Not to brag, but I am the actor who played the baby sister in this game, my dad is holding the cards at the tv studio (he was a 3d artist who worked on the game), and my mother is the mysterious dark woman towards the end of the game. I doubt anyone will see this or believe me but it's true :) I'm super excited to see all of the coverage the game has gotten this year.

It's worth noting that it was only Steve's on-screen actor who was arrested, his voice actor was a different person. Many of the characters had different voice actors who dubbed over the performances of the actors in the live-action cutscenes

The line that always gets me is the death by natural causes.
"Natural causes?".
"You can't live without a spinal cord, son, Nothing unnatural about that."

As a janitor, I can confirm that we are obligated to swiftly and violently react to someone walking on freshly mopped floors.

I love the idea of marrying Stephanie and living the rest of your life in Harvest - doing what? Chatting with the Wasp Woman? Helping to clean up the burnt out wreckage of DNA's Diner? Trying not to piss off Colonel Buster and cause WW3? Having dinner with the Potsdams? Avoiding eye contact with Mr. Johnson? Do we get our haircuts at Pastorelli's or get mom to give us a bowl cut? Will Jimmy show up at our new house and demand papers?

Fun fact: if you kill a non-essential NPC you can get out of prison twice. The first time you get if you previously blackmailed the sheriff prompting him to offer you a one time trip out of jail, the second if you get put in the cell and manage to rig a trap to make a tub fall on the sheriff's head, knocking him out and making him forget he arrested you.

I love that they have Steve hooked up to the machine fully clothed, but Stephanie is in lingerie. The most 90s shit

Steve's actor getting arrested for child pornography a decade later just adds to the whole story

This game perfectly encapsulates what experiencing a weird nightmare is like.

Are you telling me full motion video ISN'T the future of gaming????

So I guess he won’t mention the fact that… oh no wait, there you go.
Great timing with that ending.

I feel that the point of the ending is to say that while fictional violence can affect your perception of real violence in some way, it can't MAKE you violent. At the end, Steve still has a choice. It's saying that whether or not you choose to commit acts of violence is still on you, since after ALL of that, you can still choose NOT to.

I left my legs in Düsseldorf...

THEY OWED ME!!!

Harvester made a lot more sense to me when I understood it as a product of big fans of Twin Peaks attempting to replicate its style of unnerving camp and meta-commentary and place it all into the context of asking what the relationship between videogames and violence actually is and how it fits into the wider picture of human violence as a whole.

As someone who has removed and installed tons of windows and glass, yes, tapeing the glass in a cross pattern will help keep it held together when breaking, that way you dont have giant chunks of glass falling everywhere

25:20 Wait a sec... "Gein Memorial Bake Sale"... as in Ed Gein, the mild mannered grave robber and murderer? Although his home contained a plethora of human body parts, Gein always denied eating them.
Gein was like the poster boy for "But he seemed like such a nice guy!" After his conviction, he spent the rest of his life in mental institutions, where he exhibited "model behavior" and was praised for his amiable and cooperative nature. Best of all, townsfolk considered him reliable and honest, often employing him as a babysitter. A babysitter!!!

The "putting tape on a window then breaking it" thing isn't really a robbery thing, it's just a thing most people end up learning when they have to deal with a broken window. When I was a kid a robin flew into our sliding glass door and the while window was cracked into a million pieces or more. So, in order to avoid shards of glass all over the floor and outside my mom covered the window in masking tape so when it was removed all the glass shards were stuck to the tape and didn't make a mess.

I love the telepathy thing because you just know they only recorded the guy looking all ominous and grimacing, and not talking. So they just recorded a voice and made up an excuse for it. So amazing.
