Fun fact: the music was actually made by the same composer from the show and the script was also written by one of the writers of the show, the same one that wrote the original special in fact, which is something none of the previous games had so i guess that helps explain why it feels so much more faithful.
After this episode I like how the Twonkies became a background gag in the show, showing up in random places but never being acknowledged by anyone. Pretty fun to see if you could spot any.
Dude I have to say, you’ve gone from a creator I would watch when I stumbled upon them occasionally to my most anticipated upload. You make what I can only describe as comfy content, like a friend telling you about a game they used to play or a discussion about different games you enjoy. No loud noises or crazy edits, just well researched, scripted and delivered videos and they’re always a joy to watch. I’ve gone through your entire backlog over the last few months and it’s great to see how much you’ve developed as a creator. I actually use your videos a lot to go to sleep, I’ve struggled with insomnia for a few years and always find them really relaxing. Keep up the amazing work and I wish nothing but the best for you going forward!
It really evokes those parasocial feelings, but like in a good way. His videos remind me of being younger and hanging out at a friend's house talking about games we played. Great stuff.
Okay, in defense of the Attack of the Twonkies cliffhanger, remember that the Twonkie that Sheen shrinks with his song isn't available for you to capture after the cutscene is over. I always assumed that was the one this cutscene was referring to.
Even though I grew up with Dexter’s Lab first, I preferred Jimmy Neutron because I thought Jimmy Neutron was more entertaining. Of course the best parts of Dexter was usually the other segments[Justice Friends, TV Puppet Pals, Dial M for Monkey, and the few Koosalagoopagoop episodes]
2:14 EHH And I always liked how after the special aired, Twonkies would appear in the background of future episodes, often in blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moments. A great detail that didn’t go unnoticed as a youngin’.
In regards to Cindy's design, the simplest explanation would be that, instead of making entirely new models for the game, they just reused the ones from the movie game and upscaled them. Basically, they didn't have the time or budget to make a new model for Cindy and went with what they already had.
Cindy's old movie design was in multiple games, some with higher quality models, lower quality models, or just sprite work. I think it's just a matter of outdated design documents the developers receive during preproduction. The character models for the movie game and AotT have very different styles and poly counts. The eyebrows in AotT are modeled, while it looks like they're a flat texture in the movie game. There's also the fact the AotT models have rigs for eye and mouth movements, whereas the movie game models were static.
@@SaltedroastedcaramelTbf I do like Cindy's twin tails I guess it just reminds me another character who had the same hairdo. Or I was just love the Jimmy neutron movie so much that I'm use to it.
Glad to see more of Nitro Rad's Jimmy Neutron videos. Feels like Christmas, already. :) Also, Jimmy Neutron and the Twonkies TV Special... that's a real "Brain Blast" from the past. I can feel the nostalgia, already.
You need to review the Tak trilogy rad! Tak and the Power of Juju, Tak 2 the Staff of Dreams and Tak the Great Juju Challenge! Amazing 3D platformers on GameCube and ps2! Amazing gameplay stories music characters writing and voice acting and personality! Masterpiece of a trilogy!
The only one I had was the Great Juju Challenge, and unfortunately I had no one to play it with. I wish I had played the others tho, they seemed more fun
There’s actually a fourth game. Tak: Guardians of Gross. I used to own it, and it also had a random episode of the show on the PS2 disc as bonus content. Felt pretty bland to me, only problem is the fact that the final levels are pretty tough, which led to me never beating it. I was still a kid so expect me to have sucked at it.
@@FlameOfUdun96 there amazing track down copy’s of Tak 1 and 2! Tak 2 is my favorite! It’s got an amazing soundtrack! I’m trying to get the attention of THQNordic so they can remake them! Tak was on there remake list! Spread the word around so THQNordic can see the demand :)
@CipherRage0909 yeah I can agree not every remaster is good but there are some that have been great like medievil and spongebob bfbb, it really depends on the company and if there gonna be lazy or not.
@CipherRage0909 Idk what Sonic Colors Ultimate has to do with Attack of the Twonkies being remastered. There are plenty of modern remasters and remakes that clearly have lots of care and attention put into them, such as Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated (which is probably a better comparison for Attack of the Twonkies considering they’re both licensed Nickelodeon THQ games, compared to a completely unrelated Sega game).
