Remember those Burger King Xbox 360 games? Those. And just because they were memes, cheap, but then we started getting into them! We were playing I think it was Sneak King (I just now realized it’s called that 'cause “sneaking” 🤦🏼♀️) and we were 3 hours into it, it was 1am or something, my friend had work later and had to drive home, but we were determined… Almost want to buy them again.
Yep! I have Big Bumpin’ in my collection, got it for free after I was specifically requesting a retro game shop owner if he had any of the three Burger King games in stock. He was actually surprised that someone was actually looking for these games, and he opened a drawer, and handed me a copy of Big Bumpin’. Dude threw it in as a bonus game and only made us pay for Watch Dogs: Legion. He was the nicest and coolest retro shop owner I have ever met. A few months before he gave me that for free, he gave my sister some free PlayStation headphones and stated that he wasn’t sure if they were working or not. And guess what? It worked. Flawlessly.
Dude is still around, still kicking ass at that retro game store even to this day.
I envy this, our retro shop closed.
Dang dude that sucks. =(
I got all 3 games for $10 when BK was trying to dump them. Pocket bike Racer is surprisingly fun.
I have gifted Sex With Hitler 2 on many occasions. The ‘2’ is the funniest part to me.
The full name is hilarious to begin with, but the “2” really sells the punchline
It’s established at that point, what can you do?
Is it as good as the first one?
I truly have no idea, but likely.
Will I be totally lost if I haven’t played Sex With Hitler 1 first?
I really don’t know, never played, but I assume it’d be just fine
My friend made Shower With Your Dad Simulator 2015. He explained it to me and I was like, “who tf showered with their dad growing up!?” Surprisingly the friend group was split in half on that one and it was common.
Anyway, I told him I’d grab it just have it appear in my library, but it’s half fun. I remember unlocking the Inglorious Bathdads mode, thinking he was genius.
Only $1!? Okay, yeah, I am definitely picking this up later on. I love weird and wacky games and your friend made something very, very special to the point it was played by big YouTubers such as PewDiePie. Tell your friend I said hi, too! :D
Yeah that blew his mind. Then he got invited to game dev conferences and said along the lines of, “It felt weird being there and introducing myself to actual game developers.”
He should be proud of himself. =)
Haha i played that game so much. It was my go-to for when we waited for games to be downloaded or something.
I wasn’t going to comment because I don’t buy bad games on purpose but then you reminded me that I gifted that specific game to a friend as a joke.
Hentai vs Furries on Steam. Exquisite game with deep lore and a narrative rich with turns and twists at every corner. 11/10 powers of friendships
Well, that’s a heck of a title… 😳
I made Diarrhea 4 as a joke. Does that count?
I bought and played many a bad game but never as a joke.
Maybe not quite the answer to the question you asked, but I have a relevant story.
My very favorite YouTuber is named “Any Austin”. (Just stay with me here.) And he has a show called “VG Wham” in which he goes to some e-store for video games (the Switch eStore, the PlayStation e-store, Steam, whatever) and purchases a game priced $2 or under and plays/reviews it.
Fully expecting it to be terrible, mind you. He does honestly review the games and gives his thoughts about them, but it’s still mostly comedy content. Not generally the sort of show you’d watch to find good games to potentially buy and enjoy.
But one game in particular he clearly loved was “Radiation Island” by a studio called “Atypical Games.” The episode of VG Wham in question is here. But he loved this particular game so much he streamed a full playthrough that itself is a masterpiece. And throughout he constantly flip flops from deriding it ot praising it to praising it ironically. It’s like nothing else I’ve ever seen.
And the game itself makes zero sense, it’s absolute purchased assets trash, kindof minimum viable product as a game, really just churned out in about 5 minutes for a buck. And it’s evident from Any Austin’s stream.
I rewatched that stream just recently and decided to go ahead and purchase the game. I’d seen it played, but didn’t really know what it would be like to play it myself. I really didn’t know whether it was going to be crap or awesome.
If anyone else picks it up, I highly recommend the hardest difficulty.
I haven’t yet played the sequel “Radiation City.” Any Austin streamed it, but didn’t like it as much. I bought a copy and intend to play it at some point, but I haven’t started it yet.
Didn’t buy it perse but Chex Quest.
Oh my God I actually played that!!! A weird kid-friendly version of DOOM that actually was pretty damn solid and had an actual interesting story for a kids game. It wasn’t like Pepsiman, where the entire game was littered with Pepsi advertisements, it was an advergame that had an actual story about aliens threatening Chex and Earth. Thank you for reminding me of this. =)
And don’t forget Cool Spot, the 7UP game for SNES!
Fps chess - not bad really, the mechanics are but thats part of the charm
Muck - made for a game jam, fun with friends
Retail royale - ikea themed battle royale, no more than 12 players online typically
The looker - satire game based on the watcher
Leaf blower revolution - cookie clicker style idle game with more engaging mechanics. Not bad really but a time waster fs
Unturned - just a classic but still silly
Lunch lady - group survival horror game, played it once, not great
Pearphone.io - fps game where you play as a pear shaped phone with a pear logo, no comment
Peasant royale - self explanatory I think
Rust
Pearphone.io - fps game where you play as a pear shaped phone with a pear logo, no comment
I was wondering if that was based off of the fictional phone in iCarly, and I was correct. Also, it is allegedly malware/a Bitcoin miner according to some Steam reviews, but this is unverifiable.
