It's heartwarming to see that Dan is keeping Ross' habit of giving saves nonsensical names alive even though it used to annoy him back when they were a team.
I love how Dan's gone from the simple straightforward save names like "custard pie", to insane names like Ross's that still announce an important item/event that's happened so you can keep track of what's happened. Best of both worlds.
I saw my friend watching this at his house, never heard of game grumps. He let it play at the end of the night as we drifted off to sleep. I asked him the next morning, what was that, that we were watching? Now sitting at my house on the weekend sipping coffee in the morning, I rewatch the video in it's entirety, such an amazing game. Dan makes it so interesting as well. Thankyou Dan for this quality content. I am now a fan!! Much love!!
if only ben would have done some chill edits... i really wish he'd actually added chill music, and chill intermissions. i use these dan lp's to fall asleep and chill out
I Would Say I know what you mean the overly edgy music was funny at first but it would have been nice if it stuck closer to chill side of the music spectrum
Danny reading every screen and text fully...... makes me feel like promise of Games Grumps fullfilled. This is the experience my OCD heart begs for in every Arin-controlled playthrough. Thank god for the Dan-mellow-dutifulness. It gives life.
Dan: "There's nothing I hate more than accomplishing the main goal and dying on the stairs. I've done it in every single one of these games." ++3 minutes later++ Dan: **falls off a mountain.**
To be fair, I have also heard that the "Dead Man's Float" is a way to avoid drowning when you're exhausted while swimming. I've never tried it, though.

And I like mostly walking as much as whoever else does, but just because they are focused on, and have done games like this for years doesn't mean everyone else sucks by comparison, much less shouldn't even attempt it
Many comments: "So peaceful withotu Arin. Dan is so relaxing and sweet. He's just like Bob Ross!" Also Dan: "THAT'S LIFE, FUCKERS!", "SHOW ME YOUR PLUMAGE, BITCH!"
Overruled. It would be the plaintiff/prosecution holding the sign. Unless Danny's lawyer, a.k.a. The Defense, is just REEEEEEEEAAAAAAALLY bad at their job... Or his lawyer is Brian. Either scenario fits, and if that's the case, then the objection is sustained.
As much as I love both Arin and Dan, there is just nothing better than this. Dans smooth quiet voice, Dan having fun playing a game of his past sharing it with us, and Dan's stories make this a perfect ride.

Rewatching through the various sierra playthroughs. Helps my anxiety, especially in the quarantine stuff... drifted off to sleep and woke up to Ben's edits. I think this is the first time I've been genuinely upset at an edit.
There's an episode of Mr. Roger's Neighborhood where Mr Roger sets up an egg timer and just sits for a minute, to help teach kids how long a minute actually is. Things move too quickly now-a-days.
*Wrong.* Things are still too slow. I'm only twenty, and I'm ready to die of old age. But, oh my god, I'm not even halfway through my expected lifespan. Life is unbearably long, man. So fucking long.
@@bluelfsuma That's a good thing. Days go by in a blur if you just do the same things and slog through similar experiences every day. If you keep changing things up life will take a while. Once you get a little older and settle in to a mundane job the years can fly by.

