Getting Over It - Full Speech, All the Monologue, Full Commentary by Bennett Foddy

There’s something interesting about overcoming a challenge you know was hard.

Some ppl find enjoyment out of it while others are disappointed usually with a “Huh…that’s it?”

And that’s what makes it interesting we sometimes get so caught up in the moment or chase of the goal, that when we achieve it. We may have enjoyed the chase rather than the location.

Getting over it is definitely in between that area, your glad you finally beat it but the drive is what made you enjoy it.

In a way, this game is just life. Infuriating, and terrifying, yes. But it’s all just a journey, climbing a mountain. The player is your body, and Benoit is your thoughts, and reflections. “I’ll save everything, even your mistakes.” We often fear failure. I think if we were to slow it down, and breathe for once, we e’d realize it’s simply an opportunity to do it all over again. And that.. is something life will very rarely grant you. So don’t rush, don’t quit. Because one day you’ll make it to the top, and you’ll ask yourself if you enjoyed the journey. It your ultimate goal may be to make it to the top of the mountain right now, but on that faithful day in the future, you’ll ask yourself: “was there any point?” The point isn’t making it to the end, it’s everything that happens to get there. “It’s not about the top of the mountain, it’s about how you climb it.” The only meaning in anything is what you make of it. The challenges you overcome, the mountains you climb, the people met and lost. Everything, all of it, makes up every bit of what was worth it. Not just the top. So, to anyone who’s actually still reading this, keep going. Keep fighting, don’t rush. If cauldron man can do it, so can you. No matter how hard it gets, never give up homies. Enjoy life. Because one day, you won’t be able to.

He made this entire monologue, only to be told to shut up.

Imaginary mountains build themselves from our efforts to climb them, and it's our repeated attempts to reach the summit that turn those mountains into something real

I like to listen to this full dialogue when I'm sleeping. I'm already done at the game and completed with a speedrun. I wonder if there's a channel out there that has this like monologues that I can listen too, I would like to check it out because it's interesting and the voice is very calm with a bg music.

There no better feeling than going through the obstacles to fast that Bennett is several queues behind. I did it for the first time the other day. It took me 16 painstaking play throughs to get there.

Trashcan Carla is still refusing to talk to me for talkin that sheet.
Just get over it already, Carla!!
I.keed~i.keed!!!

I love his philosophy and i think i've learned alot from it.

I unironically hate and despise this man. I've never even played this POS game, but frankly, I don't need to. He is a pretentious waste of SPERMATOZOA

This game is just a beautiful piece of art, and these quotes make it what it is. I just can't understand how could anyone break their stuff from anger over this. I like to see this as a soothing and relaxing, at times kind of angering but still, a very well teaching journey about philosophy and life in general.

This is so sweet, makes me want to play the game for real.. haha, I would definitely take a lot of long breaks though

why is it slam poetry for just a minute, in the middle

I just want this guy to record hours of commentary so I can play him in the background while playing totk.

This is an interesting monologue. It's part history, part encouragement, part sympathy, part philosophy, and part self-reflection.

Bro, the last 2 comments sound like a gay asmr. 💀

who else is coming back to appreciate real art after seeing that shitty streamerbait asset flip?
right on the money about "junk games"

never played this game never watched a full gameplay but seein references to this calm commentary as people lose their shit is the most funny thing ive seen in a while 😭

In its beginnings it was so easy to overlook that this game is actually a work of art and a dissection of modern culture

Whoever designed the subtitles prolly got fired lol
It's so out of sync!!

This game references the song “Going down the road feeling bad”, and the ending song that plays in the credits is a nice spin on that song. Instead of reciting the lyrics in the original, he adds his own version of it to make it more accurate to the game.

No matter i played this game over and over, i failed a lot but there’s still someone with me and talking about life, about the game i played.

Why in the mountain part he's like sad

honestly i went through kind of a character arc with bennett foddy. i hated him at first but when i finished i just wanted to hear his narrations again

You could swallow a baseball bat

Upon this age -- Edna St. Vincent Millay

Upon this age, that never speaks its mind,
This furtive age, this age endowed with power
To wake the moon with footsteps, fit an oar
Into the rowlocks of the wind, and find
What swims before his prow, what swirls behind ---
Upon this gifted age, in its dark hour
falls from the sky a meteoric shower of facts;
They lie unquestioned, uncombined.
Wisdom enough to leech us of our ill
is daily spun,
But there exists no loom
To weave it into fabric; undefiled
Proceeds pure Science, and has her say; but still
Upon this world from the collective womb
Is spewed all day the red triumphant child.

Its so funny when markiplier tells him to shut the fck up

As you near the end, Bennett’s speech becomes more personal and more emotional. You can tell that he’s enjoyed watching you progress and he’s deeply moved by the fact that you continued despite how challenging he made it for you, he’s proud. But it’s also because he’s sad. He’s watched you the entire time as you progress and in doing so he’s grown attached to you. You’re the only friend he has in the lonely world that is this game and he knows that when you reach the top of the mountain, it will be time for him to say goodbye, for by that point you’ve won. The game will be over, and it will all reset back to the beginning. That’s the real reason he added the snake in there, he didn’t really believe you would “feel bad if you won”, he just knew it would keep you around for a little longer so he wouldn’t have to say goodbye just yet. Though when that time would eventually come, he would no longer have that selfishness. Nothing but pure, undisputed pride and gratitude for you, the player.

You gorgot the bad ending

I love bennet foddy like a very good freind

"You got soooooo close, but this is past mending. You got the baad ending." Bennett said as he slowly eats his mic.

Man I remmeber insulting him by narrating like him, im somewhat creative

"Don't worry, I'll save your progress, always. Even your mistakes."

Everything says is true

i'm only here to understand poetry.. please someone help me I don't understand what poetry is

In the end song just: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM GOAINGINIGNNIG dAAAAAAAAAAOUN DEEEEEEEES ROUAT FILAN DAEDBABBBABEbEABEBBEAEVdbVAEBDVEMF

As frustrating as this game looks, I firmly believe that this game is EXTREMELY underrated simply because of the message contained in it. That there's rewards in failure and getting back up and trying again, and that there's satisfaction to be had from perseverance through struggle.

First time I beat this game was on my phone. Took me a week or so and the skin on my thumb was rubbed raw on my screen. I really liked the narration and the game, good stuff.
