Another Puppet Master: The Game entry

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, a lot of stuff came up in several months. On the side I been playing Puppet Master: The Game. To clarify, this isn't going to be an final review. This is for all purposes an follow up blog entry. I have to talk about two factions added to the game since my last review.

Also there are paid dlcs mostly skins as well as a new execution animation for Blade. I highly recommend checking those out.

Very quickly I didn't mention the Puppets faction gotten it's own dominator. Deacapitron had the soul of Andre Toulon. Easily, one of the most broken characters in the entire game. He virtually covers more ground than anything else. It's actually difficult to find something not great about him. I forgot to mention him in my last entry about this game.

Totems
Totems came from Puppet Master 4 and 5 respectively. Although parts of their story also came from Retro Puppet Master. You play as these small demon creatures. Like the Puppets, you can go inside the vents. There's currently five of them you can play as. I say my two favorites are Sutekh and Totem Ravager respectively.

Sutekh is obviously the dominator for his faction. I know some of you are wondering what's an dominator right? The dominators are suppose to be the most powerful in that faction. There's even an option in multiplayer matches to use them or not at all for fairness reasons. Head Hunter sorta reminds me of another Full Moon character, Ooga Booga.

For me the one that stands out in a weird way is Mephistopheles. He wasn't originally an Totem character at all. Look I know, this game created two new Totem characters. But my point is this particular character was used by the late Andre Toulon. In Puppet Master 3, he used the puppet in his puppet shows.

Indirectly it sorta made sense since he does play on mystic side. Especially what Totems represent in this game. I also think he's the trickiest to play as in that faction. Ravager is great in close encounters. I actually think he's the easiest to play as. You may take a little time getting use to how to damage enemies with him though.

Demonic Toys
Demonic Toys came into the game earlier this month. This is technically their second crossover with Puppet Master. At the same time, this also their first official crossover with them. This time, Full Moon Productions is involved with this. I also felt they chosen the right characters from Demonic Toys franchise.

My two favorites are Mr. Static and Zombietoid respectively. I will actually talk about them last to help give you an idea how awesome both of them are. Jack Attack is sadly the worst among them. You really need to get use to how he works to survive longer. I do recommend playing him offline for awhile.

Baby Oopsie is alright, the gun is somewhat helpful. Sometimes you hit someone while other times miss. The knife works well enough especially the alternate knife attack. Grizzly Teddy can be more dangerous in a few ways. Among attacking someone, he regains some of his health. He can do a lot of damage with his claws.

A little risky, he also can down human characters with one bat swing. I loved they given him the bat just in that scene in the original Demonic Toys movie. Monster Teddy is easily in the top three in his faction. He's the dominator well it kinda should be obvious. This is Teddy altered by his master to become an bigger bear monster.

Due to his height he can't enter vents. However he actually has some surprising advantages to help make up for that. Being the tallest in his faction as well as the tallest of every character offline. He can easily destroy some Raven statutes with his claws. He also can go berserk to easily break down doors.

Like his smaller self, he regains some health while attacking enemies. He also can run fast too making him scary to face. Now we finally can talk about the best of them. Zombietoid is hands down the second best by far. He wields this awesome rifle you can aim from an distance. He actually can instant down human characters if he shots em in the head correctly.

He also has an machete that works well in combat. He can easily swap between the two weapons in matches. I'm also glad they chosen such an obscure character. He did hold his own against Doll Man that earned my respect. It's a shame he haven't appeared until this game. Honestly, he was one of the more awesome Demonic Toys characters.

He also can roll that sorta helps preventing some situations. I also loved that Major Chip Hazard reference skin. They previous given Six Shooter his Woody reference skin too. Now Mr. Static steals the show not even Zombietoid compares. He can move a lot faster for a short period of time. He fires laser blasts that deals damage at a fast rate.

He also has an additional blast projectile attack that sorta helps him escaping some situations. By default, Mr. Static does move incredibly slow. Despite that, he can easily destroy people in matches, I seen it. Not trying to cause anything, I kinda felt he should've been the dominator. I am not kidding, he's a surprisingly strong character in this game.

New executions
I figured since I'm already talking more about the actual game. I may quickly talk about the newer executions added to the game. Blade got an dlc execution that's among my favorites on his faction. Totems' executions are mostly fine with Mephistopheles having my favorite. Now some of my absolute favorites are from Demonic Toys faction.

