I think this is one of my favourite LDOs. It's so nice to hear Yahtzee and Gabe just chatting and laughing with one another and not getting on each others nerves.
8.5 years later and the I'm still wondering what Yahtzee's answer to my question is (Gabe answered and then Yahtzee got distracted by the introduction to HoMaster).
It took me 5 minutes to stop laughing when Yahtzee claimed to love the song "Run For Your Lives" and proceeded to start singing "Run to the Hills" by Iron Maiden.
OptimusSledge Okay then, if you're so great, many variants of this game are free. Play some and see how well you do. Also, why do you assume that I'm American? Maybe I've just heard of the game over the internet, since it was only in schools from the 1980's-the late 90's.
***** I never said you were American. Although with the level of reading comprehension you're displaying here, I have no trouble believing you've at least been through their education system.
OptimusSledge Well since I went through it, most kids had no idea on how to play this game so of course we died. The unluckiest kids had amazon trail to play which who kill you for no reason at all since you only had one dude and a talking magical tiger.
I had a great grandmother that came to America with her parents from Ireland during the Irish Famine of 1879. She traveled to Texas in a covered wagon in the. They had a piano in the wagon and she would play when she got bored, one time some Indians came riding up to the wagon curious what the noise was. Being from Ireland her family thought they were going to be attacked, but all the wanted was to see what was making the music. So after seeing the piano and playing with it for a bit they peacefully rode off. I always found that to be a really cool story.
Yahtzee : Well Gabriella we have made it to Oregon Gabriella : Yes we have husband it is lovely Yahtzee : Now lets take our clothes off and start our heathen commune Gabriella : Seriously ? we have been here for less than five minutes Gabriella has died of backtalk Yahtzee : That'll teach you woman
Laying in bed feeling a little bored. Phone makes dinging sound. Maybe it's a girl I'm attracted to. Oh, nope, it's just Let's Drown Out... Fuck yeah, stoked.
When Gabe made the Skeksis caw, I *know* Yahtzee turned his head to look at him, and he was thinking "how, and why, the hell did you make *that* sound".
As someone who has had to live on field rations when hurricane Irene and Sandy hit us in 2011 and 2012 respectively, 2 pounds of rations a day sounds like rather a lot to be considered meager. However, they are travelling while I was in a storm bunker while the hurricane levelled the house I had be living in but it was a rental and I had moved all my stuff to safety so I didn't feel too bad about it. Great video as always and your humor is dryer than the Sahara, don't ever change.
Favorite insult in a video game (Final Fantasy VIII) Seifer: "...Instructor. I hate it when people wish me luck. Save those words for a bad student that needs them, eh?" Quistis: "Ok then. Good luck, Seifer."
Gotta say, this series has been one of my favourite lets-play-themed things on youtube. You break all the "rules" of producing good video content, which is I think one of the things I like about it, because the fact that everyone does the same stupid stuff like asking people to like and sbscribe, having irritating intro music etc, gets really really tiring for me. You two are refreshing because of the good discussion, and because you do things however the hell you like.
I think the key to it's success is that it's simple and not for profit. They just want to talk, play games, and entertain. The problem with a lot of channels is that they make it their livelihood and they then have to hustle like clowns and they don't offer great content to match.
Exactly. Besides this channel I like Totalbiscuit and Lord Karnage from Classic Game Room because they are genuine, take their time, and actually grown-ass people.
You make a good point Oda, of the professional channels I watch, I tend to prefer the ones that are least "professional" in their conduct, because the content feels alot more natural, and you tend to get more interesting videos. I'm a Total Biscuit watcher as well, as it happens, fer, and yes, he produces professional content, but doesn't try to hard-sell at you, which is refreshing.
Not that anyone is likely to care but The Dalles is pronounced "The dolls." Also, it's not so much that the game's tricky, more that it's mostly luck-based. I've had rations on filling and pace on steady and still had my party drop like flies. I've also had every single river crossing fuck up.
Gabe's let's play channel with his other buddy is pretty funny. Their PepsiMan episode was awesome. Keepetclassy is the channel for whoever doesn't know.
More like a lack of attention fail, or a lack of giving a fuck. Even with that self imposed handicap, they still made it through the game with only a minor loss of life.
Anyone else think Yahtzee's "girlfriend" is actually Gabe, and they're just trying to break the news a bit at a time rather than in one big reveal? Couple of weeks time we find out that "she" was born male, then later we're told "she" is pre-op, then they drop the pretense and admit it's a man, then finally just tell us that Gabe and Yahtzee have been making the beast with four balls for the last three years.
This had the most funny moments and commentary that you guys have had in a while. I was really surprised because I didn`t think this game could provide much by way of material
For those wondering: a 3ft deep river is actually a deceptively deadly proposition. With a river, even if the surface looks completely calm, there could be a seriously strong current hidden just below that would absolutely pull you under and drag you away. They're lucky they only lost an ox.
As someone who is a massive Iron Maiden fan, I ask this question "HOW THE FUCK DOES YAHTZEE NOT KNOW THE NAME OF THE SONG HE'S TALKING ABOUT WHEN IT'S LITERALLY IRON MAIDENS MOST FAMOUS SONG!!!" referring to when he was talking about power ballads and started singing Run To The Hills
Ah, you know what's funny. My sister is called Gabriella, I'm Gabriel, and my nickname is "Gabo". I will now call myself "The Gabernaut" in online multiplayer games.
