I think my absolute favorite thing about MDickie games is that for some reason all of them have tribunals whenever your character inevitably gets arrested, including the recent school sim one, and its clearly just a coin flip on whether you get a slap on the wrist or not for throwing a bomb at someone in school

i recently had surgery and when i caught that bit in the stream i laughed so hard i actually thought i snapped something and was going to die, so i can say that MDickie's Old School gave me a trascendental experience before even playing it

Thanks, now I have tears in my eyes laughing at a kindergardener desperately trying to escape into a hole he just dug like Bugs Bunny while three adults try to tackle him and sirens go off in the school. I assume that in addition to Wrestling Empire, this game also has some Hard Time DNA.

my favorite thing about his school game specifically is that time passes at a minute per real second and doesn't stop for dialogue, so it's nearly impossible to make it to classes or for anything to happen in them if you do

The part at roughly 11 minutes in where he finds a random bundle of dynamite in class, gets attacked, and somehow manages to set the entire classroom on fire is amazing, as is the part where...

I think it's much simpler than that. Animatronics are expensive, and they have a bottom line to chase.

I agree it's mostly price and :effort: maintaining or updating them, like how Disney barely does animatronics anymore. But on top of that, some marketing types are probably going on about how they're marketing poison and don't want to cash in on Five Nights at Freddy's being all the rage.

Been a while since I recognized something that was on a RLM black spine pile: I recognize that mastadon cartoon since it was on a box set of cheap toons I rented when I was a kid. I earnestly don't know how that arrived to a brazilian dub studio to then be shipped to Portugal alongside other PAL-M productions.

Imagine being Nintendo or Larian and thinking man you've got that GotY locked up easy, and then MDickie just slides in out of nowhere, totally unannounced, and drops an absolute masterpiece.

I think he's like the American Kairosoft: A company who've done a fair share of varied videogames that in a way, share an aesthetic and an engine that does Something really well, but because of how they look and handle, as stream material you have to actually tell people to go check them out.

Still, both Vinesauce Vinny and Critikal checked the game out, so I'd say its getting a reasonable amount of time in the sun.

FWIW this channel loving rules because the majority of it is dives into the careers of various game composers, or the sound hardware of specific platforms, and mixes based on the latter, with occasional videos like this one out of the creator's head that go some fascinating places. See also:
