ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK 🎃 More FMV Weirdness with Andy and Luke | Hallowstream 2022

[@MetaManGamingTM]

"Waxo Commando" sounds like something you get at a tanning shop

[@WastedPo]

But seriously, I appreciate there being unique and different "game over" scenes around the campfire depending on how you died. They could've just repeated the same one over and over again.

[@travisspaulding5835]

If there is anything that these FMV streams and the Mom Can’t Cook Podcast have taught me, it’s that Luke and Andy’s true calling is roasting various forms of media from the nineties and early oughts

[@LoganSheffield]

There's an alternate universe in which each of the OxBox team found their true calling. Andy would be a pirate, Mike would be a F1 championship winning driver, Luke would be an all time great musician, Ellen would be the Avatar, and Jane would be the Cthulhu-styled ruler of the universe.

[@Scribe13]

I love how the game punishes Luke and Andy for goofing around consistently…up until the very end! 😂

[@ApotheosisTK117]

You mean the game punishes Luke for goofing around while Andy repeatedly reads the instructions from a walkthrough 😂

[@Scribe13]

@@ApotheosisTK117 True!

[@katfromthekong414]

Luke: "Wow, imagine how that would've looked in motion" Me: welcome to the 90s experience

[@d2factotum]

Even for the 90s it was definitely a bit rich calling this an FMV game. Full Motion Video was always supposed to be full screen, even if it was only 15 fps or whatever, but most PCs of the time didn't have the horsepower to actually do that. It's why the Philips CD-i console needed a special video decoding module in order to handle proper FMV.

[@lisah-p8474]

15:55 "I think you know exactly where to interact with him..." This is exactly the sort of highbrow content that I came here for.

[@JackHammer503]

An Andy + Luke fmv playthrough AND a new episode of Mom Can't Cook! on the same day?! It truly is the spooky christmas season, friends

[@ethanlappin]

I've realised that Luke & Andy just seem to love mercilessly ripping on anything from the 90s 😂

[@fancylad1177]

Oh shit new mom can’t cook!

[@naturesleepscapes7220]

I know this is way after the fact (and apologies if this has already been shared), but apparently the "dust" that the kids would throw into the fire in Are You Afraid of the Dark was powdered coffee creamer. One of the guys that worked on the show shared this in an interview. :) Hope someone else finds this interesting as well!

[@typacsk]

Oh good lord. I remember when the Mythbusters crew did an episode with that stuff...

[@ghostderazgriz]

Some of my favourite videos on these channels are when Luke and Andy collab, second only to videos with everyone together.

We didn't just imagine it: games really _were_ harder when we were younger! We thought it must have just seemed that way because we were kids, but they were just merciless!!

[@silverwyhrecat5]

I'm replaying Shivers right now. Haven't played it since I was like ten. And here I am, with my walkthrough in hand, going "I can probably knock this out in a couple of hours." Five hours later...I've sealed TWO of the little suckers away is all and I'm ready to scream at some of these puzzles. I am reminded of how much I HATE the red door puzzle. I hated it before. I still hate it now. And I'm amazed that people managed to do that without a walkthrough because you HAVE to find the books to complete most of the puzzles.

[@AgeofLions92]

I would love to see you guys play the first Phantasmagoria. It's weirdness is off the charts and a classic FMV Game

[@molchmolchmolchmolch]

Isn't that the incredibly sexist one?

[@zerin25]

@@molchmolchmolchmolch yeah, pretty sexist. It's the only FMV I've played apart from Gabriel Knight 2

[@jessica-mariegervais9800]

They'd get demonetised or potentially worse by KZbin, because there's a somewhat graphic for the late 90s sex scene when you immediately start. And the heroine gets r***ed later on. It was the game that caused the ESRB to be created, because this game (at the time) was a deliberately created to be "M for Mature". Bizarrely, the game was written by a woman, which does not explain the deep-rooted mysogyny in it...

[@doornik1142]

​​@@molchmolchmolchmolch To be fair, the sequel isn't much better.

[@amaeve1950]

I love how Luke calls the kid "Poindexter" when he essentially looks the same.

[@pmonday]

I never thought anything would come close to being as good as Escape from Horrorland, but this was another masterpiece.

[@SuigetsuIsArt]

As a big fan of the AYAotD/Goosebumps/Choose Your Own Adventure era of children's content, I love this. The random, unfair deaths are such a CYOA thing. I'm sure it would be frustrating to play, but watching it was extremely entertaining lol. But does anyone else think that Orpheo kind of had it coming? He was really mean to poor Mary ... Also, watching Luke struggle with the navigation was incredible. I think I could navigate this place pretty well now if I played, at least.

[@nightmarethrenody8232]

Orpheo was absolutely a jerk. “Sorry, daughter, you’re just not good enough to be my assistant. Nothing personal, you just suck.”

[@dangerszewski9816]

I love how they use so many still shots with digital effects on them, it's the world's first partial motion video game.

