Let's Play Police Quest VGA (2/3)

The epic career path of Sonny Bonds continues as he gets promoted to the Narcotics division and successfully rids the world of all the bad drugs for the kids.

[@Gnomelord0]

Maranda was the person who first sued for not being properly read his rights. Won the case, and they were made mandatory. Was let out of prison, got arrested a few years later, and....got read his rights.

[@Thatguy7242]

Poetic... You know what, every once in a while I get confused when Poetic justice is used. Is this the right context?

[@DKC_Returns]

Thatguy7242 Somewhat. It'd be more like if a mugger made a lot of money on a long night of mugging, and then on the way home, he was mugged for all of it.

[@Thatguy7242]

Charles Miller That cleared it up, thanks!

[@UnicornsNeedLove2]

Miranda

[@Salmonfax]

He didn't get rearrested, he got a retrial, where the prosecution used witness testimony instead of the now inadmissible confession. They found him guilty of kidnapping and rape the second time too.

[@greenredblue]

"What the fuck grows in California?" Literally the leading agricultural producer in the United States. By a lot.

[@rockduded8925]

Oranges for one.

[@MB-hq3rv]

Yahtzee: Anything you can do, I can do better! Gabe: I don't care. Yahtzee: Yes I can! Gabe: I don't care. Yahtzee: Yes I can!

[@andrewhickinbottom1051]

57:51 "someone turned off the electric fence on the Berts" made me laugh far more than it should. Gabriel is an Australian national treasure. Hope he's doing good these days!

[@jaredmulconry]

He's got stuff happening. He's very active on Twitter and you can find him make appearances on the Keep 'et Classy KZbin channel. He also writes a bunch for their accompanying website.

[@davidhill2020]

35:40 A joke inspired by this comes up in the fight between Knives and Ramona the Scott Pilgrim vs The World graphic novel. My jaw hit the floor when I read it. I think dialogue was "You grazed me!" "How appropriate. You fight like a cow."

[@jesselindsey9760]

13:30 I know that feeling exactly while I played through each of the FNAF games. "Oh, a scary pop-up animal going "Boo!" for when I don't press a button fast enough, just like every game of this series I've played for the past 4 years."

[@bellboy64]

Huh. During the chicken prank at 1:53 I can hear the Astro Chicken theme from Space Quest 3!

[@rsukut5866]

"Hahahaha, ya fuckin' dickhead." This is precisely the content I returned for after all these years. 😂

[@klimpomp]

I love the way that after Gabe mentions taking a couple bumps from evidence he continues to do his 'super hyped ready to fuckin do police work' cocaine growls under his breath while yahtzee talks XD

[@pgwchaos]

Miranda rights come from the US Supreme Court case Miranda v. Arizona. Where the Supreme Court found that Miranda's Fifth and Sixth Amendment rights were violated; however police do not have to read the Miranda rights during arrest it is needed to be read before any questions are asked (sometimes they wait to get them into an interrogation room so they can get it on video that the Miranda rights were read) (probably more information about the American Legal system you probably care about) Also Sonny Bonds does show up in Police Quest SWAT 2, and SWAT 4 I think he was the SWAT leader

[@thewittyusername]

California grows pretty much everything... Rice, olives, grapes, avocado, most kinds of citrus, almonds, this list goes on. Northern California looks more like the Pacific Northwest, which is also a major producer of agriculture. The deserty bits are further inland

[@warboss5]

Don't forget the barren concrete hellscape that is Los Angeles county, all that grows there is the cost of living.

[@thexninja666]

warboss5 And hipsters.

[@katanamaker]

Patrik Tripes San Francisco is that way.

[@tisFrancesfault]

Tbf not for long the way Cali is using the last drops of water left.

[@RingshadowCat]

tisFrancesfault No kidding. They've seriously drained their reservoirs and farming is most of the water use.

[@Smilley85]

1:04:35 The steering resets to "straight" everytime you pass a block, even if you can't take a turn. It's only a problem on those 2-tile buildings like the jail and the parks. Unfortunately the exit to the jail is right after the (missing) intersection. I ran into that, too. It's like the cavefish hideout in Full Throttle, being placed right after a highway exit. Hmm, Full Throttle. There's a game you could LP. And with ScummVM, you don't even have to worry about DOSBox.

[@OptimusGamer1981]

That Normality playthrough was how I found this channel, didn't even know about Zero Punctuation at the time. Now I'm a huge fan of Yahtzee, and Gabe seems cool too.

