Oh man, coming back to this as 2023 approaches gives us the sinking feeling that we are just trying to chase nostalgia as the cruel march of time sands down the number of family members we have, we've all experienced having three close family members die over the course of three years, right?
For me it's any of their traditional let's plays and Ego Review. Today I felt like putting this on to wind down for the evening but I'm thinking I'm going to put on Dreamweb when I go to bed.
I remember playing this game as a kid and eventually (after years) getting to the end only to die because I didn’t pick up that fucking rubber band from several hours earlier. Seriously, that has to be one of the cheapest things in any game ever made. It’s like looking for a needle in a haystack when you aren’t aware that a needle even exists let alone that you _require_ one... whilst also avoiding sharks.
As for why Eric Chahi is absent from this, according to Wikipedia: "After Future Wars was released in 1989, Chahi had the choice to either work on Cuisset's next game, Operation Stealth, or create his own game." He chose to create his own game, which turned out to be a little game called Another World. Just imagine, he could have been working on THIS instead of single-handedly creating one of the best game of all time...
The best part was loading this up with the Amiga's extra memory so that the robotic Amiga speech synthesizer would read all of the dialogue. "HALT! YOU ARE NOT EMM ARR MAR-TIN-EZZ" And then you'd try to click through the dialogue and it would crash. Those were the days eh
Coloradoguy234 Good news is they said, specifically Gabriel on twitter, that they are bored of the let's drown out series. Hopefully that means they will do more let's plays now.
Now that Let's Drown Out is over, people are complaining on those videos that they want more Let's Drown Out. "Fans want something new that's exactly the same." - Gabriel Morton, 2014
Still to this day my favourite Yahtzee lets play. Cos lets face it, if there's any genre that perfectly fits the Yahtzee and Gabe treatment, it's the Spy genre and Bond as a character
"Oh yes, left me off here please. This place looks lovely, well seen enough of that, lets go back" that is totally me when my family takes me on vacations and want to go sightseeing
I read the Extra Punctuation today, read about some LP channel "Tossbag Bunkercunt" was doing every once in a while, and I immediately went to the blog and here to such a warm intro that my day is officially not bad anymore.
can you imagine being a fan of these videos and then coming into class one day to find Gabe is your teacher? I'm not sure if it would be the most wonderful or most terrible experience
1:11:05 i can't help but think there was a missed opportunity for Otto to win the fight because he looks exactly like John and the player unknowingly controls him for the last bit of the game. probably a bad ending or something :P
It is somehow comforting to learn that I am not the only one that slugged through those damn rat mazes only to find myself at the end of the game and not have the godforsaken rubber band required to finish it!
I always loved when a game's manual had a little in-universe booklet thing. The original Assassin's Creed had one and even pointed out how you always die when you touch water. The first 3 Sly Cooper games had that too but when one of my friends gave me Sly 3 as a gift it was pre-owned and lacked the manual.
What always sticks out in my mind is the manual for Donkey Kong Country. It had a more in depth story, details on all environments, characters, and items. Best part was Cranky Kong commenting in character on everything in the manual.
I like how obscure Gabe was, "I imagine him with a really thick South Carolinian accent", like who the fuck even pays attention to North or South Carolina or knows the accent specifically
Wait... when John and the woman got thrown off the boat, Uber-Guevara threw them off first and the rocks tied to their feet followed. I don't think that's how it works.
At 1:11:00 I find it hilarious that the guards continue to operate the computers even though the base is going to self destruct and Glames is escaping.
That baggage claim area taught me a valuable lesson. From now on, whenever I have anything else like this, I shall go ahead and finish it with the knowledge that it’s like I did nothing.
Donald Neuhaus - correct, but Langley, VA borders DC and the CIA headquarters is literally just across the river from DC. It's the Washington metro area. I'm not saying you're wrong, but it barely qualifies as a mistake.
Since someone already responded proper I will comment... holy shit your user name is amazing! When the Google+ thing happened half a decade ago, my user name was automatically replaced by my actual name which is bawler for someone trying to maintain some level of online anonymity.
When I watch these games I think back to how similar these play to Yahtzee's games, and then I remember how his games managed to do this so well. THANK YOU YAHTZEE!
The booklet for Professor Layton and Pandora's Box had a pull-out train ticket that you could use to help solve one of the puzzles. I thought that was quite cool at the time :D
fun fact: one of the main people in Delphine Software and the designer of Flashback, Paul Cuisset, is now co-owner of VectorCell, and was the director of Amy, the survival-horror game from 2012 that nobody liked. he's come so far.
I like to think that as well. I just kinda scrolled down on accident while watching the video, followed this comment thread and had my day instantly bettered.
Actually, I think the "life bracelets" they mention at like 26:00 or so are those inflatable....wing things? For learning to swim? They're sort of like inflatable rings that go onto your upper arms. Maybe that?
water wings? I can see how they may have meant that but those aren't bracelets and I think they were hung up on the use of the word bracelet which implies use at the wrist.
Man, Delphine loved adding joke characters there were no need for at the end of games. They did it with the second head A.I. in Future Wars and they did it here with Dr Why.
1:15:46 There's a US-based South African actor and film director called Daniel Bonjour. He was in the Hitman and Final Fantasy series as well as the Walking Dead TV show.
you should do lets play of the Wedjet Eye collection, all 4 games now on sale for $8.96 on gog. The series is probably one of the best sci-fi point and click adventure games I've ever played.
Manhunter: Phillipe's head Future Wars: Future Wars' buttocks Operation Stealth: Buffalo wing arms If these two keep it up they'll have enough parts for a whole person.
I remember playing this game and sitting for fucking hours on that bench with the carnation and the guy never came.... it was fucking furious because it was just broken, no matter how many times I redid it :/
The Chzo Mythos were pretty good. And 1213, although the boss battles were annoying at times because of the way the engine handles non-platforming combat.
A decade later and these are still my go-to sleepytime videos
The videos he does without Gabe don’t come close to how good these were
@@CammieRacing Now would be the best time for a comeback.
Also me checking in
I can’t explain why this is a comfort video for me, it’s just nice
Most of let's drown out is. But this and the other self-contained full game ones stand out
These help me sleep
Same
Oh man coming back to this in 2020 is like putting on old familiar slippers
Oh man, coming back to this in 2022 is like returning to a time that will never be recreated
Returning to this anytime that isn’t 2013 is depressing because I miss these playthroughs.
Oh man, coming back to this as 2023 approaches gives us the sinking feeling that we are just trying to chase nostalgia as the cruel march of time sands down the number of family members we have, we've all experienced having three close family members die over the course of three years, right?
I hope these stay up for a long time. I love them so much. ❤

