I keep forgetting that there was a time before plot and pacing in FPS games. Levels are less chapters in a story than simply arenas full of enemies, and for a game ostensibly about Rednecks defending their turf from marauding alien sumbitches, we're surprisingly light on aliens. Here's hoping for a plot development sooner or later. Or at least a new gun.

This game is definitely a product of its time.

What started that plot thing, anyway? Half-Life?

Well, I suppose we had to get around in a junkyard eventually.

I'm just surprised we didn't bull out of there in a wrecked car resurrected by Mad Redneck Science.

Huh. I just realized what this game uses as the "end-of-level" marker, like the glyphs you'd touch in Hexen.

Also, you can remember the non-hillbilly American stereotypes with this simple mnemonic: surfing football cowboy boxer. (Actually, there's some hillbilly in there too.)

Man, I figured since every level is part sewer there wouldn't be an actual sewer level. So naive.

Well, that was a neat little bowling interlude at the end. For a while I thought a strike was just going to be flat-out impossible.

Vicious collisions with difficulty walls seem to be the norm for FPSs of this era. Good luck picking yourself up!

I'm a little worried that you haven't actually beaten this game yet, Skippy, but I imagine it'll be fun to see you try.

Shotguns: how do they work?

Seriously if somebody can find that out that'd be aces.