It's not often we are graced with a licensed game that truly understands and respects the source material it's being based off of, and this is no exception, and the vast amount of one-off inventions the player can make is a nice touch, even if they are sometimes both limited and situational, they really went for more of a quantity over quality for the inventions for the game. Also, this isn't necessarily related to the video, but seeing that purple GameCube upon putting the disc in really makes me more interested in getting a purple variant that I already have been, I'm tired of having all my gaming consoles be a somewhat generic black color.
Honestly, the whole habit of sleek, black, professional-looking consoles has always been a bit boring, and it's kinda funny that, at the very least, Sony is _very slightly_ stepping away from it with the PS5 bein' a Seto Kaiba lookin'-ass And I guess there's ⭐Special Edition⭐ consoles too, but typically those don't [or rather, really shouldn't] appeal to anyone who already owns the system Which makes me think of how funny it is that Nintendo, while it has a habit of being somewhat laughable with the strength of its hardware [and its public relations], almost always seems to be good about breaking the mold with the design of its systems Like, you compare the N64, Gamecube, Wii, and Switch to its competition and they really stand out, to the point that, while all the ones whose names don't start with a W were never really the best-sellers, they're sure to not be forgotten And then there's the WiiU, that will only be remembered for failure, I fear the day I become one
I think I remember my first gamecube being a purple one. Either that or it was black. I dunno. For some reason, when I think of the standard color of the gamecube, I think of purple.
@@robertkovarna8294 The GameCube we have was basically a hand me down, so, there was no choice in what color to get, plus, this was when the GameCube was no longer being sold in stores. The color we have is a black GameCube, and it came with the Game Boy Player, but not the disc for it.
@@robertkovarna8294 I did eventually get the Game Boy Player startup disc earlier this year, as well as official component cables for the Nintendo GameCube, which, trust me, were not cheap in the slightest.
We actually have this one at home, I remember liking it, but being disappointed with the final boss and the lack of replay (something the Ape Escape series lets you do). I'm surprised you didn't mention how the Bat Outta Heck ride was it's own level, but it was just a cutscene.
@@captaineli2461 Oh. I love the Ape Escape series and watch Nitro Rad's Platform videos because their really entertaining and good. Clearly I didn't get the thought behind that comment. Was hoping for it to be explained by the user. Thanks for hopefully clearing it up.
Games like this remind me why I loved many of the Nickelodeon games growing up, not all of them were good but many of them really felt like you were playing in the world of the show. I loved this game but I remember being disappointed that there was no way to replay levels in this game because it was so close to the show, I just wanted to spend more time in each area. I probably replayed the game more times just for that reason alone.
I never really put much thought into title screens and menus until watching your videos, but it totally makes sense and is really cool the way you highlight them, since they're really the first impression you get of a game and the level of care that went into it
Hey, I know this isn't the best place to put this, but I always admired how sincere your videos feel! It's really cool to see someone do an in-depth breakdown on games that most people would brush aside, or would just briefly talk about every game in a single shorter video. But also, I know ya probably won't remember this, but back at Hal-Con 2019 I asked you for a bit of advice on how I could try expressing my views of games in video format (If this rings any bells I was cosplaying Yu Narukami from Persona 4), and while I still feel I'm trying to figure myself out. Seeing new stuff from someone who gave me the push I needed. It really brings a smile to my face. ^.^
I really, really am happy to see a childhood game of mine get talked about in a good manner that's both fair, and critical. I remember replaying this game over and over and over as a kid, because it hit the right notes for me and made me happy to replay it over and over.
I have only vague, at best ambivalent memories of the show, but it's delightful to see the joy the accuracy of the game brings to a bigger fan like James.
I only ever played the shitty GBA game as a kid, I didn't even know there was a GCN version of it until you started this marathon. Very interesting stuff!
I swear, I always get so excited when this guy appears in my subscription box. There's just something about his "energy" (for lack of a better word) that I just resonate with!
Honestly I wholeheartedly agree with the stance on licensed games, you can only see so much of a setting regularly because it’s limited to what the writers let the viewers see and explore through the characters, whilst games can let you look through every nook and cranny to your hearts content and that’s why I’ve always seen licensed games in a more positive light
I heard a lot of Ape Escape in this video; a coverage of the series would be fantastic to see on this channel. As for this video, it's always great to see callbacks to your previous videos like the Frogger mention as well as those little personal experiences you slip in. It's great when you get a licensed game that captures the charm of it's property, and if 22:49 is any indication, the humour is as hilarious as the animation is as on-point.
Literally one of my favorite games as a kid. I played this until the GameCube disk broke and would only let me past the first part until it would crash.
