[@TempusFugit78]

Don't lie, we all know you both met in a French opium den while selling bootleg copies of Gabriel Knight 2.

[@cheesemonkeyc]

I used to play this game all the time when I was a kid! Also, you can only give the flowers to Minnie when you're in the living room, for some reason.

[@IsaacMyers1]

On the subject of Pluto v. Goofy: The official ruling is that goofy, Donald, Micky, etc. are “funny animals”, or basically human. Pluto is actually a dog, not a funny dog.

[@ObiWanBillKenobi]

I really enjoyed watching the play of “The Last Half of Darkness” at Halloween time. 🎃 It would be cool if you did something else similar for spooky stuff, like Hugo 1 or some spooky text adventure or something. 🙃

[@MyHamburgerIsWet]

I've always been intruiged by the game Zork, no idea what it's about but if they do a text adventure I really hope its that one.

[@thernn14]

My two favorite youtubers back at it again in DOS! Woo!

[@txcforever]

Wait a minute. There is a license plate in Mickey's garage with 313 written on it. Isn't that Donald's license plate? Plot involving Mickey commiting a crime and blaming Donald for it confirmed.

[@partariothegoth]

I'd for sure like to see print shop stuff, it seems interesting and I'm not familiar with it, so I'd learn new stuff. really though, I'd like to see more of those House games, they made for some very entertaining videos.

[@jessewilley531]

Print SHOP!!!!!

[@ghostunix731]

@52min that looks like a Pentium dell

[@ematuskey]

LGR: "This was never the arrangement!" Roses: "I have altered the arrangement--pray I don't alter it further..."

[@kretesWMV]

5:40 In an alternate timeline, Mickey's letter to Donald was a little bit different. "Donald, Sorry to rush off without sayin' goodbye, but there's big trouble brewin'.Not sure why, but the stars have been blinkin' out, one by one. And that means disaster can't be far behind. I hate to leave you all but I've gotta go check into it.There's someone with a "Key"-the Key to our survival. So I need you and Goofy to find him, and stick with him. Got it?We need that key or we're doomed! So go to Traverse Town and find Leon. He'll point you in the right direction.P.S. Would ya apologize to Minnie for me? Thanks, pal. Signed - Mickey"

[@MiloKuroshiro]

Nah, in this game you play as Mixckey, Mickey's Nobody stuck in a simulation.

[@Dwagonuwu]

Mixckey's ultimate plan is to make 13 Mickanorts and forge the K~Blade

[@Kirkklan]

Heh.

[@KombatGod]

Boring Dude Now I wanna see the cutscene from Kingdom Hearts of Donald finding Pluto with the letter, then reading it and it just says "Dear Donald, I just wrote to tell you that I really like you! Your pal, Mickey Mouse."

And LGR is always less than enthusiastic unless he sees a calculator, Duke Nukem or an IBM keyboard.

You're not wrong.

[@ClaraIngewati73]

Or wood grain things

[@maugos]

Man, Mickey's friends are the most patient people ever.

[@jameswatson6876]

Even Donald, which since the 1940's has been depicted as short tempered and impatient. But I suppose that doesn't work well with a children's game about reading.

[@SeriusSim]

Could you try to write a letter to Donald, then go downstairs and call him on the phone, then back upstairs and write him a letter again, then repeat until you see if restraining orders have been implemented into the game?

[@princesspattycakeswm]

This make me choke on my milk. Actually hilarious.

[@MiloKuroshiro]

Really love when you guys do videos together. You two have such a fun chemistry in these.

[@nik4456]

I must be the only one that feels like they have no chemistry and the dude is super low energy.

[@spyjoe12]

I agree, they’re great together 😁

[@nopushbutton]

these are some of my favorite cozy let's plays, I like watching em to relax, along with yahtzee and gabriel let's drown outs and vinesauce vinny's egglike streams

[@clockworkNate]

@@nik4456 I sort of feel the same but honestly he just seems really high to me lol.

