Greetings, patrons! Hot off the presses for once in my life, this video comes out for you guys the day the game releases because I got access to it like a month ago. Thanks, Zane! If you ever wanted the YouTube equivalent of Attention Deficit Disorder, have I got a video for you! We've got X-Slaying, we've got existential freakouts, we've got a rundown on the career of Jonny Lee Miller, references to Uncle Frank, and so much more! This video was a blast to make. Fun from start to finish. I can't explain exactly why. Maybe something to do with reflecting on the energy of this game and how I lived through the exact time, place, and culture it exists in. And because it goes weird places. Weird. Places.Boltgun video soon, probably sooner than you expect, since I've been editing it at the same time I was working on this. Please leave a comment telling me about Boltgun, I haven't heard about it yet, I'm really excited to hear about Boltgun, can't get enough of hearing about Boltgun. glhf,

Zane's mom is a ho,

Civvie this is amazing timing. I am currently stuck waiting at jury duty and in desperate need of distracting

FunkEngine

I don't even know what I'm looking at, but it sounds epic...

Booker

No clue what this is and I'm excited!

Mike Meaden

PRO BOLTGUN WHEN CIVVIE (I jest, I didn't get blown away by Boltgun as much as I'd hoped)

Mutel Eight

I read the title and thought this was a video about this Aerosmith themed rail shooter I remember playing in an arcade when I was like, 9. Turns out that was called Revolution X and is totally different.

pirateFinn

Zane's mom has got it going on

Creamygoodness

This was supposed to be a post about Boltgun. I agree with the guy that said "Boltgun".

Valora Inverse

This gives me such flashbacks to being like 12 years old and playing shit off PC Gamer demo discs I had no business playing late at night.

Mario_bland

The only thing that would've made this even more edgy early 2000s is if Civvie rocked a red yankee colander for the video (though that would probably get mistaken for something else.)

Yarden

Yay! I am super excited for this!

November Delta

Mmm, yes. Keep that good stuff coming

Joseph Vazquez

holy hell forgot all about that game. Blast from the past, I remember playing this a bunch on PSX... ahh midway...

Joseph Vazquez

I remember playing the first Alone in the Dark, OLD school one that predates Resident evil and its tank controls back on those random Discs. Good times.

Space Tiger Steven

Thank you Civvie! Sorry about the money!! New card info has been updated!! DX

Bryan David

LOL I died laughing at the walmart edited version of significant other. Damn Civvie.. you know how to make a dude feel old.

Dickossboss DB89

Don’t know why but I get mad redneck rampage feels from this game

Merjia

Early review access?? You’re like a real YouTube reviewer now!

Justin Force

As someone who is turning 33 in August I agree with you so much about everything in this video lol

Mechazaurus

Man, I'd love to watch you're video on it right now, but I've got to play through the game myself first. I've been looking forward to this one for a long time!

Mkynj9

The fact that Zane's character model appears to be wearing JNCOs tells me pretty much everything I need to know about this game, life, the universe, and everything.

Ilkka Karppinen

Legend has it that there actually are people who _didn’t_ block the window with the cabinet, or push the chest onto the trap door in the attic. Fuck those people.

Ilkka Karppinen

Daymn this gave me Normality vibes. 😃 And although I’m exactly 40, I’m happy(…?) to report that I could still vibe along with the feels - the fear & loathing of self at the tail end of adolescence. Fart and poop jokes: check. More than a loving fistful of Beavis & Butthead: check.

Silentphil9

Weird. I was thinking about that arcade just recently for no reason.

Maktaka

Dumb joke idea: people say they want footage of the retro 40K FPS, so talk about that retro 40K FPS. No, not Boltgun. Or Necromunda. Or Darktide. Or Deathwing. I mean Space Hulk from 1993.

Planescaped

I'm betting the love interest's name is spelt Steffanie because the person who made/wrote this didn't know how to spell Stephanie. when he was in highschool..

rwman

This game is a certified fever dream. I have to take breaks every couple levels, because it’s genuine jank-emulation overload. I don’t know if I love it, but there’s things to love in it.

RC

I kind of agree. I feel like there's a lot of interest in the storytelling potential, what with the meta narrative of Zane's character, etc. But I feel, as a shooter, it doesn't really pick up until the last few levels and in general, it feels hard to criticise. Since it'll forever have that "it's supposed to be jank" on its side. I dunno.

Joseph Milsome

Civvie, this is legit one of the best videos you've ever made. The jokes, the editing, the stream of consciousness references... flawless. You should play Boltgun next, I think you'll like it.

TurboShark

Thought I was seeing things but I'm not. End of first scene with Mevin shows a flash of the Fun Zone's sign in Italian for like 3/4th of a second, then reverts to English. It's weird.

rwman

Having finished it - bonus levels included - and explored the in-universe Zane Twitter account a bit, I’ve concluded you just have to take it as the high-level-shitpost-with-serviceable-gameplay that it is. Trying to judge it on its own merits is virtually an exercise in futility.

Argon Productions

Hey Civvie. Catching up on this. This is a love letter by you, which is cool. I'll add it to my summer list. Cruelty Squad II.

Mike Price

Well roger me backwards, there's a game I'd not thought about in a long old time. Though I do occasionally still catch myself whistling the tune from the opening cutscene, apparently subconsciously.