This game I actually played quite a lot as a kid. The Retroland level was my absolute favorite, and I loved the homages to classic video games in the arcade.
Yeah, generally when a game that's based on a special episode of a series, the game starts preproduction roughly around the same time the episode starts preproduction. Team usually gets a rough summary of what the episode is about and general assets and such from the series as a whole. Then as the episode goes through production, the team gets more and more info as the episode gets set in stone. Still doesn't explain why Cindy is based on her movie model though, series already had 2 seasons and multiple games. Don't know how that kept getting lost in translation.
I can confidently say that Nitro's channel is now my favorite of all the video game essay ones. The golden standard by which I measure the rest now lol
I’ve loved your entire Jimmy Neutron marathon but I’ve been excited as hell for this one especially, this was my childhood on GameCube and I’m happy you enjoyed it! Definitely the best of the Neutron games, I’d spend ages in the arcade because of how fun it was. Solid as always man! (Also I’m so happy you mentioned the special being like Gremlins, maybe I’m on the wrong part of the internet but whenever people mention the game or special I never see anyone talking about that? Really awesome thing I personally enjoyed hearing you mention)
Man glad to see this game being covered, this is the best Jimmy Neutron game that was made and I know cause I played it as a kid, very fun and definitely filled the Jimmy Neutron void in game form I was looking for at the time.
Have you ever covered the Ape Escape franchise on your channel? Feel like I've heard you mention them a lot, maybe now would be a good time to dive into those ones. Great video as always. I look forward to your old school videos, reminding me of games I had as a kid that not a lot of people talk about these days.
I loved this game so much as a kid. Even going back to it recently, I still found myself having a damn good time! Found a lot of the jokes stuck better this time around lol
Never watched Jimmy neutron but it's been really fun seeing you talk about a series you're passionate about. I swear you could make a video about anything and it would be interesting.
The golden age of licensed games, yeah a lot of them sucked but every once in a while you got a pretty good one and it just transported you into whatever property flawlessly. Kinda miss it, even if most of these titles were shovelware.
God, this is such a nostalgia trip. I bought a GameCube this year to relive my childhood and replayed this game a few weeks ago. I hope you review Nicktoons Unite, as that game was also nostalgic.
this got me ordering myself a copy. as a 10 year old. I only had jet fusion. and I loved it despite how odd it was. just cause the creation of the weapons and using Goddard made me feel like I was a step closer to interacting with the cartoon. i may not be a 10 year old anymore. but at least as an adult I can appreciate it through the eyes of what a developer would be thinking
Clicked on this so fast, one of my childhood games, fav games, really underrated game in my opinion, up there with like Tak and BFBB in my opinion, love this game, so happy you're reviewing this, needed it as times have been rough, thank you!
fun fact! that twonkie that escapes at the end of the special shows up from time to time in the background of some scenes. i remmeber seeing him in some epsiodes and always getting excited cause i loved that special
Hey dude, thanks for making this series! A huge callback to my childhood. Will you be doing the Fairly Odd Parents and Spongebob games too? I’d be curious to see your take on Shadow Showdown and Revenge of the Flying Dutchman
For a shamless advert for a TV episode that was a shameless advert for this game, it's surprisingly good. Now if only I could finish it one day. My disc is messed up.
I’m sick in bed and have been binging your jimmy videos for hours; I love your laid back vibe and it’s helped soothe me back to sleep to catch up on all that I missed. You’re a great youtuber man, keep up the great work
I love how there is an option in the menu for rocket controls, which is for the second level. But even after that level is over, that option appears in the menu for the rest of the game. I always just found that strange.
Not surprised at how high-quality this game is after finding out it was handed off to the same studio that made the amazing Spongebob party game Lights Camera Pants.
You know the one thing that made me feel really smart one I was younger. For the first Boss you can launch the invention into the boss if you use the seesaw to launch it.
Just beat this game a few days ago and I never even knew about the spin jump, lol. And for the monkey on the ceiling fan part, I probably spent 30 minutes thinking some special gadget or invention was needed to get the him off the fan just to see the button on the wall lol. Overall great game though, I really enjoyed it
I just wanted to say that this video explained something weird I’ve always thought. Whenever I’d see a walk cycle like the one in this game, I’d always think “Jimmy Walk” and I could never figure out why, but I guess I completely forgot about this game but somehow remembered Jimmy Neutron’s walking animation for some reason.