[@DucktatorD]

LGR and Pushingupsroses is always a good combination.

[@Dutchtica]

I always loved these let's play shorties you did with other special guests, if only because the conversations were more important than the actual games Though I am very concerned why Mickey's car looks EXACTLY like Donald Duck's 313

[@KombatGod]

Mickey's car always looked pretty similar, except its license plate was 113... So what puzzles me the most is the 313 license plate there in the top left corner of the garage.

[@SimonCallahan]

They all buy from the same car dealership. The dealership is owned by Pete and he gives real good deals on those particular cars.

[@TheBadDesperado]

Similar, but that looks pretty much exactly like Donald's. Mickey's car was longer. Seems like Donald got so much into debt he had to sell his car to Mickey..

[@KombatGod]

TheBadDesperado you're right. I think all the evidence points to that. He got Donald's car and replaced the license plate.

[@KombatGod]

Oh, I see a pixelated Mickey Mouse, on the thumbnail -> I'm kinda interested Oh, it's a PUR video -> I cannot not click! Oh, it features LGR! -> Insta-like! Seriously it's been too long since a collab between you two! Will we ever see you onscreen together though? (beside in Sim form, that is)

[@moramento22]

That would be really good, like a review made together or something like that.

[@Hedvigu]

Hearing you mention being fascinated with video game food and seeing Mickey throw those sandwiches together reminded me of one of my brief childhood obsessions; "Mickey saves the day", in which there's a particular mission where he's literally putting together sandwiches. That shit activated all my senses back then. Still remember that mayo. Goodness me.

[@crabman3144]

Based on part of the Christina Aguilera thing, a video of you guys screwing around in print shop would probably be interesting.

[@MagdalenRose]

My daughter has a game almost exactly like this and she absolutely loves it. Ha ha

[@fanfaretloudest]

3:32 "Mickey woke up and ran to the bathroom" Of course that would be appropriate, he's over 70 years old now! ;)

[@TheDanishGuyReviews]

FanfareT.Loudest Oh yes, he's turning 90 this November 18th!

[@helldog3105]

Your running commentary between the both of you is excellent. I really think you need to do Co-Op streams live. I would totally watch them. Especially if you play games like this.

[@helldog3105]

So I went looking for this and couldn't find a copy for sale. But I sat down with my 3 year old and she loved it. The when rest.of the evening she has been asking to see 'Mickey on her computer'. And by her computer she means mine.

[@MyHamburgerIsWet]

They've done a few, Last Half of Darkness 1,2 and 3. 2 Seperate playthroughs of Organ Trail, Wasteland, a couple Sims 2,3 and 4 Live streams and videos, Keep Talking and Nobody explodes ( which is I believe on both channels), The random DOS games video, Some mary Kate and Ashley Videos, a Christina Aguilera game and Lastly a long stream on some Casino game stream that also included LaserFrog. Which is one of my favorites as I was there during the stream. But alas I've run out of things that I've known they've done together as of May 30th 2018 at 12:47 AM

[@Kumaclaws]

The reason Pluto doesn't talk and doesn't wear clothes is because he's just really kinky and likes to be degraded. So degraded in fact that he's not even considered the same species as Goofy

[@cubey]

Well what about Figaro? Pete is a cat too. I bring up Figaro because he exists outside of the story of Pinnochio, existing along side Pluto and by extension Mickey, Goofy and Pete.

[@HeavyMetalClown056]

I may be hideously late... But this comment is pretty cursed. I love it.

[@shanewilliams9122]

"At least it's alone. The air is clean..." "There's a KIDNEY ON THE GROUND!!!" XD

[@malokegames]

This game helped me a lot as kid trying to learn english!

[@frojoe2004]

I am amazed by the quality of animation in this game. I mean watch Donalds close move independently from him and Mickeys tail. Many major AAA point and click games of that time weren't so well animated.

[@bsansovich]

Ah, LGR and PUP, the two titans of the obscure once again team up to shed light on the electronic and the interactive which is both odd and unique.