[@ericsebena1734]

17:02 - That was SIGNIFICANTLY more impressive than any Zero Punctuation. Holy fucking balls! I knew Yahtzee was impressive enough not to have to speed up his audio or any bullshit but I had no idea he could do that shit off of just reading something he hadn't written/rehearsed, let alone something he's never even seen before. *applause*

[@gagedech674]

I definitely didn't need to think about naked Croshaw star jumps, nor the naked Croshaw sleepy times. Thanks guys, I'm never drinking and watching these videos at the same time again.

[@Marblez3]

Great, thanks Gabe. Now I have to go bingewatch Round the Twist which I haven't seen in 16 years.

[@TOXICTUNA64]

When the chicken is on the desk the music is the same that played during astro chicken (or whatever that arcade was) from space quest III

[@SoulKingu]

So who else wanted, when Yahtzee started a sentence with, "I just wanted" wanted him to finish with, "TO GO TO SPAAAACE"

[@BruceWayne-gv9zs]

So is yahtzee going to get increasingly wasted as the next episode continues

[@Haagaustin]

fingers crossed

[@KiraZeroYamato]

***** That's why he's been able to keep two linked prominent figures around for so long. Crafty bugger.

[@GANJAxxTHExxCURE]

***** its the perfect cover. who would think that the batman is a dog? almost contradictory that.

[@llirik360]

they're called Miranda rights because they're named after the court case that proved they should exist. The more you know.

[@thu4167]

We should get a game called Police: Isolation, where you play as the "Gremlin" as you run around the "station" hiding in cabinets and trying to get to your next objective without getting spotted and play a HI-LARIOUS prank. It ends where you discover there are eggs in the basement that hatch police officers and have to escape. It's a comedy horror game. Anyone want to take me up on it? EHH? EHHHHH?

[@FlakiCiociGosi]

EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH?

[@adrianshephard6321]

EEHHHH...

[@Krebons1200]

a horror game with isolation as its subtitle. where have I heard of that before?

[@Kris-wo4pj]

Idk about a game but i want yahtzee to write this as a book.

[@ladamedesaraignees1764]

"You better not have done this Bonds!" I have been trapped in my car For hours

[@alexwick3867]

Oh god, the chicken music is the same as the music in Astro Chicken

[@origrammar]

I’m amazed there’s only one other comment about this.

[@jesselindsey9760]

49:30 Sometimes I worry that these two hate each other. But then I listen to them giggle and tease each other and trade barbs and I realize that's not the case at all.

[@FreezeDriedGirolles]

Today I learned that Yahtzee is the guy that does ALL of the terms and conditions bits at the end of radio adverts.

[@16Ezalb]

I burst out laughing when Yahtzee wondered whether Sean Hughes is still on Buzzcocks... simply because he left the show in 2002

[@GalanDun]

Lol, thirteen years ago :P

[@JFJD]

Well, never mind them, then.

[@inamadworld]

I can't wait to see more LP and LDO, honestly it's my favorite consistent thing to watch on youtube.

[@blackrose2592]

"Wtf grows in California besides lunatics" dear god I laughed harder at that than I probably should have.

[@johnsmith5669]

52:05 That's my cue! Vice essentially describes crimes which deal with moral offences, i.e. offenses against our pre-ordained moral code or things that usually attract seedier. This can be anything from prostitution to illegal substances (drugs or alcohol, or if you live in New York a large soda, and "ungodly" sexuality (adultery, sodomy, polygamy, etc.) It's not just that though; there's a nation in Africa where it was once illegal to fart and there's a state in America where you can serve jail-time for picking flowers.

[@canidsong]

When Gabe said singlet I pictured it as my HS wrestling singlet complete with mouth guard and headgear and now I have amuse.

[@SAMagic]

"Highland toffee - you'll swing for this!" Goddamn it you're goddamn awesome Yahtzee. I laughed.

[@secretchickenparty]

So, does Yahtzee have an American girlfriend? You'd never know because he never ever brings it up... no... certainly not. Out of the question.

[@luske2]

Never ever ever! Seriously though, he REALLY likes to bring her up and be very clear about her being american...

[@fallenhope1]

In a previous Drown Out Gabe was ripping on yahtzee syaing "oh by the way he has a girlfriend now! yay!" the way he says it now dont know anymore? But yea he did / does

[@OdaSwifteye]

Yep! She has one. I've talked to her! Well she said it was her I think she deleted the comments to remove her trail and I let her get away with it because I know how that whole stalking fan thing can get annoying for random associates. It started with a Z? I don't sound credible at all but ya! She was mentioned in the Oregon Trail episode.

