Your artwork in Paint is pretty good. I'd honestly buy some of those drawings if you made them into posters, Dark Lord. Would you ever consider doing that?
I DEFINITELY SECOND THAT!!!!! I did some pretty fucking awesome work in MS paint myself, artwork of Zim from, obviously, invader Zim, but MY GOD JADOW YOUR SHIT BLOWS MINE AWAY!!!!!.........
I know an indie game that I think you'll enjoy. It's called HuniePop and it's gotten very positive reviews so far. But it's a VERY mature game and the Steam version is censored but the developers released a patch that you can download to uncensor it.
Digihom AT LEAST COULD MAKE THEIR ENEMIES MOVE IN SLAUGHTERING GROUNDS!!!!! NOW THEY'RE LITERALLY TOWERS WHOSE ONLY MOVEMENT CONSISTS OF SWIVELING!!!!!........
I always love it when someone makes an adventure (or in this case, a mystery) game using RPG Maker. At least the ones I've found don't cost money! ...Aside from Victim of Xen, but I haven't dumped money on that, so I'm not counting it (plus, I think it's actually, you know, an RPG). BTW, love your stuff. Totally subbed.
Psst--a thermal is a pocket of warm air that helps keep certain types of birds--and by extension, gliders, etc.--airborne. It's...kind of amazing that the developer actually made the effort to include that in the game!
+Darklordjadow1 Truly a shame... He clearly knows a lot about paragliding, but still needs to learn a lot when it comes to making a game. However, with more experience, he could probably make a really good simulator!
Not gonna lie. Your Ms paint art looks pretty decent. The red caped robot looks especially nice with the rendering. Have you considered downloading another drawing programme to use? Firealpaca is pretty good, and it's free.
Was pretty happy to see my request wasn't one he after seeing the first itch.io fellow.... Well this vol.3 was actually not that bad and to be honest a pretty nice 'trilogy' to say the least and do hope to see you review more indie reviews in the future jadow.
I actually have a copy of Echelon, complete in the box. I tried to get it to work for like, ten minutes and gave up. I should probably go and try and get it to work and see how it is, maybe even review it. PS: If you want an actually good submarine game, you should try the demo for AquaNox if you want something with arcadey action, or Jane's 688i if you want something so realistic you could probably pilot a real submarine by the time you finish it.
Dredd actually is a pretty good film. Definitely recommend it. Stay away from the Stallone one, though. Don't know who's idea it was to have Judge Dredd, a character who never shows his face, wear the helmet for a fifth of the film or so.
+El Critico Molesto Too late; already seen the Stallone one. I've heard that Stallone actually really wanted to do the movie correctly and leave the helmet on the whole movie, but the people in charge basically said "We're paying for a huge star- we're going to show his face!" That's the least of the movie's problem though.
***** It's like doing Thor without his helme-- oh shit. The film iself has very few redeeming qualities. I think I know the problem you're talking about, though... Rob Schneider.
El Critico Molesto Yup; Rob Schneider is a very significant problem. I'd argue a bigger problem is that the movie pretty much abandons the really cool setting that we're shown at the beginning of the movie.
***** I'd say that too, but we've seen that type of setting quite a few times (Blade Runner, Demolition Man, Super Mario Bros., The Fifth Element), so while it sucks, it's not the biggest loss. Now, Rob Schneider on the other hand...
Yeah, but it's only 100 dollars. It's been in place for a long time- it hasn't dissuaded people. Jim Sterling has a series "Best of Steam Greenlight Trailers" if you need further proof that it's not a deterrent
@5:54 "Okay. First, what the hell is MLG? And don't answer, because nobody cares." Here's a correction: "And don't answer, because nobody, except for professional, long-running eSports players, cares."
Got two questions for you:1: Did any of these Steam games in any of these Indie reviews do ANYTHING right? And 2: This is going to sound off topic, but since you like Kamen Rider, what's your opinion on Power Rangers? And following that, do you think you'd check out the PS2 game Power Rangers: Super Legends? (I know, not related to Steam, but it was on my mind.)
+Dustin Jackson (DJNetwork) Spermination from the first special was a technically competent shooter- it just had God-Awful objectives that wasted the solid mechanics. Dive to the Titanic had good controls that seemed to simulate an actual submarine pretty well, but those good controls were wasted on everything else being garbage. Every now and then a game will do one thing right that just gets buried under all the rest of the crap in the game. The only Kamen Rider series I've seen or been interested in is Kamen Rider Dragon Knight, just for clarification- I haven't checked out the other series and currently don't have the inclination to- I've got so much other stuff going on that I watch. I don't remember much about Power Rangers (haven't watched it since the first series when I was a kid) and I remember it being really corny. I prefer Dragon Knight's solid compelling choreographed martial arts fights and character-driven and serious story over what I remember of Power Rangers: effects-driven robot battles and a fluff story. That may not be fair since I haven't seen the series in a long time, but it's my opinion.
