IMPROVISING A COD ZOMBIES ESSAY AT 2 AM @rakefireimpala

Uploaded July 2025 | Updated September 2026, 1 hour ago

I booted up COD Zombies at 2AM and asked the forbidden question:
"Who looked at ancient funerary rituals and myths and decided they boutta put a pack a punch machine all up in ts??" This video is basically just me tweaking out before somehow doing a deep dive through Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, Rome, and finally Haiti.

Along the way I uncover how ancient beliefs, colonialism, and Hollywood all played a role in the zombies we fight today in Call of Duty. Also I burned my apartment down in the process (as one does).

$The Breaking Minds in COD Zombies: A Psychological Essay This is more of an academic video essay than otherwise, wherein we delve into the shattered psyches of Tank Dempsey, Nikolai Belinski, Takeo Masaki, and Edward Richtofen in Call of Duty: Black Ops Zombies. This in-depth psychological essay explores the complex coping mechanisms these iconic characters employ as they face the unending horrors of the undead, particularly within the claustrophobic and terrifying confines of Shi No Numa – the swamp of death. ➡️ Schizophrenia Simulation by Janssen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyUqhbPD2tc 🐦 Twitter: https://x.com/rakefireimpala 💵 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/RakefireImpala 🏢 Fiverr: https://www.fiverr.com/s/qDNW0z5 🎵 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@rakefire.impala We dissect the potential psychological underpinnings of their behavior: from Dempseys seemingly unbreakable bravado as a possible mask for PTSD and repressed trauma, to Nikolais descent into alcohol dependence as a form of avoidance coping. We examine Takeos adherence to honor and tradition as a search for meaning in a chaotic world, and finally, we delve into the fractured brilliance of Edward Richtofen, exploring potential schizotypal traits, maladaptive cognitions, and the terrifying influence of the MPD and Element 115, and finally drawing parallels to real-world conditions like schizophrenia. Join us as we go beyond the surface-level action and explore the breaking minds behind the guns, revealing the hidden psychological battles being waged in the face of the undead apocalypse. Discover how their pasts, personalities, and the traumatic events they endure shape their struggle for survival, not just against the hordes, but against the terrors within.
