Ways to Die: Laura Bow 2

[Revidescent84]

4:28-3:30 Greatest Hits Collection? XD

5:09- Sound advice.

Am I a bad person for laughing hysterically at Steve in the throes of death @ 5:35? Repeatedly? He DOES sound like a manatee in heat.

[Revidescent84]

@ :52 *Splut* bwahaha

You should be able to have a heart attack from the corna beefa sammich.

[1488slav]

for some reason, i like these old games such as this and kings quest etc

compared with todays shit

[Iainofthemeteor]

at 0:30, what causes him to appear? does he just do that if the game is unwinnable? (not played this)

[MrWhitman]

@Iainofthemeteor He comes if you wait longer than a minute or give your press pass to the speakeasy guard.

[THEMJFB]

@MrWhitman do you know where I can download this game ?

[MrWhitman]

@THEMJFB Sorry, but I don't promote software piracy. I think it's available with the King's Quest Collection however.

[3HeadedMonkey]

ah i remember, you had to actually "look" on the street twice to look both ways. GET IT?? >_< XD

[SAMagic]

3:13 WHAT THE CHRIST

[kristinlovesgreg]

how did you get it to run? me and my sister can't figure it out!!

[MrWhitman]

@kristinlovesgreg I had to installl the game directly to dosbox. PM me if you want to know how to do that.

[LittleEdensRage]

when i was younger and received this as a present from my dad, I was so terrible at gaming , that Im pretty sure that I went through every single death, because all of them looked familiar... LOL -_____-

[Kizor]

@LittleEdensRage No, no, you did brilliantly. If dying over and over wasn't an integral part of the game, why would there be so many ways to do so?

When I finally won Shadowgate, I had to go back to get the few remaining deaths.

Oh and by "younger," are we talking 10, 14, or what? Where I come from, adventure games were huge with kids, even when we were years away from knowing enough English to win. I was well into my twenties before I realized that American kids might not need walkthroughs.

[LittleEdensRage]

when i was younger and received this as a present from my dad, I was so terrible at gaming , that Im pretty sure that I went through every single death, lol.

[KrautGoesWild]

To quote Space Quest: "Way to go, wingnut!"

[PolizeiPaul]

What is wrong with that guy at 5:33? Ow ooo ooo uh..LOL What a baby. she rescues him and he starts balling XD.

[MrWhitman]

@PolizeiPaul They're in the room with the furnace. That makes the floor exceedingly hot. Without his boot, he burns his foot and falls to the floor.

[edusuntrebor]

@MrWhitman I thought it was that he had twisted his ankle :o

[bethaknee25]

every time i've forgotten to put steve's boot on he just lies there and i wait around for 10 minutes then reload the game. it wouldve been a lot easier if mr cloak had just shot me. probably a glitch

[corjonbett]

If you listen at the door to the German guy's office at a certain point, you get a BIG hint to LEAVE THAT SWORD ALONE!!!

[Achasbajs]

Nice "splat" sound! XD

[Spriggangirl]

1:01. That is one PAINFUL stabbing, right there. *-_-

[Pavletman]

Hello.

I compared the film "Dangerous Adventures Adele" the game "Laura Bow 2 The Dagger of Amon Ra" and realized: the movie copied the game clean sweep!

In his evidence I cite a lot of screenshots!

dendyizgetto.ru/2010/09/laura-­bow-2-dagger-of-amon-ra.html

[kanetsuki2]

@TehEPICD00D y....yes, i guess "glurps"

[MrWhitman]

@TehEPICD00D Yes, you die at the end. HOWEVER, the death is EXACTLY the same as the last one I show so I didn't put it up twice.

[kanetsuki2]

fist death : nobody react?

[RichardLester]

Only thing missing from the deaths involving the hooded figure hitting you with the mace is Laura goin "ow" before hittin the floor

[Sambucacat]

It's difficult to distinguish between blood and her hair sometimes, when she gets shot or attacked by ants and stuff.

