Crime scenes and copy machines [Gabriel Knight Sins of the Fathers - Part 2]

[@quleughy]

I didn’t know who some of the voice actors were, but as soon as I heard him, I just knew that police officer had to be the same voice actor as Johnny Bravo’s. Lo and behold, it was.

[@murraybeth14]

i knew it immediately too! such an iconic voice!!

[@fmltbh]

SAME!

[@CorwinWolf]

Yes! He does the same inflection, I love it!

[@wootbarrelsauce]

Absolutely love that you’re playing older games and a wider genre/style in general. Very refreshing. Been watching you for a long time, glad you’re still here.

[@macachist]

It blows my mind that this game came out in the 90s. It still looks so good, I love pixel games. They style is so gorgeous. I love your playthroughs! Wonderful so far as always.

[@Riccardo_Mori]

My wife approached my desk as I was watching, and saw one of the dialogue scenes where we see Gabriel Knight's face a bit better, and she commented "He looks a bit like Conan O'Brien". Now, even though I don't see this great resemblance, I can't unsee that, and every dialogue scene now cracks me up, as I'm imagining Conan O'Brien as the game's protagonist. 😄

[@AshleysCamera]

I was wondering who else was going to say this! I immediately thought it looked like Conan and it makes me laugh every time his conversation screen comes up.

[@Riccardo_Mori]

@@AshleysCamera Hehe! And Gabriel's deep voice now sounds like Conan is doing an impression!

[@vivid5072]

I thought the same!! Lol

[@EricLee2190]

Damn, now I can't unsee it as Conan O'Brien: Sins of the Fathers.

[@artoocase]

I’ve been calling him Gym Bro Conan.

[@kaojen]

Mark Hamil is such a great voice actor. Also, one voice I recognized was the police officer at the front desk. Jim Cummings! Pooh, Pete, Darkwing Duck etc

[@RoboGori]

Was NOT expecting Johnny Bravo Cop

[@remylegaux9859]

the mime is my favorite guy ever what a bro

[@AngeliqueStP]

Most contaminated crime scene ever... but with added Macbeth. Gotta love these old games!😆

[@H1GHLANDER360]

The voice acting in these 90s point and click games will always be incredible to me.

[@LeValdrian]

John, I discovered you mainly through your adventure playthroughs. It is and was a treat that you take your time and listen/read all there is and make it entertaining to watch with your commentary. It adds such a nice amount of immersion and makes it all the more interesting to follow the plot. So thanks again for this new series!

[@toadfake4588]

Hallucinogens in coffee? Wow, that's crazy.

[@therealspacecoyote]

The “item acquirer” music cue sounds like “The Promise” by When In Rome every time to me

[@kathie_explores]

Same me too lmao

[@DajJednego]

And when Gabriel talks to his cop friend, it sometimes sounds like "Papers, Please" music. Wonder if they were inspired or I'm hearing it wrong.

[@leeannette1732]

Thank you for playing this it's do nostalgic and refreshing

[@nicolecravv]

Your Kathy Rain playthrough is one of my favorites so I'm loving this one!!

[@brybommie14]

Fingers crossed for a new yearly House Party video...lots of ladies await! And I want the orange dabbing John to return for a limited time 😆

[@annaa2856]

Really miss the good old adventuregames, i played a few back in the day like monkey island, kings quest 7 and simon the sorcerer. Loved em all. Always wanted to play Gabriel Knight but never got around to it. So happy to see John playing it, i am very much enjoying this playthrough series. The voice actors are amazing. Thanks so much for playing this John.

[@jadesmith417]

I assume Malia Geede is a follower of VooDoo, or at least her ancestors are. They probably made offerings to the VooDooo queen for wealth and power. I also think that Heinz Ritter and Harrison Knight switched countries and names to help them better assilimate to a new environment. I'm excited to see where the game goes from here!

[@toadfake4588]

Mark Hamil doing a voice in this game is cool

[@Mannequin-Skywalker]

19:04 Extra bit of trivia with the conversation between these two. They both played the voice of the Joker in Batman: TAS.

[@samwisegamgee1243]

I'm late to this series and catching up, but just wanted to add that the guy who does Alfred in BTAS and Justice League is also in this game!

