More thoughts on Garry's Mod

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I been wanting to do a follow up entry on Garry's Mod. I already reviewed the game back in 2020. Don't worry I'll make sure to link that review down below. More recently I had an YouTuber named Broken Controller Club react to three of my favorite games. Of course, I had to throw out Garry's Mod among them.

Here's a link to my Garry's Mod review

Here's a link to that YouTube video and thanks again to Broken Controller Club

Just in case anyone was wondering I also selected Cultic and Saints Row IV.

On and off, I really wanted to add more of my thoughts on Garry's Mod. Let's be honest, a lot been more possible in that game since my review. If you wanna consider this as a follow up review you could. This is more of me expressing my huge passion for the game. Still among the most creative video games I ever played!!!

I found out about some rather ambitious mods you can get. There's a mod capable of fully recreating video game maps. We are talking some Grand Theft Auto game maps. There's a famous video showcasing GTA: San Andreas map in Garry's Mod. I recalled that quickly blew my mind!!! There's an even crazier scale mod to potentially recreate an universe.

I am not an expert in any categories regarding space neither the universe. I just know an universe is ridiculously massive in size. You got a lot of planets with a ridiculous amount of stars. Somehow a modder pulled this off is truly impressive stuff. There's an insane amount of character mods. I don't even think the game has a real limit how many you could have installed either.

I do gotta point out some mods won't work unless you have a few other mods. Some of the truly ambitious, bigger scale mods might require a better computer to more properly run em. Stuff like this is only the beginning what could possibly follow afterwards. Just imagine the day, someone found a way to recreate the multiverse within an video game.

For those that doesn't know what an multiverse is. Imagine a lot of universes but each one simply parallel to the universe you're from. All of them part of a lineup within an multiverse. Yes the concept can go even crazier with omniverse. Which is essentially that except it's all multiverses instead. I highly doubt that's possible even in Garry's Mod and I dare the craziest modders to attempt this!!!

You could have enough weapons equipped. To the point you keep pressing down to surprisingly find more weapons. Which I never seen outside of Garry's Mod. You easily could have enough weapons to be an one man army more so than John Rambo!!! Some mods slightly or notably improve several aspects. Including some of the features you could use in the game.

Now some of these are quite impressive. Some of them are just mind blowing they suddenly made Garry's Mod way better!!! In nearly every possible aspect you could mod. Garry's Mod is easily among the most moddable video games I ever experienced in my entire life!!! Even smaller stuff like walking can easily become the stuff of legends!!!

Garry's Mod has a huge community. A lot of locations from pop culture to shows been fully recreated. One of my personal favorite levels someone made was based on Courage the Cowardly Dog. I previously stated that to be my favorite Cartoon Network show. They also a few months ago in an update.

Added more stuff to your default selection among the characters you could use. Pulled from Half-Life 2 Episode 1 and 2 respectively. You could spam a lot of characters at a fast rate. If they aren't moving, it won't affect things much. If they are going to move like you chosen enemies to spawn. At a point you may experience a little to an insane amount of lag.

Lag could cause situations to suddenly become worst in this game. Garry's Mod also has an option before you get started. You can activate invincible which is great for truly insane mods. Any decent nuclear weapon mods being a great example. A decent nuke mod can instantly kill every enemy on the map!!!

Occasionally you'll find poorly programmed mods. Some of those surprisingly works while others not at all. Majority of the mods is very decent from what I experienced. If you could find the best of them though. Just an handful of those you'll be playing Garry's Mod for a long time. We're talking about a game all about creativity after all.

A lot of your fantasies could be recreated. I didn't say they were all good ones either lol. So many franchises recreated in Garry's Mod. I probably have such a long list to showcase them all. This list would've easily made this blog entry a lot longer by itself I'm not kidding. This is a very popular Steam game I deeply enjoyed.

It's also great if you wanna get some rage out. Personally, I find some sick weapon mods. A lot of times it's directly pulled from classic FPS games. At times, I try to be a bit more creative with my selection. Just to spice things up for the upcoming madness sections. What's even crazier is just like the first two Doom game mods.

People actually were creative enough to recreate several game play styles in this as well. If you plan on doing multiplayer sections you'll need to cut back a lot on mods. There's a lot of people creating multiplayer modes for this!!! One of my favorite mods that's a little difficult to find. There's a particular weapon crate mod that quickly gives ammo for any selected weapon at a faster rate.

You can quickly refill to max ammo being 9,999 for every weapon with ammo. A couple months ago, I seen Dino Crisis 2 with increasing ammo capability for an shotgun with that much ammo!!! Also that includes every firearm in the same game. Just to confirm it's not often I seen guns with that much ammo in video games.

G-Man is perfect to test out weapons on. A lot of weapons, he just stands there to take the punishment. It's actually possible to fully run out of ammo doing this to him. What's hilarious about this is there exists weapon mods that can quickly or instantly kill him. G-Man either immune to some weapons or has an insane amount of health.

Considering the unique nature of Half-Life. Garry's Mod was originally an Half-Life 2 mod. I wouldn't be surprise if it was possibly both in this case. So you know when weapon mods are great. If G-Man gets downed by them. Thousands of enemies quickly fall in record time to those weapon mods. Garry's Mod was never about balance.

This is the most ridiculous video game for $9.99 I ever purchased!!! Just when you thought stuff like Decision Legacy Collection being ridiculous for that price. Clearly they never played Garry's Mod before lol. This is essentially the purest form of fan service imaginable. Sure it's not official by any means. At one point, Nintendo requested mods based on their franchises to be removed.

I will confessed I seen a lot of those Nintendo theme mods still in Steam workshop. Garry's Mod going from such a small Half-Life 2 mod to such a mind blowing video game. Last recorded sale numbers were around twenty five million five hundred dollars!!! This is still among the most popular Steam games in existence!!!

So many YouTubers made videos from this game. I'm still happy they kept updating the game. The community itself is exactly why Garry's Mod being such a great video game in the first place. A lot of them further pushed the boundaries what could be done in Garry's Mod. The possibilities are truly endless with this game.

Garry's Mod is much more than a game. It's more of an unique fun experiment at it's core. Some people just crazier than others to go a lot further with their concepts. Which perfectly describes the majority of the mods supported for this game. I really highly recommend anyone to play this game. People just can't even begin to understand exactly what they're truly missing out with this!!!

Killing Time follow up blog

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, today I got more to discuss with Killing Time. As in the unique Doom clone style FPS game. This isn't necessary me rereviewing either version again. This is more of me celebrating before one year anniversary of Killing Time: Resurrected. I already played through between both versions I own three times this month.

Each run was notably different from each other. The first run was in Killing Time: Resurrected. I played through the game on Duncan mode. I confessed it was done on Easy difficulty. This version gets Duncan to constantly come after you almost the entire game. Some people might like this version more. Sometimes you never know where he'll show up.

Yes he does teleport to a degree. He will keep coming back after he's death. I notice the 3DO version takes longer overall in that regard. It can get annoying like you just wanna go up or down stairs. Well any tight space locations you can't get around him. I would say it was a little more challenge that adds a bit more.

To the overall length of the run. Now you can't rush through without Duncan putting you into a rough situation. Considering this is one gigantic map you're exploring. You can bet a lot can happen. The second run was just me replaying the original PC version. I mostly chosen to replay it to compare to the Resurrected version.

I can confirm a lot of sections are identical. Mostly getting to each section remains the same. But majority of them were notably changed in Resurrected version. I still felt this version of Killing Time easily the best within Retro Shooter Rampage Bundle. Sure in a sense it made me wanna play Resurrected version more.

At the same time, I still had some enjoyment playing this version as well. Even with some annoying flaws it has. Such as poor jumping which is required to go and from the light house. It still was a nice revisit of the game I had. Again this was done on Easy I am not sure I had the patience to do Medium. Speaking of that, I ended up going back to Killing Time: Resurrected.

This time I played through again on Medium. I also switched off 3DO version of enemies. I did notice some changes between the enemies. Maids and Clowns has to get even closer to attack you. Any enemy either firing projectiles or wielding guns was more accurate. You don't wanna get surrounded by those enemies.

I also notice regarding the difficulty, enemies takes more ammo to put down. This also affected my weapon animations. During the run it's virtually the same as the original PC version animations. Which was very cool they pulled that off. This felt like a good hybrid version. The map is still Resurrected version to clarify.

Everything wise going back to retro. It was just truly amazing Nightdive pulled that off so well. Of course, you got to deal with the ghosts. The ones that talks explaining aspects of the story differ notably in quality. Some looks a little better or worse than others. I do mostly prefer the 3DO version of enemies.

I also do prefer the newer animation recreating the 3DO version more. Not to mention, the weapon sound effects was more to my likening. All of this before October 17th is insanity. Honestly, Nightdive helped made me a fan of this game!!! Indirectly there was seeing what was going to be Sega Saturn version case in a game store a long time.

For a long time, I had a lot of interest to play that game. Which is quite rare for me even right now. I knew there was something about this game I had to play it. I am well aware both these versions are vastly different from the 3DO version. Which may never fully get rerelease. A large amount of it's content still presented in Resurrected version.

Three full runs across two versions of the same game. You can tell I'm already excited for Halloween!!! Killing Time is among my choices to play close to or on the holiday. Just not among my main choices though. I felt this game deserves more respect than it gets. Honestly, I'm just thankful that curiosity led to all of this.

Killing Time is an unique experience. I later found out a couple months ago. The original PC version actually was made from a particular version of Doom. Atari Jaguar version while using Build editor to make sections of the map. Which were transformed into the proper format that could've work on classic Doom engine.

In fact, one of it's developers worked on the famous 3DO version of Doom. I know what an connection right? Build editor is essentially a level editing program for games like Duke Nukem 3D. People with a lot of patience could make levels free. Now adding in another program to transform the format of that data into WADs essentially is mind blowing.

