These are mine. Reason why I have topics to display and messages to display at 25 is to simulate a closer experience to how B.old was. I also use the sidebar as an option because it makes it easier to find what you're looking for rather than using the dropdown in my opinion.

What about you?

There's no pleasure in life. Only pain, hate, suffering, and bullshit.

This game is backwards compatible with the Xbox 360

Developed by Presto Studios, creators of The Journeyman Project, Whacked! was the final game to ship from Presto Studios in 2002 before closing their doors. Their reason for becoming defunct was because at the time, they couldn't compete with console gaming and were strictly more so developers for the PC platform, hence it wasn't an easy transition for them to compete with console titles although Myst III: Exile did get its own Original Xbox port, Whacked! was the only one that was an Only on Xbox exclusive meaning Microsoft owned and still owns the IP rights to it.

Before reviewing, Presto Studios did in some form come back from the dead by reviving and remastering The Journeyman Project, you can find their YouTube channel and more info about that here https://www.youtube.com/user/TheJourneymanProject

The Journeyman Project is most likely what they were best known for in the early 90s and still are best known for that.

Anyway, on with the review. Whacked! is one of those obscure titles for the Original Xbox. Its one of those games that make you question if its even real. It has its own cheese in terms of story, some are humorous, some are flat out disturbing, but not too disturbing since it does have a T rating. Both GameShow mode and Battle mode give you the following difficulty options: Easy, Normal, Hard, and Whacked! Whacked!, being the hardest difficulty.

Story: (contains spoilers)

The story in GameShow mode goes that you are here to compete for a series of light hearted and potentially lethal games, the one with the most wins who survives each game will be winning the prize, which is a complete mystery, no one knows what it is and its heavily guarded behind a vault with a lot of question marks on top.



There are 4 stages to beat with 3 sets of random game types, in each stage, the game times get progressively longer and longer. There are no real penalties for losing, you just have to try again.

Each contestant has its own prize behind the vault when the game ends, after the fact that it is revealed that VanTastic himself is the devil and the whole Gameshow set turns out to be hell. Van did state that at one point in a phone call that there is no prize, and he restates this after the contestant you play as wins and the show gets canceled by his boss as a result.

Basically, you're going to be playing against the host in a game of combat by collecting 200 stars except you have less than 5 minutes to do it If you don't get 200 stars from Van and his minions on time... This is pretty much your ending and you have to try again.

After you beat GameShow mode, VanTastic is an unlocked and playable in Battle Mode.

As for beating the game and winning the prize...

Each contestant has their own prize, I just used Lucky as an example.

Speaking of... Here are all of the contestants in the game:

Gameplay and Battle Mode:



The gameplay itself is in 3rd person and it is fairly simple, it doesn't really require much skill. Even if you set the enemies on Whacked! being the hardest difficulty, you can still beat them, though there are moments where sometimes one or more of the AI players are pretty much bullshit hard regardless, but if you hit play again you can still win if you put effort into it. There are 6 game modes including one hidden one.

Fragfest - Kill the most players in X minutes to win the game! (max is 10 minutes, min is 3 minutes)
Combat - Collect X stars to win the game from either players or you pick them up from the level (max is 200, min is 50)
Dodgeball - Hit players with dodgeballs X times to be the last one standing to win (max is 12 lives, min is 4 lives)
Chicken - Collect the stars from X amount of chickens to win. (min and max numbers are the same as Combat)
King of the Hill - Stand in the green swirly areas that move and appear in the level to win, don't let other players on.
Grab 'n' Run - Similar to King of the Hill except you have to grab the trophy and run for x amount of time, other players will try to kill you, kill players that have the trophy, you cannot use any weapons when you are holding the trophy and you can't squash players. (time limit is the same as Combat)

Uber - Same thing as Combat except you collect 400 stars instead of 200 being the limit. This is a hidden feature in the game that you have to unlock using a code, which I will get to around the end.

The game is a lot more fun with friends in battle mode clearly, having 4 friends with you and 4 controllers means you won't have to set the difficulty and you're all playing against each other:



The game had Xbox Live for online play with 3 other people, but since the Original Xbox server got shut down in 2010, that is no longer the case.

