House of Ashes 🎃 CO-OP HORROR MARITAL PROBLEMS from The Dark Pictures Anthology | Hallowstream IV

[@Sophie-mq1eo]

Can this Mike & Andy marriage counseling simulator become a regular thing? I'd love to see them finish the game in co-op!

[@shasshybear9222]

Yes! We NEED this!

[@AlphaX02]

@@shasshybear9222 Absolutely. Really need to see more of this.

[@ARTURIEL]

They seemed to enjoy it, as well. I hope they do a full playthrough of this! 🥺✨

[@RecyllandHyde]

And once this game is finished do we need to find more marriage counselling simulator games?

[@clockworktri]

YES YES YES

[@fw2231]

I joined the stream about 27 minutes in, and so missed ALL the initial horror elements and instead experienced "Mike and Andy are watching entirely different cut scenes set in 2003 and take a while to notice", "Mike and Andy get to play both halves of a broken marriage", "Mike becomes increasingly unsettled by the racism, misogyny and opportunities for war crimes the game keeps displaying", "Mike and Andy play both halves of a broken marriage AGAIN", punctuated by occasional violence. Which was confusing but also hilarious, I recommend it.

[@zceepy]

Please play more! Ideally as a Let's play so we can see both sides. Mike and Andy getting so in character was just hilarious

[@Alovatololo]

That's the dream.

[@bustinarant]

Man, Andy's side sounded so much cooler lol

[@Tyr_Magnus]

Aoife playing solo on EG: "I'm gonna keep everybody nice and friendly and be sure relationships are good for when we need them later." Andy and Mike playing co-op: "Fight fight fight!" 😂

[@mar_speedman]

Aoife: Okay, if I play my cards right, everyone will survive Andy and Mike: If we play our cards right, we can kill that one particular character early because we hate him! I gotta say Oxbox's playthrough is much more interesting though XD

[@bobbie9066]

"Why would I make up a takening?!" - you are a treasure, Andy, and we do not deserve you 😁

[@tenchfroast]

I need you two to finish this. Your spicy sass and excitement actually made the game enjoyable lol

[@rbnlenin]

1:35

[@eleanorsmith7152]

1:25:53 The Pazuzu decided it didn’t want to get involved in that whole situation and left to menace the others.

[@lelescarlet7184]

I actually came across this comment like 30 seconds before the time stamp, and that made watching it even funnier. 🤣

[@vira-siegkaiserreinhafro1670]

Hoping for a Mike and Andy marriage simulator series in the channel. That was so fun that even demons respect their intimacy 😂

[@starminoui]

Really hope Mike and Andy continue this co-op. I need more chaotic marriage counseling in my life.

[@deadzepplin9801]

i’m convinced andy gains extra power during hallowstream

[@recino2]

Starts at 1:35

[@boko06]

Thx

[@dee...]

Thanks

[@JachAnen]

Thanks my dude

[@plazmatraz]

Thank You!!

[@ventedbus4917]

Thanks

[@ethanrobyn2399]

We need more Andy and Mike Marital Mishaps and if they complete this game there is also Man of Medan and Little Hope for them to play.

[@mar_speedman]

But are there any marital mishaps there? :P

[@ethanrobyn2399]

@@mar_speedman I don't think there are any marital mishaps but there are some couples conundrums and dating disasters in Man of Medan and Little Hope.

[@mar_speedman]

@@ethanrobyn2399 Eh... Good enough. XD Frankly though, I'm still hoping they can all get to play the whole trilogy together as a channel. Not sure if the game has 5 way multiplayer, but it feels like it would be possible. But hey, if little else, at least Mike and Andy could get to play the entire trilogy

[@NotKyleChicago]

They've played Man of Medan in the past though I don't remember when exactly.

[@mar_speedman]

@@NotKyleChicago They've played them all, but only in single player until that one

[@Jade-St28]

I absolutely loved the parts where Andy and Mike were just antagonizing each other as they played the married couple, truly capturing the real horror of all romance tropes

[@BefuddledMackem]

I have laughed every time I’ve thought about this stream. The funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time. Andy’s sarcastic, “I wuv you!” right as Mike made his character express fond emotion really got me 😂

[@KizMyname]

I knew that it would be enjoyable because I love all their videos but the Mike and Andy marriage counseling simulator took it to a new level. Love their dynamics. Now I just need Jane in the background being the audience reaction and just laughing at both of them.

