I'm so glad I found this video in my "What to watch" thingy. Only ever watched Yahtzee's reviews before, never knew about this channel. I still have this game somewhere, never could beat it.
Yahtzee you got it all wrong, Operation Genesis is a Zoo Management type game where you build and manage Jurassic park. You can even make cages where you clone dinosaurs to kill each-other for the entertainment of all. Its even the only Zoo game I've ever seen where you can just straight up murder your animals with a rifle if you want too! What your thinking about is Jurassic Park Dinosaur battles... I have all these games... for some reason...
+TheAtomicGoliath I'm pretty sure the game he's actually thinking of is Chaos Island, that was a The Lost World themed RTS game from 1997 where you could command small armies of dinosaurs.
"I don't have enough platelets to [play games and talk at the same time.]" Gabe, unless you're implying that a brain hemorrhage is preventing you from effectively multitasking, platelets aren't gonna help you.
@@ludilka Fun fact: I have no idea how I knew the pronunciation of "Nublar." As of right now, I don't even know what it is. Maybe I googled it. Fun fact 2: I feel like I should have known the pronunciation of "isla," so I don't know why I didn't mention that.
@@ludilka don't forget: - makes fun of Gabe for mispronouncing words despite mispronouncing quite a few - says GoT spoiler, Gabe responds with something like "that was a great part," then yahtzee yells at Gabe for spoiling GoT - says Gabe is "the living embodiment of the Dunning-Kruger Effect" despite that statement making no sense and feeling like pure projection.
About 5 years ago, I started writing some stories in a hypothetical world where it is proved that earthlings are the only living creatures ever existed and those stories take place in the era when only red dwarves could somehow provide energy for the last humans to survive since all other star types were dead. And now I watch Let's Drown Out and I hear Yahtzee telling me about a comedy series called "Red Dwarf" where humans are the only intelligent life that ever existed in the universe. Not sure how I feel about that
I guess I grew out of it. It's not like I wrote actual stories anyway, more like "one initial story to describe the world and one post saying that I'll post more often in the future". Common for 20 year-olds I guess :P
Yahtzee, I think what you were referring to with The Evil Dead was that they made a shorter, shittier version of it (called Within the Woods) to show to investors before making the full The Evil Dead. So essentially, the flashback scene in Army of Darkness is a remake of Evil Dead 2, the first 15 minutes of which were a remake of The Evil Dead, which inturn is an expanded remake of Within the Woods. Culture hour!
By the by. I do have to thank you guys. Because of how much praise DS 1 got from you + the fact that another youtuber started lping DS 2 and I watched maybe 2 episodes of that I finaly got myself a gamepad and bought the dang thing. Best money I spend on a game since forever.
There are much better ways of explaining environmentalism indeed than the mopy heartfelt appeal to emotion. For one thing, nature does jobs we could never do (pollination), jobs we are shit at doing (soil stabilization), jobs we don't want to do (garbage disposal) and jobs we cannot do without poisoning ourselves (medication). While nature is not some sort of wonderland where the scent of flowers cures cancer, most of our modern medicine is derived from plants and things we got from 'em. And let's not forget food. It's much harder to grow food in a dilapidated ground and it yields much worse stuff quality-wise ; maintaining a solid healthy soil allows you to grow food that is more nutritive. As a rule of thumb, it boils down to the simple principle that when it comes to resources, mindful cooperation is preferable to mindless exploitation.
Operation Genesis was just a park-building sim where you could breed dinosaurs and decide to set your carnivores loose to kill all your paying visitors on a whim. I think Yahtzee's thinking of a different game there.
Maybe its because its just late, but the sentence "They're learning! They built a helicopter!" just cracked me up. Listening to you two really wants me to get my stepbrother and play games.
Speakin' o' games that came in nice shiny boxes, and having an absolute appreciation for 'em... when I was much younger, my folks decided to buy me Donkey Kong 64. Thing was, I couldn't play it, 'cause they had an infinitely growing list of things they wanted me to complete prior to being able to enjoy it... must've been some "learn the value of x" sort've thing... anyhoo. Fell in love with the freakin' manual, for crying out loud; just so bright and colorful, and I wouldn't dare call it instructions, it felt like dialogue, really, so fulla character. Then I actually played the game like... I dunno... two years later? Nothing like I'd imagined, but still so much fun.
