I just realised Finnish doesn’t have an onomatopoetic frog sound 🤔
This video used to be over half an hour longer before Youtube flagged it for being unsuitable for ads. Majuular had to remove an entire section on Phantasmagoria 2 from the video, but the original can be found in a free Patreon post linked in the pinned comment. Just a heads-up for anyone about to watch this
Gears of War 1 is so dedicated to its drab colour scheme that even blood is mostly black instead of red
Everything in the original Gears of War games, from the COG soldiers to the weapons, vehicles, monsters and creatures looks like chunky action figures. I like how earnestly dumb it all is
Every male video game character should have the dimensions of Delta Squad
Gamers press F for Harris
Or just some person posting a picture of the van on Twitter and enough people noticing
I just hope Konami’s expectations for this game aren’t too unrealistic. Both the Dead Space and Alone in the Dark remakes failed to sell to their publishers’ satisfaction
I also think it’s just that the orcs are just too clearly monstrous and inhuman to be aspirational compared to, for example, Stormtroopers and Imperial Officers who are just white soldier dudes wearing Cool Uniforms and Badass Armour. Even the Uruk-Hai who have the latter are still lumpy cannibal monsters with comedy British accents
Edit: I looked up the “Meat’s back on the menu, boys!” scene from The Two Towers on Youtube. Can you guess what the recent comments reference?

There is The Last Ringbearer but it’s a different sort of thing entirely
It’s interesting you don’t really see much “Sauron/Saruman did nothing wrong” type of ironic shitposting compared to other properties like Star Wars
This feels very PS2-era specific
Your brain gets stronger with each punch to your skull
For some reason I assumed unlicensed merchandise would always be cheap
I shall not stand for this Condemned: Criminal Origins slander. It’s a wonderfully atmospheric and unique horror game, an all-time great
As long as you can stomach the game’s absurd reality where all homeless people are basically feral, homicidal zombies that the FBI agent protagonist has to casually kill by the dozens as he combs through various spooky abandoned buildings for clues
It seems I just naively assumed you wouldn’t be able to produce something like this without SE having a say about it
It was also sold alongside more legitimate looking merch
I guess I was tripped up by the “Collectible Figure” branding and the assumption that something on this scale would require official backing of some sort. Like when I think of unlicensed merch I think of cheap stuff you can find on AliExpress but I suppose they don’t give a flying fuck about IP in China either way
I just checked the link and saw more normal expensive collectibles like an 1/6 scale Anakin Skywalker figure with an incredible likeness of Hayden Christensen and assumed they didn’t sell sex toys
I’m just flabbergasted a company as conscious of their brand and image as SquareEnix would approve a cursed product like this. The same company that currently has gamers in an uproar over slightly covering up female characters in the upcoming Dragon Quest remasters is also okay with turning one of their most iconic female characters into a sex doll homunculus
Bring back ostentatious codpieces for the dudes
