Ayo, fucking same. I stopped watching RE:4 when they got to the castle, because I was gonna replay RE:4 soon and wanted most of it to be fresh, so I went back and started re-watching the whole series from Dizzy on upwards. It's been quite a ride.
Paul Porada 3rd time. great to listen to when you're playing games at 1 in the morning with no volume as to not wake you're roommate slash friend who's a dick when he wakes up.
My dad was a long haul European truck driver and he would have loved this game he'd insist on having a good steering wheel and everything I know it. It's kinda also how I got into it myself after he passed I found out about it and in a weird way it made me feel closer to him and I just love playing it now,
Sorry for your loss bro. *Hugs you* Well, I wish more simulators would be like this, the Digital Combat Series, X-Plane, Flight Sims from Microsoft, ETS are all good simulators, but the majority of "Simulators" Are pieces of shits.
Long haul truckers are the unsung heroes of the modern age. Without them, half the world would eat the other half in about a month. The entire modern infrastructure is inconceivable without their tireless, underpaid work. I put his kind right up there with the ambulance drivers and firefighters. I bet it is a great source of pride for you that you had a father like him.
I found myself hooked on this (the American Truck Simulator one specificially), so imagine my delight when i heard Yahtzee mention he likes Euro Truck upon a re-watch of a Zero Punctuation episode! I searched 'Yahtzee Euro Truck' and lo and behold - i found this highly entertaining video and this whole damn channel! A goldmine of bollocks!
The "he has a wife, you know" moment is one of my favorite scenes in any comedic film I have ever seen. The look on the one soldier's face is *priceless!* Just a perfect look of "oh no".
Damn, why is this game so mesmerizing? Just both Yahtzee and Gabe talking while driving to this, it's a combination of interesting and relaxing... First Class VIP Heaven...
On the topic of truckers enjoying their job, a lot of them actually do. A good majority of truckers nowadays are ex-military, and a lot of them don't really like being around people. Thus, trucking being a good career for them.
I've known some vets, and it's not necessarily that they don't like being around people, it's that they can't relate to them as easily. As it was explained to me: "They talk about their dog being run over, and like, I'm not a monster. I know that hurts... but I held my buddy's arteries shut as he bled out in my hands from an IED taking off his legs. I feel bad for you, kind of, but how can I relate to that?" more or less anyway.
Sui Suington That reminds me of when I used to work at a retail store back in the day. One afternoon it was just me and our management trainee, who happened to be a veteran of the Viet Nam war. I was having a bad day, and I grumbled that if one more person came into the store and was rude to me, I'd tear his frigging face off. The vet (who was a really soft-spoken, friendly guy) got this far-away look and said, "it's not as easy as it sounds". Suddenly my afternoon didn't seem all that bad.
I am now imagining Peter Molyneux coming out to a stage at an E3 to a chorus singing MOLY-MOLY NEUX MOLY MOLY NEUX. And then he comes in like a wrestler approaching the ring. Pyrotechnics and everything.
As a delivery driver, I find these kind of games very relaxing. All the joys of driving without actually having to worry about idiots that could cause a severe accident.
44:42 "Petrol!" *swerves across lanes and wrecks several other vehicles with his huge truck carrying highly flammable fuel* That's fine, they're only dead now. And somehow that wreck didn't back up traffic for the next hour... Everybody just seems to walk it off and go about their day; he was back on the road with a full tank before the 400 Euro fee even popped up. If only it were that simple in the real lifes. ^_^ I also love how he always drives in the fast lane with his huge, bulky truck, even if he's going slower than traffic. You're the reason I can't have a nice commute, Yahtzee!
I'm actually curious about that... why is the fast lane also the merge and exit lane? That seems like it would create a lot of cross traffic that would both slow down the fast lane (as people try to exit or enter the freeway) and increase the risk of a crash (e.g. with large vehicles trying to get off the road). Like when Yahtzee needed petrol. :D There's probably some advantage to organizing the lanes that way, but I've not lived in a country that does that. Could someone tell me about it?
Daniel Hale I think it's a sucessful trolling attempt, it is the frigging fast lane, no one with a functioning brain would build a highway like that. Still love how Yazthee uses it zero fucks given and there's cars surpassing in the mid lane.