45:30: oh my God, people make Game Grumps remixes all the time, someone PLEASE make a mix of Yahtzee and Gabe singing "Off to Oregon to found our nudist colony."
Yeah, I wasn't surprised to hear Yahtzee's reaction to someone approaching him. It's understandable. If I was ever in the Mana Bar and saw him, I'd probably just say hello at the most and otherwise leave him alone. This video was amusing for me in particular, because not only did I play this game in school, but I actually live in Oregon, and basically at the place where the trail ends.
I played this as the Batfamily. I just bought the bare minimum in everything but no food and maximum ammunition. I was able to get to Oregon, only Batman alive and barely, guns all over the place, more food than he can hope to eat, probably half insane. So it was the naked adventures of insane naked Batman with dead bodies strapped to the top of his wagon and laughing maniacally and his sidekick, the one oxen left alive.
I think he just wants to give context, like a qualification of her expertise on Oregon Trail. We all did play this thru elementary and middle school. I think it's a law or something.
Tried playing this myself Somehow a thief stole 4 ox in the night. 4 OX?! How do you steal 4 OX?! Wagon went so slow after that I basically lost almost immediately
+Agent Camtho one playthrough a got tired of running out of oxen so i bought 8. At the first river i attempted to ford it (it was three feet deep) and lost every single cattle 100 miles from the start. Fuck you Oregon trail.
It's not that the game is particularly difficult, it's that the results are based on randomness alone. You could start again with the best setup and die in less than a month. Secondly, as a kid, what was hard about this game was trying to beat it after getting the computer assignment done and before the computer time was over. Saving was not an option back then unfortunately. Living in Oregon, every computer at every school had a version of Oregon Trail on it for a very long period of time. This game was great because it was what kids got to play at school since it was labeled educational, not because it was the best game.
Kyler Lumpkin eh.net/encyclopedia/the-economics-of-the-civil-war/ history.state.gov/milestones/1861-1865/alabama And there's more than a few books about the civil war and the political and economic benefits behind supporting the south. Primarily though Southern cotton was dirt cheap to produce, and though the idea of slavery was not a popular one in Europe at the time, I'm sure britain and other nations had ideas where they could "help" slaves and give them a situation more like in India (which itself was groomed to take over production lost from the South being blockaded). Britain more than supported the south in materials (chief among things was building them ships for battle against he Union) and this also says nothing of the Trent Affair almost causing an international incident. Really the only thing that kept Britain out was Antietam (and is why I think its the most important battle of the war, just above Gettysburg). Without an early decisive victory on Union soil (as most battles thus far as been in the south), Britain wasn't confident it could shift the balance of power in the US landscape and that the Union would still be too formidable to attack (since they pretty much owned the Sea and starting war would likely bring in either France or Spain [or worse both, though primarily it would have been France] into the conflict on the Union side and start another war in Europe that would tie up the nations). But Britain still supported the confederacy through materials, giving them ships to battle the union blockade and disguising them as merchant vessels that would be turned to war ships and renamed and commanded by the confederates. But don't think Britain wouldn't have been above taking cheap cotton at the expense of slave labor from another nation, especially one across the ocean who enjoyed its privacy and could be written off as "Well, that's simply how things are done there, we've tried to teach thme the European way (twice) and they didn't take to it."
The European powers were tentavily supplying both sides of the civil war. They were hedging their bets to make sure the side that won wouldn't hate them. England itself was more pro union because the royal family told them to play nice but the British colonies (Mostly Canada) was in favor of the Confederates because British North Americans feared the North getting an economic monopoly, and Canada blamed the North for the War of 1812, despite the South and West were pushing for that war.
Wilamette Colorado was where Dead Rising one was set I believe. I live in the Willamette valley Oregon and it always kind of tripped me out when I go back to dead rising.
Yahtzee has a girlfriend? Oh just imagine all the fan girls crying in their corners over their lost dreams... *crickets* You never known love like a crickets love!
I ahve trouble sleeping and go from playlist to playlist on youtube when im in bed. I want you to know yahtzee that you and gabe are my current night time friends.. because i know how uncomfortable that will make you
Probably one of the of the most fun Drown Outs yet. And I really do enjoy these much more than ZP, although both are obviously great sources of amusement.
"I desesperately want Yahtzee to wind up with a child. I would love that to death. Turn him into a loving parent"
Well Gabe, you got your wish
Now we need them to do more Let's Drown Outs so that Gabe could laugh at Yahtzee the whole bit.
It was at this point of the video that I scrolled down to the comments to see this comment commented :D
@@Pikkabuu He has 2 kids now. XD
@@TheVelvetwarrior
I know. Hence I want Gabriel to point and laugh at Yahtzee.
@@Pikkabuu XD Let's all laugh an imbecile who never learned anything, teeheehee
*Shows Yahtzee controls*
'Don't patronise me game'
*Never works out how to walk*
This is also known as "Egoraptor Syndrome"
you can't walk.
Yes you can.
*Calls Americans stupid*
*Can't figure out how to aim diagonally after calling tutorial patronizing and ignoring it*

