    Spoony’s never heard of EDF? Wow, I thought that was a cult series by now.

    • OldestManAlive

      It is a cult series. Most cult series are highly valued and put on the throne as “Most amazing thing ever” by their loyal fans. However, something like Justin Bieber can’t be a cult phenomena, because with the word cult comes the word not extremely well known or even rather secluded. Much like how Spongebob in it’s early days was a cult tv show that only 10,000 kids knew existed and absolutely loved. The spongebob nowadays cannot be considered such being on primetime and having millions upon millions of fanbase.

    The Move is so underrated. Shooting giant bugs, looks surprisingly fun. Oh and did I mention the Move is actually fun?

    I was just going to buy the PS3 camera when I decided to throw down some extra $$$ to get the move bundle. The sports games were fun, but it’s not like I’m rushing home every day to play that title. The Sorcery game looked interesting at E3 and I’m just hoping it’s decent when it’s released. Is Move Great?..No. Is it a decent inexpensive add-on that has potential?..Yes.

    The real question is if the Ps3 Move version of Children Of Eden supports using the dualshock3 controller as a vibrator and capturing the girls “playing” on video!

    Cannot wait for the new EDF. You have no idea how much time me and my friends sank into the last one. It is so awesomely a B-movie of a game.

    Oh wow, Shoot Many Robots and Children of Eden look fun. Might have to check them out. Good coverage man, otherwise, those two would have passed right by me.

    Anybody know what background music Spoony overlaid on this video? It sounds so familiar!

      Sounds like an arrangement from Double Dragon 2, I think it’s from the same album that Benzaie got his intro theme for Hard Corner. And it’s tremendous.

    Are you serious? A sequel to Rez? Well hot damn. To be honest, Rez bored me a little but it’s only because I’m a complete wuss and gave up before I started losing haha, so that is entirely my fault. Child of Eden however, looks awesome. If Rez looked spectacular for its time (and even today), imagine what Child of Eden would be like.

    The “Shoot Many Robots” one does look really mindless, like losing braincells mindless. But at the same time I love Metal Slug, so who knows. The bug one looks funny and i would like to try that out, although I do feel the appeal might disappear after awhile.

    Hmm, for a short video on mindless shooters, this was pretty good info.

    The fact that there is gonna be a sequel to Earth Defense Force 2017 just brightens my day.

      Then you’ll like hearing this.

      There’s a PSP port of the older PS2 Earth Defense Force games.

      So now you can scream EDF in the bus, blasting bugs away on your PSP! (If they ever decide to port it over… But then again, I believe the PSP is region free (need to double check that), so you could always just import your bugs to kill.

    In the UK the EFD stands for the English Defence Force, a very nasty racist organisation that are in favour of getting rid of all the muslims. They recently got press by publicly supporting a gay pride march in London, which eventually led to the whole event being canceled because they were probably trying to stir up tension between the the gay and muslim communities.

    What I’m basically saying is that the title might not go over too well here.

      Are you European? I have a weird question about American stereotypes. I ask this because Americans don’t think they have an accent of any kind. I bet we sound like Gene Simmons, or Shatner. Pretty much what the old vacuum tube microphones used in the 50′s sound like.

      You guys have some weird sayings over there in the European dimension. What the fuck is a “wheely bin”? I’m sure that these colloquialism’s go so far that nobody understands what anybody is talking about, and just descends into some well mixed word salad.

      I can see it now: “Well tin my froggy on the roger with summat, luv.” “Excuse me?”

      Do English people think Americans are dense? I ask because I know a girl who told me that she thought “Monty Python was a funny guy”. It kind of lowered my expectations, having seen the Flying Circus. John Clesse is fucking awesome!

      Last question: are we still as strong as the populace has deluded itself into thinking it is? America sees itself as if we were the worlds caretaker. It’s kind of scary when your military is the most efficient thing about your country. Let’s you know what your where the government’s priorities are. Our society is treating the recession in the same way we treated our Great Depression, only not as severely.

      Did you know that the focus of history textbooks differ from country to country?

    I heard that Shoot Many Robots was inspired not only by Metal Slug, but Zombieland as well, and to that, I have this to say. If wanting to play as a Luddite Tallahassee is wrong, I don’t want to be right.