Daniel Hale It's basically treated as the "not just driving" lane. There's the 'normal' lane where you just drive from point A to point B at a constant pace, and then the 'other' lane where you go faster, turn off, or do something that's not regular driving; think of it like the not-the-fast lane is where you can just zone out and drive monotonously, and the fast/turn lane is where you have to pay more attention. This almost never works that way, but that's kind of the thinking behind the system as I understand it. The only real defense for designing it that way is that, when these nations started building large interconnecting networks of roads, it was already chaotic as hell: they had to join all these roads that had existed as little more than horse trails, and all these roads through towns that were so old their roadways often predated cart traffic, to say nothing of automotive traffic.. and on top of that, demand rose much quicker than the nation could build new roadways (and, paradoxically, even minor construction was often met with harsh criticism by people who wanted everything to remain 'the way things had always been'), so basically at some point they had to say fuck it and go with what they'd already thought would work best.
God I love hearing Australians talk about how much the hate cane toads. Gabe also alludes to a great point regarding non-native introductions for the purpose of hunting: The odds are that an ecosystem will have a native species that fills the niche of that popular hunting species you love so damn much. Hunt that critter instead.
This could be the single greatest thing ever 'Drowned'. From a yawny blank face bored visual intake thingy (stuff from this video going into my eyes) reactionary standpoint. I was ballsdeep in boredom. Imagine Yahtzee as a trucker. That's incredible.
I tried beef jerky once, I thought it was horrible :D At the moment tesco have alot of imported american food and sweets like beef jerky, root beer, and stuff like Resses. I tried all of the above and thought it was all horrible lol.. AMERICA?! Y U NO HAVE DECENT FOOD?!
50:10 I took a university class this year about STEM in ancient Rome (and other ancient cultures), and the moment we started talking about aqueducts, Gabe's quote about toilets popped into my head, and wouldn't leave until I shared it with the professor. He concurred.
"I don't know" isn't the worst, the worst is a two post thread, both posts from the same guy, first post describes the exact problem you have, next post is "Nvm fixed it" And that is all.
Wow, I can't believe Deadpool actually got made. AND it was good, AND it made more money than any other R rated movie in general. Waiting for the repercussions from that as we've obviously entered the twilight zone.
Yes this could turn into a trend of just all the movies trying and failing to recreate what worked there, or if we get really lucky just a few others do it and it works.
Tell Gabe about the flightsim community. That is going to make him scratch his head so hard he will scratch his skin off and end up looking like Red Skull.
no. I've seen his roadtrips. he kept comparing buildings to genitalia and secondary sexual traitd but substituting the name of those body parts with the word cake
I love this game, and part of it is the huge detail they put into the world. In my travels I've seen some lovely sights, rivers, and boats, and bridges. I've seen a war museum with tanks outside, a low flying plane pass by overhead, and dozens of peaceful little truck stops. That along with the feeling of a delivery well done, it is obvious why this sim is so much more compared to others.
I really enjoy Yahtzee's comment section, 90% of comments are civilised and fair unlike most youtuber comment sections which are mostly stupidity and irrelevance.
Love the personality, love the topics, and I find both of you greatly amusing. This is something I look forward to on a weekly basis. If I may make a suggestion, there's an indie steam game called Miasmata where the focus is exploration and using real cartography skills. There's also this horror element where exploring after dark will lead to almost certain death by a monster who's stalking you from the moment you are stranded on the island. I've enjoyed what I've played of the game so far, but it's also uneventful enough to possibly do a Drown Out session over it.
am I the only one that thinks Yahtzee will eventually become the real life British version of the Riddler?.. possibly when society eventually breaks down? he'll be leading an army of people all dressed in suits with hats and questions marks on their suits.
Since a new Spider-Man movie has come out, Yahtzee and Gabe should do Spider-Man 2 The Movie The Game. The one for PS2, Game Cube and Xbox. Why? Just to remind people that it's still pretty awesome.
Tol Hydra Well, they have toyed with the premise before and ended up just playing the games because it was too hard to resist. Bet it would happen in this game as well. Unless the rule they use is that they have to use the advanced webslinging. Now that will take some time to get used to.
