Die Hard But It's a Christmas Movie review

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, obviously most people knows the action film classic Die Hard. There's still a debate among people. Is Die Hard a Christmas movie regardless which side you stay on. A group of people fully decided to go with that as a joke. What if Die Hard was more of a Christmas movie? Parody wise I think they nailed it lol.

Die Hard But It's a Christmas Movie
This is a video project Tony and his friends finished just in time for Christmas recently. They replaced a lot of characters with familiar Christmas ones. All the terrorists you instantly know them. Some lesser known characters, you know em too. Only John & his wife Holly remains. The plot is virtually the same as the movie.

There's plenty of Christmas classics reference through out this parody video. You can tell everyone involved had a lot of fun making this. Partly it's hurt by Violent Night because that's going even further with Die Hard being a Christmas movie. The major difference is John got replaced by Santa Claus. It's also partly hurt by The Mean One in a few ways.

Despite that, I felt they somehow pulled this off. The jokes do land for the most part even the cheesy ones. I loved how every characters was used too. They reference some of the most rememberable scenes from Die Hard. At the same time, the humor notably increased worked to it's favor. Very much like UnMetal, an indie parody game heavily inspired by MSX Metal Gear games.

Honestly, this was done very well despite the video length being shorter than expected. It actually was so good I wish the video lasted a little longer. Well here's a more Christmas Die Hard for the holidays lol. I laughed after I realized the FBI agents were the Miser Brothers. It was pure genius to have the Grinch kill Scrooge off like that.

I'm not hiding it, Hans was replaced by the very best possible Christmas villain imaginable for this. Of course I speak of The Grinch!!! I mean who else would've been the perfect pick here? I loved they went for the Home Alone jokes, the first two movies were a notable part of my child hood. I even laughed the joke of cutting away from the video with Tony explaining what almost happened.

This was a joke that might be seen as cheap. Personally I saw it as a great opportunity, Tony went for it. Not only that, they nailed the spirits of the film very well. Can I be honest here? Despite Die Hard commercial with Bruce Willis before he retired from acting? This was the best thing with Die Hard's name on it I seen in a long time.

Yeah don't watch Live Free or Die Hard or A Good Day to Die Hard, those sucks. You gotta watch this, trust me it's a fun time. You likely are going to laugh even at jokes you won't expect to laugh at. I would even say I subscribed to Tony's YouTube channel because I loved this video that much. Yeah it's so well thought out as well as edited.

I can't even criticize it other than I simply wanted more of it. It was very entertaining for it's run time. Not only that, it was a clever play on that debate too. Well now we could call Die Hard a Christmas movie after all. Regardless, I recommend people who love stuff like this go check it out. It's way better than most recent parody movies for that matter, plus it's free.

The Games of 2022 ranking

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I been doing Games of 2020 as well as Games of 2021 lists respectively. Well I'm back with my biggest but likely going to be my last one. I am going to reveal my Games of 2022 list shortly. You are really going to see what my exact taste in gaming is. Don't expect several big name games though.

Before I reveal the actual list, I wanna quickly go through some honorable mentions. Games for one or more reasons ultimately doesn't make the list.

1. Evil Dead: The Game (Epic)
2. Worms Crazy Golf (GOG)
3. Worms Revolution (GOG)
4. Worms Ultimate Mayhem Deluxe Edition (GOG)
5. Daggerfall Unity - GOG Cut
6. Destroy All Humans! Clone Carnage

Evil Dead: The Game I got for free on Epic. Although I do think it's better than Friday the 13th: The Game. I currently don't have enough time away from games on the actual list as well as family plans to properly judge it. Therefore I have to exclude it from the list for that very reason. Both Worms Revolution & Worms Ultimate Mayhem Deluxe Edition are simply strategy games.

I will confirm I do like Evil Dead for what it is. It's way better than Resident Evil Re:Verse. Yes it also has crossplay. For a game I waited very patiently to play, it just wasn't quite what I expected. I'm not saying it's terrible, I would say it's somewhat disappointing. I still prefer Evil Dead: A Fistful of Boomstick more.

Sadly for them strategy games isn't a genre I regularly play. So I felt attempting to play them justice won't happen in time. Worms Crazy Golf is alright, I kinda like it. Daggerfall Unity - GOG Cut ends up in a similar boat, I'm also not a huge RPG fan. No disrespect towards The Elder Scrolls & Fallout series.

Destroy All Humans! Clone Carnage virtually was treated as a local multiplayer game. Sadly I couldn't figure a way to attempt doing matches by myself. Which means I couldn't even play the game. Unfortunately I can't judge something that I can't even begin. So I hope this explains why all of these aren't on the list.

Also I originally planned on going for Sonic but plans kept changing. I felt the actual list stands out more to greatly make up for that. Basically I don't own Sonic Origins & Sonic Frontiers. Same with the new Saints Row game but the prices were so expansive, I couldn't do it. Not to mention, I got such a huge list so I want to quickly say stuff about games within the list.

20. Resident Evil Re:Verse (Xbox One)

Release Date: October 28, 2022

I bought this through Resident Evil Village last year. As many RE fans already knows this multiplayer game got delayed. Honestly, it isn't much better from the beta I played a while back. There's plenty of Resident Evil games you can play on Xbox consoles.

Despite being the worst of 2022 to me, this actually isn't the worst Capcom game I played this year. More on that later on but the updates I seen off of streams are partly going into the right direction. I still want bigger changes that could make it a way better overall experience.

19. Pac-Man Museum+ (Xbox One)

Release Date: June 27, 2022

Game line up
1. Pac-Man (1980)
2. Super Pac-Man (1982)
3. Pac & Pal (1983)
4. Pac-Land (1984)
5. Pac-Mania (1987)
6. Pac-Attack (1993)
7. Pac-In-Time (1995)
8. Pac-Man Arrangement (1996)
9. Pac-Man Arrangement (2005)
10. Pac-Man Championship Edition (2007)
11. Pac-Motos (2007)
12. Pac 'n Roll Remix (2007)
13. Pac-Man Battle Royale (2011)
14. Pac-Man 256 (2016)

Favorite Pac-Man game is Super Pac-Man

Least Favorite Pac-Man game is Pac-In-Time

I played this through Game Pass a couple of times. It's a sorta mixed bag deal because it does several things better than Pac-Man Museum. At the same time, not so much in other areas making it tricky to decide which is the better Pac-Man compilation to play.

There's no hiding it the worst game compilation of 2022 to me. It's even tricky to do a quick comparison with the previous Pac-Man Museum. Even with what it goes right still falls short to other game compilations on this list.

I will give credit for being able to customize your Arcade. I just felt a lot of stuff you could place are a little too similar to each other. Also some stuff I wish I could place isn't even an option. For example, I wanna place retro style Super Pac-Man in my Pac-Man franchise Arcade.