I would get into weapons and explain what they all do, but there's a lot of weapons in the game and half the time I don't even remember all of their names. The baseball bat and the pitchfork are my favorite though. You also have Question marks which can give you a good thing or a bad thing for a short time. Good thing for example would be invulnerability where you are covered in full gold plated armor. The bad thing for example can be is you're set on fire, unless you have the cleaver as a weapon, then its a flaming cleaver making you even more dangerous. You also have the Exclamation Point which when picked up, each character has its own unique special power, except for the Burger, He doesn't have one, and picking one up will do nothing but break the game by having the Exclamation Point on top of you the entire time until someone else or AI picks it up again. Exclamation Points are only available in combat mode and Uber mode and spawn in the level at Random, the announcer will tell you if there is one, like so:

Skip to 3:36 for the special power.

Commercials:

Aside from the in game cut scenes during GameShow mode, the game also had its own commercials after you beat a level or stage, here are some examples of them:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWaEfD3JovE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xAxDLJeDbM

Final Verdict

If the commercials didn't exist in this game I would have probably given it a 6/10 just on the gameplay alone. But for everything else that's in here, I give Whacked! a 7/10. Yes its mediocre, but its a game that I do personally enjoy. You may not like it and consider it to be a bad game, but its not for everybody, clearly. The game of course is a lot more fun with friends. Unfortunately I don't have many real life friends to play this game with so I just play against the AI whenever I'm bored and don't really feel like playing an FPS.

The genre of this type of game would be like Fuzion Frenzy, which would mean Whacked is a Party game.

Cheats and Unlockables

Note: DO NOT delete these profiles when you're done.

Enter the following profile names in GameShow mode to unlock all characters, levels and FMVs in the game:

AROUNDDAWORLD - All Arenas, Weapons and FMVs
DOUBLEDOUBLE - All Characters and FMVs

This is handy if you've already beaten GameShow mode and you don't want to do it all again.

If you want to play as the Burger from the Rehearsal mode, enter FOODFIGHT as a profile name. Go to Battle Mode, Press the white button if you're on the Original Xbox or LB if you're on the 360 while highlighted on VanTastic, and it will reveal the Burger allowing you to select it. Charity, Otto, Toof and Eugene have food or drink alt skins with this as well.

To play Uber, create a new profile in GameShow Mode and enter UBERHUNGARIAN, then go to Battle Mode, set it to combat, 200 stars, and press the white or LB button to change it to Uber, which is essentially combat mode but 400 stars to win the game:

Misc/Other stuff:

http://www.clowar.com/portfolio.php

Whacked is made using the Sprint Engine. There is also a concept character that didn't make it into the game during development, either that or it evolved to being Eugene seeing that he's green:

Soundtrack

While the soundtrack isn't the holy grail of all music, I'd say its fairy decent:

That's my review, hopefully you guys enjoyed reading it, if not, well I'll know when this thread ends up being buried and forgotten with zero replies.

Oh, and you can get the game from here if you want a copy: http://www.amazon.com/Whacked-xbox/dp/B00006JC44

Wow the price is going up for this game. I wonder why? I got mine Factory Sealed for $22 2 years ago.

Alternatively if you have a Jtagged Xbox 360 or a softmodded Original Xbox with a really big hard drive, you can download the game from here: http://www.theisozone.com/downloads/xbox/xbox-isos/whacked--part-1-of-3--usa/

Its in 3 parts, and I would still recommend owning a copy of the game before doing this, because it technically isn't legal to download games you don't own, but this is at your own risk.

You can burn the iso to a DVD or get XisoManager to extract all the files from the iso itself so it can be copied to a softmodded Original Xbox with a large HDD.

And that number is going to go up and down and up.

It may not be 1000 or a million, but that's still an achievement in my eyes. I'm grateful for that. I know I'm not liked here, but at least I'm liked there with the videos I make, and I still make content on there. Not everyone on YouTube can just get 200 subs. At least legitimately. I know there are these bot programs you can sign up for but YouTube has been cracking down on that lately.

With that said, what's your highest internet achievement?

Its not perfect but its functional. You can print any part of the site though its no Sep7agon.

When is Sep7agon going to bring the fucking print button back? Just bring it back Cheat. Even if its for a joke, just bring it back.

