Nancy Drew: The Shattered Medallion

[@eunji_teahouse4891]

My kitten passed away from FIP yesterday evening, so I've been spending the entire day rewatching Gabs old Nancy drew playthroughs to keep me occupied with something I enjoy. This came at just the right time, thank you

[@ItsAlannaBanana]

I’m so sorry to hear about your kitten 😢❤

[@VorpalSnickerSnack]

My condolences. Hopefully the kitten can be found and brought to a shelter.

[@eunji_teahouse4891]

@@VorpalSnickerSnack I'm sorry it's a language mistake on my part, my kitten has passed away from FIP and an infection. We say "lost" in my country, I didn't think about how it would translate to English. But thank you for your condolences

I'm so very sorry for your loss. Sending you peace ❤

All the conversations with Patrick and Bess are wild! This might be the funniest Nancy yet

[@handikandilove9889]

Agreed I was rolling when Bess said I’m gonna die here.

[@liawatson5789]

Yes lol they're so funny ❤

[@oatmilkmustache]

Such a strange one, there was like zero dialogue just right into puzzles for twenty minutes and then the most chaotic Nancy conversations ever 😂 I didn’t even realize George was with you until she fell on the bridge 💀

[@starophie]

gab trying to decipher what the rugby guy is talking about is so fun to watch 😭

[@angreed7429]

Me as a kiwi freaking out cause Gab is playing a Nancy game based in my home country Post watch edit: The fact Philip cant swim at all is hilarious considering as an island country with constant nearby beaches/lakes/rivers, most of us are taught water safety and/or swimming from a young age. Also Gabs pronunciation of some of the Maori words was really good considering she hadn't heard them said prior. If you and Sean were to ever visit, I definitely recommend Waitomo caves if you come to the north island at all (it's where hobbiton is anyway). I haven't been in years but they do guided boat tours through the caves which are fully populated with glow worms and it's just so magical.

[@Raveler1]

It's been nigh on 30 years since I visited Waitomo Caves, and the experience of seeing the glow worms while slowly floating on the river below is still with me! I'm hoping to be able to share the experience with my spouse, if we are able to make it to NZ on sabbatical.

[@liawatson5789]

Aw the glow worms sound so beautiful ❤

[@Jbarrow0388]

I visited New Zealand 6 years ago and it was amazing! Went to Queenstown, hiked to Milford Sound and then went to North Island and saw the Waitomo caves. It was fun seeing places I’ve been to like Te Anau. I can’t wait to go back again one day!

[@therandomshow_]

I love New Zealand 🇳🇿 ❤ never been, but know some ppl who go every year to visit family. Every picture is simply beautiful and they have had nothing but good experiences. Love from Michigan

[@firefly-pd9ho]

"These kids must be so rich to travel the world like that" - exactly what I've been thinking all this time 😭😭

[@liawatson5789]

Yes lol

[@noorashiraz9046]

I believe in the books, they are. I read them a long time ago, but I'm pretty sure, Bess , Nancy and George all lived in mansions with their parents.

[@Lisa_Flowers]

Not Nancy being super condescending about people being on reality tv when SHE'S on reality tv. 'But you're sma-smart???' So are you Nancy, yet here are you lol!

[@danibanez]

With only 2 Nancy games missing, it's sad for me to see the series come to an end. I first started watching you because of this series back in 2020, and have been playing your Nancy videos in the background while working on college assignments since the beginning. This is my last semester, so to me it does seem quite fitting to have the series end at the same time as the classes i've always used them for. Thank you always!

[@primrose97]

This is probably one of my least favorite Nancy games I’ve played personally but Gab made it so much fun to watch 😆 I’ve never really realized how funny the in game dialogue is haha

[@sarahbilliar437]

I’m always watching the old ones in between. These games were my childhood. The best comfort. It’s lunch time too. Blessed. Thank you Gab

[@octobermourn]

I love that Nancy and Sonny are just standing around a talking while the other guy was drowning

[@silencedsymphony815]

"And now! Bess Marvin! What do you have to say for yourself?" Bess - "I'm going to die here." Aaaaaand I just woke up all my kids lol 😂😂😂

[@KatieBeeTV]

Making a "quake shack" which is just a room that jiggles you around is soooo funny to me.

[@GabSmolders]

I read that as quack shack loool

[@emmylou2215]

​@GabSmolders I legit read that as quack shack too several times and was so confused!

[@kracker01]

I read the comment as quack shake lol

[@Gh0stly_fell0w]

It's always a good day when Gab uploads a Nancy Drew video

[@LunaLightbringer]

I feel exactly the same way, it instantly picks me up after a long boring day! 😁

[@liawatson5789]

Yes!

