⚡🎸 THERE’S NOTHING FOR ME HERE!!! 🎸⚡

Not gonna lie, this is the best House of Ashes playthrough. The guys really get into the story and even come up with their own headcanons. 

This is what I feel a lot of let’s plays are missing; immersion. Like, it’s nice to joke about the story, but it’s a lot more fun if the players are really into the game.

Also, this is worth the watch just for Rico’s reaction when he learns that his character is working against the Americans (he was playing as Salim).
