yeh, a whole LOT of falling out. Silent Hill..... Metal Gear...... Fox Engine....... Konami's soul....... a photo of him hanging out with David Cage............
"We're going to make this story about futuristic stuff in space, it'll have all this advanced technology and shit." "What year should we say it is?" "Let's just put it like 15-20 years from now. That'll be enough."
There's no correct answer when you have to set a year for your sci-fi story, unless you do a Numenera style "so far in the future that time doesn't even matter anymore" shit. Or you're GitS.
Luckee Strikee - In the cases where the writer is putting the scenario of "Our world x years later" while there may be no "correct" answer if they're going for highly advanced technology anything under 100 years is just ridiculous.
Super Best Friends... you may be disbanded, but I want you all to know... I want everyone to know... this is one of the best Let's Plays of all time. Ever. Period. Unrivaled.
I know what the original piece of Policenauts art that it's referencing looks like, but it's really looks like Woolie's rubbing one out behind his raised legs there.
WOOLIE leans back in his chair, his feet on the mahogany desk in front of him. Across the desk, a sweating NORASUKO nervously fidgets with the armrests on the wooden chair he was offered when he came in. Although we cannot see him, PAT stands outside the door. WOOLIE begins speaking, still looking at the ceiling of his office. "Ordinarily, cowardly midgets make terrible guards. Most people would see Pat standing out there, they figure they could take him out quick, make a run for it. It's a wide desk; takes a second to get around it. They think to themselves, "I only got one chance, but if I'm fast, I can make it." That's why the chief gave him a gun." WOOLIE lowers his head, making eye contact with NORASUKO. After a long moment, NORASUKO opens his mouth to speak, but WOOLIE cuts him off. "You fuck little boys, 'Suko?" NORASUKO shakes his head, his eyes twitching. "What the hell are you talking about, detective? You take that back or I swear, I'll sue the entire department." >Truth >Doubt *>LIE* WOOLIE reaches into a drawer on the desk and pulls out a large manilla envelope, tossing it lazily onto the desk in such a way that the contents spill out. Within are several samples of Norasuko's work, each depicting a minor in a sexually explicit situation. A blur effect is used to obscure the genitalia. NORASUKO panics and launches into a defensive rant. "You don't understand, man, this is just art, haven't you ever heard of the sanctity of art around here? You think just because I'm a pedophile I go around fucking kids? I've never laid a hand on--" WOOLIE interrupts the agitated NORASUKO with a wide grin. "Hey, don't worry about it. You're free to go. In fact, the boss told me to give this to you, a little gift to show our appreciation..." WOOLIE reaches again into the desk, this time retrieving a small, red leather briefcase. He puts it on the desk, opens it up, and spins it around. Within are several rolls of pink bills- Canadian fifties. "All yours, my friend. Just go ahead and paint us a little picture when you find some free time, alright?"
Kojima's weird fascination with comatose incidents that lasts decades started in this game... Tbh I kinda like the idea of that grim and melancholic impact on a person. I would freak out if one day I woke up in a coma as a 46 year old man and see flying transport pods and robots as the norm, everyone I know have lives drastically changed.
Pretty sure Woolie was referencing the Death of Louis Slotin, A physicist who worked on the Manhattan project. He was doing a demonstration with a Plutonium Core and slipped with a screwdriver and intiated a fission reaction which blasted him with a huge amount of radiation and he died 9 days later. Could be wrong though but it does fit into the whole line of thinking how one very very minor mistake can have horrible consequences.
Ive come back to this playthrough a few times when Im going to sleep. Its pretty chill. Recently saw someone else streaming this game and came back here again. Also noticed in the credits that Jeremy Blaustein worked on the game. Hes the brother of the english voice of Meowth (rip). Passed away from an infection due to not being able to recieve care. Really sad.
Call me funny but I've always love the look of the 80's/90's mullet-esque hairstyles on characters like Superman or Nightwing. The look in the intro at 7:24 hits me just right and I'm not afraid to say it.
