THE DOTS ARE THERE YOU JUST HAVE TO DRAW THE LINE LMFAO that had to be the most hilariously well placed line after a whole playthrough of comparing it to The Witness where the dots are literally there and you literally just have to draw the lines LMFAO
Gotta say this editing was excellent! Didn't interfere too much unless it's for good interjections and made everything keep a great pace for the viewer. Great cuts, fast-forwarding when it fits, subtitles for the books. High quality stuff!👍👍👍
30:48 Hahahhah 😂😂 This so perfectly encapsulates the frustration I remember having at this part! I legit had NIGHTMARES about this maze, one of very few games I ever had nightmares about. This puzzle broke 12-year old me.
This game sold so many CD ROM drives back in the day so people could play the game. Also, if you haven’t seen it, Ars Technica did a documentary about this game and the creator that is fascinating. Definitely worth the watch if you have the time. It’s under their video series called War Stories.
The editing was super well done! Always bothers me when a video cuts back in on the middle of a conversation with no context so I usually like the VOD style videos but this one was perfect!
oh gosh this was such a huge game back in the day. And it was a different time before the internet, we didn't have any walkthroughs, didn't have youtube videos to give us the answers. When we'd visit with other people who we knew also played Myst, we'd compare notes while meeting what things have I figured out, what things have you figured out... The other popular adventure game was Return to Zork but dang that game was so difficult, an especially given you can miss something early on and cause the game to be impossible to beat later on without restarting.
Myst was absolutely spellbinding and amazing for its time. But it just has NOT aged well. Not "like milk" bad, but.....more like improperly stored wine. Still drinkable, but it has an unpleasant, vinegar-like taste.
1:40 I really appreciate Barb referencing Conan O'Brien segments that haven't been on air for over 15 years. It helps counteract all the content creators who act like by the time you're 25 you already have one foot in the grave.
This was great. I hope you will play Riven too! It’s more difficult and more engaging. Although you will need to read the books, if you want to understand what's going on - but maybe you won't?
One of my first memories i have in a computer is putting the myst cd into the pc to install it and somehow that thing just cracked inside the pc hahahah Anyway, great content bro
Myst is the Banjo-Kazooie to Riven's Banjo-Tooie- *much* bigger & *much* more difficult. But if you enjoyed this Riven is a blast. Gotta say I'm not feeling the new character models- the environments are nice but the people just give me uncanny valley vibes. Still, thanks for playing. Was fun.
I got so lost on this game when i played as a kid. Now try the sequal, Riven. There was a fun little guide book that went through the story from the perspective of the stranger that you play as.
I remember watching my parents play myst and riven since I couldn't figure out the puzzles. I got myst 3 and was able to do most of it by myself. I had to prove to my dad that I solved the final puzzle without looking up a guide.
That was...well that was quite a fantastic ride, the environments are interesting the puzzles fascinating and the mechanical nature of the worlds contraptions quite cool. Barbs large and highly wrinkled brain cannot be beat!.....sometimes!......okay a lot but you succeed where it counts
Atlantis: The Lost Tales. Is a very infuriating game like this from 1991. Would be great content. The sun dial part made me want to sudoku as a young boy.
You missed one bonus area, I don’t remember how to get to it off the top of my head, but it’s not important, just a short area designed to show off the new graphics in the RealMyst remake (the version you’re playing) If you want to find it it’s called the Ryme Age and there should be a new book on the floor of the library that tells you about it after you’ve completed the game
no wonder I loved it so much when it originally came out... although I think some oh the atmosphere is lost in the 3D and lack of real life footage... but still great games all these years later... looking forward to the Riven remake...
I had this game on a computer as a kid. Never got anywhere with it. Hated it. Maybe I'd like it a bit more as an adult when I can actually figure some shit out, but I kind of doubt it.
There's this game that I think you would like playing after your Mario Week Marathon way in the future. You may have heard of it. It's an open world game that is basically very similar to Papers Please. The game is called ..... " Contraband Police " But I don't know. Maybe you didn't like Papers Please.
Almost everyone who writes about this game or makes a video about it goes on and on about how successful this game was. What nobody seems to remember that it was bundled with pretty much every new PC back when it was released.
Myst is sooooooo much better than the witness. Blow got it so wrong with the Witness imo. Especially as this game was already there for decades to learn from. Myst's puzzles are integrated into the function of the world and as such are world building, making the entire world far more intriguing and enjoyable to explore.
Holy crap you can play Myst free roaming? Originally you could just click forward and get another still. EDIT: Aw man, the videos of the brothers in the books were way better than this.
Myst was a great game for its time. You have to remember it came out at a time where most games solutions were completely nonsensical or just completely collectathons where every "puzzle" was usually get these items and try them on everything. The problem for me is the whole game is full of red herrings and dead ends. Also a lot of the puzzles can be brute forced. The ending was also bullshit. Reading the lore and trying to understand the characters was a waste of time.
My husband was the Myst speedrunner and every time this story comes up I cackle at him.
Chat: "Your brain is the weapon."
Barb: "But I'm out of ammo."
I disagree, that was pure witty genius.
I'm only 7 minutes in, but I'm already loving the edit, and the editor's comments. Fantastic work.
Give the editor a raise 👌😅
Riven is the sequel to this game. It's awesome, but yeah quite difficult.
what is gaslighting? "it means nothing, you're crazy" lmao
so good
Some people know what gaslighting is, some are just crazy.
This comment is underrated
22:26 The deliberate triggering of noisy-ass alerts is 👌
THE DOTS ARE THERE YOU JUST HAVE TO DRAW THE LINE LMFAO
that had to be the most hilariously well placed line after a whole playthrough of comparing it to The Witness where the dots are literally there and you literally just have to draw the lines LMFAO
The editing is absolutely phenomenal!
I genuinely love games that tell you the absolute bare minimum and just turn you loose after that
I absolutely love this video style! Big props to the editor for pacing everything so well.
you missed the fourth ending, where you enter the green book without bringing the white page with you.
Gotta say this editing was excellent! Didn't interfere too much unless it's for good interjections and made everything keep a great pace for the viewer.
Great cuts, fast-forwarding when it fits, subtitles for the books. High quality stuff!👍👍👍
This playthrough was fantastic, and the editing on this video is top notch!
The edits were amazing, editor did a perfect job, this makes Myst enjoyable
As much as I'd like to see more detail of time spent on every puzzle; I really enjoyed all the editing choices on this video!
I'm so glad this got uploaded, thank you!
Me too!
If only there was a game that was only audio puzzles Barb would gain thousands of subs 😂
30:48 Hahahhah 😂😂 This so perfectly encapsulates the frustration I remember having at this part!