In the U.S., trucks that are part of the big companies have full internet access so that the vehicle can talk back to the company about its current status and maintenance issues along with its position and heading. So yes, truckers have come into the new millennium and can listen to podcasts and the like as they drive.
Its quite simply really, this is a meditative game, much like real driving, you put on some good music, and your mind drifts away as you drive in a nice European road. Thats why people like. Thats the strength of simulators. Yahtzee gets it. The other guy not so much.
42:54 oh, come on Yahtzee, how come you've never had to deal with pissing glass. You have made the joke about "putting a wastewater system through a recreation zone".
I know a lot of really funny women stand-up comics, great writers and improvisers who are also there. I'm not one to say what a comic can and can't talk about, but when I see 5-6 women talking about sex, you can see why some audiences might fade out.
The Netherlands isn't hard. 'Holland' refers to a region of the Netherlands consisting of two provinces. The only reason it's confusing is that people mistakingly refer to the Netherlands as 'Holland' as that's where historically many of the Dutch people who visited the UK came from as it's the major coastal region of the Netherlands, and one of the more populous regions too. It's just like the way some people refer to the UK incorrectly as 'England'.
I'm not even remotely Dutch and I never had that hard of a time understanding the whole Holland/Netherlands thing. United Provinces was a better name though, much easier to understand (if a little generic).
***** That's what I meant by generic, the term United Provinces could refer to pretty much anywhere. It does however (imo) do a good job of explaining the system because the Netherlands is composed of several formerly distinct regions now bound into a single unit. Talking about democracy, parliaments, royals, centralisation etc. is pretty meaningless, sure some countries mention it but others certainly don't and it isn't as if slapping the democratic label in front of a country actually carries meaning.
On the subject of game shops being badly placed, in a shopping complex near me there was 3 different game shops, one at the top of the place, 2 in the middle about 20M away from each other, they shut down both the one at the top and one at the middle and replace the one in the middle with a shop full of random pointless shit, they then proceded to close down the shop next to the shop with pointless shit and open a game shop next to it.... Good job guys -_-
Even though I'm a trucker myself I'm not interested in this game at all because when I come back home from work and start playing videogames I'd rather not go right back to work.
My boyfriend lives in Australia, and I'll be living there in two years. I enjoy listening to you guys when you talk about how it is there. Makes me feel more eager to live there. ;0;
i know this is late buuut just make sure you stay away from melbourne, everyone i know (myself included) cant stand it here... the weather is not what you would think of when you hear "australia" if youre from somewhere like london u might be used to it but im from perth sooooo yeah
I love to listen to to playlists as I fall asleep. Let's Drown Out is one of the best for that but, it's also interesting enough to keep in the background while I'm awake and doing something.
Now that I think of it that would be a good way of bringing in tourists in Australia, just charge people a little and hand them out all sorts of shit to kill Cane toads with, two birds with one stone :P
"Oh shit, I'm critically low on fuel" says a man with quarter of a tank left. This is how you can tell that this point Yahtzee was an inexperienced driver.
Ha, yeah, this bit always makes me laugh. My car can last like 2 weeks with a quarter tank of gas, but, then again, I don't know the fuel efficiency of a semi truck; I imagine a quarter tank MIGHT be a concern for a person driving on the freeway for dozens of hours at a time... then again... it's still Yahtzee.
AFGNCAAP Anderson that's just cuz you guys are too literal. Here in America a brown guy with several cases of ammonia was dubbed an attempted attack by most of the news networks
The American media is hyperbolic and sensationalist. You shouldn't celebrate the fact that they deliberately misappropriate language in order to incite panic amongst the masses.
One guy started a ranch of Nutrias in Louisiana, apparently 2 escaped and caused enough of a mess that they started paying people per tail that they brought in, permit or no, as long as it wasn't alive anymore. Unfortunately, they're actually a really healthy food animal, but got branded as a pest, and now they're called lake rabbits or something apparently.
Watching Yahtzee driving a truck with the wheel on the right is infuriating because it messes with my mind. Your perspective on the road changes so much if you drive with your steering wheel on the left that I'm just sitting here like a Mother Hen, clenching my jaw and thinking "YOU'RE GOING TO CRASH YOU BUFFOON, STEER LEFT, YOU HAVE A FAMILY".