Nothing would break us as a species more than knowing our planet is the only one with life? Humans are by nature so self-centered that most people neither consider nor care about anything outside of their own life, let alone their own planet. What's more, it's more or less a given that the planets and moons surrounding us are devoid of life, so we're already accustomed to the idea of being the only life in the universe. What an inane thing to say. What'd _actually_ break a lot of people is proof there's no life after death, especially if they also found out there's no purpose to life. People lose their marbles at the concept of their own mortality, of the idea that their existence meant nothing, and of being forgotten. Much like religion, we fill the unknown with our imagination, because most can't handle the idea that the reason we don't know is simply because there's nothing there, and while that may seem to support the idea that we'd lose said marbles over us being the only life in the universe, as I said earlier, the most important thing to most people is their own life. As a result, the worst thing that could happen to most people is to learn that life is worthless, there's nothing out there to absolve you of your mistakes, and that once you've died, you'll never have a second chance. Of course, the reasonable ones either react to that with apathy, or as an excuse to live their lives to the fullest and enjoy the life they've been given, as they no longer have excuses not to, but on the whole, we're a ridiculously unreasonable species, so most people would just flip their shit, or retreat into delusion.
Looked up that film Yahtzee was talking about. I vaguely remember the ending from my childhood. The image of it. (My parents must have been watching it or something and I was just kinda "there") It had a kind of surreal "bleakness" to it even though I wasn't paying attention to how it came to be there. It was quite striking and memorable to me. I could interpret how melancholic it was, even if I wasn't completely sure why. (Hell, who am I kidding? I knew exactly why. Poor little robot...)
I played this game as a kid. I only explored the visitor center, the surrounding area and the small plateau to the north of it, because I was too affraid to die from surprise raptor attacks in the jungle areas. A few years ago, I played it again on ZSNES, ventured all across the island... and got stuck on a mission objective. ^^;
Haha Operation Genesis wasn't an RTS, it was a park builder like Zoo tycoon but with Dinosaurs. Also the reason why the PS4 beating the X1 in sales is news is because Titanfall launched and everyone thought for sure the X1 would outsell the PS4 at least for one month, it didn't. lol.
I could never beat this game as a child, and the first person aspect of the game terrified me with the dinosaurs running into my face. This was when I was about 4-5 years old as well.
Yahtzee likes Logan's Run?! My man-crush on him is now bordering on stalker-ish. Oh, and that synopsis of Silent Running is freakin' priceless. Check out Duncan Jones' Moon if you haven't already.
Well, if you guys enjoy Dystopian Sci-fi future films, then if you haven't seen it, do try "Brazil". Directed by Terry Gilliam and starring Jonathon Pryce. The film also features: Robert De Niro Kim Greist Katherine Helmond Michael Palin Bob Hoskins Ian Holm Jim Broadbent etc... Though this film unfortunately was made in 1985 instead of the mid seventies, I have thought of it as a creative and interesting Movie. In fact, I have yet to hear any negative opinions on the quality of the film. Thank you for your time.
FYI normally those ID card popups are transparent so you can see behind them. It's an emulation glitch that makes them solid like this. bSNES fixes it, but it's only a problem for the more terrible games most of the time.
Op. Genesis is fantastic. Would be perfect with more building types and was pretty realistic for a game released in 2002. I think he was thinking of The Lost World: Chaos Island.
The guy who made Cookie Clicker (Orteil) made a thing called "Nested," a sort of program that works the way a file folder navigator in an OS works, except it literally goes through universes instead of files. And it's actually quite fascinating.
Correction; operation genesis was basically theme park world for the JP universe, and was kinda sweet at least the first few times I did it. By the way, thanks for creating something intensely watchable, albeit inexplicably so
54:00: You're thinking of It Happened One Night, I think, and there's certainly no artistic lamp plot....though that is a great scene. It's more than just the hair down, though, they put on an act of husband and wife, among other things.
I'm missing your prerecorded vids. this is good but the first few point and click lp's where awesome. If you ever want to make more of those I would like to request "I have no mouth but i must scream" never played it but I'm damned curious but can't be bothered to play it myself.