[@Arrowdodger]

If a pizza man just barged into my house like that, I would be terrified.

[@Appleboy78165]

Somehow, Mickey manages to live a life that is both super dull and super exciting at the same time

[@trevorc4413]

Not surprising that the pizza was undercooked. It arrived in under a minute. Serious lore analysis time: What time period does this take place in? The kitchen design (fridge and sink in particular) are (wild guess) from the 1920's, as is Donald's beach outfit, but Mickey still has a computer and a 1980's style boombox. (The pizza place's phone is also a really old design.)

[@TheDanishGuyReviews]

Trevor C Donald Duck has had that bathing suit in most of his cartoon shorts, from the 30's until now. Hope this helps!

[@TheBadDesperado]

Mickey lives in Calisota I believe. Also, as a backstory for this it seems that for some reason Donald has sold(or lost some other way) his car to Mickey. The red car in Mickey's garage looks the same as the one Donald has(/had), there's even Donald's old license plate hanging above the garage door (313) as Mickey has changed the plates to MKY

[@ShariVoffs]

Casually binging your videos and Mickey's life in this game gives me strong lockdown vibes.

[@vontosmagicmurderbag2611]

I'm disappointed there hasn't been a Print Shop video yet.

[@TheDanishGuyReviews]

My serious guess for the thing in the park is that it's a wad of gum. Or a very crumbled up soda can. ~ TDG

[@kulrigalestout]

Woa! OK there buddy, that's a bit much! I love pizza delivery people more than probably any other profession on this planet, but that does NOT mean you get to run into my house and put the box wherever you please!

[@athena8794]

Omg. I played the shit out of this as a kid, and for the last couple of weeks have been trying to remember the name!

[@EricTanGH0ST]

This felt more fun than many modern titles......LOL...

[@jpbier]

Oh my god, this was my first PC game ever. I was 4 or 5 then, and this brings back so many memories. I also tried looking for this game maybe like over a decade later without remembering the name and it drove me nuts. I'm so glad it's floating around on the net now. I started watching your videos yesterday btw, and you're quickly becoming one of my favorite creators :)

[@natgrant1364]

One day, Mickey woke up. Then he [stumbled] into the [bathroom.] Then he [took] a [leak.] Then, Mickey [wandered] into the [kitchen] where he had some [coffee] and [a smoke.] Then he [telephoned][his friend][Donald.] Then he took [Donald] to the [sanitarium.] And then [Donald] got a [lobotomy.]

[@HeavyMetalClown056]

I'm late and I realize that... But this got a good laugh out of me. Nice.

[@fuzzydunlop1753]

Mickey should've called the 24 hour kite store, that's my go-to place for when I wake up in the middle of the night and am like "I totally need a kite _right now_ " oh well..

Hells yeah, let's play printshop! I'm ready to fry up some garlic bread and watch 2 people I have a purely one-sided relationship with play with clip art! Woot! Let's do it!

"I'm gonna take Donald on a date. Shipping!" I mean, Mickey DID write Donald a letter about how he likes him a lot...

Oh man I played Follow The Reader soooo much as a child. Near and dear to my heart too! It's funny cause several years ago I tried to research this game, forgot the name as well, and there was so little information online for it. I believe I found your channel because of this game!

[@derogren]

Judging by the enthusiasm in the voice, LGR probably felt the same way Mickey's friends did during the recording of this...

[@lucasc.7444]

Can't you just contact whoever put up that bidding ad for the game (you were talking about at the end of the video) and ask them if they still wanna sell it?

[@ZipplyZane]

Yes, do this! They may still have it, and will put it up again if they know someone will actually bid on it!

If Bugs Bunny made you think carrots were amazing, the thing is, Mel Blanc really hated them. He couldn't come up with anything else that he thought sounded right, so he'd chew them up and spit them out. THE MOAR YOU KNOW

Gloves grant higher intelligence and self-awareness to the wearer in this universe. However, Pluto has no gloves. Hence a regular dog.

