Worth Playing: 11/13/2013

I don't understand what Asslevania is trying to accomplish. You're making fun of a franchise while simultaneously ripping it off and providing inferior gameplay in the bargain. So why should I want to play your game then? If this is supposed to be an appreciation in the form of imitation thing; it failed. If it's supposed to be funny; it failed. If it is supposed to critique some apparent problem with Castlevania games; it failed.

Now TERRORDROME, that's effective endearing imitation. :)

I just finished a full playthrough of Terrordrome as Re-Animator. It's... pretty awesome. Thinking of capturing its janky majesty on video, if anyone's into that.

Patrick should start shout-casting competitive Terrordrome. Also,

Maybe Patrick should find out if a game is worth playing before presenting a game as worth playing. Just saying.

Oh man... I haven't played Terrordrome since it was in alpha, then forgot all about it! Figured it would get a C&D long before it got finished. Downloading now!

Edit: Ouch. It's just as buggy and poorly-made as it was back then. :( The novelty will keep me playing for a bit, but this is really disappointing. At least it's really funny and bizarre to see Pinhead fight hand-to-hand.

That first game is definitely not worth playing.

err kinda terrible episode of this.. starts off with terrible game moves on to a puzzle game and makes bad jokes while struggling with painfully simple puzzles (after a bit I skipped past the puzzle game as it was too painful to watch). Then moves on to a neat looking fighter where he mostly looks at the move lists and says the title of the the game wrong. I mean I don't expect the best thing ever from this segment but maybe something kind of professional?

@patrickklepek Call it Terror-dome one more time muthafucka....one more time.

I've know about Terrordrome for yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaars. Glad it's getting some spotlight on GB.

Ugh, that first game. I even recognize the voice as from a flash animator from years back, and while his humor was crass, it was usually framed around something a little more clever than this.

DROME!

Asslevania was just depressing to watch...and why was it Worth Playing?

That first game was.... Gross. Immediately skipped that part.

Maybe the problem with Terrordome is that you were using the analog stick and not that the game's bad...

Terrordome Scrub League PLEASE

@edmundus: Third.... TERRORDROME ON FRIDAY!!

Oh man, Terrordrome looks amazing. I love the music and sound design and feels like the characters are recreated with some amount of respect. As someone growing up on a lot of those movies, I still can't really see the appeal of the guy from Scream, never saw that as a really scary or powerful horror figure. For my money, they could have taken him out and put in Pennywise instead. But that's just me.

that confuses me too, I thought it would be an addition to Worth Reading, where I assume he reads all the articles he links to before compiling and posting the list of articles he thinks we should read.

Jumping blindly into a bunch of games is better suited for quick looks, unprofessional fridays or spookin' with scoops, the title of this feature implies that there's been a selection process and that these are indeed a series of games that we should check out that we may have missed out on otherwise.

Watching Patrick play puzzle games is painful.

I was totally on board with Asslevania until it started doing everything it did. I'm perfectly fine with dumb humor and poop jokes when it's executed well (see: Don't Shit Your Pants), but this game was just an abomination. Newgrounds is a wilderness; there have been many great games dumped in there, but then there's that kind of fucking goddamn puerile nonsense. We're not over that particular brand of condescending Internet humor that was popular when I was in middle school thirteen years ago? The game's creator's profile page says that he's 31. Fucking 31, and he makes that game. Frigging hell, guys. I don't even want to humanity anymore.

Oh man I was laughing my ass so hard at the Terrordrome part when Patrick gets his ass whooped by Jason and then fuckin Jason just says fuck it and leaves. My dog was just staring at me like shut the hell up. lmao!!

I thought that opening bit of Asslevania was alright, even though Patrick had already started to show his disdain for it. I had to agree as soon as that emo chode face line hit though. Jesus.

Terrordrome really does a good job at capturing what it would have been like if the horror movie companies teamed up in the mid 90s to make a janky cheap mortal kombat knockoff. I approve of this.

I blame Family Guy for impressing upon a generation of teens/20-something that "The main character is incredibly stupid, get it?" is sufficient to make a comedy.

I love how Terrordrome just has tense horror music playing for the entirety of the match.

You don't decide if a game is worth playing before you put it in this feature?

Thank you for reminding me how infuriating it can be to watch someone play a puzzle game. :3

Jason. Jason? JASON!

Asslevania makes that Ninja Gaiden Z game look like Blazing Saddles in comparison

Did someone at some point actually laugh at the thought of 'Asslevania: Symphony of the Butt'. Like...Does that bad 'humour' really exist in our world? Holy crap. Well done to @patrickklepek for sticking with it for 8 minutes.

@acoustic: Right? The title alone is enough to make me uninterested. Who thinks it's a good idea to parody a classic title with negativity instead of homage? Gameplay looks rote as well. Pass.

Jason with the timerscam

Wait, you would expect a game called "Asslevania" to not have really horrible, cringe-inducing attempts at humor?

That Asslevania game clearly says it's made in 2014. How did you get it? Patrick, are you a warlock?

I am totally playing terrordome

Seconded, that would be hilarious.

oh my god!

Holy Christ, that first game. Uggggghhhh.

I think "Alright you emo chode face!" can be the new "Horse, meet rider."

Oh boy, you pick up a game like Asslevania: Symphony of the Butt and expect the humor to be better than that.

Damnit Patrick you're supposed to zone with Pinhead c'mon.

I demand a Terrordome segment on Unproffessional Friday.

FAKE PINHEAD is a total FRAUD

Jason to good. Needs a Nerf. #nerfjason

Is pumpkinhead just a repainted xenomorph?