I loved this game, spent hours trying to find the last bloody egg, then when I did the end sequence was just a reverse of the pre-title screen. SIGH. Rocking soundtrack though :)
That would actually be a really good choice for Drown Out. That game is both repetitive but sometimes visually interesting. All it ever requires you to do is walk around and touch things. You wouldn't end up with situations like this where you are playing the game and have to focus on it derailing the conversation part of it.
Liking the very unsubtle Kenner logo shoved on the building :P The little bit of Silent Running I actually remember I felt really sad when one of the robots Huey/Dewey/Louie whichever one got knocked into space. Yeah screw the people getting murdered XD
I think my favorite 3 classes is Demoman, Scout, and Heavy. I truly like them all though. Also the Spy seems intelligent in his trailer. The Engineer kind of talks about being a man who gets the job done, so he might also be sane. I'm betting Demoman is probably the most insane. Yes so is the soldier, but the Demoman has the same attitude but while completely drunk.
Oh man I had this game on console! This was a big part of my childhood right here... gotta say... not quite as I remember, but then again I think I never got past the first area.
At 20:33 that was a dragon fractal on the background of the monitor. or at least was supposed to look at it because It didn't look quite right the way it was forming.
24:00, heat death of the universe. The positively saddest thing imaginable, but no one will ever give a shit because everything would have been long dead before happens. We can do precisely nothing.
Depends on if you ascribe to multiverse hypothesis. Anyway, if the physics are consistent between all universes, they'd be in the same state. Not just one dead universe, all dead universes for an infinite number of eternities. I think I've reached the next level of nihilism.
See, I'm not particularly convinced that the heat death would be the end of everything. Stuff would still _happen_, just at a much, much slower timescale. Intelligence or information processing might still exist as long as all computations are done reversibly without increasing entropy. In other words, "life" like us glorified heat engines wouldn't exist because entropy would be at a maximum, but consciousness might.
I'm with Yahtzee on the whole "lives" thing. There's no reason to include them in any more now that we have autosaves, checkpoints, and whatnot. They don't add anything to the game. Even as far back as the SNES era they were a useless holdover from the arcade-style design where lives = quarters. Only reason I can think of that people still use them is the mindset that "It's a video game. Video games are supposed to have lives."
I remember the game that Yahtzee was talking about. There was a dinosaur RTS game where you had to find dinosaur eggs, collect and hatch them to help you fight. For the life of me I can't recall it's title. It's not Operation Genesis though.
I find it funny that Yahtzee kept saying Galli-ME-mus, and Gabe kept trying to subtly make Yahtzee realize it was Galli-MY-mus by always using the word, properly pronounced, in his response.
I think the games that work the best are the ones where they can play and talk about topics but on the off occasion something interesting might happen, like the Just Cause 2 video and the Sims 3. They should do more of those games, and I wondered whether Crackdown would work for that just running round doing random things or possibly Assassin's Creed 1 just wandering through the Kingdom or even one of the cities and just mucking about, if not then something like Spyro, Crash Bandicoot or Jak & Daxter (although they are good games)
Surprisingly enough, they had the same dual-game-mechanic all the way back in Fester's Quest. Top down walkabout while finding stuff, but you could enter some homes and it would go first person.
"31 years and this is what breaks me." Lol. I identify with this.. In my case I'm 29 and it's my car not starting for months, after many hours of labor, but still.
My favourite class in TF2 is Soldier but outside game cake is taken by Heavy. Yes he's a psychopath loving war and brutality but he does that to be able to protect his family. He's propably 2nd most human person in game. 3rd one might be Demoman if not his talking sword.
Gennaro was the lawyer, but when the name went by in this video I first thought "Hey... isn't that the lady who was sorta-married to John McClane in Die Hard?" Yep, her maiden name was Gennaro... except the internet now tells me that was a spelling error several times in the movie(s) and it should be Gennero.
Jurassic Park the game actually takes a lot of cues from the book and not the movie. Like late in the game where you have to destroy an underground raptor nest using a special canister of nerve gas.

