never pass by a box, never sell parts of the car until you have a replacement part, never spend 25 moneys on a crowbar then leave it behind.... other than that, good job.
You need money for a room, what do you do? A: sell the useless stuff in your trunk. B: pick up litter to sell C: sell the air filter and water tank in a car and then drive it until it explodes Or D: dont waste money on fucking coffee and a car decal
Some advice for you comrade nerd, if you do run out of gas, or break down. you can stand outside of the car with the door open, and hold the mouse button down on the wheel to push the car.
How do you double the value the price of a trabant? Fill it with gas. Ok gotta watch the mad lads of Garage 54, who make lada weels out of coke bottles, wooden pistons...
Jon is such an expert and the repair and maintenance of cars that vehicles he touches will breakdown immediately for the shear pleasure of having him fix them again.
Jon: *Notices the game mechanic of different prices in different locations* Also Jon: *See that sausage sells for pennies and sells them anyway* Also Also Jon: "Now I have to sell everything I own to stay alive :(" Never change Jon
Jon: I need to not keep the lights on *keeps the lights on* Jon: I kept the lights on even though i shouldn't have *still keeps the lights on* Jon: New plan: let's steal all the boxes *proceeds to steal boxes* Jon: We don't need boxes, we're flush with cash *can't afford the motel*
For some reason I like that the Czechoslovac federated republic uses the Czech acronym with the letter Č and the Czech script Pravda vítězí (truth wins or perhaps truth endures is a bit more elegant translation). It might be that I am Czech and therefore glad that the developers didn't just fill my country with English non of the locals would understent since everyone had to learn Russian just a few years prior but looking at the border checkpoint makes me somewhat giddy. Also all of the goods have appropriate language on them in general. Good job whoever made the game.
Here we go again. Edit: This is basically a thief simulator, and actually looks like a peacful game to play! This would be a nice chill Livestream Jon!
Jon! if she had a shortage of medicine and a surplus of something else - trade what she needs for what she has, then trade that to someone else who needs it, and so on! it's called "the great material continuum!", she is a treacherous river, but those who navigate it successfully are rewarded!
About 1:30 in and Jon explaining car parts makes me face palm and imagine Claire going "Oh Jon..." in a really exasperated voice. Also your uncle's jacket reminds me of Stan's jacket from the Secret of Monkey Island.
Watching Jon stop and back up in an Autobahn tunnel to check out the emergency escape door made me very nervous. And those things on the tunnel roof are ventilators. And the medicine cost twice as much as the repair kit. ouch.
Hasn't Jon already played an earlier version of this game a couple of years ago? I remember him walking an absurdly long distance because the car broke down on the highway.
The battery operates the starter motor, am electric motor that activates the motor until the combustion of fuel inside is stable enough to sustain it... There's an electric motor that spins the engine for a little while when you start it... Chain saws and mowers, you spin the motor by pulling on a wound cord... Funny that there's an electric motor capable of making the gas motor work in every single car, but there is...
0:43 Does anyone know the name of the anime that used this as a animation style? I feel like Jon might find it interesting. 2:35 This is actually one of the mechanics behind biofuel interestingly enough; they just use plant oil and alchohol instead.
I doubt thre was a single roundabout in eastern Germany in 1990. 1/10 for historical accuracy. What i love is "outershop". A "chain" of shops in east germany where you could buy western products for western money was called "Intershop".
The game is set in Germany, so of course you drive on the right and the "mystery door" usually is an emergancy exit in real life if there is a fire in the tunnel so that... you know... you don't die.
The saddest thing about this video is that the annoy-the-customers tactic should actually work if you do it on the right room. He thinks you're the owner and slips you the money for the night under the door
OMG IM AO HAPPY YOUR PLAYING THIS I LOVE THIS GAME BUT, it's super late for me I cant watch atm I'll watch in the morning still putting a like Ya know what screw it I'm watching
*Finishes an episode of Hot Rod Garage* Alright, that's all I want to watch on MTOD today, what's going on on youtube? *Jon plays Jalopy* Oh ima need popcorn for this xD
Jon and cars?