I actually loved all their executions a lot. Very faithful to each one with Zombietoid having one of the funniest in the entire game. My two favorites were Mr. Static and Monster Teddy respectively. Most executions doesn't do more to an human's body. These two particular characters destroys human heads in their executions.

Now that's literately mind blowing lol. On a more serious note, each new executions further spices up the game. All of these more recent executions are making the game more exciting. Honestly, I can't say for more characters to show up in the near future. Obviously, these finishers are worth your time to do either in matches or playing offline.

Demonic Toys: Jack-Attack (2023) review

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I promise it took so long to finally getting around doing this review. I also need to apologize regarding the last three Demonic Toys reviews I done. I recently found out all three of them were actual episodes of a short show not movies. Regardless I'm back with another spin off of the franchise with my favorite Demonic Toys character, Jack Attack.

A little heads up, I already planning another Puppet Master: The Game blog entry. This one will cover two new factions added to the game since my review. Now you got something related to look forward to. Look it's no secret, I absolutely love evil clown characters ever since child hood. Obviously, I had to watch this on Tubi when I found out the movie was on there.

Demonic Toys: Jack-Attack (2023)

I do wanna see this loosely connected to Baby Oopsie's more recent stories. Previously they done a few spin off films including two for Puppet Master series. I also need to point out for some reason, Jack Attack's hair is blonde. In this case the different hair color worked. Jack isn't alone, another clone character helping him murder people.

The story follows an orphan that lost the ability to speak. Eventually her past comes back to haunt her. I will say right off the bat, this is one of the better entries in Demonic Toys franchise. For me it made up for Demonic Toys 2 and the unofficial crossover movie. I haven't seen many characters similar to Jack Attack except Der Klown from Krampus the Universal film one.

Most of the characters is what you expect from Full Moon's movies. Jack gets some brutal kills in the movie. One weird part I liked is when he gets told to go back inside his box. Honestly I'm happy to see Jack Attack return. Parts of the movie sorta comes off like Silent Hill oddly enough. The movie is a little shorter than expected.

It's also the last Full Moon movie with William Butler. He also wrote the story for the film. I would be somewhat proud leaving with a movie like that. Maybe it's just me it felt like they have to constantly change up what Jack Attack can do. It sorta comes off as they can't decide how to make him scarier.

Now that would've made sense if he were an Rubik Cube. Which he isn't by any means, he's a clown theme Jack in the Box. If you are a fan of the franchise you may enjoy this. It's kinda funny the spin off Demonic Toys stuff way better than Puppet Master's spin off films. This movie was surprisingly better than expected in a few ways.

This felt like the right balance despite being an low budget 2023 film. Jack Attack does come off being somewhat scary. His clown friend comes more off being creepy at times. This old woman secretly the one pulling the strings. You know they have to make another Demonic Toys movie in the near future.

Personally I would love to see an spin off film with Zombietoid. For those not familiar with the character, he last appeared in Dollman vs. Demonic Toys movie. He was the soldier action figure in that movie. The more I think about, the crazier such an film could possibly be. I will say this movie is a must see for fans of the franchise or you simply love Full Moon movies as a whole.

Resident Evil 3.5 Code: Madman review

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, today I review what may seem like old news to RE fans. But a lot of people never knew about this fan demo recreation of a scrapped RE4 for years. This also came out a year before Resident Evil 2: Source, original mod not the more recent Garry's Mod version. By now some of you know I recently voted this into Bawkbasoup's Resident Evil Franchise Marathon.

Resident Evil 3.5 Code: Madman (2017)
If you remember RE4's E3 trailer. Yeah remember when E3 was a thing lol sorry bad joke. Originally the game would've been more of an Silent Hill game. Similar to what happened with Resident Evil 1.5. Capcom chosen to scrapped the game forcing the team starting over. In both cases lead to finical successes.

Unlike Resident Evil 1.5, the game eventually became the original Devil May Cry. Which maintains a lot what was represented in RE4's E3 trailer. An YouTuber named ShiguWorks recreated this scrapped RE4 in a fan demo. I played a lot of demos, I won't rank these among them since this is a fan creation. I will say it's surprisingly decent for what it is.

The controls with an controller sorta felt like an GameCube controller. After all Resident Evil 4 was originally an GameCube game. You mostly have two enemies in the entire demo. You got this zombie early on you have to eliminate. The other enemy is invisible but you can see em through a mirror. There's a few endings as well.