What's wrong with Alienware aside from having a pricing point way beyond what the hardware is worth? If the joke is that he hasn't built his PC from scratch, that may be laziness as much as anything.
cyanidhogg He said in a different drown out: "People give me shit for buying a pre-baked Alienware pc, saying 'Why not build one? It's cheaper' But i consider certain skills beyond me" >People who aren't that tech savvy >I consider certain skills beyond me
Rabid Pixel Agreed, but the context was: People who can't build computers. People who aren't that tech-savvy. Not: What is the definition of tech-savvy? And he can't build one, at least that's what i'm getting from his comments. So he's talking about people who aren't tech-savvy (who can't build a pc) while being one.
***** >Says being "Tech savy" = being able to build a computer from scratch I do computer programming and software development, and consider myself very tech savy. I have and probably never will build myself a computer. Besides, I'd rather pay people who spent their life learning how to do something as complicated as building computers, rather than going through the trouble of building a computer and saving a hundred or so bucks.
I look forward to these videos each week; I listen whilst playing 'Dark Souls' & 'Dark Souls 2'. Keep this up and one day you might be famous, Mr. Croshaw. :-)
If they did the MS Flight Sim thing and accurately mapped cities, towns etc. I'd be pretty keen to try this, especially in places I had visited. Gotta love a bit of virtual tourism.
I think a game like Firetruck Simulator would really take off. I mean, we've all wanted to be a fireman at some point in our lives. I might just play around with something like that in Blender...
It's kind of funny watching this now knowing the Yahtzee becomes a family man. "I can understand a eurotrucker wanting to be away from their family" I don't think he'd react the same way now he's got his own crotchspawn.
I like it too. When I was younger, I did a lot of truck travelling with my sister and her boyfriend across europe. And being able to drive along the roads during sunsets and sunrises, watching the scenery, driving past countless roadlights during the nights, brings back a nostalgic feeling for me.
This drown out series is one of the most philosophical things I watch on TH-cam... More people should do these kinds of things... I don't think you guys talk bollocks at all.
It's hilarious that lucasarts just declares that the entire EU is null and void and then announces the "new EU" that they are working on... yea that's going to be successful, lets piss off the same people we want to market to in 6 months.
Prottimus It's all a conspiracy they want to use wookie suites for the next films but they need an abundant source of hair and what is the best fake wookie hair? that's right the chest hair of Greek men, lucasarts plans to collapse the EU and use the chaos as cover to steal all of Greece in the confusion.
When the NES was fairly new, the only games my grandpa would play was topgun and asteroids. He flew planes during his favorite job and the only games he cared about were ones with planes in them. It would be nice to hear Gabe say something that makes sense for once.
The reason a lot of people don't like female comics is that the vast majority of them talk about sex and I'm saying this as a Philly comic. When you do stand-up, you can talk about whatever you want, but when I see a show and 5-6 women in a row talk about their sex lives, they're really not going to cover any new ground. There are some women I know who will make you say, "Holy crap, I hadn't thought of that!" which is my favorite reaction, whether delivering or listening to a stand-up set.
Playing Euro Truck Simulator 2 while listening to Yahtzee and _The_other_one_ playing Euro Truck Simulator 2 is quite an experience... P.S.: I agree with Gabe on the hands thing -- make it an option man! For some the lack of hands might actually ruin immersion
There are two very good film adaptations of Lovecraft's work, both done by a small troupe based out of California called the HPLHS, and the two films they've released are a silent film stylization of Call of Cthulhu, and a 40's talkie stylization of Whisperer in the Darkness. Both are very enjoyable and clearly show they were made by fans who appreciate the source material.
Maybe one of those trojan reviews where it's about everything but the actual game or the Wolfenstien review where it's more about what Yathzee is doing in the review.
WTF!!! This is the one game I never thought you'd play. This is my most played PC game by far, with 200 hours. Well, I guess Minecraft would be around there also.
Gabriel, this game is awesome. If you had realistic Paris, you would get lost in it almost immediately. Also, PCs are not powerful enough for rendering that many buildings, shops, people. So I am glad devs didn't want to go that way.
It's too "spreadsheet gaming" to be considered actually fun, but too deep to be considered bad game. This would should yield some interesting results if you ask me.