After almost 7 years I'm rewatching this. Time flies. It feels like it was uploaded yesterday.
I'm so glad I found this video in my "What to watch" thingy. Only ever watched Yahtzee's reviews before, never knew about this channel. I still have this game somewhere, never could beat it.
CLEVER GIRL
I know what you mean. :D
Exact same just happened, when I heard the voice and read the name and instaclick.
I exposed myself to a new culture the other day. I got arrested.
and what did you see?
Hey Corpsolian, I wonder if Benjamin has caught on to the joke by now haha
"Hello, I'm Jeff Goldblum."
"And I'm Laura Dern."
THAT was the intro that I was hoping for.
Yahtzee you got it all wrong, Operation Genesis is a Zoo Management type game where you build and manage Jurassic park. You can even make cages where you clone dinosaurs to kill each-other for the entertainment of all.

Speaking of 70's Sci-fi, i watched "The Andromeda Strain (1971)" yesterday and it's pretty damn good :) Just love the way technology is used.
fun fact: as mentioned, Bruce Dern was the star of "Silent Running", his daughter Laura Dern was in Jurassic Park. bam.
I like how Yahtzee is making fun of Gabe's pronunciation immediately after saying "Nublar" wrong repeatedly.
yeah, especially considering he was wrong with "isla" as well (in Spanish it is pronounced "is-la", not "eye-la")
@@ludilka Fun fact: I have no idea how I knew the pronunciation of "Nublar." As of right now, I don't even know what it is. Maybe I googled it.
Fun fact 2: I feel like I should have known the pronunciation of "isla," so I don't know why I didn't mention that.
@@Mythraen well, that's what 6 years does to you, I guess!
"It was dumb, you trained dinosaurs and used them as units" he predicted Jurassic world.
Coolest part of that film, if we're honest.
Yahtzee is no longer allowed to make fun of people trying to do North accents. That Steve Irwin impression was god awful.
44:24 Gabe was right, that's how you pronounce "isla"
classic Yahtzee:
- doesn't know how to pronounce things (iirc, Gabe corrected him on pronunciation of "ennui");
- writes books.
@@ludilka don't forget:
- makes fun of Gabe for mispronouncing words despite mispronouncing quite a few
- says GoT spoiler, Gabe responds with something like "that was a great part," then yahtzee yells at Gabe for spoiling GoT
- says Gabe is "the living embodiment of the Dunning-Kruger Effect" despite that statement making no sense and feeling like pure projection.
@@Jrez to be fair, both of them end up saying their share of silly stuff through the entirety of LDO.
yeah but unlike Yahtzee, Gabe doesn't viciously harangue his co-presenter for every perceived error
Yahtzee's insistence on saying 'asshole' rather than 'arsehole', despite being English and living in Australia, is like sandpaper on my eardrums.
You know where you can find Dark Star? Piratebay.
Good job film industry...
Slow-talking Yahtzee sounds like he has taken a whole handful of valium. Or maybe it's just because I am so used to fast-talking Yahtzee.
About 5 years ago, I started writing some stories in a hypothetical world where it is proved that earthlings are the only living creatures ever existed and those stories take place in the era when only red dwarves could somehow provide energy for the last humans to survive since all other star types were dead.