[@Zedd8787]

No way. When I heard they were doing the other FMV game I was like, "Man I should go find a playthrough of that old Are You Afraid of the Dark game I played (and was super afraid of) when I was a kid." Of all the other FMV games to play on the Hallowstream, I'm super excited to watch this :D

Love the energy that Luke and Andy bring to this! If only there was a podcast with those two, that had this same vibe (FYI, that was my take on the plug for "Mom can't cook" podcast, just in case you've skipped the ending:]). My favourite quote: "How could you expect a child in the nineties to do this?! We had poor nutrition."

[@Therooks17]

I spent hours trying to figure out the rationale behind the Spectre puzzle. I watched every walkthrough I could find and scoured the internet for clues. I send it to one friend who likes puzzles and within 5 minutes he had it. Accessories. The Spectres all have accessories. That’s a week of my life I’ll never get back. Worth it 😂

This game came as a free CDRom with our Gateway desktop in 1996. I played it back then and found most of the navigation infuriating but decent puzzles for what it was (aka FREE). Since we didn't have cable, I didn't know anything about the TV show, but still liked this more than 7th Guest - though there isn't a Sex Bed in this game

[@Iversen83]

The monster heads reveal was perfect.

[@toratio8547]

It took me ages to figure it out, but the voice of the monster saying "wardrobe" is exactly the voice OX use for Batman and now I can't un-hear it.

[@VanilliaGinger]

This game brings back so many memories! The first computer game my siblings and I played as children. Was thinking about this game a lot over the last few years and how I wanted to play it again as an adult. Seeing someone else play it is great too.

[@Goatbeez]

Waxo commanda sounds like a G.I. Joe enemy

[@jennifermay6990]

You know, the costumer that got sawed in half is pretty chill about it.

[@KestrelDC]

As dumb and weird as this game may be, I do think it's cool and nice seeing siblings that aren't the same race or skin color and that, unless I'm missing something, it never actually explains it with one being adopted or them being step-siblings or half-siblings or whatever, they simply are siblings and just say "brother" and "sister" without drawing any attention to it or the specifics of how they're related. Legitimate GG, game!

[@elizabethguarnieri6606]

PROBABLY BEST GAME EVER

[@ianespeut4155]

I should have commented this when watching this in 2022, but I am here for the FMVs. For 2024, I suggest Contradiction, The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker, The Shapeshifting Detective, or Dark Nights with Poe and Munro. I don't think it's the point, but Dekker had me and a friend crying with laughter when playing it some years back.

Giving everything the absolute benefit of the doubt, looking at it in the strongest possible light? The bit with the wizard smiling and bowing at the performance of his trick while two children die/are sent to the Shadow Realm screaming in the background, that was pretty horrifying. It probably would have had a better impact if it hadn't been performed after another frustrating game over every time.

LMFAO that wax museum. I assumed maybe the caveman one was like how a lot natural history museums might have figures like that to give a good visual of what cavemen may have looked like (or just be neat). Then after seeing the wizard and finding it was Merlin in particular and then seeing Sherlock I thought maybe it was like a museum of figures of famous and classic story characters and maybe the caveman was also some particular caveman from some story.... and then there was Galileo and then Houdini. I guess it really is just a very random assortment......

@Cheerful Spider, I know this is a long shot, but I hope you see this somehow. You asked how many of the cast went on to have acting careers and I've got an answer for you: 3 (maybe 4, if you count a VA that had a major role in another show of the time). The actors portraying Kiki (the African-American girl), Sam (the girl with the long wavy hair), and Tucker (the youngest boy...and Gary's (the "nerd") little brother) all had fairly decent careers afterwards; the VA I mentioned above, Blaze Berdahl (the voice of Terry) was Lenny on Ghostwriter (PBS show about a "spirit" that makes contact with a group of teens through words...kinda like Danny the Street from Doom Patrol, except not, lol). That said, the show had a cast that had a far-reaching impact on most every one of us here. The actress playing Kiki was Francine on Arthur, Tucker was Carlos on The Magic School Bus, Kristen was Cher on Clueless (the TV series)/Nancy on Peep Show/Mercedes in Snakes on a Plane, Elisha Cuthbert and Vanessa Lengies (Sugar in Glee) popped up in the first revival, and a whole host of actors filtered through as guests (including Laura Bertram (Trance from Andromeda), Eugene Byrd (Dr. Clark Edison from Bones), Bobcat Goldthwait, Melissa Joan Hart, Arthur Holden (Mr. Ratburn from Arthur), Frank Gorshin, Danny Cooksey (Salute Your Shorts, Tiny Toon Adventures, Terminator 2), Eddie Kaye Thomas, Neve Campbell, Stuart Stone (Ralphie from The Magic School Bus), Tyler Labine, Jay Baruchel, Ryan Gosling, Gilbert Gottfried, Tia and Tamera Mowery, Hayden Christensen, Tara Lipinski (yeah, the figure skater), and Aaron Ashmore, among others)...