+JittersCaffeine Sounds like a bit of a drag
This was surprisingly entertaining to watch.
Because Yahtzee
Jon Choux
and Gabe
greencowpat Come on, we all here because of Yahtzee (well, Gabe seem nice too).
disk9434 Gabe's the icing on the cake.
Fuck it, I'm just here for the trucks.
Gabe keeps bringing up Jagged Alliance 2 and the crazy east-germans who play it, but the nationalities of his example change every time. =D
Huh, fox not making an R-rated Deadpool film eh? That sure bit them in the arse later
This feels like what going on a roadtrip with Yahtzee would feel like I would think, if that makes any sense.
no. I've seen his roadtrips. he kept comparing buildings to genitalia and secondary sexual traitd but substituting the name of those body parts with the word cake
I've seen that video.
Thomas Davis look up
Washington DC (zero punctuation)
I love this game, and part of it is the huge detail they put into the world. In my travels I've seen some lovely sights, rivers, and boats, and bridges. I've seen a war museum with tanks outside, a low flying plane pass by overhead, and dozens of peaceful little truck stops. That along with the feeling of a delivery well done, it is obvious why this sim is so much more compared to others.
I really enjoy Yahtzee's comment section, 90% of comments are civilised and fair unlike most youtuber comment sections which are mostly stupidity and irrelevance.
+Peter Twomey Yo mama.
+Vic 2.0 cheers mate
Peter Twomey ;)
'Rome showed up and went " TOILETS!" and then leave...'
Oh Gabe, don't ever change lol
I miss them. Do you miss them?
I miss them. Currently watching all the videos over again
We do. We all do.
Have you seen the reunion streams?
Love the personality, love the topics, and I find both of you greatly amusing. This is something I look forward to on a weekly basis.
If I may make a suggestion, there's an indie steam game called Miasmata where the focus is exploration and using real cartography skills. There's also this horror element where exploring after dark will lead to almost certain death by a monster who's stalking you from the moment you are stranded on the island. I've enjoyed what I've played of the game so far, but it's also uneventful enough to possibly do a Drown Out session over it.
am I the only one that thinks Yahtzee will eventually become the real life British version of the Riddler?.. possibly when society eventually breaks down? he'll be leading an army of people all dressed in suits with hats and questions marks on their suits.
Adam Poole But instead they'll all be wearing trilbies.
Neither assassin nor a templar Gabriel is the worlds first assplar
Since a new Spider-Man movie has come out, Yahtzee and Gabe should do Spider-Man 2 The Movie The Game. The one for PS2, Game Cube and Xbox. Why? Just to remind people that it's still pretty awesome.
sounds too enjoyable, they'd walk the entirety of it :P
Tol Hydra
Well, they have toyed with the premise before and ended up just playing the games because it was too hard to resist. Bet it would happen in this game as well.
Unless the rule they use is that they have to use the advanced webslinging. Now that will take some time to get used to.
Unless you play with advanced swinging anyways like ADVANCE players.
Thatguy7242 because ADVANCE players would play a movie tie in game..
Cudgeon You know it, anyways the advance swinging isnt even very hard.
In the U.S., trucks that are part of the big companies have full internet access so that the vehicle can talk back to the company about its current status and maintenance issues along with its position and heading. So yes, truckers have come into the new millennium and can listen to podcasts and the like as they drive.
"Yahtzee loves fucking puppies." GG mate
Its quite simply really, this is a meditative game, much like real driving, you put on some good music, and your mind drifts away as you drive in a nice European road. Thats why people like. Thats the strength of simulators. Yahtzee gets it. The other guy not so much.
I went to Australia once, it rained in Uluru it was beautiful but I took it as God mocking me.
On the bright side you weren't eaten.
***** By poison
Totally Not A Cylon By dingos
Good to hear someone (tourist) that stepped outside of a major city.
Billbill80s staying in the major cities in Australia as a tourist is just missing the fucking point
"Fox aren't making a R-rated Deadpool film."
Yes they are!
+VuldarLeveL and it was fucking great.
+VuldarLeveL it is done
I think you confused "terrible" for "great"
UndisputedElite is it cool to hate on Deadpool now?
