I stopped at the same time when their deodorant suddenly gave me severe chemical burns. Many people complained and nothing ever happened. Fuck Colgate.

It’s a fucking circus…
All the clowns are here.
Overall I really enjoyed it as well. But I never went into it expecting it was going to be the original like a lot of others did. Most episodes were solid. The cast worked off each other very well. It’s clear there was a ton of love that went into the whole production.
However, one of my biggest complaints was that Faye’s character leaned way too far into tomboyishnes.
My other huge one was how much of a pussy they turned Vicious into. I appreciated the arc, but it turned HBO so fast. Making Julia the mastermind and turning Vicious into such a snivelling little prick was just bullshit.
Then there was Ed…
I mean… Do we really need to do anything now that there’s a confirmed Monkeypox case in the US? Nah…
It’s pretty depressing… I’ve already looked up how to apply for asylum and what countries would take us.
Excellent, this surely won’t have any far reaching consequences.
I loved having people arguing with me and saying “At least my conscience is clear.”
How’s your conscience now??? Still feeling good about your decision?
That dials 911 on Android. That was a fun feature to discover on my new phone. I’m sitting there, trying to turn up the volume for a podcast and it’s not working. Pull my phone out of my pocket and see that it’s on a countdown before it dials out! The count is down to 3! No, no, no, no, no, no, no! Cancel! Hang up! What the fuck!? Why is that a thing!?
That shit got disabled real quick.
There’s been so many my work area… Like I’m regularly going home with ash coating my car. Take it in for a wash, it’s coated again the next day. We’re in desperate need of some rain here or the whole area’s gonna go up.
Picked it up the other night and streamed it. Basically, I recommend it if you’re a Rocky Horror fan. If you’re not, you’re getting a somewhat mediocre and extremely short $10 platformer.
The good… It was super funny. On top of the obvious show story, there’s a whole mess of references to 8bit games that hit just right. I had to stop and take a break a couple times because I was laughing so hard. The music is great, but instrument choices are a little too “farty” sounding in my opinion. Still enjoyed it, sang along and said callbacks during cutscenes.
The bad stuff…
Some of the deaths are kinda cheap. There’s platforms that will collapse that have no indication of such. The only way to find out is when they fall. Likewise, most of the hazards in the game are spiky balls and weights that swing or fall to kill you. There’s moments where stuff falls from off screen. Only way to find them is when they’re coming down to smash you.
There are only 3 regular enemies throughout the game, a screaming skull, a brain with googly eyes, and a zombie/skeleton maid thing. In my opinion, they could have thrown in Transylvanians, dogs, could have even justified mutants or something and called them failed experiments.
There’s only like 3 levels, visited by each character. Each run through the level gets harder with slight pathing variations. Also, Brad is the only character who takes more than one hit. Janet and Dr. Scott are instant death. Doesn’t impact things a ton because in their levels, as getting hit would probably be instant death anyway.
I feel like they really missed the opportunity to include a church level. Instead the game starts off in the car on your way to the castle. Could have had skeletons and zombies in the graveyard, ended the level with either Pastor Tim Curry fighting you because he was pissed about you writing in the church doors. Could have even called him an asshole. Also, perfect opportunity to do an American Gothic Riffraff/Torgo cross reference.
Lastly, boss fights are super random, but ultimately the same. They have a jump and an attack. They’ll randomly do either one. No patterning, so getting hits can be erratic. I only got hung up on the last one.
Ultimately, $10 was cheaper than going to buy a ticket. The game only takes around an hour to complete. I ran through it twice and still found it enjoyable. Whether that seems worth it is up to you. Normally, I’d have been a little annoyed at the play time and there’s obvious flaws, but I still enjoyed it a lot because of the theme. It’s an established story. They respected the content and didn’t go nuts and try to deviate from it. Having grown up with LJN’s travesties, I enjoyed this. Get it if you like the show.
Wait till you see what happens in chess.
Maybe it was more like Project X and someone saved a bunch of super intelligent monkeys… Probably should secure any aircraft, cause otherwise they’re heading straight for the Everglades!
The entire legal system has taken a wait and see attitude about all these cases because none of them want to be the one who puts a president in jail, and look what’s happened.
Could have set the precedent and saved us all a lot of Sorrow, but fuck it, a guilty man walks free, right into the white house.
They are all now complicit in what he does.
Throw… the… fucker… in… jail…
The rest of us would have already been in there!
I have done my duty as a citizen.
Ironically not a movie about democracy…
Didn’t you ever play with a kid who always cried “NO FAIR!” any time he lost something? That’s, like, half our country right now…
Free and fair for them, not for you…
I enjoy Bones coffee, if you’d like a recommemdation. They have a sample bundle so you can try their different flavors without committing to a whole bag. Lots of coupons available online too.
