Betus and I take a trip back to jolly ole England to see Alexander Morris, recent invitee to the Hades Club and fiancee to Anisette and her weird father do some investigations around a strange murder. Don't spoil it for us, but I think maybe vampires are involved.
I keep coming back to this trainwreck every Halloween.
"Coachman, why are we driving straight towards this Dracula?"
*Coachman turns around*
"BECAUSE AH'M A TERRORIST, GUVNA!"
Carriage bomb gift from the fennian
I love this hammed-up, community-theater-style acting. It's so much better than the atonal non-acting some other notoriously bad voice acted games have.
This carriage seems somehow out of time, a relic of a dark past, or perhaps a dark future.
+clamstain The face in the middle of the seat opposite keeps staring at me.
+clamstain Dr. Who is that you?
+sprybug Doesn't really matter who. But just The Doctor
+clamstain im pretty sure the hat may have murdered rita
It's a shame ElectricalBeast had to go into cab driving after the whole UA-cam thing didn't turn out well.
At least he hasn't had to use the teleport yet. ElectricalBeast is always up to his old tricks..
+Ricky Actually, I think that's exactly how we've been going from one end of London to the other in roughly 5 seconds. We're in the magical telepor' carriage we are!
He made a five minute carriage ride take a couple of seconds, clearly he's blessed by the toime gods.
So sad they didn't make a joke about him in this video, would have been the ultimate throwback
+BugPope He's still making good use of that teleport ability.
I am British and I can confirm that ALL the voice acting in this game is astonishingly accurate, especially Alexander Morris who does an uncannily good representation of an American pretending to be an Englishman pretending to be an American. Cor bloimey, more jellied eels on moi pork poi guvnor!
I DO SAY I DO BELIEVE THAT IT IS LIKELY THAT WE HAVE REACHED A LOCATION THAT YOU DESIRED AND EXPRESSED TO ME AND THAT WE SET OUT ON AND HAVE NOW REACHED ON MY CART THAT IS PULLED BY AN ANIMAL OF EQUINE NATURE THAT IS IN MY POSSESSION
GUV'NAH
"I'm pleased to say we've arroived at ouwr destinaytion, suhhr!
Now oi 'ave to pick up Mawio and go to Bowsehs Castle."
+pullahoko "Luckolee Mawio has the ability to control tiome."
+Nionivek BUT ONWEE ONCE!
TELEPOH'!
toem gods
+pullahoko BOWSAHS EVUL TEHST
"Sorry for any British people watching". Sorry, but, you are making, fun, of the way, we talk in, England. That is, unforgivable. Have a, good day. Sir.
"I'm so sorry British people that are watching"
It's fine. I'm already dead inside anyway.
+RaidenTheBloodEdge Aren't we all?
Being British has done that to me too.
+RaidenTheBloodEdge I think America had to give back most of the East Coast in repentance for this game. This is worse than a war crime.
+RaidenTheBloodEdge This wrongpurae just screams "Call Mr. DJB to do me!"
+RaidenTheBloodEdge I was born dead.
Diabetus having Sonic 06 flashbacks there at the beginning.
+sock2828 *PTSD
You beat me to it.
+jeri11a23 the "S" stands for Sonic.
+DarkSoulSama Post traumatic Sonic disorder? sounds about right.
Oim heppy to sey this wrongpurae has foinally arroived.
bloodborne dlc isn't looking too hot tbh
+TieTuesday this comment was made entirely based on the intro in the graveyard, now i just wish they'd stop setting games in the Vicboreian era
You're the best tie Tuesday wish you wher in this
+TieTuesday 👌
+TieTuesday cinematics look more realistic tbh
Framerate looks a little better
Oh it's being played by MadMatty. That guy's pretty cool.
You look like mad Matty
So far he has not disappointed me with all the games he has played.
+exiledPostman I thought Madmatty would retire from LPing after he won it big on Jeopardy
+exiledPostman no its /Y\ad /Y\atty
+GazzyW007 *Thinks about the answer*
Now where did I leave that chainsaw...
*Turns*
....Oh yeah....
*Smiles to the camera*
....Inside my ex-wife.