Honestly I wouldn’t be shocked about it being malware lmao. I dont think I have ever ran it tho tbh
The Looker is based on The Witness not the Watcher, and its fucking hilarious
My bad lol I never played the game it was making fun of but it WAS funny
Maybe not the same thing as FPS chess, but a great chess rougelike with guns is https://store.steampowered.com/app/1972440/Shotgun_King_The_Final_Checkmate/
This is amazing and now on my wishlist
Goat simulator. Which as we now know is pretty fun.
I vibe with you. I frickin’ LOVE Goat Simulator! Just a hell of a fun game where you can cause as much chaos as you please as a goat. I have played the original and every one of its DLC packs, and I pre-ordered Goat Simulator 3 as well, and I am gonna be picking up the Multiverse of Nonsense DLC at a later point. An all-time favorite game series of mine.
Currently waiting for the Re-Maa-ster of Goat Simulator 2… (ba dum tsss) 😂😂😂
This guy goats.
Now, this one may surprise you, but I recently bought Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League as a joke. And no, I did not pay $70 for the game. In fact, I bought it for a far more cheaper price on CDKeys since they were having a huge sale for North American/European game keys. Was on sale for roughly $16, a huge steal in my eyes. Like bro, $70 USD for this game? Yeah, no, I’m not paying that much if this game is in this state. Capped it only because I wanted to get it to laugh at it. I originally was planning to get it through the free Prime Gaming offer, but through past complications with Amazon charging us even after repeatedly cancelling our Prime subscription, I went against getting a free trial for Amazon Prime and we just ended up buying a digital Steam key.
I have been loving the game, in a very ironic way. I’m serious. I only bought the game to see how bad it truly was and to laugh at the game’s bad design choices (mostly the lackluster story). I just wanted the game for shits and giggles, nothing serious. I only like the game because of how goddamn bad it is. Literally wanted to laugh out loud while I was playing through the first 2 hours. It’s so bad, but hilariously bad. The story doesn’t make sence, either - why was the Suicide Squad recruited by a literal FBI agent? I get that it’s about the Justice League becoming evil and all, but it still doesn’t make any sense to me.
Needless to say, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is a guilty pleasure of mine. Because I like laughing at it.
EXTRA NOTE: In short, save your money until there’s a huge sale or another free offer. God save Rocksteady.
I am so sad this was Kevin Conroy’s final time voicing Batman. The man deserved to go out on a high note.
Yeah, I agree. It is extremely disappointing to know that this was Kevin Conroy’s farewell. His swan song. The man deserved to have a much better end to his career. Heck, even Orson Welles had a much better one when Netflix dropped his unreleased movie “The Other Side of the Wind”. Kevin Conroy deserved to go out with a bang. Not a mere whimper.
The game’s concept was good but the execution of it was terrible in so many departments.
It’s another one of those “great concept with bad execution” examples.
Also, of COURSE I got Garfield Kart: Furious Racing. My Steam library truly didn’t feel complete until I got gifted the game.
I only wanted the game as a joke, not for any serious reasons. But dang, it’s actually a fun time-waster.
I’ve bought that game quite some time ago as a meme
The devs behind it appearently started hosting contests for it so joined them for the heck of it.
I bought BioFreaks for PS1 because it looked fun. I knew it would be janky and have weird physics, but it’s also got a weird dystopian story too!
To be fair, I was 8 or 9 at the time, but it’s an entertaining piece of shit, like Pitball (also for PS1).
Goose simulator.
My kids’ favorite game after pikuniku and before Bugsnax.
I got a game where you play as a piece of bread. I think it was called Toast?
Yeah, that didn’t last too long as an installed game.
I got a game where you play as a piece of bread. I think it was called Toast?
Wait, was it "I Am Bread"?
That’s it!
Yep, figured that was the one lol. 😂
Bossa really loved making rage games. In fact, they made a sequel called “I Am Fish”, where you control a fish in a fishbowl. I played that for 10 minutes and couldn’t handle it anymore. The controls were a nightmare… far too clunky.
Oh my God, yes, the controls drove me mad.
I would play that stupid ass concept game more if it wasn’t so fucking broken.
The concept turned into an actual fully-fledged game on Steam. It’s one of the few Bossa Presents titles that actually got greenlit from their whole graveyard of “Protohype” games. That game… no. Never again. The controls literally sent me to the point where I wanted to break my controller. They shut down Worlds Adrift for this garbage streamer-bait.
I will be avoiding that game like the plague from here on out.
Bad rats show is still a personal favourite of mine to gift on steam.
Sharknado VR. Got it on sale for half a dollar. Not bad for the price. It was about what I expected and with a playtime of about 30 minutes it didn’t have the time to get stale.
BTW check out this playlist (and the rest of the channel too)
GO GO GO GO GOGOGO
RUN AWAY FROM THE SHARKNADO
