It is also pretty entertaining when they get excited about video games.

Pretty futuristic for them to have recorded the entire V/O for this game over Skype.


This QTE sequence makes Shenmue look like The Walking Dead

Best audio is literally the canned "... Mission... Accomplished" from Rambo 2.

Rambo just knocked out the same cop in three different outfits in under a minute.

I was thinking of getting this game on a Steam sale sometime in the future when it's five bucks because hey Rambo, but I didn't think it would be this bad. I mean obviously it was going to be bad, but what the hell.

Finally, a game that takes the idea of "Let's sync low quality movie audio to Source Replays in Garry's Mod" and takes it to the max.

Also why is he killing everyone? WHY?

NON LETHAL GUNPLAY.

Haha the failure mode for the QTEs is a slow and needlessly brutal stabbing of the cops. If you succeed you just bonk them on the head.

I like how the First Blood section tried to follow the movie and then just gave up and had Rambo gunning down all the cops.

I'm pretty sure if you fire at a cop you're hosed either way, lethal or not.

So thanks for that mechanic, Rambo!

Notice that you still get points for killing them, just not as many as for a disarm. It seems like the best way to get points is to disarm then kill every cop.

Killing cops is only -15 from what I can tell, and successfully reloading your gun is 175.

So this is going to end like Hitman: Blood Money with Rambo popping out of his casket and gunning down his own funeral, right?

I don't think Video Game Rambo gets to monologue about the horrors of war after killing more cops than the heisters in Payday.

Whoever posted about the boss fight music in Donkey Kong, it seems that most of the boss songs in that game pretty much own:

Haha, they just skipped like half of the second movie right there.

Also the book First Blood actually did have Rambo killing a bunch of cops but the filmmakers made a decision that Rambo doing that would make it impossible to sympathize with him.

If you ever get a chance to read them, the Rambo books are really goddamn interesting from the perspective of how hosed up PTSD is and how it can turn you into a monster. But instead Rambo is a hero and cool and he doesn't kill cops (in the book he slices a cops throat with a straight razor).

Holy poo poo thirty-three United States Dollars.

That's... something.


Altough if the "Trautman Challenges" features that Richard Crenna stock photo prominently, I might cave in.

Watching last week UPF before the new one starts, is the segment after Gangbeast worth watching after this week is over or it safe to skip?

I'm pretty sure Gangbeast is the last segment?

Edit: Oh sorry, I forgot the Genesis stuff. Yeah, watch that if you like it when they play old games.