Not sure how I feel about that
Full of sunshine and larks then, in both senses of the word ;) That sounds pretty cool, why not start a blog with them or something?
I guess I grew out of it.
It's not like I wrote actual stories anyway, more like "one initial story to describe the world and one post saying that I'll post more often in the future". Common for 20 year-olds I guess :P

I loved Operation Genesis for PC, But you didn't train dinosaurs like Yahtzee says. You just ran the park
"Oh my god they're learning.... they've built a helicopter!"
I lost it when Yahtzee started doing the impression. XD
Is it sad that these videos are the highlights of my Sundays?
It's a wonderful thing
Operation Genesis was just a park-building sim where you could breed dinosaurs and decide to set your carnivores loose to kill all your paying visitors on a whim. I think Yahtzee's thinking of a different game there.
Trespasser, probably.
@@theblackwidower Nope, that's an FPS. He's almost certainly thinking of Chaos Island: The Lost World.

It is now I have noticed that I've been using Let's Drown Out videos for sleep aid, Thanks Yahtzee!
It's been 5 years. Still no AAA rebellion.
The thing with the TF2 and why the sniper knows he's doing a job is because he's a hired gun.
Still waiting on that "Let's Drown Out... Saints Row 2" , Yahtzee :D
Looked up that film Yahtzee was talking about. I vaguely remember the ending from my childhood. The image of it. (My parents must have been watching it or something and I was just kinda "there")

0:12:17 Yay Blake Stone, I loved that game in the 90s
Operation Genesis was more of a park management game than an RTS.
Yahtzee, Gabe was right. It's pronounce 'is-la' ya knob'ed.
Yahtzee is such a tryhard about languages it hurts.
I played this game as a kid. I only explored the visitor center, the surrounding area and the small plateau to the north of it, because I was too affraid to die from surprise raptor attacks in the jungle areas.
A few years ago, I played it again on ZSNES, ventured all across the island... and got stuck on a mission objective. ^^;

Good god the nightmares I had from playing this as a child... Dat creepy music... The game mysteriously appeared in my library too.
I could never beat this game as a child, and the first person aspect of the game terrified me with the dinosaurs running into my face. This was when I was about 4-5 years old as well.
same
Yahtzee likes Logan's Run?! My man-crush on him is now bordering on stalker-ish. Oh, and that synopsis of Silent Running is freakin' priceless. Check out Duncan Jones' Moon if you haven't already.
Oh, and Gabe's right. Punch Drunk Love is surprisingly awesome.
"The stupid thing about that was you trained dinosaurs to work for you" how true those words ring now
Yahtzee's Steve Irwin impression is a joy that no man should miss.
Well, if you guys enjoy Dystopian Sci-fi future films, then if you haven't seen it, do try "Brazil". Directed by Terry Gilliam and starring Jonathon Pryce. The film also features:

Used to rent the shit out of this game, never knew what I was doing, just roamed about shooting dinosaurs.
Preferred the sega ones.

Holy shit this brings back memories, I remember this game kicking my ass repeatedly back when I was a kid
+MrAndersonLP Believe me. I saw the thumbnail and all the memories of this game kicking my ass came back all in one second xD.
Oh snap!
I always wanted this game when i was a kid!
Dan Carlson Yes but the mental 6 year old in the back of my mind is watching this with bright eyes and a fluttering heart.

"I don't know man, Dr.Schlongpenismcsunglasses said there was shit I had to do in here..."

Let's get a Yahtzee plays TF2 sniper as Steve Irwin video, please. That would be hysterical.
Always look forward to these on Sundays.
The "Meet the sniper" clip has a scene where he tries to explain his job to his parents. I can see why Yahtzee can relate to that.
"Welcome to jurassic park" SNES memories i will never forget :')

"Now it's Wolfenstein." Seems more like Silent Debugger to me
Im pretty sure Victor died in the cold. He was the only main character of the book the creature DIDN'T kill XD
Not trespasser? Missed a golden opportunity.
I remember playing this as a kid, wandering around for hours thinking "What the fuck do i do? Where the fuck am i supposed to go?".
come oooon yahtzee I was soooo hoping for your version of the "goldblum noises" after that intro =(
Yahtzee, don't you mean: "hi, I'm...uh... Jeff Gold... Uh...Jeff Goldbluum...uh
I fucking love Gabriel's raging lines of swears
Ahh, Jurassic Park. The memories, the pain....
Do LSD dream simulator. Shit's jacked.
That would actually be a really good choice for Drown Out. That game is both repetitive but sometimes visually interesting. All it ever requires you to do is walk around and touch things.

