Yeah but honestly for a 3DO that's kind of impressive.

Also sorry we weren't miserable for this episode ya'll, but we managed to pick some intense garbage for the other intermissions so don't sweat it.

I'd also like to take the moment of intermission to let you guys know that these are the matching shirts Oatmeal and I own and were wearing for the entire duration of this LP:



That is how deep our Hassy branded bond goes.

I think it won some sort of contest to be sold here. They even come in customizable colors! I guess the shirt was popular because they seem to have some other Blue Stinger shirts

The subtitles only appeared when the girl was talking, and only when she commented on Eliot.

The other time that same white text appears on the screen is when the game is describing what's going on.

Which can only mean one thing: She is the narrator. This is a story told by a seven-year-old girl in a world of her own making. Maybe we should be less harsh on it.
Blue Stinger pulling a St. Elsewhere on us would explain a lot of things, really.

Also: Eliot -can- fight and swim at the same time. The Handgun functions underwater.
Normally this sort of revelation would really make me angry, but the handgun is such a piece of garbage I can't really get worked up that I didn't know I could use it in water.

The 3DO as a whole could have done with more jorts, to be totally honest.

The Horde actually came out on PC as well, I remember playing the demo of it back in the day when I was a teenager.

The pre-rendered sprites were actually pretty drat impressive back in the day, might even have been pre-donkey kong country.

For 94 the Horde is pretty impressive. That was 20 years ago! I would actually gladly watch an LP of that game. It seemed a bit easy to generate money, but maybe that changes later on.

As for Tower Defense. It's certainly one of the early proto-TD games. There were earlier games that had similar ideas though.

A game like The Horde that was like a little more involved Sim City then something like sort of like Fable for the combat would be rad as hell.

Holy poo poo, is that seriously the same Toys for Bob who made Skylanders? Never thought they came from FMV games to this.

EDIT: Also, I'm kind of wondering if this was pre or post Growing Pains Kirk Cameron. He seems like the same either way.

I feel like there's a certain kinship between games like this and games like DTR. Like, every console has these swaths of games that really don't have any sort of memorable features, and in the 3D era those games all seem to be "white guy with a gun" games

It's shocking how often the 3DO version of any given game is better than the Saturn version. The 3DO isn't strictly an awful console, it just never stood a chance because it cost seven hundred 1993 dollars and as much as the industry wanted you to think FMV games were the next hot thing, the market never actually cared for them too much. It's certainly no Virtual Boy or CDi. (speaking of, next time that retro games convention is in town I'm totally buying a CDi and making Panzer do some videos with me)


Hey everyone, it's time for another contest!!
CONTEST NUMBER 2: The Deadpool

It's no secret by this point that game over in Blue Stinger hits hard and fast. Panzer and I died a lot in this awful game. The question is, how many times exactly did we die? Well, how about you tell us! Guess how many times this game killed us and you could win a fabulous prize! We'll accept submissions for this contest until December 20th at 11:59PM Pacific time.


CONTEST RULES
  • One submission per person.
  • It's easy, just guess how many times we died! Ties will be broken by correctly guessing what causes our final game over (regular monster, boss, timer, environmental hazard, and such). To start everyone off on the same footing, we've died 6 times as of December 11th.
  • Winner will be determined Christmas day. The first person to correctly guess how many times we die and what caused the final death wins.

FABULOUS PRIZE!
  • The lucky winner will receive a forums upgrade of his or her choice.

I refuse to actually watch how many times you've died already so I can make a meaningful, educated guess. Instead: 42.

Blue Stinger is the true meaning of life.

I'm guessing your final life lost will be to the final boss, because there is no way the final boss of this game isn't going to be bullshit in some way.

I will go with 17 and there is no way you could have survived the final boss.

I suspect that you die at the last possible opportunity, at an escape sequence after the final boss. Right before the finish.

20 deaths and the last one will be to a hazard, such as that bullshit flame wall. Also, I love how Eliot tells Dogs not to give up so easily, and then devises a brilliant plan to cross the gorge by blowing up a thing, and riding the explosion across the canyon, like that's a normal, or even probable solution to the "can't cross a gorge" problem. Come on, Dogs. Why didn't you even try that before surrendering?

Koishi Komeiji

21 deaths and environmental hazard as the cause of death. I can totally see this ending with you drowning or catching on fire after you killed the final boss and escaped the inevitable self destruct sequence these games always end with.
