"Okay, so we're going to do this noir-esque murder mystery adventure game." "Sounds good." "And the main character's gonna be this alcoholic, racist, sexist asshole that fights people." "Huh. I mean, I guess it can fit with the time period?" "And at this point he goes into an old building and ends up in a medieval castle/church that's also connected to the restaurant so he can get a casino chip." "......"
The way the dialogue is written makes it sound like the characters are just talking past each other without actually addressing the opposite party. It honestly reminds me of that David Lynch film with the rabbits
Nah some short film he made where people in rabbit costumes say weird abstract things to each other and it's styled like a surreal 80s sitcom. watch?v=qjNQxYESm4o
I cracked it, guys. Those random locations are exactly that: random locations from games that were never developed that got shoved into Jack Orlando before the company went under
I like the fact that the derelict apartment to wizard lair would be a huge swerve in anything else. It's where the normal asshole detective finds out that instead of just clearing his name he's caught up in gangster wizard politics or something. And then here it's just some shit.
Watching this series again after all this time and it strikes me now how mentally unstable Jack actually is(especially in this video). Between his odd conversations, fits of rage where he attack people, kleptomania, hoarding, and aimless wandering he really might be the most troubling Retsu character.
Halligan (accidently) poisoned a homeless person but Jack just straight out beats homeless people with baseball bats! I genuinely can't decide who's worse.
The backdrop for the bar at the 11:00 mark is straight lifted from Full Throttle. I'd call it a loving reference, but that would be giving this game too much credit.
Not sure if this has been brought up before, but I'm 95% certain the bar Orlando enters at 10:57 is "inspired" by the bar from LucasArts classic Full Throttle. Up to that point I figured they were just recycling half-built assets they had lying around, but now I figure many of them probably came from other games, stitched haphazardly and with almost randomized observations.
I think this installment confirms, beyond reasonable doubt, this is a failed attempt by an alien intelligence to replicate an Earthling adventure game.
The whole beginning segment is hilarious Homeless Guy: "Let me sleep, crud!" Diabetes: "It's Jack, actually." Homeless Guy: "Hey pal, what are you doing in my house?" Jack: "I'm looking for some guy to punch in the face." Homeless Guy: "And I just found him!" Diabetus: "That's your retort? 'Wanna punch someone in the face? I guess that's me'" 6:41 "Stuff" 11:18 "My review of Jack Orlando." 14:51 (Jack moves awkwardly) "Why do you have to be so aggressive?!" 16:12 "I don't want to discuss this any further, I'm hitting the mute button." 20:30 Woman is dancing to no music
I think the random rooms are supposed to be a tribute to broken sword, indiana jones, quest for glory and full throttle, I just don't know what point and clock fan that would play this.
do you find yourself asking what silent hill would be like if it were set in the 50's as a drunken, racist cartoon - where you play as an unrelatable stupid murderer that has no concept of social cues, carries trash in his coat constantly, and probably smells like old wet bread, pennies, and his own urine? BECAUSE NO, YOU HAVEN'T ASKED THAT, NO ONE HAS - AND IF YOU DID, THIS WOULD BE THE OUTCOME AND I GUESS YOU'RE WELCOME
I am always surprised when the game audio comes back, it happens so infrequently and for such a short time if you asked me what Jack voice sounded like I probably couldn't tell you.
So I really don't get what's going on in this game. Even Shadow of the Comet and Shadows of Destiny made sense in the end, but I'm totally lost on Jack Orlando. Can someone explain what the player is doing, and why?
We're SUPPOSED to be figuring out who killed some guy and pinned the blame of the murder on us. I have no fucking clue what's going on after that. A conspiracy????
Let me try. Jack severely injures a man to steal his cranking handle, because Jack needs the cranking handle to pull down the ladder he saw the murderer climb. On the roof, he gets like a cigar or something that has the name of a bar written on it. He goes to the bar, where a random woman inexplicably knows the name of a hitman, and Jack somehow knows that this hitman is the murderer. Then Jack murders a homeless man, hangs out in a medieval church, and I think pistol whips a guy who is an associate of the hitman.
It seems like you got the case to solve. Thing is - game was designed to give players a lot of freedom (and fail a lot, like Sierra point'n'click adventures). The person who recorded the LP wanted to get as much from the game as possible without blocking progress to the finale. Still - most point'n'click games are about collecting stuff and using it to "action>reaction" and rarely make sense. Turn it up to 11 and you get Jack Orlando. Hope it helps.
