Returning to this anytime that isn’t 2013 is depressing because I miss these playthroughs.

[@BeefMeisterSupreme]

Oh man, coming back to this as 2023 approaches gives us the sinking feeling that we are just trying to chase nostalgia as the cruel march of time sands down the number of family members we have, we've all experienced having three close family members die over the course of three years, right?

[@juhoristoaukusti]

You guys get me.

[@shelbyvillerules9962]

I remember playing this game as a kid and eventually (after years) getting to the end only to die because I didn’t pick up that fucking rubber band from several hours earlier. Seriously, that has to be one of the cheapest things in any game ever made. It’s like looking for a needle in a haystack when you aren’t aware that a needle even exists let alone that you _require_ one... whilst also avoiding sharks.

[@948320z]

As for why Eric Chahi is absent from this, according to Wikipedia: "After Future Wars was released in 1989, Chahi had the choice to either work on Cuisset's next game, Operation Stealth, or create his own game." He chose to create his own game, which turned out to be a little game called Another World. Just imagine, he could have been working on THIS instead of single-handedly creating one of the best game of all time...

[@theblackwidower]

Well, clearly he missed out.

[@tsmunt8197]

I miss these complete let's plays. I certainly enjoy Let's Drown Out, but I liked seeing them rag on the ends of shitty games as well.

[@xHasten]

Yeah, there's definitely something lost when they don't actually play through a game.

[@Coloradoguy234]

xHasten Agreed. Maybe we'll get some full LPs with the after Christmas drought.

[@TheVGMajor]

Coloradoguy234 Good news is they said, specifically Gabriel on twitter, that they are bored of the let's drown out series. Hopefully that means they will do more let's plays now.

[@desmondtester373]

[@lennartmeyerstenfjeld9473]

Now that Let's Drown Out is over, people are complaining on those videos that they want more Let's Drown Out. "Fans want something new that's exactly the same." - Gabriel Morton, 2014

[@metroid473]

Their banter in the black void at the end of the game is always the best part.

[@officialgagethepyro5391]

POO

[@octotiggy]

The best part was loading this up with the Amiga's extra memory so that the robotic Amiga speech synthesizer would read all of the dialogue. "HALT! YOU ARE NOT EMM ARR MAR-TIN-EZZ" And then you'd try to click through the dialogue and it would crash. Those were the days eh

[@HomoSeal]

I was eating ravioli with spicy curry and had it right in my mouth when Yahtzee shouted "IT'S OPENING, JOHN!" My nostrils are now burning.

[@Nondescript_Brit]

I hope your nostrils have since recovered

[@Dinofly4]

1:15 What I immediately thought of when I saw that face was the phrase "By Azura, by Azura, by Azura!"

[@JakobVestergaardKhain]

Yahtzee's Sean Connery impression is just too much. My stomach is in cramps from laughter!

[@SteltekOne]

It is somehow comforting to learn that I am not the only one that slugged through those damn rat mazes only to find myself at the end of the game and not have the godforsaken rubber band required to finish it!

[@ShasOSwoll]

1:11:05 i can't help but think there was a missed opportunity for Otto to win the fight because he looks exactly like John and the player unknowingly controls him for the last bit of the game. probably a bad ending or something :P

[@moonraven6145]

Or maybe you were Otto all along, and the other Otto was just a figment of your imagination.

The amount of caps lock and punctuation abuse in this game, it could be a youtube comment.

[@Akay4444444444444444]

I always loved when a game's manual had a little in-universe booklet thing. The original Assassin's Creed had one and even pointed out how you always die when you touch water. The first 3 Sly Cooper games had that too but when one of my friends gave me Sly 3 as a gift it was pre-owned and lacked the manual.

[@tabula_rosa]

did you kill him? Was his flesh delicious?

[@Akay4444444444444444]

He was ashamed for not having the manual. I think making him torture his family to death was enough.

[@jakejutras2733]

What always sticks out in my mind is the manual for Donkey Kong Country. It had a more in depth story, details on all environments, characters, and items. Best part was Cranky Kong commenting in character on everything in the manual.

[@KiraSlith]

Yahtzee is a pretty cool guy, he plays games and doesn't afraid of anything.

[@ultimateninjaboi]

Because America isn't the only one who makes mistakes like that, contrary to what some might think. X3. I like to think of it as vindication.

[@zaphod888]

Donald Neuhaus - correct, but Langley, VA borders DC and the CIA headquarters is literally just across the river from DC. It's the Washington metro area. I'm not saying you're wrong, but it barely qualifies as a mistake.

[@theblackwidower]

Yes, but it was made by a French company, so them not knowing that, and assuming the CIA is headquartered in the nation's capital, isn't surprising.

Actually, I think the "life bracelets" they mention at like 26:00 or so are those inflatable....wing things? For learning to swim? They're sort of like inflatable rings that go onto your upper arms. Maybe that?

[@jakejutras2733]

water wings? I can see how they may have meant that but those aren't bracelets and I think they were hung up on the use of the word bracelet which implies use at the wrist.

I'd imagine itd be an absolutely terrible idea to train military or intelligence agents to not react to sudden, loud noises... like... being able to quickly and reflexively react to a sudden loud noise (like, I dunno, an explosion or gunfire) is actually a very beneficial aspect of our evolution. And it's ESPECIALLY handy for someone who, because of their work, would be much more likely to run into such things.

The Chzo Mythos were pretty good. And 1213, although the boss battles were annoying at times because of the way the engine handles non-platforming combat.
