Day 2 of a really bitchin’ headache so I thought I’d just run through and share images that got caught in the trap in the disposal…
I’m thinking that tomorrow I shall put thoughts into words regarding China, Russia, the Middle East, and how those all clash with the West – and why I worry about these things.
Who here can remember one of the all-time best games, right up there next to Half Life, Deus Ex, and Far Cry (before the Trigens)?
Yes, Redneck Rampage®!!
Shown here is a Rabid Jackalope heading towards our hero, Leonard. What’s he firing? He has: A bolt on the crossbow. A stick of dyanmite lashed to the bolt for a redneck RPG. The whole works shoved up a chicken’s hoo-hoo for a guided rpg. Oh yeah.
There’s your buddy, Bubba. He’s continually getting captured by evil clones of your neighbors and too stoopid to get himself out of trouble. (sounds like a Star Wars plot)
Enclosed in the Redneck Rampage box is a small-town newspaper (really and truly) called the Hickston Hog. An advert inside had this little lady in the Personals section as I recall.
**update: just found it. You can read it here: redneck_rampage_manual.
Moving right along. Chicken anyone?
If they aren’t properly cooked, they’re not going to hang around for Round 2.
Oh I couldn’t resist.
This pic, titled “How to Ruin a Romantic Evening” gets it spot on. Of course everyone knows you don’t serve a blush wine in a hot-tub. You steer towards the Gewürz.
Heh heh. Redneck Rampage. That game was so epic that there truly is no comparison. It was so tongue-in-cheek that I wonder what happened to the Redneck Rampage / Leisure Suit Larry / Bard’s Tale-esque type of humor that is currently missing in games these days for adults. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good serious storyline that grabs you and won’t let go, but whatever happened to laughing you ass off whilst doing so? The last game to have come out recentl that met any of that criteria was Destry All Humans, but that is only one in an ocean of other titles.
…And now I have just realized that I play WAAAAY too many video games.
