I was born in the 2000s, but watching ProJared's videos genuinely feels like getting transported to the decades before me. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to experience an era that some of us missed out on.
I've never given him a chance, but since he made his redemption video, I gained a newfound respect for him, and so I started watching his game review videos. I must say, I wish I would have watched projared a long time ago.
There is a real existential gloom to the fact that the whole thing just repeats... 'Secret Island of Dr. Q' is like the 'Waiting for Godot' of 90s edutainment titles!
***** That completely ridiculous you know. Something that is considered a 'long time' is only considered that because it is a relative term. Long is a subjective word. A 20 minute walk is nothing to most people but to a mayfly that only lives 30 minutes that's 2/3 of his life. It is a big deal. When things are made relative to the situation they are then placed into perspective. If you measured your life in light years and estimates on how long the universe has existed, than yeah, it wouldn't be a long time, but we as human beings don't do that. We count the minutes, we count the seconds, we have to be at work at 6 am on the dime or we get fired. There is nothing within out lives that makes the length of time the universe has existed in anyway significant or relevant to our every day lives, thus its not relevant. Because the word long is subjective, 20 years is a long time to a human being no matter how long the universe existed. We humans see it as long and thus it is. I'm not sure what entity would consider it "nothing', but its certainly not a human.
I had the most awesome 3rd grade teacher . He had 28 computers , one for every student. Every single day for one whole year we got to play educational games for 2 hours.
muscularmouse Depending on the game, and the teacher, educational games could actually end up teaching kids more than they would learn in school alone. It's really a matter of finding the right game at the right difficulty level.
Ian Knight Yeah, but I'm pretty sure that after 1 year, it wouldn't be educational anymore, and rather just routine. The way I see it, the teacher was just being lazy and didn't want to teach.
muscularmouse If you look at the original poster's comment, it was only for 2 hours a day. The rest of the day would be spent with normal lessons, so they likely used the games as supplemental learning to help the kids learn easier. Also, there are many educational games out there. The teacher could increase the difficulty level throughout the year to keep the students challenged, and could change the game to match whatever lesson they were teaching at the time.
@muscularmouse I'd rather do lazy computer work over lazy paperwork any day, computer games would definitely be more engaging instead of a test or homework
Speaking of Monkey Island, I just realized that "The Secret Island of Dr. Quandary" is a similar title to "The Secret of Monkey Island" (the game with Guybrush in it). Conspiracy nuts, have at it.
***** Just remember that the kids in elementary now are facing a school system that's been getting worse every year. They probably don't have educational games allowed in some schools because they're too busy giving them standardized tests.
The first couple of times I watched this, I thought Jared gave the tax collector a lisp on his own, but I noticed that they actually replace the Ls in dialogue with Ws!
Oh god I remember playing this on the old machintoches as a kid in school. The story was disturbing as heck. I always went with the easy one because it looked cooler. I didn't even notice the names and that they were different difficulties.
Oh god this game. I remember this game. Was actually pretty horrified by this a lot as a kid among other games similar to it and was sadly forced to experience the horrors of them at school. Such a great childhood.
This was my absolute FAVORITE game to play in Computer Lab as a kid in elementary school. Nobody that I know that didn't go to my school knows about this game, I can't believe you reviewed it!
I love how the entire video while he was complaining that the game was hard, he didn't realize that he chose the doll that clearly means he chose the hardest setting.... I didn't even play the game and I knew that XD
He knew lol, right off when he read the name he said "I see what you did there." He just played it up because hey, seeing youtube gamers fail is funny for us to watch.
"Secret Island of Doctor Quandry was the educational game I played the most growing up, while everyone else was knee-deep in Math Blaster or Reader Rabbit," You totally missed the opportunity to say "While everyone else was Knee-Deep in the Dead, Playing DOOM and such," EDIT: I have now realized that you were talking about educational games, and not DOS games in general. I am sorry.
The fact that you referenced number munchers is beyond amazing! I have been asking people for years if they knew what it was, and no one seems to know about it! I remember we had it on an old apple computer in my grade 3 classroom and it was the best game!
I like how he's holding the mousepad in his hand and using the mouse on that in the intro. Yeah, that's a great way to use a computer mouse. Works perfectly.
Just so you know, Jared, the puzzle with the boat, door and candle where you have to rebuild them is a puzzle type called a "Tangram". They're a lot of fun and pretty easy to find once you know the word, so in case you didn't, now you can play those kinds of puzzles whenever.
Never said you did swear. In fact, because you have yet to swear in front of me has proven you have a large enough vocabulary to keep making witty comebacks is admirable. And even when someone does swear, or they swear often in Jon's case, if they use other tools to complement it I still watch and rewatch their videos.
I like how he said that this reminds him of childhood unrealistic life dreams right as I swallowed a helping of whiskey as my life goes further down the drain. Reminds me of how much of a failure I am : )
0:51 Wait a minute! You're not talking shit about Reader Rabbit, are you? Don't you talk shit about Reader Rabbit! Don't do it! Don't you do it! DO NOT talk shit about Reader Rabbit! NO ONE talks shit about Reader Rabbit!
Carmen San Diego and Dr. Quandary. The two games I had that you've made videos about. I think I'm just now coming to the realization that I might have been a nerdy kid.
I KNOW THAT DISC-APPEAR PUZZLE FROM CYBERCHASE! You're suppose to keep the opponent with discs that are multiples of four! That way, when it's their second-to-last turn, whether they take 1, 2, or 3 discs, you can take what's leftover and leave them with the last disc!
Holy crap, I used to love this game as a kid! I didn't remember the name or even the game itself until I happened upon this video! Wow, what a nostalgic rush. Thanks for that, Jared!
I was always one of those weird kids who, in their spare time, looked up math formulas and terms on the internet and studied our textbook for FUN. But hey, it got me into special privileges, shiny medals, GATE (A high-level education program), and high test scores, so I'm not complaining. I'm not bragging, I think I should have built somewhat more of a social life, this is just what I actually do in my spare time. On a different note, our school never had us play educational games. "We are not here to have fun" (2nd grade teacher, or maybe 3rd, I forget which) So, yeah. That's kinda how our schedule went.
I remember graham crackers... Those were pretty good. I always liked the cinnamon kind. Especially with peanut butter and jelly. Sometimes I'd even put bananas on that puppy. You ever had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with bananas on it? It'll change your life. Use crunchy peanut butter. It's awesome. And blackberry jelly. You'll thank me. And s'mores. Those were good as hell! Last year my supermarket had huge bags of marshmallows on clearance for 3 for a buck. You had to buy 3 though. So I bought them with some graham crackers and a few Hershey's Special Dark bars and a couple of friends and I made some dark chocolate s'mores. If you love dark chocolate like me you should definitely try them.
oh ... now i remember something ... one day i was visiting my uncle (i was seven ... i think) and he teached me division ... he always got angry when i did something wrong XD
So this is where the lengendary intense floppy wiggle comes from.

