Also, should have got Joel to record a line for it saying "When you said SPLASH screen I did not think you meant a literal splash of blood and guts, Milky"!!!

Also, did not realise until doing the alt text that this picture of Jo Nesbø’s Detective Hole even has a star in the middle of it.

A poster for the Netflix show "Jo Nesbø’s Detective Hole". Dark and grimy, it features a star at the centre.

"Jo Nesbø’s Detective Hole" is my new favourite euphemism.

"It's a game where your only verbs are talking and pissing." My kind of game!

This is true! AI slop is the new Metacritic, and Earth Must Die's Slop Score is 90% 🎉

Found a glowing review of Earth Must Die by an AI slop site, so I think AI is good now actually.

What's the point in Mario inventing all these design pillars if we're not going to copy them?

Any kid who does not immediately try to make the flag go down when you run past it at the end should fail the club.

I think our prime minister is doing a *magnificent* job and is not a fascist ghoul *at all*.

Just saw my follower count - very appropriate given the recent TGP post!

(Side-trivia: after this puzzle, 10:20 became our standard 'nerd reference to be deployed on all in-game clock', replacing previous favourite 10:04 from Back To The Future.)

UNDER AN HOUR LEFT TO GET 1 OR 2 AMAZING GAMES AT A SILLY PRICE! People are still telling Dan that they weren't aware of this game so I do not feel bad for spamming you about it! We are here! YOP! 80% Metacritic! Main complaints we've received are that it hates fascists & loves dick jokes! NAB IT!

Is it weird that I get an Avengers Endgame level thrill from seeing the Gladiators do each other's poses?

The most metal game review award badge ever, reading "Wolf's Gaming Blog - Recommended" and featuring a silhouetted werewolf howling with a game controller in one hand and what is presumably a bottle of booze in the other, all framed with laurels and ribbons AND stars.

Possibly the best award badge given to Earth Must Die yet. We've got another 4/5 review nOWWWWWWW

Only a few days left to take advantage of this! Also, bear in mind the bonus comedy content of the handful of negative Steam reviews and threads with the hilariously transparent motivation of being upset that the game takes a rather negative stance on fascism.

I do that every night, but then in the mornings I realise Steam would BAN all of it.

Good thread about the direct control (i.e. not 'point and click to walk') in Earth Must Die. Especially with the twist ending that it's all drunk me's fault.

Earth Must Die Review: Point-and-Click Comedy at Its Most Cynical VValak Lizardtongue is a showcase of hereditary power gone wrong. He ends up on the throne of the Tyrythian Ascendancy

"a sharp, cynical triumph for fans of British comedy and classic animation. VValak is a masterclass in making an unlikable protagonist a joy to inhabit."