[@SeanJTharpe]

I wish Mickey would call me to come over and eat his pizza, heck yeah!!

[@sleepyhorndog6004]

Mickey probably doesn’t have a toilet because mice are incontinent.

[@ObiWanBillKenobi]

29:00 We had the Print Shop too, with a chain-fed color dot matrix ribbon printer. During our Maniac Mansion phase, I printed a sign for the basement door that said, “Do Not Enter! Nuclear Meltdown In Progress!” 💥

[@knightmarex13]

Roses desire for an elevator reminded me how much I wanted a tree house with a elevator after seeing that one world in myst

[@RafaelWingnux]

PUR and LGR!!!

[@datenegassie]

I love how because the narrator repeats the selected line after a minute of being idle, she just keeps repeating "I want to quit" at the end of the video, as if she's cursed to narrate Mickey's boring life for all of eternity and wants it to end.

[@MegtheMaggot]

this game!! it had truly the most elusive of names. was it only on DOS though? I have no memory of using command lines in my lifetime and I would have been way too young, but maybe someone helped me load it. also don't remember that park and forest area at all; definitely would have been afraid of those eyes in the dark

[@39zack]

Wooo 😀 the best let's play duo is back 😀😀

[@mitchjr77]

The difference between Goofy & Pluto is, is that Goofy wears clothes and Pluto does not. And according to Neil Degrass Tyson who asked Disney to explain what the rules are because EVEN he wanted to know, Disney said that, “If a character doesn’t wear clothes, they are a Pet. If you are a Character whom wears clothes, you are allowed to own a Pet.” There you go! Official Disney Lore! 😆

[@cvbabc]

PUR: "Maybe Donald is not a beach person?" Me: "Uhm, Donald is not a person...."

[@CassandraFortuna]

that's not a very progressive way to look at quack addiction

[@Calpsotoma]

Donald is a former Navy man. He knows how to swim for sure. In the comics, it's confirmed he has PTSD. I suspect he likes spending time with Mickey enough he politely goes with him despite being uncomfortable with it. Mickey doesn't realize it's a trigger for him.

[@TorzyTheJer]

I swear I had this game but my memory thought there was a different clock on the wall. Well, all I really remember is trying to learn how to make sure it was always Minnie that showed up to go on a date with Mickey. For some reason I was convinced that spending time with Minnie was the only correct way to play the game.

[@caitlinnothhard994]

Oh my goodness. Thank you so much for finding and playing this game. This is the first video game I have memories of playing (not counting an activity suite that was on the computer at my preschool). For YEARS I've been wondering what the name of this game was since I only had a vague recollection of what was in the game. In particular I remembered calling characters up on the phone and going into the kitchen to pack a picnic.

[@knightcrusader]

Oh wow I forgot this game existed. My uncle's IBM PS/1 came from the factory loaded with a "demo" of this game.

[@Mudkip1246]

there are different carrots ones from your own earth row are usually good, the industrial ones are usually overgrown old and bad bitter because they sell them by the weight not by the taste in my country it is possible to find not ruined carrots they are just like apples but without the core less sour and more crunchy good carrots are great when you have good carrots (and good teeth)

[@NWolfsson]

F*lip* Yeah Clue, That's A Good Idea!! =D But seriously, would love to see vids of your growing clue collection ;)

[@QunMang]

Responding to mention of Print Shop- how about Print Shop vs Beagle Bros print utilities (Triple Dump I think?) on Apple //? I remember using both growing up. EDIT: I'll just thumbs up myself. That's it, letting you know that the one thumbs up is my own.

I had a friend who did that, just wrote a single letter and changed the name based on the intended recipient. Kinda backfired when he sent the wrong letter to the wrong girl in the wrong port and they all asked who the hell the other girl was, but all's well that ends well because he ended up getting married to one of them. I'm amazed at what kind of shit attractive people can get away with, honestly.
