DRACULA UNLEASHED PART 1 🎃 Andy and Luke vs Live Action Dracula in the FMV Zone | Hallowstream 2023

[@MsCunningLinguistic]

Andy, stone-faced: "the views of Dracula Unleashed on mental health do not reflect the views of Outside Xtra LLC"

[@TheYorkRose]

Just imagining Luke phoning Andy and saying he has had a rough day and Andy heading over with a blunt weapon to "help" 😂 (Funny insertion of a disclaimer but defo also an important point when oxboxtra are so great at this stuff and the 90s and 19th century were somewhat less good 😂)

[@MsCunningLinguistic]

@@TheYorkRose i think they strike the perfect balance of not letting problematic depictions of stuff ruining the mood of the video, but always shining a spotlight on it. They tend to default to obvious awkwardness and pointing out the nonsensicality of it all, which makes it easy to laugh along without feeling like they're minimizing it. 🥰 "how are you gonna gender this, Goosebumps?" / "I dread to think" is one of my fave examples of this, from the very first (iconic) FMV Zone video 😆

[@spiffymarc]

@@MsCunningLinguistic This approach is really what sets the channels apart for me. You've articulated it well.

[@stratospherica]

Andy's deadpan wit is why he's my fav.

[@MsCunningLinguistic]

@@stratospherica Luke's puppy-like enthusiasm and Andy's world-weary deadpan is why they are an unstoppable combo for streams like these. 😆

Thank you!

Another great video from Jane's FMV zone

[@kristianfischer9814]

You mean Ellen’s FMV Zone, thank you.

[@EuanFoulis]

Jane’s slow steady coup continues

[@TheYorkRose]

I think Ellen's FMV Zone is the one where they actually pay attention to the plot during the prologue and don't keep saying it doesn't make sense because they weren't listening and don't talk over/skip every video scene 😜

[@AmberFrmThVaultGaming]

I prefer Mike's FMV zone.

I kept thinking the bad cabbie accents were Luke and Andy mocking the bad cabbie accents in the game, but every time I looked back it was just the actual game audio.

[@RecurringRob]

These accents have real “first time dnd players trying out accents with the tiniest knowledge of what they actually sound like” energy

[@benbeckwith2532]

The end of this stream had "I don't care what has happened. It is time for bed now turn it off" vibes. Very much my FMV experience from back in the day.

[@trustypatches995]

Yet another classic brought to us by Jane's FMV Zone.

"Some kind of European language!" I'm pretty sure he was just reading the accents notes in the script for all the characters.

[@KuueenKumi]

Wow thanks man

[@johnnyt7067]

Truly, FMVs are to games what DCOMs are to movies. And Luke and Andy are the two best people to take both on. Looking forward to Part 2!

[@coaxtl1413]

Watching these scenes with British people laughing their butts off at the bad accents is great. Sorry to miss it live, but headaches wait for no one 😢.

[@utility63]

The British accents are so bad, but why does the "American" also sound like a British person doing a bad American accent?

[@weneedaladder8384]

That scene where she takes down the garlic and opens the window must be incredibly frustrating for van Helsing, considering it goes down in exactly the same way in the novel, leading to Lucy's death/undeath/redeath the exact same way it happens to Juliet in this game.

[@seang5815]

Doctor makes two simple requests to save his patient’s life, and it is ignored by family and friends 😂

[@Zekkxy]

Luke and Andy’s delighted faces every time somebody busts out a terrible cockney accent are just wonderful.

[@kristianfischer9814]

Oh, I remember this one. This is what we had 30 years ago, children. THIS IS WHAT WE HAD!

[@andyreynolds6194]

Crikey can you imagine an FMV game with Matt Berry absolutely gnawing the furniture with ham acting?! What a game it would be.

[@EuanFoulis]

[@Ashethetics]

A What We Do in the Shadows FMV game would be weirdly totally on brand.

[@davehumphries7635]

​@@EuanFoulisI'd never thought of it like that but that's spot on!

[@chriswest6988]

Garth Merenghi's Dark Place might as well be a collection of fmv cutscenes, so you might be able to make due with that..