I'm not expert how to properly explain how complex this process is. All I do know is this clearly took a lot of time to achieve. I previously wondered why either version of Killing Time felt more like Doom than expected. Keep in mind, there is digital actors. Now I'm not sure how they gotten those unique cutscenes style to work like this.

Killing Time is much more than a Doom clone. It's more about the actual story. Majority of the enemies does get explained. If you are willing to listen to these cutscenes. This has a more Egyptian mythology to the Doom formula. Unlike most of them, this was one massive map broken up into multiple sections.

It's rather impressive this game has so many enemies!!! Plenty of secrets you may not realize was there. There's something truly special about this game Nightdive saw it too. Again I was quite hyped leading up to Resurrected version's release. This game was a surprise master piece. Like Hexen, Killing Time does enough to differ itself from Doom.

Of course, some people gets into mysteries. You get to explore an entire island as well as the Conway estate. Which is way more than what the 3DO version does. Originally it sorta plays more like Wolfenstein 3D funny enough. No one truly knows why the original PC version ended up being a vastly different version.

It's more known than another "remastered" version before Resurrected version. Yeah it was exclusive to Zoom, another DRM-Free PC gaming service. Just going off what I do know about this now lost version. You could swap between 3DO and PC soundtracks. This was meant to make the PC version a bit more playable.

Supposedly something not right happened behind scenes. No one knows what truly happened. You no longer can buy this version anymore. I never bought from Zoom altogether. I am assuming this "remastered" version wasn't good enough or wasn't as described. The later being some false information in an attempt to get people to buy.

In order to rip them off at least this could've been the situation or it stopped working who really knows. Assuming this version differs enough there's four versions of Killing Time. Keep in mind, I only played two of them myself. Obviously, Resurrected version is the true definitive Killing Time experience.

You are essentially getting the perfect composite version imaginable. Some truly nice bonus content to look at. They redesigned enough of the map to make it much easier to memorize. The challenge is more forgiving unless you're playing the hardest difficulty. Nightdive truly delivered in properly bringing this classic back from the grave.

Also as a reminder, last year they also remastered Doom & Doom II!!! Yes I still stand by my Games of 2024 ranking. I still think Killing Time: Resurrected to me is better than Doom & Doom II. I know a lot of people going to disagree that's fine. I deeply love as well as respect both remastered FPS games with a huge passion.

I figured I just get it all out. Killing Time is a game the world wasn't ready for. Until Resurrected version happened last year. In terms of being an metroidvania Doom style FPS game. There's not many FPS games I can directly compare it to. Maybe I love the Clowns and Skeletons too lol. Honestly, I have no real major issue with Resurrected version at all.

I still felt my favorite enemy remains to be the Chefs. Especially the 3DO version just works amazingly well. The one thing the PC version does I like a bit more is by saying this voice over line. "Come here!!!" you know what's waiting for you won't be pleasant. I actually like both versions of the Chefs a lot.

The closest issue being when you use no clip code. Parts of the map doesn't properly load up at times. Then again this was an ambitious FPS shooter for it's time. I guess that's to be expected though. Other than that, they truly knocked it out the park with this version. Killing Time is among my favorite Doom clones I ever played!!!

My biggest G4 rant

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, a lot of people may remember G4 as in an TV channel you watch on cable years ago. G4 actually had two major runs that both ended. I could easily add salt to changing the direction of the channel. Altering Filter as in the show that used to be all about ranking video games by votes.

Suddenly Filter started being more about pop culture stuff. Representing then newer direction of the channel. The newer G4 run also had the Completionist, a famous now controversial YouTuber. He gotten caught scamming people long story. Despite all of this, there's something that deeply gotten under my skin.

Something I always wanted to get off my chest for years. When a particular show you used to look forward to watching on TV. I still haven't seen anything like it since then. This was before achievements & trophies were a thing in gaming too. I used to be a huge fan of the show called Cheat! Not to be confused with another show called Cheaters that had reruns on the same channel.

Vastly different concept, Cheaters was exposing people cheating on their boyfriends/girlfriends. Cheat! was more about something I recalled loving growing up. Back when many video games had cheat codes. Some of which actually made em more fun to play. You sorta gotta look for em in newer games now sadly. Honestly, it's better I start from the beginning.

Cheat! used to be sponsored by Pringles yes as in the famous potato chip company. The original host was Cory Rouse that really made it an fun show to watch. You can tell he absolutely love this job. I don't recall any bad episodes with him either. There's some cool themes Rouse done they never done again. One episode was filmed at a paint ball location.

I previously taken my oldest nephew to a paint ball location. Sure it can get dangerous but still a lot of fun. At one point, he was driving an go-kart. Most G4 fans heavily remembers this version of the show. I'm personally calling it the golden Cheat! era. Later into this version's run became known as Cheat, Pringles Gamers' Guides.

Following the merger of a few channels. Cheat went back to it's original name. Following a dispute with Pringles not much is known about it. Eventually Rouse left the show following a particular October episode. I think he knew the direction the channel going in wasn't for him. Keep in mind, we still haven't gotten to what greatly disappointed as well as piss me off yet.

Obviously they had to replace Rouse with a new host. Kristen Holts now following her marriage, Kristen Adams. The result was notably mixed by the audience. Some of them including myself felt she didn't properly fill Rouse's shoes. The other half welcomed it simply because she was a beautiful woman.

Not trying to come off sexist either. She wasn't a gamer neither was Adam Sessler. Despite Sessler was a host on X-Play for many years. Later on, Adams continued the format through X-Play. Yeah what used to be it's own show gotten reduced to being part of another show. Adams never took the concept to exciting directions like Rouse previously had.

Rouse brought in real passion as well as creativity to the show. You can tell Adams was simply told what to do that's it. Sure you could blame the shift from using cheat codes to playing without em. In order to earn achievements/trophies being a notable factor in it's decline. Then again, Rouse could've kept the show fun to watch had he stayed.

I always been mixed towards Adams for a long time. She played a huge part in ruining Cheat!'s legacy. A better host would've prevented it becoming part of another show. Then again, this era of G4 already lost it's identity. They started airing non video game stuff daily. People wondered why the channel died out the way it did?

Cheat! was a show that made cheating in games fun. More recently, it brought back memories for older games. This version of the show still meant a lot to people. After Rouse left, the show never truly recovered. I even felt the editing in Rouse's episodes was way better. Not many episodes Adams done going to held up well overtime.

To me, this insane decline for a classic video game show was mind blowing. It went from being one of their finest to "What's that?" Even the MTV 2 version of Celebrity Deathmatch was better than this!!! Rouse was essential to the show surviving the merger. I don't wanna say Adams lacks talent. She previously was on American Idol years ago.

Obviously she should've went for a more musical job than this. You can tell she just didn't work at all. Again they only used her to keep men interested. Such a cheap tactic to use indeed. To be brutally honest, she wasn't that hot to me even back then. It's just sad such an iconic G4 show fell this hard!!! Possibly the worst in history of the entire channel for that matter.

Cheat! brought in a rather unique perceptive to using cheat codes. Not only that, Rouse spicing things up kept things interesting. Pringles or not, he was a major factor in that show's success. You can tell G4 didn't do their research what made Cheat! such a hit with people. Sadly if G4 kept going, Cheat! still would've gotten canned.

Either run of G4 had major issues. I'm glad Cheat! wasn't involved with the newer G4 run. Rouse was ideally the perfect host for the show. Honestly, they should've canceled Cheat! after he left. In that regard, I would've never felt the way I do following Adams hosted the show. Let's put it this way, Drew Carey had major shoes to fill to replace Bob Barker on The Price is Right show.

Carey been a worthy successor to that legacy. In comparison, Adams never came close to Rouse's greatness!!! I think another major reason why Rouse worked better. The way he interacts with the audience. It comes off like he's one of your greatest gamer friends. He wants to make sure you're having fun.

I never once felt that with Adams at all. In fact, I felt she was just doing it to get paid that's it. You can even tell at times how bored she is. I also heavily disliked the look of the show started with her hosting either. I prefer the classic Pringles tie in appearance. To me, it just felt like they had to quickly put something together.

It just didn't look like the same love neither care went into that whatsoever. I know it's been many years since Cheat! quickly discontinued while X-Play went on much longer. X-Play was among G4's longest shows. It felt like to "save Cheat!" they had to make it an session in that. Let's be honest, that further sink everything!!!

Adams had much lesser time to get things ready for those sessions. They started distancing the sessions on that show. You knew something wasn't right!!! Such a disgrace to that legacy Rouse started. I always been this passionate towards the original Cheat! series with Rouse. You just can't recreate such content anymore.

I always heavily disliked the newer version with Adams. Obviously a lot of factors led to it's demise. The beginning was when Rouse left the show. I'm sure Rouse went on to great things following the show. Honestly, I'm so mixed regarding this. I don't even think this going to be enough. For fellow Cheat! fans that felt exactly how I do.

Then you already know nothing was remotely as disappointing on the channel than this!!! Filter didn't last long when it became more pop culture. I know some might consider that a bigger offense. At the same time, even that version of the show kept people voting involved. Let's be more honest, neither were actually those shows anymore!!!

Filter was becoming more anything pop culture slowly moving away ranking things. Cheat! was becoming more of an after thought with Adams. It just never was the same ever again. It's truly disheartening G4 allowed such a downfall to happen. I'm glad G4 gone once again. If you could find any Rouse episodes I highly recommend check em out.

Death Battle Fight Prediction: Freddy Krueger (A Nightmare on Elm Street) vs Pennywise (It)

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I been considering remaking several Death Battle predictions into blog forms. Among those I kept coming back to a perfect one for an future Halloween Death Battle episode. I previously voted for this. I strongly felt they could do a lot with such an unique concept.

