Dealing with the death you wrought is all a part of growing up, Dan.

I work in a prison.

PRISON FOOD IS NOT LIKE CAFETERIA FOOD AND YOU WOULD NOT LIKE IT.

One of the most annoying parts of my day is listening to inmates bitch about the shitty food and how small the portions are. Now, airline food. That's good eatin'.

Also, we don't have weights anymore because, years ago, someone beat another guy over the head with a barbell and then the weights were taken away because maybe violent people shouldn't be given 45 lbs solid metal clubs.

"What the heck" and "Fer chrissakes": such classic Russian bywords!

Also, I think it's funny that several of the "drugs" are named after alcoholic cocktails.

Pretty sure Jack Russells are better than rats. You know those clips where they burst about a hundred balloons a second? That's what farm Jack Russells do to rats.

Agree 100% with Jeff on the Streets of Rage vs. Final Fight thing. I don't even see how there's any contest.

I'm more impressed by what they do in the ring, brother!

Please make every video game have a dark 80's aesthetic, and have Devolver publish them.

I will buy them all.

As a cook, as well as someone who did a small bit in jail as @ultimaxe said

Jail food fucking sucks.

It just has to be sustenance, there's nothing that makes it tastes better like enough salt/spices.

It was the WORST part of being there. The gym mats that are "beds" were better, the dick guards were better, the testosterone fuelled drama was better, having the shitter out in the open in a cell with 15 others was better.

Seems like an ok one of these. Unfortunately it doesn't do anything interesting enough to pull in people like me, who aren't into the genre.

As someone who has had pet rats in his life, I can attest that they are very smart. I have litter trained all of my rats, and taught many to perform tricks beyond what most dogs can do. (jumping through hoops, solving puzzles for treats, responding to certain sounds and fetching specific objects.) It is also a lot of fun to have rats run mazes and watch them learn... they actually have a surprisingly large number of neurons as well. They are also very sneaky.

@quantical: Jack Russels are horribly inbred creatures. Dogs do not occur in nature. They are man made, and most have horrible health problems because of it. Jack Russels in particular have all kinds of problems (have a friend who breeds them). Also, rats cost $5, and a Jack Russel is close to $500. In another comparison, rats have existed for millions of years, and will continue to exist far beyond humans and their man made, inbred, mutant dogs. Rats are one of the most successful creatures ever created by evolution.

Soundtrack ties all elements of this game together. Like Hotline Miami it's a heady mix of a lot of sensational and visceral stuff, maybe unique in gaming?

that's horribly innacurate, dogs evolved along with us they most certainly exist in nature, look at other species of canids

I still like beat em ups and this one looks pretty neat. So I hope I dig it!

Pretty happy to hear that Jeff can praise Streets of Rage 2 and point out the true fact that it's far better than Final Fight.

Why are there baseball bats in 1980s USSR? I find that to be an odd choice.

Jeff being down on Cody in SF is such a weird thing. Being down on Final Fight because of it is downright silly.

Cody's Street Fighter redesign is probably one of the single best redesigns in video game history. They took a pretty generic and boring design and turned him into an original and inventive character, lovingly referencing his origins as as well as adding a whole lot more.