[@Kingy9000]

He only said American to identify her nationality and why it was weird for her to hear flys, it would be weird without context but there is, we needed to know her nationality

[@seamuslight2472]

Yahtzee is fixated on Americans. He dislikes them, casting them as hillbillies and imbeciles whenever they come up, but he also wants to fuck Americans, and is paid by an American company to play videogames for a living. So he does have some issues to work through.

[@fferro234]

Yahtzee realizing how much time was left in the video at around the 3 minute mark would of been the best way to end part ones video. Missed opportunity!

[@Null_Experis]

>What the fuck grows in California? Raisins. 81,700 farms in California. All dedicated to the voracious grape and raisin appetites of the world.

[@MaxUltimata]

DNSDies To say nothing of Napa Valley, which is known for their wineries. Can't make wine without grapes.

[@frederickluebker1240]

After Gabe said "Shit, shower and a shave." I immediately sang it to the Tune of "Slip Sliding Away" by Paul Simon. Shit shower and a shave Shit shower and a sha-a-ave In the morning when I'm leaving I have a shit, shower and a shave

[@Based_Papa]

17:03 THIS!

[@jcsturgeon]

They're called Miranda Rights because of a landmark Supreme Court decision called Miranda v. Arizona (1966) where it was determined that it was the responsibility of the police to advise suspects of their rights. If they fail to, any information obtained during the interview is rendered inadmissible in court.

[@curtinparloe]

I've been playing this game for the first time, and watched this for the code entered at 35:50. 11876? Where the hell did that come from? I couldn't find it in any of the documentation and couldn't get past this point without it. I forgot how terrible Sierra was.

[@jmf3962]

The origin of the red and white barber pole is associated with the service of bloodletting and was historically a representation of bloody bandages wrapped around a pole. During medieval times, barbers performed surgery on customers, as well as tooth extractions. The original pole had a brass wash basin at the top (representing the vessel in which leeches were kept) and bottom (representing the basin that received the blood). The pole itself represents the staff that the patient gripped during the procedure to encourage blood flow. Thanks Wikipedia.

[@kemonoautumnfall6331]

Gabe's jokes in monotone is always hilarious. XD The skin tone joke was brilliant.

[@hibarikyoyacloud]

I don't know why but I feel like the image at around 10:00 was from terminator or commando or something with Arnold in it.

[@BelatedGamer]

I think it's Alien Resurrection.

[@guilhermesfk]

BelatedGamer No it's not. That movie does not exist.

[@BelatedGamer]

Guilherme Sabino It's from the trailer that was leaked before the movie was canned. A shame too, Ron Perleman was in it so it had to have been good.

[@guilhermesfk]

BelatedGamer Ron Pearman is awesome. Alien Resurection DOES NOT EXIST

[@LordMcdaddy]

Guilherme Sabino what planet do you live on Alien resurection is a film

[@huwguyver4208]

29:50 in Lytton not only do big nasty criminals keep diaries of their crimes, but contract killers also have actual written contracts signed by the killer, the client and an independent witness.

[@pablorodriguezcabrera6231]

46:46 "The Spice must flow."

[@drdogface3]

Please bring back drown outs

[@alexanderwall1303]

I understand this is prerecorded, but if you guys (Gabe) are going to host a Let's Play of an adventure game, I'd really appreciate it if you could not skip through dialogue at light speed to the point where I need to watch the same part 3 times in order to pause the video at the right time to read it. I am referencing the "Drug Deal" at the 59:56 mark in particular. If it is a second time viewing the same scene I can understand skipping through dialogue, but it was the first time the drug deal was shown, so it through me off. It's a minor annoyance and it's infrequent, but I thought I would share my opinion.

[@costlyblood1927]

You guys should do Beneath A Steel Sky, this obscure blade runner-esque sci fi point/click from the creators of Broken Sword.

[@Angrysneezes]

Ernie: Hey Bane, what would happen if I took off your mask? Bane: Well Ernie, it would be very painful... For you. This is proving to be a very surreal situation.

[@maxayson9386]

This is awesome as dip in dip out background banter, can't wait for the inevitably unthrilling conclusion next week.

[@Calculon1712]

Hearing Yathzee talk about Sean Hughes im guessing he knows by now he passed away in 2017 from Cirrhosis

[@TheomanZero]

Also, "star jumps"? Is that what they call jumping jacks in Australia?

[@markayres6913]

Why do I watch this every week?