@@Ayoul Well, I mean, the meandering cuts are appreciated, at least. No edits at all would just a livestream, which is a pretty good idea, now that I think about it
@@CastleToastM No edits at all is a let's play. The Game Grumps channel is a let's play channel first and foremost. A stream implies interaction with the audience IMO. Yes some of Ben's less intrusive edits are sometimes appreciated, but they aren't necessary tbh. People don't watch the Grumps for the editor, but he can be a tool to enhance the experience. Since his inception Ben is more of an inconvenience to my viewing experience because like this case, he makes it about himself rather than the playthrough.
1:15:00 For those of you who don't know: when you bought this game it came with a booklet. In the back of the booklet were a number of blank pages. If you ran a highlighter over the pages words would appear that tell you secrets to beating the game. It's the only way my sister and I got through it when it came out. We played this thing to death and back with and without the notes. This was easily our favorite game to play together.
SethiKinsGaming is it a better job? Or is it just different and more closely aligned to your personal taste? You don’t have to shit on one to praise the other.
"'I like to move it, move it.' If you remember that, you're a child of the 90's" That, or you're a child of the 00's and you fondly remember the film Madagascar.
yeah or like, the 2010s because they had a Madagascar SERIES and this was the damn anthem for it. I could tolerate this song if it came on the radio, but that movie made it cringey and thereafter it was insufferable -- inextricably tied to cheap, bad "Madagascar"-themed children's programming...
Dan, I’m your age and I played this when I was a kid, as well. I remember, one Christmas I got a computer with quite a few Sierra games. I didn’t know a thing about that company at the time, but as I looked through the collection, I was immediately impressed with the cover art of this game. There weren’t a lot of games featuring female leads in those days, so this was a treasure. It was my first venture into Sierra and, to this day, it is one of my top favorites. Thank you so much for playing this through and for your wonderful commentary!
They both have such different vibes when they're doing solo playthroughs Arin's gives the vibe of your best friend who you've been w forever who you think is going through it, but reality he knows you're the one whose just a bit stressed and is trynna cheer you up. Also it's 4 am and you're both just a bit delirious. Dan is more like just sitting you down and he wants you to just like, experience this cool world he's been with since childhood, and is almost telling it to you like it's a story book filled with whimsy and adventure... But also the fish keeps on not taking the bait and things keep on happening not quite the way either of you expected. Idk the playthroughs have such a nice vibe tho it's so much better when they're together
Yeah. I prefer them together. But it's also a treat when they do their own playthroughs. Sometimes I need Arins vibes and sometimes I need Dan's chill. So I always love these. Just nothing tops them together
for some absurd reason that's the standard procedure for resting in the water in survival situations, actually. Despite the fact most people will somewhat float in a way they can keep head above water, or rest laying on their back with their *head out of the god damned water what the fuck is this for*
@@PilkScientist I guess the logic is you're more likely to actually relax and allow your body to float if you're face down, but if you're face up you're fighting to keep your head up? You'd think the breathing would be the more important part, but whatever.
Okay I gotta say, for how old and "primitive" the technology was at this time, they did a phenomenal job with designing the world and making the art so that it looks really beautiful. There's a surprising amount of detail and just enough going on to help you imagine what it looks like in your head. Good job to the people who made this game.
These games are all amazing. I never had a computer growing up when these games came out but I can picture myself completely mesmerized playing them if I had a pc
@Frogger No, you're just disrespectful. It's admiring someone's achievement, just because plenty of people climb mount Everest now doesn't mean the first person to wasn't amazing.
@Frogger My guy you liked your own comments when you replied to me LMAO. You made an assumption to defend your opinion, and clearly don't understand the expression you're criticizing. Sorry man, didn't realize I was talking to a 16 year old.
Dan reading the dialogue and game text makes me feel like someone is reading me a relaxing bedtime story and i'm so here for it EDIT: Dan, five seconds after I typed that comment: get fuCKED RAVEN
Same thing here. He's so calming. Maybe some kids books? "Pigs make me sneeze" by Mo Willems is my favorite book. Love for him to do Gerald's (the elephant's) voice. Just his natural voice will do. His voice is adorable to listen to.
@@Sharon_Hocutt I was always partial to the Very Hungry Caterpillar and Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? Maybe he could do a whole series of children's books!
Could just be me, but I feel like the names of the fairies should be switched. Genesta sounds more sinister and evil, while Lolotte sounds a lot more happy and friendly.
Lolotte is a bit weird for me: In French, my first language, it's the very familiar/cute diminutive of Laurence or Charlotte. Yet it reminds me of the Dark Elves goddess Lolth/Lloth, which is... pretty mean. So there's some dissonance in my brain each time they talk about Bad Fairy Lolotte x)
For anybody wondering what the secret code was for: It was part of a contest Sierra ran where the first so many people who completed the game with perfect scores could submit their codes to win various prizes.
33:33 That's how the original Princess and the Frog went! The frog was a total dbag and when he returned the golden ball to the princess he followed her home and made her feed him and sleep in the same bed with him and after three days of nothing he asked her to kiss him and she only did so because her father told her to. Then when he transformed into a prince they got married and shit it was weird
When I was young, my mom was playing King's Quest VII. The phone rang and she got up without pausing the game to go get the phone. She was at the beginning where the queen was in the desert. Suddenly, the queen keels over dead. I freaked out. And that was my introduction to Sierra games.
50:08 *Hnnnnggg* "This thing is drooping very slightly on a consistent basis, so if you hear me get softer, very slightly, I promise I'll fix that in a second." ಠ_ಠ
1:36:20 I've played enough BOTW to know that skull has like, five bokoblins in it, *and* to fully relate to passing it by thinking "yeah, I'll get to that later".
I revisit this video often i can’t explain it but all these videos are so comforting for me like when I’m nervous or laying in bed I will be lulled into sleep everytime and everytime I try to explain to someone I cannot I just love love love these please never take them down.
Honestly, this game achieves such a beautiful atmosphere with so little, I kinda get why a younger Dan couldn't imagine anything greater than this, it really does look like a treat aesthetically
Graphics improvements over time regardless, if I was an artist on this game, I'd feel an incredible sense of pride seeing how much charm and good memories you remember playing this
I feel the same way he does. I actually prefer these graphics because they're good enough to draw you into the game world without being too "fake, yet trying to be realistic" like many modern games.
@@DeathnoteBB If I had to wager a guess, since it's being played through the browser, whoever designed the site wanted to pool all save files so they'd be easier to find and keep bloat to a minimum. It seems better than tracking save files through cookies, which could be susceptible to data loss through a user-end purge or something like that.