18. Serious Sam: Tormental (Steam)

Release Date: April 8, 2022

I bought this a few years ago while it was still in beta. Earlier this year, it left beta now it counts as an 2022 release game. I would say it's quite weird for a Serious Sam spin off game. Also the procession doesn't go as you expect it to.

17. The House of the Dead: Remake (Steam)

Release Date: April 28, 2022

A remake of a classic Arcade rail shooter. I do get why this won't be high on a lot of people's lists. Personally I still had a good time playing it. Yes you could cheat the entire achievement/trophy system as well.

I also give credit you can play this with an controller. Although doing it with the usual computer stuff works amazingly work too. Horde Mode needs slight work but otherwise a fun variation of the game.

16. Berserk Mode (Steam)

Beta Release Date: January 9, 2022

Yes this is technically in beta but there's an ending. I would say this was a huge surprise. I took a chance on a genre I don't usually play. Berserk Mode was more fun than I originally expected. I actually wanted to include it because the updates made a huge impact on the game in a good way.

This is inspired by Heretic/Hexen franchise, I got that confirmed by it's creator personally. Sometimes you get so many enemies, you can't do enough to save yourself. Which is very true during the last stage where the difficulty goes through the roof but isn't impossible.

15. Multiversus (Steam)

Release Date: June 19, 2022

It's Free to Play title but you do have paid options. I liked the concept of these classic characters fighting each other. Yes it technically is a clone of Super Smash Brothers series. But I still enjoyed this game more than I expected to.

14. Mortal Kombat Trilogy (GOG)

Rerelease Date: August 15, 2022

Surprise GOG got Mortal Kombat Trilogy rerelease on their service. I loved the PS1 version growing up. There's no question this was going to be among my favorite fighting games I played this year. I also loved I can use my controller, a huge plus playing fighting games on my computer.

Yes, the difficulty is unbalanced especially going against Shao Kahn. This game is packed with nice surprises as well. I officially played three different versions, I would say this is the best version by far.

13. Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory (GOG)

Rerelease Date: October 20, 2022

This also got a surprise rerelease on GOG. They actually went the distance with the servers. So it's as alive as a lot of older multiplayer Valve games like Team Fortress & Counter-Strike on Steam. I would say this is better than Day of Defeat for sure.

12. Postal 4: No Regerts (GOG)

Release Date: April 20, 2022

Although this technically would be the big disappointment of the year, Postal 4 does have good things. Sadly parts of the game isn't quite finished. I will say it's a better sequel than Postal III yeah!!! I do hope some major updates comes to the game in the near future.

Bonus note: the game is way more fun using codes. For the moment that's my recommended way of truly enjoying the game. I will point out you can change which voice actor for The Postal Dude. The newest being Jon St. John who voiced many characters including Duke Nukem.

11. Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium (Steam and Xbox One)

Release Date: June 21, 2022

Game line up
1. 1943 Kai (1987)
2. Block Block (1991)
3. The King of Dragons (1991)
4. Knights of the Round (1991)
5. Magic Sword (1990)

22. SonSon (1984)
23. Street Fighter (1987) It really sucks!!!
24. Street Fighter Alpha (1995)
25. Street Fighter Alpha 2 (1996)
26. Street Fighter Alpha 3 (1998)
27. Super Gem Fighter Mini Mix (1997)
28. Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo (1996)
29. The Speed Rumbler (1986)
30. Three Wonders (1991) 3 game compilation
31. Tiger Road (1987)
32. Capcom Sports Club (1997)

Favorite Capcom game is Three Wonders

Least Favorite Capcom game is Street Fighter

I got to confirm only on Steam currently, I got the entire collection. It is one of those you have the option to buy the games separately or altogether. Personally controls wise Xbox One is notably better. It still isn't perfect but PC wise it can be quite annoying to pull off some actions.

Yes the achievement/trophy hunting is a huge grind. But damn it's such a nice line up of games. I just wish they had a bundle deal with the previous Capcom Arcade Stadium. Obviously that would be a little more expansive than both of them separately but still would've been nice during the holidays.

Street Fighter 1 is actually worst than what you heard. Actually don't go by that, I triple dog dare you to play this!!! It's so unbalanced with terrible controls and bad audio especially voice overs. Let's just say SFII was a massive step into the right direction for the genre.

10. Nightmare of Decay (Steam)

Release Date: May 3, 2022

Here's a cheap horror game that really caught me off guard, I didn't expect it to be so good. It does reference Resident Evil series a lot. Honestly, the bonus content itself is already enough reason to play this.

I would follow a video guide or find a large piece of paper to take notes during your first playthrough. Either would help you out a lot to better your chances at finishing the game. Also the Guardians boss fight is a little unforgiving at times. Keep in mind, Hard Mode adds a fourth guardian into the boss fight.

9. Doom 64 (GOG)

Rerelease Date: June 23, 2022

To clarify, yes this is the more recent port. It is very similar to Steam port even using the same save files. Considering I previously had that on my Games of 2020 list. I don't have much else to say then yeah more Doom!!!

I would say the Lost Levels are decent enough. It may feel somewhat like Quake 1 but more Doom. Cheat Menu for those who love cheating is a nice touch too.

8. Serious Sam: Siberian Mayhem (GOG)

Release Date: January 25, 2022

I was so disappointed with Serious Sam 4. Then I played this stand alone expansion to that on GOG. I gotta be honest wow this is what I'm talking about. This actually felt like the first couple Serious Sam games with some nice surprises.

Despite only being five levels, they're quite lengthy packed with enemies. It will take you a few hours to fully play it. I really wanted more of that, it was that damn good to me. I am not kidding this was the best Serious Sam game I played in years, I still enjoyed Serious Sam 3 a lot though.

7. Doom Enhanced (GOG)

Rerelease Date: August 17, 2022

This is the more recent port, if you have an account you can play more expansions as well as mods. Other than that, I really don't have much else to say for two reasons. For starters, you simply get a lot of bonus content free is already awesome.

6. Doom II Enhanced (GOG)

Rerelease Date: August 17, 2022

The second reason is everything I said for Doom Enhanced applies here too. Personally I always preferred Doom II over the original Doom. To me, it's more of a challenge in comparison. I love using the Super Shotgun at times too.

5. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge (Xbox One)

Release Date: June 16, 2022

Another game I played through Game Pass. I got to be honest this was so damn good!!! TMNT fans desperately wanted a proper return in video games. I would even say this game is easily one of the most addicting, unique beat em up games I ever played.

I will say it is the best TMNT beat em up game ever made. It does have plenty of nice surprises as you play. Like playing as Master Splinter or all these cameos they hid into the game to name a few.