[@nobledonkey17]

Andy "pull side arm" during the marriage dispute made me choke on my tea

[@chileanzombie42]

Omg what a fantastic stream.I didn't realise I needed a marriage break down between Mike and Andy but now can't imagine life without it.

[@joshuafranco1570]

Mike's romantic insistence and Andy's despondency made this soo amazing. 😂 God I hope you continue this playthrough! 😂😂😂

[@zhaley1980]

Now I REALLY want to see Andy's playthrough. Sounds like he had a scarier time.

[@little-earth-star6]

I came in late this stream, but luckily, not late enough to miss the technical difficulties caused by Andy's decisions of chaos

[@Safiyahalishah]

At around 1:17:59, I could not stop laughing at the sounds of Salim's distant screams coming from Andy's headset lmfao.

[@joshmorales770]

Andy and Mike having a couples argument is the Halloween stream I didn't know I needed.

[@tiger111189]

It was Andy who killed Merwin not Mike. Andy suffocated him and ignored Mike's Character Jason saying at 1:14:40 that he (Andy's Character Nick) should ease off and that Nick was killing him. Wanted to point out that Merwin could have lived if Andy had listened and not button mashed the last prompt. Andy is the Lord of Chaos and Death in this video. :P

[@kaniamia]

If only Mike and Andy had the roles reversed-with Mike purposely trying to fail and Andy furiously following the prompts-Merwin could have lived to die far more horrifically.

[@tiger111189]

@@kaniamia Haha, maybe. But I believe he only dies horrifically later if you fail QTEs. He has three different deaths that I know of.

[@CinnaScone]

Yep, came here to say this. Well done Andy, you suffocated Merwin the would-be war criminal. (White phosphorus? Really, Merwin?)

[@CodaBlairLucarioEmperor]

Aoife actually debated on whether to just kill him by suffocating him or keep him alive when she played

[@X1297ashX]

I'm losing my mind at Mike ignoring the prompt to open the door while poor Andy keeps trying, this is already an amazing stream.

[@catoninetales]

brb, writing fanfiction where Andy and Mike heal their marriage through fighting sexism, racism, and ancient evils.

[@shankalankadank]

This stream was soooo hilarious, I really do hope Mike and Andy continue this game. We need more marriage dramaaaa!

[@Arcadio89]

Thanks to this stream I know the term "pidgeotto hairdo" 😂

[@kaniamia]

Absolutely love the chaos co-op! Please keep these up and do the whole game!

[@kaniamia]

Having seen this game in solo, I find it so neat how they’ve made multiplayer work. I expected just a “pass the controller” style, but this is so much cooler!

[@its_KettLs]

Mike "reaching for the Morphine" KILLED me. Also Andy as the angry wife is life.

[@gwdphoto1]

I lost it at, "Aw man, I lost my ak. It wasn't a good day."

[@Just_Uh_Guy]

16:00 been subscribed for a long time and never realized Mike was this devious! haha

[@blakearmentrout7717]

My condolences to Andy and Mikes marriage ending lol I would love to see more of the lovely couple work out their problems while escaping demonic hell beasts in future lets plays of this :D

[@billthebodyguy]

Mike actually being scared for once and this bickering Sim are my highlights of Hallowstream

[@stormy7745]

I never thought I'd see the day where Andy would be the more chaotic one between him and Mike 😂 Had great fun watching you play - hoping you guys will finish it (^^)

[@mafddawg]

Mike: Gets visibly excited by big gun, sees inspect prompt, promptly ignores it.

[@jyjy111]

I see it’s been asked so much already but can you continue this stream to the end? This is so funny watching Mike profess his love and Andy tell him to suck an egg 😂

[@Marthe06]

Watching this live was hilarious. Really wanted to continue watching marriage counseling 2021... I mean House of Ashes.