Holy crap! This reminds me I never finished Snatcher. It was like years ago I had to mess around with getting a CD that had the correct music and everything.
"too bad reading is not good for LPs" they said in the Pyre one off, as they proceed to LP an actual visual novel with as few gameplay in it. (And Matt doing an LP of an eroge VN on in own channel)
Holyshit this was 2017?? i remember this like it was yesterday! One of the best LP's ya'll have EVER done. I came back here because i'm currently playing Metal Gear solid and ran into Policenauts and just had to exprerience this magic again... Lets start the show...
I'm super happy about this playthrough cause I've tried playing this game for myself but the gameplay wasn't for me, but the story and setting are amazing Going through it with friends is the way to go
Man...that cutoff point "...to all these future people he must look like a massive dork." "Yeah...trying to hard, probably" immediately cuts to Wooly in the end card.... ...just found the situation amusing.
Killer Ryno I just beat it again 2 players like a month ago on the PS4 version. I never did all the Flashback missions so I never played Army of the Dead(think thats what it is). I guess that confirms Cleon didn't make it out.
It's amazing how advanced people thought we'd be at the beginning of the 21st Century, through sci fi. Space travel and colonisation, Robots, Mega Cities... Instead we have iPads and Fidget Spinners... *Sigh*
Wait, so this Ingram character hates the new cigarettes because they don't do smoke. Man, you know he would get one of those modified vape things that unleashes a ludicrous amount of overly sweet smelling smoke.
What I love about the PCs love for the past and all his weird obsessions with old busted tech is that he's the hipster we have all made fun of in this channel
"Space Yakuza? In LA?" Unlikely, while there are Yakuza in the States, most if not all of them are in Hawaii. Which may or may not have to do with the fact the US Government will not tolerate their shit, but i'm merely guessing about that aspect. If we are talking Space Colonies, I'd expect more the Italian Mafia, Triad, or the Bratva than the Yakuza.
Woolie, that Buddha is named Dharma, or Daruma is Japan. He's the founder of Zen Buddhism (Chan Buddhism in China), Shaolin Kung Fu, and green tea culture.
It's not space related, but the whole discussion about the "guy reached down to pick up a screw" thing made me instantly think of the Byford Dolphin diving bell accident. One miscommunication about when to open a clamp connecting the diving bell to a decompression chamber resulted in the instantaneous deaths of five people from an explosive decompression, which caused one of the divers to be forced through a twenty-four inch gap between a door and its frame when the chamber he was in went from nine atmospheres to one in a faction of a second. A far less gruesome--though no less tragic--case of decompression led to the deaths of the three cosmonauts of Soyuz 11, who died of asphyxiation when a faulty valve and pair of explosive bolts depressurized their reentry vehicle when they were about a hundred miles above the Earth. So far, they are the only human beings to have ever died in space.
Well, from what Russia wants you to think There's been accounts of tons of cosmonauts that have reportedly died during reentry that the USSR covered up; like there's a chilling radio communication i found once on another site from a female cosmonaut moments before she burned up in the atmosphere. According to the translation, she kept yelling that her capsule was "Hot! Hot! It's getting very hot! It's hard to breathe! Hot!" or like... something along those lines. _"I see the Earth! I'm coming home...!"_
I've heard of that recording, too. It was one of a number that were recorded by a pair of Italian amateur radio enthusiasts who were famous for recording actual covert Soviet spaceflight experiments. However, the "Lost Cosmonauts" tends to get rebuked, since there are several inconsistencies in the recordings that make them look especially dubious. For instance, the supposed cosmonauts don't use the correct communication protocols, and general technical inconsistencies (such as the pilots of a vehicle that was incapable of going beyond low-Earth orbit suddenly declaring that they were going into "deep space") are rife in the recordings as well. In all likelihood, they are rather sloppy hoaxes. That said, the Soviet Union _did_ cover up deaths that were related to the space program, such as the death of Cosmonaut Valentin Bondarenko, and attempted to cover up a very serious accident during the development of a Soviet moonshot rocket, the N-1. One of the rockets went up but came back down on its landing pad, resulting in one of the largest non-nuclear explosions in recorded history, along with many deaths on the ground. Naturally, this one was pretty much impossible to cover up, but the Soviets tried anyway. But pretty much all evidence of deaths _in space_ has been debunked or is considered to be highly, highly dubious.