4. Postal: Brain Damaged (Steam)

Release Date: June 9, 2022

This might come as a huge surprise, this spin off Postal game was way better than Postal 4. This felt like a good mixture of Doom & Postal. There isn't much negatives since it truly is a solid FPS game. I would even say one of my favorite spin off video games I ever played.

The jokes do land a lot as you play the game. The stages differ enough to make the game rather refreshing to play. A good enemy variety with a lot to kill during the stages. Trust me the weapons do stand out more than they usually do in Postal series.

3. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection (Xbox One)

Release Date: August 30, 2022

Game line up
1. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Arcade) 1989
2. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time (Arcade) 1991
3. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (NES) 1989
4. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game (NES) 1990
5. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: The Manhattan Project (NES) 1992
6. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters (NES) 1994
7. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time (SNES) 1992
8. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters (SNES) 1993
9. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Hyperstone Heist (Genesis) 1992
10. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters (Genesis) 1993
11. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fall of the Foot Clan (Game Boy) 1990
12. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: Back From The Sewers (Game Boy) 1991
13. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: Radical Rescue (Game Boy) 1993

Favorite TMNT game is TMNT IV: Turtles in Time

Least Favorite TMNT game is TMNT: Tournament Fighters (Genesis)

It's no surprise, this was one of my big I gotta have it 2022 games. A great compilation of 13 TMNT games with some nice surprises too. Honestly, this is a must needed blast of nostalgia. This was impressive to emulate five platforms well enough to get the job done.

This is surprisingly bigger amount of content you normally would expect for a game compilation. Not only that, you get a good variety of TMNT games to spice things up. It's rather mind blowing they pulled all of this off.

2. Capcom Fighting Collection (Steam)

Release Date: June 23, 2022

Game line up
1. Darkstalkers (1994)
2. Night Warriors (1995)
3. Vampire Savior (1997)
4. Vampire Hunter 2 (1997)
5. Vampire Savior 2 (1997)
6. Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo (1996)
7. Super Gem Fighter Mini Mix (1997)
8. Cyberbots (1995)
9. Red Earth (1996)
10. Hyper Street Fighter II: The Anniversary Edition (2003)

Favorite Capcom game is Vampire Savior

Least Favorite Capcom game is Hyper Street Fighter II: The Anniversary Edition

Another I gotta have it 2022 games, Capcom Fighting Collection is so damn good!!! They really went up then beyond with this in every sense of the word. I would also say the best PC Capcom fighting game I ever played period.

Every game having online despite not crossplay is still a nice touch. Gallery itself is amazing stuff to see or listen to. I highly recommend checking this out especially you love fighting games.

1. Cultic (Steam)

Release Date: October 13, 2022

Now here's a game that really caught me off guard in a great way. A friend mentioned this game to me, I had to give this a try. Honestly, this is one of my absolute favorite FPS games I ever played. Keep in mind, this only has Episode 1 so far but I really want more.

I also gotta mention the soundtrack is very decent. The levels are surprisingly well designed. This felt like the perfect blast of nostalgia for that style FPS game.

Connections The Postal Dude and Conker the Squirrel

Warning the following blog post isn't meant for anyone under the age of 18. I recommend you don't read this comparison blog as it may content sexual to rather unpleasant context. Also this will be a lengthy blog post if you chose to stay reading all of this. You are a special kind of person that doesn't get easily offended.

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I been noticing a lot of fan trailer for a particular fight request. This could even be the most controversial to date. Two of my favorite controversial video game characters in a fight to the death. I felt this has plenty to be a great episode. Parts of that information could actually make a decent episode in The Desk of Death Battle, I hate that show.

This is going to be quite interesting, a lot of fun no doubt.

Both characters can urinate through different means, basically using their pee as a weapon. The Postal Dude can freely do so. On Friday, if you pee for a little while. You will be given a new task to cure your condition. In Conker's case, you have to go to particular spots to get drunk. Then you can freely pee on people in single player.

Also after a time limit not shown in either version, Conker needs to find another spot to get cured. Most Postal games are shooters while some sections of Conker's Bad Fur Day have shooting sections. At one point, both characters get tasked dealing with feces yes I'm not kidding. In Postal 4, one of three tasks within the sewers is clear paths blocked by feces.

In another task of the same game, you are collecting feces from a local restaurant around it's location. This is strangely interesting because in Conker's case, he needs to get cows to rip loose bathroom wise. Doing this allows Conker to move poo balls outside. In other words, Postal 4 you're cleaning up the sewers while you're virtually doing the opposite in Conker's case.

Conker gets help from an developer during the ending of Conker's Bad Fur Day. In some Postal games, The Postal Dude interacts with developers from Running with Scissors. I also need to point out Conker originally appeared in Diddy Kong Racing on Nintendo 64. Postal 4 does have some racing. More importantly Postal Redux got rereleased on Nintendo Switch.

Postal Redux and Conker: Live & Reloaded are newer, alternate versions of their original games. There is a cut scene if you die once in Conker's Bad Fur Day that introduces the lives system into the game. In Postal 2: Paradise Lost, The Postal Dude went to Hell then later escaped with his dog Champ. Both are also enemies to a famous terrorist group.

In Conker's case, it was the Tediz who are parodies of the Nazis. In Postal series, the terrorist organization Al Qaeda is based on the Taliban terrorists led by the late Osama bin Laden. Both had a blonde female companion, Berri was Conker's girlfriend. The Bitch is the Dude's ex wife who he later killed while in Hell. Berri got gunned down by Don Weaso.

Conker is a red squirrel while The Postal Dude has red hair including beard. Temporary both got transformed into an animal. Conker got bitten by his ancestor, Count Batula. He became a vampire bat that ended up feeding Batula too many villagers to transform back to normal. The Postal Dude delivered a package by passes out before leaving the area filled with chemical fumes.

He transforms into a cat with three cat related tasks. Completing them all, he transforms back to normal. Conker dealt with zombies in the chapter Spooky with either a shotgun or plowgun. In Apocalypse Weekend & Paradise Lost, The Postal Dude dealt with zombies. Both even got tasked with killing enough zombies to continue on the game.

Also in their games only destroying the head kills zombies. Conker has Anti-Gravity Chocolate as his health item. In Postal series, junk food as well as health pipe can heal you. A penalty will occur eventually among usage that will remove some health. Conker's Bad Fur Day, Postal 2 and Postal 4 all have their own hub worlds.

Defeating The Great Mighty Poo, Conker flushes him down. Among defeating Mike J in Postal 4, he gets flushed down a giant toilet. Both also got tricked going inside a barn or something similar. In Conker's case, he just helped Jack by feeding too much cheese to a mouse. He convinced Conker to go inside the barn where he got ambushed by hay characters.