[RavenUmbreon]

The hell/

Some guy walks up and stabs her.

[Tigerfog]

I find it funny how the killer takes the time to walk over to Steve to finish him off after he's done with you.

[fucheduck]

3:20 what I love most about the early days of computer games(not "Video" games) was the fact you didn't censor grizzly deaths based on gender! awesome!

[fucheduck]

@fucheduck 3:18 but this "tool" isn't an acurate "timepeice" 3:28 isn't that the music of Tarna's Liontaur intrro Quest for Glory III.

[beatchef]

Does getting conked on the head in 15 different rooms really count as different deaths?

[HBourgoin]

You forgot to add in the death where the killer kills Laura in the mummy room.

[WeaponXSigma]

The death music for this game reminds me of leisure suit larry 6's death music for some reason

[jtd786]

Is it possible to fall down the elevator shaft in the mummy room?

[MrWhitman]

No, but it apparently IS possible to get crushed by the elevator.

[Fight4Privacy]

This game is weird.

[DoubleL3991]

Deaths in Laura Bow 1 are scarier. Especially the Psycho-like death in the shower (LOL Hitchcock!)

[Degness222]

Omg, why does that dumb man follow her at 7:06.

[banana360]

Monkey see, monkey do.

[TAGMOMG]

Or, rather, Monkey see, Monkey do ya in.

Depends on the situation, really.

[banana360]

Well, that mugger does prove your point.

[TAGMOMG]

Just be glad there isn't any need to pick locks. Last thing we need is a brain hemorage in Chicago from a lack of skill and a silly mind...

(The two jokes link, trust me. You might well be starting to see how now...)

[banana360]

No, I don't... sorry. Can you explain?

[TAGMOMG]

Heh Heh... Guess it was confusing. May well have been my choise of words... I wasn't really making jokes, per say, The better word would be... References.

That help?

[banana360]

Well, I do remember someone making a video titled "stupidest way to die in a game" or something like that. Anyways it featured the character trying to lockpick his own brain and obviously dying... that's... that's all I can link to this.

[TAGMOMG]

Indeed, That is what I was referencing. That was a game in a series, And that series also made that "Monkey See, Monkey Do Ya In" joke.

Look it up. It's called "Quest For Glory." (It WAS titled Hero's Quest, But it got changed because of some board game being named the same thing.)

[banana360]

Yay! Heh heh, I can just picture Laura shoving a lockpick up her nose in the central office and just collapsing and the other officers just continuing with their work.

[TAGMOMG]

Indeed. I personaly picture everyone following Laura's example.

[banana360]

Well, that's a possibility.

[TAGMOMG]

Indeed it is.

[emperorpoto]

"Venom I ever going to learn?" You have to be the most carefree person in the world to think that while you're dying from a snakebite. This game's morbid humor is too awesome!

[GideonFrost]

God I loved this game! I bought it at walmart when I was 12 for 20 dollars and my parents almost didnt let me have it lol. Now walmart has games like the Agatha Christie mystery collection.. are they as good as Laura Bow?

[HimeruShinobu]

<3 Sierra games

[Uejji]

It's been years since I played this game, but I seem to remember a death where you try to hide behind a tapestry but the villain still stabs you through it.

[officerpantsoffski]

I just tried the death in the mummy room where Laura stands under the elevator too long. You have to put it up - there's a nice animation of her getting squashed that I'm sure everyone would love to see!

[ryuuzaki010203]

" O look a man with an ax...hmm he's heading towards me mayb i should run..hmm..idk maybe i should GYAAA! " dead. lol she's so slow XD

[shsstang]

0:50 Uh, Laura, Jeff Hardy, you are not!

[FlutterbyA]

dead unicorn left over from a king's quest game--LOL XD

man I actually have this game but it won't work with my new computer....even with dosbox downloaded. weird...

[Serasia]

.....Pardon my ignorance, but...why exactly did Laura die when that mugger poked her? Did he have a poison needle?

What IS the room you leave without entering? The exit room?