This video is seriously my GO-TO for sleep. Perfect comfort food to drift away to
I agree. All their adventure game lets plays are gold
For me it's any of their traditional let's plays and Ego Review. Today I felt like putting this on to wind down for the evening but I'm thinking I'm going to put on Dreamweb when I go to bed.
Hey. July 2022 and these two are still my best sleep aid.
It's been almost a decade and I'm yet to find anyone else like them.
True. I just need to make sure to start it after the IT'S OPENING JOHN!!!!
You guys get me.
I remember playing this game as a kid and eventually (after years) getting to the end only to die because I didn’t pick up that fucking rubber band from several hours earlier.

Well, clearly he missed out.
"DELPHINE! YOU ARSEHOLES!"
Makes me laugh every time.
On the other hand, operation stealth, would be a perfect name for an EXTREMELY NOISY INVASION WITH LOTS OF BULLETS, and various other pleasantries.
For those who didn’t know Yahtzee and Gabe did two post zp commentaries on vampyr and Jurassic world evolution last year ❤
On which channel?

CIA!
CIA Headquarters!
Man at a desk!
Yahtzee you need to finish this song.
I was eating ravioli with spicy curry and had it right in my mouth when Yahtzee shouted "IT'S OPENING, JOHN!" My nostrils are now burning.
I hope your nostrils have since recovered
I miss these complete let's plays. I certainly enjoy Let's Drown Out, but I liked seeing them rag on the ends of shitty games as well.
Yeah, there's definitely something lost when they don't actually play through a game.
xHasten Agreed. Maybe we'll get some full LPs with the after Christmas drought.
Coloradoguy234 Good news is they said, specifically Gabriel on twitter, that they are bored of the let's drown out series. Hopefully that means they will do more let's plays now.
there back

"Fans want something new that's exactly the same." - Gabriel Morton, 2014
Watching in 2020, still miss those guys.
tbh
assuming you saw the unlisted ones when Gabe visits California?
2022
Their banter in the black void at the end of the game is always the best part.
POO
Still to this day my favourite Yahtzee lets play. Cos lets face it, if there's any genre that perfectly fits the Yahtzee and Gabe treatment, it's the Spy genre and Bond as a character
Cheers for putting these out, they brighten up my day every time.

can you imagine being a fan of these videos and then coming into class one day to find Gabe is your teacher? I'm not sure if it would be the most wonderful or most terrible experience
I still watch this every now and then cos I just can’t get over Glames, John Glames!
i wait in great anticipation for every coming installment in this series. sadly and strangely one of my favorite things on the internet.
Thank you for this video. I used to watch my brother play this video game about a thousand times. I LOVE those old point and click games.
1:15
What I immediately thought of when I saw that face was the phrase "By Azura, by Azura, by Azura!"
Love watching these
Alternatively at 13:05 you can throw the bag in the trash bin in the toilets and he doesn't question you.
Yahtzee's Sean Connery impression is just too much. My stomach is in cramps from laughter!
Hello to people still using these videos to sleep, as I am right now.
I am right now
Samsies
I like how at the end they're more focused on King Pin more than the fact the lady has a giraffe neck
The amount of caps lock and punctuation abuse in this game, it could be a youtube comment.
Hello, don't mind me, just here for my semi-anual rewatching of at least one Yatzee19 video.
this and future wars are on the delphi evercade cartridge.
1:11:05 i can't help but think there was a missed opportunity for Otto to win the fight because he looks exactly like John and the player unknowingly controls him for the last bit of the game.
probably a bad ending or something :P
Or maybe you were Otto all along, and the other Otto was just a figment of your imagination.
Unreliable controller, much better than the unreliable narrator.
So who else is watching this for the 4th time?
400th
Once the video finishes for me today, it will be my 12th time.
Still worh it
+McSupine I lost count a long time ago.
My 10000000000001th time
I love these guys just talking and playing the most ancient of adventure games
For as mediocre as this game was, I gotta say it had really great sound.
You guys wonder about that latina's walk animation, I'm more worried about her pyramid hairdo.
