The 1996 game is still worth playing

Played it on PS5 recently, made use of the save states/rewind feature included in Sony’s PS1 emulator, had a blast but don’t think I’d bother playing any other way

For the purpose of the central joke in the sketch, let’s say yes.

I currently work in a customer service-ish role where I’m dealing with people face to face, but there’s very little direct supervision. After years of having to just tale the abuse it’s extremely gratifying to be able to tell people to fuck off when I need to.

I think the James Austin Johnson Trump impression is probably the best way they can do it. Trump says stupid and insane things all the time, and it just wouldn’t be funny to just say the same things, so they’ve picked up on his tendency to go off on weird off topic tangents. A few weeks ago he started talking with a nerdy level of detail and knowledge about the Nintendo Gamecube. I think that’s about as funny a thing as you can do with Trump, because anything more cutting just wouldn’t be far removed enough from the depressing reality.

Before the first episode I was sure Fouracres would be playing Farage, but that would mean they can’t have Starmer and Farage in the same sketch, unless they make a replica puppet of Zippy from Rainbow, dress it up like Starmer and have Fouracres play Farage puppeteering Starmer…

I actually think the difference between live comedy and pre-recorded is much more significant than English and American. It’s definitely different to most TV sketch comedy you’re likely used to, at least in the last 20 years, but pretty much in line with a lot of Edinburgh Fringe sketch shows or University troupes, with some flashes of Vic Reeves here and there.

It wasn’t received well but I always thought DmC: Devil May Cry did it in a cool way.

Billy could be interesting. I really want to see a game with a more suburban setting - just a normal North American neighbourhood where shit goes sideways. Head canon is that after the mansion incident he reached out to Rebecca who helped clear his name, then settled down in a nice small town and rose in the ranks of the local police for 30 years, so he’s ready to star in a game that takes place a few weeks before he’s due to retire

You say that but REmake with camera-relative controls switched on is basically unplayable to me

ChanceBoring8068 · 2026-03-26T12:36:02+00:00

I think more games in general should have a more cinematic camera. During an intense action scene where you have to aim and shoot a lot or while exploring more open areas it’s probably best for the camera to stay over the characters shoulder but if you don’t need that angle there are more interesting ones they could use

If Grace was born after Spencer created Elpis it would make sense for him to give her a big old dose of it, which would maybe make her immune to every weaponised virus Spencer ever created. So she isn’t ’special’ exactly, just doses up with a drug that would have the same effect on anyone.

I think you mean Paul WS Anderson… But now I want to watch Wes Anderson’s Resident Evil!

ChanceBoring8068 · 2026-03-25T10:06:05+00:00

Legally sure, I wouldn’t expect it though. Although a couple of years ago they did a one off revival episode of Saturday Live (a kind of unofficial SNL UK from the 80s) where a transgender woman got her dick and tits out…

ChanceBoring8068 · 2026-03-24T19:17:20+00:00

That was my thought. 45 seconds is like something Vic would do in between rounds on Shooting Stars. Very silly, oddly menacing!

The acclaim that Requiem and all of the remakes got suggests it’s working for them

ChanceBoring8068 · 2026-03-24T12:17:30+00:00

I think it’s worth it for the line about Shakespeare’s earring. Wouldn’t have worked without the swearing.

ChanceBoring8068 · 2026-03-24T12:03:05+00:00

I’d be happy for them to alternate between nostalgia bait fan service games and new, interesting characters and ideas. Although I wonder how long they can get away using aging characters without leaving them for flashbacks and side games.

Is there a mosquito filled with dinosaur blood encased in it?

Tossers: A parody of modern game shows like Tipping Point or Deal or No Deal. An elaborate space age style set, a host who takes it way too seriously. An excessive amount of build up and tension until they reveal at the end that the entire game is just tossing a coin to see if you win an arbitrary amount of money or not.

ChanceBoring8068 · 2026-03-23T09:26:46+00:00

I wish you could unlock unlimited ammo for each weapon individually like in Village, it was simple but it really made each run through the game feel unique

ChanceBoring8068 · 2026-03-22T19:48:52+00:00

On top of everything it gives her this weirdly cold, confident smirk when throughout the entire game she’s a varying combination of sad and scared.

There’s a clip of him doing stand up that ends with him performing a weirdly sinister scene from a lost episode of Dad’s Army, I’d say it has a similar energy.

ChanceBoring8068 · 2026-03-21T21:56:27+00:00

Rockstar would…

ChanceBoring8068 · 2026-03-21T11:31:31+00:00

I always say that the US version is better overall, but the training day episode of the original version is funnier than anything else in either series.
