So all I need to do now is Let's Play one of the Virtual Battlespace engine products,

Take Operation Flashpoint and that mission where you're supposed to sneak alone past squads of all-seeing AI. Or OF: Resistance where the first mission is to wait for a regular bus and take it straight to Resistance HQ. Or just any mission since they all seem to have at least a 50% chance of a vital script breaking.

I believe it was Resistance that had a scripted cutscene which got stuck at the highest graphical settings. The optional detailed terrain feature added random bumps to the map, and one of them blocked the line of sight for a sniper who was supposed to take a shot and kill a dude to trigger the rest of the cutscene.

Oh hey, the game throws some "variety" at us at last. Too bad it all pretty much sucks.

Episode 3: Handi-Capable

The Search for Spock.

For how bad everything else in the game is, the animation of the main character is pretty fluid. I wonder which game they traced her movements from?

The vertical jump looks pretty bad regardless of its origin.

Pound of Ground looks kinda like Armed & Dangerous but worse in every single way.

Cutscenes or gameplay? Because there's quite a difference there.

Gameplay. A&D is barely mediocre in the walking sections once the novelty of the Land Shark Gun wears off.

Banzai Pecan still seems slightly better than that The Tick game. The pits killing you are an extra nice touch.

*rap video finishes*
*hero takes out his sword*

Yeah, that was... uh... a thing. The bosses were kinda like the skater mooks in Maken Shao.

How about a game where the A.I. is constantly bumping into poo poo including each other? Even better, how about a game where each and every race requires you to drive a lovely rear end tractor over a LOOOOOOOooog stretch of road with no differences in terrain other than the occasional left and right turn?

NASCAR?

Has anyone got Lada Racing Club?

Do NOT miss this Star Trek update. Even if you've been ignoring the LP up until now. This is absolutely required viewing for this thread.

Episode 7: Fock

Up next...

Drunk whomever's constant laughing exasperated my headache.

I think that's what made YT queue up cat mating.

Sometimes, you encounter a game that leaves you wondering whether the people who made it even bothered to play it before foisting it on the world and trying to see how much money they could rake in before word got around that it was a pile of unplayable bytes.

This is Pandora: Purge of Pride, a decent tech demo with the words "tech demo" scratched out in red crayon and "game" written next to it in white to disguise the fact that they forgot to finish making the demo. The following picture is pretty much the best part of the entire game:

The Kerbal Space Program music really sets the mood.

I've never played it - are you talking about the music in the actual game or the tune I used for the subtitle frames (which is from Undertale)?

A couple of tracks also used in KSP played in the first and at the beginning of the second video in-game. One was from assembling your rocket and one from orbital view.