+Mackerel Phones Seems pretty accurate. Also, you know where to meet the hitman and his associate and what there sign to each other is because of the latter's notebook, which you found in his apartment.
I hate how much this game wastes its own resources. There are so many little animations and shit that probably took a lot of effort but, like, didn't even need to exist? I hate this game.
So, let me get this straight. This game is set on America on the 30's, and our "hero" invades a abandoned apartment building, and beats one of the hobos that lives there to steal his rope. Then, he goes downstairs to a european catacomb/dungeon that was NOT hidden by any secret passage at all. Then, he founds a room there full of bookshelfs and a Egyptian head, and this room does have a secret passage that opens up by putting a book on the bookshelf that he got from a random chinese guy in the street. THEN, the secret passage leads to a room with a gargoyle and a table and books that apparently belongs to a wizard, and the only thing noteworty about the place is that you find a cassino chip. THEN, going further the catacombs/dungeon our "hero" ends up in a regular wine cellar. AND THEN, he ends up in a restaurant/bar with many TV MONITORS that looks more modern to be in the era this game was supposed to be set on, AND he just exits to the street with that first hooker and no one (not even her) mentions nothing. And worst of all, THIS DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT WAS DESIGNED TO BE A EASTEREGG, AND THERE WAS NO HINT ABOUT THIS PLACE EITHER. How can you make a game with a moment way more absurd than the Purgatory in Hopkins: FBI? At least there it's a plot point for later.
Do my eyes deceive me? Is this just my mind playing some sick trick on me? No…it can't be, this is just a lucid dream is all. Alright, good night everyone.
I don't know how to feel about the fact I recognized a background that's only in the intro to a game I've not played in about 15 years from a poor recreation in a Let's Play I was only half watching...but I can't remember what I had for dinner yesterday...
Got a point there, Jack just cuts the crap and beats the shit out of people to get where he wants, it's not exactly a admirable way of doing things but at least it's fast and not obtuse.
"They must be part of an abbey." Yes, the most interesting part of the Life of Boniface is probably when the blessed convinced the Pope to invest in his start-up, the Beverly Hills Monastery. In fact, some scholars believe the phrase "angel round" can be traced to this early example of West Coast "disruption" entrepreneurship.
To comb through the catacombs just to procure a poker chip was bad enough. Can you imagine getting to the Smith scene and only having one of the newspaper scraps rather than *the* newspaper? It's like Where's Waldo hell: how would you ever remember where you saw the actual newspaper??
Can someone photoshop Jack Orlando into various Souls-esque situations? It could be like that one Limbo of the Lost photoshop thread but with a more (arguably) likable protagonist.
Finally, the one person who isn't upset at these two gents for not releasing something every other day. I love them and all that but there are other UA-camrs...Helloween, for example. I filled the time by watching playthroughs of horror point-and-click RPGs (like Sepulchre (not by Helloween)).

“Unfortunately people today don’t appreciate such details.”
“Books of history...who cares...”
Out of all of the out-of-place things in this part, the most out-of-place thing might be Jack Orlando telling someone not to be so prejudiced.
glad i wasn't the only one who caught that
"Okay, so we're going to do this noir-esque murder mystery adventure game."
"Sounds good."
"And the main character's gonna be this alcoholic, racist, sexist asshole that fights people."
"Huh. I mean, I guess it can fit with the time period?"

The way the dialogue is written makes it sound like the characters are just talking past each other without actually addressing the opposite party. It honestly reminds me of that David Lynch film with the rabbits
regis potunkin Watership Down?
Nah some short film he made where people in rabbit costumes say weird abstract things to each other and it's styled like a surreal 80s sitcom. watch?v=qjNQxYESm4o
It's also featured in Inland Empire.
I cracked it, guys. Those random locations are exactly that: random locations from games that were never developed that got shoved into Jack Orlando before the company went under
Seriously???
"Don't be so prejudiced." Jack, you are the wrong person to say this after everything you've done.
I like the fact that the derelict apartment to wizard lair would be a huge swerve in anything else. It's where the normal asshole detective finds out that instead of just clearing his name he's caught up in gangster wizard politics or something.
And then here it's just some shit.
I got killed so many times by the bosses in Anor Orlando
Glad to see you guys managed to escape the dahir insaat death bed!
They did but they had to recover from the quad copter attack
Then they got stuck in a drive market traffic jam...
And Slowbeef nearly died of a heart attack from Chocolate Covered Doritos but the tiny metal tube saved him just in time to make this video.
Naw, they just stored some computers in their beds before the earthquake.
I believe the technical term for it is a Hell Cube
If you didn't come back sooner then i would've *blown us all to hell!*
They made us all *unhappy campers*
Errybody calm down and have a pastry.
"Jams with whole wheat bread"
It's been so long that all the cum in my laptop has dried up.
Watching this series again after all this time and it strikes me now how mentally unstable Jack actually is(especially in this video).

Halligan (accidently) poisoned a homeless person but Jack just straight out beats homeless people with baseball bats! I genuinely can't decide who's worse.
If there was a homeless person in Harvester, Steve would instantly brutally murder him
Steven Owen I'm not sure that was an "accident"...
SyberiaWinx It's difficult to tell based on how incompetent Halligan is.
The difference between Halligan and Jack is essentially the difference between incompetence and malice.
My retsuprayer has been answered!
LittleNorwegians haha well played!
The backdrop for the bar at the 11:00 mark is straight lifted from Full Throttle.
I'd call it a loving reference, but that would be giving this game too much credit.
I noticed that too, it really bothers me. At least it kind of explains all the television screens being there.
You know what might look better on your nose?
Not sure if this has been brought up before, but I'm 95% certain the bar Orlando enters at 10:57 is "inspired" by the bar from LucasArts classic Full Throttle.

That's not even a "sfinx", that's a Pharaoh's death mask
If Paul Bunion was a Pharaoh...
No, that's "Stuff"
“Stuff.”
riveting observation by this hero
"Things with symbolic character."
So symbols.
what the hell is this? a youtube comment
4:56
Fed up with slowbeef and Diabetus making cracks about the game turning into Bloodborne, Jack walks off and into Room Break instead.
I think this installment confirms, beyond reasonable doubt, this is a failed attempt by an alien intelligence to replicate an Earthling adventure game.
Mackerel Phones Wasn't that Dark Seed II? Pretty sure it was Dark Seed II.
It's amazing to see how distressing Jack finds libraries
It worked! I spent yesterday making a series of complicated sacrifices to the Darkseed II videos and it worked! It brought Retsupurae back!
Not only must Jack clear his name, he must also find the Jade Monkey before the next full moon
The whole beginning segment is hilarious
Homeless Guy: "Let me sleep, crud!" Diabetes: "It's Jack, actually."
Homeless Guy: "Hey pal, what are you doing in my house?" Jack: "I'm looking for some guy to punch in the face." Homeless Guy: "And I just found him!" Diabetus: "That's your retort? 'Wanna punch someone in the face? I guess that's me'"

16:12 "I don't want to discuss this any further, I'm hitting the mute button."
20:30 Woman is dancing to no music
This is quickly getting into some Hopkins FBI shit
with Mystery of the Druid-like main character
The Hopkins/Mystery of the Druids crossover we were all asking for in the previous wrongpurae.
This episode is one of the most confusing things in the universe.
Thank God you guys are back, and so is Jack Orlando.
I think the random rooms are supposed to be a tribute to broken sword, indiana jones, quest for glory and full throttle, I just don't know what point and clock fan that would play this.

BECAUSE NO, YOU HAVEN'T ASKED THAT, NO ONE HAS - AND IF YOU DID, THIS WOULD BE THE OUTCOME AND I GUESS YOU'RE WELCOME
You think Prohibition was in the 50s?
Oh I'm so happy you guys are back, hope everything is okay with ya!
Returning from a hiatus once again, and I still have no clue where this is going...
so basically, it's as if it never left.
I am always surprised when the game audio comes back, it happens so infrequently and for such a short time if you asked me what Jack voice sounded like I probably couldn't tell you.
Rhino 'n Chips It's so jarring when it comes off.
Like the saxophone player passed out.
We've probably heard Slowbeef imitating Jack more than we've actually heard Jack.
Let's just have Slowbeef redub the whole game
This is a sad story about an old man falling deeper into his mental illness.
I forgot... I genuinely forgot what I should expect from Jack Orlando, and it comes in full force in this video. Goodness me.