Freddy Krueger whose an vengeful spirit that stalks teenagers for the most part. He'll be taking on an entity calling itself Pennywise. Both are experts at exploit people's fears. It's safe to say we're putting two god like beings against each other. Although I already know whose going to win this fight.

Verdict

Pennywise

There's several major factors to consider here. To some degree, these two monsters can warp reality. However Freddy does that in the dream world. Unless a particular crossover comic version that fused with the Necronomicon. The famous book of the dead from Evil Dead franchise.

Where he gets majority of his powers in the real world. Even going with this version of the character. He possibly could scale to being universal at best. Which isn't bad but really pales in comparison to Pennywise. Who existed before an multiverse going with the book canon version.

This by itself presents many critical advantages Pennywise has. Such as he existed before an multiverse time may not matter. But he did go to a particular universe billions of years ago. This really trumps Freddy hard in the experience category. Considering both are experts at exploiting fear within their victims.

A major factor is both can ready their victim's minds to achieve this. Which bags the question who could exploit this first? Unfortunately Pennywise existing before an multiverse means his mind way too complex. Not to mention with his insanely long life span.

Freddy would need a lot more time to do this. Assuming he could actually attack Pennywise's mind. On two occasions, Freddy's mind gotten attacked before. Such as when Alice who was pregnant at the time used. Her unborn child's dream to surprise attack Freddy.

The following movie, Freddy's Dead his own daughter entered his mind by force. Another huge factor is fear itself. Confirmed in Freddy vs. Jason by Freddy himself. He requires enough fear to harm possibly kill people. However Pennywise already has the perfect counter to this.

For several billions of years, he's been manipulating people. He easily could get an entire town forget about Freddy with ease. This would greatly weakened Freddy in the process. Freddy also loses majority of his powers in the real world. People forget through loop holes, Freddy can enter the real world.

Usually by possessing people or at one point his own bones. It's also unclear how many powers Freddy has in the real world. Regardless which method gotten him there. In vice versa, Pennywise obviously the more insanely powerful being. He exists in a way that's similar to several DC's Gods like Darkseid.

Pennywise uses an avatar in that universe. For a long time, he used to hunt full grown humans. It's unclear when he started directly stalking children. Freddy goes after teens while Pennywise goes for even younger children is kinda mess up!!! Some stuff happened that led to Freddy becoming an monster.

Pennywise always was pure evil from the very beginning. Pennywise is an ancient entity after all. This also would limit how Freddy could win. For Freddy to win, he needs to kill the actual entity. The Losers Club thought they killed Pennywise off for good.

The character in this case another avatar of the entity shown up in another universe. Which means if you kill his avatars, the entity still lives!!! Even giving Freddy that book wouldn't help at all. Pennywise could get around Freddy's immortality to end him for good.

This is through using his dead lights. Which does represent Pennywise's true form. A statement about that form is either among seeing it. Possibly could cause insanity or their minds can't accept it at all. It's a tricky situation to attempt explaining. Essentially your mind can't properly imagine that form.

The rest of your body simply doesn't register this. It's exactly why some people float among seeing that form. Plus that's Pennywise causing em to do so. It's safe to assume Pennywise could exploit the solo dream kill method as well. In A Nightmare on Elm Street 4, Alice says parts of a song.

Which caused every soul within Freddy to fight back. Ultimately leading to his demise in that movie. In comparison, Freddy couldn't properly recreate the Losers Club's final win method. More or so that particular winning method was exclusive to them.

Yes I know what some Freddy fans going to say? "Of course Freddy could recreate that!!!" Yes it could but effectively it wouldn't do much to him at all. Simply because Freddy never met em. He likely couldn't attack Pennywise's mind. Therefore he couldn't properly recreate any of them.

Even if he did know what they look like. Again it had to actually be them for that to win. Now how Alice beaten Freddy the first time could've been done by others. Let's be honest, Pennywise easily cause a stalemate in the dream world. Actual proof being before he discovered water scares Jason.

Virtually nothing he was doing stopping him. If Freddy couldn't stop Jason prior to that. Then what chance does he have against Pennywise? Virtually none that's what Pennywise could easily warp the real world. Which would've easily countered Freddy with that book factor.

Sure Freddy could do some truly ridiculous things. Again, Pennywise is too insanely broken of a character for any of that to matter. Basically Freddy has major flaws Pennywise can easily exploit. In comparison, there really isn't much Freddy could work with.

Freddy would be lucky Pennywise doesn't go right for the kill. Even considering the dream world, Freddy could only delay the inevitable for so long!!! Freddy has no solid kill method to the actual entity. Even if he did, Pennywise too insanely powerful anyway.

Pennywise easily has all the major advantages in this fight. Sure this could be seen as a massive stomp. I still think there's other factors that make this such an amazing Halloween Death Battle episode. I'm still quite happy I voted for this. In all honestly, the actual mind blowing conclusion fitting for the show.

Winner

Pennywise (It)

The Toxic Avenger (2025 version)

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I finally got to see the new Toxie movie. Don't worry this won't be an negative review. Quite the opposite in fact I'm very happy with the movie. I do see a new beginning to such a mess up superhero franchise. Lloyd Kaufman passed the torch to the director of this movie. I can promise you this is very true to the source material.

The Toxic Avenger (2025 version)

The movie centers on a dying dad. All chips were down things kept getting worst. He's been trying to take care of his son. I love the entire direction of the story. I'm even into Winston before he mutated into the Toxic Avenger. The classic version, Melvin wasn't nearly as believable of a character. This is among the bloodiest Toxie movies to date.

I also gotta point out two of the actors in the movie. Taylour Paige and Kevin Bacon also starred together in similar roles for Beverley Hills Cop: Axel F. Funny enough if this had came out it's original release date. The Toxic Avenger would've been out first. Instead this came out a little over an year after Axel F respectively.

The director was a huge Troma fan. He even gotten Lloyd Kaufman very sold on this Toxie movie. Yes Kaufman does cameo late into the film. I felt this version of Toxie is very relatable. Before he's gotten mutated, he was like everyone else. Simply allowing bad people taking advantage of others. He does get briefly killed off such a risky move.

This twist how he gotten mutated into the Toxic Avenger. Possibly could've been an reference to some variations of  DC's The Joker's origins. He simply gotten reborn to become the very hero this town needed. It sorta plays heavily on the underdog concept. When everyone else already given up. Out of no where came this mutated hero to save everyone.

I was quite impressed how well done everything truly was. Being a higher budget version of a low budget cult classic. I'm surprised the higher budget never took away from that. Of course, you do get the occasionally cursing at times. This was a very top the top superhero movie. The story was more serious than expected.

At the same time, it was borderline perfection in recreating the classic Troma style. Somehow the director properly modernize the concept. To be quite honest, some of the characters were more rememberable than expected. This one company is slowly killing off it's own population. Now that easily could've been inspired by some villains from Captain Planet and the Planeteers cartoon show.

Speaking of that, Toxie sorta reminds me of Duke Nukem. Not the famous video game character!!! As in Captain Planet villain of the same name. I love how both people portraying the character so well. I watched the unrated version not for kids!!! There's plenty of surprises as you continue watching the movie.

If you're a Troma fan you may notice some references to their movies. This easily had the best story in a Toxie movie by far. Not to insult some of my favorite Toxie movies. Toxie quickly steals the show you know you absolutely nailed it!!! I also loved the mop plays into his character as well. Even before he's gotten mutated.

Of course, Kevin Bacon plays a truly despicable villain this time around. I love watching Bacon play the villain roles. Yes this was similar to his role in Axel F. But at the same time, it was much crazier!!! Parts of this reminded me of The Mask coughs the good one!!! You know the famous Jim Carrey movie!!!

I apologize for anyone that might've realized a twist I spoiled indirectly. I also loved how Toxie quickly winning the people over. This one guy so happened to be at several locations he once saved. He was among a few people in a restaurant. When a group of gunmen held hostages in there. This was heavily shown in most of the trailers.

In terms of what Toxie stands it's done just right. Yes you can expect some wow they allowed that. Obviously for unrated versions of movies. There's nothing preventing stuff not allowed compared to heavy censoring within rated versions. I highly respect the director went the edgier, unrated route. This further allowed him to make this more faithful to the source material.

Troma isn't for everyone either. They made such mess up possibly disgusting low budget movies. Toxie was the perfect mascot for their brand. I also loved Toxie deeply cares for his son. It's quite touching at times I welcome these scenes in the movie. I won't spoil the ending but there's some possible unfinished business.

Which may or may not tie into a possible follow up movie. Not only that, I do think this director would love to make another Toxie movie. I'm fully on board if it happens. This is exactly how to bring it back!!! Considering all the major obstacles this film had. It's truly amazing this movie does not suck!!! So many films aren't so lucky yes I'm looking at you The Crow (2024 version)!!!

I felt the overall direction just works perfectly. Toxie is a truly believable character this time around. You can tell the people deeply appreciate what he's doing for them. The world changed with one person's mutation. Sure you could say Toxie ripped off Marvel's Hulk with that. He does plenty of things differently to not be an actual rip off of the character either.

For starters, Toxie is more likely going to hear you out on things. If you're a bad guy let's just say. You'll be lucky you don't get killed. This felt like a newer version of such an franchise. Yet done in a way that's very refreshing. A brand new take on the concept. I would say easily my new current favorite Toxie movie.

Yes more so than The Toxic Avenger Part II honestly. This felt like proper fan service!!! We waited so long for another Toxie movie. This really made such a long wait felt worth it!!! I am very impressed how incredibly well this Toxie movie was done. For those willing to give it a chance. I could recommend this to those people I personally loved it!!!

