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.
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.
"Coachman, why are we driving straight towards this Dracula?"
*Coachman turns around*
"BECAUSE AH'M A TERRORIST, GUVNA!"
Carriage bomb gift from the fennian
0:20 O Fortuna Opening Credits
1:04 "I've heard of Dracula."
2:05 New Year's Party at the Cemetery
3:23 they kept in the outtakes
4:46 "HE'S UNLEASHED!"
6:37 dramatic 7AM music
7:01 Where will Betsy take Mr. Hat today?
7:51 singing corpse
8:13 "There's her neck"
8:41 British carriage submarine
9:51 "We're off, sir!"
11:03 nosy lady
13:05 "And where will...we be off to...this fine day?!"
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!
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
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.
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.
One of my favorites tbh.
"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.
The newspaper guy is the best character in this game. Sorry, carriage drivers.
"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
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.
"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.
Been watching this to go to bed to lately, something soothing about the carriage drivers
Sega CD: a bastion of unintentionally hilarious games.
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.
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.
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
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...
Every time Slowbeef giggles, the world becomes a better place.
Basic formula of this weongpurae:
*Carriage driver:* _(speaks.)_
*Slowbeef:* _(loses his shit, every time!)_
This game is just killing time in between carriage rides.
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.
Can't wait to hear Dracula talk about miserable piles of secrets
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.
Oim heppy to sey this wrongpurae has foinally arroived.
Turns out that when Dracula gets unleashed, he just leaves and everything gets kinda subdued but very English.
Slowbeef's weird little laugh at 11:01 makes me smile every time, for some reason.
"See, it's like Castlevania, but different and like a British detective show!"
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.
Love how at the start Betus panicked thinking it might be another sonic game.
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.
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
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.
I'm really liking Slowbeef's crackups here.
Diabetus seems to have Post Traumatic Sonic Disorder.
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)
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.
Holy shit, these are some "Deep Freeze"-tier performances!
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.
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.
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.
*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!
You really missed an opportunity in getting Mr. DJB to guest commentate.
17:20 The driver suddenly became from Boston.
+Doperwtje Thank you for that comment, pea.
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 video should've been titled "Messlevania: Dracula's Fun Carriage Ride"
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.
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.
AND WHERE WILL WE
BE OFF TO
THIS FINE DAY
So happy retsupurae is getting back in the swing of content. That was a long, rough period for those of us who didn't watch Sonic 06... It felt like Sonic was taunting me at the beginning.
+V3TJasper Although I did watch the last couple episodes, and it seems like it was a hard journey for you guys as well.
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.
All I want for Christmas is Retsupurae. At least I know Ridley will show up and destroy my presents. IT'S A LIVIN'
I guess MadMatty never stopped doing game shows. It's time for a fun game of:
GUESS! THE! ACCENT! (*applause*)
13:04 i think slowbeef transformed into Ridley for a second.
Aaaah!
Whoa, that bookshop owner is definitely a discount Josh Radnor.
Persona 4: Laughing all Night
Every time Diabetus goes "Ahhhhhh" it's hilarious.
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.
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'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
Oh my god these opening credits go with O Fortuna perfectly.
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!'
And what will... Beef and Betus... be wrongpuraeing... this fine day?
Devlin makes this game.
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...
oh my GOD, I remember this fucking game!! I was obsessed with it! What was WRONG with younger me???
(and yet...I am quietly looking forward to how this insanity ends. I never did beat it.)
Ladies and Gentlemen, We have the video game equivalent to "Electralbeast"
"Carriage roide n all."
and where willl WE BE off to. THIS FINE daaaay!
Let's 'ave a carriage ride!
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
As an English person, this game still has better accents than most of the Aus /English accents I keep hearing from American shows.
Not an episode of MST3K, but an incredible simulation!
This voice acting is the greatest thing to bless this goddamn planet.
The more I stare at the coach's seat cushion, the more i see a heard of elephants.
"Take a look at me timepiece it got flowers on it!" _The best callback yet_
ELLO THIS IS ELECTRICALBEAST AK THE GIANT OF CARRIAGE SERVICES
"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"
it's always nice when a game really gets slowbeef laughing.
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.)
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.
E sawnds just loik us 'ere British maytes. Bladdy mahvelus!
I was expecting the bartender with no name to show up at any moment and tell Alexander hed won a
stranger
"It's only 10:30 in the morning?"Clearly you don't like yourself a fine beer slowbeef
These drivers make Electrical Beast sound like james bond.
and where will. we be off to. this fine day.
Man the mustache guy looks appealing for this halloween.
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.
And where wiLL, *WE* be OFF TO? THIS fine dAY?
OMG thank you for still doing this format. you and this guy are a once in a lifetime comedy duo. Did you guys do Gabriel knight? those movie games work well for this
Okay, now Lords of Shadow is getting just plain ridiculous.
The next series should be sonic boom, and diabetuus should play it as an revenge by slowbeef
I never thought about it, but a Sherlock Holmes/Dracula crossover COULD be awesome.
This is one of the most MST3K episodes ever
what a treat. Hope you check out Dracula: Resurrection for the ps1/pc, the terrible voice acting and terrifying 3d models sound right up your alley.
13:06 And here we may observe the wild Slowbeef losing his shit at the bad British imitation acting hitting an all-time low.
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.
That livestock death article... maybe it's not Dracula, and the bad guy is actually the Chupacabra?
Alexander pulls out his Magic Carriage Driver.
oh my god, this game. never got passed the first day
