"THIS WHITE WATER TURNS THEM BACK TO NORMAL!"
This is it. The very first Robot Co-Op stream.
Rick and Flux sit down to play a grab bag of games, starting with the beautifully broken Countdown Vampires — a survival horror relic best remembered for its baffling dialogue, mistranslations, and lines that sound like they escaped containment.
Within minutes, the guys completely lose it. Clunky cutscenes. Stilted voice acting and one line that would go on to become Robot Co-Op scripture: “What is gonna to happen?”
That single sentence detonates the stream. It’s quoted. Repeated. Weaponized. Years later, Coggers are still saying it — a permanent meme forged in the fires of bad localization and day-one improv. GAME BIO: Countdown Vampires is a 2000 survival horror game released during the height of the genre’s popularity. Featuring fixed camera angles, tank controls, and notoriously awkward English localization, the game has earned cult status for dialogue that often feels like it was translated during a fire drill. While intended to be tense and cinematic, it unintentionally became a comedy goldmine — and the unlikely birthplace of Robot Co-Op lore.