So I really don't get what's going on in this game. Even Shadow of the Comet and Shadows of Destiny made sense in the end, but I'm totally lost on Jack Orlando. Can someone explain what the player is doing, and why?
We're SUPPOSED to be figuring out who killed some guy and pinned the blame of the murder on us.
I have no fucking clue what's going on after that. A conspiracy????
Let me try.
Jack severely injures a man to steal his cranking handle, because Jack needs the cranking handle to pull down the ladder he saw the murderer climb. On the roof, he gets like a cigar or something that has the name of a bar written on it. He goes to the bar, where a random woman inexplicably knows the name of a hitman, and Jack somehow knows that this hitman is the murderer. Then Jack murders a homeless man, hangs out in a medieval church, and I think pistol whips a guy who is an associate of the hitman.
Honestly the most confusing part of this game is the sheer amount of items you need, and the amount of red herring items in the game.
It seems like you got the case to solve. Thing is - game was designed to give players a lot of freedom (and fail a lot, like Sierra point'n'click adventures). The person who recorded the LP wanted to get as much from the game as possible without blocking progress to the finale.
Still - most point'n'click games are about collecting stuff and using it to "action>reaction" and rarely make sense.
Turn it up to 11 and you get Jack Orlando.
Hope it helps.
+Mackerel Phones Seems pretty accurate.
Also, you know where to meet the hitman and his associate and what there sign to each other is because of the latter's notebook, which you found in his apartment.
I hate how much this game wastes its own resources. There are so many little animations and shit that probably took a lot of effort but, like, didn't even need to exist? I hate this game.
So the first thing we do after this huge break was knock out and rob a sleeping homeless guy for no reason.
Welcome back to Jack Orlando.
You know, at least I will give points for Halligan for being "creative" about his hobo-victim, Jack was very unsubtle about it.
Good to see that you guys are alive. I was worried that Jack Orlando came and killed you two to steal out of your trash.
So, let me get this straight.
This game is set on America on the 30's, and our "hero" invades a abandoned apartment building, and beats one of the hobos that lives there to steal his rope. Then, he goes downstairs to a european catacomb/dungeon that was NOT hidden by any secret passage at all. Then, he founds a room there full of bookshelfs and a Egyptian head, and this room does have a secret passage that opens up by putting a book on the bookshelf that he got from a random chinese guy in the street. THEN, the secret passage leads to a room with a gargoyle and a table and books that apparently belongs to a wizard, and the only thing noteworty about the place is that you find a cassino chip. THEN, going further the catacombs/dungeon our "hero" ends up in a regular wine cellar. AND THEN, he ends up in a restaurant/bar with many TV MONITORS that looks more modern to be in the era this game was supposed to be set on, AND he just exits to the street with that first hooker and no one (not even her) mentions nothing. And worst of all, THIS DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT WAS DESIGNED TO BE A EASTEREGG, AND THERE WAS NO HINT ABOUT THIS PLACE EITHER.
How can you make a game with a moment way more absurd than the Purgatory in Hopkins: FBI? At least there it's a plot point for later.
everytime anything at all happens in this video it's confusing... i even rewatched part 4 to recap on what happened and it makes no sense
Do my eyes deceive me? Is this just my mind playing some sick trick on me? No…it can't be, this is just a lucid dream is all. Alright, good night everyone.
Back from the Dark World eh guys?
Max-RDJ They got stuck in that damn mirror maze
What is this madness? Did the Game Grumps finally update Trauma Center?
Wow, that was a full throttle easter egg, that weird bar, it was the bar from the start of Lucas Arts Full Throttle o_O That was so weird!
Yup, i was about to say the same thing!
I don't know how to feel about the fact I recognized a background that's only in the intro to a game I've not played in about 15 years from a poor recreation in a Let's Play I was only half watching...but I can't remember what I had for dinner yesterday...
I bet you that entire Church/wizards lair/bar were from games that got scrapped but they didn't want to waste the work they did on them.
Never clicked a notification so fast, missed you guys!
Jack Orlando: Stuff...
So apparently Jack Orlando also inspired dark souls impossible world mapping.
I thought Retsupurae had gone away with the hurricane wind, and Welcome Back to Retsupurae.
The map of the Jack Orlando world is like Dark Souls 2, where everything just piles on top of everything.
"My name is Bellinger." "Tells me nothin'." Clearly you haven't been following the Dodgers!
And then the game puts in the bar from Full Throttle, as if the designers are admitting their own creative bankruptcy.