My thoughts on Blood: Refreshed Supply

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I remembered once going over an friend's house. Among the first DOS games he's shown me was Blood. I previously talked a good deal about this game in the past. Later this year is another remastered version. I actually got a lot to say about this.

The announcement trailer alone was done amazingly well. Then again Nightdive usually does great trailers for their remastered games. I can tell just by the game play it's going to be better quality. I never seen Blood play this great before!!! Not only we're getting all the episodes including both expansions.

They also adding in two mod campaigns. Both broken up into a few episodes. Essentially each episode being their own related campaigns. I may never confirmed that before it just kept slipping my mind. Marrow with Episode 2 currently in development.

Death Wish with three episodes with a fourth on the way. By default we're getting twelve campaigns worth of madness!!! I'm actually happy these mod campaigns gotten in. They also including mod support like some of their newer remasters. What blew my mind is this newer version coming to consoles.

Blood never been on consoles before. The same also could be said for Heretic. Which finally happened through Heretic + Hexen. Such an amazing remaster that was. Blood is like Duke 3D but more horror movie inspired fantasy direction. Imagine Doom but somehow darker that's Blood in a nut shell.

I always was a huge fan of the soundtrack. I know one of these mod campaigns has their own soundtracks as well. This being redone on a newer version of KEX Engine. The same version for their newer remastered games. I can't wait to play co-op in this version of Blood soon.

This should be set up similar to some of those. Honestly, this had more going for it than Gears of War: Reloaded. There's several major differences right off the bat. Also people been demanding for it to get on consoles. Let's be honest, it was truly mind blow it took this long to make that happen.

Blood was a truly amazing FPS game. You had such rememberable animations. Such a good lineup of enemies you're facing. Plenty of great weapons to use during game play. A lot of great levels you wanna keep on replaying. To me, Blood was the greatest FPS game on Build engine.

I know some would've said Duke Nukem 3D. Sure that's among the best of them without question. Personally I prefer Blood's expansions more. Somehow I liked Caleb more than Duke Nukem. Blood is easily among my favorite Doom clones. It does enough to differ itself from that series.

I would love to get this newer version of Blood this year. I would drop everything gaming wise to play it. This also may renew interest for Blood 2: The Chosen to get the same treatment. More directly games like this needed to come back. Blood is a game I'm surprise not many people played.

This game going to explode harder than ever before this year. Nightdive renewing interest for many classics to begin with. I didn't think Blood would get a second remastered version. Supposedly it had something to do with Atari. Regardless, I'm thankful they're giving Blood another shot.

This version going to truly pack in the content. I wanna see the additional content you can look up. It might not be as interesting as Killing Time: Resurrected. In that department, it still be worth taking a look. I do think the world finally ready for this!!!

They are truly going the distance with Blood this time. If this is like how Doom 1 & 2 kept getting better, newer versions. This should follow suit as well. Blood quickly become a favorite to a lot of people following this release. If I can't get the game this year.

I'll still try to get more people interested in giving the game a try. At least that's also directly supporting Nightdive's efforts. I do see a huge point to revisit Blood once again. It was originally among their first remasters. Before a lot of cool stuff since then gotten added in other remastered games.

I strongly felt Blood deserves the same treatment as those. It's a great FPS game that's been under the radar for far too long!!! Blood about to change the world!!! Just looking at some of their remasters. I guess I should've seen this coming. I personally wanna thank Nightdive for doing Blood again.

It truly meant a lot to me. I'm already happy with some of their remasters. If I had to confirm my top favorites from what I played. Quake II, Killing Time: Resurrected, Doom + Doom II and Heretic + Hexen respectively. All of those were truly fantastic remastered versions.

Now knowing this version of Blood going to be similar to those. My hype for this newer version of Blood went through the roof!!! They are going to make this a version no one ever going to forget in a good way. Blood is truly the stuff of legends for those that never played it before.

My thoughts on Golden Joystick Awards 2025 (Most Wanted Game award)

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I was on a friend's discord server. I'm one of the moderators on the server. He mentions Golden Joystick Awards 2025. I decided to take a look at that while voting. Honestly I don't have much to say about majority of the nominations for the awards.

There is one particular award that caught my attention. I been noticing more big game award shows do this award recently. They give out an award for the most wanted game. We are talking heavily hyped up games not even out yet. They sure nominated a lot of games for this one award!!!

First I'll reveal all the nominees I didn't vote for. To clarify they allowed you to choose up to three games for this one award. A few awards also allowed this as well. Which made me happier because my actual choices speaks for themselves. Of course I'll explain in full detail why I'm so hyped for them.

Hell Let Loose: Vietnam

Marvel's Wolverine (almost gotten chosen)

Exodus

Kingdom Hearts 4

Crimson Desert

Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy

The Expanse: Osiris Reborn

Light No Fire

Onimusha: Way of the Sword

Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet

The Blood of Dawnwalker

SAROS

The Witcher 4

OD - KNOCK

Grand Theft Auto VI

Subnautica 2

Black Myth: Zhong Kui

Before I reveal my three choices. They also allowed you to rank em from 3 to 1. Honestly a lot of these games I never heard of before. An handful I previously knew about simply not interested. Onimusha: Way of the Sword was notably higher for consideration.

Marvel's Wolverine was a game I recalled gotten announced a couple years ago. The same team as Marvel's Spider-Man series. As in the popular Spider-Man games that's on a few platforms right now. They're considered Marvel's answer to DC's Batman: Arkham series.

I quickly knew after checking every nominees. Two of them I instantly chosen on the spot. Marvel's Wolverine just loss out to the first of three games I'll quickly discuss here. Eventually I would love to play all three of these games I selected. Let's say my selection a bit more strangely interesting.

007 First Level

I previously heard the Hitman team going to make an actual James Bond game. I don't recall the last time I truly was hype for an Bond game. I grew up playing a lot of GoldenEye on Nintendo 64 myself. I did play a couple Bond games over the years.

I do have some exposure to Hitman series. I actually own the entire original Hitman series on GOG. I did play parts of the most recent entry. Which is three Hitman games combined into one amazing stealth action game. Right away this was a rather interesting decision.

Hitman series is widely known for playing an hitman to assassinate people. It doesn't even matter how well guard you think you are. This guy is so good, you'll be dead before you know it. He would be the John Wick of video games before Wick even existed.

Agent 47 also is an expert in putting on disguises as well as manipulating people. In fact, I felt this might've been the perfect team to take on the license. Hitman games are surprisingly creative in how you could complete some objectives. There's a bit of realism in things that makes you feel like you're actually him.

Yes my standards for an Bond game is quite high because of GoldenEye. I do believe this team could potentially rival such a classic. I do respect they are making this version of Bond their own. A lot of Bond games plays heavily on well playing it safe.

Considering it's a third person shooter. Right now it's directly competing with Everything or Nothing. I had that along with From Russia with Love as in the video game. I did see how well Bond could work in third person shooter style. Bond isn't that different from Agent 47 either.

I wouldn't say they're the same character. They just done a lot of similar stuff in many situations. I wouldn't be surprised they directly reference Hitman series. Just going by the game play trailer it's going to be amazing!!! Let's hope the team gets allowed to go the full distance with their Bond concept.

Especially considering how well Hitman: World of Assassination done. They even put Le Chiffre from Casino Royale in a mission that game. I do think they are going to go even bigger with this!!! Why the hell wouldn't you want to? It's the legendary MI6 agent, James Bond!!!

Assuming they do these limited time missions. You would be surprise some of the celebrities they gotten for these!!! Such legends as Gary Busey, Sean Bean and Jean-Claude van Damme!!! They even done a parody Christmas mission you assassinate the Wet Bandits from Home Alone series.

They possibly could do this with Bond as well. James Bond being such an iconic franchise. I wouldn't even be surprise more legendary celebrities gets involved. There's so much potential for this to possibly be. Easily among the greatest Bond games ever!!!

Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight

I know I previously discussed this Lego Batman game. Thankfully I got a bit more stuff to add. They confirmed they are recreating iconic moments from within the entire Batman franchise. We're talking comics, movies, shows and games respectively.

This is meant to be a huge love letter to Batman fans. I know some are worried they limited the roster down a lot. At the same time, they might've put more depth in. Which means each character will be capable doing much more. Let's be honest, we already know a lot of DLCs on the way.

The fact they are going this ambitious of a licensed Batman game concept. This means nearly everything Batman possibly on the table. This by itself gotten me quite hype for the game. Not only that, Lego games I played takes a couple hours to finish.

Adding in DLC levels going to truly spice things up. I'm not even sure how the story would go? There's also the possibility of we just get levels pulled from the multiverse. Which would be a major head ache of a concept to pull off. This also would mean there isn't a major story line either.

I know assumption of the story or lack of is a bit interesting of a discussion. Warner Brothers isn't doing well right now. They must've been this desperate to save themselves. By allowing another Lego Batman game to happen. A rather creative one at that.

I did see some of the actual game play. They heavily inspired by Batman: Arkham series. I'm glad they kept it an open world action adventure game. This by itself going to pack in hours worth of game play. This almost felt like a major anniversary for the franchise.

I believe this could potentially if it's a huge success. Pack in enough content to be equal to all the previous Lego DC games. Mostly Lego Batman trilogy combined. Sure this may limit what they could and can't do. I do think they are going even bigger than ever before.

This could have more content prior to DLCs than Batman: Arkham Knight with every DLC!!! Which is kinda ridiculous to imagine. At the same time, I do want them going the full distance with this. We're probably getting more alternative versions of characters as well.

If you played any of the Lego Marvel games. We are talking that to a more ridiculous degree. This even could go bigger than Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2 in scale. Assuming like some of the Lego DC games. You get multiple hubs you could explore.