Also, Woolie! In the beginning, you are referencing the Demon Core (Google it for the full details), particularly I believe the first case it was involved in, where during manual tungsten block assembly around the core, a block slipped and caused a reaction to take place, radiating everyone in the room and killing the man (a Physicist, I believe) who was responsible. ):
Kojima had a small love affair with the visual novel genre after the first Metal Gear, out of which came his Terminator-Bladerunner crossover fanfic called Snatcher and Basically Lethal Weapon in Space (Policenauts). They're both really great.
+gaminggoddess85 Thank you for the additional information, I'm looking that up right now, sounds rad as shit! :) The more I saturate myself in Pure Kojima, the likelier I am to survive winter. My survival stats have increased. If I could teleport you what I like to call a "Full Picard" bergamot breakfast tea of thanks (currently 6 AM UK time), I would.
Do we have a Joestar who's a detective? I want this blue-haired Jonathan to be a Joestar. His stand could be The Police... Also, is Jonathan supposed to be a pseudo Martin Riggs from Lethal Weapon 1, because that mullet. Also the cigarette hanging from his mouth is very similar look and obviously they're both affiliated with the LAPD. Also, the Beretta was Riggs' choice weapon as well... Ok, so a quick look at the wiki confirms the Lethal Weapon inspiration.
Pat! Woolie! Super useful gameplay tip! There is a button to snap to targets during shootout segments! I remember playing a translated version years ago, and a shootout segment near the end of the game is damn near impossible just using only the d-pad.
I'm not sure if the Best Friends missed it or are just being themselves, but did they not see the red cut aways to someone tampering the EMPS then Ingram having this "accident"? And why does this Ingram look like the Ingram in Super Robot Wars?
Lethal Weapon in Space! Also the reason for Smoking in Noir is it sets the tone that this area is dangerous. Day to Day is life threatening and there is no reason to worry about cancer in 30 years when life expectancy is listed in months.
>gets to the photo with all the policenauts and gets all the dialogue >finds the photo with his best friend forever, Ed, and just fucking leaves it >skips text on the newspapers but only sometimes so you miss maybe interesting stuff Aw yeah! Woolie playing video games can't wait!
I'm overjoyed you're doing this. Tried to watch someone else's and couldn't finish it. On another note, my order of FFVII Extra Knights set, minus RedXIII, should be arriving monday!!!! Oh! Yays for days!!!
Sometimes you have to shake Kojima to see what falls out.
Zombies, apparently
Richter The D NOOOOOOOO
yeh, a whole LOT of falling out.
Silent Hill..... Metal Gear...... Fox Engine....... Konami's soul....... a photo of him hanging out with David Cage............
Lethal Weapon *IN SPACE* apparently...
Kojima !! Were still play your throwbacks !!
Even though they are gone, I still enjoy this series again and again.
What happened to them?
@@legattostacatto4805 watch their [FINAL] video. Matt and Patt became unfriends, and that kinda sealed the date of the channel. :-(
R.I.P. SBFP
@@TonyBMan yeah Man after i asked i saw the video. It sucks hard. I used to watch giant bomb but everyome left
This entire episode took place in practically a single screen
"We're going to make this story about futuristic stuff in space, it'll have all this advanced technology and shit."
"What year should we say it is?" "Let's just put it like 15-20 years from now. That'll be enough."
Can't wait for that Techno-Renaissance in 2027.
For the games set in like 2200, they are going to be like, ha, sure, civilisations survived. What schmucks we were.
There's no correct answer when you have to set a year for your sci-fi story, unless you do a Numenera style "so far in the future that time doesn't even matter anymore" shit. Or you're GitS.

