"The wheel of flavor must churn, Raziel. You are now, and forever more, my Sole Stirrer"

The art, the voices, the dialogues, the inner monologues... This is the purest form of LOK

I can’t believe that, in almost 20 years, the closest thing I’ve seen to a legit sequel to this beloved franchise came in the form of a rugrats parody.

Raziel: Here's your pudding of cacao delicacy. Elder God: I no longer require nourishment.

Really, only Raziel could turn making a pudding into something so deep

I was half expecting Raziel's soul to fuse with the spoon at the end, becoming the ravenous chocolate devouring entity within it :(

*Raziel:* Elder God, your feast is at hand. *Elder God:* Peace, Raziel. Your culinary mission is in vain, for my hunger has proven a mere phantom and has subsided unsated.

The only one with free will, and he chooses to make chocolate pudding

I knew this was going to be good, but I didn't think it would be this good. The chocolate pudding had destroyed me, and yet... I lived.

It's funny at first, but then you realize it's a cry for help. I love this so much. Glad to see Soul Reaver content in 2023.

Kain: At last. I must say I'm disappointed in your progress. I imagined you would have finished sooner. Tell me, did it trouble you when you burnt the first batch? Raziel: Did it trouble you when you ate all of the second?

The original meme: Didi: Stu, what are you doing? Stu: Making chocolate pudding. Didi: It's four o'clock in the morning, why on earth are you making chocolate pudding? Stu: …Because I've lost control of my life. This Masterpiece: Kain: *I knew what black hour this was as foretold by Mobius himself. The snake had made it clear to me what it might portend. I beheld Raziel, awake, and no explanation for this state. * Kain: Raziel, what dark pact have you allowed yourself to become entangled in? Raziel: I have found myself shackled to this fell task. Compelled, unreluctantly to create a concoction of chocolate. A dessert, fit for mortals. Kain: It is 4 past the witching hour, and the cock is soon to crowe. What could possibly posses you to create chocolate pudding at this un-godly state? Raziel: *Kain's question cut through my soul like a silver dagger enchanted with the darkest of magics. In an instant, my mind was flooded with torturous visions of all that had lead me to this abyssmal state of torment. Twisting that infernal knife with the unbearable knowledge that now, as ever, I was powerless to escape my terrible destiny. The stirrs of my spoon mimicked the eternal and unchanging revolutions of the wheel of fate. Binding me and every other being in existence to a single, immutable path. And while most of the wretched souls tied to that abominable wheel were blissfully unaware of their existential imprisonment, I was not so fortunate. No, I had been shackled with the burden of knowledge. It was all I could do to keep my spirit from falling into total despair, as I turned to reply; * Raziel: Because I have lost control- *Suddenly, I stopped! Unable to utter the remaining words. Because I had lost control of my life? But how could I loose something that I had never truly possessed? Suddenly, laughter, from the other room, mocking me, mocking all that I'd endured, and that I'd yet to endure. Mocking existence itself. The rest of the world fell away. I could not percieve anything except that laughter. That horrible, horrible laughter. I could not bear it. Despair overwhelmed me. The spoon fell to the floor, and I with it. I hoped this would be the final torment. That the horror of my existence would proove to strong withstand, and my mind would shatter and disappear into final oblivion for all time.* I love this so much

This line is such a mood. :D "Kain's question cut through my soul like a silver dagger enchanted with darkest of magics."

I truly wish we had more video-games with a very story driven narrative while speaking in such a long winded, dignified English.

".... Tumbling, burning with white-hot frustration, I plunged into the depths of the depression. Unspeakable pain... relentless agony... time ceased to exist... only this torture... and a deepening hatred of the hypocrisy that damned me to this chore. ... An eternity passed, and my hand-cramps receded, bringing me back from the precipice of burnout. The stirring had destroyed me... and yet, dessert was ready."

"Healthy dessert is an illusion"

Never in my life did I ever imagine that Legacy of Kain characters would be performing the most famous Rugrats scene. xD I love it. Makes me wish there was a Legacy of Kain animated series. ^^

Fuck's sake, this deserves more traction.