It is somehow comforting to learn that I am not the only one that slugged through those damn rat mazes only to find myself at the end of the game and not have the godforsaken rubber band required to finish it!
Yahtzee is a pretty cool guy, he plays games and doesn't afraid of anything.
I always loved when a game's manual had a little in-universe booklet thing. The original Assassin's Creed had one and even pointed out how you always die when you touch water. The first 3 Sly Cooper games had that too but when one of my friends gave me Sly 3 as a gift it was pre-owned and lacked the manual.
did you kill him? Was his flesh delicious?
He was ashamed for not having the manual. I think making him torture his family to death was enough.
What always sticks out in my mind is the manual for Donkey Kong Country. It had a more in depth story, details on all environments, characters, and items. Best part was Cranky Kong commenting in character on everything in the manual.
The good ole days when Yahtzee didn't have the girlfriend and plays with Gabe.
I don't think a big enough deal was made about how Glames is wearing white socks with a suit.
The guy behind the desk looks like john cleese
The other man also has quite the silly walk.
Sadly Google searching "Ian Fleming back hair fetish" yielded no results.
Jon Reed Edworthy Still no dice, damn!
All you need to do is read the first chapter of From Russia With Love.
It's aaaaaaaaall downhill from there.
Oh god 10 years...
I like how obscure Gabe was, "I imagine him with a really thick South Carolinian accent", like who the fuck even pays attention to North or South Carolina or knows the accent specifically
Yahtzee, your Lets Plays are easily my favorites on RUclips. Keep it up. Please?
Wait... when John and the woman got thrown off the boat, Uber-Guevara threw them off first and the rocks tied to their feet followed. I don't think that's how it works.
Uber Che-guevara has a lot of muscle but very little of it is in his head.
The brain is not a muscle...
@@blindbeholder9713 r/woosh
Not how that works.
Clearly you never listen to soviet instructor
right when i'm losing hope about these, you guys always make another. thank you for this =)
It'S OPenInG JoHN!!!
At 1:11:00 I find it hilarious that the guards continue to operate the computers even though the base is going to self destruct and Glames is escaping.
Love the fact that Miller's Crossing was mentioned here, ALWAYS PUT ONE IN THE BRAIN
Watching from the future, can't help but say
KNIARK! KNIARK! KNIARK!
... now i cant sleep without Yahtzee's soothing voice
Quite smart of delphine to put credits right over the body of that one guy in the beginning, makes it easier not to notice it
That baggage claim area taught me a valuable lesson. From now on, whenever I have anything else like this, I shall go ahead and finish it with the knowledge that it’s like I did nothing.
This is me scrolling idly through the comments, and then this baffling statement appears.
Damn, I just found out that there is in fact the band called Menudo. And it started the career of Ricky Martin.
I was only just thinking of this let's play very fondly, and had to come back and watch this on my saturday morning off.
i made it through the entire video without laughing out loud, but when gabe said Poo! as the last thing i just cracked up.
Love your lets plays please keep it up
I just noticed that at the beginning it says "Washington, D.C.-- CIA Headquarters." Isn't the CIA based in Langley, Virginia?
The government has been lying to you the whole time I'm afraid
Because America isn't the only one who makes mistakes like that, contrary to what some might think. X3. I like to think of it as vindication.
Donald Neuhaus - correct, but Langley, VA borders DC and the CIA headquarters is literally just across the river from DC. It's the Washington metro area. I'm not saying you're wrong, but it barely qualifies as a mistake.
Yes, but it was made by a French company, so them not knowing that, and assuming the CIA is headquartered in the nation's capital, isn't surprising.
@@theblackwidower huh, this is a weirdly recent comment. But yeah its where you would assume it would be
Ive been waiting for another lets play for such a long time
27:07 No... No... I clean.
need more lemon pledge
I just had a fucking horrible day so thank you Yahtzee and Gabe for making it better
I've watch this video a few times now and I only just realised that the head of the CIA looks like pixelated John Cleese
this look like it could be a james bond game
+Triple anal fisting has ruined my mind and forever corrupted my soul™ FUNNY you should say that!