***** Cool, not cool. I don't care. I just don't like that film. Huzzah.
There are tears streaming down my face from Yahtzee ramming into that truck to get to the gas station.
This is the most intelligent "Lets Play" I've ever listened to. I absolutely love you guys, I'm actually LEARNING things.
42:54 oh, come on Yahtzee, how come you've never had to deal with pissing glass.
You have made the joke about "putting a wastewater system through a recreation zone".
Really great discussion in this one, Gabe say what you want about these being too obvious but they seem to work.
I'm a console gamer that plays a lot of PC, so I guess in Yahtzee's viewpoint that makes me a rare breed of gamer.
The Netehrlands is a country, guys, and Holland is the name of a region of 2 provinces, Noth and south holland
I know a lot of really funny women stand-up comics, great writers and improvisers who are also there. I'm not one to say what a comic can and can't talk about, but when I see 5-6 women talking about sex, you can see why some audiences might fade out.
gabe can't wrap his head around having a relaxing truck ride in solitude for a while
The Netherlands isn't hard. 'Holland' refers to a region of the Netherlands consisting of two provinces. The only reason it's confusing is that people mistakingly refer to the Netherlands as 'Holland' as that's where historically many of the Dutch people who visited the UK came from as it's the major coastal region of the Netherlands, and one of the more populous regions too. It's just like the way some people refer to the UK incorrectly as 'England'.
I want you to read that again and consider people who aren't that interested.
Jonathon Carroll I want you to read that again and consider that I was addressing Yahtzee, not you.
I'm not even remotely Dutch and I never had that hard of a time understanding the whole Holland/Netherlands thing. United Provinces was a better name though, much easier to understand (if a little generic).
***** That's what I meant by generic, the term United Provinces could refer to pretty much anywhere.
It does however (imo) do a good job of explaining the system because the Netherlands is composed of several formerly distinct regions now bound into a single unit. Talking about democracy, parliaments, royals, centralisation etc. is pretty meaningless, sure some countries mention it but others certainly don't and it isn't as if slapping the democratic label in front of a country actually carries meaning.
***** OOPS
That's some really good rain-on-windshield effects.
On the subject of game shops being badly placed, in a shopping complex near me there was 3 different game shops, one at the top of the place, 2 in the middle about 20M away from each other, they shut down both the one at the top and one at the middle and replace the one in the middle with a shop full of random pointless shit, they then proceded to close down the shop next to the shop with pointless shit and open a game shop next to it.... Good job guys -_-
As a truck driver in the U.K. I pass the time by listening to Yahtzee and Gabe waffle on while playing games, really makes the journeys seem faster
Even though I'm a trucker myself I'm not interested in this game at all because when I come back home from work and start playing videogames I'd rather not go right back to work.
This is like Rail Away from Dutch television, but with better commentary and trucks instead of trains, so relaxing to watch when hungover!

i probably wont be the first person who points this out
Potato:3 "Yahtzee loves fucking puppies" - Gabe 2014
My boyfriend lives in Australia, and I'll be living there in two years. I enjoy listening to you guys when you talk about how it is there. Makes me feel more eager to live there. ;0;
i know this is late buuut just make sure you stay away from melbourne, everyone i know (myself included) cant stand it here... the weather is not what you would think of when you hear "australia" if youre from somewhere like london u might be used to it but im from perth sooooo yeah
After just playing State of Decay, seeing him switch to his map in the middle of driving makes me freak out just a little bit.
I love to listen to to playlists as I fall asleep. Let's Drown Out is one of the best for that but, it's also interesting enough to keep in the background while I'm awake and doing something.
Dettol works well on cane toads, and so does a 7 iron golf club :D
I reckon FTL would make a good let's drown out
No it wouldn't too many interesting things happen.
***** maybe, maybe not, but he does like FTL.
lunavixen015 That's not the point of the series.
*****
I have watched all of them you know, but they did Just Cause 2 as a LDO and a can happen in that game.
Now that I think of it that would be a good way of bringing in tourists in Australia, just charge people a little and hand them out all sorts of shit to kill Cane toads with, two birds with one stone :P
"Oh shit, I'm critically low on fuel" says a man with quarter of a tank left. This is how you can tell that this point Yahtzee was an inexperienced driver.