+Darklordjadow1 Well, at least some games do ONE thing right, just a shame everything else is a mountain of shite.Sometimes, Rangers can have very good story (I've heard Dino Charge is pretty good) but it can be incredibly cheesy (and I've heard Megaforce is AWFUL). Also, how do you get those paragraph breaks in? I've been hitting enter to break up paragraphs, and it doesn't work.
Dustin Jackson Yup; it's just that much more sad when one good thing gets wasted. Glad to hear Power Rangers did evolve in some series. I don't know what to tell you about paragraph breaks; I just press Enter twice and it adds the paragraph break like you were typing in Microsoft Word. What are you doing to type these messages?
Too late I'm afraid. I'm now seven episodes into the Dark Side of Steam. The real question is what do I name a series where I look at good Steam games...
"Not good enough to get on steam" Its sad how that statement is now just flat out wrong. There is nothing that isn't good enough to get on Steam now-a-days.
+Taiya001 They exist because anybody can make games with no oversight. Steam doesn't pull games unless they're offensive (don't look too deep into Yohjo Simulator- it will make you really mad) or copyrighted material. Otherwise: anything goes. Hope you don't mind- I changed out my wallpaper to my drawing of the Steamlord (pun not intended) for the video. I figured those photos were between us.
I'm glad you're back to making videos, i always save up like 10 of them and binge watch them in one day. Thanks for the work man, keep it up.
As long as Steam continues to maintain a lack of quality control, there could be an endless amount of videos dedicated to this subject.
+shnick1990 Enough to sustain an infinite number of TH-camrs.

Yes, Yes it is... (in regards to Dredd being a great movie!)
I don’t really draw in a drawing program, I do things practically pencil and paper to get a general idea before tracing
Ah the open market, for every undertale there's an air control, for every shovel knight there's an earth 2066. And that's the open market for ya.
+starwars90001 Yes indeed; but for us online critics it's an endless goldmine.
Will you ever do a "Dark Side of the App Store"?
Unlikely... that mess is a jungle, man.
With games like "Elsa's Zombie Baby", I can see why.
*****
I shouldn't ask, but what the hell is Elsa's Zombie Baby?
I've never played it, I only heard of it and saw videos on it, but basically Elsa from Frozen has a zombie baby and the game is you birthing it.
*****
A game about giving birth to a zombie... that is dumb
3:51 is my favorite part of this review.
That jaw drop is stunningly amazing.
Why is the game listed on TH-cam Gaming as "Namco Museum?" That doesn't even have anything to do with the video at all!
Random viewer/indie developer: "Hey LordJadow, do you want to review my game?"
LordJadow: So you have chosen... DEATH
Digihom AT LEAST COULD MAKE THEIR ENEMIES MOVE IN SLAUGHTERING GROUNDS!!!!! NOW THEY'RE LITERALLY TOWERS WHOSE ONLY MOVEMENT CONSISTS OF SWIVELING!!!!!........
"...but you can't just leave two entries in a series out there, it needs to be a trilogy..."
OH THE STEAM BURNS
I always love it when someone makes an adventure (or in this case, a mystery) game using RPG Maker. At least the ones I've found don't cost money! ...Aside from Victim of Xen, but I haven't dumped money on that, so I'm not counting it (plus, I think it's actually, you know, an RPG).
BTW, love your stuff. Totally subbed.
Here's a Steam game i'd love to see you review: Freedom Planet.
"Dive to the Titanic" was ahead of its time
That mspaint optimus is really good
Are you and Sterling some form of masochist?
"MasochistS" PLURAL as you are addressing two people.......
Honestly your ms paint drawinfs are pretty good looking. Especially that Red Dragon Archfiend
Psst--a thermal is a pocket of warm air that helps keep certain types of birds--and by extension, gliders, etc.--airborne. It's...kind of amazing that the developer actually made the effort to include that in the game!
+Christina S Yeah; he put a lot of effort into making the game realistic... trouble is that's the only thing he put any effort into.
+Darklordjadow1 Truly a shame... He clearly knows a lot about paragliding, but still needs to learn a lot when it comes to making a game. However, with more experience, he could probably make a really good simulator!
Christina S
He could indeed make a really good simulator. Step 1: FINISH THE GAME!
Not gonna lie. Your Ms paint art looks pretty decent. The red caped robot looks especially nice with the rendering. Have you considered downloading another drawing programme to use? Firealpaca is pretty good, and it's free.
