Makes sense. I don’t enjoy many moderns ones, myself. I got into the genre because I liked being a walking arsenal taking on enemies by the dozens at a time. Not because I wanted to carry around two guns with barely enough ammo to reload twice and tactically fight three or four enemies at a time from behind cover.
 
I traded my N64 and all my games at the time for my brother’s PS1 just so I coul buy Grandia for it and play unhindered. No regrets. That game was awesome.

@Jomok0  
I love his videos, they’re well part together and his desire to be as evil as possible in every game he plays makes for some good content.

@Officer Hotpants  
My era was more N64 and PS1. I didn’t find the cool shooty games until I tried out Doom 2016 despite not really liking shooters at the time. Turns out I like shooters a lot, just not modern style ones lmao.
 
 
@Havoc  
Man I used to watch that guy waaay back, back when he went by zxnoregretzzxz and did long, mostly unedited minecraft lets plays. His content and style are basically polar opposites now lol.

If I had the cash, I would get a butch of the games CallMeKevin has played.

@Jomok0  
Hell, I grew up in that era and missed most of them. I didn’t play Duke Nukem until I bought the 20th anniversary edition about a year ago. Had never even heard of Blood. Played a shit ton of the Shadow Warrior demo, though.

If all goes well, I might buy unreal, dusk and serious Sam first encounter and second encounter hd.

@Officer Hotpants  
Gonna have to get to them sometime too. Dude’s shown me a world of boomer shooters I never heard of lol

@Jomok0  
While I was already interested, his videos are what pushed me over the edge and got me to buy Dusk and Amid Evil.

@Officer Hotpants  
Kinda yeah. I just recently started watching his content and that’s how I got into Postal.He also got me to buy Blood: Fresh Supply.

@Jomok0  
You a Civvie fan, too?

@Officer Hotpants  
That does sound really great and I’ll have to look for it lol.
 
 
@Havoc  
Postal 2, the one everybody loves, is a broken, buggy mess of a game that lags like hell, crashes regularly, and is made entirely of juvenile peepee poopoo jokes and offensive stereotypes. You can chase a woman down the street pissing on her, and then get swarmed by cartoonishly middle eastern terrorists and groups of activists who think videogames are too violent lol.  
I personally have fallen in love with it quite quickly.

@Officer Hotpants  
I’ve never played postal, but since I keep hearing good things I might give it a go.

@Jomok0  
There was a really good WAD I had once that took all the vanilla levels from the first game and expanded them to be about 2-3 times larger. I’ve never been able to relocate it, though. Real shame. It was really good.
 
@Mitchy  
I keep meaning to play that. I dabbled with it once and uninstalled it because it seemed boring and unfinished. Then a little while back I discovered Civvie and learned that it just has a super rough start.

@Jomok0  
I love that feature in postal 2 where if you die, people crowd around your body and say things about you, and then kick your corpse… sometimes they go all apeshit and kill each other over your body

@Officer Hotpants  
Yeah I’ve only ever heard good things about it and it seems well beloved, what I’ve seen of it looks pretty great too. Usually though I’m looking for mostly vanilla style content.

@Jomok0  
It’s wonderful. Sometimes I just turn on infinite ammo, give myself the chaingun and repaint a level or two.

Started playing Postal 2. It’s pretty fun lol. You just play as a trailer trash psychopath in a small town of crazy people where basically everybody is armed.
 
@Officer Hotpants  
Actually I haven’t even tried Brutal Doom yet. I’ll get to it eventually lmao.

@Azure Fang  
Sounds about right. So long as you don’t pick a fight with Kirby, he’s your friend. And after the fighting is done, your his friend again. He’s really forgiving.

@Havoc  
Come to think of it, I could see Kirby and Thingpone getting along swimmingly, in a dark sort of way. Well… that or fighting viciously over territory and food.

@Azure Fang  
But Kirbs is wholesome ball of joy.

@Havoc  
Iunno. Maybe it’s because I didn’t grow up with the games (somehow, I never touched a single Kirby game until I was 30), but he just never appealed to me. I suppose I really should give them another go sometime.

@Azure Fang  
Characters. Just as a whole.

@Havoc  

 
Are we talking in terms of mascot characters, or Smash characters?

@Officer Hotpants  
@Azure Fang  
Let’s move talk of Chucklefuck to the VG BS thread, shall we? Let this be the happy video game thread of escapism
 
On another note, Kirby is still best boi.
