BRAINS!

Yeah, that game (Toonstruck) is kinda fucked up. I love it.

If you like fucked-up-for-fucked-up's sake, you might like the game "Harvester." I never could decide if it was just horrible or if it was brilliantly horrible, and I sort of respect that.

Dude I've never heard of this! I'm going to have to play it as I did enjoy most of Phantasmagoria 1 and 2. The screenshots on the Steam site give me that vibe.

Too bad we didn't discuss this sooner or else I would have thrown in the original CDs to this game with that package I sent you the other year!

Ooh, FMV adventure. I like those. The worse the acting, the better.

I have a soft spot for FMV adventure games with really bad acting. Some people like to play Cyberpunk 2077. Some people like to play God of War. Me, I like to play motherfuckin' SYNNERGIST:

I don't remember seeing that game before. The old FMV games have a certain appeal to me as well, although I don't seek them out for fear of learning to hate what I like, ha.

If you haven't played it, I'd recommend the semi-recent game >Observer. It doesn't have FMV, but just the same, it made me feel like some FMV game developers had fallen into a coma in the 90s, only to wake and create the weirdness that is that game. Plus, it's one of Rutger Hauer's final roles.

Yeah man, >Observer was one of my favorites. I really do wish they would make a sequel to it. My only complaint was that I wanted a bit more freedom of movement and more people to interrogate. Not much of a complaint at all really.

I played Observer for about an hour or so. I had to stop playing since it gave me nausea and a headache. I watched a playthrough of it on youtube. It's OK.

I had the same reaction to Casual Observer. Ohhhhh shit! OC, you just got PINBACKED ma dude!

ROFL too infected by the Nanophage to enjoy the game.

I finally got this for less than a dollar from Steam and oh man does it deliver lol. It's weird, gross, and funny as hell. I'm a little stuck about 2 hours in but I plan on sticking with it.

"The House of FLAME" lolol

Finished Harvester! Man.. that ending(s). Hahaha.

Definitely would recommend using a walkthru for certain areas as you can end up stuck or whatever with exception to the last disk. Do not even look at it past disk 2 (the last hard puzzle involves a steam room. It took a friend coming over and seeing an object for me to click on before I could continue).

The theme in this game is so hard to grasp. Like it points it feels like Leather Goddesses of Phobos 2 (I can't even remember if I finished that. Don't think so), then it feels like a Twin Peaks movie, then some awfully scripted Troma movie, then all of a sudden BOOM!! MORTAL KOMBAT LEVEL VIOLENCE. This shit is all over the place which is why I really enjoyed it.

I still don't quite understand why a text parser is included when you can click verbs and never have to type a custom line of text..

Well, I'm glad to hear that someone finished it. I don't think I'll ever install it again- not because it offended me so much but because the game design is harsh and it's pretty easy to mess everything up (if I recall correctly), and they did a pretty good job at making it a pretty unpleasant place to poke around in (which is partly the point). Still, I'll always consider it fascinating.
