It Has Been [0] Shitstorms Since A Country Has Been Offensively Misidentified

I dunno, do Canadian history classes cover much history in regards to Asian countries? I had a Southeast Asian education for most of my school life and we didn't learn much world history even though Malaysia and Taiwan aren't that far off from each other.

On another note, Detention looks really interesting and I was just thinking of getting it myself when the jumpscare hit and I was suddenly reminded of why I don't play spoopy games in the first place.

My darling fiance had us rewatch the ShitStorm video for Anatomy last night. I forgot how terrified Pat was the entire time, and having him so scared only freaked me out even more. That game is too loving creepy. :ohdear:

Paige might just be the worst video game player who ever lived. This cup head video is some dire poo poo, wow. Least she's not dunking on the game for her being terrible at it, and she's staying high energy dying within seconds of most rounds

To be fair to her, the game does get noticeably harder with two players on the screen. Enemies get like a 50% health boost and boss patterns tend to be faster and/or more aggressive. That stuff goes away when one player gets knocked out permanently in a run so you end up with a game where you're actually incentivized to not rez your buddy when they die.

It's a super weird design decision that I don't agree with at all.

The thing is without some changes I can totally see how 2 Charge shots and 2 supers would annihilate the difficulty curve. And making bosses giant bags of HP to compensate wouldn't be too fun.
Plus I really enjoy seeing all the crazy situations 2players get in trying to resurrect each other.

My favorite case of the guys getting a country wrong was Intrusion 2, where Pat and Woolie spend the whole video praising the Eurojank when it was Ruskijank.

I feel like the term "eurojank" has wound up encompassing everything from eastern europe to russia anyways, so it's not too surprising for them to say that.

I couldn't remember what country's flag they kept misinterpreting so I went back and watched.
They kept saying the Russian flag was Poland's, which is offensively hilarious.

Woolie's problem is more a lack of reading comprehension.

*After being told in-game for like the 15th time in Policenauts that Tokugawa is running a massive Organ smuggling scheme while looking at row after row of biomorts on the loving Moon*
Pat: They are literally harvesting these people for Organs!
Woolie: We don't know that yet :hurr:

The Policenauts LP is some "Makoto was blinded by acid" levels of making jokes and assuming the jokes are canon and then being shocked that it's actually something the game already told you about instead

Has anyone honestly managed to beat Night Trap in the intended way? Especially playing the old version where the video thumbnails don't move, that seems like you'd eventually have to just memorise every single event to get the timing right.

People played games like dragon's lair which was pretty much a memorization game. People had different standards back then.