10:19 - Oh don't worry, Slowbeef, we're laughing at this almost as much as you are. A wonderful array of authentic London accents, authentically mixed with a severe concussion.
I think we all now owe Dick van Dyke an apology. His cockney accent was spot on compared to this.
+OptimusSledge The kicker is that even the supposedly Texan character doesn't sound particularly Texan. Although going from the rest of the game, if they'd tried that it would just have added a bad Texan cherry to the bad Cockney cake.
Most Texans have a pretty generic American accent, actually.
City Texans sound sort of close to GenAm due to proximity to the midwest but the Texan drawl is alive and well in more rural areas.
Turns out that when Dracula gets unleashed, he just leaves and everything gets kinda subdued but very English.
Dracula Unleashed? Does that mean he becomes a Were-Vampire and has a cute bat companion who likes chocolate?
+Lukethefox Damn, son, don't play with this, son. Have you seen PTSD, son? You don't want to see PTSD, son...
17:20 The driver suddenly became from Boston.
+Doperwtje Thank you for that comment, pea.
I never played that much of FMV games when they were coming out, but man, do I find them fascinating now. I cannot think of anywhere else where I have seen acting like THAT.
*DUN DUN DUN DUN*
7 o'clock, AM.
*DUN DUN DUN DUN*
It seems it wil take 5 minute to travel within Notting Hill.
*DUN DUN DUN DUN*
+AceAttorny Oh god, the Noir flashbacks!
"See, it's like Castlevania, but different and like a British detective show!"
I ripped the carriage sounds and I plan to blast them on the highway going to work today. I want to see what my co-workers say when they hear a terrible pseudo-British accent scream "OI'M HAPPY TO SAY THAT WE'VE FOINALLLY ARROIVED!"
+TimrodDX Well, the good news is I got to work last night and my boss reccomended me for a promotion. The bad news is that the "promotion" would require working 20+ hours of overtime a week so I think it's actually a subtle way of saying "I hate you".
Mind if I asked how you ripped them? I wanna get at these lines too.
Every time Slowbeef giggles, the world becomes a better place.
Fun fact: This game spawned a spin-off. It was a kart racer starring all the carriage drivers.
+TheOneTrueFingal I'd love it if that were called "Limey Cart" and you could throw random shit at people from your carriage.
It was poorly received, as it was the first and only racing game where you only see the inside of the vehicle. And a hat.
+BugPope Someone needs to make Limey Carta into a thing now, though, and do this some justice. Lol
+BugPope *clop clop clop clop clop* YOU'RE WINNER!
Goddammit now I wanna see this become a thing too.
Basic formula of this weongpurae:
*Carriage driver:* _(speaks.)_
*Slowbeef:* _(loses his shit, every time!)_
This game is just killing time in between carriage rides.
Sega CD: a bastion of unintentionally hilarious games.
Can't wait to hear Dracula talk about miserable piles of secrets
Posttraumatic Sonic Disorder for our dear Diabetus at the start there. Holy shit I actually lost it as soon as I heard the tone he said it in.
It's gonna turn out that all the off-screen "British" people were all voiced by the same guy, isn't it?
Pitch shifting just in case.
I kind of appreciate somewhat trying to stay true to the spirit of the original Dracula with the whole writing everything down in a diary thing, but it just doesn't translate well into a game. The diary/pasting thing worked in the book because the story is told through it, here it's just summaries of cutscenes and flavor text.
When I saw the name of the game. I thought it was about Dracula turning into a Hedgehog to get seven pieces of his Castle back.
Could've just called a building contractor at that point, seven pieces seems like a bit of a waste to "unleash" because of their loss.
Been watching this to go to bed to lately, something soothing about the carriage drivers
Love how at the start Betus panicked thinking it might be another sonic game.
No British people were harmed in the making of this game.
+IkersMcpherson420000 They used as many British people in making this as Jurassic Park used real dinosaurs
+Nuke Laloosh Now I wonder how many birds appeared in Jurassic Park.
+Boltscrap There's those pelicans at the end. And the horribly rendered CGI crow at the beginning of Jurassic World.
Slowbeef's weird little laugh at 11:01 makes me smile every time, for some reason.