Yeah it’s insane what they went through to make this game.
The editing was super well done! Always bothers me when a video cuts back in on the middle of a conversation with no context so I usually like the VOD style videos but this one was perfect!
This dude seriously luckboxed his way through one of the most annoying puzzles in the world.
Give a bonus to whoever edited this, this shit is hilarious
I JUST watched the Witness video again, is this a new one by the same editor? Excited to see it!
same editor, yes!
Is this from a.water? I'm sorry I can't remember her name or how it's spelled.
@@Twister-ul6tnno, aqueouswaters is the usual editor, idk if this editor's name has been mentioned yet but they did the The Witness video before this
@@hlantian7563 thank you for the answer
AMAZING EDIT MORE PLEASE
That was great, very funny playthrough, thanks of the upload! 👍
Barb you never disapoint! Unexpected, but very welcome.
I came for the dumb jokes, I stayed for the editing. 10/10 would watch again!
Never understood this game as a kid either, but loved it once I eventually got around to it as an adult
21:51 "I'm right; I'm just tone deaf." 😅
For some reason whenever I watch someone else play a new game it always looks so much more fun than if I'd tried to play it myself.
Please play the other myst games
oh gosh this was such a huge game back in the day. And it was a different time before the internet, we didn't have any walkthroughs, didn't have youtube videos to give us the answers.

