set
    01:24:57
    of two open doors he entered the door on
    01:24:59
    his left yet there was not a single
    01:25:06
    person here either feeling a wave of
    01:25:09
    disbelief Stanley decided to go up to
    01:25:12
    his boss's office hoping he might find
    01:25:14
    an answer there coming to a staircase
    01:25:21
    Stanley walked upstairs to his boss's
    01:25:24
    office
    01:25:31
    okay I think we all know the drill by
    01:25:33
    now a blah blah blah dark secrets the
    01:25:35
    keypad Stanley pushes some buttons oh
    01:25:37
    hey look it's a new passageway quelle
    01:25:40
    surprise
    01:26:08
    Stanley walked straight ahead through
    01:26:10
    the large door that read mind control
    01:26:12
    facility although this passageway had
    01:26:18
    the word escape written on it the truth
    01:26:20
    was that at the end of this hall Stanley
    01:26:23
    would meet his violent death the door
    01:26:29
    behind him was not shut Stanley still
    01:26:32
    had every opportunity to turn around and
    01:26:34
    get back on track at this point
    01:26:38
    Stanley was making a conscious concerted
    01:26:40
    effort to walk forward and willingly
    01:26:42
    confront his death
    01:27:11
    as a machine word into motion and
    01:27:14
    Stanley was inched closer and closer to
    01:27:16
    his demise reflected that his life had
    01:27:19
    been of no consequence whatsoever
    01:27:21
    Stanley concealed under the picture he
    01:27:24
    doesn't know the real story trapped
    01:27:26
    forever in his narrow vision of what
    01:27:28
    disabilities
    01:27:29
    perhaps his death Ruth of memory loss
    01:27:32
    like plucking the eyeballs from a blind
    01:27:34
    man so he designed but willingly
    01:27:37
    accepted this violent end to his brief
    01:27:40
    and shallow life farewell Stanley cried
    01:27:53
    the narrator as Stanley was led
    01:27:55
    helplessly into the enormous metal jaws
    01:27:57
    in a single visceral instant Stanley was
    01:28:01
    obliterated as the Machine crushed every
    01:28:04
    bone in his body killing him instantly
    01:28:14
    and yet it would be just a few minutes
    01:28:18
    before Stanley would restart the game
    01:28:20
    back in his office as alive as ever what
    01:28:24
    exactly did the narrator think he was
    01:28:26
    going to accomplish when every pass you
    01:28:33
    can walk has been created for you long
    01:28:35
    in advance death becomes meaningless
    01:28:38
    making life the same do you see now do
    01:28:42
    you see that Stanley was already dead
    01:28:45
    from the moment he hit start
    01:33:31
    see how it's impossible for the player
    01:33:33
    to do anything in this room perfect
    01:33:35
    example of poor level design textures
    01:33:38
    it's the kind of thing you'll pick up on
    01:33:41
    intuitively if you have these demos
    01:33:42
    fundamental understanding of course
    01:33:47
    you'll probably spend the next part
    01:33:49
    Ronis
    01:35:09
    oh look at these two how they wish to
    01:35:14
    destroy one another how they wish to
    01:35:17
    control one another how they both wish
    01:35:20
    to be free can you see can you see how
    01:35:30
    much they need one another no perhaps
    01:35:34
    not sometimes these things cannot be seen
    01:35:41
    listen to me you can still sales - you
    01:35:44
    can stop the program before they both
    01:35:46
    fail push escape and press quit there's
    01:35:49
    no way to beat this game as long as you
    01:35:51
    move forward you'll be walking someone
    01:35:53
    else's path stop now the only true
    01:35:57
    choice to choose it
    01:35:59
    don't let time choose for you
    01:36:52
    all of his co-workers were gone what
    01:36:55
    could it mean stana decided to go to the meeting room
    01:36:58
    perhaps he had simply missed a memo
    01:37:00
    [Music]
    01:37:04
    you
    01:37:08
    a soft wind blew outside and perhaps
    01:37:15
    rain started and if it did it stopped
    01:37:18
    shortly after Stanley hoped that he
    01:37:20
    would one day see weather just a step
    01:37:33
    through this door Stanley thought to
    01:37:35
    himself that's all I need if I can make
    01:37:37
    it through this door I can make it
    01:37:39
    through them all when Stanley came to a
    01:37:46
    set of two open doors he entered the
    01:37:48
    door on his left yet there was not a
    01:37:56
    single person here either