Ha, yeah, this bit always makes me laugh. My car can last like 2 weeks with a quarter tank of gas, but, then again, I don't know the fuel efficiency of a semi truck; I imagine a quarter tank MIGHT be a concern for a person driving on the freeway for dozens of hours at a time... then again... it's still Yahtzee.
No one's attacking Australia?
Love it when something oddly prophetic comes up from watching these older LDO's..
And why fuck you mate im from "down under"
The presence of terrorists does not constitute "an attack" on Australia.
AFGNCAAP Anderson that's just cuz you guys are too literal. Here in America a brown guy with several cases of ammonia was dubbed an attempted attack by most of the news networks
The American media is hyperbolic and sensationalist. You shouldn't celebrate the fact that they deliberately misappropriate language in order to incite panic amongst the masses.
One guy started a ranch of Nutrias in Louisiana, apparently 2 escaped and caused enough of a mess that they started paying people per tail that they brought in, permit or no, as long as it wasn't alive anymore. Unfortunately, they're actually a really healthy food animal, but got branded as a pest, and now they're called lake rabbits or something apparently.
"Drive to Australia" -Nazi Scrimshaw
Watching Yahtzee driving a truck with the wheel on the right is infuriating because it messes with my mind. Your perspective on the road changes so much if you drive with your steering wheel on the left that I'm just sitting here like a Mother Hen, clenching my jaw and thinking "YOU'RE GOING TO CRASH YOU BUFFOON, STEER LEFT, YOU HAVE A FAMILY".
>"People who aren't that tech-savvy"
>Buys a pre-baked Alienware
Que laughter
What's wrong with Alienware aside from having a pricing point way beyond what the hardware is worth?
If the joke is that he hasn't built his PC from scratch, that may be laziness as much as anything.
cyanidhogg He said in a different drown out: "People give me shit for buying a pre-baked Alienware pc, saying 'Why not build one? It's cheaper' But i consider certain skills beyond me"
>People who aren't that tech savvy
>I consider certain skills beyond me
***** Being tech-savy isn't just building a computer, it could be programming (which is what he does as a hobby)
Rabid Pixel Agreed, but the context was: People who can't build computers. People who aren't that tech-savvy.
Not: What is the definition of tech-savvy?
And he can't build one, at least that's what i'm getting from his comments. So he's talking about people who aren't tech-savvy (who can't build a pc) while being one.
***** >Says being "Tech savy" = being able to build a computer from scratch
I do computer programming and software development, and consider myself very tech savy.
I have and probably never will build myself a computer.
Besides, I'd rather pay people who spent their life learning how to do something as complicated as building computers, rather than going through the trouble of building a computer and saving a hundred or so bucks.
I look forward to these videos each week; I listen whilst playing 'Dark Souls' & 'Dark Souls 2'. Keep this up and one day you might be famous, Mr. Croshaw. :-)
he is famous.
He moans about quite a bit in Let's Down Out Sympathy of The Night
Wonder how many miles ol’ Yahtz has in Euro truck now
If they did the MS Flight Sim thing and accurately mapped cities, towns etc. I'd be pretty keen to try this, especially in places I had visited. Gotta love a bit of virtual tourism.
I think a game like Firetruck Simulator would really take off. I mean, we've all wanted to be a fireman at some point in our lives.
I might just play around with something like that in Blender...
It's kind of funny watching this now knowing the Yahtzee becomes a family man. "I can understand a eurotrucker wanting to be away from their family"
I don't think he'd react the same way now he's got his own crotchspawn.
I hate to say it but I actually really like this game.
I like it too. When I was younger, I did a lot of truck travelling with my sister and her boyfriend across europe. And being able to drive along the roads during sunsets and sunrises, watching the scenery, driving past countless roadlights during the nights, brings back a nostalgic feeling for me.
Saaayeth Whaaaattttttt!!!!!
fair enough
You are not alone, and I don't even have a cool story like Stummelbo does...
Back when I was young, I played the old ones.18 Wheels of Steel American Long Haul. You can tell I was an exciting kid. It was fun :)
***** Not a full on sim, but i really did enjoy the truck driving missions in GTA: San Andreas, it's oddly relaxing.
This drown out series is one of the most philosophical things I watch on TH-cam... More people should do these kinds of things... I don't think you guys talk bollocks at all.