Dark Star is available on the AMC website. May not be available internationally.
Oh god, I was eating when I looked up Nate Myles. Food spilling everywhere to the sound of my raucous laughter.
It took me a while to remember Yahtzee brought up Hopkins FBI in this video and Retsupurae did a playthrough of it recently.

See, I'm not particularly convinced that the heat death would be the end of everything. Stuff would still _happen_, just at a much, much slower timescale. Intelligence or information processing might still exist as long as all computations are done reversibly without increasing entropy. In other words, "life" like us glorified heat engines wouldn't exist because entropy would be at a maximum, but consciousness might.
ILikeTheThingsIDo the current theory is that the universe will simply run out of energy to keep expanding and just reach a stand still and slowly die
I'm with Yahtzee on the whole "lives" thing. There's no reason to include them in any more now that we have autosaves, checkpoints, and whatnot. They don't add anything to the game. Even as far back as the SNES era they were a useless holdover from the arcade-style design where lives = quarters. Only reason I can think of that people still use them is the mindset that "It's a video game. Video games are supposed to have lives."
I remember the game that Yahtzee was talking about. There was a dinosaur RTS game where you had to find dinosaur eggs, collect and hatch them to help you fight.
For the life of me I can't recall it's title. It's not Operation Genesis though.
Well I'll be i think I found it en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jurassic_Park:_Chaos_Island
I find it funny that Yahtzee kept saying Galli-ME-mus, and Gabe kept trying to subtly make Yahtzee realize it was Galli-MY-mus by always using the word, properly pronounced, in his response.
20:29 Hey check out that allusion to the book! It's the dragon fractal on the background of that terminal.
I think the games that work the best are the ones where they can play and talk about topics but on the off occasion something interesting might happen, like the Just Cause 2 video and the Sims 3. They should do more of those games, and I wondered whether Crackdown would work for that just running round doing random things or possibly Assassin's Creed 1 just wandering through the Kingdom or even one of the cities and just mucking about, if not then something like Spyro, Crash Bandicoot or Jak & Daxter (although they are good games)
Love listening to these while playing Dark Souls 2.
Surprisingly enough, they had the same dual-game-mechanic all the way back in Fester's Quest. Top down walkabout while finding stuff, but you could enter some homes and it would go first person.
Congratulaions, I tried to squish you profile pic
"31 years and this is what breaks me." Lol. I identify with this.. In my case I'm 29 and it's my car not starting for months, after many hours of labor, but still.
My favourite class in TF2 is Soldier but outside game cake is taken by Heavy. Yes he's a psychopath loving war and brutality but he does that to be able to protect his family. He's propably 2nd most human person in game. 3rd one might be Demoman if not his talking sword.
The elderly have also got the market cornered on dumb car commercials as well.
What the hell was I talking about back then?
Gennaro was the lawyer, but when the name went by in this video I first thought "Hey... isn't that the lady who was sorta-married to John McClane in Die Hard?" Yep, her maiden name was Gennaro... except the internet now tells me that was a spelling error several times in the movie(s) and it should be Gennero.
Hooray! Listening material for the drive tomorrow.
I love the spy, the pyro and the SNOIPER
I'd love to see you guys play some Panasonic 3DO games!
"CRIKEY! This is a GAPER!
Genarro was the lawyer who got minced by the T-Rex
Yahtzee, have you read The Stars My Destination by Alfred Bester? It's a classic sci-fi re-telling of The Count of Monte Cristo, and it's damn good.
Jurassic Park the game actually takes a lot of cues from the book and not the movie. Like late in the game where you have to destroy an underground raptor nest using a special canister of nerve gas.
The flash game Gabe starts to talk about around 12:05 is Scale of the Universe.
Genero was the lawyer. I only know that because the hunter man in the film discovers a heavily dismembered body nearby Ian Malcolm
38:10
Glad that plot point never came up in a Jurassic Park movie... fuck.
This game was the time-sink of my youth. No saving, had to write down everything, make my own map and actually made me hate dinosaurs. -_- I loved it.
It's odd that the games that traumatized us in our youth now hold the most special of places in our nostalgic hearts. Stockholm syndrome i suppose.