This easily could have more content without DLCs than Batman: Arkham Knight. Which gotten a lot of DLCs for an Batman game. I always been a huge Batman fan for a long time. Fan service should be really through the roof!!! More than enough Batman to keep you busy for a long time

Plus they go even further with that concept. This should be the Lego DC's equal to that. Just think there wasn't many decent Batman games during my childhood. Now some of the best Batman games possibly get referenced. For example they could make a joke towards Telltale's Batman series.

These Batman games lets you choose the direction of the stories. This really would open this Lego Batman game for some great jokes. Just curious how much Batman multiverse we're actually getting here. I really felt this should be the best license Lego game in years or at least among the best of them for sure.

Resident Evil Requiem

Obviously no surprise I had to go with Resident Evil Requiem. I always been so impressed by the series. Even as mixed Resident Evil 6 was, it technically wasn't a bad RE game. Just when we thought we're done with Raccoon City. Damn a new mystery from it's remains shows up.

You actually play as a daughter of an character from Resident Evil Outbreak series. Which is canon to the main RE timeline. The team wanted to go into a different scary direction. This FBI agent will notably display fear to a degree. This could make it among the most realistic RE games ever made.

Realism is a rather funny topic for this franchise though. The graphics are truly outstanding like always. I'm glad we're playing as a new character. A lot of older RE characters kept showing up. No guarantee if any of them shows up again. I just meant to play as someone fully new for once.

It's a huge breath of fresh air. This is coming out early next year. We may discover stuff we wouldn't even knew existed at all. This also could directly tie in to things we didn't expect either. Assumption is a rather fun topic for this particular RE game. It's so unexpected to go back to a city already wiped from the world.

For those that haven't played either Resident Evil 2 or 3: Nemesis. The US Government ordered an nuclear missile to wipe out Raccoon City. I know such an extreme action to do. Now I am thinking what's left of Terragrigia a possibility too? Which gotten melted by a satellite like a giant magnifying glass.

We haven't seen much of the enemies either. The assumption usually a new virus outbreak occurred. Of course, things quickly gets ugly possibly nightmare fuel. I do think if it's a major hit. There's a huge chance it could win a few Game of the Year awards.

Resident Evil Requiem is going to break new ground. Usually when this franchise does that. A major change about to happen for the entire genre as a whole. I am curious to see how this RE game going to play out. I felt they could do a lot with this concept they're going for.

I'm very glad they aren't ripping off Silent Hill. Shadows of Rose in Resident Evil Village came strikingly close to that. I do agree Resident Evil needed a different direction to go in. Honestly they always knock these game out the park. I do believe terror about to get much deeper than it ever had before.

Covering Six more Killer Clown movies

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I finally done a follow up killer clown movie marathon. Again through Tubi just in time for Halloween. I originally planned to do this marathon earlier in the year. I changed the theme to killer scarecrow movies. I also originally planned to cover eight more killer clown movies.

I decided two of them I'll watch at a later date. Don't worry you're still getting majority of them. I watched for the most part right after each other. Yes I had a lot of ads played during all these horror movies. 

Here's a link to the previous covering killer clown movies blog down below...

https://jackred1989.blogspot.com/2024/03/covering-fourteen-killer-clown-movies.html

Some guide lines I had while doing my recent killer clown movie marathon on Tubi as they follow down below...

1. Every killer clown movie must be labeled in category wise as horror

2. The titles must have either the word clown or alternation takes of it

The Clown at Midnight (1999)

The oldest killer clown movie in the lineup. The movie centers on a group of high school students to help restore an old opera house. There's a few decent kills in the movie. I actually felt this was among the better written in this lineup as well. I could consider rewatching it soon honestly.

Fear of Clowns (2004)

I was more familiar with the killer clown character of the movie. Before I finally sat down to watch this. This was an alright killer clown movie. A few decent kills with cutting a cop's head off being my favorite. The movie tries a little too hard to be creepy.

Camp Blood: Clown Shark (2024)

Usually I try to leave out any franchises doing these killer clown marathons. I just had to check out this bizarre entry. It's a killer clown shark movie to a degree. We are talking very cheesy special effects. The movie doesn't make any sense. I seen slightly better shark movies including 5 Headed Shark Attack!!!

Ouija Clown (2023)

I'm not a fan of lost footage movies. Not only that, get used to two girls. Literately the entire movie nearly nonstop. Even the killer ghost clown wasn't that scary. This has to be one of the stupidest killer clown movies I ever seen!!! It has a few things over Tickles the Clown though.

Gingerclown (2013)

I had to check this one out. You have such talented actors as Tim Curry & Brad Dourif. The movie centers on a nerdy guy gets pressured going into an abandoned amusement park. Of course, it's not your typical amusement park either. I will give them credit for Biff's death reveal I loved that!!!

Vampire Clown (2025)

Surprisingly the most recent was actually the best of them. I even felt this belongs in my main killer clown movies lineup. A guy discovers vampires are targeting people around town. One of the vampires so happens to be a clown. Somehow they made this work better than expected.

Conclusion

I would recommend watching The Clown at Midnight, Gingerclown and Vampire Clown respectively. Camp Blood: Clown Shark was a bit more unexpected than Ouija Clown. It may been such a weird concept. I found some stuff a bit more interesting.

Who wanna watch a movie with two girls screaming often? I'll be brutal honest I couldn't even tell if one of them were an teen or not either. Barely anything major happens in that movie. Even I was feeling bored shortly after the clown started to show up.

I am not kidding it was almost as boring as Tickles the Clown to me. There's barely any deaths in the movie either. Considering it's a lost footage movie. You may get sick a bit by all the crazy cam movements. Honestly, a huge waste of time altogether.

This concept could've been done way better. Even Clown Shark with the very cheesy special effects was more entertaining. Now that's just sad when a shark ends up being more fun to watch than a ghost. We will see if I do another killer clown movie marathon or not.

Gingerclown heavily plays off suspense with some mess up moments. The Clown at Midnight has a few surprises you won't see coming. Vampire Clown easily could've failed hard. I was surprised how well they pulled off the concept. A major spoiler, the head vampire was revealed to be the clown.

I will confess I had a hard time liking Vampire Clown's appearance. Near the end of the movie it finally clipped with me. He looks way better than the killer clown in Camp Blood: Clown Shark. Especially the very cheesy CGI special effects shark version.

Fear of Clowns has some inconsistent acting to a degree. The killer clown himself does work amazingly well. I just wish the actual story was a bit more interesting. But I didn't expect it takes place in my home state!!! Yeah an killer clown movie in Maryland is something I never expected.

It was fun once again to randomly select horror movies. Just like going to a Blockbuster or Hollywood Videos to rent movies experience. Some easily gravitated to a kid in an candy store. I may started getting into Halloween a bit too early lol.

Cultic: Interlude and Chapter 2 review

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, it's not often I do an updated review on something. I strongly felt it was necessary for the classic, Cultic. I didn't realize I didn't cover Interlude yet. I recently gotten Chapter 2 myself. I figured why not cover both of them together.

Here's a link to my review on Cultic prior to these newer levels down below...

https://jackred1989.blogspot.com/2022/11/cultic-review.html

Cultic: Interlude (2023)

Before I talk about it I simply love the concept behind it. Many similar style FPS games don't make in between levels. In particular levels that act as a direct means to connect campaigns together. So when I saw this last year I was surprised. Officially it's one huge level packed with stuff.

I don't recommend skipping the first campaign to play this. There's so many enemies with a lot going on. I also recommend try going slow for the most part. You easily can get ambush in this level at many locations. I'm glad this level exists it helped people to wait to play Chapter 2.

I know some felt this one bridging the gap level was a little too big. Honestly it was a clear idea how much more ambitious Chapter 2 going to be. Thankfully you get this level free through an update. After awhile you'll figure stuff out with some taking a little longer than expected.

Honestly, Interlude was a great but risky idea. This easily could've went south. I should mention at the end of the level. This isn't a short level by any means either. There is a boss fight that may challenge you. I loved how everything came together the way it does.

Cultic: Chapter 2 (2024)

I know some people who are familiar with my Cultic review. Probably rather know my thoughts on Chapter 2 right? I waited since 2022 to play this. I knew as soon as I started. This was going to be a vastly different ball game from the first campaign. I was proud to buy this newer campaign.

Everything was a massive step up in comparison. I'm not trying to say the first campaign sucks by any means. If you haven't played Cultic at all. You're really missing out on a truly fantastic FPS game!!! I loved just like the first campaign. We get a good variety of locations to explore.

Some could view this as being heavily inspired by Blood the classic DOS FPS game. This newer campaign felt like a modernize Blood experience. The animations including the newer enemies were amazing. Chapter 2 plays notably more into horror.

I really gotta mention I thought some of the levels in the first campaign were big. Nah these levels were quite massive!!! It's so easily to get lost or confuse what to do. I did like some of the surprises. Like tie in another game the developer has on Steam called The Bonerooms.

Keep in mind, one guy made all of this!!! The soundtrack to Chapter 2 is absolutely amazing!!! This quickly justifies it's price making it a sell when discounted. I actually watched a few YouTubers stream this. This is already among my favorite FPS games ever!!!

Of course, there's a couple boss fights through out the campaign. Easily out doing Episode 5 of Duke Nukem 3D in the newest version. If I was mind blown by the first campaign. I probably no longer have a head at this point. This newer campaign was among my favorite 2025 runs of the year.

I'm even considering making an exception for an December blog entry for this. Chapter 2 is a true master piece. You may die a lot on the way. You often get overwhelmed by the enemies. Especially in very difficult to see spots. This was such an refreshing FPS experience.

Chapter 2 truly delivers in what it sent out to do. You're getting a couple hours long campaign. Some truly amazing artwork through out the levels. None of the levels felt like stuff we done before. The boss fights for the most part stands out.

