@stealydan: Given that California literally *just* was declared to be approaching yet another drought, hot on the heels of our last 10-year drought, I can promise you that any notion of two showers a day is NOT a "privileged California-ass" thing.
Since Brad was born in the mid-West, I blame Iowa. Or Idaho, I forget which.
This certainly looks competent, but I'll admit I was more into the game before I realized that the protagonist was just a dude in a costume and not ACTUALLY a flannel-wearing bear.
@thainatos: Sure, you can fiddle with settings to make the game run *better*, but that wouldn't be accurate to the PC-88's performance, and Jeff is a history-purist when it comes to his emulators.
Yep. Then he had 5B lives, then 5A lives, then 49 lives.
Also, Jeff you magnificent human being, you broke my brain by showcasing this absolutely insane game. I had to play some Spelunky to clear my mind of this...atrocity, and all I could think was "My eyes aren't bleeding! And it runs silky-smooth!"
This the kind of comment we need, but do not deserve.
Also, the day GB produces videos not because they want to, but because the internet-hordes forced them to, is the day I hold a funeral for this site and cancel my subscription. Fortunately, there's no indication that'll happening.
I feel like what people have been saying for years about the West/East comparison
I mean, there's no "comparison" because they're all on the same website, work for the same business, and are friends with the same people (including their other-coast co-workers). This "Team East / West" business is silly.
Yup. Par for the course, unfortunately. Jeff often decries the lack of B-tier games, and then craps all over them when he comes across them
...except for the B-tier games that he likes, of which there are several.
People always seem to forget that (like movie critics with movies), game-reviewers play a bajillion more games than the average consumer does. This might be the only game featuring Nazi-Zombies that the average gamer plays within the past few years. This is probably the 23rd-or-so nazi-zombie-shooter that the professional game journalist has played in the past few years.
(Tangentally, I REALLY wish some video game developers just went all-in on the Weird Wars IP. With supplements like "Africa Korpse", "Land of the Rising Dead" and "Hell Freezes Over", an otherwise standard "Occult WW2" setting could be enhanced with idea of SS Blood-mages and vampires; Imperial Japanese scientists "recycling" kamikaze pilots to launch suicide attacks again...and again...and again; Soviet scientists creating human-ape hybrids while Baba Yaga indiscriminately wrecking everyone's shit and the Allies OSS messing around with telekinetic and psychic covert operatives, this type of game could be so much more than "shoot the AI that slowly walks toward you".)
