The US had their own Mars Bars which were replaced by Snickers Almond back in the early 2000s. The Mars Bars of the rest of the world are actually pretty much the same as American Milky Way Bars, not to be confused with non-American Milky Way Bars, which are similar to American Three Musketeers Bars, and really the folks who picked candy names really shoulda checked the international market before confusing the poo poo out of people. This expat blog has the most straightforward breakdown I could find.

Staatmeister means Master of the State (in the sense of a country) So he's the State Master of the Master State.

Your story about games that your parents did and didn't allow you to play (or didn't want you to play) reminds me of my first foray into violent 1st person games. I was about 10 or so and I had been pressuring my parents to let me play doom for nearly a year now. They were reserved about it though with all the negative publicity it was getting at the time. My parents however were both close minded AND open minded at the same time (as in, they had their perceptions, but I could change them with time). They decided to get a game that wasn't Doom but a lot like it. They got me Quake (which had JUST come out) instead  For extra irony points. The free shareware disk they got with the full game itself had the first episode of Doom (and other games) on it. mauman fucked around with this message at 23:39 on Jul 8, 2016 |

my mom wouldn't let me play "mature" games like Duke Nukem 3D when I was growing up...but they were totally cool with me playing Diablo, Quake, Warcraft and Starcraft. When my brother got Serious Sam I played the hell out that and asked my mom why she would let me play that but not Duke Nukem (this was also after I pointed out that Duke has parental controls to take out the strippers) and she simply said "he's not as vulgar" I mean, I guess that's true

that and her real reason was a good one, why let your 6 year old play a game where you can give money to strippers (or play a game with strippers at all)? I mean, sure blowing bodies into chunks in Quake is gruesome, and the creature designs in Diablo 1 and 2 are not subtle but you, the player, are not actively engaging with those elements

My mother didn't really care about the content in video games that I played until after I was old enough to vote. My parents had me and my sister with them when they saw Silence of the Lambs at a drive-in movie theater. I was four and my sister was two. I only remember trying to watch the other movies and nothing else. But I do remember being at my uncle's house and watching him play Doom and other DOS games with my dad. My aunt even knitted a mouse cover that was a grey mouse with felt whiskers and a top hat.

I used to sit at the computer when I was like 4 or 5 with my dad and brutally slaughter dozens of pinkies with the chainsaw. I also have fond memories of beating my dad 60-11 at Duke 3d deathmatch when I was about eleven. We never deathmatched eachother again.

I watched my Dad play through Doom, Quake, Doom 2, Final Doom, Quake 2, and a few other games as a wee lad. When Quake three came out we actually played some death matches. And when Return to Castle Wolfenstein rolled around I watched him play that occasionally too, then played it a bit myself, and when Enemy territory came around, we played quite a few matches together. id Software was kinda big in our house, though my dad still hasn't played the new Doom yet and I keep trying to get him to play it because it's so good. My parents never really had a problem with me playing violent video games, though my mother didn't want me playing some old stealth action game for the PS1 for some reason, so I just played some Mortal Kombat and maybe some Tekken.

I remember that playing Enemy territory with pubs was painful, 5 field ops all trying to spam airstrikes and artillery barrages at random places. (mainly your own spawn)

all this talk is reminding me of when we taught my dad how to play Goldeneye he ended up not playing that with us but when we got Diablo 2 a year later he was all over that poo poo. I'll bet he would still be playing that if I had left the disks at his house

ssmagus posted:I remember that playing Enemy territory with pubs was painful, 5 field ops all trying to spam airstrikes and artillery barrages at random places. (mainly your own spawn) I never belonged to a clan while playing Wolf:ET but there was one server run by a clan that would run a good mix of custom maps and rule sets and as a 64 player server there was usually always room for others who were unaffiliated - I think for several years I almost exclusively played on that server. If it was full I just wouldn't play. Man, the number of hours I sunk into that game; makes me miss being a teen. Wish I could remember the name but I suspect it's long gone by now.

My friend's dad had no problem letting us play Doom, Wolf3D and Leisure Suit Larry on his old 386 when we were 9-10, but wouldn't buy my friend a copy of Destruction Derby 2 for PlayStation because the crashes in that game were too realistic or something. Of course, a couple of years later he didn't seem to mind us playing Carmageddon all day long on their new Pentium, so I'm not sure what was going on there.

Strange choice of aesthetics, it reminds me somehow of X-Com: Terror from the Deep. Also died when I saw the bats and the first boss. This expansion is so dorky, but already loving it but looks like a pain in the rear end to play though.

I'm only about half way through the video but I'd really love to see some of the design docs on this game so we can figure out why the hell they thought swapping all the colours for their neon variants then plastering swastikas on literally every surface was a good idea. Not really sad that I missed out on this title when I was a kid...

Ok, I like Coffee, and you should keep him coming for all doom related stuff. But Rushputin HAS to be around for anything Wolfenstein related. Also, the chaingun sound sounds like something out of a  samurai movie.

In between the futuristic look, all the neon, the chaingun pickup sound, and the Wehraboo theory, I think this might be the Blood Dragon of Wolfenstein 3D.