ProJared has literally not changed at all in four years. Amazing.
DarthRushy
You literally don't know the definition of literally.
monkeywolfe I was obviously exaggerating. But you have to admit that compared to other reviewers, his style and looks have changed very little.
DarthRushy Um, no, it was not obvious.
At all.
Not to mention I don't think there was really anything to exaggerate.
Pete Well, if you say so.
Pete you must be fun at parties. Ever feel better about your life after correcting someone on the internet? Didn't think so.

When the nostalgia hits just right
There is a real existential gloom to the fact that the whole thing just repeats... 'Secret Island of Dr. Q' is like the 'Waiting for Godot' of 90s edutainment titles!
90s edutainment games have a distinct charm to them that can't be replicated.
I didn't know that my head would explode from nostalgia when I woke up today.
I didn't know.
right?
No matter what game you're talking about, even if it's a game I've never heard of, you never fail to entertain me with your videos. Keep it up!
holy doly, an actual floppy disk!?!? THAT'S 20+ YEARS MAN!!!!
good for you. why do i care?

Damn, he even looks like him
SpiderDash Thank you SpiderDash! I thought I was the only one who saw it and this was driving me nuts!
SpiderDash damn that's a good comparison. I had to look him up-- and Yeah! He sounds just like him.
Speaking of Monkey Island, I just realized that "The Secret Island of Dr. Quandary" is a similar title to "The Secret of Monkey Island" (the game with Guybrush in it).
Conspiracy nuts, have at it.

Let's double the views everywhere in his channel!
9 down. So many more to go.
I actually fall asleep with his videos playing as bsckground noise, so half his views are cuz of me 😂
Seeing Jared happy in the into makes me happy ^^

0:00 I can tell already this episode is going to be good by just looking at your face.
I thought the same thing
Oh how things have changed... again
Omg, I forgot this game existed. I just happened to stumble up on this video. Thanks!
The game of him is for everyone of her moves you take enough to complete four I think
I sure love watching ProJared while playing Minecraft on Sunday nights. Or any nights. You rock, Jared.
i remember playin' this game at my elementary school. the nostalgia factor, man... it was high.
dont we all, my friend.
DBZWii09 Take it from someone who was recently in it. It's not that good.
***** Yeah! My only problems were the constant bullies...

Just remember that the kids in elementary now are facing a school system that's been getting worse every year. They probably don't have educational games allowed in some schools because they're too busy giving them standardized tests.
"Is your name Hostess? Cuz' THAT was a Zinger!" I almost fell out of my chair from that one. Well done, Jared.
I always played Zoombinis as a little kid, it was the educational game I liked the most.
Zoombinis are the shit man
WolfyFifi all I know about Zoombinis is Brutal Moose's video on it
It's a freaking amazing game and I love it so much. I still play it to this day, actually.
I played this in computer class when I was in elementary school! You are bringing up long lost memories, ProJared! Fun fun
