  God might be a cow and war is hell. This one is on the shorter side but it's worth it for this really cool game I've been wanting to talk about. I hope you guys enjoy. Next one should be another huge video! I am now streaming a few days a week. Check the Discord for more information regarding that. Stay safe out there.

  I think the "go outside and have a birthday" line indicates the recruiter did want to enlist the protagonist. Essentially telling him to walk out and come back in lying about his age, hence "have a birthday". Also explains the other lines during the finale as a flashback from the protagonist's pov

  The "go out and have a birthday" was a common tongue in cheek joke telling young men to lie about their age. Essentially youre too young so just go "get older" and then youre legally old enough to fight

  &quot;Sergeant, the Horse is here.&quot;<br>but a concept of a gas mask that is connected directly to your face with wire&apos;s is fascinating but Yet very unnerving

  I don&apos;t think anyone has mentioned this before, but the Mother boss could allude to the nurses who took care of soldiers during world war 1. They were often referred to as &quot;mom&quot; by the soldiers, since they were a comforting female presence taking care of the soldiers and nursing them back to health... and, as we know, many soldiers were children lying about their ages.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfNReHM3Lrs&amp;t=3720">1:02:00</a> I think what&apos;s happening is that once you take off the mask in the Main Game, you&apos;re still suffering under SOME of the effects of the gas. &nbsp;It&apos;s not like you take off the mask and are instantly all better. &nbsp;You still see some monsters, but you never see Whales, Impalers, or Puppets. &nbsp;Just Pale Soldiers, just things that look WAY more human than monstrous. &nbsp;Even the game script calls them &quot;shapes&quot;, like you&apos;re not seeing them exactly, just vague shapes since your face and one eye have been destroyed, and the other possibly heavily damaged.<br><br>The gas makes you see everyone as a monster. &nbsp;That&apos;s why the Flamer calls you a monster, he&apos;s still hooked up to the gas, he still has his mask on, and he&apos;s still being puppeted by the higher-ups in this war.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfNReHM3Lrs&amp;t=4461">1:14:21</a> the name was confirmed by the developer to be a reference to the medical condition ’trench foot’ but like imagine that on your face because you can’t take off the mask

  There&apos;s also a thing called Trench Mouth. It&apos;s caused by the same conditions as Trench Foot. Basically war is hell, no one wins, except the people selling the shovels

  The helmet being referred to as an &quot;enemy&quot; helmet could also be implying things about the character&apos;s psychological state. He might be unable or unwilling to distinguish the dead by side, either because he believes he&apos;s alone to the point where he considers them all enemies (as he&apos;s trying to desert he might very well have to fight through his own nation&apos;s troops), or because he just doesn&apos;t want to admit he looted the corpse of an ally (wartime traditions on looting are an odd thing, taking from the dead of the enemy is seen as more acceptable than taking from your own).

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfNReHM3Lrs&amp;t=3425">57:05</a> it is a widely known fact that all rats are naturally equipped with a double barrel shotgun. Did you not know this???