It's hilarious that lucasarts just declares that the entire EU is null and void and then announces the "new EU" that they are working on... yea that's going to be successful, lets piss off the same people we want to market to in 6 months.
That actually does sound better than the alternative.
WHY ARE LUCUSARTS ENDING THE EUROPEAN UNION? D:
Prottimus
It's all a conspiracy they want to use wookie suites for the next films but they need an abundant source of hair and what is the best fake wookie hair? that's right the chest hair of Greek men, lucasarts plans to collapse the EU and use the chaos as cover to steal all of Greece in the confusion.

Son of a...
DFTGamer Honestly it wouldn't leave the country any worse off than it is now.
When the NES was fairly new, the only games my grandpa would play was topgun and asteroids. He flew planes during his favorite job and the only games he cared about were ones with planes in them.
It would be nice to hear Gabe say something that makes sense for once.
For a drown out, play Goat Simulator and try to be a normal goat
On the subject of "bate."
No.
That game is the definition of bate.
slingshotmcoy
*bait
WHOOPS. Spell check must recognize Bate as a proper noun and consider it correct.
No worries.
slingshotmcoy What does this have to do with my statement? not trying to be rude just wondering.
The reason a lot of people don't like female comics is that the vast majority of them talk about sex and I'm saying this as a Philly comic. When you do stand-up, you can talk about whatever you want, but when I see a show and 5-6 women in a row talk about their sex lives, they're really not going to cover any new ground. There are some women I know who will make you say, "Holy crap, I hadn't thought of that!" which is my favorite reaction, whether delivering or listening to a stand-up set.
oh wow this one is perfect for drowning out! :D
Playing Euro Truck Simulator 2 while listening to Yahtzee and _The_other_one_ playing Euro Truck Simulator 2 is quite an experience...
P.S.: I agree with Gabe on the hands thing -- make it an option man! For some the lack of hands might actually ruin immersion
Come back to us. Entertainers.
what we have to do is assassinate aaron from keepetclassy and then pay gabriel to move to the US with yahtzee
@@ianciti I don't think Aaron needs to be assassinated. From what I've heard he's falling apart all on his own.
There are two very good film adaptations of Lovecraft's work, both done by a small troupe based out of California called the HPLHS, and the two films they've released are a silent film stylization of Call of Cthulhu, and a 40's talkie stylization of Whisperer in the Darkness. Both are very enjoyable and clearly show they were made by fans who appreciate the source material.
Yahtzee should totally do a zero punctuation of this.
No...
Maybe one of those trojan reviews where it's about everything but the actual game or the Wolfenstien review where it's more about what Yathzee is doing in the review.
When Gabriel started chanting Peter Molyneux, I couldn't help being reminded of Sephiroth's theme from Final Fantasy. Pretty funny.
WTF!!! This is the one game I never thought you'd play. This is my most played PC game by far, with 200 hours. Well, I guess Minecraft would be around there also.
Mines Dota 2 with 600 hours
jon3to5
300 hours of Magic The Gathering 2014 here. ^^
1,234 hours on Skyrim and 1,140 hours on New Vegas.
447 hours on XCOM: Enemy Unknown.
6200 hours of CS 1.6 and CS: GO since November 1999 for me.
Gabriel, this game is awesome.
If you had realistic Paris, you would get lost in it almost immediately. Also, PCs are not powerful enough for rendering that many buildings, shops, people. So I am glad devs didn't want to go that way.
Hey. Yahtzee and Gabe. Play Dwarf Fortress. That is all.
Might be too enjoyable for "drown out", actually.
It's too "spreadsheet gaming" to be considered actually fun, but too deep to be considered bad game. This would should yield some interesting results if you ask me.
Most interesting episode yet. Seriously, the Australia talk was neat.
The Netherlands is a single country. North- and South Holland are provinces.
Then who are the Dutch!?
+Wafflepudding The citizens of the Netherlands.
This is more complicated than Gravity's Rainbow
+John Smith haha!
The Netherlands is just Holland; but Benelux is the Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg union.
I'd love to watch ZP on this game.
That could be interesting, har-har.