Awesome birthday present Yahtzee! Even if it was a day late. tssk tssk
I was taking a drink during the ITS OPENING JOHN line. I had to stop and clean up after.
I like to think that as well.

I remember "cracking" this game by having access to a pro color photo copier. Laminated the cards for good measure.
Funny how I was just watching some TCR videos then I go to watch this and you are one of the top comments. "Dammit NavyHuskie!"
Ben, Gabe, please release more of these let's play videos
Manhunter: Phillipe's head
Future Wars: Future Wars' buttocks
Operation Stealth: Buffalo wing arms
If these two keep it up they'll have enough parts for a whole person.
I've been doing the same thing. Put these all in a watch later list and let it play while I sleep.
I remember playing this game and sitting for fucking hours on that bench with the carnation and the guy never came.... it was fucking furious because it was just broken, no matter how many times I redid it :/
Turning on subtitles adds to the fun. As accurate as the game reviewed; spot on, except when it completely flummoxes you.
ITS OPENING JOHN!
The Chzo Mythos were pretty good. And 1213, although the boss battles were annoying at times because of the way the engine handles non-platforming combat.
4:00 is that a Micky mouse figurine on the left hand side of the desk ??
Of course, all Americans love Mickey Mouse and own at least one piece of memorabilia they make visible at all times.
Here I thought I'd just quickly check youtube before going to bed. NOPE. MUST. WATCH. YAHTZEE AND GABRIEL.
