WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS JUGGALO CRAP?! American McGee is determined to yet again shit the bed with an offering of moronic, hackneyed, poorly made crap in the guise of some insane mashup that will “totally blow your mind, brah”! Now he’s ruining the “Wizard of Oz” because one fairy tale from our youth wasn’t enough. And it’s Steampunk. And it’s zombies. And there’s a Kickstarter. It’s like a Quadfecta of Scybalum.
Let’s look at the concept art he’s posted on the project’s Facebook page, shall we? WTF is this mood board? Did an intern do a Google image search for “Hot Steampunk Bitches”? He didn’t even credit the sources, which if you are in the SP scene know what they are. He’s got a Brute Force corset, which is their signature corset and an art photo from Malefice.net. All uncredited, and then mashed together to make “Dorothy”. This is just lazy and even shows how he’s just re-appropriating a sub-genre to make some cash. You guys. He’s the worst.
Then there are zombies. SURE, why not? No sight of them in the concept art, so not sure how that’s gonna work, or why or whatever. And then he talks about a Kickstarter that is not live, and may also have a second one for the new Alice shitstorm. Is this because no one will give him any money after Bad Day LA?
Here’s what he should make next. Let’s take, um, werewolves, some Juggalos, Jack and the Beanstalk and put em in a blender. There you go, American! Free of charge! Take it or leave it! And you can call it “The Gathering of the Wolfenstein”. Boom.
You know, some people just shouldn’t be making video games.
I wonder if he’s going to have any troubles with that title since it’s also the name of a 2012 zombie movie featuring Osama Bin Laden.
