FMV Quest Reloaded: At Dead of Night

Travis and Justin explore a haunted hotel, desperate for a compass. They make some new friends and have a few laughs. Also, they get SPOOOOOOKED! For more video game streams, be sure to follow Travis on Twitch at twitch.tv/thetravismcelroy

[@Boozlenoodle]

Justin PLEASE do the FMV game "Goosebumps: Escape from Horrorland." Jeff Goldblum plays Dracula and it is.... A thing that happened

[@deecee3490]

Check out triplejump they have a video on it and one of the hosts is a mbmbamino. They reference candlenights in a holiday video

[@literalruleslawyer]

WHAT

[@literalruleslawyer]

WHERE IS THIS GAME AVAILABLE FOR ME TO PLAY FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN JEFF GOLDBLUM DRACUKA

[@mitkitty]

Also check out Voidburger and Chipcheezum! I think its on VB's charity stream they did Horrorland but it may be part of Gextra Life

[@magic_cat]

I would pay money to watch him play that

[@Nerdgirl00]

travis' whispering "you're great" resets my brain every time it happens

[@KaijaSchmauss]

Stellalasaurus mod here. The fact that you two raiding her stream is now immortalized on youtube forever makes both her and us mods very very happy. You helped her gain so many followers.

[@thanatoast]

It's incredible that you can put any combination of the mcelroy boys together and it will be an equally amazing but very distinct dynamic.

[@nerdynoah]

Where can I find Travis/Griffin combos? Nothing against Hoops, but I need that pairing.

[@DeathnoteBB]

@@nerdynoah I’ve never seen a rare Griffin/Travis combo :0 Only all three, or Justin and Griffin

[@hisownsidekick]

@@nerdynoah I don't know how helpful this is, but there are some Face 2 Face eps of MBMBAM where Griffin and Travis do the intros and Money Zones without Justin because he was out of town. Also, there were a few eps of Awful Squad where Justin wasn't available but Travis was, so you get the Griffin/Travis dynamic there (along with a few other people, admittedly). Wee Gang, PUBG D&D, and Beware the Words That Kill are the specific ones I can come up with off the top of my head. Edit: if you dig around this playlist, you may find more. I found at least one video near the top where Griffin and Travis talk about TAZ music. kzbin.info/aero/PLiRDlFYNSeOZMFJrcT1Q3ufJtRpGOgnLv

All spooks because I certainly needed a list: 35:44 girl in basement 53:03 take a da purse 1:02:24 jimmy plays whack-a-mole with (Hannah??) Maya's head And that's all, folks 😊 (Amy sounds so northern as well lol)

Love it when folks do this. Thank you!

[@aspenlawrence835]

You're incredible, thank you! Also it is incredibly funny to hear northern accents in games, never gets old lol

[@Flavershum]

This perfectly encapsulates what it's like to play a Nancy Drew game with someone

[@senseisleepyhead]

Dang, I am IMPRESSED with those real-time captions. Super wish more streamers would use them, but this VOD is fantastic!

[@benh2339]

The "you're great" is the worst imaginable alert sound.

As someone who has a severe aversion to whispering, this is my nightmare

[@D33r_Hunt3r_]

Yup couldn’t finish the video. It’s like nails on a chalkboard.

[@Mpkw-er9bi]

I mean, this game was explicitly made with Justin Mcelroy in mind, but i didnt know how much I needed to see Justin walking his brother through FMV

[@jackal2654]

okay but i am perpetually thankful for justin talking about fmv games on polygon in the first place bc i dont think i ever wouldve noticed they existed otherwise and they really are a really cool medium for video games

[@maxrona137]

Justin yelling at Travis to call Jimmy for the entertainment makes me want them to bring back Law Abiding Citizen as well.

[@defn0tjake]

[@c.douglass1575]

Justin, the fact that you mentioned how this isn't a depiction of DID and resources to provide understanding show what an incredible and wonderful person you are 🔥🔥🔥🖖

[@drlorenz]

THIS 💯

[@bondfool]

I mean, he mentioned it, but the game started the ball rolling by including all that. They deserve credit.

[@drlorenz]

@@bondfool I mean sure, but this is a McElroy video. Seems more likely that Justin will read this than the game devs. Either way, I'm very happy Justin brought it up. 👍

[@thegaspatthegateway]

so happy that he pointed that out!

[@fizzify3000]

When Justin started to explain the scry mirror, I had flashbacks to Markiplier using it in every room and chat freaking out about how he never realized using it alerts Jimmy to your location

[@cigarete-smoke]

I have been listening to a ridiculous amount of clips lately, and recently I found one from episode 126 where they talk about the worst place to see a ghost. Travis legit says: in front of an elevator on the bottom floor. The irony at 35:44

[@mimi-qt]

THANK GOD THIS INCREDIBLE SERIES IS BACK

[@sarahwilliams8438]

The FMV Quest will never die. It is eternal, like the ancient things lurking in the depths of the sea. It may vanish from human perception once in a while, but it is always-present, watching, waiting for the right time to return to us.

[@jeniferdavis1858]

As someone with DID, thank you so much for making sure that people knew the game was playing into a stereotype and had resources and a disclaimer about Dissociative Identity Disorder since you didn't do the tutorial! We have rlly bad stigma attached to us, and it's just really heartwarming you made sure the viewers knew that

[@ljlaffend]

triple upvoting this comment... we need more acknowledgements like this to fight the stigma! I've seen a few streamers play this and this was the first one that even mentioned that

[@UnionizedCrackerbarrel]

The hotel keeper pitching his stand up comedy show sounds like a MBMBAM advice call.