THE DISTANT FUTURE
THE YEAR 2000
This game is basically sci-fi Lethal Weapon. Jonathon Ingram and the other guy's designs are based off of Mel Gibson and Danny Glover
I was just about to make a comment asking if Jonathon is supposed to be based off of Riggs from Lethal Weapon.
Kojima's other visual novel game is essentially a love letter to Terminator and Bladerunner at the same time. Kojima sure has a favorite movie type.
WE HAVE LEFT DEPRESSION ARC. LONG LIVE CRIME ARC
FRIENDSHIP ENDED WITH DEPRESSION ARC
TheSharklionBeast
That's 'Cryme' not Crime
Minecraft Story Mode existing is a crime in-itself
fucking crunchyroll subs
We've been in the crime arc since Yakuza 0. The last couple weeks were just an interlude.
Rewatching this in 2023 and seeing the far future of 2010 is throwing me even harder than 6 years ago
WOOLIE THE MASTER DETECTIVE CONTINUES HIS STREAK OF STOPPING CRIMES

You so Kewl Joe!
More like Master Defective. I just wanted a pun.
. . . that he commits.
Now in the future

Its crazy that this is still one of the best ways to experience Policenauts
Boy do I love lethal weapon
get me a mel gibson space cop movie ASAP
I'm surprised they didn't get that, the photo of him and Ed look almost exactly like lethal weapon.
*rethal weapon
Except 3
I am legitimately shocked by how shamelessly they were Riggs and Murtaugh.
Oh thank god it's not another telltale game
Don't say that. It could have been Tales from the Borderlands!
Master Ofu the day they play tales from the borderlands is the day i can finally die
Woolie couldn't put the badge down, but he did become far more washed up and drunk on anime in the meantime.
David Kociu I'm just sick of Walking Dead I've just never been able to get into it.
Still waiting for Sam and max.
Yo that's some fresh ass art in the thumbnail
Norasuko does a lot of fresh ass art. If you know what I mean.
the *freshest* of asses
I know what the original piece of Policenauts art that it's referencing looks like, but it's really looks like Woolie's rubbing one out behind his raised legs there.
Okay, but when can I get the uncensored version of that thumbnail?
RollCritFail That's Patreon exclusive.
May the Cryme Era be long and prosperous.
Started rewatching this let's play in July of 2020. Miss you guys.

Good Morning very underrated comment.
I didn't know who that was and I regret searching who that was man
An lp to surpass Metal Gear
And Konami probably won't slap this one down at least.
Kojima's weird fascination with comatose incidents that lasts decades started in this game...
Tbh I kinda like the idea of that grim and melancholic impact on a person. I would freak out if one day I woke up in a coma as a 46 year old man and see flying transport pods and robots as the norm, everyone I know have lives drastically changed.
Man these city hunter anime art style where people look semi-realistic. Bring these back!
Never realized Kojima loved Lethal Weapon so much
He loves every 80s Hollywood movie SO MUCH!!!
Is this the start of the "Ore No Waif" arc?
For anyone curious, the name of the Russian newspaper, "Pravda", translates to "Truth" and is a real newspaper company.
Was a real newspaper company
It was also the official newspaper of the Party during the USSR days.
The Crime Arc may be over, but Space Crimes is just beginning.
Oh my god that default Cassio keyboard *doot* being front and centre of the soundtrack is incredible :D
This week on Lethal Weapon in Space: *THE HYPEST OFFICE SCROUNGING EVER*
Pretty sure Woolie was referencing the Death of Louis Slotin, A physicist who worked on the Manhattan project.

Could be wrong though but it does fit into the whole line of thinking how one very very minor mistake can have horrible consequences.
I think they're referring to this en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1980_Damascus_Titan_missile_explosion
"that's the vesuvius man"
Almost Pat, Almost
Ive come back to this playthrough a few times when Im going to sleep. Its pretty chill. Recently saw someone else streaming this game and came back here again.
