"Hi Pamela can you give me the time of day?" is how I always imagined Dan and I would start our friendship.
Lol I got to admit that it sounds like a good ice breaker if done pointing to one's wrist.
Tell Dan I'm wearing the blue game grumps glasses and then wait exactly one day and then rub arins right cheek and whisper my name, then once they inevitabley ask what your talking about change the subject to something else

It sounds like this is running on an emulator.

"Reporters act of their own free will."
Corporations: No.
Nah, that's fake news.
@@bionicdragon5 The point is that all mainstream media is fake news because it's all bought and paid for to serve whatever political agenda the corporation that owns it has. You can find videos of literally hundreds of "news" stations all around the country using the exact same script for the exact same stories. They're fed scripts by the corporations that own them and don't report the OBJECTIVE news, they only report things in a way that serves their corporation's political agenda.
@@L33PL4Y M-m-m-manufacturing Conseeeent.
@@L33PL4Y I mean that's not entirely accurate. They still report actual things that happen but then can skew them in one direction or another. Most mainstream media outlets, contrary to popular belief, don't just make things up out of thin air. They either omit, or manipulate already existing information which IS true.
@@Andrew-fi1sd You misunderstand. I'm not saying they make things up. I'm saying they will distort the truth to fit whatever political agenda they have. You're getting propaganda built from what started as a kernel of truth.

@@Lucifersfursonathat scene always gets me its so fucking funny
23:39 Arin quietly giggling and zooming in on Brisco's blank expression killed me
Dan: Was there anything you could do to save her?
Arin: I don't think so.
*Flashback to the tutorial mentioning if you press Triangle you can save someone by putting the camera down. Cut to the assessment of how that level ended and they got an Immorality score of 102.*
.... Nope. Nothing they could've done....
My exact thoughts. I love watching Grumps. but so many times I've just spent episodes shouting to myself how the mechanic they just explain was the solution to the problem.
@@nazekaj2849 I think they were expecting a Triangle call out like there was for the tutorial.
I think the problem came from the tutorial actually giving them an on screen button prompt, as that kind of implies that you'll always get one in that situation, which is probably why they assumed they couldn't do anything. I was kind of confused about it myself, although I would've tried hitting triangle anyways, just to be on the safe side.
You can't actually save the first reporter.
RomeN eMpyre Pamela sucks so

Ah, a C meant Camera
To be fair, Tom Servo and Crow would be watching this and riffing on it too.
That’s why you can’t open doors!!!!
This game is offensively bad.
I need more.
It actually has some interesting concepts that don't come across in this video and weren't really utilized/realized well in the final game. I'd imagine the voice acting is better in the Japanese version, but I'm not spending the time to try to find out.
@@FredCracklin I took the time to find out and honestly, it's better. But not by much.

@Tenoki yes
@@dragonhugger16 bro 10/10 reply xD
You know how when they first ran, the game lagged like crazy? The same thing happens to the audio but constantly. That's why the voice actors constantly sound like they are sedated, it's slowed down.
That would suck for the VAs, to be in a game that makes them sound like audio molasses lives in their esophagus
This is a game called Michigan: Report from Hell and it doesn't take place in Hell Michigan or Michigan at all?!?1?! I'm sad
IIRC the Japanese devs were confused as to where Chicago was. They legit thought it was in Michigan. XD
@@planescaped Considering how much shit we Americans get wrong about geography don't know if we can really complain
My bets were on "Illinois: Report From Hell" had less of a ring to it but it was too late to change the city lmao
I guess Chicago being on Lake Michigan was confusing for them.
@@tricksfollies9549 Yeah pretty sure Google existed when this game was being developed. I know an American who set his internet fiction story in Japan and researched the precise times of major trains at key stations around the city. Before Google.
He had a budget of $0 and some bagels for this research.

