Justin & Brian Are The 7th Guest - FMV QUEST, Episode 4

[@bekkaanneee]

its such a shame that we didn't get more brian and justin content. they're so good together, two equally yet very different chaotic energies about them.

@Wells Grey bro nobody is stupid enough to fall for this

[@yurigouveawagner9432]

i just started the video but it really feels like a chaotic uncle/electric nephew dynamic

[@schuylerdade]

Justin at the beginning: How dare you use a walkthrough! Justin two minutes in: Okay, just don't use the walkthrough for the puzzles. Justin three minutes in: Never mind, use the walkthrough for everything. This is maddening.

[@Trick.Sparrow]

I cannot articulate how well this game *didn't* age. it's agonisingly slow, you can softlock yourself in the maze very easily, navigating from one room to another takes an age, you can teleport across the mansion without warning (and it will take you a solid five or six minutes to navigate your way back to where you were), some puzzles are straight impossible to solve without looking at the hints book (which you have to backtrack to the library to read, taking another five or six minutes), NO cutscene is skippable, certain lines of dialogue will repeat several times per minute for the entire duration of your attempt at solving a puzzle, the music is poison, it's just... I have never been more grateful that people studied what makes a game fun, so that we don't have to live like this anymore

[@Chernobylkinsman]

Feeling lonely?

[@Sco6014]

yeah man I agree. I used to think it was such a cool game but watching this shows how corny it is. It's really satanic and uhh... I'd totally play a VR remake of this shit

My favorite thing about old polygon videos with Brian in them: everyone in the comments section talking about how they love the new guy. Brian was an incredible addition to the polygon team! He’s a comedic genius and I’m glad he got recognized immediately when he was first hired.

[@colakelvins]

this is so weird because it’s like hearing justin and the heir to his empire. every time justin says “Brian” I freak out it’s like worlds colliding........ the jackbox vids with justin griffin and brian are one thing but hearing JUST THESE TWO BOYS interacting is wild on a whole fresh level

[@DeeDee-ye5qe]

i weirdly get this

[@stoomdoom6148]

Brian's been doing a great job so far. Not easy to hold your own against a McElroy, comedically. Kudos!

[@marthfador]

When I was much younger, we had the 7th Guest in our little drawer of games. My mom refused to let me play it, saying it would be 'too spooky'. In the meantime, I played a game that I can't recall the name of where the hotel you're staying at is a vortex to Hell and a cave just outside the door shot poisonous arrows into you. A+ parenting

[@MrPhish21]

holy buckets, brians a good one! a good get polygon, you cherish that boy

[@ESCHOIRvan]

This was one of my favourite games as a kid. The 'sex' scenes were risque and the crypt maze was terrifying. The whole finale at the end was a weird but wonderful you-survived-the-horror-mansion animation (and still didn't really explain about the story).

[@stevierose8749]

Hearing their voices together is surreal

[@deanc9195]

It’s VERY brave of the internet to not have this crazy viral... The internet’s very own trickster god and the oldest brother of the brotherhood of brothers together? This needs more love

[@CarnSarnit]

This is definitely better when Justin has someone to riff and laugh with.

Justin, you've run from the best cutscene in this game. Please dear god click the balloon in the game room!

[@AsAboveISoBelow]

"The Fat Man" is actually George Sanger. Awesome guy. Edit: I should note, that "The Fat Man" is his stage name.

[@AsAboveISoBelow]

Justin, I beg you to make a full series playing through this game. This is my childhood. I couldn't sleep the whole time my mom played it. I was 8 at the time.

[@newfleshrecords]

It's so nice to hear Brian. He's so funny, and him and Justin riff off each other really well in this episode.

[@ghostbeer_]

Feel so blessed to have the Brian addition to this wonderful series

This is amazing. Really happy this is back and Brian is incredible. Him and Griffin should revive Cool Games Inc.

[@dannyhernandez5143]

Justin never disappoints but Brian, you are a treasure! Keep making these good, good videos boys!

[@melissajanefletcher]

All of the dude voices sound like Justin doing a bit

[@KeaBored]

Yes! I was so worried this show wasn’t gonna continue

[@thevoidlord1796]

its fucking wild that this is the ending of the mcelroy era and the rise of the bdg era. This is perhaps the only documented moment of these legendary figures colliding

[@coolkid92223]

This game has many parts to enjoy, but I think the best is the "throwing-a-piano-down-the-stairs music cue"

[@Sage_the_Turt]

God I so so wish there was more bdg&mcelroy content

[@rafttree]

This was extremely delightful, I would love a Brian + Justin series.

justin (and griffin tbh) were a loss from polygon, but brian and the other new people just keep improving. i only wish that we could see justin and brian interact more, because wow it’s fantastic

Y'skipped one of my favorite parts in the playroom. Click the balloon and you get an evil clown. "Want a balloon, sonny? here's a nice one. Reeeed ballOOOOOON!!!"

[@AverageDrafter]

I know this is late, and I know this is really, really pedantic, but I actually watched THE MAKING OF THE 7TH GUEST when I had the game, and I have to defend the acting. The woman who directed the actors told them to play it as big as possible because of how poorly the technology was going to compress the video and how washed out it all was going to be. The only way to get anything across was to go full melodrama and she was 100% correct. It is one of my favorite examples of an artist adapting to the technical limitations, and the ridiculous hammy acting and vaudevillian costumes make it all so great. BTW I rewatched the documentary (kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmGsiWeXn82fgqM) and I love its Waiting for Guffman "normal folks puttin on a show" vibe.

[@adampower3475]

Rewatching this, Im kinda sad there wasn't more BDG and Justin crossover at Polygon, they have a pretty fun dynamic!

[@RampagingPixie]

The first three fmv quests were really good but I think bringing in another person (and yay! More Brian content!) really made this series pop

please continue this series i need more justin commentary over nonsensical gameplay

[@meikohan]

I played this game hundreds of times as a kid (no consoles and a Mac only household meant limited gaming options), and when the game was finally re-released for iOS a few years back, I found I still knew most of the puzzle solutions from memory, and the hands pressing through the painting still scared me.

[@natalieeaton8800]

I love slowly watching them realize the actual gameplay itself is not entertaining to watch and just rushing through it to see more wacky cutscenes

[@pliable-head]

I remember playing bits and pieces of this game with my dad back when it was new(ish) - THE SKY IS RUDDY YOUR FATE IS BLOODY! stuck out so clearly in my head and I'm so glad it made it into this video lol

[@mariane1893]

[@AChimpKnockinAbout]

Two good boys smushed together. Glad to hear there's more on the way

[@ojcorp]

this banter is exactly what fmv quest needed 👌👌👌

[@sniccsnake7617]

My FMV game recommendation is The Infectious Madness of Dr Dekker. You play as a psychologist who is the replacement for the recently murdered Dr Dekker. His killer is one of his patients (or his assistant) and it is up to you to not only find out who killed him but to also learn about your patients and their stories. ( everytime you play through the game there is a different killer and it's really cool!!)

[@Xenoviel]

BDG is bestest newest Polygon boi.

[@paralyzedpengi]