[@isadoraa.penar.f.9529]

Really love this point and click video games from the 90s

[@JayWolf1985]

Fun playthrough so far. One tip however that I think can be beneficial to the playthrough... don't be afraid to spam away on topics when questioning people and/or discussing topics with them. From these first two videos, you seem to almost be avoiding it or treating it like you covered everything by only asking/bringing up the topic once. However, a lot of them go deeper than you think & provide some great overall information & lore to the game. For example, asking Gabriel's grandmother about his grandfather, dad, mother, and his grandfather's previous name. If she has nothing left to say, she'll say, "I don't know what else to tell you, dear." But she can dish out a lot of info on all four of those topics, and will give you info that will play into the game later on, etc.

[@remylegaux9859]

thank you for playing the original and not the ugly as sin "remaster" i hate the new versions. this is such a fun game. live in louisiana and seeing horror games that take place here is always so cool. played this as a kid but i sucked at it lol. lots of memories just wandering around the locales exhausting dialogue. ;v;

[@SuperBrieBear]

Games of my childhood :) The nostalgia is strong. I didn't play this one. But as you said this was the look of games in the 90's. It was wonderful ❤

[@Sirene1134]

the production value of this game is ridiculous. thanks for playing and showing this off to us!

[@CorwinWolf]

I love that you are playing these older games. Thank you so much!!!

[@Wasserliliensee]

I really appreciate this playthrough! I would never play this on my own and your commentary and little infos like which voice actor is which character make it a really fun experience ^^

[@veganspidergirl]

I can't get enough of this playthrough. thank you!

[@elvensith001]

remember everybody: ACAB. this was not an excessive use of mimes.

[@Steve-YT383]

I can't wait to get home and watch. I really enjoyed the first video!! Thanks John!!!

[@awesomekittypower]

I've been so excited to watch more of this!!!! It reminds me of a Nancy Drew game I used to play on Nintendo DS

[@loco250490]

19:19-19:30 this little immitation moment i just replayed it at least 20 times you had me crying dude 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@felipewrany]

Hey John, it's me, one of the guys. I rarely comment on any of your videos, but today I feel like I should do that. I'm AuDHD and there are some days that I struggle to do anything. When I'm on these days, your videos always make me feel better and I'd like to thank you for that. Think critically.

[@aettic]

It's so impressive how excellent the writing and voice acting is in this game (for the most part). Sure, it's not perfect, and it's definitely a different vibe than modern games, but I love the banter between Grace and Gabriel for instance. Or the Drug Store owner, bartender, etc.

[@strangehares]

That line, from like 22:00 in is from an old movie! I thought it sounded familiar and had to look it up. "You just just put your lips together and blow"

[@JeronimoStilton14]

At the start, definitely not John reading the guide between videos and then saying he “remembered over lunch”

[@JohnTwolfe]

that kind of charade would be pointless, considering I look up other things in the middle of the videos while on camera. but I get it, you need something to nitpick 😆

[@JeronimoStilton14]

@@JohnTwolfe hey man it was a joke, I love your content. Sorry it didn’t come across that way. I had aspirations of YouTubing years ago and that was the kind of thing I would do if I got stuck. “Well guess we’ll end it here” frantically looks up guide “welcome back to part 2” lol I know you mentioned reading guides in part 1, I haven’t finished this one yet to know if you continue to do so.

[@JohnTwolfe]

Oh ok, no problem. Sorry I am just used to dealing with people looking for a “gotcha” moment so sometimes I react too quickly

[@josephmad3255]

Hell, yeah, here we go. I love this series so far John.

[@KittyScythe]

Every time that chime plays, all I hear is "State Farm is There."

[@aettic]

If you talk to Grace for a while, she'll share some history about her family being traditional Japanese, but that she didn't live in Japan for very long. I don't think she says where she used to live before New Orleans, but I feel like the writers and voice actor (Leah Remini) did a fantastic job nailing the 1990s New York vibe. She reminds me so much of the hip-trendy New Yorkers you'd see in a TV sitcom from that era (Seinfeld, Friends, etc.), at least in terms of her attitude and responses, and certainly her accent.

[@Quinlana83]

That was really fun! Thank you for playing, John!

[@smeasy18]

I couldn't tell right away who the other voices were but i could tell almost immediately that it was leah remini who voices grace probably because im a huge the king of queens fan haha! Such a funny show!

[@Shagan_bake]

Really loving this came so far. The voice acting and style is so nice.

[@photographerleia]

That copy machine puzzle took me an embarrassing amount of time to figure out when I played this.

