I LOVE experiencing these games from someone else's perspective because it just reminds me how insane most of them are, plus Joe makes even the worst games hilarious
I like the breaks bc I watch these when I'm at work, so I can afford to stop paying attention for a few minutes without feeling like I'm missing too much of the gameplay.
Tbh I actually loved the stretch breaks, and the dog drawing interlude was a real treat 🥲 You should do a Bob Ross style draw-along of piggie as a sub goal
I've been going through a stressful time lately, and your streams have helped me so much. I love Nancy Drew games (the chat actually roasted me as MySpace haircut girl in Trail of the Twister bahaha), and I just love watching you play them. Anyhow, just wanted to say thanks for streaming these, Joe! You make me laugh so much and just make my days better!
This game is so sentimental to me I remember playing it with my sister almost every Saturday (mostly because the puzzles were so hard it took us forever). I hope you enjoy!! Also NEVER knew you could turn on the lamp on her desk, you always find things I have never thought of
Yes please keep the stretch breaks in on UA-cam!! It's good for all of us :) I actually don't mind this game, although a lot of people hate it. It lets me live a fake Hawaiian vacation
I tell everyone I know I watch these streams including my dad and aunt. And they remember the ghost dogs and waverley and how my sister and I STRUGGLED. They both asked me to send them your videos 😂
Ik a lot of people hate this game, but I own and have played all the Nancy games since I was like 8 and this was the first one I ever played so it holds SUCH a special place in my heart! It’s been so cool seeing so many people playing these games recently HABSJJSSJ
It made me sad that everyone in the chat was talking joe down from the frass puzzle before he even started it? Like it's tedious but it's not impossible at all, why would you wanna ruin it before its even started?
I was so excited for you to play this one because it’s one of the only games I never finished and it’s hilarious watching you go through them I listened to this while doing the dishes tonight and you had me in stitches
I love your videos, they relax me so much. I followed you on twitch and hopefully I can tune in to one of your next streams. Also the drawing to rob was so sweet
Hi HMJ! If I may, I have a suggestion regarding the stretch breaks. If you include them, would it be possible to separate the video into chapters for those that want to skip the breaks?
Oh man I remember being *so* excited for this game when it came out. A game in Hawaii where you get to play as the Hardy Boys sounded like the best thing ever for 13 year old me. I preordered it! And then they introduce those abominations…I’ll never forgive them for doing that to my beloved Joe Hardy lol. I like how in future games whenever they need a Hardy Boys pic they use the Train game and just pretend this one doesn’t exist lmao. I think part of the reason I hate this game so much is because I had such high expectations and what was delivered was terrible in comparison. And it’s not just the frass. I find the shells and fishing mind numbingly tedious too.
Haven't commented on one of your videos yet, but you're hilarious Joe!! I cosplay from the Nancy Drew Games and I'm really happy to have fellow gays in the fandom lmao. Keep doing you!
Nah, don't worry, tiny earthquakes are pretty normal here. It feels trippy at first when you're in a tall building and everything is swaying, but otherwise folks just go on with life.
I once had an extra toasty cheez-it and audibly said "oh no this is too burnt". I sat in silence for several minutes. To date it's the whitest thing I've ever said and the competition was fierce.

Also electric chair to everyone calling Big Island Mike DADDY, I'm not going to sleep tonight
@@neenuhhh
14:44 "It's a vacation from YOU (Ned)! ARE THOSE THE HARDY BOYS?!" LOL! I'm dying laughing!
Can I just say I am SHOCKED Nancy doesn't have a bank lamp on her desk? We know how the devs love their bank lamps
Leaving the stretch breaks in is nice because it reminds us to stretch, too!
You know it's a good (bad) one when the wax brothers show up
I like the breaks bc I watch these when I'm at work, so I can afford to stop paying attention for a few minutes without feeling like I'm missing too much of the gameplay.
To answer your question for the UA-cam watchers, YES I would love if you kept the STRETCH BREAKS in the vod :)

Is it bad that the phone conversations tend to be my favorite parts of the Nancy Drew games. 🤣
I love them too! When I replay the games I always try to get as many of the optional dialogues as possible
Sometimes the phone characters are better written than the real suspects 💀💀
Joe don’t act like you haven’t been trying to hook Nancy up with the Hardy Boys since the beginning! 😂😂😂
I’m curious to see if Joe’s uncanny sense of guessing the game villain will come through this time as well.