I mostly gotten the main ending, better than try again ending. I couldn't figure out how to get the famous Hooked Man ending. Although there's a few differences between the two best endings. Yes they pulled stuff from RE4 and RE5 to help recreate this. I felt those were used effectively well in this demo. It's a short demo but I enjoyed it more than expected.

This actually felt like an horror game more than the actual RE4 games. I can't stop comparing it to Silent Hill series. Especially some of the earlier entries mostly Silent Hill 3. Not a rip off but it's still notably similar in a few ways. Resident Evil 3.5 Code: Madman has another unexpected surprise on the main menu itself.

You actually can move the camera which was strangely interesting. Obviously you play as Leon as you explore around this haunted location. You mostly have an handgun with an knife that's it. Now I also loved at times the overall colorization turns blue. Not only that, this has more going on than actual RE demos more recently.

This was a rather curious concept since they never made a demo of the scrapped RE4. This is technically the closest we ever gotten to. Capcom doesn't like fans doing stuff like this. It's still not clear if there were plans making an full what if game or just the demo was planned. What we do know is they does truly nailed the experience you get rewatching that E3 trailer.

I am glad I voted it into Bawkbasoup's Resident Evil Franchise Marathon. I always been an huge Leon fan ever since classic RE2. This demo was quite impressive to say the least. The visuals alone is enough reason to give this a try, you have to download it online. End of the day, it's a piece of Re history a lot of people forgotten about.

Resident Evil 3.5 Code: Madman is a great demo. Despite a lot of stuff you do being very unlike RE at all. You never get turned off by it either. The controls works near perfect with some tank control aspects to em. Personally I wish the demo itself could've been a little longer. It sorta reminded me of Lost of Nightmares from RE5 but acting more like RE4's answer to that.

My thoughts on Bawkbasoup's Resident Evil Franchise Marathon

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I kept tuning in Bawkbasoup on Twitch & YouTube. He spent a few weeks playing Resident Evil series for long hours. Currently over six days worth of Resident Evil content. His editors is taking a lot of time to edit every single RE run in this marathon into videos. As a huge fan of the franchise, I clearly got a lot to say.

Keep in mind, a lot of streams over two weeks worth of gaming. He took breaks in between them all but still mostly long streams. The average length possibly could be 8 to 11 hours. I got to respect someone going full in. Especially when the fans kept adding in RE stuff for him to play. Not to mention, the insane rate they were going about it alone is worth giving him much deserved praise.

First I want to directly talk about Bawkbasoup himself. He's the ideal streamer you wanna watch. He is virtually reinventing how it works. He does engage his audience a lot during his streams. He also lets them make several decisions, some of which are rather interesting in this particular case. He also has a few bonus RE runs within this marathon because he's a very nice guy.

I also must give him credit for finishing every single RE run within a day each constantly. People don't realize how hard it is. Especially when you throw in BioRand and hardest difficulties of actual RE games in. He virtually kept giving us plenty of RE stuff as if he were giving out candy. Personally I'm more of a salty person than a sweets one myself, I love salty food with an passion.

You could even say Bawkbasoup isn't an RE player. The way he plays even the stuff he never played before. I say he's an RE God, everyone should give respect to. There's plenty of truly impressive runs he's done in this marathon. He kept setting the bar of greatness so high, not many people remotely comes close to that insane level of skill.

Here's the ridiculous game lineup from start to finish down below...

Also don't be surprised multiple Resident Evil games shows up in this list either. Not only that I figured separating them into categories may help out a bit.

Update: Mikhail run isn't getting a video. But for the record the chat chosen Mikhail. It was done in one attempt but it easily would've been the shortest video. Officially Assignment: Ada video is the shortest in the official playlist. Personally I'm still counting that minigame run. I also wanted to help prevent any confusion that might've caused.

Sadly he lost the footage for those RE5 chapters, there won't be edited videos of those runs.

Resident Evil Franchise Marathon started on December 31, 2023. A little over two weeks later on January 17th, Resident Evil Franchise Marathon ends. A sad day for a lot of us RE fans, we still want more!!! Officially clocked in a little over six days worth of RE content. I bet he needs an vacation very soon lol jk pal.