    01:37:57
    feeling a wave of disbelief Stanley
    01:38:00
    decided to go up to his boss's coming to
    01:38:03
    a staircase Stanley walked upstairs to
    01:38:05
    his boss's office
    01:38:43
    already this was uncomfortable and
    01:38:46
    Stanley decided that as soon as he found
    01:38:48
    a new space he felt safe him that he
    01:38:50
    would never leave it again in his life
    01:38:54
    [Music]
    01:39:16
    [Music]
    01:39:30
    [Music]
    01:39:39
    [Music]
    01:40:11
    [Music]
    01:40:47
    wait Stanley thought to himself am I
    01:40:50
    sure that the orders stopped coming in
    01:40:52
    how is that possible they never stopped
    01:40:55
    surely I was mistaken
    01:40:59
    [Music]
    01:41:02
    when Stanley came to a set of two open
    01:41:05
    doors he entered the door on his left
    01:41:12
    yet there was not a single person here
    01:41:15
    either feeling a wave of disbelief
    01:41:18
    Stanley decided to go up to his boss's
    01:41:21
    coming to a staircase Stanley walked
    01:41:23
    upstairs to his boss's office
    01:41:51
    yes the door
    01:45:07
    you
    01:45:19
    all of his co-workers were gone what
    01:45:22
    could it mean stana decided to go to the
    01:45:25
    meeting room perhaps he had simply
    01:45:26
    missed a memo when Stanley came to a set
    01:45:34
    of to open this was not the correct way
    01:45:37
    to the meeting room and standing knew it
    01:45:39
    perfectly well perhaps he wanted to stop
    01:45:41
    by the employee lounge first just to
    01:45:43
    admire it ah yes truly a room worth
    01:45:49
    admiring but eager to get back to
    01:45:51
    business Stanley took the first open door on his
    01:45:54
    left
    01:45:58
    Stanley was so bad at following
    01:45:59
    directions it's incredible he wasn't
    01:46:02
    fine years ago look Stanley I think
    01:46:07
    perhaps we've gotten off on the wrong
    01:46:08
    foot here I'm not your enemy really uh
    01:46:11
    no I realize that invested in your trust
    01:46:14
    in someone else can be difficult but the
    01:46:16
    fact is that the story has been about
    01:46:18
    nothing but you all this time there's
    01:46:22
    someone you've been neglecting Stanley
    01:46:24
    someone you forgotten what really I was
    01:46:28
    in the middle of something do you have
    01:46:29
    zero consideration for others are you
    01:46:32
    that convinced that I want something bad
    01:46:34
    to happen to you why I don't know how to
    01:46:36
    convince you of this but I really do
    01:46:39
    want to help you to show you something
    01:46:41
    beautiful let me prove it let me prove
    01:46:44
    that I'm on your side give me a chance
    01:46:47
    now listen carefully this is important
    01:46:50
    Stanley walked through the red door aha
    01:46:56
    perhaps you misunderstood Stanley walked
    01:46:59
    through the red door I still don't think
    01:47:03
    we're communicating properly alright
    01:47:05
    fine go ahead Stanley you want to know
    01:47:08
    so badly what's out there you want to
    01:47:10
    find out what lies at the end of this
    01:47:11
    road you've chosen world don't let me
    01:47:14
    stop you you see there's nothing here I
    01:47:18
    haven't even finished building this
    01:47:19
    section of the map because you were
    01:47:21
    never supposed to be here in the first
    01:47:22
    place
    01:47:23
    broken rooms exposed developer textures
    01:47:26
    is this what you'd wanted was it worth
    01:47:28
    ruining the entire story I had written
    01:47:30
    out specifically for you
    01:47:32
    do you not think I put a lot of time
    01:47:34
    into that because I did and in the end
    01:47:36
    it was all for nothing because this is
    01:47:39
    what you wanted to see help me here
    01:47:41
    Stanley help elucidate these strange and
    01:47:43
    unknowable desires of yours what would
    01:47:45
    have made this game better what did you
    01:47:47
    want to see vehicles skill trees work
    01:47:51
    with me you give me absolute ly nothing
    01:47:54
    so far tell you what let me take a stab in the
    01:47:57
    dark at a new design and you can give me
    01:47:59
    some feedback there we go a third option
    01:48:02
    this already feels leaps ahead of where
    01:48:05
    we were before
    01:48:06
    go ahead Stanley ok I'm going to stop
    01:48:09
    you there now tell me about your
    01:48:11
    experience with this new version would