On two occasions the Dude does travel around a farm. In the Dude's case, during Postal 4 among finishing his tasks. He ends up sleeping inside the stables with his dog Champ surrounded by donkeys. Obviously both are in controversial video games not much to say there. Both also gotten redesigned following a previous game.

In Conker's case, he got dramatically changed from Conker Pocket Tales because of criticism true story. In a weird way both have abandoned sequel stories. Postal III and Chapter X from Conker: Live & Reloaded as well as Conker's Big Reunion respectively. Both are alternate time lines features the terrorist groups our heroes are enemies of.

Originally The Postal Dude killed people in Postal 1, they dramatically changed him as well as the franchise being more comical as well as offensive for Postal 2 to up. Both also known for starring in some of the absolute worst video games in history. I'm not talking controversiality, I'm actually talking about games so bad. The internet widely aware of their existence for being very bad famous games.

Young Conker made exclusively for a device & Postal III respectively, even their fan bases hates them. Conker later became hated by his friends in the unfinished dlc follow up Conker's Big Reunion for Project Spark. In Postal series, it happens automatically I'm not kidding. It's virtually doomed to happen no matter which situation he's in.

Both also got to compete in a race where the goal wasn't about winning the race. In Conker's case, he got robbed by cavemen. During chasing them down, he collects his money back. In Postal 4, Vince tasks you to make sure the red racer wins. Although, he can still win the race forcing to fight his way out the building afterwards.

I should point out in both situations they race in place of someone else. Oddly happens because someone dies by accident. Speaking of money, Conker's only collectible is cash that talks. In Postal 4, The Postal Dude needs money because someone stolen his RV. He actually needs the money to get by. He does later buy a new RV during the ending of Postal 4.

Both also went to a graveyard involved with an older relative of theirs. In Conker's case, the graveyard isn't far from Count Batula's home. He also has a small graveyard behind the place too that has his own grave. In Postal 2, one of the tasks is pee on dad's grave in a graveyard. In Postal 4, it was later revealed to be his step dad's grave.

Conker had to do some jobs for Don Weaso which were forced onto him. In Postal 4, Vince acts like a mob boss. During escaping rednecks, Vince forces the Dude to do some tasks for him. Conker caused an Sunflower to get rape that somehow turns into pleasurable sex. Defeating a particular boss in Postal 4 leads to a sex cutscene.

I should point out you don't see anything but you get hear them doing it in both cases. This also includes Cat Dude doing a female cat as well. Both their game companies begins with the word R too. In 2005, Conker: Live & Reloaded and Postal 2: Apocalypse Weekend came out. In 2015, Rare Replay that includes Conker's Bad Fur Day and Postal 2: Paradise Lost got released.

Both their actions led to a puppet master's demise. In Conker's case, Conker pulled a leaver to open the airlocks while in space. This caused Professor Von Kriplespac to get sent out into space. The Boss revealed to be the Dude's dad chose to fight him. Of course, the Dude won he tried to save him. But his dad tried causing the Dude to fall to his death that failed.

Another reason I bring this up is both of them out played other leaders in the process. Professor Von Kriplespac tricked the Panther King into drinking an embryo that became a parody of an Xenomorph. Which led to his painful death. The Boss tasked the Dude to kill the other leaders before facing him in combat.

At the end of Conker's Bad Fur Day, Conker becomes king of all the land. In the secret ending of Postal 2: Paradise Lost. The Dude took out all the leaders then claimed Paradise for himself non canon though. In Postal III, one of the paths leads the Dude becoming the President of the United States. Which led to him firing nukes dooming the world, how is this the good ending?

Not to mention, Professor himself is a parody of Adolf Hitler. He did created the Tediz that ultimately loss because of Conker's involvement during the war. Osama appears in Postal 2, Postal III, Postal 2: Paradise Lost & Postal movie. Both Hitler & Laden went to war against another country leading to their respective deaths in real life.

I also want to point out in Postal 2: Paradise Lost you do have the option to kill Osama. In Postal III depending paths you may face him, Uncle Dave and former porn star Ron Jeremy. The alternative is all three of them gets murdered by soccer moms. Also in Postal Movie during the ending we see Osama & former president George W. Bush get nuked. 

Speaking of the Tediz, they are a robot army that look like vicious teddy bears. In Postal 2: Paradise Lost, The Dude defeated an army of urinal robots. They later returned during the apocalypse. The Tediz returns in Conker's Big Reunion dlc. In chapter Uga Buga, Conker goes inside as well as around an temple underground.

In Postal 4, a task has you going underground to find a parody of the Crystal Skull. Conker defeated The Big Big Guy, a boiler with a huge ball sack. In Postal 2 as well as Postal III funny enough you get to face Krotchy as a boss. He is a dick shaped mascot that's referenced a lot in the series. Conker escaped the Dogfish in the chapter Bat's Tower.

In Postal 2: Paradise Lost, the Dude has to face Champ in Hell to cure him. Conker can use his tails to hover similar to Tails in Sonic series. In Postal 2 & Postal 4, there's cheat codes that directly references Sonic's speed. In chapter Bat's Tower, Conker had to piss on fire imps to take some of them out before the boss fight.

In Postal 4, there is a bonus task using a hose to put out fire on an building. You do get task with using the hose inside an casino due to a lot of fire. In chapter Windy, Conker has to deal with a bull named Bugger Lugs as a mini boss fight. In Postal III, the Dude faces Rhinos that acts similar to a bull. In Postal 2, the Dude does have the option to rob the bank himself.

In chapter Heist, Conker with his girlfriend robbed a bank that turned out to be set up by the Panther King. Count Batula was a vampire whose a parody of Count Dracula from the 1992 Dracula film. Originally added in as a joke for A Week in Paradise mod for Postal 2. This became part of the game by Running with Scissors, you piss on Zombie Dad's grave to cause him to come out of his grave.

After Sunflower's sex cutscene, she offers to give Conker a bounce off her breasts. In Postal 4, there's a couple female sex jokes including a collectible of Kunny dolls. Early in Conker's Bad Fur Day, Conker having drinks at a bar with his friends. A few times in Postal 2 & Postal 4, we see the Dude party with other people mostly Vince himself.

In canon, both characters use uzis or just one in Conker: Live & Reloaded's case. They also use an shotgun, an rocket launcher and an baseball bat in Conker: Live & Reloaded as weapons. Although in Postal 2: Paradise Lost as well as Postal 4 has a power up that temporary allows dual wielding. The events of Conker's Bad Fur Day occurs as one crazy mess up day.

In comparison, Postal 2 has two crazy weeks with a little over an decade a part from each other. Postal 4 also had a crazy week too several years later. In canon the Dude had three crazy mess up weeks. At their core, they're both parody characters with somewhat similar personalities. In chapter Bat's Tower, Conker has to ride Bugger to ramp into Cows until three of them dies.