[MrWhitman]

The mugger STABBED her with a knife, it only looks like he poked her due to the graphics.

And the answer to the riddle is Womb and Tomb.

[CheeseThief]

The "Womb"

[thegameulost]

>alcohol fumes

wait a minute. Wouldn't those vats contain formaldehyde? That's a more common method for preserving bodies.

[MrWhitman]

Remember this is based in the 1920's they may not have had formaldehyde at that point, or maybe the muesum was too cheap to buy it.

[Squiglypig]

Remember this is the 20's. Formaldehyde probably wasn't as known back then.

[demonofhiddenmist]

The death that freaked me out the most was where you're a "thacrifithe".

[Corbin2TheWhiteHouse]

he walked down with her!

at 7:07

[DoYouLikeWaffles25]

2:13 O_o Thats disturbing.

[Mysticgamer]

Wait is there a death if you chase the rats off but wait for the cloak figure?

[MrWhitman]

No, he won't show up in the tunnels nnd if you allow him to catch you outside of it, it's the same as any other time.

[Chaoman2006]

Ok 1:13 is just random O_o

[thegameulost]

yeah, using a machine gun as a mousetrap is just a tad overkill.

[lifessignature]

wtf with the death music?the death music doesent sound like death music at all

[TAGMOMG]

I think it's the game developers poking fun at you very slightly.

[Mysticgamer]

Sierra loves doing that, They call you a dufus everytime you touch something and it eats or shoots you in space quest.

[hhhxxxhhh]

i thought i was the only person who ever played this game .... Member the end of the game ... it was intense

[lifessignature]

lol when she got run over y didnt no1 call the hopisital? i hope they realize what theyve done?

[HBourgoin]

Because she was already dead.

[WingmanVWXYZ]

When she got shot, it could also have said:

'Looks like your story still has a few holes in it'.

Or: Apparently, Amon Ra isn't such a (s)hot topic anymore'

Anyway, nice video

[AkiraTakahara]

I loved this game ^_^ Sierra came up with some interesting ways to die XD

[chaoschao455]

At 1:06, I knew the knife thing would fall (I don't have the game, but I still knew it)!

[HBourgoin]

Why didn't you get killed in the mummy room by the murderer?

[MrWhitman]

I forgot about it. I'm planning to do one of these with voices and in that one, I'll have the deaths in the different areas.

[NermanQ]

It's not really a DEATH, but you can get to a Restore/Restart/Quit screen if you answer the reporter guy's Egyptology question wrong.

[MrWhitman]

Unfortunately, I don't have the first version of the game and this one doesn't have the copywright protection so I can't do it.

[Atomsk648]

so that guy just randomly comes out and kills you? must make it kinda difficult lol!

[nsssj]

If you're referring to the mugger, you made the game unwinnable by losing your press pass. Be grateful Sierra didn't let you save in that state like they usually do.

[Atomsk648]

no im talkin about the killer...the guy in black

[orly444]

It's not by random. After discovering most of the people at the banquet (or whatever) are dead, he finally shows himself and attacks you.

[BeWaTer99]

How sweet! That masked man turns you before hitting you! Don't say he hit you from the back!! ( lol)

[helikestv]

That killer at around 5:20 is cold blooded as hell!

[greyfox37]

LOL everyone just keeps going about their business after she got hit, HA HA HA!

[khoid]

why do the snake eyes at 6:13 look like cat eyes?

[dmazter]

That red haired guy is a retard. Why did he jump down into the burning pit o fire after Laura?

[herooftime1000]

Monkey see, Monkey do.

[dmazter]

Too true.

[TomSFox]

He couldn't live without her.

[Sambucacat]

Her blood matches her hair colour!

[GideonFrost]

BEST GAME EVER! Do they even make mystery games like this anymore?

[Disthron]

This girl seems to die in some rather improbable ways.

Holy crap! did she just get machineguned after touching a mouse trap?

Killed by rats? c'mon one bit them in the face!?