You're in your bed, and you hear a floorboard creak outside your room... The door slowly opens, and you hear a voice whisper hoarsely:
*"Wake up, it's time for a scoop."*
Arin: Ice Cream?
12:04 I love how they both did the same joke at the same time and didn't even acknowledge it XD
When they rammed into Ann I literally lost my shit laughing that was the most useless suspense I’ve ever seen in a video game. I’m so glad they played this - it’s art in a way.
Arin and Dan are such a good comedy team and every video they do is a blessing honestly. Especially when they play a game like this and react to it.
"RAM HER ARIN!!"
Alright Dan, take it easy.
wild Arin approaches Suzy
wild Arin starts shaking.
*They said* _"press 🔺 triangle to stop a scoop and help"._ *I wonder if Ann could have been saved.*
"I am showing human emotions! Unlike what a zognoid would portray!!"
"But no human would use words like 'showing' with their -er, OUR- superior vocabulary! They -er, WE- have a vocabulary far exceeding that of a zognoid."
"I mean... What's a zognoid? I, a human, have never heard such a term with my chemokinetic auditory receptors!"
The tradition of terrible “horror” games continues and it’s great
"You hear that?"
Not really with the game's volume being as low as it is.
elric6 after seven years of people making this comment they still do nothing about the game audio
Not that I agree, but it's probably because their commentary is more valuable in their eyes. The jokes would be funnier if we could hear what they were making fun of
@@shaddowsdieout you'd think that if they make a point of mentioning the awful voices acting they's make it audible
I hear it just fine. Sounds like some people have no issues and some do. But since some of us hear just fine i wouldnt blame the grumps.
@@filmfangirls9163 It's really not subtle, good audio balancing isn't about technically being able to hear 90% of what's going on
All things considered, I think Brisco's voice actor was genuinely putting his all into this role. He probably didn't have much experience, but it's at least mediocre rather than awful.
Ddddaaaaammmitt!
The drunk piano scene is a treasure and i thank his voice actor for their incredible service
Arin: "Why does the camera keep focusing on her butt?"
"BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT GETS RATINGS, ARIN!!"
Serious question: does this game actually take place in Chicago or did the devs really think Chicago was in Michigan?
I mean i'm guessing the whole "Michigan" thing in the title is for lake michigan but then again if the game is about lake michigan then why is it centered in Illinois the state with the second smallest portion of the lake in it? 😂😂
And why the fuck would you call a game Michigan if it was in Illinois? I have so many questions my head is about to explode. Jesus christ.
Dude it's like the same thing
@@wiggl3s_821 10:47 Question answered!
I thought it was going to take place in Hell, Michigan and now I’m disappointed.
23:47 "Are you sure, 'cause before she died she was like, what the hell is that". It's a wonderful sentence because it conjures up so many crazy images.
"Oh it's water" has real "Today is football" energy.
Fun Fact: This game was planned by Suda51, the guy behind Killer 7, Lollipop Chainsaw, and No More Heroes. To my knowledge, this is the only game he has made where you aren't a contract assassin.
"...And that's why we turn down the volume to where it's barely audible"
The voice acting on this game is like if everyone is inadvertently attempting to make double entendres, but nothing is actually a double entendre.
*I’m /borrowing/ the new guy!*
Then you find out Pammy told that to her bf, for an added bit of entendre. (Which itself seems like an odd term as double entendre means double hearing)
Speaking as someone from Michigan, I can confirm this is just how we talk.
"RAM HER ARIN!" And she just collapses to the floor. I'm in tears!!! XD
Love how Dan, no matter how many times he does it, never learns to plan his Postmates deliveries around the episodes properly
He discovered ages ago that we dont give a shit so he doesnt either
This is exactly what living in Michigan is like.
Source: Am from Michigan.
CPTNSL0 they don’t even set the game in Michigan, it’s all in Chicago
However this takes place in Chicago, Cook County, IL.
CPTNSL0 aww same bro
I mean, there is a city called "Hell" here. woulda been funny if it took place there but oh well.
How's Chicago because the game producers didn't know America well and placed Chicago in Michigan?
"i'm not the one... who's so far away". Arin Hanson is a national treasure and no one can convince me otherwise.
Let me try:
*International treasure
The slow speaking makes me think entirely of “wrestle with Jimmy”
When I first read "E is for Erotic Points", I thought Ben was doing another silly edit. Then it turned out to be real.
If you spend the entire game taking upskirt shots of the reporter you get a different ending.
When Brisco said that "Damnit!" I thought it sounded like Dan too lol
When I emulated this game years ago, everyone was talking like that as well. As it turns out I was able to change some settings on the emulator itself to make the dialogue come out at what I assume was real-time.
Was it any better?
Brisco gave some feeling to his lines it just seemed like his direction was off, but as soon as Pamela started talking I thought "Oh this is gonna be gooood."
all these years I just realized Pamela Martell and Ann Anderson's names were from Pamela Anderson and Annie Martell
blacksiopao All these years? You knew about this game before today?
@@ShelCorporation i owned it
blacksiopao I don’t use the word hero often, but you sir are the greatest hero in American history
Arin: Do you wanna do another episode of this?
Dan "I'm into it!" Avidan: I'm not sure...
Wow.
Dan: "Is this thispresonsfirsttimespeakingengliiiissh...?" Lol love you Dan
After watching Jerma985 play this, I knew we were in for something special.
Also, it sounds like the in-engine dialogue was recorded at a normal talking speed but slowed down in post for some reason.
"What a guy!"
"Makes you cry..."
"Und I did."
To anyone who hasn't played or watched this game before...
You're in for a real treat.
Nice profile pic
The part with Brisco at the piano had me in stitches
19:56 that was an impeccable Neil Breen impression from Dan
Dan should star as Neil Breen in a movie about Neil Breen.
Jean-Paul Sartre: "Hell is other people."
Also Sartre, after theoretically viewing this episode: "I take it back: this game is worse."
Well, people made this game, so his original statement still holds up.
PLEASE play this one in its entirety. Oh my goodness this is fantastic!!!
At 14:48
Dan: Was there anything you could've done to save her
Arin: No
Me: goes back to 9:52
At a glance the Grumps seemed to be everything I dislike about the Gamer Era: adults behaving like immature children, laughing and swearing instead of meaningful dialogue, giving actual kids the impression that they never need to grow up and contribute to society. This video proved those assumptions wrong. There are brains behind the banter. The commentary chipped away my presumptions. I had to go on to Part 2, and was sad that we never got a Part 3. It's amazing what laughter can do.
“Could you go? COULD YOU GO?” Immediately made me think of “COULD YOU COME. COULD YOU COME PLEASE.”
This makes me miss the deadly premonition series that they didn't finish.
Ethan Sherrod Yeah I’m getting serious Deadly Premonition vibes from this.
In this episode: everybody complains about the volume like my family fighting over the remote on Thanksgiving.
"Arin, you're a voice actor. Take some notes."
That's high quality voice acting right there
Not even actual voice actors could do what this people are doing
Worst voice acting ever?
House of the Dead 2: "Hold my beer."
Suffer like G diiiiiiiiiid