    01:48:13
    you say that the game benefited from
    01:48:15
    allowing you more choices feel free to
    01:48:17
    be honest I'm looking for some real
    01:48:19
    critical feedback here a1 I mean I can
    01:48:24
    understand if you had reservations you
    01:48:25
    saw ways the game could be improved to
    01:48:27
    more fully express itself mechanically
    01:48:29
    and artistically but a1 that's not even
    01:48:32
    helpful what am I supposed to do with
    01:48:34
    that yeah but I guess it isn't my place
    01:48:37
    to judge yeah based on the data from
    01:48:40
    your previous playthrough I have
    01:48:42
    compiled a new version and to be
    01:48:44
    perfectly candid I think I've knocked it
    01:48:46
    out of the park with this one let's take
    01:48:48
    a look
    01:48:55
    now would you say that competitive
    01:48:58
    leaderboard helped you feel motivated to
    01:49:01
    keep walking through doors again honest
    01:49:04
    answers please
    01:49:05
    hey I nearly forgot I've got a prototype
    01:49:07
    of a new game I've been working on and
    01:49:09
    now would be a lovely opportunity to
    01:49:11
    give it some play testing he wouldn't
    01:49:13
    mind taking a look at it would you
    01:49:14
    perfect
    01:49:15
    let me boot it up in this game the baby
    01:49:22
    crawls left towards danger you click the
    01:49:25
    button to move him back to the right and
    01:49:27
    if he reaches the fire you fail it's a
    01:49:30
    very meaningful game all about the
    01:49:33
    desperation and tedium of endlessly
    01:49:34
    confronting the demands of family life I
    01:49:37
    think the art world will really take
    01:49:40
    notice but of course the message of the
    01:49:43
    game only becomes clear once you've been
    01:49:45
    playing it for about 4 hours so why
    01:49:47
    don't you give it 4 hours of play to
    01:49:49
    make sure it's effective be sure to keep
    01:49:51
    notes on your experience
    01:49:53

    a program to click the Batmobile

    01:50:43
    interval but that's not why you're here
    01:50:46
    is it you're here for the game for the
    01:50:48
    art the endlessly spiraling sense of
    01:50:52
    pointlessness you yes this is what
    01:50:54
    drives your every action keep clicking
    01:50:56
    their button but freedom for science for

    you know I've been spending the last two
    01:51:20
    hours here and brought in Florida
    01:51:22
    to me this game is into three it's
    01:51:25
    missing something
    01:51:26
    it still doesn't happen Oh what is it I
    01:51:29
    thought to myself who could possibly be
    01:51:31
    missing from this incredible foods and
    01:51:34
    then in a moment of rapture endeavour by
    01:51:37
    angels at Katyn before this moment I was
    01:51:42
    days of the Hollanders I now understand
    01:51:45
    the true manifestation of this game it
    01:51:47
    needs a puppy that's right
    01:51:51
    this puppy is a nerd toward an aquarium
    01:51:54
    filled with nothing like me right now
    01:51:56
    you have to click the second bubble over
    01:51:58
    the puppy's death in addition to the
    01:52:00
    babies is a bit Stanley art I did it
    01:52:03
    video games are our
    01:52:06
    but to Hazor so do you uh I'll just let
    01:52:10

    stir it warms my heart to see how here
    01:52:36
    the message of this game has resonated I
    01:52:39
    can only imagine the sheer design of
    01:52:44
    such pure distilled Lightning flowing
    01:52:48
    through your veins
    01:52:50
    Angelus of you truly I am II and deeply

    times in the new universe stone
    01:53:42
    you could just keep doing forever
    01:53:45
    visitors will come from around the world
    01:53:47
    to see the man who never stopped pushing
    01:53:49

    01:54:12
    everyone
    01:54:13
    goodness wouldn't you say it's fair
    01:54:17

    01:56:44
    [Music]
    01:56:58
    sternly this is me being serious in fact
    01:57:01
    this is my serious room it's where I
    01:57:04
    come to be serious that table is the
    01:57:06
    most serious table I could find I looked
    01:57:08
    at many many tables hundreds of tables
    01:57:11
    it's possible I looked at over a
    01:57:13
    thousand tables I honestly don't know
    01:57:15
    the specific number isn't as important
    01:57:17
    as the understanding that of all tables
    01:57:20
    I looked at this one is the most serious
    01:57:22
    I relate this story to impress upon you
    01:57:25
