  • Back 4 Blood.

    You know what, it’s not Left 4 Dead 3, but I love it. It feels like L4D meets Call of Duty. The card system really makes the game for me; building better decks to play higher difficulties with more chaotic corruption cards.

    The corruption cards especially make levels so much more replayable than they already would be. Getting fog over a level or a different type of ridden mutation appearing spices things up nicely.

    It’s also extremely beautiful at points. I love the graphical style. It’s colorful and a tad cartoonish at points, with some genuinely disgusting visuals and insane ruins thrown in for good measure.

    I wouldn’t buy it for full price, but the $9.99 I paid for the full game + DLC was more than worth it, in my opinion.






  • Bonanza Bros, Blast Corps, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Vampire: The Masquerade -Bloodlines, Cruisn World, LEGO Battles, NBA Jam

    Bonanza Bros would be a great couch co-op multiplayer game in a world where we need more. It would benefit from some gameplay tweaks, and adding online play and 4 players would be big.

    Blast Corps was awesome, I found it to be an extremely underrated Rare game. This game in an engine with simulated rubble and crazy explosions would be a gem. I also think changing the camera to first person should be an option at the very least.

    Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days got its cutscenes remastered. I want the full game. It was dripping in atmosphere, and I loved the premise of scouting the new worlds. The graphics could use an upgrade, and the combat could be brought up to par with KH2. But, I love the leveling system and think it would barely need touching.

    Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines is awesome and not super long. It’s extremely buggy, but luckily there’s a modder named Wesp5 who has spend YEARS creating an Unofficial Patch, to a point where all the cut content is restored and it’s essentially feature-complete. There’s a version that just patches the game, and a restored content version. I think he should be given a team and be allowed to curate content and rebalance cut mechanics for a remake. It would be magical.

    Cruisn World is one of my favorite arcade racers ever. It has untouchable vibes, and I’d just like to see that with a nice sheen over it, maybe more levels and vehicles?

    LEGO Battles is an RTS for the Nintendo DS. Put it on PC, nuff said.

    NBA Jam is not very niche. I want a remake, and I don’t care if it’s up-to-date. It’s the best sports game period.

    Maybe I can clear a few things up:

    There once was a man named Worrell-Ernest P. Worrell!

    Even as a lad he was sensitive and caring

    As cunning as a fox and as slippery as a herring

    Whimsical and Mellow- A hale and hearty fellow

    Not formal… Not normal!

    There once was a man named Worrell-Ernest P. Worrell!

    He’s kindly as a saint but he’ll never shirk a battle

    To villains everywhere he’s a burr beneath the saddle

    He’s nimble quick and brawny-His skin is smooth and tawny

    Not mealy… Not really!

    Ah ah ah ah! See the lightning fill the sky!

    Ah ah ah ah! See the angry tide!

    See the blinding rain come down ‘Oh where is a hero now?’ The children cried

    He’s inside… He went inside!

    There once was a man named Worrell-Ernest P. Worrell

    The hero of today is the legend of tomorrow

    And whosoever crosses him shall live their life in sorrow

    For lo the bridges burneth

    That they may not returneth

    To learneth… from Erneth!

    There once was a man named Worrell-Ernest P. Worrell!

    Let’s celebrate this champion, this paragon of virtue

    And should you be his foe, he’ll be sorry if he hurts you

    To some he’s just a man but to others he’s a beacon!

    He sends his mother cash and he calls her every weekend!

    He’s punctual, he’s affable, he’s never quick to quarrel

    He’s moral… He’s Ernest P. Worrell!

    “Hey Vern, look at this here Mejollyneer I just found!” throws to the side “Yep, it’s a good thing I drank my Purity brand milk today, or else I wouldn’t be able to lift that little ol’ inchworm crawling across yer window there, knowhatimean.” “Yes sir, it’s all thanks to Purity brand milk that you see the striking figure of a god before you, Ernest P. Worrellsson.” “ehhehehehehehehe.” Mjolnir returns and smacks Ernest on the side of the head OUGH"



  • Anyone looking for more of this, check out Boolean Union

    I found this site years ago, but I haven’t visited it in forever. They dissect Chick Tracts, and the site is a great way to read the full source material. From a cursory look, it seems they’re still going strong to this day, up to Tract #285 now (there are still new ones being published). It’s not just Chick Tracts, they’ve covered a lot of other evangelical fundamentalist pieces.

    EDIT: I was a bit wrong, they just have every tract CATALOGUED on their site. By no means have they dissected them all, though they have quite a bit to dissect. The page I linked is a list of tracts that, when clicked, redirect to the Jack Chick website, where you can read them in full. Anyone looking for in-depth dissections can find them elsewhere on the Boolean Union site.