I was sick at home watching the live and fell asleep! Glad to see the other half! Joe you make my childhood games so much funnier
BEEN EXCITED FOR SOME MORE NANCY DREW! I'm grateful of you for uploading the vods on here Joe!
Yes!! I was suffering from some SERIOUS Nancy Drew gameplay hangover since finishing your “Secret of the Old Clock” play through.
Keep the stretch breaks! Apart from gaming, I mostly enjoy the conversations you have with us!
Thank you so much for including the stretching portions in these! I feel so heard and am ready to stretch! ♡
22:00 I love watching your Let’s Play series with Nancy Drew games but THIS is so cute 🥹 esp with the Piggy appearance ❤
the comparisions between Dr. Kim and Fran Fine make me SCREAM. Leave poor Fran alone lmaooo
Voting to keep the stretch breaks. Reminded me to stretch as well and I’ll do anything to avoid actually working.

Love the interludes
Love the stretch break/tarot reading!!
Accidentally discovered halfmoonjoe but now I'm hooked cause I love his voice so much lol
The Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon Hardy Boys are the only Hardy Boys I choose to perceive. These abominations don’t exist, for me.
It made me sad that everyone in the chat was talking joe down from the frass puzzle before he even started it? Like it's tedious but it's not impossible at all, why would you wanna ruin it before its even started?
Also sorry for the double comment but I also vote to keep in the stretches in the videos. I love them
Keep the stretch breaks! Lord knows I need it, and the tarot readings are fun too
I love the stretch break please leave it in.
I was so excited for you to play this one because it’s one of the only games I never finished and it’s hilarious watching you go through them I listened to this while doing the dishes tonight and you had me in stitches
Oh my gosh you heard me about the stretching! I'm so happy!!! I love you so much and your Nancy drew streams are the best!
Nice game play. I vote for cutting out the breaks.
"Pissin' on today." 🤣🤣
Joe I loved Dr Quigley Kim’s voice too!!!
the absolute ABUSE Nancy has to endure to do this UNPAID internship with bug poop.. SMH
This game is comfortably middle of the road for me. It’s not too bad, but it’s also not too great.
I like the stretch breaks!
The noise when the Jeep Cutscene boots up sounds like the beginning of Fireflies by Owl City
I love your videos, they relax me so much. I followed you on twitch and hopefully I can tune in to one of your next streams. Also the drawing to rob was so sweet
I vote for keeping the stretch breaks they're nice ^^

Bess and Jan lmaooo

Still loving my tarot reading tbh. Can’t wait for Kharjo to have two new siblings, Fussy and Bussy. I’m sure he’ll be thrilled! 😂🐱
Omg this one. This is probably one of the lower tier games for me. Just be prepared for one of the most annoying puzzles I've ever dealt with.
I prefer when you edit out the breaks! 😊
I didn’t like the stretch breaks on the vod! Thanks for asking! This game is fun to watch.

The first Nancy drew game I played. God it was weird
I will ONLY accept Joe's Tarot readings from now on.
YAAAASSSS
Ned is such a flop. QUIT CALLING NED WE ON VACATION
Big Island Mike, my beloved.
Frank looks so hot and fit in this game whereas Joe looks like nightmare fuel
Edit: 69th comment woohoo 🥳
the critter of cat poop cave
If I’m not getting paid. I’m out
Joe Hardy who hurt you
😂😮😅😊
Personally I don't like the stretch breaks at all, I'd rather they be cut out from the YT videos