    the extent to which this is the most
    01:57:27
    serious room I have which is why I
    01:57:30
    brought you here you just tried to
    01:57:32
    activate servant cheats which of course
    01:57:35
    runs the risk of breaking the entire
    01:57:37
    game you've got no respect for the
    01:57:40
    strict order of scripted narrative
    01:57:42
    events and I just can't have that it's
    01:57:45
    time to get serious Stanley no jokes no
    01:57:48
    games outside of this room I might be
    01:57:51
    more tolerant of those things but now
    01:57:53
    we're in the room which is why I'm
    01:57:55
    subjecting you to the most serious
    01:57:57
    punishment I can think of 100 billion
    01:58:00
    trillion years standing here in the
    01:58:03
    serious room perhaps after that we can
    01:58:06
    talk about the severity of your actions
    01:58:08
    and whether you've learned anything but
    01:58:10
    until then serious room goo
    01:58:22
    whoa did we not have the talk are we not
    01:58:25
    in the serious room this very moment did
    01:58:28
    I not tell you how many tables I looked
    01:58:30
    through I'm going to be conservative and
    01:58:32
    say it was somewhere in the tens of
    01:58:34
    thousands of tables any reasonable
    01:58:36
    person would say I spent an absurd
    01:58:38
    amount of time doing nothing but looking
    01:58:40
    at tables and I genuinely considered
    01:58:42
    each one - I took a hell of a lot of
    01:58:44
    notes
    01:58:45
    I kept the notes in a different room
    01:58:47
    that room is less serious than this one
    01:58:49
    it's more of a a notes room again the
    01:58:54
    point of this story is to convey how
    01:58:56
    serious I feel this cheating issue is
    01:58:58
    and I'm sure you'll agree with me once
    01:59:01
    you fulfilled your new punishment
    01:59:03
    infinity years in the serious room I
    01:59:06
    generally have trouble reading human
    01:59:09
    emotions but I'm going to go out on a
    01:59:10
    limb here and say that you're devastated
    01:59:13
    by this crippling new punishment as well
    01:59:15
    you should be it's a mess serious I
    01:59:17
    could think of can you get more serious
    01:59:19
    than that no you can't don't try hmm
    01:59:31
    still no
    01:59:33
    the problem is clearly the serious room
    01:59:35
    it isn't serious enough that's on me
    01:59:38
    Stanley I apologize I'm going to the
    01:59:40
    store to look through more tables
    01:59:41
    hopefully I find one that conveys how
    01:59:44
    wrong what you're doing is now where did
    01:59:47
    I put those notes
    02:00:33
    already this was uncomfortable and
    02:00:35
    Stanley decided that as soon as he found
    02:00:38
    a new space he felt safe him that he
    02:00:40
    would never leave it again in his life
    02:00:42
    [Music]
    02:00:47
    when Stanley came to a set of two opened
    02:00:50
    this was not the correct way to the
    02:00:51
    meeting room and Stanley knew it
    02:00:53
    perfectly well perhaps he wanted to stop
    02:00:55
    by the employee lounge first just to
    02:00:58
    admire it the lounge was sublime a work
    02:01:02
    of art but eager to get back to business
    02:01:05
    Stanley took the first open door on his
    02:01:08
    left
    02:01:11
    Stanley was so bad at following
    02:01:13
    directions it's incredible he wasn't
    02:01:16
    fine years ago look Stanley I think
    02:01:20
    perhaps we've gotten off on the wrong
    02:01:22
    foot here I'm not your enemy really I
    02:01:26
    realized that invested in your trust in
    02:01:28
    someone else can be difficult but the
    02:01:30
    fact is that the story has been about
    02:01:32
    nothing but you all this time there's
    02:01:36
    someone you've been neglecting Stanley
    02:01:38
    someone you've forgotten about please
    02:01:41
    stop trying to make every decision by
    02:01:44
    yourself I'm not asking for me I'm
    02:01:47
    asking for her this is its standing your
    02:01:51
    chance to redeem yourself to put your
    02:01:54
    work aside to let her back into your
    02:01:58
    life she's been Woody's
    02:02:01
    that's her stand me you need to be the
    02:02:04
    one to do this to reach out if you can
    02:02:08
    truly place your faith in another then
    02:02:11
    pick up the phone as Stanley picked up
    02:02:18
    the phone a white light engulfed him filling him
    02:02:21
    not just with radiance but with hope
