He's made a junior high/high school game that, true to form, is essentially just a reskin of Hard Time (which is itself a reskin of Wrestling Revolution).

Wow

Like

Wow

That sounds like a big must play

Is the wrestling mask still available for faces like in that Hard Time let's play video?
Everything. Everything is there. The wrestling ring from Wrestling Revolution, the courtroom from Hard Time (*ahem*, the "Principal's Office"), the prison jumpsuits, random bundles of dynamite, unisex free-for-all-brawl toilets, it's all there.

MDickie games never remove content, they merely add a new layer of paint on top of the previous abomination.


EDIT: HE MADE A FUCKING SUPERHERO GAME ON THE SAME ENGINE

Apparently the "rolling sarcophagus" incident hasn't ever been mentioned on Bay12?

https://www.huffingtonpost.com.au/entry/gm-powerpoint_n_5340385?ri18n=true

General Motors was facing penalties for safety problems which may have killed several hundred people, and they put out a memo to staff of phrases to avoid, which the government prosecutors then leaked as part of the evidence against GM. Apparently it's not ok to refer to GM cars as the Widow Maker or the Rolling Sarcophagus among many other things, or to talk about impaling, disembowling or decapitation. The best bit is that someone must have actually called the cars a Rolling Sarcophagus so they had to add that to the list.

The whole list is awesome actually. You could use it to design flavor text for critical hits in a grimdark RPG. Here's the full list of banned words at General Motors:

I am reminded of the license that Crockford use[ds] on seemingly all of his Javascript stuff - "this must be used for good and not evil" - and the fact that IBM asked for an exemption.

The result of that was "I give permission for IBM to use JSLint for evil."

What's JSLint? Why is IBM allowed to use a thing for evil?

Lint is found in your belly button
JSLint is Javascript found in your belly button
Why does IBM use it for evil? BECAUSE IBM WORKED WITH THE NAZIS

I'm playing through Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth, and I get to the part where:

Spoiler: some spoilers (click to show/hide)

...That was a pretty awkward scene to come up without warning while I'm riding home with my mom and sister. Of course, they didn't notice, since they were too busy talking about how victimized they are by the existence of transgender people.

Ah, lovely... It's amazing just how dangerous and threatening some people can be by just existing.