AND WHERE WILL WE
BE OFF TO
THIS FINE DAY
You really missed an opportunity in getting Mr. DJB to guest commentate.
I'm really liking Slowbeef's crackups here.
It occurred to me that theres an Alexander, an Alfred, and an Arthur in this game; as well as a Harker, a Holmwood, and a Horner.
Only just the first part and Slowbeef is already going full blown into his giggle fits. This pleases me. :)
Also I think both Beef's and Beetus' accents are more convincing then the ones in this game.
This video should've been titled "Messlevania: Dracula's Fun Carriage Ride"
The newspaper guy is the best character in this game. Sorry, carriage drivers.
This might be the best RP series... Then again Darkseed 2 was the magnus opus.
I agree Darkseed 2 is painfully boring not sure why people liked it so much. I watched a highlights video of the series and that made it tolerable, boring still but tolerable.
And what will... Beef and Betus... be wrongpuraeing... this fine day?
Diabetus seems to have Post Traumatic Sonic Disorder.
Oh god this is already glorious. See, slowbeef, you're a lot funnier when you're not playing video games and only watching them. This is important.
Why are Hazama players always such
unrepentant dickheads
I like that word by the way, I think I'll keep it.
calvinjluther It's an upperclassmen or something in Japanese. Usually a dumb anime trope where some ditzy idiot girl wants to impress the retarded oblivious dude a grade higher than her for "romantic" badly-written and executed reasons.
Whoa, that bookshop owner is definitely a discount Josh Radnor.
Not an episode of MST3K, but an incredible simulation!
Let's 'ave a carriage ride!
and where willl WE BE off to. THIS FINE daaaay!
This is making Phantasmagoria 2 look like The Exorcist O_o
Compared to most FMV games "A Puzzle of Flesh" is a progressive masterpiece.
Ellie Eyegore You make a point.
'Disco dance! DISCO DANCE!'
I guess MadMatty never stopped doing game shows. It's time for a fun game of:
GUESS! THE! ACCENT! (*applause*)
Is the twist going to be that we're already dead?
'Cuz we sure act like it.
Omae wa mou shindeiru.
How do you say that in fake Cockney?
+AnOddGhost That's fine, I think our carriage driver has the power to turn back toime! (But only once.)
All I want for Christmas is Retsupurae. At least I know Ridley will show up and destroy my presents. IT'S A LIVIN'
By the name of Dracula Unleashed, I was excepting a vampire themed Sonic game.
+Valdetiosi Well, in Sonic Unleashed his new transformation did *suck*
Gentlemenhugs
At least I hope Dio to appear.
+Valdetiosi It's not nearly as good as Dracula Generations.
ccricers
Is this better than Dracula game on SNES?
Eh, still bound to be better than Draculur's Curse, at least...
The more I stare at the coach's seat cushion, the more i see a heard of elephants.
Every time Diabetus goes "Ahhhhhh" it's hilarious.
Sounds silly but I am kind of glad I never played or watched this game before. Sometimes knowing what the letsplayer is doing wrong or skipping really hurts these. Everytime I hear "How were we supposed to know to do that?" I want to chime in "Oh, the letsplayer skipped the tapestry where you could read it!" This time? Completely blind. "How were we supposed to know that?" will be answered with "I dunno"
I did wonder that about Prisoner of Ice. Like, it wouldn't have made the puzzle better, but were there any hints about how to get through the library?
tritiumH3 There were hints in the library... but make no mistake Prisoner of Ice is not a very good game.
Holy shit, these are some "Deep Freeze"-tier performances!
Ladies and Gentlemen, We have the video game equivalent to "Electralbeast"
"Carriage roide n all."
Finally, a non-offensively bad game, just what I need. This'll be a treat.
What's your trigger baby? Mine is 32. calibers.
Valdetiosi Mine is Iblises. Multiple Iblisi.
YouSoSpice
Billy is my other trigger.
and where will. we be off to. this fine day.
E sawnds just loik us 'ere British maytes. Bladdy mahvelus!
Oh my god these opening credits go with O Fortuna perfectly.
