Saints Row 2: Rabbi Gatstein, reformed

saints row 2, rabbi gatstein video, resigned gamer

Incarceration unsettles even the best of men. Rabbi Gatstein was no exception. Gatstein's time in a locked-down coma following the burning boat-blast betrayal by his gang-banging brethren left him with nothing to do but ponder all the horrible things he'd done. And like a shark forced to stop swimming, with no choice but to face the bloody facts of his existence...well let's just say the guy who came out wasn't the same that went in.




I can't find the original link for this video's inspiration, so here's an embed:


Destructoid goes digging, finds some shit

joe & mac, caveman ninja, the resigned gamer

"Joe & Mac is a little bit Contra, a little bit Mario, and a little bit Street Fighter. It also holds a special place in my heart...if you enjoyed 300 -- you'll probably dig Joe & Mac."
A game time forgot? More like a game time forcibly removed from its memory with a jackhammer. I know it's cool to be all retro and show your SNES cred by dredging up old games you played only because you'd already won all the good ones and the rental store didn't have Tongue of the Fatman in, but this is one hell of a stretch. Has Destructoid actually played this game lately?

I always loved the five second delay between pushing the jump button and actually seeing something happen, while Mac wore his dumb caveman smile as if to gloat that he'd fooled me into letting him into my home. The game was broken, we knew it, and we played it anyway. Can we just leave it back there, or are we gonna be expected to buy it on Wii when all the good games like Universal Soldier and Boogerman have come out.

And one more thing:
"We going obscure on this bitch"
That is total bullshit. Everyone I knew when I was young played this game, and everyone hated it. Come on.