Before I can actually talk about the ridiculous RE stream marathon. Some of you may never heard the term subathon before. When streamers does particular long streams. They directly involve their viewers to possibly subscribe to their Twitch or/and YouTube channels. For every 200 subscribers, he adds another run into the marathon.

Even he stated he originally planned to do nine runs. But he kept getting subscribers at a crazy rate. Basically this marathon turned into a lot bigger than anyone could possibly imagine. He does spice things up with a lot of these runs  Three particular mod runs I will be discussing gives that a completely new meaning.

Some of these runs he does an additional challenge. Like early on he's done an Chris knife run in original RE1 or mostly pistol run on Professional in Resident Evil 4 Remake. Clearly he doesn't shy away from an challenge. It's kinda mind blowing he's doing this entire RE marathon the way he is. I would be very proud to shake his hand for just doing this insane RE marathon.

Some of these games we weren't even sure would be possible to do in the marathon itself. A recent example of this being Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D. Yes a lot of RE games got multiple runs. This franchise widely known for it's replay value. I'm sure some of us RE fans imagine doing an RE stream marathon like this.

I'm even surprised all four RE6 campaigns got played in this marathon. Two of them were voted in being Jake and Leon runs respectively. Some people do over react about several things regarding RE6. It may be the worst main RE game but still way better than many RE games. It's playable to a degree is possibly the best say I possibly could say about the game itself.

Then you actually watch someone do the very concept to a ridiculous degree live is very mind blowing. This marathon is incredibly true to it's name. You could even say the kitchen sink is in there too. I already discussed majority of these games in greater details. I confess a lot of them I never played before but I would love give them a try.

Here's the list of RE games, prototypes and mods I never played down below...
1. Resident Evil: Deadly Silence
2. Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D
3. Resident Evil: Degeneration
4. Resident Evil Gaiden
5. Resident Evil Survivor 2
6. Kendo Cut
7. Kendo Uncut
8. BioRand
9. Resident Evil 2: Source
10. Resident Evil 1.5
11. Resident Evil 3.5 Code: Madman

Both Kendo mods are essentially parody mods for classic Resident Evil 2. These gets pretty out there with it's humor especially Kendo Uncut doesn't hold back on that. He done three back to back BioRand runs in a row. He directly involves both his Twitch & YouTuber viewers. I was asleep missing out on the first BioRand run setup.

I will explain what exactly is BioRand. At it's core, BioRand is an ambitious randomizer mod. Nearly every aspect of the games it works with altered in ways you can't imagine. More recently, the scripting can get altered effectively transforming these classic RE games into entirely different games. I am not going to sugar coat it, this mod is really mind blowing stuff with it's insane depth.

I still ended up enjoying watching that run, the least craziest out of the three. The second BioRand run ended up being surprisingly awesome in ways I can't explain properly. He does have a notable history with this mod as well as doing several runs of it in a row before. I will be honest I felt very bad about the last BioRand run.

This particular mod run was incredibly unforgiving. I don't know where it would rank among the worst BioRand runs he's done. I could imagine this had to be quite high on the worst list. He struggled to get going in, eventually he figured how to adapt. Which was in all honesty very impressive to me. Just imagine a little too much of a few enemies nearly made this close to impossible run.

Look I know just giving such loose descriptions how bad it was isn't justifying enough here. He did max out the zombies but several creatures showed up a lot more in the actual run. The very creatures that can quickly end anyone RE player's run fast. Both Hunters was notably increased in amount. Surprisingly a lot more zombie dogs especially later in the same run.

Of course, people love Nemesis don't worry there's enough of him too. A few areas had several Nemesis trying to kill him. Keep in mind, all three BioRand runs he also enabled Door Randomizer. Officially I voted for that twice RE2 and RE3 respectively. It's not what I call an win when it was incredibly obvious going to happen no matter what.

Not only the worst of creatures was more notably presented in the game. He also had to deal with Door Randomizer often. One particular sequence he had to wait while a lot of zombie dogs tried to kill em. BioRand absolutely no joke here. He played on Normal but let's be brutally hard. Playing these on Easy would've been Very Hard at best here.

You could even say this was essentially Hell on Earth RE3 experience. It was so intense from start to finish. He had to kept changing the script but maintain most of the options. There's a lot of deaths from this mod run, no surprise. Honestly, I'm even amaze with all the trouble we gave him. He kept pushing toward even the worst it dealt then beat the game, truly inspiring stuff sir.