One of my biggest regrets was when I was like 6 or 8, my family went to see Carmina Burana live and I didn't go because lol opera. If I had a time machine I would go back and smack myself in the head
I'd like to think that the cab drivers are actually carrying Alex Morris piggyback while wearing clogs. Clop clop clop clop - we've arrived sir
u avin a giggle m8?
You 'avin a laugh?
Quit takin' a piss mate, we've got 'orrible actin' to record!
As an English person, this game still has better accents than most of the Aus /English accents I keep hearing from American shows.
Wait, the newsie guy is going to a bar called "The Saucy Jack"? As in one of the other names for Jack the Ripper, whose murder spree was just 11 years ago at the time this game takes place? Too... soon?
Aaaand the bar is an actual location in the game. Go figure.
Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?!
Not at all!!!! They could be carried.
+cartmann94 What? A swallow carrying a coconut?
+The Chaos Dragoness It could grip it by the husk.
thor30013 It's not a question of where he grips it! it's a simple matter of weight ratios! A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut.
I think you guys should check out Gabriel Knight 2: The Beast Within. It's a point and click where you play as a hybrid Matthew McConaughey/Tommy Wiseau exploring Germany solving a case about werewolves. With acting at a level close to a soap opera targeted for middle-aged moms.
Actually, nevermind.
Okay, now Lords of Shadow is getting just plain ridiculous.
Persona 4: Laughing all Night
I have not laughed this hard in a long time. Holy hell...great work Beetus and Beef!
The guy when he answers the driver and says the time sounds like Data or something.
(also...the middle of the carriage seat, above and left of Mr. Hat looks like a grumpy bunny)
And where wiLL, *WE* be OFF TO? THIS fine dAY?
One of my favorites tbh.
It almost feels like this was supposed to be an original movie or miniseries shot on budget for PBS, but they lost half the footage and made a point and click adventure on the wrong platform out of what was left.
The next series should be sonic boom, and diabetuus should play it as an revenge by slowbeef
I was expecting the bartender with no name to show up at any moment and tell Alexander hed won a
stranger
it's always nice when a game really gets slowbeef laughing.
"And where should I take you today Sir?"
"I don't care as long as I hear slowbeef pissing himself laughing at the actor's overblown accent"
That livestock death article... maybe it's not Dracula, and the bad guy is actually the Chupacabra?
13:05 Holy crap, was the cab driver just learning to read or something?
+David Adamson It's a self-driving carriage and we were talking to the satnav.
Nick Farmer Ah! NOW it makes sense!
"Take a look at me timepiece it got flowers on it!" _The best callback yet_
Alexander pulls out his Magic Carriage Driver.
*...THIS FINE DAY*
Ha love it
It's really about the adventures of the hat, honestly.
I was honestly expecting John Cleese or Eric Idle to pop up somewhere amidst all this silly British
You can't have actual British people in this game, though.
+BugPope But they're really good at pretending to be British.
....Are we watching the same game?
These drivers make Electrical Beast sound like james bond.
"It's only 10:30 in the morning?"Clearly you don't like yourself a fine beer slowbeef
This is one of the most MST3K episodes ever
I feel like this protagonist is the only sane man. The expressions on his face, instead of dull like alot of fmv protags, seems lively when need be and is to covey concern and "WTF is wrong with these people?"
It's loik oim actually in Landan it is. Oi aven't felt this Bri'ish since oi watched Keanu Reeves play a Bri'ish bloke in Dracula.
Jonathan Harker is in Dracula, yes, but so is Arthur Holmwood and Quincey Morris and John Seward. And Harker did name his son Quincey. The Bloofer Lady? Also from Dracula.
So at first, I thought this was some wink wink nudge nudge NAMED AFTER DRACULA THINGS type of game, but it's sounding more like a sequel to Dracula. Narrated by Electrical Beast.
Man the mustache guy looks appealing for this halloween.
Ah yes, the "electricalbeast" brand of cabs
I did not think that your riff of "It came from the Desert" could be topped, but this series of videos has done it. My brother and I lose it every time the carriage driver comes on.
This voice acting is the greatest thing to bless this goddamn planet.
My god I own this for DOS and very briefly attempted to play it as a child. I have it in a box somewhere around here. No one in our family ever remembered buying it, we weren't sure how we got it.