In Postal 2: Apocalypse Weekend, you are tasked with slaying 20 diseased cows. The cows returns in another task in Postal 2: Paradise Lost where you need to collect their milk. A weirder connection is Mike J during both Apocalypse Weekend as well as Paradise Lost being a Madcow zombie demon. Speaking of that, in chapter Spooky we see Gregg the Grim Reaper trying to reap several undead Catfishes.

In Postal 2, Madcow disease cause zombies. Conker does roll a big ball of feces then placed dynamite inside that got devoured by a giant dung beetle. Which caused him to get blown up. In both tasks with feces in Postal 4, you do have the option to blow up feces. Conker gets knocked out a few times in Conker's Bad Fur Day.

The Dude gets knocked out after pissing on his step dad's grave. In most Postal franchise, the Dude wears sunglasses. In chapter Heist in a parody of The Matrix's Neo outfit. Which does changed between versions of the game. Conker does wear sunglasses up to a point. Conker wears a blue hoodie while the Dude wears a blue coat in Postal 4.

The fire imps inside of The Big Big Guy triggered self destruct sequence causing the boss to explode. Conker had help from Franky to destroy Haybot by pressing the same button a few times. Eventually causing Haybot to fully explode. The Dude threw explosives into his ex wife's mouth while in Hell blowing her up.

I also need to bring up in Postal movie The Bitch while cheating on the Dude gets blown up with a police officer. Conker had to face security guards in chapter Heist. In several tasks the Dude had to take on security himself. Conker collects a lot of money inside the vault. The Dude gets permission to take some money in a vault within Postal 4.

Early on Postal 2, the Dude does have the option to wait in line then robbers shows up or he ends up robbing it instead. Don Weaso tasked Conker running with a huge bomb then throw it to screw over the cave people. Conker tricks a baby raptor to get sacrificed. The Dude gets tasked with killing elephants in Apocalypse Weekend.

The Dude has his dog Champ, the closest creature Conker had to that was a raptor. The same raptor killed a lot of cavemen gladiator style. Both Champ & raptor are vicious creatures that scares their enemies. Conker had to use the tank against The Experiment. Later he used the same machine pulled from Aliens against the final boss, Heinrich.

A few bosses in Postal III were in vehicles. Conker throws up before the game begins. During the game play through pissing at people can cause them to throw up. Obviously cows constantly pooing during a mini boss fight. In Paradise Lost, we see an elephant take a massive dump on a protestor. It's worth noting due to criticism both franchises went into their current direction.

Conker witnesses some of the squirrel soldiers getting executed. Both Postal 2 & Postal 4 had people killing each other especially over dumb shit. Very true during the apocalypse that occurs three times in canon. A few Robo-Spiders got onto the tank then exploded following a boss fight. In Postal 2, a member of Osama's terrorist group kamikaze into a small group of priests.

During Apocalypse Weekend, Vince got someone to kamikaze to blow open the gate for the Dude. If you let Conker ideal during game play, he will start playing Killer Instinct on Game Boy. One of the Postal Dude's lines, "I know what you are thinking, I don't even like video games." Queen Bee gets Conker to return her hive twice using it's weaponry to kill the wasps.

During Apocalypse Weekend, the Dude gets tasked placing an nuclear warhead then start detonation process. Conker hits on Jugga, Buga's girlfriend. He ends up getting turned down, keep in mind he's still in a relationship with Berri. Although The Bitch left before Apocalypse Weekend, it was confirmed in Paradise Lost the two were still married.

This is interesting because the Dude cheated late Saturday in Apocalypse Weekend. Conker starts with an hungover that gets cured thanks to a pill he received on the spot. In Postal 2, if you get the extra Friday task. the Dude needs to piss into a machine that gives him a cure for Gonorhhea. Both Conker's Bad Fur Day & Postal 2 are early 2000s controversial video games people are still talking about today.

I covered so much just among their similarities. Even the differences between those is rather interesting. I'm not going to hide it, this quickly became one of my top Death Battle requests. I am really on board watching these two go at it. It has plenty of potential to being one of the absolute funniest episodes ever made period.

Serious Sam: Siberian Mayhem review

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, not too long ago likely a couple months back. I reviewed Serious Sam 4 thanks to Game Pass on Xbox. Well I'm back with it's stand alone expansion, Serious Sam: Siberian Mayhem. Honestly, it's a very positive review because I wanted another great Serious Sam game. I strongly felt this was amazing stuff.

Serious Sam: Siberian Mayhem
Originally a mod in development. At some point, Croteam got involved with the team. This ended up becoming an expansion to Serious Sam 4. It's not often you pay expansions actually better than the game they were created for. This belongs in the same league as Half Life: Opposing Force. I am not kidding, this really made up for the lackluster experience Serious Sam 4 left.

You also could say this is one of the very best spin off Serious Sam games ever made. To me, most of those felt more like their own thing rather than actual Serious Sam games. Not trying to piss anyone off, that's just how I always felt about them. This is five levels long but these are well designed lengthy action packed levels.

In fact, I kinda wish there was more levels because that's how much fun I was having. I really didn't want it to end, you know you're playing a great Serious Sam game when you feel that way. The newer characters works well enough as well. This felt like a great ratio of old with new here. Yes there's thousands of enemies especially in the last level alone.

They brought back leveling up with abilities system. I am not going to lie this really blew the original game away hard. You get some awesome vehicles that are they're own unique experience. In Serious Sam 4, you mostly gotta hope you don't die. But here I actually can do more than just run away from the enemies.

I am impressed with the team's work. Not only they understood the franchise but even nailed it better than Croteam too. This belongs up there with the best of the franchise, it really is that damn good. I don't even have much negatives to say either. I hope this team gets to return to the franchise making another Serious Sam game.

Serious Sam: Siberian Mayhem is taking place in Russia, a nice change of things. You also get an rail gun, it's so satisfying to use. You could be surrounded badly with enemies then this thing quickly destroys them at a fast rate, it's mind blowing. I also felt Serious Sam does get some good lines as well. He seem a bit tired with them in Serious Sam 4.

You get to work fighting waves of enemies often. A great selection of weapons makes killing them all so addicting. There's a few boss fights as well. Amazingly my computer can run this game just fine. I bought it on GOG with Postal 4, it's way better than that game. Honestly, you aren't living if you haven't got to play Serious Sam games like this one.

Blade: The Iron Cross review (2020) Improved

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, A few years ago I reviewed Blade: The Iron Cross. I felt I grown a lot as a reviewer, I should review the film again. I'm a huge Puppet Master fan, I do felt some level of perfectionist in me over this. I watched the same movie I haven't seen in a while just for this particular revisited review.

Blade: The Iron Cross (2020)

Full Moon Features at the time was doing The Deadly Ten. They were making 10 movies around the same time. Which is ambitious since all films were funded by their fans. You would be surprise how many people enjoy movies like these. Don't worry the full line up for The Deadly Ten will be presented down below...