Honestly I'm glad we chosen RE5 Wesker as the main character. This alone made this a truly rememberable run. Some of the stuff Wesker says was funny. Some of it surprises you because those lines weren't expected at all. Obviously, RE5 Wesker alone was the best part of the entire experience hands down.

You could even say we forced this streamer literately through Hell itself. It was a special kind of torture, I wish I could do something to say I'm sorry for doing such an difficult run. Out of no where one particular poll got a surprise addition. Originally it was going to between another RE6 run or what's left of RE2 Remake respectively.

Someone convinced Bawkbasoup to add Resident Evil 2: Source mod to the poll. I will confess I didn't know the mod, I didn't vote for it. I wanted what was left of RE2 Remake, which also loss the following poll. This was a forgotten incomplete Half-Life 2 mod recreation of classic RE2. I got to say this was surprisingly faithful.

I actually got interested in wanting to give this a try myself. The mod is missing cutscenes, enemies and other characters. Also it is obviously based on Leon A Scenario. A few things quickly tipped me off on that. I'm still surprised we allowed an RE theme mod in a different game into the marathon. I'm not saying it's doom to fall, quite the opposite in fact.

Around January 12th, people started talking about this Source RE2 mod. He did notice some of those himself. He also mentioned people kept asking him to play it. This poll was a golden opportunity for that, you bet majority wanted it. This mod in question was originally released back in 2018. Despite that, a lot of people including myself never knew about the mod until the day of it's stream.

Recently, someone recreated this mod for Garry's Mod. Which is an even easier way to play this mod. Which more people are learning about this version of the same mod now. I'm already a huge fan of Garry's Mod, I may play that version of it very soon after this marathon. I figured to point this out for those interested to give the mod a try especially if the actual mod doesn't work for some reason.

What I meant is people likely going to throw out other games with Resident Evil mods. No guarantee if any of those make it into the marathon or not. You get to see a lot of these games get played in ways you couldn't imagine. Like an knife run as Chris in the original Resident Evil or his RE4 Remake Professional run.

A handful of these RE games ended up being the solo game in their respective streams. He does try to play a few RE stuff during an stream. He isn't taking the easy route in majority of these games either. This guy is very skilled in what he does. He can play a lot of them on their hardest difficulties. Yes you will be seeing that a lot in this marathon.

He gets help from the viewers often during these streams. Some of them even helped made some of these runs possible. I'm not just talking about more subscribers either. They give him advice as well as help him get some of them working including that Source RE mod. Honestly I'm still trying to accept the fact one man is playing all of this alone.

I stated earlier his editors are preparing the long videos on each run in this marathon. They already include a lot of those runs into a playlist. I do have to mention a possible issue that might affect Bawkbasoup in the near future. Recently Capcom is striking YouTube videos with their games being modded.

It's no secret, Bawkbasoup has a lot of modded Capcom runs on his YouTube channel. I don't think they would hit him for classic RE mods as well as RE2 Source mod. The actual concern itself comes from his RE4 Remake run with some of the characters being modded. I guess we will see if Capcom does anything about that upcoming RE4 longplay video or not, I am rooting he'll somehow be fine.

You really couldn't possible ask for an RE stream marathon better than this. I'm not trying to insult every streamer that previously done RE marathon neither those preparing their upcoming ones. What I am saying is this lineup with the insane amount of time that went into it. I could easily say no one's RE stream marathon going to be able to compete with this in the long run, it set the standard!!!

I can't say much on Resident Evil 1.5 other than what's common knowledge about it. At one point, this originally was going to be Resident Evil 2. Capcom decided to scrap the game forcing the team to start over. Which led to the classic version of Resident Evil 2 everyone knows. This was played off an emulator for this marathon.

Although, someone recreated this prototype in a mod. It's not often I see video game prototypes get streamed. Somehow this marathon felt more complete with it being included. Yes he did use a feature to cheat the game a bit but for the most part play it fair. The actual cheating in question was speeding up getting items he needed for the run itself.

He was even able to get an 3DS emulator to work with Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D. For those that never played or heard of this game before. Capcom got greedy following RE4 and RE5's The Mercenaries respectively. They decided to get a different company to make a more full The Mercenaries game.

Oddly enough, they chosen to do the very concept on an Nintendo 3DS. Which ended up being one of two RE games released for the handheld. The other RE game being Resident Evil: Revelations 1. Indirectly, it does help tie some of these RE games in the marathon even closer together. This also among the shortest runs he's done for the marathon as well.

