Weird Video Games (Web Video) | comment |
From the weird, to the wild, to the WHAT, Weird Video Games is a video game review show by "Heisanevilgenius" (real name Tom White), where only the most asinine and mind-breaking games are showcased to the masses. The show is a result of Tom's self-appointed quest to find the oddest of the odd and get the good word out for the funkiest and wackiest games in existence. From blocks finding magical goblets and avoiding duck-like dragons to tomatoes who shoot fists at household objects, Heisanevilgenius has you covered.Heisanevilgenius is also (he claims) the genius behind the patron saint of bad fanfic, Peter Chimaera, and created the Rom Hack Super Mario TKO, one of several popularised by ProtonJon.The show's Web site can be found here. | |

Weird Video Games (Web Video) / int_1439161f | comment |
Heroic BSoD: This tends to happen when the game being reviewed gets a little too weird. Happens during the host's Revolution X review. The ultimate example is Beat'em and Eat'em for the Atari 2600, where he spends a majority of the video writing and typing his thoughts as just talking about it froze him and removed his speech. | |

Cowboy BeBop at His Computer | |
Weird Video Games (Web Video) / int_43dfa920 | comment |
Cowboy Be Bop At His Computer: All over the place in the episode covering Zunzun-kyou no Yabou. Here's the two biggest examples: The titular Zunzun-kyou is not the player-character as stated in the video. It's the enemy organization. This should have been clear to his translator as the character for "kyou" in this instance roughly translates to "faith" or "doctrine". The player-character is not a statue of the Buddha, but rather Kshitigarbha, better known as "Jizou" in Japan, and referred to in the game's manual and page on the Japanese version of The Other Wiki as the Silver Jizou (Player two is the Gold Jizou) | |

Badass Normal: Judging by Tom's reaction to the enemies in Bazooka Bill, the "men-in-adult-diapers" are possibly the most powerful enemies in the game, where a bomb just takes off one HP while these guys can cost you a life. | |

Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: Discussed in "Cathouse Blues." The laws in "Dimension Bob" seem to dictate that running most of the time is sure to alert the cops. The stinger for the episode has Tom's character get arrested just after the character got mugged. | |

Badass Decay: Invoked. Tom notes this in the review for Yume Penguin Monogatari, in which Penta, once the fastest organism on the planet, has lost all of his athletic abilities and is now stuck in a dysfunctional relationship with a girl penguin who is not only threatening to dump him if he doesn’t lose weight, but has also already chosen a new boyfriend. | |

Joke and Receive: In "Rock 'n' Rage", after expressing disbelief at the random weirdness of the first Ancient Egypt level (such as Cleopatra giving you a forcefield powerup) he sarcastically suggests that the next level, Mediaeval Great Britain, will include Dracula as an enemy. It actually turns out to have Nosferatu as an enemy... | |
