We Cleaned Lara Croft's House for $400 It Took Ages | Let's Play Powerwash Simulator Tomb Raider DLC

[@Angrymuscles]

More please, this is what we need in our lives these days. High-stakes, high-drama, and high water pressure. Co-op never looked so good.

[@skypaul24]

I agree!

[@miss-petrolea]

Absolutely love Jane randomly questioning "Where does the water come from?" "Where does the dirt go?" Very philosophical.

36:24 "What remains" says Jane, staring at a very green window arch. What a lovely stream. Glad you came back to this. It would make an excellent canvas for a Pikachu.

[@callumdonington2227]

For someone with a degree in astro physics... She sure can be kind of unobservant. It's honestly endearing.

[@Mulbert]

They already did Pikachu drawing on the van at the start (I think in the Oxtra Xmas competition 2021?)

[@VonBlade]

@@Mulbert I know, but the van was tiny. Also, whilst I appreciate the why, last years adjustment to the Xmas Challenges led to us not having Luke v Ellen drawing at the end, and that's too much change for me to handle.

@@callumdonington2227 I consider her to be the archetypal absent-minded scientist. She misses stuff ALL the time, and it's adorable. Then she shows how whip-smart she is in some other video and reminds us she is The Oxbox Science Person for a reason.

In the way of being underpaid...no one seemed to notice they were being paid in dollars while this Croft Manor is presumably in Britain. My...how the rich find ways to stay rich. 😄 Wonderful vid. Thank you. Much love from Albuquerque, NM😊

[@ferd617]

Indeed, $400 US is only £332 (or €373), so they're REALLY getting lowballed.

[@Anastas1786]

"Where does the dirt go?" Like all great British country houses, Croft Manor was built with a highly sophisticated underground drainage system: Dirty cleaning water soaks into the ground and is collected into vats in the basement, where it sits, allowing much of the larger filth particles to precipitate to the bottom. The liquid is drained off to make soup for the servants on Christmas and St. George's Day; the solids are dried completely and then sold to the local workhouses to fortify the food.

[@hannarchy6554]

I mean most of it seems to be mold and general filth, old and crusty, crawling on the things that have stayed in place for decades or centuries and depending on them staying that way. So I figured that they just collected them and made them into human shapes and sent them out to become MPs.

The conversations people have while power washing are some of the most entertaining I’ve heard

This game has been such a godsend whenever I'm stressed and too overwhelmed to play something more demanding. It's delightful to see it getting the attention it deserves.

[@KuueenKumi]

Right? House Flipper is another good one for chilling, I might add

I downloaded it as soon as it came out! I've done the whole thing (Mansion, Fountain, Maze, Assault Course, Quad Bike, Motor Boat, Jeep & Treasure Room, - and I loved it. Best Part - cleaning the Treasure Room! She doesn't pay you much for doing it though!) 🤣

[@mooniejohnson]

My favorite quote... "I could... powerwash the face of god." Thank you, Jane, for sending me into random fits of laughter.

[@KOU-ZAI]

I'd go with Winston being locked in the freezer being the main cause as to why this manor's in such a state.

[@LaughingNinja]

I'm surprised they didn't show it, but Winston says he is in a predicament and will get tea for the Power Washer when he gets out of it. Later Lara messages and ask if Winston got out of the freezer yet. It is great.

[@SpoonOfDoom]

I would have loved to be in the meeting where some (presumably not sober) marketing people decided "Yes, a Powerwash Simulator/Tomb Raider crossover is exactly what we need! Do it immediately!"

This is so relaxing and oddly satisfying to watch. I haven't tried these kind of sim games before but I might have to pick a couple of them up because watching them has helped me relax a lot over the past couple of weeks.

[@SolaScientia]

I'm tempted to get it as well. Right now Unpacking is my go-to game for relaxing and zoning out for a bit.

[@madalice5134]

@@SolaScientia I've been thinking about getting Unpacking. I loved watching Jane play it and it seems like the kind of slow down and chill game that I could use right now. 🙂

[@SolaScientia]

@@madalice5134 I love it so much. I kid you not when I say I've played it 30-40 times. Yes, it's the same thing each time, but the repetition is soothing. I'm not creative with names, so after naming the first few albums (save files) creatively, I went with the alphabet and just finished my 26th run. I love seeing the character's life change with each year and seeing what stays with her and what is missing with each move. I paid full price for it and it was well worth it to me. Tonight I couldn't decide if I want to brave Dark Souls 3 (specifically the Painted World of Ariandel DLC) or work on clearing the rest of the Research Hall in the Bloodborne DLC. I opted to finish up a run of Unpacking instead. When I want something to do but am not really in the mood for more focused gaming, it's the game I go for. Spiritfarer is another chill game, but with a more developed story, and be prepared for a lot of emotions as things develop. Very few games make me cry, but that one sure did more than once. The platforming does require more focus, particularly with later sections and if you're trying to 100% complete it, but it doesn't require extreme concentration and there's no real punishment if you fail certain parts. You can retry immediately and there's no dying (well, not in the since of deaths in video games).