It's in words
This shoulda got more likes

"I'm also Dan!!"

Dan calls a save "Sturz" (stairs) which means "fall" in German, proceeds to fall to his death.
This is funny, and very underappreciated.
😂😂😂
This is amazing to learn and I thank you
Doesn't "Sturz" usually mean "fall" as in "fall of an empire", though? I thought fall in this context was "fallen".
Thats amazing

JEJRON i was busy doing other things so i only listened to this entire playthrough and could only glance at what's happening every once in a while, i'm glad i read your comment. Thanks!
I'm SO glad you pointed that out!
I love ben's edits the subtle ones especially
Kiss leopard: Thats probably not a good idea
pet leoard: Thats probably not a good idea
def leppard: Hell yeah brah
I would love to hear of a zoo who adopted a leopard with an inability to hear and named it Rick.
Both to honour the band and to remind people that, although awesome, they are still savage beasts
Thanks for the random startling music put in the middle of a relaxing video, that was really pleasant and necessary.
Also Dan seriously *do more of these.* They're so wholesome!
And less obnoxious screaming and cursing in the ben edits maybe!
@@grilledleeks6514 No edits at all would be even better!
@@Ayoul Well, I mean, the meandering cuts are appreciated, at least.
No edits at all would just a livestream, which is a pretty good idea, now that I think about it

@@CastleToastM No edits at all is a let's play. The Game Grumps channel is a let's play channel first and foremost. A stream implies interaction with the audience IMO.
Yes some of Ben's less intrusive edits are sometimes appreciated, but they aren't necessary tbh. People don't watch the Grumps for the editor, but he can be a tool to enhance the experience. Since his inception Ben is more of an inconvenience to my viewing experience because like this case, he makes it about himself rather than the playthrough.
I fear no man but that **the amount of ads on the video** that scares me
They gotta get that money since they keep losing revenue
I guess dan is very advertiser friendly.
JOTAROOOO!!!!
it's a 3 hour video, calm the fuck down
@@ryancarrell3186 grumps are losing revenue? Sorry I'm kinda out of the loop on this stuff.
8:15 "Hot local singles want to plunder your ass!" Lmao, thanks Ben.
I didn't even see that!
ah such glorious editing
Literally scrolled through here JUST to see if anyone posted a comment about that. Thank you for existing
1:15:00 For those of you who don't know: when you bought this game it came with a booklet. In the back of the booklet were a number of blank pages. If you ran a highlighter over the pages words would appear that tell you secrets to beating the game. It's the only way my sister and I got through it when it came out. We played this thing to death and back with and without the notes. This was easily our favorite game to play together.
Dan replaces John
I've seen this before...
Mwuahhahahaha

SethiKinsGaming is it a better job? Or is it just different and more closely aligned to your personal taste? You don’t have to shit on one to praise the other.

