He was also the “antagonist” in the game “The Magic Circle”, a word game where you play a bunch of unfinished games by a game developer who struck it big early, and failed to deliver on any kind of follow up project. It includes a long monologue from him near the end of the game, and a bunch of commentary tracks in his unfinished games.

If it is a comedy role they might be making a gallows comedy about the Nazi's early days and their clown shoes comedy Beer Hall antics in Bavaria.

I heard about that one, it sounds like basically Rusty as a game developer. The premise is apparently basically trying to finish a game from the inside.

The Magic Circle is a pretty fun game. Worth checking out. Yes, the protagonist is pretty much Rusty but a failure atwith so much unrealized potential at video games.

mike nelson is a christian social conservative but he's not like a xenophobe insurrectionist chud so he's fine. for what it's worth, mike nelson's alt-MST3K project, rifftrax, had some pretty yikes jokes back in the day about trans folks but when these things get pointed out they're quick to go back and edit out things that are more broadly accepted as offensive now than they were considered in 2008 or whenever. no foot dragging or grandstanding about free speech, they just remove the objectionable content and that's that, which is pretty good for white midwestern boomers. also the other main rifftrax guys, kevin murphy and bill corbett, are pretty loud and left online - iirc bill is in DSA

Alot of MST3K/Rifftrax aged like room temperature milk. They went for the low hanging fruit pretty often in most episodes.

I've had that experience rewatching old Rifftrax rather a lot, but I can't recall MST3K ever cheaply making GBS threads on my personhood or anything, but I usually only rewatch like four episodes, so I suppose that's to be expected.

That's disappointing.

That's disappointing.

Joel-era MST3k especially was not afraid to make some jokes for the liberal arts majors in the audience
that is to say, they were okay with the sort of joke that'd hit for like 10% of the audience because that's one joke in a line of 10

but rifftrax I think dumbed it down, for lack of a better phrase, and in doing so opened themselves up to lower brow stuff that'd age less gracefully

I watched a lot of Rifftrax during their early years, they had a few bangers but they were more miss than hit a lot of the time. A couple of franchises in particular come to mind, like I enjoyed their recordings for the Spiderman and Matrix trilogies quite a lot.

There's also a Rifftrax Short that a I shared with a group of friends because it was good: More Dangerous Than Dynamite. They put this one up on Youtube I think becasue so many people heard about it and bought it already

Watching it again, it's... fine. Maybe it just gets harder to laugh as we grow older :shrug:

It's like Card Sharks, by Accolade for the Commodore 64. That's what I hoped those Poker Night games were, and I was right.

Anyway, the game is about hanging out with some cartoon video game friends of yours and playing some poker. Sometimes they say cool or funny stuff.

People like all kinds of games, tastes vary, etc.

Honestly if they did a third game I say bring back the full casts from both of the previous games alongside another dozen or so new characters and let you mix and match, which yes would be an enormous pain in the rear end on multiple levels but it would also be really cool

Ghost Leviathan

Exploration is ill-advised.
Ash had a whole offscreen adventure with Doctor Orpheus, and Brock talked about how Cave Johnson and Jonas Venture used to hang out.

The whole dynamic works shockingly well. Bit of a funny contest of 'who's seen the most insane poo poo' that is tough competition, but ends up being taken by Sam and Max, because well, seriously those two have seen everything and then some.

A third game would be great if you could have Heavy and Brock in at the same time and they just spend the whole game trying to outdo each other in tales of brutality and violence
