I don't know how big The House of the Dead arcade game series is on here, but it's literally my favorite game series of all time despite its flaws, and i want to rant about it even if no one sees this. Major spoilers for those who haven't played the games btw.

When they announced the remake of The House of the Dead, I was so excited bc I grew up playing 2 & 3 for the Wii, and still play to this day and never got the chance to play 1, 4, or Scarlet Dawn.

After playing 1, it gave me so much more insight as to how certain reactions work in depth for 2 and especially 3. 3 is very important to have knowledge of 1 about before playing, because it makes the true depth as to what they were trying to accomplish really sink in. For 1, Rogan and G go through Curien's mansion and what not, and go through a lot of grief trying to kill their way to Curien himself. 1's impact on 2 isn't as major as it is for 3, but it's still very important because it shows James and Gary interacting with G, and G mentions the Curien case. If you had no prior knowledge to 1, then you would think this G fellow is just another AMS agent who read up on the file of some giant case that happened nearly 2 years prior instead of someone who was actually there. 1 really sets in stone how important G is to the franchise, and continues that trend for 2 and 3. 1 also reveals how important Rogan is to the overall story with the reveal of him being Lisa's father, along with knowledge of Curien's importance with his history with Rogan, makes the reveal that Daniel is Curien's son so much more important. The final fight with Daniel and Lisa is so important because it has the children of two people who were sworn enemies fighting together against the one who started the franchise. I could probably yap about more stuff relating to this game, such as how in depth G really is and how massive the implications of his character is for the franchise, and for the message that he sends to the gaming world, but I'm too tired for that rn. Thank you and goodnight 😴

Side note: there's at least one big boss and one animal boss in each game, and I think it's funny enough to point out.

Longplay of The House of the Dead III (The House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return)

Fanfiction in the late 2000s-early 2010s was wild bc you'd find a beautifully written story with the most compelling heart-wrenching plot you've ever seen and the author's note would be like:

Author with a username like ~SasukesWaifuxD~ : Ohayo gozaimasu! ↖(^▽^)↗, I'm sowwy it took me so long to update (๑•́_•̀๑)

tsundere twink from their fic : It was about damn time you idiot (눈‸눈)

~SasukesWaifuxD~ : Hey now! It's not my fault the plot bunnies kept wunning away fwom me (╥﹏╥)

tsundere twink: W-watever, it's not like I missed you or anything (💢,,>﹏<,,) b-baka!

A devastating and confusing thing about the Fallout setting, when you explore the pre-war aspects, is what the creators think about pre-war America. In the first games we only get hints of the pre-war world, but they seem to be some sort of wild fascist nation invading Canada. In Fallout 1, the first thing we're introduced to of the pre-war society is seeing a soldier shoot civilians and laughing.

Now, for the first 2 games and New Vegas we don't really know much. What we know is that there's a fascist military group known as the enclave who were a sort of US deep state even before the war, and that the government teamed up with corporate interests to preform vaguely MKULTRA-ish experiments with the Vaults. Basically, the government was an extreme version of the 50s American jingoism and McCarthyism.

This is well and dandy, I guess issues come up more when we get to the later games, especially 4, where it seems like none of this extreme plotting and societal civil unrest which would exist is seen. The society as presented in 4 also seems quite progressive, gay people are featured in the opening, and none of the baggage of say, civil rights not existing are included. Now on a baseline, I don't want settings to be more conservative, homophobic and sexist etc., but it becomes a very confusing setting when it's displayed both as this jingoist extreme thing with fascist tendencies aswell as a progressive place where everyone is seemingly equal. If you're focusing on the 50s as your setting, and American nationalism in the 50s, then you can't have McCarthyism spoofs and anti-communism as a societal paranoia norm while also general equality is the norm without misunderstanding why McCarthyism and nationalist jingoism is bad. A massive harm done in anti-communist paranoia is how it degrades and vilifies any progressive movements (women's rights, civil rights, homosexuality) as being morally un-American and therefore connected to communism. To ignore this just makes any critique of MacCarthyism and jingoism weird!

Basically, pre-war America in Fallout 4 becomes this both sides thing where America is both pure and equal and white fences in every instance that we see as the player (the intro), while also supposedly being this dystopic MacCarthyist hellscape that's broadcasting gladly about their war crimes in Canada, and wants to root out communism. I guess the only fix for this issue without getting into the fine print like they had to do is just not to focus too much on the pre-war world.

Made the video BG art for @ohgeeeznotagain's newest release "All Day"! It's a song about the Hexsquad kicking butt. Yeah that's right 💪

These were tough to tackle but they eventually came together! As always working with Oh Geeez has been an honour and a dream come true. I'm genuinely thankful all of this was possible.

Stream this absolute bop... ALL DAY❗❗ Check out Oh Geeez's profile for the song (and more because this isn't their only banger)!

“I killed wizard’s filth like you all my life, I killed them with guns, and bombs, and knives, and gas, and when I didn’t have any of those I just got in real close and put my thumbs through their fucking eyes. You can flick that little skewer around all you like, boy. I’ll choke you with it.”