[@LainerButtz]

Also, I think Bess might be MY spirit animal. To use her own words.

[@emmylillie2248]

the sound of the pages flipping in nancy drew games is my whole aesthetic

[@mashamashaification]

omg yess

[@meghitchcock8258]

It's bittersweet that there's only two more games after this one that the original Herinteractive crew did before the change over in the company. If Gab is ever able to somehow find a working copy of Stay Tuned for Danger, I would love to see her play it.

[@NiasiNoir]

Conversing with Rugby dude is like having a chat with the early AI bots back in the day 🤣

[@dearamy__]

28:57 *And that is how she died* PLEASE 😭

[@brittney5509]

Gab. I must tell you how much I love that you read EVERYthing. Literally the best! So annoying when you watch play though and they skip all the information in books and such. ❤❤❤

[@MissManicMuffin]

By far the funniest Nancy Drew I have ever seen. This was a wild ride from start to finish.

[@nocturnalizzie]

The plot of this game is a bit of a mess, but I'm glad you had so much fun with it! Here are my tidbits: - Replaying this recently, I couldn't unhear Patrick as Bennett Foddy. I know Bennett is Australian but Patrick's cadence and voice still reminded me of Getting Over It. Pot Guy would definitely sink like a gorilla, too. - The credits say the announcer was Carol King, not Lani. But I definitely thought that was Lani's voice, too! Weird. I also learned that George and Jamila are the same voice! - Her Interactive is apparently a sponsor of Pacific Run. At least that's what I assume based on their logo being all over the weird photo op wall in the puzzle palace. - The confessional clips for some of the unseen teams were voiced by Her Interactive employees, I think. - Monster (the cow game) was the game that Lukas the prankster kid liked to play with you in Captive Curse. And of course Raid was Karl's torture device- I mean... game. - The quake shack can have some kind of malfunction and you need to hide under the table, which one really should do during a simulated earthquake anyway. ;) (I say as someone who lives in California and hardly ever bothers to get under something during quakes...) - Sonny's trunk has a jade carving from Scarlet Hand, a sticker from Minette, a poster from Venice, and a Dread Isle (Ransom of the Seven Ships) sign. - In the comic when Jin is describing the Avengers team he wants to assemble, the silhouette of Nancy is similar to the old one they put on the boxes of the early games! Cute. - If you find any of the Easter eggs in this game, you can use them on the scoreboard to get your team some more points. Onward to Greece! Can't say I really loved the plot of that one either, but at least Grigor is cute. Hehe.

[@lilgirlwonder1057]

The game having Nancy sheer a sheep is wild considering the training you go thru for that. I know its just a game, but as someone who works with livestock I just started laughing.

[@Lusifer__]

this game was so silly and fun lmaooo it’s giving chaotic good vibes

[@Nimyra11]

This game was absolutely hilarious 😂 I didn’t realize Bess was so funny but her dialogue was soooo good in this one haha I can’t believe we’ve almost made it through all the Nancy games now!! Definitely would love to see a replay of Shadow at the Water’s Edge sometime 👀👻

[@butterbun7033]

2:32:50 what really gets me is when you ask "you've seen aliens???" He says "just a little" like...there's a quantitative limit to the amount of aliens you have seen to count as "a lot?" And if that's the case how many alien sightings HAS he had??

[@loliplayguitar8601]

I’ve been binging your Nancy videos and I’m pretty sure the “HHHMMM” is my inner voice now

[@JanJanheartu]

Oh heck yeah more Nancy Drew! This video came out at the perfect time since I’m at home not feeling the best. Now I get to cozy up and watch ☕️

[@Quinnnnnnnnnnnnnn]

No one is talking about 45:15 when Nancy shouts “BESS!” 😭😭😭

[@ghostbird92]

That caught me off guard. It was very unlike Nancy lol

[@Lisa_Flowers]

I'm having such a horrible day that the universe needed to manifest a new Nancy Drew video just to make me feel better. They said 'we have to pull out the BIG guns'. Or at least that's how I choose to interpret this 😂

[@alexroach1693]

As a New Zealander living away from home right now, you have no idea how excited I’ve been knowing you’ll be playing this game based in nz! 🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿 Can’t wait to watch it all in one sitting and listen to the terrible accents 💖

as another fellow kiwi, i didnt think the accents were that terrible XD 🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿

[@alexb5548]

@@olivehebberd7472 yea i think she did really well. Maori is all phonetics so her Dutch and German make it much easier. Except O-ta-goh-meen-es (Otago mines) lol

[@alexroach1693]

I’d just started the video when I posted this. I was expecting the voice acting accents to be a little off like some of the other games but it makes sense they’re fine when Patrick is played by a kiwi 😂 Gabs pronunciation has been really good! Also makes sense with all the languages she can speak

[@rosalinemcglochlin2474]

For any one who’d like to know how to pronounce Māori words, vowels (aeiou) are pronounced ah, eh, ee, oh, oo. And wh makes a f sound like ph in phone. And anywhere you see ng together, you say it like goiNG, put your tongue on the roof of your mouth. Also roll your r’s

[@OfficialZackary]

Having played ever single game as it came out over my lifetime I have to say it really brings me joy to sit and watch you play these games for the first time!