Attack of the Twonkies was the BEST game growing up. It was just hard enough to be challenging but also fun at the same time. The settings and colors are so vibrant and memorable, the dialogue is genuinely funny, and the missions are so fun without becoming repetitive. The music is great too!! Just love it so much!!!
I had this game as a kid and oh my god it just did so many things right. I was super excitedly waiting for you to cover this game when you started this series and it is a brain blast revisiting it!
This game was so much fun when i was a kid, i really hope that nickelodeon allows for a remaster of this game. It was made by THQ and THQNordic have been pretty competant with their remakes, so it’s be cool for them to do it. And considering that the show was literally made with prerendered materials, they could probably make it look exactly like the actual show.
Tips on the bosses here: Playground- Use the teetertotters to launch the super invention into its head. Frozen Lake- Launch the pucks at the barrier and burn both its feet to make it fall, then shoot its face. Rollercoaster- IDK, try getting directly under it. Played this game as a kid and loved it.
Man, while I didn't watch Jimmy Neutron all that much when compared to other shows, it was one show I always loved to watch! Seeing a kid making all these inventions, like the gummies that make you super smart on a specific subject, or the robo-salesman, or a day rewinder so that every day would be his birthday, or when he was building a ton of toys to keep his dad on a job so they don't have to move away, it was a really cool and creative show! All the characters were either weird or funny or interesting in their own way, and the entire town was full of interesting places... though the concept of exploring Retroville in a video game never came to my mind. I was still unaware of the concept of licensed video games. Never really saw the specials... But I do remember having watched the movie... on a rented DVD even, I think! Aw man, rental stores, there was one that was really close to my home, our go-to place for renting cool movies and stuff... but the place closed down about 10 years ago.
Those announcements of each level remind me of the intros for the shorts that were made to promote the movie, like Cookie Time or Hyper Corn! I bet it was fun for Hugh's voice actor to be the narrator again for a game.
I Got SLAPpED with nostaliga seeing this pop up in my feed! Its gremlins and I love it Nitro! I have no idea if these are out of your range, but I would love it if you covered the clue finder series! I have yet to see ANY ONE cover these learning games that I grew up with and I feel you would give them the jutice they desirve!
25:50 I love the attention in the animation that looks like the pose Jimmy does when he’s explaining something I think in the show if that’s what he’s doing in that scene amazing
Fun fact: the music was actually made by the same composer from the show and the script was also written by one of the writers of the show, the same one that wrote the original special in fact, which is something none of the previous games had so i guess that helps explain why it feels so much more faithful.
One of the songs from the game made it into the show actually!
@@skapokonroll Wow, that's good to know.
@@skapokonroll Do you know which song it was?
@@borttheattorney6012 Speed Sneakers, which also appears in the episode Who Framed Jimmy Neutron when the trio gets chased by a bear

I would absolutely love to see a series of Ape Escape videos. Ape Escape 2 was my childhood!
Literally one of my favorite games as a kid. I played this until the GameCube disk broke and would only let me past the first part until it would crash.
@CipherRage0909 damn, wish I could still get it on GameCube. Guess I gotta emulate it. Lucky bastard lmao
This game I actually played quite a lot as a kid. The Retroland level was my absolute favorite, and I loved the homages to classic video games in the arcade.
Yeah, generally when a game that's based on a special episode of a series, the game starts preproduction roughly around the same time the episode starts preproduction. Team usually gets a rough summary of what the episode is about and general assets and such from the series as a whole. Then as the episode goes through production, the team gets more and more info as the episode gets set in stone. Still doesn't explain why Cindy is based on her movie model though, series already had 2 seasons and multiple games. Don't know how that kept getting lost in translation.
I can confidently say that Nitro's channel is now my favorite of all the video game essay ones. The golden standard by which I measure the rest now lol
I’ve loved your entire Jimmy Neutron marathon but I’ve been excited as hell for this one especially, this was my childhood on GameCube and I’m happy you enjoyed it! Definitely the best of the Neutron games, I’d spend ages in the arcade because of how fun it was. Solid as always man! (Also I’m so happy you mentioned the special being like Gremlins, maybe I’m on the wrong part of the internet but whenever people mention the game or special I never see anyone talking about that? Really awesome thing I personally enjoyed hearing you mention)
1:40 hearing the sims bustn out music and seeing this game again opened and huge crate of nostalgia for me. Loved the review!
Oh man this game was favorite Nicktoons game when it came out growing up, it's one of the few games I can quote word from word even to this day lol.
I just love your enthusiasm about this game and this show, that was such a genuine smile on your face at the end.