no. you can't. you can strangely wobble around like a crippled duck
Gabe screaming Wu Tang is now my text alert. It's a wonderful little quote.
@@NightsidePoet how often do people really change their text tones. Mine has been Obi Wan “Hello there” for years
"I wish one of my kids would die so they don't eat so much food." Best Yahtzee quote to take out of context ever.
Yahrtzee is father of the year.
Someone should record it and play it to his children of the future.
Darc Gibson | This is a recording.
You know, he's a dad now.
"He's bred! That's fucking frightening!" - Yahtzee Croshaw
"Another fucking river!" Ohh Gabe, this is the American Midwest. We have more rivers here than we have marketable jobs.
But id rather drown to death than grow up in a Christian family.
July 2019.
Still my favorite couple to listen to while falling asleep.
Same.
Same in 2022.
Game: "Press 4 to see the difference between these choices"
Yahtzee: "What's the difference between these professions?"
"I'd love to see Yahtzee wind up with a child, I'd love to watch it *change you and turn you into a loving parent*"
Cannot, stop laughing.
That transformation would probably be more agonizing then the one from American Werewolf in London.
I feel you need to know, he's getting one now
DarkorthAurelius He’s got one. It’s fuggin magnificent
Gabe now confirmed to be precognizant entity.
@@TheCorrodedMan So it did change him? Amazing.
I think this is one of my favourite LDOs.
It's so nice to hear Yahtzee and Gabe just chatting and laughing with one another and not getting on each others nerves.
8.5 years later and the I'm still wondering what Yahtzee's answer to my question is (Gabe answered and then Yahtzee got distracted by the introduction to HoMaster).
"Nothing for us in Californ-ie!" And now he lives there. XD
Singing the A-team to get across the river was priceless and awesome!
I just realized this is the first appearance of Homaster
The start of a gripping saga
Angus Seydel Damnit, I'm not attentive enough to find his later appearances.
I'll compile a list, for the benefit of humanity
Well?
misread homaster as homestar
I was incredibly confused for a second
It took me 5 minutes to stop laughing when Yahtzee claimed to love the song "Run For Your Lives" and proceeded to start singing "Run to the Hills" by Iron Maiden.
I knew something was off about that
Yahtzee and Gabe confirmed luckiest human beings on the planet.
OptimusSledge Right, because the game randomly screwing you over with no warning is totally a matter of low intelligence.
*****
You believe whatever you need to. Which is the American way, really.
OptimusSledge Okay then, if you're so great, many variants of this game are free. Play some and see how well you do. Also, why do you assume that I'm American? Maybe I've just heard of the game over the internet, since it was only in schools from the 1980's-the late 90's.