[@jordanbooth4470]

Cannot stress just how satisfying this video was

[@holliswilliams8426]

I'm also imagining the look of bafflement on child version me's face when told in the future you'll be able to play as the cleaning squad working on the mansion.

[@JohnWalterEdwardCremin]

Do a playlist of just you guys doing all the levels of this game please. I swear on all that is holy that I will watch each one literally thousands of times.

[@MsKornkitty]

This is genuinely one of last year's best games. The only game I played more of was Elden Ring. Perfect to chill out with. I'm happy to see more of it on the channel. :)

[@GriffinWolf]

22:00 FYI, as someone who has a power washer, the water goes onto anything in the vicinity; the hose, the area you cleaned a few minutes ago, you. Mostly you, actually. Wear gumboots/wellies and old clothes. It also takes a ridiculously long time to clean even the smallest area - it might be easier if mine had a supernozzle like the ones you have in the game, but mostly it's like cleaning a floor-to-ceiling mirror with a cotton bud. But a *magic* cotton bud.

[@stormy7745]

These power-washing sim episodes are always so chill. More, please! 💙

[@JervisGermane]

7:55 I'm now imagining the pendulum swinging the other way and a future Tomb Raider where Lara Croft has to defeat villainous pressure washers who have broken into her home and stolen her stuff.

[@nathanglasser6845]

I started that map, haven't finished yet. $400 for that is criminally tightwad!

[@candybeans]

I know there's flavor text to introduce these missions, and my explanation is totally wrong, but maybe we went back in time and it's 400 1890 dollars. To clean up before Lord Croft's ancestor took ownership of the home. That's my new TR/PWS canon.

[@nathanglasser6845]

@@candybeans I still lean towards the Croft estate being tightwad, but time travel and being paid in 1890 dollars is an acceptable alternative!

I think this is now my favorite OXBOX video EVER.

[@Patrick-Phelan]

At 25:45, they have just discussed having a side-hustle in earwax cleaning. I can attest, having had earwax build up in my ears to the point that it was badly affecting my hearing, that the medical professionals in charge do indeed seem to apply multiple litres of water to each ear in order to clean them. And then I heard extremely well, so, you know, I'd pay at least... Croft Manor cost $400, my ear is about a thousand times smaller than Croft Manor, so, yes, I would give a whole forty cents.

[@Bawjee22]

Nice you guys cleaned Lara's house for her Birthday

[@Icam_here]

would love to see more of the 3 working though the lara croft themed level, the next level could be fun to see at the very least. like how you see all the different aspects of cleaning, start out with the intention to clean everything, then write something around the place, fall of high spots many time, try to move other people around with your power washer, struggle to find the last bits of dirt.

[@niloofarrafatpanah2]

Mike is a father so of course he loves washing simulators ( or dad games as yahtzee puts it)

[@Tyr_Magnus]

From now on I refer to hazard pay as "danger money". 😁

[@kristianfischer9814]

I maintain that Powerwash Simulator takes place in Purgatory. You never see other people, everything is covered in hellish mold and all you can do is clean and clean and clean.

[@zerin25]

I too was outraged by how little Lara Croft pays her workers

[@jekebe4858]

This DLC was fun, though really have to wonder whether the mess was caused by some eldritch horror that Lara unleashed on one of her adventures. Garden maze, obstacle course, and treasure room, each one brought a smile from sheer nostalgia. Then had to laugh at some of the comments that both she and Winston make as you progress. Of course he ends up trapped at the start and has to escape. Then there was a moment where she mentions developing a technique of dodging at corners to stalk a powerwasher that was so sudden it had me checking all the nearby corners for a hint of her.

[@NGMonocrom]

Ironically, there is a surprisingly successful KZbin channel dedicated to Power-washing.

[@johnfire8799]

hope they do more of these so chill and fun listening to there happy banter also Like spike :)

[@zerin25]

Please do the treasure room! Or get Ellen and Luke to do it, so Ellen can be excited about all the game references, and Luke can clean a T-rex (aka the dream)

[@YukimareThePsion]

Just from the few seconds of the video, this looks like a alternate ending to the second OG Tomb Raider where rather then a hit squad sent to assassinate Lara for the Dragon Dagger... The villain's friends instead send a army of vandals to be petty and egg the entire mansion, forcing Lara to clean it up.
