In March 2012, Ben 'Yahtzee' Croshaw started a series of Let's Plays with his friend Gabriel Morton, featuring games from their collective childhoods on his YouTube channel. Yahtzee and Gabriel alternate LP duties each game, with Yahtzee starting it off with Fantasy World Dizzy. Prior to the Flashback video, the videos were pre-recorded and, starting with Quake 2, they were labelled as "Let's Drown Out", which starts as a standard Let's Play of a game that's uninteresting to look at before they get bored talking about the game and instead goes through a list of podcast-style topics, which is what some of their past videos turned into anyway. The games drowned out tend to be older games that haven't aged well more often than not, but they do sometimes play boring modern games or an action-packed game made boring via stipulations, though that does not seem to work much with some of them.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })In 2015 they started "The Ego Review", where Gabe plays through one of Yahtzee's old games. It alternates weekly with "Let's Drown Out". Later in 2015, they started to do a whole "Let's Drown Out All Of Dark Souls 2," which has them let's playing all of Dark Souls 2. It concluded in January 2016, and they have now decided to do a whole Let's Play of Half-Life soon afterward.In 2016, Yahtzee announced the series would end due to his move to America. The first of a two-part finale, a play-through of Portal 2 Co-Op, went up on August 21, 2016, and the second a week later on August 27. Yahtzee has commented that he is considering doing a Sequel Series, if he can find the right co-host in America.LPs will contain crude humor.Note: this page includes all LPs done by Yahtzee and Gabriel, even those that aren't referred to as Let's Drown Out.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })

Alternate Aesop Interpretation: Discussed in-universe in regards of how people interpret The Path of depicting rape and Gabriel went on a tangent of how to properly handle interpretation, that is, there is no right 'singular' interpretation, one would just have to make their own interpretation along with an argument, to each their own.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); })

Accentuate the Negative: In 'Let's Drown Out Grand Theft Auto', Gabriel stated that he did not trust Yahtzee's Zero Punctuation reviews due to its cynical nature, which Yahtzee admitted that it was a bit of an exaggeration and stated that he likes Wolfenstein: The New Order to prove said statement.

Spoof Aesop: Yahtzee then went on to conclude that The Path's message was that women should never leave home because everything and everyone in the world is out to kill and/or rape you.

A Good Name for a Rock Band: after Yahtzee and Gabriel briefly riffed on the name of the alien in Quake 2, 'The Stroggs', they made a brief joke in that The Stroggs were a punk rock band from west of England.

Alien Blood: When Yahtzee explained that the plot of Aquanox 2 is revolved around horseshoe crabs, Gabriel waffled of the importance of them, specifically their blood. It is 'milky, kinda blue' and based around cobalt. It is used to test for blood borne pathogens because it reacted violently in any presence of infections.