He attempted to get one of the mobile RE games to work on his stream. Resident Evil: Degeneration game which a lot of people didn't know existed due to being an mobile game. Most the mobile RE games is mostly in Japan. On January 15th, during his Degeneration run. His stream got cut short, hopefully he didn't get ban over the mods situation.

Oddly enough some of RE4's aspects are presented in Resident Evil: Degeneration. More recently this game gets dubbed the lost RE4 sequel which it technically is. I also believe the same team behind the mobile version of RE4 made this too. I don't know how this measures up to a similar situation that Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop on Wii had.

For those that doesn't know I will help paint the picture. On both platforms a port of RE4 came out first. Then the same team got tasked making another game that brought aspects of RE4. Dead Rising is it's own franchise but still has some similarities to Resident Evil. The point is both these are considered lost games that isn't necessary well received.

Thankfully he was able to restart his stream to continue his run in Resident Evil: Degeneration. Indirectly this helps his editors since they can pull from two streams instead of one. Editing wise, it's much easier to edit a long video using multiple streams than one lone stream from my experience. In all honestly, I am very thankful to tune in to such an truly amazing RE stream marathon.

I usually suck at polls but my second best was BioRand for RE2 in choosing the main character poll. The best is currently a tie no joke. We have RE5 Wesker being the main character in BioRand for RE3. Very recently, my other winning vote in one of these polls is voting Resident Evil 3.5 Code: Madman in.

Officially it's an fan game but also an attempt at recreating what almost was Resident Evil 4. Not a lot of people knows that scrapped RE4 eventually became the original Devil May Cry. Now that in itself was awesome. This fan game had a few multiple endings despite being among his shortest runs by far. Personally I do recommend parts of that scrapped RE4 footage.

It was a major factor why I ended up voting for this fan game. I nearly voted for another Code: Veronica X run that would've been an knife run this time. I just more interested in checking this fan game more since I seen majority of the choices on that poll before. Now you actually can say this Resident Evil marathon virtually has everything.

We got nearly every RE game you possibly could name. We got some of the most famous RE mods. Some of the mini games got played as well. There's also a real prototype RE game. We had a mod that's in an non RE game. We even fully brought in an fan game. I strongly felt in nearly every possible way. This is very Resident Evil right down to it's core, you really can't ask much more than this.

Just in case someone says anything. Half-Life series has some similarities to Resident Evil series. Like both heavily involves science, zombies and somewhat complex story telling. Let's be honest, it sorta made sense for someone to make RE2 Source mod. Obviously Half-Life is more supernatural in comparison with beings from another plain of existence.

We even had a few Handheld RE games including an mobile movie game. Some of which I'm still surprised ended up in the actual marathon itself. To clarify, he reached as far as he possibly could go. No one has the right to question the title of this legendary RE marathon. I couldn't be any happier to being an fellow RE fan during all the madness.

We also have a few alternation versions of the campaigns played. I'm not talking about mods either, it's mostly in a few versions of RE1. He plays Invisible Enemy Mode as Jill in RE1 Remake. Both characters' Rebirth Mode in Resident Evil: Deadly Silence as well. This marathon felt like we're diving straight into not only the multiverse but the fandom itself.

It was predetermined he's going to end the marathon with Resident Evil Village. I am a little worried about Capcom possibly giving him a strike over a modded run. I didn't include RE4 Remake and Village to mods section because it's more or less what some characters looks like. They are much less minor to BioRand and both Kendo Cut mods respectively.

I could say Bawkbasoup or a huge fan of his editing the entire marathon into one insanely long video. Then call it The Greatest Resident Evil Movie Ever. A lot of people would agree it really is. Honestly, this was so much fun to watch. Either during the actual streams or watching the edited longplay videos. You don't feel like you are missing anything.

Although his stream did stop preventing RE5: Lost in Nightmares and Desperate Escape from getting fully finished. It's hard to say if those still count or not here. Majority of these runs are completed. As stated before, he does complete most of them on hardest or close to hardest difficulties. He was crazy enough to run BioRand in three classic RE games in a row.

RE5: Lost in Nightmares was completed after all. He never finished Desperate Escape in the same marathon due to lack of interest. Also a lot of people weren't interested in seeing him finishing it either. To be fair, Lost in Nightmares was a homage to early RE games. Desperate Escape just felt like something quickly put together that's it.