[@adamdittmer1593]

I am so happy you're playing this game, I've never heard of it before which is surprising because point and click adventures are my favorite! Hope to see you play more of this and more point and click adventures in general!

[@sydb1566]

i love this so much!! told myself i was going to rewatch part 1 today but saw you uploaded! i remember watching your putt putt and goosebumps games, then this reminded me of “date in the park”. i’m really enjoying it and it’s so fun to hear your commentary

[@andrewwurzbach4700]

Love the retro games!!! The future of this investment should be discussed in the next shareholder meeting.

[@crimsonknightsoul]

Can't wait to see where this story goes. Love watching you play adventure point and click games!

[@Ebbsos]

Wow I didn't expect that to be Mark Hamill! Just saw another comment that Jim Cummings is in this too?! Wow what a treat with such awesome voice actors!

[@AlexDraut]

This game started slow, but I'm glad things are picking up. Also the Kathy Rain LP was fantastic!

[@anicole8289]

Love this series so far, I've been looking forward to this video all day! ❤

[@ek8377]

Yeeeeeeeeeeesss i have been waiting all day for this. Really enjoying this nostalgia bomb. ❤🎉 did anyone play the Indiana jones game back in the day? Would love to see that played again. ❤❤❤

[@rhyslacroix9102]

I've been enjoying this play-through a lot. Super excited to watch you play the rest!

[@ari_ahri]

really enjoying this playthrough!! super relaxing and interesting to watch while i'm also able to do other things on the side :) thanks for the good content john

[@tomsense404]

You spoil us with Silent Hills, and now you spoil us with a legit Alen Wake game… how thoughtful!

[@SabinFigaro]

Wicked voodoo magic man!

[@NeoDragonKnight]

The animations are pretty impresive in this game especially for the time and its all sprite based.

[@aettic]

I'm just kind of floored at how much Alone in the Dark (2024) borrows from this game (thematically in some cases, and literally in others). There have been a few things where I've gone "oh hey! That was in Alone in the Dark!"

[@calicat420]

Gray Matter is another point and click adventure game written by Jane Jensen. Highly recommend that one as well!!

[@biyukun]

I'm pretty sure you already finished this game, but for the algorithm I'll say I am enjoying this game! I'm intrigued over his grandfather's secret(s). I'm pretty sure I know what jaeger means, so I guess he might have been some sort of fighter of the occult--and that's why he chose the English last name Knight.

[@matthewquackerz3981]

Omfg is that voice actor for the motorcycle cop, Johnny, bravo???????????

[@tonytwowaters]

I never played these myself but I remember my stepmother being obsessed with them, especially Beast Within. Not trying to be "that guy" here, but I'm gonna be. I have three cancerous brain tumors (yeah, see?) and you not only helped me get through 40 rounds of proton radiation therapy, but my infusions. You help me not go crazy at night when I can't focus on anything but I'm thankful you're still around. I can't remember how my ex and I found you but I'm glad we did because you're not like those overhyped Tubers that act like they've had way too much speed. I don't want you to feel obligated to keep going if you don't want to. I just wanted to say thanks for being rad.

[@lizismis]

The cop sounds like jhonny bravo.

[@tjspeirs75]

I wonder if John's played Narco? Recent point n click, also set in New Orleans. It's pretty neat!

[@swagromancer]

Knowing German and the literal translation of "Schattenjäger", I think it would be much more fun to discover it organically in the game. Fun fact though: it could be singular or plural.

[@doctorgamble1545]

i remember myst 3 had Brad Dourif playing as it villian

[@BiancaBojan]

Excited for part 3!

[@urielgrey]

Awesome John Thanks!

[@lullaby8056]

I've played the Anniversary Edition of this game so it's very interesting to watch you play the original version! ❤

[@MarlopolyGaming]

I adore old games, cause they couldn't rely on engaging gameplay or flashy graphics, the storylines always had to be solid

[@joshs9375]

I am absolutely in love with this let's play series John. It takes me back to when times were good 🥹

[@Emily-xk2du]

John TAKES REVENGE on the curio shop owner with the inscrutable French phrase by asking him what "Schattenjager" means and then leaving him confused af lol. Curio shop guy gonna live his life consumed by Schattenjager, asking random NPCs in HIS life what it means and getting nowhere... (Also I think John should be allowed to put on the priest outfit during conversations and be like "Are you sure about that...? TELL THE TRUTH" and COMPEL them. He'd crack this case wiiiiide open 😎)

[@melanied917]

MARK HAMILL? that one I never would have guessed lol and I love MH

[@SabinFigaro]

Thats mark hamill?! No way? He soo good..haha...I get into arguments with someone I know about who the best joker is and I say Mark Hamill..haha then I play a clip of his laughs for the rest of the night lol... Honestly, due to nostalgia...Nicholson is my fav.