Man glad to see this game being covered, this is the best Jimmy Neutron game that was made and I know cause I played it as a kid, very fun and definitely filled the Jimmy Neutron void in game form I was looking for at the time.
Have you ever covered the Ape Escape franchise on your channel? Feel like I've heard you mention them a lot, maybe now would be a good time to dive into those ones. Great video as always. I look forward to your old school videos, reminding me of games I had as a kid that not a lot of people talk about these days.
He hasn't done the Ape Escape games, but AntDude has done all three of them.
Love ape escape would love a remaster
I loved this game so much as a kid. Even going back to it recently, I still found myself having a damn good time! Found a lot of the jokes stuck better this time around lol
Never watched Jimmy neutron but it's been really fun seeing you talk about a series you're passionate about. I swear you could make a video about anything and it would be interesting.
I'm glad ya finally got the chance to play this, it's one of my childhood games and it's truly the best Jimmy Neutron game ever lmao
This game is one of the few licensed games that I’ve went back to and felt it was still as good as when I first played it. It’s really impressive.
The golden age of licensed games, yeah a lot of them sucked but every once in a while you got a pretty good one and it just transported you into whatever property flawlessly. Kinda miss it, even if most of these titles were shovelware.
Simpsons hit and run is a good example of one that's really good!
@@MasterSorez Battle for Bikini Bottom too
Just found this.. thank you, for a very real review from a person who actually played it AS A KID. Much appreciated. (from one of the devs)
God, this is such a nostalgia trip. I bought a GameCube this year to relive my childhood and replayed this game a few weeks ago. I hope you review Nicktoons Unite, as that game was also nostalgic.
My one major gripe with this one is no level select. Still, man this was a major nostalgia blast. 🥰
between rescue jet fusion and Jimmy Timmy power hour this was my favorite special/ game
Oh man I've been waiting for this one!
Edit: finished watching it,another great video as usual! can't wait for the next one!
This game was GOATed.
This is my first time really seeing this game and WOW! The in-game animation is so fantastic, incredibly polished!
Honestly, if they made a modern Jimmy Neutron game in a similar style to Ratchet & Clank I would be all over it. Lmao
14:38 The casual "blink-and-you'll-miss-it" delivery of this line was fantastic.
Seeing "Twonkies" in the title filled me with so much nostalgia. My PS2 day memories are flooding back. This was an absolute masterpiece.
I love looking at the background of the video and finding all the different bionicle stuff. It's great
One of my favorite games of all time. Shot you a sub :) Glad to see more people cover and appreciate this game that means so much to me.
Twonkies sounds like a slur for an extraterrestrial being
this got me ordering myself a copy.
as a 10 year old. I only had jet fusion. and I loved it despite how odd it was. just cause the creation of the weapons and using Goddard made me feel like I was a step closer to interacting with the cartoon. i may not be a 10 year old anymore. but at least as an adult I can appreciate it through the eyes of what a developer would be thinking
Let's Goooo! I'm excited to see how this video turns out! Really like your videos!
Clicked on this so fast, one of my childhood games, fav games, really underrated game in my opinion, up there with like Tak and BFBB in my opinion, love this game, so happy you're reviewing this, needed it as times have been rough, thank you!
DUDE I remember playing this on ps2 when I was younger I never finished it but I remember having fun thanks for the nostalgia
fun fact! that twonkie that escapes at the end of the special shows up from time to time in the background of some scenes. i remmeber seeing him in some epsiodes and always getting excited cause i loved that special
Hey dude, thanks for making this series! A huge callback to my childhood. Will you be doing the Fairly Odd Parents and Spongebob games too? I’d be curious to see your take on Shadow Showdown and Revenge of the Flying Dutchman
For a shamless advert for a TV episode that was a shameless advert for this game, it's surprisingly good.
Now if only I could finish it one day. My disc is messed up.
Dude, this is the only channel I love so much that I watch every video immediately and never skip the adds.
Really wish you uploaded more but I also get it you are a human. Just love the videos and have been here for like 2 years.
I’m sick in bed and have been binging your jimmy videos for hours; I love your laid back vibe and it’s helped soothe me back to sleep to catch up on all that I missed. You’re a great youtuber man, keep up the great work
I love how there is an option in the menu for rocket controls, which is for the second level. But even after that level is over, that option appears in the menu for the rest of the game. I always just found that strange.
This game kinda feels like a “Directors cut”, of the special.