Before Pamela was eaten, I thought someone shouted “World Star”, but they did not. It seemed fitting.
The greatest cameramen that ever lived
“Damnit” 😂😂😂
“Worst voice acting!”
*literally can’t hear the voice acting over them talking*
Yeah, wish they'd balance the volume a bit, either they're too loud or the game is too quiet, no happy medium. :(
They always do this, it just more annoying this time because they not only talk about it at the start of the episode they titled the damn video to point it out. I'm dipping out on this because at half volume they already load enough to be heard across the house and I still cant hear the parts they aren't talking over.
@@jtf5223 You (and the others having this issue) might need to sound balance, I can hear them and the game fine.
@@kirbwarriork3371 how on Earth would I do something that they should've done when editing?
@@jtf5223 That's what confuses me. I spent a day setting up my sound system to balance all my game devices. When I play a game, video, or anything on television that has poor balance, it's extremely obvious. I had no issues during this video. And I know a LOT of people have poorly set up audio because most audio devices come set up poorly.
I'd be down for seeing more of this, but maybe turn up the game play volume a little so we can better appreciate these tremendously emotional vocal performances.
"The fruit is starting to rot..."
THE BANANAS HAS GONE BAD!
I will say I sincerely love the enthusiasm of Brisco's voice actor
*"Story changes depending on your morality"*

Zero punctuation reference ahoy
David cage you've done it again!
I don't quite see how the story changes when you can't really do anything
Danny: "What a beautiful day outside it is."
Actually, if this game was a bit more gray, it would look just like Michigan.
I was hoping at 28:55 it would be:
"OH MY GOD ITS TUNGULUS!!!"
...cause it looked like a big tongue? No?
Nah bro. That was a straight up tentacle-ovipositor type of monster

Ah. From Hell, Michigan. Yes, we really have the city of Hell here. Yes, Hell freezes over in winter.
And sometimes summer, whenever it feels like it really.
To this day, sad they never finished this game. I honestly feel like if they did, it'd still be incredibly popular. People on this channel have already proven we love watching the Game Grumps riff on poorly executed games.
Right? It’s not like people weren’t interested in them playing more.

I'm really enjoying the longer episodes! Thanks, you guys!
Surely I’m not the only one who remembers this from the Dunkey video?
“Oh mY....GAAAAAHHHHD!”

First thing I thought of
Snake? Snake! Oh my godddd!!!
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING, I got SO excited when I saw this video pop up in my notifications!
I remember it all too well XD
Watching this whole series in x1.25 made me think that the developers accidentally slowed down all the dialogue.
22:30 To be fair, I think Brisco is _actually supposed_ to be drunk there. You see the large alcohol bottle sideways on top of the piano, on the right side...?