1. Blade: The Iron Cross (2020)

2. Bride of the Head of the Family

3. Halloweed Night

4. Necropolis: Legion (2020)

5. The Shadowheart Curse

6. Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama 2 (2022)

7. Femalien: Cosmic Crush (2020)

8. The Grim Rapper

9. The Hourglass

10. Blood Rise: Subspecies V

Blade: The Iron Cross is a sequel to Puppet Master: Axis Termination. This is the first spin off Puppet Master movie. More recently, they made a second one called Doktor Death. Which I felt was notably better in comparison. I am a bit mixed on Blade's appearance. In terms of the outfit, they nailed it. However I can't look pass how off his head looks.

I might as well get it all out. His head seems a little too big as well as bulky. He doesn't appear to have enough white heard either. The rough chin look doesn't work on Blade either. I felt that worked for Six Shooter because he's a cowboy with six arms. At least his neck isn't too long either. Sadly I would take this over the "improved" Blade design in Puppet Master vs Demonic Toys without question.

Considering he's my favorite Puppet Master character. of course that's a huge issue. Another big problem is we already made three movies focus on stopping the Nazis, why did we need another one? In that regard, this was the worst of those. Especially how Puppet Master: Axis Termination ended things with the Nazis, I thought they had other possible directions.

They easily could've went in rather than "Hell we been putting them against the Nazis, let's keep doing that!" Maybe the fans wanted Blade to get a more fair chance with a brand new story like Doktor Death film. Sadly we're here talking about the Nazis. Honestly, in placement alone along with Puppet Master: The Legacy both felt simply not needed or even wanted by the fans at all.

I also felt because the other puppets aren't present, this movie notably falls flat on the ground. I do welcome the concept of making spin off movies with these characters. You can clearly rush they rushed this one out. Sadly if it had extra time, it still would end up as a failure. I'm not saying this is the worst Puppet Master movie because it's not.

It is better than some of those without question. Way better than Puppet Master vs Demonic Toys which isn't unofficial to begin with. More recently Full Moon Features is pulling themselves together. Blade: The Iron Cross also failed to bring back the syringe Blade swap out for too. Of course, Blade gets some brutal death scenes.

Honestly, Puppet Master franchise is the only killer toys franchise I can name with more movies than Chucky. The new puppet master is a journalist who gets involved against the Nazis. It's not often when a woman gets that role in the franchise. Personally, I wish to see more of them do so because that in itself would bring out some rather interesting possibilities.

She had these dreams that's connected to Blade. Eventually, Blade hunting more Nazis down before you know it. Not to mention, the movie does drag on more than you're used to. Many Full Moon movies around that period. I felt if the movie was notably shorter with a good amount of the story gone. Then made it notably Blade killing everyone for an hour or less.

Then we would had a hit here. Sadly this isn't the case folks. Blade: The Iron Cross felt somewhat out of place. Also not having the previous puppet master from Axis Termination is a huge problem too. I know to some degree they explained why he left. But he was one of the best puppet masters ever. Either him or Toulon everyone else didn't even come close to those two.

Blade has a psychic connection to the puppet master, a concept directly pulled from Axis Termination. Don't plan on fully spoiling the movie. What I do plan on is revealing how wrong to think at the time back in 2020 it were somewhat decent when it wasn't at all. I can't even say one good thing about it. The film even failed at making Blade look good, you know you're in some trouble.

Even the main Nazis we see in the actual movie aren't even doing the Nazis correctly either. Considering this is following time line wise three events against the Nazis wow guys. I strongly felt this was a massive missed opportunity. An Nazi scientist found a method to directly control corpses like toy remote vehicles.

I got to mention the weirdest kill by far. Blade got destroyed by the scientist. All of a sudden, he reappeared inside him. Quickly ripped through his insides then as soon as his hat went back on, all the blood he had disappeared. Death is a weird topic with these puppets in the first place. At least, it was a bloody end for someone evil.

Which isn't that difference from Axis Rising plot where some people got their souls forced into Nazi puppet characters. Even there, one of them is incredibly offensive. This movie just felt more like lost scenes of those movies then edited together to sell it as a movie. Therefore, you already felt cheated. Honestly, I can not recommend watching this even if you are an Puppet Master fan.

Puppet Master: Doktor Death (2022)

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I waited a month. Not too long ago, Fullmoon Productions made Puppet Master: Doktor Death free for a short period. Yes I seen the trailer, I would say one of the better modern Puppet Master movie trailers. This is the second spin off film, how does it compare to Blade film only one way to find out.

Puppet Master: Doktor Death (2022)

I do need to correct something first from my previous Puppet Master movie review. Blade's movie was alright but simply wasn't needed since it further continues off of those fighting Nazis movies. Not to mention, Blade looked somewhat off too. I can't say the same for Doktor Death though. Like Blade's movie, Doktor Death is the only puppet featured in the movie.

Yes I am discrediting my own review of that film here, I'm allowed to do that. Eventually I'll rewatch it with a new review.

The movie itself takes place at an retirement home. The main character just joined the staff there. Three of them found Doktor Death hidden in a chest. I would say some of the most brutal kills so far in the franchise. It turns out Doktor Death is possessed by a demon, all of a sudden it's The Demonic Toys? I know that already sounds off.

Doktor Death is a master at slaying people. The movie is almost an hour long. The acting is well mixed at best. The only Puppet Master movie to not have Blade, I felt somehow it worked to their advantage. Blade puppet could be seen as a spiritual successor to Doktor Death. I would say it's better than some newer Puppet Master movies.

I felt how things plays out was done well enough to get the job done. Honestly, I would say I respect this was it's own movie. How it ties in to other Puppet Master movies isn't fully clear. There's always possibilities where they could go next. Speaking of which, I really wanna see them do an spin off movie with Torch.

Yeah make the high light people getting set on fire. Doktor Death has more of a variety among personalities than their recent movies. This doesn't quite feel like an Puppet Master movie. I do like some stuff it attempted like using an corpse like a puppet while inside of it, oh okay I liked that. At first when I heard the announcement, I was thrown off like why Doktor Death?

Thankfully it does make sense as you're watching the film. Honestly, the death scenes are brutal this time around. Just when you think the killing might slow down actually speeds up instead. People are afraid of doctors this film adds to that fear. I would say not to spoil the movie fully, the ending isn't what you'll expect.

Doktor Death ends up being a surprisingly refreshing entry in this still going horror movie franchise. I also felt the movie made retirement homes places you don't wanna be. Here's a movie not afraid to attempt exploring such concepts. In all honestly, this movie felt well made. Like Baby Oopsie movies, the ending credits is similar in style to that, I loved that here.