If you have to pay actual money for these games, I'm so so so so sorry. But thanks for taking the hit for us. :-)
Holy shit, your MS Paint pictures are damn good. i use Paint Tool Sai, with an Intuos Wacom tablet.
and i can't recreate that
Oh we have the same drawing tablet, how good are you 😃
i wouldn't exactly say i'm good. XD
Also Titanic Mystery does a better job conveying the feel of the actual Titanic then Dive to the Titanic!
god dang you're amazing in MS Paint!
I love these specials
impressive ms paint art, cheers!

El Critico Molesto
Yes, very valid point
pls review 'tales of destruction'. its a pre-made asset city with 9 levels and 2 guns. and 1 of the guns doesn't shoot.
if i saw correctly steam now requires you to pay a fee to get on greenlight.
Yeah, but it's only 100 dollars. It's been in place for a long time- it hasn't dissuaded people.
Jim Sterling has a series "Best of Steam Greenlight Trailers" if you need further proof that it's not a deterrent
Thankfully Digital Homicide is dead as a doornail.
Do you think you could review Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects?
+Will Stewart It's not high on my priority list; I'm not good at most fighting games.
Where's that NO! scene from? I've been trying to find it.
If it's the "NO" scene I'm thinking of, it's from Freakazoid.
*****
Yeah, it's at the end of the part of galactic hitman.
And thanks to the name, i found it!
Question will you ever talk about the FNAF series ?
i dont think hes played those gamee
Darklord is back, yaaaaaaay ^-^

I was hitting enter once. Force of habit. I use Word and a program called WordPad a lot, so it's like a reflex.
So, what's the worst game you've covered in this trilogy? And did you find anything that was worse than Air Control?
here's an idea= instead of "The DarkSide Of Steam", how about "The Steam-ing Piles"?
Too late I'm afraid. I'm now seven episodes into the Dark Side of Steam. The real question is what do I name a series where I look at good Steam games...
1] thanx for replying; greatly appreciated! 2] how's about "Diamonds In The Rough" or "Needles in the Steam-Stack"?
You are most welcome.
Thanks for the suggestions; I think I know how to proceed with the series now.
You named it Steam Gems as I remember.
Hi, I just want to say that Crappy Games Wiki closed down on Fandom, but don't worry, it's on miraheze, just type Crappy Games Wiki Miraheze
Cool! Thanks!
Now I just need to find my page on it...
MLG stands for Major League Gaming, but you already knew that. >:D
I actually dubbed Steams library as an absolute shitfest. Because by this point, it really is just a shitfest of bad games made by bad developers.
“Steam is where the big boys play”
I thought the entire point of this video was to show the contrary lol.
It used to be the high standards for PC gaming, before they opened the flood gates and turned into itch.io or newgrounds only way worse.
MLG=Major league gamer. You're welcome.
use Windows 10 game dvr to record, works great for me
I Love your videos so much dude, keep it up!
4:41, Hopefully you haven't done TikTok or else that would be topped several times over.
pls review RAMBO: THE VIDEO GAME for PC cuz there's only Xbox 360 and PS3 p.s be ready to get pissed off sorry :(. LOVIN UR VIDS KEEP IT UP ! :D
I am not covering Rambo on PC until the price goes down.
Now, if somebody wanted to gift it to my Steam profile...
ohh ok ..... then FireWatch ! (don't worry it's not a bad game and you could use reviewing a good game :) )
Do you have a deviantart account?
Yes, same name without the 1 on it. Not so active on it anymore
oh
"Not good enough to get on steam"
Its sad how that statement is now just flat out wrong. There is nothing that isn't good enough to get on Steam now-a-days.
8/10
Hopefully the rusted steam driven piles of junk won't throw BS copyright claims for you reviewing their rusted steam driven piles of junk.
Why?! Why do you have metroid prime music in your review? Now I want to play metroid prime! Shit.
Technically it's from Metroid Prime 2. I just love the theme from the Torvus Bog Subterranean for anything to do with water.
Well it was a great pick, and a great theme. I just am in a huge metroid mood now.
So you basically said Newgrounds doesn't have good games.
I don't make games cause I don't know how to....I bet my crap games would be something like this shit.
review bully
Bullshit, Jadow. That's not MS Paint. That is too good for MS Paint.
My hand to God; every drawing I showed and claimed during Labyrinth Simulator I drew 100% in MS Paint.
So thank you!
Still, at least all of these are better than No Man's Sky..
Have you ever thought of reviewing a good game, I just think I would go crazy having to play these crappy games
Yeah another set of "awesome" games......why do these games even exist! Geeze the hang gliding one should be a detailed screensaver not a game.
+Taiya001 They exist because anybody can make games with no oversight. Steam doesn't pull games unless they're offensive (don't look too deep into Yohjo Simulator- it will make you really mad) or copyrighted material. Otherwise: anything goes.
