Maybe all the backwards decals are so at least one side can be read when using rear-view mirrors for other goofy looking vehicle pilots? Yeah, that'll work as an explanation!

Infinitely many points, but zero length.
Did you guys do a lot of cuts in that video, or is the game naturally this disjointed?

My money is on this game being like that game you played in elementary school where you fold up a piece of paper and one kid draws the head, one draws the torso, and the third draws the legs. Only in MindJack's case, no one knows what they were supposed to draw so they just guessed.

AWFUL SOMETHING
Obviously stairs are a luxury item because everything is thwarted by them. Rather than invent something that could navigate stairs, they just made stairs a violation of building codes, and now only rich people can afford to bribe the right officials when it comes time to replace them.

Between RtH, Dark, and this horrible abomination, we've got some quality LP madness.

I don't think anything will ever top RtH for sheer insanity and crazy broken animations/gameplay though.

What this game glosses over is how huge NERKAS is. See, NERKAS is basically what happens if Umbrella was as successful and popular as Microsoft (in terms of Windows, not the Xbone). In addition to creating loving everything in this universe (note that the barriers in the airport had the NERKAS logo), they revolutionized the world by creating the Mindwave technology. This headset let people control all technology with their mind, not just basic appliances.

Happy memorial day everybody. Let's try to remember the plot in honor of it. It turns out the nefarious NERKAS is giving its customers brain tumors and trying to cover it up. Rebecca was trying to expose the company, possibly leading to the endless amount of Squawkers pursuing her and Jim. Jim and Rebecca have to survive long enough to learn all the NERKAS-related secrets. Just who runs this NERKAS, and what does he or she have to gain by tumorizing so many brains? What grandiose location will the two cavort to next? Watch and find out!

Luckily I managed to find it on youtube. I hope this clears things up