[@timthorp9833]

I remember playing this game as a kid, how nostalgic! And then having no clue what to do, so there was a lot of guessing. And dying! A couple of recommendations, in case Luke or Andy see this: 1. Try failing on each day. There are some pretty great (and funny) death scenes for our good ol' protagonist. 2. After you finish the scene, CLICK the journal and then CLICK THE PEN. Alexander Morris will write in the journal, explaining what happened in the scene. Oftentimes, this explains a lot more than what you actually see in the scene. And no, this is not at all obvious. Good ol' FMV games. :)

[@chloem.642]

They never did get this I feel like it would have helped lol

[@davidhopley2661]

I've got a vague memory of my mum playing this game when I was very young, specifically the scene of the asylum patient getting blackjacked.

[@SkeletonDrums1]

Well done for shining a light on this game gents. The actors clearly poured their hearts and souls into the performances and its a crying shame they are not more widely celebrated! Also as a Londoner, its so heartwarming to hear your cities native tongue at its lyrical best!

[@johnsharplin]

Justice for Luke! This is like the Twitter/X thing, it will ALWAYS be Luke's FMV Zone to me. The fact that he missed one of the very first ones is entirely irrelevant.

[@Giga-lemesh]

At 1:30:50 I heard “please take me to spank you driver” 😂😂 skipped the dialogue at just the wrong, or maybe right, time

[@GunslingerSNP]

Game producer: “I’d like you to draw a carriage.” Artist: “Best I can do is the back end and part of a back wheel.” Also the psychic damage comment was spot on 😂

[@lisah-p8474]

Anything to keep from having to draw a horse.

[@Thrythlind]

Well, the Dracula Novel is canonically a collection of journals, newspaper clippings, receipts, and audio recordings. So it's basically found footage. And part of the story is the group collecting all of those records into one collection. So it's definitely possible that a version of that collection got put out as a novel.

[@SimonWarren28977]

The game itself actually only cost 100k to make - the other 1.9 million went on the very finest accent coaches.

[@nichan008]

7:55 "Death is such a dreadful business." I wasn't looking at the screen and I fully thought that was Andy or Luke making fun of the game with an overdramatic line read 💀😂

[@lozzimusprime]

Glad it's not just me who heard "piss history" this was a great watch after a long day at work. Your FMV videos are always a Halloween favourite. Think the carriage voice actor was using this as his casting tape with the amount of voices hes done. Can imagine the clopping of horse hooves is now the coconut trick from Monty Python 😂

[@VeWatchesVideos]

@@borjesvensson8661 Might be, yeah! Though it could also be that Stoker had no idea how Dutch names work and just chose something that sounded vaguely Dutch but mostly cool. I mean, reading Quincy in the book makes it very clear Stoker had no idea how Americans speak either. XD

[@borjesvensson8661]

I’ve been looking forward to this so much! Been mentally chanting “FMV, FMV, FMV!” since waking up. Now have finished the morning chores and can enjoy. Gosh, that actor does sound so much like Matt Berry! This does have a bit of a Garth Marenghi air to it… Oh, my goodness. The accents. They’re the true horror. (BTW, Asylums in Britain at that time had shifted to a much more modern system, with nursing staff encouraged to be patient, gentle, and to listen to the residents. In fact there are well documented cases of released patients voluntarily re-admitting themselves, showing quite clearly that the barbarous practices of the past were firmly in the past.)

[@pmonday]

I've been looking forward to entering the FMV Zone all year, and this was another absolute banger.

[@zacharysmith4856]

Absolute classic from beginning to end. Andy and Luke’s FMV Zone is always a treat.

[@RossHick]

The real horror turned out to be 90s-era optical media.

2023: Runs USB drive through washing machine by mistake. Fine. 1993: Furiously blows on and polishes media in futile attempt to summon the tiny Genie inside to do my bidding.

28:00 - well the actual novel is presented as a compilation of letters and diary entries written by the characters, so I guess in this game, Bram Stoker isn't a fiction author, he's a guy that collected actual letters/diaries and edited them together to produce a documentary book?

Shout out to that one drunk sailor dude in the pub, that actor only got the one scene but he earned that paycheck. Genuinely may be the only performance that isn't held back by dodgy accents, wooden acting, or daytime soap-opera energy.

I'm not so much laughing at the FMV, though I am laughing at it, as I am dying laughing at Luke and Andy laughing at the game. I absolutely lost it at Carmina Burana playing in the pub scene. Like, wtf? Why? I mean, I do like Carmina Burana, but why did they pick that song as the background music? I can't stop laughing. Again, I was already laughing a lot, but then when y'all started speedrunning it and then the game crashed I really lost it again. Especially at Andy laughing at Luke looking up the final cutscene. And then Luke just being done with it all when the vid wouldn't load.