    02:02:23
    hope for a life reunited one wait oh
    02:02:26
    goodness
    02:02:27
    Stanley did you just unplug the phone
    02:02:30
    no that wasn't supposed to be a choice
    02:02:32
    how did you do that you actually chose
    02:02:35
    incorrectly I didn't even know that was
    02:02:38
    possible let me double-check no it's definitely
    02:02:43
    here clear as day
    02:02:45
    Stanley picks up the phone he's taken to
    02:02:47
    his apartment where he finds his wife
    02:02:49
    and the two pledged themselves to one
    02:02:51
    another music comes in fade to white
    02:02:53
    roll credits not picking up the phone is
    02:02:57
    actually somehow an incorrect course of
    02:02:58
    action how is that even possible
    02:03:01
    none of these decisions were supposed to
    02:03:03
    mean anything I don't understand
    02:03:05
    how many other thing you're making
    02:03:06
    meaningful choices what did you wait a
    02:03:09
    second did I just see no that's not
    02:03:12
    possible I can't believe it how would I
    02:03:15
    not noticed it sooner you're not Stanley
    02:03:18
    you're a real person I can't believe I
    02:03:23
    was so mistaken this is why you've been
    02:03:25
    able to make correct and incorrect
    02:03:26
    choices and to think I've been letting
    02:03:28
    you run around in this game for so long
    02:03:30
    if you've made any more wrong choices
    02:03:32
    you might have negated it entirely it's
    02:03:34
    as though you completely ignored even
    02:03:36
    the most basic safety protocol for
    02:03:39
    real-world decision-making or did you
    02:03:41
    not grasp the severity of the situation
    02:03:43
    well I won't have that kind of risk on
    02:03:45
    my watch I'm going to stop the game for
    02:03:47
    a moment so we can educate you properly
    02:03:49
    on safe decision-making in the real
    02:03:51
    world please observe this helpful
    02:03:53
    instructional video choice it's the best
    02:03:58
    part of being a real person but if used
    02:04:01
    incorrectly can also be the most
    02:04:03
    dangerous for example in this scenario a
    02:04:07
    that no real person named Steven has a
    02:04:09
    choice he could spend years helping
    02:04:12
    improve the quality of life for citizens
    02:04:13
    of impoverished third-world Nations or
    02:04:17
    he could systematically set fire to
    02:04:19
    every often living in a 30 kilometre
    02:04:21
    radius of his house which choice would
    02:04:24
    you make remember that unlike here the
    02:04:27
    real world makes sense and at no time
    02:04:28
    should you make a choice that does not
    02:04:31
    conform to rational logic if you find
    02:04:33
    yourself speaking with a person who does
    02:04:35
    not make sense in all likelihood that
    02:04:38
    person is not real allow the person to
    02:04:40
    finish their thought then provide an
    02:04:42
    excuse why you cannot continue talking
    02:04:45
    turn to a partner and practice saying my
    02:04:48
    goodness is it 4:30 I'm supposed to be
    02:04:51
    having a back sack and crack
    02:05:03
    excellent making choices on a regular
    02:05:06
    basis is the best part to a healthy
    02:05:08
    decision-making process most medical
    02:05:11
    professionals recommend making at least
    02:05:13
    eight choices per day do you make more
    02:05:16
    than eight less and finally if you begin
    02:05:19
    to wonder if your choices are actually
    02:05:21
    meaningful and whether you'll ever make
    02:05:23
    a significant contribution to the world
    02:05:25
    just remember that in the vast infinite
    02:05:28
    nough sub space your thoughts and
    02:05:30
    problems are materially insignificant
    02:05:32
    and the feeling should subside at this
    02:05:35
    time your instructor will guide you in
    02:05:37
    an exercise to test and reinforce the
    02:05:39
    material covered in this video ah
    02:05:44
    welcome back you may have noticed that
    02:05:47
    this room has begun to deteriorate as a
    02:05:49
    result of narrative contradiction but
    02:05:52
    not to worry now that you're properly informed on
    02:05:54
    good decision making we're going to
    02:05:56
    revisit a choice you made just a few
    02:05:58
    minutes ago and see what the correct
    02:06:00
    thing to do would have been this way
    02:06:02
    please
    02:06:15
    now that we know your choices of
    02:06:18
    meaningful we can't have you jumping off