"'I like to move it, move it.' If you remember that, you're a child of the 90's"
That, or you're a child of the 00's and you fondly remember the film Madagascar.
i was looking for this comment
Dammit I was going to make this comment a couple days ago but I was watching on my PS4 and forgot 😂
yeah or like, the 2010s because they had a Madagascar SERIES and this was the damn anthem for it.
I could tolerate this song if it came on the radio, but that movie made it cringey and thereafter it was insufferable -- inextricably tied to cheap, bad "Madagascar"-themed children's programming...
I mean, I remember Madagascar, but "fondly" isn't really the word I'd use.
Yes
Dan, I’m your age and I played this when I was a kid, as well. I remember, one Christmas I got a computer with quite a few Sierra games. I didn’t know a thing about that company at the time, but as I looked through the collection, I was immediately impressed with the cover art of this game. There weren’t a lot of games featuring female leads in those days, so this was a treasure. It was my first venture into Sierra and, to this day, it is one of my top favorites. Thank you so much for playing this through and for your wonderful commentary!
They both have such different vibes when they're doing solo playthroughs
Arin's gives the vibe of your best friend who you've been w forever who you think is going through it, but reality he knows you're the one whose just a bit stressed and is trynna cheer you up. Also it's 4 am and you're both just a bit delirious.
Dan is more like just sitting you down and he wants you to just like, experience this cool world he's been with since childhood, and is almost telling it to you like it's a story book filled with whimsy and adventure... But also the fish keeps on not taking the bait and things keep on happening not quite the way either of you expected.
Idk the playthroughs have such a nice vibe tho it's so much better when they're together
I really like it when Dan plays these Sierra games solo, though, just because they are already quiet with just smatterings of music.
@@RanMouri82 yeah!! me too, they're nice and soothing
Yeah. I prefer them together. But it's also a treat when they do their own playthroughs. Sometimes I need Arins vibes and sometimes I need Dan's chill. So I always love these. Just nothing tops them together
Ah, yes. The most effective way of not drowning. Laying *face down* in the water.
for some absurd reason that's the standard procedure for resting in the water in survival situations, actually. Despite the fact most people will somewhat float in a way they can keep head above water, or rest laying on their back with their *head out of the god damned water what the fuck is this for*
@@PilkScientist I guess the logic is you're more likely to actually relax and allow your body to float if you're face down, but if you're face up you're fighting to keep your head up?
You'd think the breathing would be the more important part, but whatever.
@@AliceinDisneyWorld1125
I used to float face up on water as a kid all the time in the pool.
Could take a nap and everything. Was good times :D
13:17 “That sound means you did something right”
Wish I had that in my real life
oh it exists it just means you haven't gotten anything right
Maybe you do.
I would not hear it anyway
1:25:11
“Ben, can you give me some chill music?”
*SHUT THE FUUU-* (chill music plays)
Okay I gotta say, for how old and "primitive" the technology was at this time, they did a phenomenal job with designing the world and making the art so that it looks really beautiful. There's a surprising amount of detail and just enough going on to help you imagine what it looks like in your head.
Good job to the people who made this game.
These games are all amazing. I never had a computer growing up when these games came out but I can picture myself completely mesmerized playing them if I had a pc
@Frogger Lowering the standard to 1988 yes
@Frogger No, you're just disrespectful. It's admiring someone's achievement, just because plenty of people climb mount Everest now doesn't mean the first person to wasn't amazing.
@Frogger My guy you liked your own comments when you replied to me LMAO. You made an assumption to defend your opinion, and clearly don't understand the expression you're criticizing. Sorry man, didn't realize I was talking to a 16 year old.
Daaaaaaan.
Alternate Title: Daddy Dan Reads The Lovelies A Fairy Tale In His Sexy Voice
Dan reading the dialogue and game text makes me feel like someone is reading me a relaxing bedtime story and i'm so here for it
EDIT: Dan, five seconds after I typed that comment: get fuCKED RAVEN
I'm literally listening to Dan playing as I falll asleep
@@connors2154 Same haha
This supports my disney-ish wish of having Dan read books for Audible.
I'll save money and just plagiarize the dictionary and pay him to read it. I'll be sure to link when it happens
Same thing here. He's so calming. Maybe some kids books? "Pigs make me sneeze" by Mo Willems is my favorite book. Love for him to do Gerald's (the elephant's) voice. Just his natural voice will do. His voice is adorable to listen to.
@@Sharon_Hocutt I was always partial to the Very Hungry Caterpillar and Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?
Maybe he could do a whole series of children's books!
Could just be me, but I feel like the names of the fairies should be switched. Genesta sounds more sinister and evil, while Lolotte sounds a lot more happy and friendly.
I started by just listening and I pictured the names as Jenesta and Lolat and idk it made more sense to me
Lolotte is a bit weird for me: In French, my first language, it's the very familiar/cute diminutive of Laurence or Charlotte. Yet it reminds me of the Dark Elves goddess Lolth/Lloth, which is... pretty mean. So there's some dissonance in my brain each time they talk about Bad Fairy Lolotte x)
“wtf why are there so many ads for one video”
*looks at video length*
“oH”
Lol I've watched this three times and haven't gotten a single ad.
Ads? Haven’t seen an ad in years. YT premium is dope
@@misteryA555 Yeah on my not a camputor device where I can download a totally not a phishing program for my not a camputor cell phoning device
When Dan said the famous last words "I'm making this more exciting by not saving"
...and had to redo 10 minutes of gameplay when he fell off a cliff
The entire forest: sees an innocent lady and prepares to murder.
Rosella: *reaches for the axe* "Oh, I'd like to see you try."
(0:37) Little did Dan know that he would soon meet Roberta Williams a couple years later.
Lucky bastard. Though I'd be more eager to meet the Coles.
For anybody wondering what the secret code was for: It was part of a contest Sierra ran where the first so many people who completed the game with perfect scores could submit their codes to win various prizes.
Oh wow, that's so cool! Thanks for explaining!
I bet Dan is gonna love this-Oh, he's solo? *excitement intensifies*
33:33 That's how the original Princess and the Frog went! The frog was a total dbag and when he returned the golden ball to the princess he followed her home and made her feed him and sleep in the same bed with him and after three days of nothing he asked her to kiss him and she only did so because her father told her to. Then when he transformed into a prince they got married and shit it was weird
It's interesting how much more sincere and serious king's quest is over space quest.
they're written by different people and going for different vibes. space quest is meant to be funny.
When I was young, my mom was playing King's Quest VII. The phone rang and she got up without pausing the game to go get the phone. She was at the beginning where the queen was in the desert. Suddenly, the queen keels over dead. I freaked out.
And that was my introduction to Sierra games.
King's Quest VII was also my first game in the series I played. Damn was it hard, but so charming. Really don't understand the hate it sometimes gets.
"You have a beautiful soul Edgar, let's make you look like what you are!"