[@lunethspark]

because its cool

[@silver4831]

Its been getting progressively worse in my opinion. I feel a lot of the episodes blend together. It was only funny to hear Yahtzee correct Gabe the first couple of times, and then hear him go on about social Justice. But most weeks..?

[@lunethspark]

Alexae B that is just opinion like the simpsons

[@spiderjerusalem100]

For the same reason i do, because you're geeky for old pc games and you enjoy listening to Let's player's who aren't overly pretentious and obnoxious like most Let's player's on KZbin?

[@Blahsheep]

I haven't watched one of these in months. I used to watch a few... but they got old so fast. I clicked on this one because it said "Police." I'm like, "What's that?!"

[@infinitelibrarypod]

this series is the most Drown Out of the entire run

[@thewittyusername]

Being subbed to someone in Australia is pretty handy when you're off work at 4am and bored on the US west coast

[@RoninOneZero]

I will doubt Yathzee's speed no more.

[@Sodaholic6502]

It's really weird how the characters' skin tone changes every time they do something that isn't standing or walking. I bet that it was all one tone throughout development and they randomly decided to lighten it at the last minute, but were lazy about it and only changed the most frequently seen animations.

[@OdaSwifteye]

That probably explains the lack of "diversity" for all the characters although if it's supposed to take place in Midwest America that's actually pretty accurate.

[@jesselindsey9760]

"Aw, shit, are you telling me you want this character to be black? Ugh, now I have to go over each face sprite and in MS PAINT and make sure the colours match.... fuck it. Just fuck it. I'm not going to all this effort for a REMAKE of a police simulator that's more anal-retentive about the rules than actual police officers are."

[@magicaljellyfish]

Definitely going to miss the drown outs. I like these alright, but the drown outs were pretty dynamic in what they talked about from week to week. Understandably they tried to avoid certain news pieces, and the viewer questions mostly lead to arguments, but the news topics were always interesting to hear them talk about, since they're fairly level headed. I am definitely one of the people who used them as one of their weekly podcasts. I actually listened to this through dark souls 2. Ehhh... I guess it's rude to complain about someone else's creative decisions. At least you're making videos still.

[@JakobVestergaardKhain]

Gabe going "peeeek" just makes me giggle :D

[@Contra7311]

9:35 alien resurrection director's cut 1997

[@AdamTheHedgehog]

There's nothing wrong with sleeping naked, Yahtzee I've heard it's better for your body because it helps your body adjust to temperatures and some such, as well as getting your body used to the bed. I admit, I also sleep naked. It just feels so much better.

[@stephen19590]

I sleep fully clothed, CAUSE IM A REBEL

[@CplYakob]

Choking to death on laughter at the Space Queen bit!

[@DJchestr]

Sean Connery did great job playing Bane in The dark Knight Rises 💯

[@Mechsrule1]

I just noticed this, but the tune when the chicken is playing around sounds very similar to the Astro Chicken music from Space Quest 3.

[@ShamanG0M00]

Keep in mind at 24:30 they pulled they car over in between the park and the baseball field, and you look at the background that was given...

[@Requiexat]

They're called 'Miranda RIghts' because of the Supreme Court case 'Miranda v. Arizona'.

[@MagnesiumSodium]

That barbershop doing all sharp metal jobs thing was the reason why in Egypt in the old days (until the 30s or 40s maybe) barbers used to circumcise little boys.

[@Sir_Kibble]

i learned to read from the pokemon games,so,i'll go curl up in a corner and realise how destined for nerd-dom i was from the start.

[@Wandergirl108]

Back in my fangirl days, I had a project where I transcribed all of the things Yahtzee said that I thought were good points that people needed to hear…I was going to go through every single video and type down quotes. And then I gave up. And then I stopped being Yahtzee's fangirl. :P I sleep naked because tossing and turning is super-unpleasant when you have to deal with the friction of pajamas-on-sheets. You can't turn over under the covers if you're wearing something. I mean, I have to wear underwear, so…stuff doesn't…leak, but I don't get what the point of pajamas even is. >.>

[@Trusseck]

*sits down and lights a cigarette* Go on.

[@Wandergirl108]

***** No, that's all. :)

[@Trusseck]

Wandergirl108 Blast.

[@somedude3413]

***** nah man cigarettes fuck with you

[@Trusseck]

ben pu Yeah, but they're great mood-setters.

[@shuichiboy]

I just can't get over the fact that the police cars are at least 15 years older than the game, yet all the other cars are contemporary to the game. *Edit: Okay, now he's driving a contemporary Ford T-Bird.