Kept us waiting, huh?
Thank god, you guys are back, I had to resort to actually working instead of procrastinating!
The first thing we see coming back is Jack bludgeoning a homeless guy to death for a rope
They're back baby!
Ah a new video of STUFF
I was just watching older episodes, and behold new vidya!
It’s a Thanksgiving miracle! Thank you, Turkey God!
Within the first minute of the video Orlando clobbers a homeless guy with a baseball bat to steal his rope. This game, this fucking game.
At least he's more upfront about it than Halligan poisoning a hobo to get his loose change.
Got a point there, Jack just cuts the crap and beats the shit out of people to get where he wants, it's not exactly a admirable way of doing things but at least it's fast and not obtuse.
This game abruptly turned into La-Mulana. "You have obliterated Drunk Hobo! But the adventure continues... "
I reckon Jack just came out of prison to resume his quest?
Good to have you back.
"They must be part of an abbey." Yes, the most interesting part of the Life of Boniface is probably when the blessed convinced the Pope to invest in his start-up, the Beverly Hills Monastery. In fact, some scholars believe the phrase "angel round" can be traced to this early example of West Coast "disruption" entrepreneurship.
OK, why does a Prohibition era American city have a Medieval abbey's basement in it?
Does this mean... for centuries, our people have asked the age olde question, where is the beef? Now, perhaps the prophesised biufon returns!
Wait, why is there the Full Throttle bar in this game?!
9:43 I seriously thought this was the wine cellar from DarkSeed
Hey ya came back pal!
It ain't true - Jack Orlando: A Cinematic Adventure!
Glad to see the boys are back in town!
11:00 Wasnt that the kickstand from Full Throttle?
So that abbey, library, and bar consisted of assets cannibalized from cancelled projects, right? There's other explanation.
To comb through the catacombs just to procure a poker chip was bad enough. Can you imagine getting to the Smith scene and only having one of the newspaper scraps rather than *the* newspaper? It's like Where's Waldo hell: how would you ever remember where you saw the actual newspaper??
It's great to see you guys are back!
"A prototype of a bathroom"
You mean this game?
*cries* they're back! What a great Thanksgiving gift!
I was wondering what happened with this!! Thanks for not killing it off. :)
They’re back! My Retsuprayers have been answered!
Hooray. Now to watch the actual episode.
3:05 And now, Mystery of the Druids.
At long last. Glad to see you're back.
Sum up the plot of this game in one word:
"Stuff"
Can someone photoshop Jack Orlando into various Souls-esque situations? It could be like that one Limbo of the Lost photoshop thread but with a more (arguably) likable protagonist.
Necromancy, every once in a while, it happens.
Praise jesus a new Retsupurae video!
Christmas came early
mistaecco I got you some salt packets from Arby's.
Finally, the one person who isn't upset at these two gents for not releasing something every other day.
I love them and all that but there are other UA-camrs...Helloween, for example.
I filled the time by watching playthroughs of horror point-and-click RPGs (like Sepulchre (not by Helloween)).
So did I
Pretty sure nobody's "upset" about them not uploading for a while, we're just happy to have them back.
BugPope Me too!
i love retsupurae
I think retsupurae intentionally delayed this so that it could become as bizzare as possible
Thanks for blowing off the dust and cobwebs fellas!
2:25
Okay, so who lit _this_ torch then, huh?
3:06
Dammit
Just noticed jack Orlando wears the "options" brand of jackets
up next: retsutalk. In just 4 years.
Did the longplayer maybe cut out lots of audio for contentID reasons? It cut out right when the music kicked in
This went from Deja Vu to Shadowgate real fucking quick
I... What? Was that the bar from Full Throttle!?
Why wasn't I informed of this video??? Has youtube decided to ignore the fact I've probably watched everything from this channel twice all over???
That bar with the screens looks an awful lot like the bar from the opening of full throttle
Yeeeeees! So glad you guys are back!
Who has a souls character named Jack Orlando now? Be honest.
Stuff
A target on a wall
a dartboard that is for some reason in a dungeon
a bar-game used to test one anthers hand-eye corridination usually under the effects of alcohol, this one already has darts in it and is placed in an awkward position above the stairs
Bout time it's back!
Welcome back, Jack.
From Jack Orlando to Bloodborne and back into Laura Bow: The Dagger of Amon Ra