[@fjr4205]

At last the return of the only series that matters please give us more Justin

[@marty4475]

holy shit i've never seen travis so clean-shaven and was like ... the top half of travis head... bottom half a stranger head???? what is going ON... combined with no audio i was just. so shaken. boys.

[@Nono-hk3is]

I'm so happy that we got to hear Justin indulging himself (and us!) by letting loose with his FMV historical knowledge.

[@momobley3870]

i thought i recognized jimmy.... the actor plays simon from contradiction! ask jimmy about his home brews!!!!! or his bike

[@Merudinnn]

I was watching someone else play this and thought "this is justin's job why isn't HE playing this?!" Glad to see I was not to be disappointed. Good work boys. Keep it up!

[@DeathnoteBB]

That’s how I feel whenever I see someone other than Griffin Mcelroy put an Amiibo in their mouth 😔

[@eliat6282]

I'm not sure why I can constantly hear travis whispering "you're great" but i hate it

[@afineyounggalahad]

Absolute nightmare scenario

[@zombiesxaliens]

It's the audio notification when someone subscribes or follows his channel

[@KCatch22]

First few minutes I thought he was just constantly reassuring his brother, lol.

[@TrashBaker]

yeah it is MISERABLE

[@TheyCallMeTheBdawg]

literally stopped watching because of it

[@Starlysh]

The whispers aren't great, but they're turned off after 7 minutes. I had a Playstation The X-Files game back in the day that was FMV. I didn't know there was a name for that type of game.

[@threemo6941]

Thank you, I was about to quit lol

[@drew2510]

The channel Pushing Up Roses has a really funny video about that game!

[@ava_maria]

FMV quest, the best series of all time, is finally back. Bless you, Justin.

[@eigenmishiin3d47]

Someone should make a supercut of all of justin's "listening for ghosts" faces.

[@rivtinker]

Thanks for always vibin’ and keeping in tight 👋👋

[@theodorec1882]

I AM SO HAPPY THIS VIDEO EXISTS. Literally the moment I found out a new FMV game was getting popular i was like "god I hope Justin knows about this"

[@popnpeaceprincess]

Love that their impression of a British child is just the lady from Monty python

[@emlapin]

I'd love to see more FMV content! Especially the older stuff but this new stuff is cool too♡♡ Omg watching Justin play the old Gabriel Knight fmv would make my year...

[@ashleighcalvert8937]

So unbelievably happy the quest continues

[@MrMusicforthemass]

[@stellalasaurus]

I'm so glad you guys are posting these here!! And also I'm endlessly thankful for the raid you sent my way!!

[@jonathanmitchell5593]

So glad FMV Quest is back. Though it sounds like Justin did not have the right microphone selected.

[@cmbluey98]

Travis has the absolute DRIP in this. The shirt, the glasses, the blue wash in the back. Get. It.

[@guppy8073]

:O the live subs are so cool ive never seen that before on a stream and it really helps with accessibility

[@ShyDragoness]

I thought you meant subscriptions and was confused as hell until I realised you were meaning live subtitles 😅

[@jennas3212]

A lotta the time I can't watch with the sound on, so this is so awesome. As with many accessibility options, it ends up helping more than the target audience.

[@alexanderjones5109]

yes they uploaded it!! when justin mentioned they did this i was sad that i missed it. but now i can watch it!! i missed justin's fmv series

[@johndowell5572]

[@TheInvalidInput]

oh glad people have reassured that the whispering of the subscriber alert ends 7 mins in! whispering is personally a really bad sound but, otoh, ive not seen live subtitling like that before being generated on the fly, and p good at that, so that's really cool! so, pros and cons

woah that first scare got me good

[@laurafrakinroslin]

Why is Justin’s audio setup so bad, he has 30 podcasts

[@mbays3245]

He fixes it pretty early in the video. I think like 15 mins in he switches to his nice mic.

[@N0kel]

Spoilers: He doesn't fix it. He sounds like shit for the entire video

[@LegallyBoopy]

I started listening to this while still working so I wasn't constantly looking at the stream, and I genuinely thought that Travis was just whispering "You're great" into the mic over and over with the captions translating his Travese and this was all a bit until he said he "fixed" it.

[@faeghoul]

IM SO EXCITED

[@kirstenerikapaulson2574]

Their chat at the beginning about FMV games just makes me think, like....I don't think I ever played anything that was specifically marketed as a game, but I definitely remember there were some small FMV games in the bonus features on a lot of DVDs in the early 2000s when DVDs were first getting popular. I think the DVD for Chamber of Secrets had one.

[@ughh3968]

its 4 am - i was already feeling iffy after the girl jumpscare but the jimmy sign at 40:30 was enough for me to put this video off until the sun comes up. i'll be back 👍

"Yeah yeah it's mainly just clicking"

[@cherylhutchins1030]

I would pay cash money for you to play American Girls Premiere (my soft intro to FMV)

[@thebadpoet]

That’s the only game I ever really got into as a kid! Our computer was really old so we had to use the computer generated voices and some things were pretty messed up. But I have SUCH powerful and joyful memories of making Kirsten’s dad gesture, then basically stop motion animating a spoon from his hand across the room, which hit Lars in the head, who fell down. Having falling animations available was the best and worst decision Pleasant Company ever made!

[@cherylhutchins1030]
