The Spoony Experiment

Let’s Play SWAT 4 – Mission #8: Xenu Loves the Little Children

by Spoony on May 4, 2009 · 240 comments

The planets are aligning, R’lyeh is in ascension, Halley’s comet is returning, and the Taronian Cult has gone stir crazy in preparation for the return of their unholy alien god emperor! They’re hoping to ring in the dawning of this new age with a titanic liquid fertilizer bomb that could destroy the entire block!

Will SWAT be able to thwart these mad cultists’ plans, or will they be able to complete their dark summoning ritual? Why couldn’t they just make my job easier by going out Heaven’s Gate style?

Justice is alive and well, coursing through the manly fingertips of The Spoony One.

This really was quite a dark turn for the game, yeah.

I am impressed this is the only level that I had real problems with.
anyhow This game is best played in LAN co-up, so if you would like to try something different you should make like an live show with you and some other guys trying to ack like SWAT police officers :P

i’m amazed you didn’t see the guy behind the door at 10:26

“Punch you in the soul!”

That is a new classic phrase right there! This is good shit Spoony! I like how you play through the entire game. Most other reviewers just give you a run down but this guy does the play by play awsome stuff! I can’t believe Tom Clancy made a game like this, it seems so far away from all the Rainbow games.

I was soooo pumped when I saw the “I Am Transformed” on the wall. I was expecting something awesome like: “My God, they’re Beast Machines fans! Death to the heretics!!” Nothing.
:-(

No complaints otherwise. Great video, and thanks for the two in such a short time.

Punching someone their soul is quite a thing to say.

By far your best SWAT video yet!

Oh man, that Stinking Cloud comment had me crying I was laughing so hard.

Kat May 6, 2009 at 9:52 pm

I demand a “I will punch you in your SOUL!” T-shirt! :D Hilarious!

Great Se7en reference Spoony, fits the feel just right

The part with all those corpses was quite disturbing.

215
zolt May 7, 2009 at 1:47 pm

“I will punch you in the f*cking soul!” gotta have it’s own T-shirt :D

suck that you cultist creeps!

Awesome Job Spoony! I expected the scientology/heavan’s gate/jonestown references, as well as cthulhu, but Big Trouble in Little China? Sweet! Once again you’ve done a fantastic job. Although after viewing it I happened to look over and notice that you have 755 followers yourself? I hope the cult you’re creating will be put to better uses than all of the rest have.

Damn…I mean, I realize the Civilians give you shit, but you’re the one pointing guns and threatening them, and tying them up as well. While I love this mission the way you’re doing it, give the civilians a break. Do you know the kind of psychological trauma that causes on them when they want to be rescued, and you tie them up with the criminals as well?

Although I will say this; Grandma deserved it.

“I’ll punch your SOUL!” best phrase ever!

221
Rath May 9, 2009 at 3:30 am

“I will punch your SOUL!” I’d buy a T-Shirt with that on it ^^

Also, at 16:00 did anyone else thing that sounded like the drum track to “You Got Another Thing Comin’” by Judas Priest?

222
Ryguy987 May 9, 2009 at 11:04 am

Hey, you think this is f###ed up, play Manhunt 2 or Condemned. In Manhunt 2, you can actually castrate some one.

That was seriously messed up. Your decision to “fire it up” was precisely what I would’ve done. >:)

225

What are the odds that Spoony would find an armed bomb in a building full of child-killing, sick-minded cultists, and it going off and killing all of the previously mentioned cultists in one single explosion of vengeance? About 1 to 200?

226
DamuEmran May 11, 2009 at 2:42 pm

I still lol’d at “your in my spot sir” or “your in my way sir”

that was some fucked shit they did to those kids. How many of your teams died? You could have saved one if when you pull out your taser and it was loaded before that guy kill him.

Lowcifur May 13, 2009 at 6:12 pm

I will PUNCH YOU IN THE SOUL!

228
Ink May 17, 2009 at 12:04 pm

“You’re in my spot, sir…” really needs to be a t-shirt. Perhaps “soul punch” as well. =D
Interesting ending, but if that’s twisted, someone needs to watched Sympathy for Lady Vengeance (or OldBoy- but Sympathy has children and Oldboy does…sorta).

“I WILL PUNCH YOU IN THE FUCKING SOUL”

XD!

Great video and surprisingly good run, Spoony! The death at 11:04 was just classic.

I love this series of videos. In fact, the videos convinced me to try out the Swat 4 demo, and then to buy Swat 4 Gold on Amazon.

Sierra should pay you for promoting their game.

Also, “I will punch you in the fucking soul” is the greatest quote ever.

Police corruption and brutality rule the world! What could we do without it? :D

You know, that would be a really excellent game. Something like this, but instead you fight supernatural and alien horrors from beyond the stars. It’d be like Terror Trax but actually fun. Break up Cthuloid cults, shove aliens from Dimension X back into the portal from which they came.

Or, even better, a SWAT game which took place during a zombie uprising. You’d have the first few missions be like this game, and then things would slowly change until you’re fighting hordes of zombies while the city collapses around you. As time goes on, police procedure is simply ignored… who’s going to care anyway, when the Commissioner and Mayor are both part of the shambling nightmare? The game slowly devolves away from law enforcement, to trying to keep the peace during collapsing infrastructure, to just plain survival and escape. Can you leave the ruined, dead city with as many civilians as you can? Or do you leave the rest to rot in the sea of undead while you save your own sorry ass? Kind of like Left 4 Dead, but with more realism.

That’d be awesome.

“I am transformed”…wait, so this cult worships Beast Machines? Oh, god, no wonder they’re so messed up! You were right to nuke the building as you did. Don’t need any of those whackjobs spreading the technorganic rapture of Buddhamus Primal, now, do we?

235
Antsu August 8, 2009 at 10:15 am

LOL, at 10:26 there’s CLEARLY a guy with an AK when Spoony mirrors under the door, yet he doesnt see him :D

Tyjan August 19, 2009 at 2:07 pm

Love this game. I got it a while back and it is a pretty hard game. And Spoony is only playing it on normal. it gets grueling if you go any higher than that.

Looking back, this mission was a doosy. I died about 2 times in this mission.

And as soon as I heard one of them say ”The Darkness is coming,” I though ”…Eternal Darkness?” Funny stuff.

I felt the same thing you did when I finally finished this level. So I repeated it, loaded my team with the most devastating weapons available, and then I freaking assassinated everyone who wasn’t a civilian (I’d kill those crazy civilians too, but it would be an instant game over). And even those guys who surrendered, I cuffed them and then I blasted them all in the back of the head. Freaking creepy assholes -_-

Raditzdm September 23, 2009 at 11:21 am

After viewing and reading just about everything on this site, I would have to say that this is my favorite piece. Yeah the cultists were messed up but your narration was just awesome, I about died laughing.