[@Emily-xk2du]

Gabriel Knight: LeOpArD fuh?? 👀👀

[@AngeliqueStP]

Hey now, some of us have a lil' French in our hearts - well French Canadian anyway.😉Unfortunately I mostly just remember the insults, since they were all I used anyway, lol.😁 "Parle francais comme une vache espagnole..."

[@char1211]

I love the implication that a French cow would be any better at speaking French than a Spanish one😂

[@AngeliqueStP]

@@char1211 Right? And keeping that joke in mind plus having grown up with a couple of cows, I'd always tease them to 'improve their language skills'. 😆

[@michellechang5882]

i was waiting for this!!! so interesting!!

[@catiamatias2791]

Id see your playtrought of katy rain and what you said is true is hevely inspired in this game and this game is very cool i like the story of the game a lot.

[@Butterfree91]

Grandma’s house music slaps don’t @ me.

[@SabinFigaro]

I thought it said you needed to go through your father's things at the beginning...at gram's?

[@RgAmelie]

Yaaay was waiting part 2!

[@Pendragon88]

I dont know why, but when I see Gabriel I think he looks like Gorrister from I have no mouth..

[@takimi_nada]

He really does

[@austinkgraves]

John, you should try The Darkside Detective. It is also point and click, but more recent. It's comedy horror.

[@BoneStack117]

The narrator does add a lot to the game

[@Jdyke2059]

ANY shot of revisting a kings quest game?

[@anacsadder]

I was thrown off by the spelling during the first video, but now I'm realizing that "cabrit" is similar to "capri."

[@KazooRainbow]

Was there an opportunity to actually use the hair gel when photocopying? That'd be neat.

[@RedUnit10]

So far, not bad, but I was expecting the mood to be a bit more spooky. Creepy. Dark. Thus far it feels like any other point and click detective game I've seen.

[@stembird8791]

John, speaking of Cathy Rain... If you have spare time, could you consider uploading your playthrough of Cathy Rain: Director's Cut in this channel? I used to watch in your Twitch VOD, but Twitch company cancelled service and exited market in my country and so I can't see any of your stream nor VODs. I hope you could consider, thanks.

[@guystudios9878]

You should play the blackwell series

[@indigo...]

gabriel's accent is so inconsistent i love it most of the time he's just vaguely southern, but sometimes he puts on that thick accent for a word or two, like for 'leopard fuh' 😭😭

[@Animegypsy]

Hey John, it's Guys!!!

[@KrzyKrnG]

Wait, was that Johnny Bravo as the Bike cop?

[@samwisegamgee1243]

Yup!

[@Emily-xk2du]

I listened close and thought I knew who Mosely was going to be voiced by.... I thought when he sounded kinda mocking he sounded like SOMETHING I'd heard from a cartoon before, thought it was the air conditioner from Brave Little Toaster (Phil Hartman, apparently?). I was sitting all smug and ready to be right... SPOILERS BELOW MARK HAMILLLLLL??? It doesn't sound like him at all, this is so wild! WHAT?

[@CrystalMorningdove]

This game is so it tho 🤩

[@リリーリサ]

Johnny Bravo cop?? haha

[@frederickletterblair]

I think that "Ritter" is knight in German.

[@pedrokayser]

John you dont do more bg3 videos ?

[@dasriechen1140]

Hey John, it's guys

[@crizmeow8394]

It’s super interesting to see how the little quality of game improvements have appeared in adventure games since their creation, like you mentioned Kathy Rain, you can get indicators of all the interactive objects so you don’t have to pixel hunt, even something like danganronpa and phoenix wright have that detail added in to lessen the frustration, games like Laura bow provide you with lists of tasks so you can keep track of what you have already done and what you still have to do, for older games I know the manual that came with the games was a must since it actually explained and expanded the game and we’ve lost that too with time, so they just threw you into the game with no tutorial.

[@brainmushart561]

I was lowkey thinking about Kathy rain before john brought it up glad it wasn't just meh lol.

[@dimdharma]

I'm so happy about this series! I love seeing John play these old classics!