This is exactly why I love Cultic so much!!! The solo developer put out some truly impressive work here. I started writing this prior to Blood: Refreshed Supply announcement too. All of a sudden, Cultic picked a great year to fully come back.

You also gotta get use to facing several different enemies at once. Majority of them fires weapons at you. But you got an handful that has a few ways to attack you. Other enemies forces themselves at you with such little time to react.

There's times you get a good mix of most enemy types. I also gotta say Train Station level I was mind blown by it. I won't fully spoil why but this is how you make an FPS level for sure. You also could upgrade your weapons to help a bit.

I also gotta say the final boss was the toughest by far. I just love how it starts out. The cult leader speaking before he turns around. Suddenly gets shot in the head to become the final boss. It's best to think of him as this game's Shao Kahn.

Just more about blood than souls in that regard. I will say a huge step up from the first campaign's final boss. This was a rather challenging campaign. But it also was so satisfying to finish after everything. Honestly Cultic: Chapter 2 was worthy for an award in my December blog.

I will confirm I don't wanna hear you're giving something to Cultic. Don't worry it may not be within the lineup of Games I played this year. At the same time, this newer campaign was worthy of such an lineup to get such an honor.

This campaign was worth every penny I spent. I would've paid double that price honestly. Not to give the developer any ideas lol. For it's price we're getting this campaign. Along with an handful of levels for another mode was a great idea.

Futurama review (1999-present)

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, Family Guy started up a weird trend among animated sitcom shows. An handful of them gotten canceled a few times. Somehow they kept coming back with newer seasons. I will be reviewing one of my favorites among those shows.

Futurama

Original run (1999-2003)

Second run (2008-2013)

Current run (2023-present)

Before I even begin discussing the show. I gotta mention the confusing seasons set up. The first five seasons were fine. Seasons 6 and 7 started throwing an huge monkey wrench. These seasons were aired in two sets. Which ended up happening for Disenchantment on Netflix funny enough.

Another animated sitcom show by Matt Groening. This led to which do you consider for how many seasons Futurama has? Let me explain do we go by how many seasons aired on television or do we go by how many actual seasons it has? If we went by how many seasons aired on TV, it's technically thirteen seasons.

But officially it recently had Season 10 on Hulu. All because two particular seasons aired in halves. Both Seasons 8 and 9 aired episodes like normal. Despite being streamed on Hulu and Disney+ on a few bundle deals. Season 10 flat out dropped the entire season in one shot.

Actual review section

Futurama is a spiritual successor to The Simpsons. They crossed over a few times including an full crossover episode on The Simpsons. Since then, it confirmed along with Disenchantment takes place in the same shared universe. Which is ambitious by itself.

The show centers on an space delivery company. They often find themselves in many rather unique situations. It reminds me of The Flash (CW show) in that regard. I would be lying to say this show been consistent it haven't. I would say most of the seasons are great though.

We had a former pizza delivery boy frozen in an machine for an thousand years. Literately just the first episode no less. He has a best friend, an robot named Bender. Bender always been my favorite Futurama character. You could view this as the modern take of The Jetsons.

Considering both had an famous red haired man among the most cast. Not to mention, an famous robot character that's close to them. Both shows are an unique perceptive about the future. I would say that's right on the money. Some of the logic really goes over your heads.

I am still feeling that with the most recent season finale episode. To a degree I actually consider an funnier show than The Simpsons. The Simpsons is filled with creativity in it's own right. But Futurama truly embodies the concept. You just never know what you're getting with the show.

This is exactly why I dislike Season 5 the most. The show works best when each episode within an season presents different situations. This particular season was virtually four movies. Two versions the original movie versions or the later broken into four episodes each versions?

Basically four major storylines across an entire season. This also led to two additional seasons. Thankfully Seasons 6 and 7 was like most of them. Maybe I prefer having more of a variety within the story telling. Futurama works best with that set up in mind.

Futurama always been a somewhat witty comedy show. Similar to The Big Bang Theory in that regard. At the same time, always been way more ambitious with it's concepts. In a lot of ways Futurama made the future rather exciting. But in other ways, I really hope some of those doesn't end up happening.

You know people get so into these futuristic concepts. They become desperate to make em an reality. Futurama always had such deep lore in things. Some of the more recent ones caught me very off guard. I do enjoy the What If machine episodes.

Virtually Futurama's answer to The Simpsons' Treehouse of Horror episodes. Some of the characters asks questions. This AI recreates exactly what would happen. I wasn't crazy for episodes that just change things though. I will give credit to a particular season finale episode.

Meanwhile is not only one of the finest Futurama episodes. But also one of the greatest animated sitcom season finales I ever seen!!! This particular episode was a huge surprise among it's entire second run. It was a surprisingly decent well written episode.

At the same time, they left the door open for possible newer seasons. For anyone that haven't seen this Futurama episode wow is all I gotta say to you. I actually felt Futurama may actually be the greatest thing Matt Groening ever created!!! Even as a huge Simpsons fan, I can't argue ways Futurama is better in.

The Simpsons may shown you the world. But Futurama went bigger than that by showing off the universe and beyond. The main characters are so rememberable as well. An handful of times, they dive into the multiverse. Thankfully this was before more franchises started doing a lot of related shows. To the point, they aren't doing well right now.

You get to learn a lot about everything. None of that ever comes off being boring either. Sometimes it's surprisingly funny at times. They also done several variations of concepts that effects time. Some of the main cast are ridiculously older than you would possibly imagine. Time is among the weirder topics of the show.

Of course, we can't forget such moments as Fry indirectly gotten his grandfather killed in the past. Then he slept with his grandma effectively becoming his own grandfather yes I'm not making this up. You could argue this is a more serious show than The Simpsons. But a couple episodes simply comes off being funnier in comparison.

Stuff like that is purely up to debate honestly. There's some rather impressive animation as well. The intro barely changes much with a classic theme song. You can tell they took some stuff from The Simpsons. Then they went the full distance with them. I been really wanting to review this show for a long time

I gotta talk about Bender, he often steals the show. I will attempt my best possible explanation of Bender's character. Imagine a much lesser human and more selfish Homer Simpson. Bender is an robot originally designed to bend things a huge surprise right? His full name is among the longest in history of anything Matt Groening ever created I'm very serious!!!

What I love so much about the character is in many situations. A lot of us easily could've done stuff he's done to a degree. I'm not implying we're all secretly bad people either. I just meant he comes off as that negative voice in our heads. Bender virtually does whatever he wants. For the most part without a single care in his systems.

He also ends up being one of the more interesting members of the crew. People remembered the times Homer used to say D'oh on a daily basis. For Bender, "Bite my shiny metal ass!!!" Wow such an catchphrase for an animated Sitcom character. He ends up being the most neutral character of the show. At times puts him at odds with the crew.

Like Homer, he drinks liquor to a degree. A major difference is robots must drink it or they get rusty. Which actually was showcased in a particular episode. Suddenly an character that drinks any form of liquor like this being more dangerous. There was some fans worried for the third run of the show. When his original voice actor wasn't confirmed to come back at the time.

They ended up bending to the fans to get his original voice actor back on the show see what I did there? Fry always reminded me of Bart that's more kind hearted and a bit more brave. Also because he often wears a red coat while having spiky hair. Leela is virtually this show's answer to Lisa. But a way more awesome female character in comparison.

A lot of the crew reminds me of several classic Simpsons characters. I love they just go for such out there ideas. I felt two of the three runs were quite funny. The current, third run felt like the original run of the show. It's safe to say this out doing Beavis & Butt-Head respectively. Futurama always been ahead of it's time lol you knew that was coming.

This show felt like the perfect showcase to the future. I know such an statement could easily spark controversiality. In my defense, Futurama really reinvented the wheel on that. Futurama quickly differ itself from The Simpsons. Futurama always been possibly the craziest of Groening's animated trinity. I know eventually Disenchantment will get it's own review.

Futurama is heavily centered around an futuristic New York City. They called it New New York they do explain it in an episode. I always welcome they go to other planets on the show. Every time a new planet shows up. You instantly know what we knew about to change fast. This is exactly why I always praised Futurama for a long time.

Even during it's original run this show had such a major impact on people including myself. Right now I really can't compare anything to this!!! Futurama is possibly one of the most unique shows I ever gotten into. I can't wait for Season 14 in the near future. I felt Futurama has potential for some truly amazing stories left in it.

Call of the Void (2025 Quake II mod)

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, GOG been directly supporting mods. You can get em for free. But you still need to buy the original games they're for. For a few months I started seeing stuff regarding a new, ambitious Quake II mod. I was more surprised it gotten onto GOG.

Call of the Void (2025)

This is essentially an fan sequel to the newest Quake II campaign. A rather interesting what if scenario bridging the first two Quake games together. Majority of the enemies is like compositive of both Quake games' designs. Somehow it worked wonders I was impressed.

When you go to select the mod campaign. I liked it gets added among all the other Quake II campaigns. Personally that's rather cool the team pulled that off. After playing this Quake II mod I felt it belongs in there!!! This felt like an actual expansion to those Quake games.

Similar to the newer campaigns of Heretic + Hexen honestly. There's six huge levels packed with surprises. They didn't repackage anything from the main game or it's expansions. The intro has you going through a void. Such a cool visual the team pulled off.

I won't spoil the ending I sure didn't expect it though. I also liked some Quake 1 weapons showed up as well. You get more weapons than before. Yet it's still surprisingly balanced. You never felt overpowered that's a good sign. Your compass is virtually useless though.

Then again once you start to figure stuff out. Suddenly you don't care about that anymore. There's a lot of enemies on the way to deal with. I loved how they attempted to mess the two Quake games' level designs together. This was among my favorite aspects of the mod.

GOG knew something great was coming. You can count being an fan of either Quake game. They'll enjoy the hell out of this mod. This is such an unique experience. Just differs enough to be it's own thing. Sometimes I forget how impressively mods can truly be.