I'd like to fix it for him..
No hate to Arin, but these are some of my favorite episodes
(Tho to be fair, Arin solo episodes also fall into my faves)
Except for... y’know... *those* episodes...
Solgallaleo
Don’t you dare disrespect Arin’s family like that. We love all of the Hanson bloodline here
Yes!!! I absolutely love the Dan solo episodes. They’re so chill and the long length really just gets you in to a chill head space
I just love these fellas :)
Hey, Franklin's alright.
DANIEL. YOU RELAX ME.
That is all.
DAAAAAAAMN DANIEL!
You don't seem very relaxed for a relaxed person.
I'm going to watch this a few times on a row
it’s not just nostalgia dan, this is the first time im seeing this game and i agree that the art style is beautiful.
1:36:20 I've played enough BOTW to know that skull has like, five bokoblins in it, *and* to fully relate to passing it by thinking "yeah, I'll get to that later".
I missed these long solo playthroughs, I cant tell you how many times I watched the space quest ones.
"Look Crow"
*The Raven doesn't look to be happy that it's been called a crow.*
Yeah...
A raven is a type of crow.
@@porkcracklins630 You must be fun at parties... i mean, you'd definitely make for a great snack in parties
@@jazy921 Yes, but only in small amounts. I am NOT part of a healthy, balanced diet.
@@krow7402 yeah indeed
I revisit this video often i can’t explain it but all these videos are so comforting for me like when I’m nervous or laying in bed I will be lulled into sleep everytime and everytime I try to explain to someone I cannot I just love love love these please never take them down.
Imagine if you went through all of that only for the dad to choke on the fruit.
The "Hot Local Singles" sign killed me lmao!
same 😂
It had me dying xDD "hot local singles want to PLUNDER YOUR ASS"
I'd definitely click on that
Honestly, this game achieves such a beautiful atmosphere with so little, I kinda get why a younger Dan couldn't imagine anything greater than this, it really does look like a treat aesthetically
The editing is very distracting, throws off the chill episode. Besides that I really enjoyed this and hope Danny does more Kings Quest in the future.
Love your GG comps man. Some of the best imo

That's where you're right, kiddo

I bought it right adter watching that. I haven't played it yet
I really wish they would finish that one :( they've prob got too much going on nowadays though
@@scotty5615 They played more on stream (a year ago??).
I got it for free but haven’t played it

Well this little series has usually been pretty perfect to relax or sleep to...
Until Ben came along with those cut edits 😆
At first glance I thought you called him uncle Ben
CherryGumdrops707
I wouldn’t judge you if you called him Uncle Ben. :)
Ben’s editing really sucks in this video
I think Ben's editing is real funny in this video. despite him not being a very cool person
@@ofanichan how so? I don't know nearly enough about him
Graphics improvements over time regardless, if I was an artist on this game, I'd feel an incredible sense of pride seeing how much charm and good memories you remember playing this
I feel the same way he does.
I actually prefer these graphics because they're good enough to draw you into the game world without being too "fake, yet trying to be realistic" like many modern games.
"I hope you don't mind me taking you on a little tour of this game"

Of course we don't mind. It's what we've been wanting from the grumps for who knows how long. Lol

Man, John's gonna be really sore when he comes back to play and there's a string of seemingly nonsensical save files with his at the very end.
Seriously though what was that? How is there a save file
@@DeathnoteBB If I had to wager a guess, since it's being played through the browser, whoever designed the site wanted to pool all save files so they'd be easier to find and keep bloat to a minimum. It seems better than tracking save files through cookies, which could be susceptible to data loss through a user-end purge or something like that.