My reaction to The Mean One trailer

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, last month I talked about the announcement of The Mean One movie. Well now I'm going to talk about my thoughts on the actual trailer. It came out during a short period I got sick, I don't get sick often. If I wasn't sold on it already, I'm more so now. I really hope this gets release December 9th for movie theaters as well as on the 15th for unconfirmed streaming platform.

The Mean One trailer thoughts
The very beginning of the trailer giving us an narrator works well here. Especially when the twist comes up, Sue You Know Who loss her mother to The Mean One. We get a time skip of 20 years later, honestly I'm very happy with that. I don't think they would okay doing this with harming even killing children. The actual procession of the trailer looks well enough to get the job done.

The Mean One looks great still acting a more murderous parody of Jim Carrey's take on the character. My favorite part in the trailer actually the old man explaining the character. Of course, they had to do the famous crazy old man tread in classic horror movies here. I loved they decided to do a shotgun with an candy cane design.

I even liked the baseball bat with Christmas lights. It's no secret, there's a lot of horror movies centered on Christmas including those not even released in the month of December. This seems to have a good mix of humor & horror. A major reason why I always enjoyed stuff like Leprechaun series. I knew people had to do reaction videos on it, I already watched a couple of those myself.

If the movie does well, the guy playing The Mean One was in two of the best horror movies this year. Just imagine, it took a long time before Krampus got horror movies. Keep in mind, it isn't an authorized movie based on the same story. I also could say the same about another horror classic Nosferatu. Which itself came out all the way back in 1922, a couple years before Universal's first Dracula movie.

Yes that led to a lawsuit but somehow the film survived for a little over an century. Characters like Arthur as in the children book series who had a long ran cartoon show, Bambi and Winnie the Pooh. You know characters of your child hoods suddenly became nightmare fuel in their own horror films. Just to prove a point here, I will be very surprised if they actually do this.

I actually wanna see someone create a horror film out of The Muppets. Hell it already happened with The Banana Splits, an 70s show. I would pay for Kermit to turn Miss Piggy into a disgusting bomb yeah!!! I never said that's going to be pretty either. It seems like now they got more freedom to do whatever they want.

A huge reason I am very happy someone had the guts to do The Mean One. It makes perfect with not many changes necessary for the character. I respect they are going to make this a horror parody movie. It's hard to watch something that's difficult to take seriously that isn't even telling you hey it's a joke. The Mean One makes it crystal clear.

I also liked we don't get to see much of the locations during the trailer. Sometimes they show too much of those in trailers, it takes away as you're watching the movie. A lot of people can also agree some trailers are way better than the movies they're created for. I don't think that would be the situation here. Here's a trailer saying have a good time with the madness, bring your friends & family along.

A week left, we don't know if a second trailer might come out or not. Personally, I'm already happy with the trailer we gotten. It isn't as enjoyable to keep rewatching as the first trailer of Violent Night but parts of the second trailer is better than this one. I also plan to watch that movie soon. I felt The Mean One is already getting people interested in wanting to check it out.

It isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea but it should left some form of an impression good or bad. It obviously not going to be meh I don't think that's possible here. Either you love it or siding with the community trying to prevent The Mean One from releasing altogether. Regardless, Happy Holidays can we all just get along?

Postal 4: No Regerts review

Special thanks goes to Running with Scissors

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, it's been a while since I last talked about Postal franchise. Easily, one of the most controversial video game franchises ever. No one likes Postal III get that out of here!!! Postal 4 was in beta since 2019. Until earlier this year becoming officially released, so how does the true sequel to Postal 2 compares?

Postal 4: No Regerts
I can say this is better than Postal III despite never actually got to play that myself. To me, it's more what I would want than in Serious Sam 4's case. Just like Postal 2, the campaign is split up from Monday to Friday. Each day has different tasks with some notable changes. Such as you get a different boss for that day.

You also sleep somewhere else following completing that day. Of course, the apocalypse with you escaping the town happens again. They actually allow the players to select which voice actor gets used for The Postal Dude. Yes we even got the guy who played the character in Postal III as well as the amazing Zack Ward.

Honestly, I felt the set up for each day is a little too inconstant. Especially when you compare it to Postal 2. Speaking of that, I may not gotten as many crashes as Postal 2. I still got to experience some interesting technical issues. Personally I rather discuss the actual tasks you're given in Postal 4. In some of them, the humor is right off just a little lacking.

Sadly, a good amount of them simply came off being more like repetitive as well as being chores than actual fun. Yes the map is bigger but surprisingly lacks interactively. Yeah, the AIs aren't as interesting in their interactions as they were in Postal 2. Also a major problem especially before facing the final boss is they don't hide stuff all over the map.

Luckily you can find a spot you can die but keep most of your stuff. Trust me you may need that extra ammo. Unfortunately a major glitch indirectly makes the final boss too frustrating. Let's say you just died by the last boss. Usually in this game, you'll notice their health bars doesn't regenerate. However it turns out all of a sudden the game creates additional copies of the final boss.

Before I continued how this quickly became an issue. Postal 2 if you were low on anything. Just go out exploring anywhere you'll find stuff. Hell killing people does help speeding up the process too. Another major problem with the same glitch is you're stuck inside the elevator leading up to the final boss. Even if you kept skipping the cut scene, the same boss glitch occurs.

This was bad because if you nearly use up your resources, you had little to no way around the problem. Keep in mind, I bought this on GOG. For me, I had two major options to fix that problem. Either use codes or use an earlier save than my autosaves that are well within the glitch by that point. You will be surprised to know this isn't even the biggest design flaw I found in the game itself.

I had three to four of them at one time damn. Hey Running with Scissors someone really needs to fix that glitch please. You do get a handful of vehicles mostly scooters as well as go karts. I'm not trying to say this game disappointed me, it mostly felt like a sequel to Postal 2. It can't call it a direct reharsh of the same game since it does plenty differently.

What I can say is the weapons are a lot of fun to use. In terms of hitting your targets it's one of the best in the franchise. Postal 4 has a few areas tricky to look around on the map. I'm excluding inside buildings for reference. Postal 4 kinda tone the violence down a little bit but just enough I can still enjoy it. I can even argue ways Postal Redux is better than this.

I think it's time to talk about a major design flaw I found on Wednesday. It relates to Bidet tasks more directly going inside a building to install all of them including a wooden toilet. If you die at any point on that day, the game fails to give you a new set of Bidets. I made sure to look around the area with Mike J too for a while hoping I might've miss something.

There's slightly three options compared to the final boss glitch situation. The third option the one I ended up doing is restart Wednesday making sure I don't die doing both Bidet tasks. After those are done, it no longer matters if I die. Personally I never found such an issue within Postal 2. Even with the linear design of Apocalypse Weekend included.