Honestly I am hoping Bloom shows up on GOG soon. This was made by the same team. Bloom is one of those mods I really wanna play!!! Combining Doom with Blood is a match made in Hell!!! Although this is a close second to that. You really can't go wrong with this mod.

The campaign is a few hours long. I don't want people getting the wrong idea about it's length. I will give em a lot of credit pulling this concept off. This easily could've gotten south too. I would say among a few mods I played from GOG. Easily among the finest I played to date it's a huge recommendation.

More thoughts about Decision Legacy Collection

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I know so soon with another Decision blog entry. But for the time being it's going to be the last one for awhile. A few hours ago today I finally gotten the last two achievements. Now I can help give some people a much more clear idea what they're really in for. Especially if they plan to fully achievement hunt this.

For starters, you're going to do a lot of things so often. By the end of the process you'll memorize them all in great details. There's eighty overall in game achievements you'll need to get. If you want the hardest actual achievement this collection offers. You really gotta do everything across four flash games. These aren't short in length either.

You can expect a couple hours at best. This is to be expected for all four Decision games. This differs from many flash game theme compilation games. Where either all of them are short in length or one of them being a few hours longer than the rest. This is critical you got to be very aware about missable achievements in the first two Decision games.

Unlike Decision 3 & Medieval, you will be forced to fully restart from scratch among missing em. Which can be quite annoying I recently had such a set back in Decision 1 yesterday. Very few in game achievements has glitches that could prevent you from getting em to a degree. The one glitch you should avoid is buying store glitch.

Although you could use it to help speed up getting the upgrades. Just make sure don't get the final upgrades. Unless you plan to do another mission right afterwards. If you buy those upgrades then exit game your saves. You maintain your in game money amount but prevented getting those achievements. This also recently happened to me.

A large amount of the in game achievements is really grindy at it's core. You gotta kill enemies in many ways. There's a few obstacles with each of those kill achievements. In Decision 1, any kill achievement you got left. I strongly advised before completing out sections of the map. You replay the missions until unlocked em.

Also don't fully max out towers and factories. This will prevent you from fully completing out those sections. When you do complete em you no longer can do Clean-up missions. In other words any achievements requiring missions like that done. Suddenly prevents you from getting those particular achievements.

Thankfully this isn't an issue with the rest of the lineup. I noticed while looking online for a few achievements. In particular finding ATMs and store houses. I got two major advices for this. Make sure you absolutely check everywhere. If you destroyed ATMs they will respawn. Even the ones you already claimed.

Along with store houses in Decision: Medieval. There's these sections outside the route of the map. Two missions across three of the games. Which you could miss unlocking if you aren't careful. Their icons on the maps is an red enemy head. You also gotta search these locations for those. I was quite surprised when I found em during these missions.

Just in case anyone was wondering yes this also applies to finding hiding spots as well. I actually considered finding those more frustrating in comparison. Although the last two Decision games made that process much easier. Again you gotta take your time with a lot of stuff. Especially you want the hardest achievement this collection offers.

Up till recently I took it upon myself to write an guide how to get Reconnoniter achievement in Decision 1. Don't worry I will be linking down below. I also added some stuff earlier in today. I can confirm this guide quickly helped me get right back where I was. I just hope this helps more people getting such an frustration achievement.

For those that doesn't know Reconnoniter rushes you to get through the entire map within 40 days. Following my guide you'll be in the final section by Day 38. I also recommend at least three towers being each weapon. Later on you can easily swap em out if you want. These sections are great for getting more kills for the bigger kill count achievements.

https://jackred1989.blogspot.com/2025/09/how-i-gotten-reconnoniter-achievement.html

If the meters is too high on those sections. Make sure you're upgraded enough to do Clean-up missions instead. Two of the games has two enemy armies you'll deal with. Despite how similarities Mutants acts to Orcs. Not to mention the Werewolf enemies originally on zombies' side in Decision 2. I also recommend those outside sections or Clean-up missions helps with mastering out weapon skills.

This excludes the original Decision 1. You still can upgrade by buying em in that game. I also love both Medieval and 3 has New Game Plus. Which does carry over your achievements. Preventing you from restarting fully from scratch. Decision 3 forces you to constantly manage people around. You gotta locate people within the missions or bases.

This by itself notably slows the game down a lot. It's critical you gather up a lot of people. Especially builders, captains and engineers respectively. I really wish I known this much sooner. I finally realize too late into an run that's what you're suppose to do. Three of these Decision games has people you'll need to locate then escort.

They bring several upgrades you can go for. Although a particular master in Decision: Medieval could glitch among finishing out that mission. Which actually happened to me twice. If this happens you could try again in your next run. Keep in mind, New Game Plus runs are automatically on Hard+ difficulty.

Not having any of them limits what you could do in the game. An handful of skills are very critical to have. It's a little tricky to have those skills upgraded twice early into the runs. A little research you'll know which skills I'm talking about. Mostly Engineering, Hacking and Unlocking respectively. You also need to figure out how to get sections unlocked.

This by itself could cause confusion. Not to mention, slows you down. More directly speed bumps above everything else. Don't worry these games will let you know when you gotten those sections. Sadly they won't tell you what you need to do to unlock em. In all honestly you quickly get used to that. The difficulty will noticeably spike at times.

Yes I'm looking at you Decision 3!!! This Decision game loves being an constant pain in your buttocks. You often get stun locked by enemies. The later portions will have a lot of tougher enemies including Trolls. Which is also true with Decision: Medieval. Expect a series of endurance matches. Decision 3 also has two top monster bosses.

I highly recommend being close to or simply get maxed on every upgrade. Trust me you're going to need it against those bosses. Those sections I previously mentioned has em too. Thank god they don't force you to face both boss monsters at once. I also recommend taking notes to prevent future major set backs.

You also need to keep track of your in game money as well. It's the easiest to keep track of in Decision 1 since it's just your money that's it. Two of the later games requires more than money to get stuff done. This heavily plays into managing people in Decision 3. I also recommend the first two Decision games try to stay on top of most enemies within tower missions.

You might be focus in one spot with a lot of enemies. But you may notice your meter starts to go down. Suddenly you're force to make a choice. Stay focus where you're at or take a huge chance to deal with another spot filled enemies? It also depends how high the meter on each section is. It's very low then these missions should be incredibly easy.

If they are around half way to higher. These missions can be quite challenging to complete. If that ever happens I recommend doing Clean-up missions. At least if you fail it's more on you than the game being incredibly cheap. Not to say the game couldn't be during Clean-up missions either. Most of them has people you'll need to train.

Some of them also allows you to buy mercenaries or personally select people within your team. Which is kinda awesome Decision 3 does that!!! Just don't expect the dream team to own everything. A lot of times they easily get owned themselves. Then again if you're upgraded enough you should be fine. I hope all of this information helps someone get every achievement within Decision Legacy Collection.

How I gotten Reconnoniter achievement in Decision Legacy Collection?

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, on the side I been trying to get every achievement within Decision Legacy Collection. At this time I finished three of them fully achievements wise. Three out of four Decision games for the hardest achievement. However a particular achievement in Decision 1 ended up being a huge obstacle.

I just gotten glitched out an achievement I briefly had. I forgot about the famous buying store glitch. Which works against getting all weapons with upgrades achievement, Full arsenal. Make sure you buy em then quickly do any mission to properly keep em. Thus, you don't end up having this happening to you.

I tested out an theory using that glitch. It turns out if you don't buy the last of the upgrades. You can still go for those achievements. Only attempt this if you know how the glitch works.

I wrote this because I couldn't find a guide that reached the final section within 40 days. After some failed attempts I managed to put this following guide together. This process will take a couple hours to finish.

Reconnoniter

This achievement forces you to rush procession of the game. You have to explore all seven sections of the map before forty days. This required some careful planning with a few curve balls. If you do it just right every missable achievements you'll get as well.

I will try my best to explain how I pulled such an frustrating achievement off. I will label strategies with Days to make it easier to keep track. Which is what exactly I'll look for in other people's guides especially video playthroughs. I'm also aware some of these following instructions may get a bit confusing.

Before anything you do an training section. Simply kill ten zombies to move on. There's not much else than that. I just recommend get your prefer controls. I prefer using the ASD controls set out myself. I hated the default one that automatically moves you forward to a degree.

Day 1

I recommend getting the shotgun for 300 gold coins. It's critical you also pick up Engineering I for 250 gold coins. This particular skill is required for later on. You should have 350 gold coins remaining. Beyond this point the amounts you could have going to differ to a degree.

Next we're going to start Northwest area with Recon. You have to recon all seven sections of the map regardless. Thankfully you can take your time with this mission. Also going a little slower to get more use of the controls. Later on it's critical you master them.

Among completing the mission you'll receive 500 gold coins.

Day 2

I recommend upgrading your shotgun for 450 gold coins. The best your default weapon the easier things going to be. We're slowly getting line up to make a lot of gold coins. I also recommend doing Clean-up. You should be aware once you 100% that section.

Clean-up missions are gone for good. Which isn't an issue in the other Decision games. This plays into another missable achievement, Explorer. Again just worry about taking out all the zombies. No real rush but destroying barrels goes towards a few achievements.

Among completing the mission you'll receive 740 gold coins.

Day 3

I recommend upgrading your shotgun again. This time we're going to do Tower-capture. You better get use to these missions. You gotta locate the locations then claim em. Which means a lot of zombies heading your way. You start with the easiest by default.

You got to protect generators. Which is similar to Capture Tower missions. Both of these are essential to do in the game. The difficulty will notice increase as well. The right upgrades can go a long way here. This is still early into the process. One mistake could easily derail the entire process.

Among completing the mission you'll receive 1220 gold coins.