God help us all..
I feel like this is a fair reaction.
@@ManyATrueNerd Quill18 played a game about building cars recently. A sorta spreadsheet management game thats your sorta thing.
Well, God help all of eastern Europe anyway, especially being as he spent most of the game driving on the wrong side of the road...
Its like Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May merged into the perfect idiot
We all remember my summer car
Jon: *complains about not being able to see through the windshield*
*cleans the car from mud, leaves the windshield dirty*
1:35 Jesus Jon slow down. Not all of us have degrees in engineering
never pass by a box, never sell parts of the car until you have a replacement part, never spend 25 moneys on a crowbar then leave it behind.... other than that, good job.
It seems that leaving things behind after buying them is a common theme with Jalopy letsplays.
The explanations on how cars work are legitimately my favorite thing jon has ever done.
OH NO. Still, at least Jon doesn't have to drive around the one-way monstrosity he made in Cities: Skylines...
I hope Jon tries playing Automation sometime. His "advanced" knowledge of cars seems suited to a game about making cars.
Oil covered batteries everywhere.....
He did play it already though
Flumpeta flumpeta flumpeta!
Seeing Jon sell engine parts instead of literally anything else, skip boxes, and edit out 100% of the story was amazingly, painfully, Jon.
"roads in Hungary are not so great actually"
"the hotel is a rip-off too"
Man, this game is so real :D
True that
"water is bad for fire" - the logic is FLAWLESS
So does that mean, oil is bad for water?
"I know my science" Jon MATN
*turns on hazards* "no don't want the hazards" *proceeds to do something that hazards should be on for*
You need money for a room, what do you do?
A: sell the useless stuff in your trunk.
B: pick up litter to sell
C: sell the air filter and water tank in a car and then drive it until it explodes
Or D: dont waste money on fucking coffee and a car decal
My friends loves cars, and I sent him this video. He responded after watching "this caused me physical pain"
Some advice for you comrade nerd, if you do run out of gas, or break down. you can stand outside of the car with the door open, and hold the mouse button down on the wheel to push the car.
How do you double the value the price of a trabant? Fill it with gas. Ok gotta watch the mad lads of Garage 54, who make lada weels out of coke bottles, wooden pistons...
"we're gonna have to build an engine"
Eye twitching intensifies. Books further appointments for more PTSD treatment
I think you mean, our soviet car.
Jon explaining how a car works makes my heart hurt.
Sturm
Agreed. Also, do I spy an SS re-enactor?
Herr Sturm.
Nothing hurts more than Jon thinking he's right, when really he's wrong. And this: "I was never too intimate with her hole"
The most unrealistic aspect of this game is freely traveling through Eastern Europe in the early 90s.
Well at least its heading away from east germany toward the soviet heartland so less restrictive
Jon is such an expert and the repair and maintenance of cars that vehicles he touches will breakdown immediately for the shear pleasure of having him fix them again.
Oh, and my uncle's a mechanic. He says 'Flumpita flumpita flumpita" is the technical term, so you're all good there.
30:52 "open the hood"? Did Jon forget he's from the UK? It's a bonnet.
Jon: *Notices the game mechanic of different prices in different locations*
Also Jon: *See that sausage sells for pennies and sells them anyway*
Also Also Jon: "Now I have to sell everything I own to stay alive :("
Never change Jon
brilliant deduction!!!
fire need oxygen. no work in the space and stuff. water bad fire, firefighter use water for fire.
science!!!!!
Jon's logic reasoning monologues through this had me laughing until my stomach hurt.