Wow, at least she got gunned down by a classic. So is that what happens if you survive but don't solve the mystery?

[TomSFox]

"Wow, at least she got gunned down by a classic. So is that what happens if you survive but don't solve the mystery?"

Yes.

[helikestv]

The ridiculous, unheroic death followed by a pop-up window mocking you is one of the trademarks of the old Sierra adventures.

[HBourgoin]

Those rats obviously had rabies, or something.

[poopskinTheLiar]

why does noone notice when she gets ran over?!

[MrWhitman]

It's New York, New York. Need I say more?

[edusuntrebor]

@poopskinTheLiar It's New York, happens all the time.

[tandooriconnection]

I've played the game many times, and I thought: how can snakes (cobras at that) co-exist with rats in the same tunnel?

[LadyofTheSummer]

Is it just me or are the deaths more predictable and a little less funny than the first Laura Bow? :/ The deaths are still funny though. I'd want to play this just to see how she dies lol

[jrv2damac]

I like how everyone just keeps minding their own business.

[ReijiOyama]

I loved it when she got eaten by the bugs. XD

[rabies1]

lol at 1:05....smoooth!

[Schnitz1]

7:45 looked more like a rape was about to happen. Never saw that weapon coming!

[drrude]

After all... this vid is called 'Ways to die', not 'Ways to get raped'.

[Schnitz1]

Sure thing. What's more, I'd say it's literally overkill to use full auto on someone that's sleeping.

[bm237]

I think the only one you missed was when she's in the mummy storage room. If she stands underneath the elevator shaft, she'll get crushed, just like in the first game. It's scary how well I recognized all of them, though, thanks for posting this!

[ApacheMan2K]

the comments i liked most were...

"Your dying thought is, 'Venom I ever going to learn?'", and...

"You have that gnawing feeling that you've done something horrible. Rats!"

[goldskarr]

7:24-did that dino puke out a cultist?

[MrWhitman]

No, that would be the murderer. And he ISN'T part of the cult.

[goldskarr]

i didnt know.never played it.

but they look like cultists from RE4.

[lockcitra22]

She looks better in this one than she did in colonl's bequest

[sindobrandnew]

Wow man were you an "insider" of Sierra?

You know these ADV games too well. cool.

[keeper410]

You forgot the part where you touch the electrified weapons. They're right next to the sword, but you get a different death scene.

[MrWhitman]

All I ever got was her getting a quick but non-lethal shock.

[SeppelSquirrel]

That's correct. You can't die to the shock, no matter how often you do it.

I'm rather surprised that the majority of the deaths occur in the beginning and end of the game. There are only 7 ways to die in the main portion of the game.

[allan277]

haha this game was awesome.. I used to play it sometimes just to die.

[bm237]

Me too! My parents eventually got sick of me just playing it to kill her.

[TheLadyYuki]

(3;17) Bugs? More like effing piranhas! O.o

[Fender178]

I have the Cd rom version of this game and I got the game to play with full sound and voices with out the cd. Heres what you do to fix your problem. Edit your Resource.cfg with the following. Hope that helps you out.

audio=.\

patchDir=.\;audiosfx\.

[Fender178]

Also Make sure you copy the following files from the cd all of the resource files except the .cfg file then the audiosfx folder then it should work.

[YaoiHuntressEarth]

You forgot one where while the murder is chasing you, wait under the elevator and let it crush you to death.

[MrWhitman]

Thank you. I'll check it out and do a revision if need be. That may take some time however, I don't have a save file before that and I'm in the middle of a couple other projects.

[hercrabbiness]

Silly Laura! XD

You can also throw the cheese directly at the rats in the passage, although the end result is the same... only difference is that they go for the cheese first and then come running at you for more.

[MrWhitman]

Yes, I was aware of that, though thanks anyway. Reason I didn't put it in is because before editing this video was too long and I figured if it's the same death, why bother?

[HBourgoin]

WTF??? When Laura got killed by the murderer in the hall to the museum, the weapon didn't even touch her!