It was a German Shepard. It was just minding its own business but I decided to be a sick fuck and end its life. It look all happy and smiling until I blew its fucking brains out with a 9mm. The dog owner saw it all happen and she was reduced to tears and in shock. I think she ended up going to the hospital because of how bad the trauma was of her witnessing me killing her dog.

Hi.

Kinda like an honest opinion of you thread, except completely blunt and harsh with no filter. So some feelings might get hurt, do this at your own risk. I'm rather judgemental so...

Post if you want me to pass judgement on you.

I've learned that being honest, considerate, compassionate, and overall selfless as much as I can be, being truthful, being nice to others, it just gets me hurt.

I keep getting hurt every single time. I would try the exact opposite and lie, cheat, steal, and overall hurt others for my own personal gain, but my autism rather makes it impossible, and on top of that the guilt will eat me up alive.

Why am I like this? Why can't I just kill my own emotions and go cold and not gives 2 fucks about any single person at all? Why am I so fucking blunt? What the fuck is wrong with me?

It should be by choice. Yes. I'm uncircumcised, and I will remain that way for the rest of my life. So fucking what? Why should I get circumcised for someone else? If you're a male and you got circumcised at birth, I apologize for having that right of yours robbed away, because I strongly believe that infant male circumcision is wrong.

I believe it should be a decision in adulthood, and the way I see it, I would never consider circumcision at all. Call it a wormdick, dicks aren't suppose to be ascetically pleasing to begin with, they only have one major function, reproduction.

I think its rather shitty that there are females that prefer one over the other and vice versa, because if you're a female and that's what really matters to you and nothing else does, then find another guy that is circumcised or vice versa if you're someone that only likes to fuck uncircumcised dicks. But for the love of god, never and I mean never make the decision to circumcise your own baby boy at birth, leave that up to him in adulthood.

This is an extreme hot button issue and I'll be honest, I can't help but get pretty heated at it. I think its bullshit, I personally consider it to be genital mutilation, and in all honesty that shit makes me cringe.

If you're a guy and you wanted to make the decision of getting circumcised, that's fine, you made your choice on the matter, but don't speak for the rest of us. Everyone is different, and never get circumcised for a woman. If it matters to her THAT much, she can find someone else.

And the whole aspect with stupid religions doing this to boy children at birth, it makes me physically sick just thinking about it.

That's my two cents on this whole thing. Oh, and removal of the foreskin means you lose a lot of sensitive nerve endings, which plays an important role in male stimuli, and dare I even say, female stimuli even during sex. It will never grow back either, so if you're uncircumcised now and you make the decision to get circumcised and then you regret it later on after the surgery, there really isn't anything you can do about it, it will be too late. So think REALLY wisely about this and that this is something you would really want to do to yourself if you are male or your future baby boy if you are female. Really think about it, because this is a big deal. Male infants can die because of circumcision surgeries going wrong, and it would have been a preventable death even if you just said no.

Discuss and debate.

Scenario:

You're forced to switch lives with one or the other: EnderWolf1013 or PSU. You adopt everything of the person (looks, personality, ambitions, taste in food ect). Everything about you is gone

Who do you choose?

Since we do have an option for paid subscriptions but there aren't any yet, make some up here. What would you pay money for on this website? What kind of feature?

Cheat considers all of my ideas to be shit, so I want to hear yours. Go!

As of right now, this computer came with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti, Manufacturered by EVGA. This came out in 2011. This PC was put together in 2011 actually, but I didn't buy it brand new fresh out of the box until 2012. It is now 2016 and since its a custom rig, I can change the parts. I am looking for any suggestions and recommendations you have. I plan on doing this around the summer time, if not this fall. So from mid July to early September.

Nvidia graphics cards are what I've always trusted, but I am open to other brands, so long as you have vaild points on why they would be better than Nvidia. my budget is around $300-$500 though that might change, but I'm not going to spend over $1000 on this.

What that said, do you have any good suggestions guys? Any cards that you personally strongly recommend? I've been told by others that a 660ti from Nvidia is good and that it supports shadow play which allows me to record games without having to setup any external program, so if I were to get another Nvidia, at the very least, I would get that, however, I would like to hear your thoughts and opinions on what I should get.

I also plan on possibly adding another fan and a blu ray drive.

The fuck brah?