That feeling when you hear the words "Im a genius at..." from jon D:
I’ve watched multiple people play this game and you Jon messed it up the most. Hilarious as heck though
Jon: I need to not keep the lights on
*keeps the lights on*
Jon: I kept the lights on even though i shouldn't have
*still keeps the lights on*
Jon: New plan: let's steal all the boxes
*proceeds to steal boxes*
Jon: We don't need boxes, we're flush with cash
*can't afford the motel*
There is no one else who I would trust more with a car and it’s upkeep
You know, it makes sense that a world where people buy trash for money would have a lot less trash in it
4:00 "Mist Öl" is german and means something like "Damn Oil".
Laika is, of course, the name of the famous cosmonaut dog.
Jon: buys expensive medicine and coffee
Jon :has no money
Jon: let’s sell of the engine and jack to me car
"Jalopy" is extremely common in American English.
Oh my goodness... The incompetence is sublime
The most hilarious Car from East Germany : Trabant 601
And thus not a Soviet car, but an East German one.
The explanation of how a car works is still better than the last AA bloke I talked to
00:50 - I see someone else buys from the same gaming tailor as Monkey Island's Stan...
Car mechanics:*watches Jon explain cars*
Car mechanics: mmmm yes very good
2:13 So we have Jon, cars, engineering, and measurements. Looks like we're in for one hell of a show.
Oh yes, Jon teaching us how to be a mechanic, I love it lol
thanks for covering this game jon, probably my favourite of all time, hope it gets more recognition
Gets to border...papers please....glory to aristoka
Cause no trouble.
I'd says Papers Please had the more realistic border controls :)
I'd like this too eventually have a livestream
Jalopy, Or How Jon Loots and Pillages His Way Through the Eastern Bloc
As a mechanical engineer who works for FCA, this is the best thing I've seen in quite a while.
Jon, if you are ever in Seattle for an event, I would be absolutely honored to have you over to help me do automotive maintenance. 👍🏻
thank you
many a true nerd you have really helped me through tough time thx
Jalopy is a wonderful word, I'm sorry that you have been deprived of it for so long.
Jon and roads is always a good combination
For some reason I like that the Czechoslovac federated republic uses the Czech acronym with the letter Č and the Czech script Pravda vítězí (truth wins or perhaps truth endures is a bit more elegant translation). It might be that I am Czech and therefore glad that the developers didn't just fill my country with English non of the locals would understent since everyone had to learn Russian just a few years prior but looking at the border checkpoint makes me somewhat giddy.
Also all of the goods have appropriate language on them in general. Good job whoever made the game.
I love it ! I would love to see it turn into a series !
I remember when this game came out.. I freakin love this game! :P You've given me the itch to play it again.
Here we go again.
Edit: This is basically a thief simulator, and actually looks like a peacful game to play! This would be a nice chill Livestream Jon!
Roadtrip with Jon is the best roadtrip! :D
No Jon, not 'my soviet car', it is 'our soviet car' good day comrade
When you have an engine that's smoking, you use the cigarette lighter.... common sense.
Been a while since I've seen someone do a Jalopy video. Kind of missed it, it's a relaxing game to see someone let's play.
I love hearing Jon talk about cars. If we're lucky maybe we'll get a truck simulator let's play as well.
One important thing I've learned from watching this video:
Never invite Jon on a road trip.
This was an extremely lucky run. So many crates!
Jon playing a car game? Title is a My Summer Car reference? You KNOW you’re in for a treat!
Jon! if she had a shortage of medicine and a surplus of something else - trade what she needs for what she has, then trade that to someone else who needs it, and so on!
it's called "the great material continuum!", she is a treacherous river, but those who navigate it successfully are rewarded!
I see you're familiar with the Rules of Acquisition too!
This could be a "chill" live stream.
So, we learnt today that a) Jon can't drive, b) knows nothing about how cars work and c) is terrible with money.
Please do more you just turned my awfully day into something bearable this brilliant thanks for the laughs jon
About 1:30 in and Jon explaining car parts makes me face palm and imagine Claire going "Oh Jon..." in a really exasperated voice. Also your uncle's jacket reminds me of Stan's jacket from the Secret of Monkey Island.