Raziel is every Legacy of Kain fan after 20 years of Square Enix doing absolutely nothing with the IP.

The fact that I found this at 4:00 a.m. is indicative of fate itself

"The spoon fell to the floor, and I with it" is such a great sentence. 😂

“How many eons can you bear to languish here? The egg yolks must be whisked, all the sugar, milk and cocoa are boiled in the cleansing agony of the saucepan. This is the engine of life - the purifying rhythm of the universe to which all souls are irresistibly drawn. Yours is a necessary and noble function, Raziel.”

Your bloodthirst is replaced by a deeper need... You've become... a devourer of chocolate pudding.

This was already one of the best things I've seen all month. The voice AI was dead on, and the dialogue, subject matter aside, sounded like it came straight from the games. Then Ozar Midrashim kicked in. And then I saw the Elder God in the living room. This is art. This is god-damned art.

"I have found myself shackled to this fell task compelled unreluctantly to create a concoction of chocolate. A dessert fit for mortals" is now my new favourite line ever.

This is advanced memery.

This just serves to remind me that I haven’t encountered dialogue/writing of this caliber since the last Legacy of Kain game.

Kain was delectified, The Clans tell Caramels of him Few know the chewth. He was flavortal once, as were we all….Chowever, his chomptemt for chewmanity drove him to create me and my barthren.

I thought this was gonna be stupid, but it's actually brilliant... well done ... well done!

The dialogue is LIKE THE EXACT SAME WTF MAN YOURE A GOD

The Dialouge is perfect 🤣

Ah yes, our timeline has been altered to the point we now have Bakery of Kain, Soul Stirrer

It makes me happy that this great game is still being remembered and appreciated by people.

Angelica Pickles as the Elder God is weirdly fitting.

This is so shockingly well written which makes it way more hillarious

the voice ai might be dead but the art, the art continues to live on

Impressive, very nice.

lost it when Ozar midrashim kicked in, pure kino

The voice acting for Raziel sounded exactly how he should be, and the writing for his lines, man, it’s pure essence from Soul Reaver. Gimme more of these please! 😂

The best part of this? Raziel's voiced by the same guy who voiced Drew on Rugrats, Michael Bell.

Literally me when I find myself cooking at some ungodly hour ordained by powers malign and overwhelming even though I must rise with the loathed dawn to serve masters who care not for my dignity as a living, sapient entity, but only my ability to help them produce profit for their fell overlords who my brethren retail workers refer to in hushed, venomous whispers as "corporate"...Aye corporate...The horrific gnarled elders whose inexplicable, cruel, and irrational whims seem as capricious that of a spoiled toddler...

I've been rewatching this daily since I found it. It fucking gets me everytime 😂

The inexorable exodus toward calorific ecstacy and denticulational decay.

Kain in an apron: "The spoon is still churning raziel.."

I will surely return later, when this video breaks internet

It's darker than Reptar's very soul in here....

Vorador: "You're a wretched excuse for a baker!" "I've been watching you since you immerged from that accursed kitchen. Strange that you're arrival coincided with the dinner spoiling!"

Oh man, the silver surfer pose, nice touch.

Dark Prophecy looks pretty good to me.

I can't overstate how brilliant this is

Who knows what an orange VCR tape smells like?

Besides the rare LoK meme its also a rugrats reference, raziel VA was on the show, superb meme my dude

Dude... it's just pudding. Calm down.

I will never understand how LOK makes its absurd and verbose purple prose work so well

this was the most legacy of kain thing i have ever seen. this was so spot on, and funny on a level only fans will truly appreciate.

Ahhh ...finally .we now know the purpose behind Crystal Dynamics survey .....

Elder God just watching TV in the next room

"I knew what black hour it was as foretold by Moebius himself" *checks clock*

This...this video alone justifies KZfaq. This is the greatest thing I have ever seen.

Yes, yes to this entire video. Just yes.

Somebody show Amy Hennig this, she deserves to see it rofl

The animation perfected this

This is one of the greatest achievements in KZfaq history.

Elder God: "I know you, Raziel. You are hungry."