Not surprised at how high-quality this game is after finding out it was handed off to the same studio that made the amazing Spongebob party game Lights Camera Pants.
no way, i loved that game as a kid :D
You know the one thing that made me feel really smart one I was younger. For the first Boss you can launch the invention into the boss if you use the seesaw to launch it.
3:05 Hugh's dummy actually becomes a villian in a later episode. This was meant to be the Chekov's Gun for later
I remember really liking the GBA version too as a kid. Really happy to see you still like this game!
I used to love plaything this game when I was young!
Ooh nice!! I had no idea there were more games to cover I thought this was the final one!
I still remember the "we all can sing except shinn" song from the special. It was so freaking hilarious.
The little animation with the boxes and little cartoon nitro rad was fucking hilarious
thanks for the nitro rad episode I love the way you make them
Just beat this game a few days ago and I never even knew about the spin jump, lol. And for the monkey on the ceiling fan part, I probably spent 30 minutes thinking some special gadget or invention was needed to get the him off the fan just to see the button on the wall lol. Overall great game though, I really enjoyed it
Yeah! Nitro Rad with another Jimmy Neutron vid! Thanks man it was awesome (:
I just wanted to say that this video explained something weird I’ve always thought. Whenever I’d see a walk cycle like the one in this game, I’d always think “Jimmy Walk” and I could never figure out why, but I guess I completely forgot about this game but somehow remembered Jimmy Neutron’s walking animation for some reason.
The little black and white scene with you jumping around was SO smug and I absolutely love it, by the way!
I regret not watching this video sooner. Attack of the Twonkies was a big part of my childhood
Attack of the Twonkies was the BEST game growing up. It was just hard enough to be challenging but also fun at the same time. The settings and colors are so vibrant and memorable, the dialogue is genuinely funny, and the missions are so fun without becoming repetitive. The music is great too!! Just love it so much!!!
Man hearing the glover music in your outros always hits me with nestolga
I had this game as a kid and oh my god it just did so many things right. I was super excitedly waiting for you to cover this game when you started this series and it is a brain blast revisiting it!
Why must you unlock these memories from the deepest crevices of my brain?
Thanks. Good video.
This game was so much fun when i was a kid, i really hope that nickelodeon allows for a remaster of this game. It was made by THQ and THQNordic have been pretty competant with their remakes, so it’s be cool for them to do it. And considering that the show was literally made with prerendered materials, they could probably make it look exactly like the actual show.
Thank you for another great video Nitro!
Tips on the bosses here:
Playground- Use the teetertotters to launch the super invention into its head.
Frozen Lake- Launch the pucks at the barrier and burn both its feet to make it fall, then shoot its face.
Rollercoaster- IDK, try getting directly under it.
Played this game as a kid and loved it.
I thought I was the only one who played this game. Glad to see people look fondly on it today
Happy holidays Nitrorad!
Man, while I didn't watch Jimmy Neutron all that much when compared to other shows, it was one show I always loved to watch! Seeing a kid making all these inventions, like the gummies that make you super smart on a specific subject, or the robo-salesman, or a day rewinder so that every day would be his birthday, or when he was building a ton of toys to keep his dad on a job so they don't have to move away, it was a really cool and creative show!
All the characters were either weird or funny or interesting in their own way, and the entire town was full of interesting places... though the concept of exploring Retroville in a video game never came to my mind. I was still unaware of the concept of licensed video games. Never really saw the specials... But I do remember having watched the movie... on a rented DVD even, I think!
Aw man, rental stores, there was one that was really close to my home, our go-to place for renting cool movies and stuff... but the place closed down about 10 years ago.
Those announcements of each level remind me of the intros for the shorts that were made to promote the movie, like Cookie Time or Hyper Corn! I bet it was fun for Hugh's voice actor to be the narrator again for a game.
You always make my day when I see an upload from you man, just got such a chilled out and positive view on games. Gonna be a nice half hour!
I Got SLAPpED with nostaliga seeing this pop up in my feed! Its gremlins and I love it
Nitro! I have no idea if these are out of your range, but I would love it if you covered the clue finder series! I have yet to see ANY ONE cover these learning games that I grew up with and I feel you would give them the jutice they desirve!
I gotta say, the new THQ is the biggest 180 in gaming history.
13:29 Jimmy using Goddard to sniff out his classmate's drugs
25:50 I love the attention in the animation that looks like the pose Jimmy does when he’s explaining something I think in the show if that’s what he’s doing in that scene amazing
I love how that at 1:04 there's just music from The Sims Bustin' Out