[@davidhill2020]

30:45 I know that you can gather evidence from what you see (i.e. If you see a bag of pot in the front seat, you can take that as evidence and charge for possession), but I'm pretty sure you'd need a warrant to search his trunk and glove compartments.

[@SeanGilbertson]

The Salinas Valley in California is some of the most fertile farmland in the world. They have to build up instead of out so as to not build on top of valuable farmland.

[@alistairpage-mcgill2723]

Every time Gabriel mentions a book he's reading I'm either reading it or read it in the last few months, I'm getting a bit freaked out

[@RingshadowCat]

23:00 As someone who works in nuclear power, OI, that's a coal plant or gas plant. Any steam plant can have parabolic cooling towers, and as there are no containments pictured, that is a fossil plant. Just saying!

[@paperidolon]

I swear the background music when the chicken is rampaging is shared with some other Sierra game they've covered.

[@Vic2point0]

No no, best all-time comeback was "Your brain has a... shell on it".

[@sgtStones]

the chicken from the prank in the beginning....thats the music and the chicken from the minigame in space quest III...the one in the space diner. my life is now complete

[@Doyoufearthereaper13]

I wasn't going to comment but they went on for so long with the nuclear power plant thing that I couldn't stand it. Nuclear power is actually pretty safe with modern technology. I know it was a joke but the only reason it makes as a joke is because the assumption is that nuclear power isn't safe. Watch Pandora's Promise, it explains everything quite clearly. You can find it on Netflix and stop treating the most practical form of alternative energy we have like its a joke.

[@TacComControl]

The name you're looking for, Croshaw, is "Guppies". "Gay Urban Professionals". And you can thank Berkeley Breathed for that one.

[@jigsaw6954]

Come join the Gay marriage and free weed party the most hardcore right wing party in Australia!

[@MercurialStatic]

I'm pretty sure I've developed an auditory addiction to Yahtzee's voice.

[@ajardoor]

17:12 - He's like Bedman from the latest Guilty Gear game!

[@FunkyHonkyCDXX]

Another 2 songs that fit shockingly well, the words of "O Little Town of Bethlehem" sung to the tune of "House of the Rising Sun"

[@Bitscreed]

The UK definitely imported "Small Wonder." I remember watching an episode or two.

[@chrispychickin]

Its pretty funny to hear gabe learned to read with footrot flats and garfield books... pretty much the same way as I did!

[@jamehw666]

FIRST Good stuff you're back on to your usual schedule guys!

[@EmilyDNelson]

Aidan Gillen (actor who plays Littlefinger) is awesome, and I support more references to him in Let's Play/Let's Drown Out. "Bane and Ernie" is the most I have cracked up on this channel in a looong time.

[@TacoKhan]

The vice section in La Noire was nothing but dealing with a morphine hiest and distrabution.

[@Will.P.Wareing]

Yahtzee needs to drink out of a Yahtzee cup.

[@Hellnagel82]

I would like to see you playing the other Leisure Suit Larry games or some more fmv like Zork Grand Inquisitor and Gabriel Knight 2.

[@ATFADL]

52:30 , so were just going to let that Jerked wood line go with out a joke

[@CubedGamersRobin]

Shout out to Space Quest III's Astro Chicken with the music in the chicken scene.

[@ThePublicDominion]

It could be a shout out, but that song is called the Chicken Reel, and it's a very common bit of music to incorporate into anything involving chickens. I think you can hear it in pretty much every Looney Tunes short that ever had chickens in it.

[@TheomanZero]

The Miranda rights were named after Ernesto Miranda, who the police tricked into signing a confession without telling him he could have a lawyer. This led to a Supreme Court case about police informing suspects of their rights. (Miranda was later convicted using witness testimony.)

[@benjamincarrillo6810]

Oh my god, the police man with the glasses looks just like Clint from LGR!

[@LiquidShamanMan]

38:44 "WHOOOOS SEEEAAN HUUUUUGHESS?"

[@After4th]

You didn't talk to the chicken.

[@Auldous]

I think the guy at 1:00:09 looked more like John Stamos with a mullet then Joseph Gordan Levitt with a mullet.

[@groovyguy0069]

"Sonny has an owie!"

[@charcharmunr]

Quest For Glory 3, maybe is when the plot starts right off?

[@whatever_it_takes6691]

I love the shower scenes

[@LeRuse817]

I'd like to see the cop from chulip modded into this game, and Sonny Bonds modded into Chulip.

[@mortaroman]

"I love that scene" and after that, /tv/ was never the same again...