This episode is pure gold. So many great moments.
Gabe screaming 'WU TANG!' at 8:13 is my sexuality
Walking is literally the first sentence in the instructions, and somehow he misses it EVERY TIME.

Gabriella has died of backtalk
Yahtzee : That'll teach you woman
Hahahahahahaha !
it's Yahrtzee

Laying in bed feeling a little bored. Phone makes dinging sound. Maybe it's a girl I'm attracted to. Oh, nope, it's just Let's Drown Out... Fuck yeah, stoked.
Haha, you don't seriously think that any girl would contact you, do you?
Totallynotkyubey I make fake female accounts and message myself.
Scott Nicholson i laughed, but then i felt sad. I wasnt ready for youtube to make me feel things that arent utter hate. Think i love you now sir
Well get off your arse and go contact attractive girls yourself!
Diego Carnaval as tempting as that is, Yahtzee and Gabe are the only attractive females I need :).
If only Yahtzee had read the hunting instructions...
Then he may have realized that "Enter" lets you walk...
When Gabe made the Skeksis caw, I *know* Yahtzee turned his head to look at him, and he was thinking "how, and why, the hell did you make *that* sound".

Yahtzee does a southern accent for a Native American warrior - 10/10 historical accuracy

Strangely appropriate considering the game.

GREETINGS FROM THE FUTURE! Yahtzee has a daughter now.
Two daughters now.
ALL I WANTED TO DO IS GO TO OREGON
Space Oregon.
This was the best episode of lets drown out ever.
Gabriel shouting "WU-TAAAANG!!" around 8:15 gives me life.
The A-Team chorus at 29 minutes is the finest moment on the internet, and will be for all time.
Oregon Trail 2 is the definitive Oregon Trail experience
LOL "Fucking Matt sold us a dodgy ox!"
The fact it happened right after you departed made it so much funnier
I love "Run For Your Life" too. It's my favourite Iron Lady song, just after "Six Six Six!"
"Yahtzee's a terrible friend, and I'm a fucking shut in." My new favourite quote.
Yahtzee and Gabe are my favorite homosexuals on the Internet.

And it did indeed change him into a loving parent.
"Is an honest to God lolli" -Gabriel talking about yatzhee
Not that anyone is likely to care but The Dalles is pronounced "The dolls."
Also, it's not so much that the game's tricky, more that it's mostly luck-based. I've had rations on filling and pace on steady and still had my party drop like flies. I've also had every single river crossing fuck up.
Not quite. Its a long A sound. "The dolls" is probably correct to the French it comes from, but not how locals pronounce it.
Who is rewatchng these now the series is finished?
Stop reminding me it hurts to much
Every Sunday morning I check my RUclips subscriptions out of habit, and subsequently ruin my day :(
Gabe's let's play channel with his other buddy is pretty funny. Their PepsiMan episode was awesome. Keepetclassy is the channel for whoever doesn't know.
Hamish Marshall I never stopped watching them. I just start the series over when I finish it.
Also, Yahtzee streams weekly on the EscapistPlays channel, and makes his gf play DS3 on a weekly basis, too. :D
*Press ENTER to start or stop walking.
"It's such bullshit that you can't move."
Literacy fail.
More like a lack of attention fail, or a lack of giving a fuck. Even with that self imposed handicap, they still made it through the game with only a minor loss of life.
Paul Dennett Gabriel and his numerous clones are rather expendable, yes.
Paul Dennett i hope that 1 minor loss is davie.
Not like people watch these for the actual gameplay.
Ahh, the purple hills of the continental US. Truly beautiful
As someone who lives only 30 minutes away from that hell hole. Its called the The Dalles as in pals.

