fun fact: there's a german children's book called Der Struwwelpeter and the outlast bit in this video very much reminded me of one of the stories in it. In the story Konrad gets told by his mum to stop sucking his thumbs, warning that if he kept doing it, a tailor would come and cut off his thumbs - so once his mum leaves the house and he puts his thumb into his mouth that's exactly what happens. The tailor barges in with comically large scissors and bam, no more thumbs to suck.

Fun fact about bees: Depending on the species, they can be detrimental rather than beneficial to pollination. For instance, in my native Ohio, European Honey Bees have shrunk local pollinator populations to such a degree that it's harmful to the environment. This is because local prairie pollinators are more efficient at pollinating plants in their biome whereas invasive species like the honey bee fight them for resources, pollinate less efficiently, and directly kill the locals in tiny turf wars. Save the bees, absolutely; however, spare a care for the genocide the honey bee has wreaked on the humble bumble in the name of human profit.

Uh, no. You wrap it in DRY cloth, then put it in a waterproof bag, and then put it on ice. You simply don't want the ice directly touching the tissues because that is a level of cold that does damage. A little insulation goes a long way. This is what we do on ambulances when we can find the part that got amputated. Warmth promotes bacterial growth and thus decomposition. You still want to keep it cold, just not frozen. The ONLY time you use a wet compress is for eviscerations, because organs are meant to be wet. Why do you think we put organs in ice boxes? Don't give bad medical advice, it's dangerous as shit.

What about the first time you witness the Kharaa virus manifest all over your body in Subnautica? If vomit inducing green pustules weren’t enough, you have to listen to a spine tingling heartbeat sound effect as it happens.

I honestly lol'd at the "surely we can do better than that?....we can't? Ohhhh....."

You could say that the oxtra crew are doing a great job hand-ling this topic

Huh, I guess Leon was right to ask that question. His right hand DOES come off

In The Summoner, you thrust your hand into a magically hot furnace, ostensibly to destroy the demons inhabiting the rings you're wearing, though it instead burns your hand clean off and frees the demons because it turns out they were manipulating you to do it. It's a 3rd person game, but I think that's in cutscene

It speaks volumes about RE Village that I fully expected ALL 7 entries to be Ethan Winters.

I feel like getting the giant spike in your hand from subnautica should be on this list to but there are more surprising things in other games

Love Lukes concern over the fact they can't do better that a handy joke

The little chittering of the grub is adorable, honestly. I wouldn't want to squish it simply for that reason.

"We can do better than that surely?" - delivered absolutely perfectly *chef's kiss

somehow the memory of crazy frog was the most traumatic part of this video

It's not the nastiest injury on the list, but the one that always hits me hardest is that horrible six-inch splinter going through Ajay's fingertip in Far Cry 4. There's something about the length and sharpness that just makes me shudder everytime. Plus the way he has to slide it out so delicately to avoid making a bad situation even worse.

Also really tame, compared to the entries on this list, but in the Dawnguard DLC for Skyrim, your character gets their hand impaled from a button they have to press in order to start doing a puzzle to release Serana.

The severing of Ethan's hand may be the more iconic one. But I personally find the scene where he is hung on hooks and subsequently frees himself much more painful to watch.

Jason and Michael are basically immortal, so he'd just get killed by them. Jigsaw is a normal guy dying of cancer, but he's really good at avoiding capture and seemingly predicting everything, so if someone was coming after him, he'd probably be prepared.

Also, the bit in the early game of Cyberpunk 2077 where you're in Viktors chair watching this machine cut and slice at your hand and you're just there chilling chatting to the bloke

Surprised that Subnautica isn't in here, based on that you can see the infection spread through your hands.

This video made me seek out who played Serial Killer X in Condemned; it's Peter Jacobs, but I honestly thought it was George Burza for a bit, because SKX sounded so much like Beast from the 90's X-Men animated series.

When Ethan's hand got cut-off and he just standard there processing it the said "AH S***" made me laughed.

I’m commenting before watching the video, but Subnautica (the first one, anyway) has a couple scenes where the player character’s hand is stabbed clean through by a scanner of extraterrestrial make. If I recall, your character gets angry the second time, and punches the machine

Me: waiting patiently for a "That's Handy" joke.😀 Edit: I was not disappointed thanks Luke.😂

Not the list I would have thought of and yet an excellent one. Haven't finished the video yet but Outlast better be in this :P

Subnautica. Late in the game, when your helpful PDA with the soothing calming female voice warns you that it detects foreign bacteria in your body and advises that you self-scan with your handy scanner tool, upon doing so, you are treated to an animation where your character looks at his hands in shock as gross green pustules are now growing on your hands, just like you've seen them on various fish now and then. They've somehow grown _through_ whatever scuba gear you're currently wearing, even! But hey, the game takes pity on you, and near the end of the game, treats you to another cutscene involving your hands, this time you stick your hands in goop that looks a lot like glowing excrement and said green pustules melt away and your character admires his now-clean hands. Also, there's the part where an alien machine jabs a pencil-sized spike into your wrist to check if you have the disease while you try to shut the gun tower down that shot your ship down at the start of the game so you can leave the planet safely. Go there before getting cured and you'll have to do it twice, and the second time your character tries to dodge the stabs but the alien computer tricks you and stabs you anyway.

God, that gag at the start is the best one you have done xD I laughed so hard!

Its funny how this was always a trend, but it only came to the spotlight with RE7 and 8 because of how abused Ethan's hands are at every single cutscene. Btw Devil's Kiss is hardly the worst thing to happen to Booker. Did you see how disgusting Undertow is? And I dont even have trypophobia.

Seen the title and knew village would 100% be on this list lol

"Seven most shocking things that happened to your hands in first person" Subnautica: *kharaa intensifies*

Should I be worried that none of the ones that Ellen talked about even slightly upset me, I was all "ooh I love bees!" and "those blades look very convenient, I want them!"

there's two bits in subnautica that come to mind: when you first get to the quarantine enforcement platform, try to turn it off, and it fucking stabs you through your scuba glove, and then later in the research lab when you pull off your glove and see that you're infected.

The timing of the release of this particular list while my finger is healing from getting stuck in a belt tensioner in mother's car is a cosmic joke where I am the punchline

Let's not forget about the Quake 4 scene where you watch yourself get chopped apart by dirty sawblades and turned into a Strogg.

If it helps any, for the Mantis Blades, they probably amputated your entire arms and replaced it with prosthetics. Assuming that wasn't already done to V, since they have a sub-dermal implant used to directly plug into terminals to begin with at the start of the game, and at least partial hand prosthetics installed near the start when Victor gives V their first bit of cyberware.

No mention of Bioshock? Injecting the plasmids is bad enough but imagine walking around with bees constantly coming out of ur hands that they now use as a hive?

What about Subnautica? In that game, your hands show the green blisters of the Kharaa virus after entering the disease research facility.

Fun fact if you inspect ethans hand when it gets sliced off, you can see black mold on it, showing he is infected with the same stuff the bakers had been, and thats why when combined with the healing fluid he is able to repair his arm. he's technically not human anymore and its why his clothes get repaired too. your first hint was when Dommy mommy sucks your blood saying you taste stale. shes tasting the mold taking you over

I personally found the bit in Village where you had to pull your hands free from the hook the worst hand maiming bit.

Little thing I found out in EMT classes. Never ever put a severed digit, (finger, toe, etc) directly on ice. Cellular death will start on contact! Use seran wrap or a plastic bag between the severed part and the ice as a barrier to keep it viable as long as possible! So by all means get a cut off finger on ice but NOT directly on ice!