Oh good, another episode of "Jon does car stuff". This is going to be fun.
Jon talking about cars is adorable lol🤣
This would be a glorious play through
Watching Jon stop and back up in an Autobahn tunnel to check out the emergency escape door made me very nervous. And those things on the tunnel roof are ventilators.
And the medicine cost twice as much as the repair kit. ouch.
Congrats on adding a wonderful word to your vocabulary! Jalopy, it's so fun too say. Not quite as good as wheelbarrow, but close.
Oh god, now I have to rewatch the podcats where Jon tries to explain how cars and engines work, and rewatch my summer car. It's 4am for God's sake Jon
The “button that stays in” is a cigarette lighter
How many people does it take to make a Trabant? Two: one folds it, the other colours it in.
My inner car mechanic screams in horror, lights itself on fire, jumps out the window, but had too much 2-stroke oil and didn't explode enough...
Nice to see this video hot off the heels of Dan Nerdcubed's vid on this game... 2 years ago.
Finally I get to see Jon play this.
Hasn't Jon already played an earlier version of this game a couple of years ago? I remember him walking an absurdly long distance because the car broke down on the highway.
The battery operates the starter motor, am electric motor that activates the motor until the combustion of fuel inside is stable enough to sustain it... There's an electric motor that spins the engine for a little while when you start it... Chain saws and mowers, you spin the motor by pulling on a wound cord...
Funny that there's an electric motor capable of making the gas motor work in every single car, but there is...
oh Jon and Cars, a story as old as the ages.
I want to live by jons explainations of how things work
0:43 Does anyone know the name of the anime that used this as a animation style? I feel like Jon might find it interesting.
2:35 This is actually one of the mechanics behind biofuel interestingly enough; they just use plant oil and alchohol instead.
Am I the only one who thinks Jon doesn't even have a license because of his 0 perception?
This is gonna be . . . interesting.
I doubt thre was a single roundabout in eastern Germany in 1990. 1/10 for historical accuracy.
What i love is "outershop". A "chain" of shops in east germany where you could buy western products for western money was called "Intershop".
We didn't have much. But at least some roundabouts aka Kreisverkehr
@@Rothiman i don't know any. Even in the west roundabouts were very rare till the naughties.
I love the way Jon says uncle.
The game is set in Germany, so of course you drive on the right and the "mystery door" usually is an emergancy exit in real life if there is a fire in the tunnel so that... you know... you don't die.
the german translations are just amazingly bad. the cigarette brand is just called "admonition". i suspect thats all on purpose though
Of course it is. Do you think a tiny indy dev can afford getting licenses for all the names and brands?
@@5Andysalive of course not. my point was the silly translation
Jon please make this a series!
The saddest thing about this video is that the annoy-the-customers tactic should actually work if you do it on the right room. He thinks you're the owner and slips you the money for the night under the door
Jon plays Jalopy?
Oh, now THIS I've gotta see!
"Genius with cars" is actually Latin for a genius with history
A game about driving around in a beat up car that's in a constant state of breaking down? Sounds like my car situation from about 1995 to 2013.
I'm having GenerikB flashbacks! Awesome video
seeing you do stuff with cars physically hurts me jon :) yet I can't look away
Didn’t know Jon’s playing Fallout Survival mode again
OMG IM AO HAPPY YOUR PLAYING THIS I LOVE THIS GAME BUT, it's super late for me I cant watch atm I'll watch in the morning still putting a like
Ya know what screw it I'm watching
I learned jalopy from Archie Comics' Archie. The nearest Danish word would probably be "smadderkasse".
Well, it didn't end with him lost and weeping in the black Finnish night, so that's a plus.
*Finishes an episode of Hot Rod Garage*
Alright, that's all I want to watch on MTOD today, what's going on on youtube?
*Jon plays Jalopy*
Oh ima need popcorn for this xD