Also noticed in the credits that Jeremy Blaustein worked on the game. Hes the brother of the english voice of Meowth (rip). Passed away from an infection due to not being able to recieve care. Really sad.
The Cryme Time arc still lives. I'll be mad if we don't get no Warriors LP after this.
Lucas Martinez They better come out to plaaaayyyy
Lucas Martinez be ready for the possibility to be mad
AW YES, MOST UNDERRATED KOJIMA GAME
Super Pochaco I have never seen this game before, but it looks cool enough so far to agree with that statement.
Cobalt Plated like everyone knows about Snatcher, and Boktai has a small but devoted following. Nobody knows ANYTHING about Policenauts.
Wait, Boktai is a Kojima game?
Was it his idea to put a light sensor on that thing?
Your profile pic gives me hope for the human race.
Super Pochaco tits
NOW THIS IS A POLICE ADVENTURE I CAN WATCH
Call me funny but I've always love the look of the 80's/90's mullet-esque hairstyles on characters like Superman or Nightwing. The look in the intro at 7:24 hits me just right and I'm not afraid to say it.
With all these crime and detective games, my only question is....
WHEN ACE ATTORNEY?!?
I was just thinking that the other day. Also because your avatar is Ratatosk I have to say fuck you because that game was terrible.
i think they all played then all.
gaminggoddess85 yes, tis an odd symbol I wear, but one I wear with pride!
I wouldn't take pride in wearing a huge mary sue in what was essentially a Tales of Symphonia fanfic.
When's dual destinies?
Instantly was like, ok Slowbeef talk better happen, I'm looking forward to this.
Holy crap! This reminds me I never finished Snatcher. It was like years ago I had to mess around with getting a CD that had the correct music and everything.

Woolie is referring a couple of incidents with a screwdriver and the Demon Core, an object which absolutely deserves its name.
"I was so wrong so quickly."
The most defining characteristic of the Best Friends Zaibatsu.
So do we protect our cryme or bust it?
YES!
Pistolhappyman a little bit of both honestly.
They were polices... They were astronauts... They were called... Polices in Space.
Truly we are .... Space-cop-nauts.
I'm super happy about this playthrough cause I've tried playing this game for myself but the gameplay wasn't for me, but the story and setting are amazing
Going through it with friends is the way to go

Adachi Tohru That's the cherry on the Cryme Cake
Adachi Tohru When can we confirm this is happening? That game is stellar.
LoganTheLiberator98 The timing for a Warriors LP is perfect being the Cryme Era and stuff.
I want it. You want it. We all want it.
Killer Ryno I just beat it again 2 players like a month ago on the PS4 version. I never did all the Flashback missions so I never played Army of the Dead(think thats what it is).
I guess that confirms Cleon didn't make it out.
You know a game is deep when you dont even leave your chair in the first 30 minutes of gameplay.
Man, you guys are starting STRONG with 'Stanley Kubrick was way up his own ass.'
I am so grateful for the chance to see Woolie blossoming into the beautiful youtube flower that he is today. Thank you Woolie.
OK but where do I get the OST for this game though???
Awwwwwww yes. Pat and Woolie hittin' the oldies. You're doing God's work, dudes.
It's amazing how advanced people thought we'd be at the beginning of the 21st Century, through sci fi. Space travel and colonisation, Robots, Mega Cities... Instead we have iPads and Fidget Spinners... *Sigh*
You overestimate our power!
I miss when the best friends were still around and were still cool.
"They were cosplaying Jonathan and Erina" I'm sorry Pat? You mean the true OTP Jonathan and Dio.
Put this in my top 5 favorite best friends LP
Less than 30 seconds in...
Pat: "It's the Vesuvius Man!"
YOU'RE WRONG, PAT!
31 minutes and nothing happened! I have never seen and heard of this game but so far it looks very interesting. Looking forward to see more.
Woolie was born thick skin. He's gonna clean up the streets of Miami whether crime likes it or not!