Another weird not explained change is Mike J himself. In Postal 2, he became this weird cow demon character. But here all of a sudden is a regular human being again? I am very sure I didn't miss something story wise. I did like they chosen to parody DC's Bane character. Friday is broken up into three major sections with everything considered.

Friday starts with the usual tasks set up. After those are done, like Paradise Lost you take on all the leaders. I felt this is way more rememberable there. After defeating the final boss you escape the game ends. I do sorta like the new map but it just isn't Postal 2's Paradise map. I will respect a few major things about the game I gotta mention.

For starters, from 2019 to 2022 the fans step up to help Postal 4's development. This was more of bringing the community in development process was a clever idea. Of course, it came with it's own risks too. I also respected Jon St. John's take on the character, I simply prefer him voicing Duke Nukem. The game is still fun not playing the tasks, something you can't even do in Postal III.

The Rattler is one of my favorite weapons ever. They even went for an awesome Mortal Kombat reference line too. Postal 4 is trying so hard to be the next best Postal game. I do like they added in the ability to teleport around the map. There just wasn't enough of those on the entire map. People are likely going to steal your scooters not long after you get off them.

Unless you pick the right spots that barely has any people around. The game is a little weird in placements among reloading saves. I felt Cultic done this a bit better. I do hope Running with Scissors plans to make an expansion for Postal 4. I felt that would greatly help the game out in ways they can't even imagine.

For what it's worth, I do like parts of how they used The Postal Dude. I didn't even talk about the story well the important part of it at least. The story begins when Dude's RV gets stolen. They so happen to be nearby another town in Arizona named Edensin. Already being low on money, he works rather unpleasant jobs in hope to finding his RV.

A spoiler, he never finds it but ends up with a brand new RV instead. Enemy groups is announced a bit differently too. It's more automatically in Postal 2's case. Each day, a particular group becomes your enemy. When you get too close or they spot you, they will try to kill you. I also felt enemy are perhaps a little too accurate with their shots at times.

Postal 4 is debatable if it counts as a full game experience. Which I can see why despite having the full story. It still has many glitches as well as lacking some of the essential stuff that Postal 2 had. Postal 4 even tone down a little bit from offending people. I will say this is still better than Postal Movie. One cool thing about buying this on GOG is you automatically get the soundtrack free with your purchase.

Honestly, they should've went even crazier than what we gotten here. I'm sure if they had people would've loved this way more. I still see this as a good follow up to Postal 2. It's still way better than Dead Rising 4 which also suffered from lack of interactivity within the environment too. Postal 4 is a game the fans may enjoy but ultimately demands several changes to make it better.

I still got to talk about a particular joke they ended up doing on Tuesday. One of the tasks you have to put a package but the area is filled with chemicals. The game doesn't make it clear if what happens next was real or in the Dude' mind. You get to play as a cat version of the character. They made the tasks some stuff you expect of cats.

Sadly, they actually could've taken a bigger risk making it even funnier. Like Bully Dog task is one of the worst boss fights in the game. The easiest task in the entire game is find Milk in a store. Which is followed by a direct reference to Postal 2. The last one you get laid with a female cat. This angers a lot of male cats, some weird AI here.

I should point out you also get the option to go up walls of several buildings as well as light poles. I will give them credit for maintain the Dude's hair with Beard in cat form. Now stuff like this was actually funny guys. The humor needs work I'm not going to sugar coat things. Personally as someone who loves dark humor with a passion, I wanted more of that myself.

Hell does anyone remember this Postal 2? "You probably thought you weren't going to die today? Surprise!" To me that's actually both funny as well as mess up I love that line. I know Rick Taylor gotten a job but he later reprised the character for this game. To be honest, he doesn't sound like he previously did in the other Postal games.

I gotta ask the game does have a lot of toilet humor. Where was the famous line from Fullmetal Jacket when you really gotta hear it? I am serious I think a lot of thought would laugh hard if they had such a line into the game. To clarify which line I'm referencing have to curse folks. "Five foot nine, I didn't know they stacked shit that high."

VR task is alright, it isn't Saints Row series stuff though. In the Arcade area, they reference several game franchises I loved those jokes. To me, where were jokes like those in the bigger, more notable sections of the game? Early Thursday, you do start in a new section high up in the mountain surrounded by rednecks.

Personally this kept reminding me of Redneck Rampage series and Point Lookout in Fallout 3. I guess people that love FPS can't get enough of rednecks lol. Honestly, a handful of the right changes really would go a long way for this game. It just felt in areas I previously mentioned are the best spots to focus on.

It may not be the best Postal game of 2022. What it does offer is more freedom to do what you want. You also get to explore the map as much as you want. One tip for the prison task, codes for the storage rooms remains the same. But codes to lock down the cell blocks is always different. I will say that's my go to Monday task.

Another notable problem mostly during the apocalypse. Sometimes people will shoot at you. Chances are you are riding in vehicles. You may get shot dead not even see who killed you followed by that distance you had to cross again. Parts of the map is a little lengthy to clarify. You could be almost as one of the boss fights then all of a sudden you get shot dead without warning.

Thankfully, they aren't giving crazy weapons like rocket launchers. I did play the game on Normal. You would think reaching the boss then die, you start not too far from that boss but nope. Thankfully any damage previously done is still present. In a weird way I'm glad because the apocalypse ends up being the best section to stock up on supplies in the entire game.

Sadly you have to do a few tasks on Friday to get such an opportunity. This is a huge reason why so many fans greatly prefers Postal 2. I know I'm criticizing the same issue again. But you just don't know how frustrating Friday at it's core is. In total, you got five bosses yeah that by itself will use up a lot of your resources.

In Paradise Lost's case, getting supplied up was much earlier for a similar set up. There's another bigger difference too. During Friday there those were optional boss fights you could do. Not to mention a more interesting boss line up in comparison. Yes Vince and Mike J are included in both boss line ups. You also could face Gary Coleman, Osama bin Laden yes the famous terrorist and Zack Ward.

They are also more interesting due the more risks offending people their factions were. On one hand you could face some or all those secret bosses or escape it makes no real difference. You don't get a choice in Postal 4's case. I felt they were to find a possible loop hole there maybe more people might enjoy the game more.

I should also point Ward is recently starring in A Christmas Story Christmas with most of the original cast returning. The true sequel to A Christmas Story well forget about A Christmas Story 2!!! Sadly they don't reference the movie but the original movie itself got referenced in Paradise Lost. Even in the Postal Movie, I respected his take on the character.

In comparison to Postal III, this already had huge shoes to fill as the true sequel to Postal 2. Essentially the best game Running with Scissors ever made. I even argue Postal: Brain Damaged is better too. Parts of Postal 4 felt not enough of the actual theme or came off being a little dated or doesn't fit at all. Postal 4 is still a fun game despite it's flaws.
