ROUNDUP 5: THE REKINDLING
🕑 Added 2024-04-16 17:45:06 +0000 UTCFor months I have been looking through the detritus that comes down the Boom Shoot Toob™ and attempting to filter out worthwhile shooting games. I ignored Realms Deep and Next Fest (mostly) and now, in the midst of Steam's much less stacked FPS Fest, I bring you some recommendations and one shitpost game.
This particular roundup was originally going to happen in March. The problem was that the rapidly expanding script I'd written was mostly about 3D Realms circling the drain and it would have ruined the roundup like dropping a dead fish into a pot of chili. The delay also allowed me to toss in a couple more demos that were recently updated, like KVLT, and to have something truly maddening cap off the episode.
Maddening in the best way.
The next episode will likely be about Rebellion's second janky, semi-classic Aliens vs. Predator game. And you're thinking "does he mean the 2010 game?" Nope! Rebellion shouldn't have made three fucking games called Alien vs. Predator, Aliens vs. Predator, and then Aliens vs. Predator again. I have yet to even make sense of how AvP on the Jaguar works and usually just get very lost in vents. I might touch on that game but I find AvP '99 more interesting. Or, as Steam calls it "Aliens vs Predator Classic 2000," and attempts to gaslight me by introducing bugs into the game that didn't exist in the Gold Edition I'm used to. And before any of you ask - yes, Director's Cut, bonus levels and all.

Idea: Next time there are counters overlapping, have them Z-fight with the appropriate sound effects.

You should've told the robot you knifed "hope you cloud saved."

will cancer kitten be friends with cancer mouse?

I hope Gianni becomes as ubiquitous as Kira Buckland, he deserves it. Just as he deserves getting Civvie's blank checks from Oshray.

Not gonna lie, I was hoping that Phantom Fury would turn out okay (it releases next week) but after seeing gameplay (and humour) from Bears in Space and Brutal John, I kinda forgot about it already. Thank you for the Roundup, Civvie!
DJ Jester
At this point the Round Up should just be renamed "The Gianni Game List"
Mario_bland
Am I weird that I played the bears in space demo and didn't find it funny. But even jus watching the last two demos for Brutal John and Devilated made my crack up? I think I just like humor where I can't tell if they're just 110% committed to the bit or are they actually believing themselves.
Mark Haiko
This video earned you a raise.

I hope we get AvP 2010 as well. IMO it's pretty great.
LaserfaceJones
Man I hope we get to AvP2 at some point. It was the best time I ever had with any online FPS bullshit. Might not hold up, and the single player probably looks like shit now, but I traded in Harvest Moon 64 at my GameStop for it and never regretted it.
Mateusz Bartoszek
Hell yeah!

Another banger! The hits keep coming! And freaking kudos for drumming up support for Ross Scott's initiative. I've been watching that coalesce for the past few years as he mused on it after I discovered Freeman's Mind.

There is a good thread with step by step guide on steam community(not sure if i wouldnt be flagged by patreon for sharing a link). From what i see its what i did to launch it properly without stretches. p.s. sorry for megaposting
Paskudne
I wouldn't be surprised if second monitor creates issues. Altho custom launcher allows for windowed mode and it would probably work with second monitor in
Paskudne
It wasnt easy but it can run on w10 and even with ultrawide support. There is quite a few community fixes like custom launcher and other stuff. Main thing - 60fps lock. Sadly it didnt worked with rtx remix, this game have great potential in this area.
Civvie
I think my current issue is that I need to disconnect my second monitor. Maybe?
Civvie
I don’t know, I’ll let you know if and when I get it running properly on win10
Paskudne
YAAAAAAAY AvP! Does it mean we`ll see AvP 2 from monolith in not so distant future?
Midnight Fox
Damn it Civvie! Do you want half my steam account to be your recommendations?! Because this is how you get that to happen!
YukoValis
Dear Deer God, how many games are using Gianni's voice nowadays? He is like the Wendee Lee of this century. Only instead of low budget anime it is video games.
Civvie
HE CAN'T BE STOPPED.
Kolimbo
Civvie is just here to shill for his friend Gianni
Jonathan Doyle
Thanks Civvie
Civvie
I would not fuck with any of the Appalachian horrors.
JOE MOTHERFUCKING TREEFELNER
Fuck yes
JD Scarbrough
Devilated is what happens when you set a horror shooter game starring a good ol’ boy in Appalachia. Our eldritch horrors are just built different.
Valora Inverse
Well, that's a few new wishlist items. Brutal John looks EXTREMELY cathartic.
Silentphil9
Shit! I knew I'd seen it before.
Surprise Pie
it's an Ettin from Hexen, it teleported in at the end of the Hexen episode and has been kept in lockup ever since
Silentphil9
Anyone know what CV-10 is? Fallout 1 or 2 mutant? It would be topical. Show's great by the way.
Civvie
Try the demos first since most of these games aren't even out yet lol
Burd Up
I have been waiting for an AvP 99 video for however long my patereon has been active. This video is also good I'm sure, just not for my ever empty wallet
a19fox
oh boy time to go broke while fps fest is happening thank civvie
0815haro
Fuck! Today? You serious?! And where the fuck should I find the time now?!! Fuck! 😂😂😂 Aaargh! Okay, at least something to look foreward to...
Steve Downes
Civvie is the best to come to for new (Or old) FPS games you should play
jugularSignal
Sweet, thanks for posting during my lunch break