At the fourth time you realize... I'm in the circle with them, I have to stop, but you never will... This has so many levels...

This should win major awards

"The spoon fell to the floor, and I with it." Funniest shit I ever heard. I revisit this goddamn video at least once a day.

Amazing, at the start is fun, then it's sad, then you understand, and it's despair...

The wheel of chocolate

As weird as this might sound, I really want to hear Tony Jay's voice Ai.

The voices are completely mind-blowing... this is amazing.

This is perfect in every way. The voices, the dialog, the animation... We're "2 people familiar with unreal engine" away from a truly brilliant fan game that the IP holder hits with a cease and desist 2 weeks before I find out about it.

Good. GOD. I am going through so many emotions right now.

The dialog and voice acting in the series was decades ahead of its time.

I don't know who did this, but it's perfect.

This is brilliant, we are legion.

Elder God "From this day forward you are my chocolate pudding maker"

"What dark pacts have you allowed yourself to become entangled in" will be my favorite phrase to ask people wtf they're doing

Once the tooling is good enough to control the intonations and pausing manually, we could actually see this being used for main characters

How ONLY NOW youtube DARED to recommend me this?! I've been searching for this MY ENTIRE LIFE!

The commitment to the bit... Astounding.

This is incredible, never did I think my childhood would be resurrected in such glorious fashion. I do hope Raziel will have the honor of tasting the pudding before his lord. And for his transgression, he will have earned a new kind of reward... the munchies.

Now all we need is for this to be applied to the Steamed Hams meme

Thankyou for making such silly little legacy of kain content in 2023, it is a blessed day.

I've listened to this so many times haha, I love it.

That this video exists, humanity is uplifted. More. More. More. Moooooorrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeee Gasps* Raziel and Melciah at the coffee shop

*Kain:* Thirty years hence, I am presented with a dilemma... let's call it a two-sided spoon. If the spoon falls one way, I sacrifice myself and thus restore the Pudding... but as the last surviving cook in Nosgoth, this would mean the annihilation of our species... Moebius made sure of that. If the coin lands on the reverse, I refuse the sacrifice and thus doom the Pudding to an eternity of collapse. Either way, the game is rigged. *Raziel:* We agree then that the Pudding is crucial and must be restored. *Kain:* Yes, Raziel, that is why we've come full-circle to this place. *Raziel:* So after all this, you make my case for me. To end this stalemate, you must die so that a new Stirrer can be born. *Kain:* The Pudding don't belong to them, Raziel... they belong to us. *Raziel:* Your arrogance is boundless, Kain. *Kain:* There's a third option, a monumental secret hidden in your very presence here. But it's a secret you have to discover for yourself. Unearth your destiny, Raziel. It's all laid out for you here. *Raziel:* You said it yourself, Kain... there are only two sides to your spoon. *Kain:* Apparently so, but suppose you throw a spoon enough times... suppose one day, it lands on its edge.

I feel the same way and somehow a new horror is crafted for me every week.

memeing aside this is extremely well written

I cannot in any conceivable way understate how brilliant this is.

I'll never be happier than this moment when I found this

Last image is a nice callback to Silver Surfer for NES. The voice acting here (for Raziel especially) is so good that the voice actor in question should seriously consider becoming a Raziel 'voice double' for the eventual remake. ;)

This was beautiful an it made me realize I didn't know I needed to see these two in a steamed hams video till now. The pudding and wheel of time had me dying

We've reached the peak of human creation

Ohhhhh so that's what Raziel is doing while trapped in the reaver

The fact I'm being recommended this likely means we're about to recieve news regarding this franchise. Heres hoping.

I want to see Simon Templeman and Michael Bell's reaction to this.

That means we could have Tony Jay back? Here and everywhere, now and always...

I'm dying at the Silver Surfer Game Over Pose as Raziel comes to the realization. Great animation and hit the mark with the queues! This needs more attention.

On a side note I had the pleasure of briefly communicating with Simon Templeman, voice actor of Kain. He said as much as he loved these games, he was very thankful that games these days require far less time in the recording studio.