Day 4

A little risky I recommend doing Assault position. You use towers that's armed with one of three weapons to kill off the undead. This is important to keep your eye on while continuing on with the game. These missions can get over whelming as well. All I could say is simply do your best to not fail em.

Among completing the mission you'll receive 1040 gold coins.

Day 5

By now you unlocked both North area and West area respectively. Roughly half the map unlocked by this point. I actually recommend starting with West area. A particular missable achievement, Private Dexter there. You simply need to locate his corpse for the achievement.

I also recommend for another achievement, Master of Melee. Buy Self-defense I it helps a lot in defending missions. Melee attacks is automatically allowing you to focus on reloading your weapons. At the same time, you aren't defenseless when they attack you now.

Obviously you will be doing Recon mission in West area. We don't wanna miss finding Private Dexter after all. This is also where you may notice how important the upgrades are. It's critical you explore the maps as much as possible. You won't be able to once any sections reaches 100% completion.

Among completing the mission you'll receive 1920 gold coins.

Day 6

A bit risky I recommend upgrading both your Stamina and Agility a level. Trust me this may do wonders later on. To locate Private Dexter for the achievement. You'll need to do Clean-up in West area. Don't worry I'll try to give directions to his location.

Go down then head right pass an army vehicle towards the bottom. Just ahead of that vehicle is the body of Private Dexter you are welcome. You could take a huge risk to go look for him first. Before taking out a lot of zombies. By this point following the guide it should've been an easy mission.

Among completing the mission you'll receive 1220 gold coins.

Day 7

I recommend doing Recon mission in North area. Thankfully it's not like the later entries. You can breath for a bit longer. Just the usual stuff taking out more zombies. Again explore the map to a degree. Any missable achievements make sure. You do any of those while you still can.

Among completing the mission you'll receive 2820 gold coins.

Day 8

I recommend doing Clean-up in North area. Just making sure you done that before the opportunity goes away. By now you should know how these missions goes? I also recommend try saving up enough gold coins for Engineering II upgrade. Otherwise you will be stuck until you do.

Among completing the mission you'll receive 1600 gold coins.

Days 9-12

Now you got Tower-capture and Factory-capture across two sections you gotta do. Sadly these will take a few days off to fully do. There's no right order to go about em. Just defend generators from a lot of zombies. We're slowly approaching half way through.

To clarify I'm talking about West area and North area in this portion of the guide. Either way you need to make sure all of this gets done. We're getting set up for the end game. Not to mention making most missable achievements easier to do. Of course that's up to what you wanna do?

2200 gold coins

2000 gold coins

1660 gold coins

1820 gold coins

Among completing the missions you'll receive 7680 gold coins.

Not considering additional gold coins earned from Factory profits either.

Day 13

I recommend buying Engineering II upgrade. Now you have another huge decision. Three of the killing achievements involves towers. You will need to figure out any combination you want. Personally I kept Northwest area the default weapon choice I chosen to rebuild tower in North area to Rocket.

Stuff like this there's no real order how to go about em. Rockets is more destructive with a slower firing rate. Please keep that in mind with using em. They're great for quickly preventing enemies from escaping the area. You'll be racking up gold coins in no time.

Among completing the mission you'll receive 1780 gold coins.

Not considering additional gold coins earned from Factory profits either.

Day 14

I'm going to change tower out for Cannon. Virtually defending an generator again. It's very important to do these missions. This may actually be my favorite of the three weapons. Just exactly who I want the weapon to be for this style of missions. Later versions will be a bit tricker though.

Among completing the mission you'll receive 1980 gold coins.

Not considering additional gold coins earned from Factory profits either.

Day 15

I recommend to upgrade Tower in Northwest area. This also lower the meter down a bit to prevent losing time. Thus being forced to clean the section out with tougher enemies. Staying on top of this issue will be a god send. Just don't rush to complete em or you'll quickly die.

Among completing the mission you'll receive 2600 gold coins.

Not considering additional gold coins earned from Factory profits either.

Days 16 & 17

I recommend upgrading the towers in the following sections as well. Then we should have enough days to do this process with the factories. You will start to notice the difficulty getting higher. It'll start to test your determination for this achievement.

1600 gold coins

2080 gold coins

Among completing the missions you'll receive 3680 gold coins.

Not considering additional gold coins earned from Factory profits either.

Day 18

I chosen to do another Assault position in Northwest area. Partly to lowering the meter down a bit. But you also get a lot of gold coins doing those missions. Again as a reminder I'm using the default weapon here. Quickly kill a lot of them while preventing too many from escaping.

Among completing the mission you'll receive 1700 gold coins.

Not considering additional gold coins earned from Factory profits either.

Days 19 & 20

I recommend trying to save up money for Engineering III. For right now in two sections do Factory-upgrade missions. These can be a bit challenging to do. Same concept as before defend generators. This also will give us more additional money from factories to help improve our chances.

2280 gold coins

1660 gold coins

Among completing the missions you'll receive 3940 gold coins.

Not considering additional gold coins earned from Factory profits either.

Day 21-23

I recommend doing Assault position across the three sections of the map you have. This would be a lot easier than doing Clean-up missions. They go notably quicker for faster money earning. They also help keep the meters down long term here. This is what I felt works best at the moment.

1660 gold coins

3620 gold coins

4920 gold coins

Among completing the missions you'll receive 10,200 gold coins.

Not considering additional gold coins earned from Factory profits either.

Day 24

On Day 23, Center area should've became available. Which means you're on the right track following my guide. You should have enough gold coins to buy Engineering III. This will come into play later on. Now we can start with Center area.

You got to do Recon before anything here. This is roughly where the half way mark of the game. From this point on your strategies gotta be bigger. The ultimate goal is reaching the seventh & final section of the map. It's critical to put a lot of extra thoughts into the next series of moves.

During Recon you'll encounter your first boss fight. Thankfully this huge zombie uses an melee weapon. He's also quite predictable making him quite easy to deal with. Simply take your time you'll be fine. Then claim Main Street after he's defeated. I had more trouble with some of the zombies firing guns honestly.

Among completing the mission you'll receive 4980 gold coins.

Not considering additional gold coins earned from Factory profits either.

Day 25

Right off the bat do Clean-up to help get process on another missable achievement. The difficulty may be spiking a bit. The objectives always remains the same. Simply clean out the area that's it. We are slowly getting ready for the bigger moves.

Among completing the mission you'll receive 2660 gold coins.

Not considering additional gold coins earned from Factory profits either.

Days 26 & 27

I recommend doing both capture missions after each other. Both will help you out to some degree. You will need all the help you can get to reach the last section within forty days. I just hope this made the entire process more straight as well as a bit easier to understand.

1960 gold coins

3120 gold coins

Among completing the missions you'll receive 5080 gold coins.

Not considering additional gold coins earned from Factory profits either.

Day 28

You got a few choices what you could do in Center area. I felt doing Assault position may help continue things along. It's also your choice which weapon this tower uses. I partly need a little more money for my next big move. We should be close unlocking two more sections of the map.

Among completing the mission you'll receive 2860 gold coins.

Not considering additional gold coins earned from Factory profits either.

Day 29

You should just unlocked both East area and South area respectively. I recommend doing Recon on South area first. This will quickly lead to finding Private Stan. Don't worry his corpse in one of the following missions in that section. I also recommend buying Stamina II and Agility II.

The second boss shows up on your way to claim Main Street. This boss has an shotgun making him quite damaging. I highly recommend deal with him as soon as possible. It will take a little while to put him down. But you don't wanna chance things with him running away.

Among completing the mission you'll receive 9600 gold coins.

Not considering additional gold coins earned from Factory profits either.

Day 30

I recommend doing Recon mission on East area. Otherwise the game can't properly go forward.

Among completing the mission you'll receive 9220 gold coins.

Not considering additional gold coins earned from Factory profits either.

Day 31

I recommend doing Clean-up in South area to simply add to procession of that missable achievement.

Among completing the mission you'll receive 4400 gold coins.

Not considering additional gold coins earned from Factory profits either.

Day 32

We quickly do it again in East area for the same reason. You'll get use to all of this faster than you realize.

Among completing the mission you'll receive 4020 gold coins.

Not considering additional gold coins earned from Factory profits either.

Day 33

Upgrade your shotgun three times. You should be close to max with that lineup of firearms. Private Brian directions if you wanna locate his corpse. Virtually an reverse capital L you're going down. Then you wanna continue all the way to the left. His corpse surrounded by metal stuff mostly vehicles.

This is in South area to help prevent confusion. You'll need to do Factory-capture to locate him.

Among completing the mission you'll receive 4080 gold coins.

Not considering additional gold coins earned from Factory profits either.

Day 34

I chosen to do Capture-factory in East area.

Among completing the mission you'll receive 4280 gold coins.

Not considering additional gold coins earned from Factory profits either.

Days 35 & 36

Now we're going to Capture-tower in the two newer sections we unlocked in a row.

3200 gold coins

4780 gold coins

Among completing the missions you'll receive 7980 gold coins.

Not considering additional gold coins earned from Factory profits either.

Days 37

I recommend if you have enough gold. Buy both Stamina III & Self-defense II. Both will work well together for the later portions. I felt you should consider doing Assault position in South area.

Among completing the missions you'll receive 2820 gold coins.

Not considering additional gold coins earned from Factory profits either.

Day 38

You should finally have access to Southeast area. Make sure to find Private Stan whose surprisingly easy to find. Simply go down from where you spawned. Then carefully turned to the right to see his corpse. It's a little pass a blockage on the way down.

On your way to the factory is another boss. This guy will throw grenades at you. Not to much a lot of tanky gun wielding zombies here as well. Make sure you are upgraded enough to attempt this mission.

Among finishing this Recon mission finally give you Reconnoniter achievement.