I don't have much negative to say about the actual stream marathon neither the streamer himself. I felt everything for the most part was done nearly perfectly. I really didn't expect anything like this early 2024. In all honestly, it helped renew some of my views on many RE things over the years. Directly he entertained all of us, we really didn't want this RE marathon to end.

I don't think the marathon suddenly ruined if he were to finish it by playing Shadows of Rose either. No matter what Village was always meant to be it's end. I meant the marathon itself, he likely put it up to a vote, the last one think careful too. The world will never see anything like this ever again, treasure it as much as you possibly can.

Bunker of Blood Collection 1-8 Full Moon compilation video series review

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I recently been watching several Full Moon movies as well as some related stuff on Tubi. No guarantee on more future reviews, I may consider it though. Today, I will be reviewing Full Moon's Bunker of Blood Collection 1-8. They never rereleased all of them together officially.

Bunker of Blood Collection 1-8 (2018-2019)

Puppet Master: Blitzkrieg Massacre
Deadly Dolls: Deepest Cuts
Death Heads: Brain Drain
Vampire Slaughter: Eaten Alive
Psycho Sideshow: Demon Freaks
Zombie Lust: Night Flesh
Killjoy's Carnage Caravan
Butcher's Bake Off: Hell's Kitchen

Yes all eight of them is currently available to watch on Tubi.

Full Moon has a habit of making compilation videos. Largely reusing a lot of the same footage in majority of them. Personally I recommend watch the actual movies over these. No seriously, there's little to nothing new. The only thing new you won't see elsewhere is an animated horror comic style story. You only see half right in the beginning with their concluding half near the end.

Someone compilated all those together, it's less than an hour long. Each video compilation has a different theme. Two of them I don't even need to say the most recurring franchises since those names are already in the titles. Altogether you could watch em for Halloween, it does embody my vision of the holiday. The new story ultimately doesn't mean much sense with a lackluster conclusion.

You get a little an hours worth of horror content each. Again, why do that if you simply can watch the actual movies is beyond me. I don't plan to review every video compilation they made. It may be nearly as pointless as me reviewing this particular lineup of them. I will say some of the footage I haven't seen before did peak my interest a bit.

I will reveal the remaining six themes if they already weren't obvious by their respective titles. Deadly Dolls is mostly Demonic Toys series. Death Heads is mostly something head theme. It doesn't have a particular franchise unlike majority of these. Tourist Trap and Head of the Family being heavily represented in it.

Vampire Slaughter is Subspecies series. I may previously mentioned this, Subspecies crossed over with Horror Legends a few years ago. You can actually play as Radus as well as his small servants. Psycho Sideshow also lacks a particular main franchise represent. Some of the expected classics like Castle Freak is presented.

I also felt this one could be considered the everything else category. It's quite a weird selection of films represented. Zombie Lust has Trancer series, I knew about that franchise for years. Until recently, I didn't know it was a weird zombie franchise. I did sorta knew a particular actor in those films also played Doll Man.

Butcher's Bake Off is mostly Gingerdead Man series. A little of Evil Bong since he is in some of those movies too. Otherwise, it's mostly an Gingerdead Man video compilation. Puppet Master is easily among the best of these hands down. I also sorta enjoyed Killjoy's Carnage Caravan as well. They didn't pull much from the first two Killjoy movies, it was enjoyable to me.

At the very end, it would led to Deadly 10. Full Moon had some of their plans felt through during that. I think half the planned movies in the lineup came out since then. Honestly, it just felt like rewatching the same clips with weird pacing. I say that because they don't have a set order of the footage represented. You may go for one of their older movies.

Suddenly to one of their newer movies. It doesn't line up well through out all eight of these video compilations. I can promise you, there's plenty of deaths in all of these. I don't wanna say these are a huge waste of time. At the same time, you would be happier with the actual films than these. End of the day, I can't necessary recommend them unless you don't mind video compilations in general.

I do have a few quick announcements for some upcoming blog entries to expect. Yes I am planning an review on Demonic Toys: Jack-Attack. I been watching this streamer, Bawkbasoup's Resident Evil Franchise marathon. I really wanna discuss the entire marathon in the near future. In all honestly, some truly amazing, mind blowing runs you eve seen in your entire lifes no joke.
