CHRISTMAS RUINS CIVVIE
🕑 Added 2023-12-20 19:28:03 +0000 UTCGather around, kids! This holiday season we're going to warm ourselves around a fire of burning trash!
Can I possibly convey the excitement I felt to do a truly terrible game again? It's been so long since I've been able to, as I've been exploring the good, perusing the so-so, mired in the mid. I never wanted to move away from trash entirely. Trash is a "sometimes food," one you can't have all the time on a YouTube channel,
Start to finish, from when I found this game lying abandoned in a retro junk store (it wasn't actually in Trenton, though one usually finds trash there too) to when the credits rolled on it, I had a stupid grin on my face, full of joy as I knew I'd be able to share this often overlooked FPS game with the masses. Terrawars: NY Invasion is the kind of thing you don't pick up from the bargain bin because it looks just a little too shitty.
I started work on this video towards the end of November knowing I'd have to take a little time for Sigil II, and was able to focus on some things I normally wouldn't like my new favorite use of Beetlejuice or a couple of those 5-second gags that take hours to make but when they're done I can say "yeah, that's really stupid, I love it!"
There are things in this game that you might not be ready for. Things you'll never expect. Things I never expected even after my years of appreciating trashy video games. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Festivus, Hanukkah, Boxing Day, Kwanzaa, whoever you are and wherever you might be, enjoy yourself.
See you in 2024,
-Civvie

If you'd like to have a different name in the credits than what you pledged with, leave me a comment, or DM me on here or Twitter or discord or whatever. If your name is wrong, not included, or anything else, shoot me a message calling me an asshole and telling me to fix it.
Or if you want one of those fancy colored names that everyone gets now if they want. The credits in the video are usually a couple of days behind the actual patron list so if you don't see your name, it will be in the next upload.

I got that for Christmas! Generation X or something? I got it for SNES. Kinda reminded me of the SNES Terminator 2 Arcade game.

I wish you luck with your health, Torcularis!

As someone with a lot of serious, persistent problems, your videos are one of the few things that give me peace anymore. After 25 years of constant failed treatments, the power some random guy online with a penchant for shitposting has to humble scores of "medical professionals" is remarkable. I hope you know how thankful I am for you, Civvie.

Sgt. Frank Yeager? I didn't realize we were getting a Gray Fox origin story today.

Oh boy, that was some ’Timmy’s first game’ -level jank… voiced by what I can only guess was a pair of janitors whose payment for the gig was exactly one-and-a-half burrito. Happy Holidays man, and remember to regen your sanity points after this one. 👍
Mateusz Bartoszek
I really needed that today, thanks Civvie, Merry Christmas

Entomologist here, eat the scorpions Civvie. You'll probably be fine.

The good parts of the holiday season don't truly hit until the Civvie video arrives. Thanks for this.
Civvie
I haven’t played much of that game but “quirky” is definitely the way I’d describe it.
Zerofuchs
Happy end of year lol. Any thoughts on looking at a really... quirky... "immersive sim" called Brigand: Oaxaca? Suppose it's one of those games on the eternally growing toilet filling list of random backer suggestions, but it's cheap and it's got the kinda story I think you'd dig.
Shawn Grant
Wow, thanks Civvie, I thoroughly enjoyed this! I hope you are having a wonderful holiday season.

Admittedly, sometimes i tend to forget that you cover trash games, but im grateful for the videos on them nonetheless, they are always a blast!

That's a fair critique, I figured you'd have a nuanced take on it having properly lived through the era over me trying to fight my nostalgia over it. It really being pushed as the Xbox's killer app would've done nothing but assist that popularisation, I suppose. I'm always a fan of the multiplayer and co-op, particularly nowadays with the best of the series being on PC and getting M&K playability. Cheers for the reply, top tier content as always, stay away from the damn cockroach races!
Civvie
It’s sort of like how I hate that developers took the wrong lessons from Half-Life. Halo became the standard style of FPS for a long time and I was never a fan of the two weapon limit and restrictive design it popularized.
J45ON96
Happy Janktivus, one and all! Apologies if this gets asked a lot, but is there reasoning for the dislike you have for Halo? I grew up with the series, so it piques my curiosity!

An entire division being diverted to secure privately owned, fungible assets while a heavily populated area is under fire from an overwhelming force? As a member of the US military myself … yeah I could see it
scubaghost
say what you will but that's a damn fine skybox to build an entire game around

Glad word is spreading

I remember when I went to Rutgers people would get on a train from New Brunswick to Newark. Some of them never came back and the ones who did came back... Wrong