[@AngelBeatYunara]

Would love to see more of this chaos, ahaha.

[@isabellareid9609]

Pleaseeee we need more of this. Marriage simulator is the best!

[@Icam_here]

greats stream, loved the choices that they both made, would love to see more

[@looler12123]

I *really* want to see more of this. The marriage disputes were hilarious and Mike getting annoyed by that asshole guy and not pressing the QTEs to save him were amazing as well.

[@PunkRockMohawk]

Anyone else notice how Rachel looks co pletely cross-eyed?

[@DanteSA210]

“Ashley Tisdale? I’ve heard of her” 😂

[@NathanWeeks]

Hurrah, Divorce Simulator 2021! I can't wait to play it with someone I love but deeply resent.

[@RainWelsh]

You know what, I’d never considered it before, but yeah. Being a person who knows many spooky stories and telling them at anyone who wanders into my spooky mansion is definitely my perfect job. Also, love the shout-out to Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction. My sister and I occasionally love to kick back and watch hours of the most batshit insane stories, punctuated by brief bursts of smug puns from Jonathan Frakes. I love it

[@harveyshaw7520]

I like how they were determined to find duct tape to seal the fuel pipe, nothing else would suffice

[@kevin_f]

Andy, if you start narrating scary stories in a dimly lit library, I’m sure many people will watch.

[@nightmarethrenody8232]

Hey, it works for Luke.

[@AlyKatIvy]

1:18:00 lmao I love Andy 😂😂😂

[@lacrossev]

Having lost the AK, he didn't have to use it cuz that was never an option...so technically still a good day?

[@rileytimes]

These two (jokingly) sniping at each other was so good

[@ayhrielvisante1386]

This is still such a delight to watch. And I just got the “press X to ‘Jason’” reference lol.

[@danielarosindo]

What I find absolutely hilarious is that at the end the pazuzu spent at the very least 10 minutes watching the marital problems without attacking 😂😂😂

[@SG_Dave]

Just watched this on VOD and am extremely disappointed regarding the lack of "All in this together" comments about the marriage troubles. Would absolutely love to see Andy and Mike continue their journey of accepting each other and Andy's secret lover, presuming pazuzu's don't get them.

[@tarisyth6097]

Please play this again in the near future! It was so good that I keep thinking I need to watch the rest of this playthrough, but it doesn't exist yet!

[@burningapeable]

This was such a great livestream! Sad I wasn't there live

[@Exalgoria]

Some more of this would be amazing! Super funny and interesting :)

[@Ben-iq3ou]

Why are mommy Andy and daddy Mike fighting?

[@masondeross]

bugs aside, I really like the way these devs designed their co-op gameplay concepts

[@parthdave2501]

38:10 Eric -" Let me finish" Mike chuckling away "I'm not going to say what sprung to my mind there" Oh we know Mike... We know 🤣🙈 So naughty! 😅

[@etherialaardvark9780]

I can't believe Andy hates love this hard? Who hurt you Andy??

[@GriffinWolf]

Really hope you do continue this! Having watched Aoife play through the whole thing, it's amazing seeing how different it is in Co-op, and the effects of different decisions you two make. Don't worry about the game length, you two are definitely not making it all the way through alive 😆

[@darkrose9793]

I thoroughly enjoyed this and would love if y’all played more of this after Hallowstream. Andy and Mike are amazing as usual.

[@_b1ack0ut4]

Yes, that dialogue was unique to co op mode, RE: the curator's monologue at the beginning. I did not get the portion about parties ending as they started, for example. Presumably it's the same as how Little Hope changed the intro if you had Man of Medan save data on the same machine

[@gabystrand8936]

Please give us more Andy and Mike quarrelling marriage simulator 😂

[@theomnitorium7476]

This was absolutely brilliant! Please finish it with more chaos :D

[@the8wave]

It’s to bad we didn’t get an Andy cam as well. He apparently saw all the cool things.

[@bluebelle8823]

I saw Aoife's playthrough first so knew about Jason's whole deal (look you can educate him it take patience). I came here for the chaotic marriage counciling session.