I almost died laughing this was the best Drown out so far i think
Anyone else think Yahtzee's "girlfriend" is actually Gabe, and they're just trying to break the news a bit at a time rather than in one big reveal? Couple of weeks time we find out that "she" was born male, then later we're told "she" is pre-op, then they drop the pretense and admit it's a man, then finally just tell us that Gabe and Yahtzee have been making the beast with four balls for the last three years.
Thats no big secret or surprise though. I think he actually has a girlfriend, thats much more shocking!
The horror, the horror...
The beast with four balls?
JOSUKE HIGASHIKATA?
Yahtzee is the big spoon, but they both tell everyone that Gabe is because he acts the part better
*****
It's this weird thing called friendship. Heard of it?
"Don't patronize meeeee," Yahtzee says to the instructions screen. He then proceeds to conclude that you can't walk or shoot diagonally.
Wooosh

I looked down in the comments to see when Yahtzee figured out the walking controls only to be met with laughable disappointment
This has to be my favourite "Let's drown out"!
This episode is undefeated as a sleep aid
I love this series, it's so mind-numbing and vacuous; it captivates me.
First and only time I've heard any Iron Maiden song called a power ballad.
"Run to the Hills" has rather fitting lyrics for this episode, though.
this
Nate Woods Wasting Love definitely qualifies as a power ballad to me, for one.
Honestly this has been the funniest Let's Drown Out and it's the most like a let's play.
As someone who is a massive Iron Maiden fan, I ask this question
"HOW THE FUCK DOES YAHTZEE NOT KNOW THE NAME OF THE SONG HE'S TALKING ABOUT WHEN IT'S LITERALLY IRON MAIDENS MOST FAMOUS SONG!!!"
referring to when he was talking about power ballads and started singing Run To The Hills
19:23 "I love how you're stuck just standing still". Oh FFS
Ah, you know what's funny. My sister is called Gabriella, I'm Gabriel, and my nickname is "Gabo". I will now call myself "The Gabernaut" in online multiplayer games.

This or Viscera Cleanup Detail for me
How the cluck are they breaking their legs while riding in a wagon? I mean I know the trail was rough but DAMN!
For the most part people walked the trail. The wagon was to haul necessities and whatever personal effects you brought with you.
Christ this was the funniest drown out I've listened to yet
Yahtzee affecting a HORRIBLE southern accent is the best thing I've seen today.
This was hilarious XD I loved how you sang together as you crossed the rivers, and it was super adorable how you celebrated when you succedeed
It's been almost 7 years and I'm still annoyed by the controls bit.
LOLed at the whole thing! So very funny! Especially the attempt to sing "I Believe in a Thing Called Love". XD
Yahtzee ignores "Press enter to walk"
Yeah, I wasn't surprised to hear Yahtzee's reaction to someone approaching him. It's understandable. If I was ever in the Mana Bar and saw him, I'd probably just say hello at the most and otherwise leave him alone.
This video was amusing for me in particular, because not only did I play this game in school, but I actually live in Oregon, and basically at the place where the trail ends.
"I can't wait for my kids to die so they'll eat less food." - That's exactly how I played Papers, Please.
I played this as the Batfamily. I just bought the bare minimum in everything but no food and maximum ammunition. I was able to get to Oregon, only Batman alive and barely, guns all over the place, more food than he can hope to eat, probably half insane. So it was the naked adventures of insane naked Batman with dead bodies strapped to the top of his wagon and laughing maniacally and his sidekick, the one oxen left alive.
Hah the way Yahtzee keeps inserting 'my American gf' he sounds so ultra proud it's cute :] Either that or he's trying to make Gabe jealous.
I think he just wants to give context, like a qualification of her expertise on Oregon Trail. We all did play this thru elementary and middle school. I think it's a law or something.
Congratulations, Yahtzee and Gabe, for somehow making the plight of someone named HoMaster something I could empathize with.
Tried playing this myself
Somehow a thief stole 4 ox in the night.
4 OX?! How do you steal 4 OX?!