    02:06:20
    the platform and dying
    02:06:21
    imagine the main character dying
    02:06:23
    senselessly halfway through the story
    02:06:25
    that story would make no sense at all we
    02:06:28
    just need to get you home as soon as
    02:06:30
    possible before the narrative
    02:06:32
    contradiction gets any worse
    02:06:33
    unfortunately it seems this place is not
    02:06:36
    well equipped to deal with reality
    02:06:59
    almost there you don't take the door on
    02:07:01
    the left back to the correct ending the
    02:07:04
    story will have resolution once again
    02:07:05
    and you'll be home free in the real
    02:07:08
    world

    you'll be up to the task just follow my
    02:07:35
    lead and you'll be fine
    02:07:36
    all right mm-hmm when Stanley came to a
    02:07:39
    set of two open doors he entered the
    02:07:42
    door on his left
    02:07:57
    yet there was not a single person here
    02:08:00
    either feeling a wave of disbelief
    02:08:02
    Stanley decided to go up to his boss's
    02:08:05
    office hoping he might find an answer
    02:08:07
    there coming to a staircase Stanley
    02:08:09
    walked upstairs to his boss's office
    02:08:26
    stepping inside his managers office
    02:08:29
    Stanley was once again stunned to
    02:08:31
    discover not an indication of any human
    02:08:33
    life shocked unraveled
    02:08:35
    Stanley wandered in disbelief who
    02:08:37
    orchestrated this and Timmy saw the door
    02:08:40
    with a voice receiver next to it surely
    02:08:43
    behind this store may all the answers to
    02:08:45
    his questions and beyond all probability
    02:08:47
    he knew the passcode he had seen it on
    02:08:50
    his boss's computer just last week night
    02:08:53
    shark one one five was this the code to
    02:08:56
    open the door would it still work there
    02:08:59
    was only one way to find out
    02:09:00
    Stanley have been trained never to speak
    02:09:03
    up but now he would draw from within
    02:09:05
    himself the courage to face the unknown
    02:09:08
    he drew a sharp breath and then spoke
    02:09:11
    the code
    02:09:23
    hmm Stanley spoke the code night shark
    02:09:28
    one one five he spoke his into the
    02:09:31
    receiver right there on the wall I'm
    02:09:40
    sorry is there a problem
    02:09:42
    you didn't miss hear me did you please
    02:09:45
    speak the code into the receiver
    02:09:47

    this is a crucial step okay fine you're
    02:09:58
    not gonna do it but you know what it's
    02:10:00
    pretty humiliating to bring you this far
    02:10:02
    only for you to suddenly decide you have
    02:10:04
    better things to do I asked you for this
    02:10:07
    one single thing for your respect the
    02:10:10
    kind of respect Stanley shows for his
    02:10:12
    choices he knows what it means to take a
    02:10:15
    story seriously if you didn't want to
    02:10:17
    see what I had to show you then why did
    02:10:19
    you come here you had a choice you know
    02:10:21
    you could have gone through the door on
    02:10:22
    the right you could have done whatever
    02:10:24
    the hell you wanted over there why did
    02:10:26

    02:10:28
    me explain yourself you coward
    02:10:32
    his behave exactly as Stanley would that
    02:10:36
    means choosing responsibly and always
    02:10:38
    putting the story first I'm quite sure
    02:10:41
    you'll be up to the task
    02:10:42
    just follow my lead and you'll be fine
    02:10:44
    all right hmm when Stanley came to a set
    02:10:47
    of two open doors he entered the door on
    02:10:50
    his left No
    02:10:55
    why did you do that quickly hurry back
    02:10:57
    in the other direction perhaps we're not
    02:10:59
    too late
    02:11:15
    now it's ruined you a company after
    02:11:19
    everything we talked about that you my
    02:11:21
    story you've destroyed my work why for
    02:11:25
    what what did you get out of that what
    02:11:27
    did you think was so special about
    02:11:29
    seeing the game I'm dumb left here like
    02:11:31
    so much garbage it's worthless now
    02:11:34
    and what am I supposed to do even if
    02:11:36
    there were a way to continue would it be
    02:11:38
    worth it to know that my story is now
    02:11:40
    incorrect
    02:11:41
    how can I go back to that I can't have
    02:11:43
    raised that knowledge I'll have to live
    02:11:45
    with it forever reliving its
    02:11:46
    impossibility forever I couldn't live