[@jessicalee333]

So, an American soldier has never heard that "semper fi" is a thing marines say, and one of the marines saluted a superior officer with a palm-facing-out British salute, and nobody said anything about it? What country was this game made in? And do they have movies there?

[@Amaritudine]

Wasn't it Clarice who asked about Semper Fi? I got the impression she was some kind of civilian consultant rather than a soldier, since she was addressed as 'Doctor' rather than by rank. Turns out this series is from an English company, which might help explain the other military continuity flubs.

[@_b1ack0ut4]

Clarice isn't a soldier, in fairness, however, still unlikely to have never seen a movie with it lmao

[@fatzmcgee]

I like how Andy suffocates Merwin but blames Mike for not administering morphine.

[@RandoNetizen27]

At certain angles Mike looks like a younger Matthew Lillard

[@kirkcavanaugh1493]

Gernades?? Geez, when Andy says this relationship is over he means it.

[@FnRenner]

As a US Marine (07/01-07/05) of this era the writing is killing my sense of emersion and suspension of disbelief.

[@Haru2609]

Where can I pay to see Mike and Andy playing more of this game? I watched other Let's play videos of it, but this one was by far the best to me.

[@zerin25]

I absolutely have to see how you guys lead the characters through this whole mess. Please play more!!!

[@Patrick-Phelan]

Clarice’s failure to have watched Leprechaun 4: In Space is the real horror here.

[@dantronic1836]

This was amazing. That generator fixing marital strife.

[@kattnap92]

I would love to see them play the rest of this. Too funny!

[@mooniejohnson]

“You know what this marriage really needs? One less pazuzu!”

[@theyorkshirejo]

I’d love a full playthrough of these games from you guys. They would be so chaotic 😂

[@V26587]

It seems Andy is having the more exciting side of the story lol should of done Andy Cam 😂

[@JediS1138]

I would REALLY REALLY love to see more of the Mike and Andy horror marriage counseling simulator. PLEASE!?

[@betteryou7hanme]

Thank God there was some 60 year old duct tape and gasoline down here in this ancient ruin.

[@slimkt]

After seeing how the game plays out on single player, Andy is an incredible agent of chaos.

[@shodri92]

1:21:20 "...I've not seen a single Pazuzu" Mike, a minute ago you literally grabbed a Pazuzu figurine..... (1:20:30)

[@Steve-YT383]

Would love to see a part 2!!

[@Artificer1911]

I had this playing in the background and was so confused why they were talking about Our Lord and Saviour Kahless.

[@TheVagabond7]

Please continue! You two were making this game so much more entertaining. :)

[@joseybryant7577]

Night Gallery deserves more recognition. Pretty solid show.

[@NYAFangirl]

Waiting for more Marriage Argument Simulator in 2022! This is so brilliant.

[@mblackwl]

Akkad! That's where I built the Eiffel Tower in my last Civ game!

[@Minilena]

Starts at 1:34 :) Loving all the Hallowstream shenanigans!

[@bigbadgrun8821]

Please do more of these, I would really love to see how this ends.

[@MiniSkirtMusic]

We need a ‘ruminate in marital discourse’ merch line

[@MurderTurtle]

Finally watching this stream VOD. Valentine's Day was a poorly chosen day to do so, I think.

[@bensingleton6144]

Pigeotto hairdo lol

[@liamnehren1054]

According to the wiki Rachel was driving in the accident that lost Eric his leg... it's a little unclear but it seems like their marriage started to fail because she felt guilty but translated that into isolating herself from him and sleeping around.... maybe there's more to it but what a B#$^*!

[@lordmilktoast1016]

Please do the full game would love to see your reactions to the upcoming choices

[@humaj19]

I'm not a big fan of these particular interactive movies, but I am a big fan of this video. I propose OX reads up (at least a little) on the interconnectivity easter eggs and fan theories about how the games' narratives will properly collide, and discuss that as seriously as Mandy (Aike?) played House of Ashes, while playing The Devil in Me when it comes out. Mandy again, or any combination of 2+ OXen. We love you all.

[@kdjslvgds]

oh god these faces are really hilarious sometimes

[@hermon1019]

You guys should continue playing this