or you'd call a 1-900 number or buy a walkthrough...
Myst was absolutely spellbinding and amazing for its time. But it just has NOT aged well. Not "like milk" bad, but.....more like improperly stored wine. Still drinkable, but it has an unpleasant, vinegar-like taste.
The genre of the game is "Point and click adventure" - @4:35
Your editor shouldve been mentioned in those long ass prince of persia credits. Hes that good
I never finished the game, and played it at release and the first remaster.
It is the
graphical embodiment of Zork
Love this, is there a VOD or something available?
The Walkabout Mini Golf version of this game is pretty great.
Barb's been knocking it out of the park with game picks recently!
Barb is smarts man alive.
1:40 I really appreciate Barb referencing Conan O'Brien segments that haven't been on air for over 15 years. It helps counteract all the content creators who act like by the time you're 25 you already have one foot in the grave.
This was great. I hope you will play Riven too! It’s more difficult and more engaging. Although you will need to read the books, if you want to understand what's going on - but maybe you won't?
Oh man I’m excited to watch this. I remember being like 9 trying to play this idk I was young and I was just so confused the entire time hahaha
I concur. Awesome user name beeteedubs, urr ure ruu
The "holy shit he got it" got me 😂
"First time I played Myst I was a kid..." *reads title* Well someone is a fucking liar. 🤥
Man, what memories this brings.
One of my first memories i have in a computer is putting the myst cd into the pc to install it and somehow that thing just cracked inside the pc hahahah
Anyway, great content bro
So what is this about Barb and hot ones?
This channel has always been good but damn the quality has improved a lot!
Myst is the Banjo-Kazooie to Riven's Banjo-Tooie- *much* bigger & *much* more difficult. But if you enjoyed this Riven is a blast. Gotta say I'm not feeling the new character models- the environments are nice but the people just give me uncanny valley vibes. Still, thanks for playing. Was fun.
Havent seen vid but having beaten myst forever ago in here for the "HUH" I expect to happen
I got so lost on this game when i played as a kid. Now try the sequal, Riven.
There was a fun little guide book that went through the story from the perspective of the stranger that you play as.

This game brings me back to my childhood. Hope you get an opportunity to try Riven as well.
GREAT video, so many funny moments
I beat this game a while ago. It was old then. Definitely upgraded the graphics in this version of the game.
Kudos to the editor 🤣
Atlantis: The Lost Tales. Is a very infuriating game like this from 1991. Would be great content. The sun dial part made me want to sudoku as a young boy.
Missed a great 3rd bad ending. Go into Atrus book without the necessary page and he yells at you for dooming you both.
You missed one bonus area, I don’t remember how to get to it off the top of my head, but it’s not important, just a short area designed to show off the new graphics in the RealMyst remake (the version you’re playing)

100x better than watching day9 on his first play through of Skyrim.
Watching this after the Hbomberguy essay on it is *very* funny!
13 minutes in, this is brilliant, been laughing my ass off
Cant find this video on twitch. Is there a link to this lets play there?
The *Curb* music. 😆
What version of Myst is this? I don't remember it being, like, animated. Wasn't it just still images and click to go somewhere else?
Fun video, I'm at the end and I'm sorry but up is on, always...lol
great editing
I did the ship by ear before I just counted
I had this game on a computer as a kid. Never got anywhere with it. Hated it. Maybe I'd like it a bit more as an adult when I can actually figure some shit out, but I kind of doubt it.
What did Barb do with Hot Ones?
I didn’t like how solving the puzzles just gave you more puzzles

Who did Barb lose a bet to? This game feels designed to torture him.

Barb now you have to play Riven!
lol! you play like i played, i am enjoying this!!
Barb at 21:26:
ua-cam.com/video/IzyTGeoYPLk/v-deo.html
Barb did you heard about new game Contra operation Galuga, check it out it's a great game that just came out
Man you gotta play the non remastwred one for maximum nostalgIa😂
Holy crap you can play Myst free roaming? Originally you could just click forward and get another still.
EDIT: Aw man, the videos of the brothers in the books were way better than this.
Forgot about this game.....

Dode has played Myst before lol
FUCK YEA I LOVE THIS GAME, PLAY RIVEN EXILE AND REVELATION TOO PLEASE
❤
9:38 Oh hey that's my handwriting!
Man, as a gigantic MYST fanboy, I can’t watch this.
the music part omg, not only colorblind, laso tone deaf 😅
You have a camera for a reason..USE IT!
hmm what to watch in bed to get sleepy, oh, a new Barb video, great! ok ok, nope, too funny, gotta go back to thab MM videos.
Play Riven!
Now play Pyst
...just play Mario Maker.
Tone down the editing please. Looked like a 1 hour UA-cam short
The quest 2 has this game. It's pretty awesome.