[@dothedo3667]

Wait hold up, my worlds are coming together (and I'm pretty sure they're the same as yours). The end credits say the designer is Cathy Roiter. Jeanne and Cathy Roiter won the USA Jigsaw National competition in the pairs division and have done well in other ones as well. Wowee!

[@Lisa_Flowers]

Doesn't necessarily mean it's the same person? I guess it depends on how common of a name Cathy Roiter is.

[@lazyperfectionist3978]

@@Lisa_Flowers I actually tried looking into this, they're _very likely_ the same person. The jigsaw team the roiter sisters are part of are known as Ersatz Quidnuncs, which is a book in the Nancy Drew series (haunting of castle malloy), there is a Jeanne and Cathy Roiter who are credited as having worked on a dozen of the Nancy Drew games, and listed on both the Jigsaw federation website and Cathy's LinkedIn is her living in Duvall, Washington

[@Loutube3]

I just finished watching the VOD for this! Loved it! Just wanted to say that your pronunciation was so good for the Maori words. The vowels do sound the same as Japanese so you were spot on! For future reference though, 'Wh' is pronounced as an 'F'. And all the R's are rolled 😊❤ Thanks for another Nancy video!

[@Omen-gv4hb]

25:56 they pretty much just put in a replica of one of the Te Papa exhibits that explains natural disasters as well as some ‘games’ where you can add this to a house to make it ‘earthquake proof’. Also the quake shack is a thing on that exhibit though I can’t remember what it’s actually called. I remember going in as a kid and being scared but now it’s just a very cool piece of machinery and engineering to me

[@Bettyc3546]

ive been having a tough time lately and one of the things that gets me out of my head is getting cozy and watching these nancy drew playthroughs. Great work Gabs

[@Cometstarlight]

Sonny: "He told me we were special." Gab: "You guys are having a moment whilst Patrick is *drowning.* " Nancy: "What do you think of those stories now?" Gab: "He's. Drowning." I didn't like Shattered Medallion upon playing it when it first came out, but I have laughed *so hard* while watching this. I think now that I'm older, I can appreciate the chaos a bit more, even if it still isn't my favorite. Thanks for the perspective, Gab!

[@janeysmith2554]

Ooh I'm excited for this. I'm from New Zealand and I'm a HUGE bird nerd, and I didn't realise this was an NZ-based Nancy Drew until I clicked 🤩 The team bird names in Māori are really cool, a few mistakes (Kōkako instead of Kokoka) and left out the macrons (which can change whole meanings to words) but most stuff is super accurate, Nancy Drew games are really good like that! Side note, I recommend looking up Kōkako singing on YT sometime, they are known by most for their haunting song 😊 Anyway bird stuff aside 😅 I love your videos Gab! Your channel is my favorite on KZbin. Appreciate you!

[@mariejardel6412]

I think this is my new favorite Nancy game. I started laugh crying when Bess showed up, and then you started talking to Patrick and I really lost it.

"Is this guy just really dumb?" Yeah they said he was a Rugby player

It would be really fun if Sean joined in on a Nancy game again! I've been binge watching the other three videos with them and I just love to watch them have fun together!😂 I never knew these games existed when I was a child (probably because Nancy is not big in my country sadly) and I believe one of my first ever Gab videos was the Nancy Salem one, so this serie has been really special to me❤so sad there's only two left😿

[@baka_yu9343]

I think Gab said (might have been during a livestream before gameplay started) that for first time playing, she won't bring him back in because they tend to distract each other from the story and it made it hard for a considerable amount of viewers to follow along then. (To be fair, since I sometimes have them on in the background while doing things, I can understand that, since they talked over the dialogue a lot.) She might, however, bring him back in for replays when it's not important anymore for the viewers (and her) to follow that closely. :)

[@mimmipigg99]

@@baka_yu9343 Yeah I completely understand that, makes sense. We'll see how it goes in the future :) (also, I usually have them on as background noice when I try and go to sleep, so cozy! :3)
