The story for the game is pretty crazy too. This pro dodge ball player gets too cocky, does a super shot that goes off into the crowd in the stadium, hurting and killing a lot of people including his wife, and so he decides to hold a tournament to dissuade people from playing it. I'm not making this up.

I forget where but I recall reading a theory about Japanese games always including elaborate narratives. Basically it posited that since in the 70's and 80's computers were very limited in the number of objects they could populate to a screen at one time, Asian developers had an advantage in terms of cramming more text on the screen, seeing as how one kanji and one roman letter are the same size to a computer. This made it so that primitive games made in Japan quickly took advantage of the ease of conveying long and complex thoughts, thus putting the emphasis on story-driven experiences, while western developers tended toward more action-oriented games which required little or no reading. Maybe this was talked about on Extra Credits? Who knows. There is a distinct possibility that this is all horseshit (it is definitely aporcyphal, being that the only source so far is "some fucker with a let's play") but it's a cute idea anyway.

It also serves the pressing need for some kind of explanation as to why Deathsmiles had 9,000 lines of dialogue.

I WAS gonna have a post explaining some of the history of the archie sonic comic but then I got sidetracked by how many different notable people are named Michael Gallagher

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Gallagher

This includes the first main writer for the Archie Sonic comic, who did stuff for Mad Magazine, and was the nephew of George Gately (the guy who created Heathcliff), and thus by extension cousin to Peter Gallagher (the current Heathcliff guy, known for giving us such jewels as "I'm Bad News", the Garbage Ape, and the Ham Helmet)

Alright, it's Monday and here's the 100th game we've played on Mom Can I Have Another Dollar. We got King of the Monsters 2! I can't recall if it's mentioned in this episode or not, but this is the game that made Nick and Kyle decide to make this show. Also, requested by Danger Pumpkin. (Or did you want the first one? Eh, oh well.)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqeVd5gA1aQ

Just in case anyone was curious or even realized that we record in Orlando, we're all fine. I only say that, because a surprising amount of people in my family seemed to think I frequent the gay clubs.

As of right now, we have 95 games on our "big list of games to play", and that's for next "season".

So apologies if it seems like we take a while to get requests out, but we try to keep it interesting. I won't reveal the games on the list, since I don't like the idea of people looking up anything about weird games and learning all the secrets about it. I think of it, you're experiencing the game the way we did. Going in blind.

I will however list the requested games, just to make sure that we got everyone. In no particular order:

NBA Jam - FredMSloniker
Cadillacs and Dinosaurs - Nebiros
Metal Slug 3 - Shivershorts
The Punisher - Kinfolk910, Phanos
B.Rap Boys - Cangelosi
Two Tigers - Kangra
Jurassic Park Lost World -Hoss Corncave
Looping- Mark Green
Venture- Mark Green
Spiderman: The video game -OK Octopus, Phanos, CaptainRufus, PSWII60
Spin Master -Kuerig
Twinkle Star Sprites -Smoke
Crazy Taxi -Kinfolk910
NARC -Cangelosi
Guardians -Simon the Digger
Rhythm Tengoku -The Ayshkerbundy
Ganbare Ginkun -The Ayshkerbundy
Arm Wrestling -The Ayshkerbundy
Rampart - Hyphz, Bellmaker, Captain Rufus
Robocop -CaptainRufus

If we missed something, let me know, and I'll throw it on there. Hopefully we'll hit at least one game per person next session, which is what we normally try to do.

Thanks for all the support guys. It's always kinda cool to realize that someone out there is watching. . . By choice. . . I assume.

A few 2-player recommendations:
Wild West Cowboys of M.O.O. Mesa (Awesome Konami run & gun, based on a short-lived cartoon I have never seen. Would be a great follow-up to Sunset Riders, if you play that.)
Snow Bros. 2: With New Elves
Blue's Journey
Art of Fighting 3: The Path of the Warrior (still maybe the prettiest fighting game ever made)

M.O.O. Mesa would make for the most entertaining video, I think, but Snow Bros. 2 would absolutely provide material for new border art. Don't spoil that one for yourselves if you decide to do it.

Are you still taking recommendations? Because I have one you might enjoy. It's a 2 player co-op vertical shmup game called Areo Fighters 2 on the NeoGeo (also known as Sonic Wings 2 in Japan, but I highly recommend you get the engrish version). Be sure you get Areo Fighters 2, and not 1, as 1 is missing a lot of the, uh, 'charm' 2 has. Be sure you carefully view the character select screen and don't skip the cutsceens.

For a college health class, I got a speaking assignment on yonic and phallic imagery, where we were encouraged to use visual aids. I took the opportunity to draw dicks everywhere, just like the founding fathers intended.

I remember when the game first came out and how much Bullshit I thought he was. The fact that the first round is pretty much a joke does make him absurdly easy compared to other fighting games out there though.

Here's part 3. Probably not gonna play any more games that are as popular and widely available as this again. Also recording more stuff starting next week, and since we've last recorded it looks like a ton of emus got updated and makes several games actually playable so hopefully that will make for some interesting stuff. A lot more 3D games from the early to mid 2000s at the least. Probably gonna try to retool Head to Head to work towards a wager at the end of the "season" to hopefully make the concept more entertaining.
