Alex has a Point is a joke/meme mod for LISA: The Pointless. It offers a considerably easier, considerably quicker run through most of the areas visited in the original LISA: The Pointless.In pre-Flash Olathe, Alex Churchland was a practitioner of the Armstrong Style of martial arts and a Disciple of Brad. After the Flash, he has, as in the original game, ended up wounded and thrown away with a large mass of garbage. As in the original game, he is discovered by Joel, alongside a bullet. Here, things take a diverging path. Alex knows exactly how he ended up in the situation he is in at the beginning of the game, and he explicitly states a disinterest in getting revenge. Instead, he traverses through Olathe, recruiting several companions and leaving a large wave of death in his wake.This mod goes against the original LISA: The Pointless in several ways. It is considerably easier, contains multiple party members, has Joel as something of an antagonist, and has a much less serious tone.It has a prequel mod created some time later, Brad Has a Pain.Alex has a Point can be downloaded here.

Weird World, Weird Food: The first bulk food you are likely to encounter are One Dollar Bills, given to Alex by his father as child support.

No Fourth Wall: A great many characters will refer to LISA: The Pointless and other non-diegetic video games, including Lisa itself and the fact that mods and fangames exist for it.

But Thou Must!
 Alex Has A Point (Video Game) / int_504e271f
comment
But Thou Must!: Alex encounters a man saying he must be killed by Hugo Leopardi in the desert. Alex says, to paraphrase, that 'no, you could be killed by me" and attempts to kill him. Alex bounces harmlessly off the man, and he insists that, no, it really must be Hugo to kill him. This interaction gives Alex the Depression status effect.

Disproportionate Retribution

comment
Disproportionate Retribution: In the beginning of this game, Alex refuses to trust Joel. He can be re-encountered by entering a doorway near the starting location. If you encounter him again in this room, he will shoot Alex with his only bullet. This leads to an immediate game over.

Boomerang Bigot: There is a black man outside of the shack in the desert. He tells you that he "hates black people" and to "tell them all I said that." Alex responds with his catchphrase.

Roaring Rampage of Revenge
 Alex Has A Point (Video Game) / int_ceec4df5
comment
Roaring Rampage of Revenge: Averted. Before leaving the first location, a house, Joel offers Alex revenge against the men who beat him and disposed of him. Alex says no, quite emphatically. That being said, Alex eventually says that he is hunting down Brad Armstrong. The reasons are not especially clear. It may be because of Brad's complete defeat of Alex at the tournament years before. It may because Brad beat Alex and threw him out before the events of the game. It could be that Alex wishes to become the master of the Armstrong Style and must defeat Brad to do it.

Decoy Protagonist
 Alex Has A Point (Video Game) / int_df410b77
comment
Decoy Protagonist: Inverted, so, Decoy Antagonist, actually. As in LISA: The Pointless, Arnold Shpitz is, for the most part, built up throughout the downtown Olathe as the final boss for the area. The true final boss of the area, Rando is built up a few times by being mentioned by various characters, but most of the on-screen build up and much of the dialogue build up still suggests an eventual confrontation with Shpitz. At the end of the Downtown Olathe segment, dialogue still takes place indicating that he and Alex's party are about to do combat. Before it can begin, Rando falls from the sky, lands on Sphitz, crushes him, and acts as the true final boss of the area. As this is last real fight of the game, he also functions as the final combat boss fought in the game.

History Repeats: Unlike in LISA: The Pointless, but like in Lisa: The Painful RPG, in Alex Has a Point, you do not ride a boat; you use the body of a Hernandez as a boat.

Comically Missing the Point: Alex can encounter a pair of skeletons, impaled, in a hut in the desert. Examining them leads to a box coming up whose dialogue asks how they got their clothes on.