Wait, so this Ingram character hates the new cigarettes because they don't do smoke. Man, you know he would get one of those modified vape things that unleashes a ludicrous amount of overly sweet smelling smoke.
4:07-4:10 and 4:14-4:16. If you've seen the ending to policenauts, you know how deep this foreshadowing is here.
Crazy how people are still watching their old stuff. Hello friend
Crazy talk so strong it made this game come out 4 years before mgs
I just love how they spent all episode on the first screen
That is Kojima for you
Wow, an entire episode of one image, it's going to be a looooong playthru.
I'm getting Big O and Cowboy Bebop vibes from this.

If I were him if be like "25 years is a long time. Boy, my gun sure does look delicious"
Woolie, that Buddha is named Dharma, or Daruma is Japan. He's the founder of Zen Buddhism (Chan Buddhism in China), Shaolin Kung Fu, and green tea culture.
And green tea culture, also. It's important to remember.

Yes, Kojima games
Ahh, good to see the Zaibatsu playing Hideo Kojima's "Let's see if I can get away with selling a Patlabor fanfic."
I miss the Wooly and Pat combo. .,_.
FINALLY, a good game! I just finished this a few weeks ago too, good shit Best Friends.
HOW HAVE I NEVER SEEN THIS? What the FUCK. This is AMAZING.
Also, Woolie! In the beginning, you are referencing the Demon Core (Google it for the full details), particularly I believe the first case it was involved in, where during manual tungsten block assembly around the core, a block slipped and caused a reaction to take place, radiating everyone in the room and killing the man (a Physicist, I believe) who was responsible. ):
Kojima had a small love affair with the visual novel genre after the first Metal Gear, out of which came his Terminator-Bladerunner crossover fanfic called Snatcher and Basically Lethal Weapon in Space (Policenauts). They're both really great.
effluviah because it was buried next to ET games in Mexico
+gaminggoddess85 Thank you for the additional information, I'm looking that up right now, sounds rad as shit! :) The more I saturate myself in Pure Kojima, the likelier I am to survive winter. My survival stats have increased. If I could teleport you what I like to call a "Full Picard" bergamot breakfast tea of thanks (currently 6 AM UK time), I would.
That last sentence lines up perfectly with the title card.
Do we have a Joestar who's a detective? I want this blue-haired Jonathan to be a Joestar.
His stand could be The Police...
Also, is Jonathan supposed to be a pseudo Martin Riggs from Lethal Weapon 1, because that mullet. Also the cigarette hanging from his mouth is very similar look and obviously they're both affiliated with the LAPD. Also, the Beretta was Riggs' choice weapon as well...
Ok, so a quick look at the wiki confirms the Lethal Weapon inspiration.
Straight up, straight up!
_Freeze!_
His stand is the fat guy in uniform shooting people only who do crimes or have criminal past.
vitruvian man, pat. vitruvian. 30 seconds in, and you're already wrong about something.
Local Hentai draws black man.
Pat! Woolie! Super useful gameplay tip! There is a button to snap to targets during shootout segments!
I remember playing a translated version years ago, and a shootout segment near the end of the game is damn near impossible just using only the d-pad.
I'm not sure if the Best Friends missed it or are just being themselves, but did they not see the red cut aways to someone tampering the EMPS then Ingram having this "accident"?
And why does this Ingram look like the Ingram in Super Robot Wars?
They interpreted the red cut was someone (Jonathan?) making a mistake in maintaining the suit, the opposite of what it was actually showing.
Lethal Weapon in Space!
Also the reason for Smoking in Noir is it sets the tone that this area is dangerous. Day to Day is life threatening and there is no reason to worry about cancer in 30 years when life expectancy is listed in months.
Why is poor papa Pat not in the opening card ;_;
Pls stop this Pat Erasure
>gets to the photo with all the policenauts and gets all the dialogue
>finds the photo with his best friend forever, Ed, and just fucking leaves it
>skips text on the newspapers but only sometimes so you miss maybe interesting stuff
Aw yeah! Woolie playing video games can't wait!
