stormdogOn a Goodwill trip today, I picked up a few Playstation games: among them, a couple of Gran Turismos, and Twisted Metal 3. GT is a little more in depth than I really care to be, though for a couple bucks a piece I figured why not. But the Twisted Metal series is one I spent hours and hours playing with my brothers. I had to grab that one!
Tonight, after hauling a few things out of the basement for a freecycle guy who'll pick them up on Monday (The Intellistation server, my Athlon XP with hand-cut windowed and modded case *sigh*, and a couple of wall mount touch screen systems running Windows NT that I scored from work) and taking a shower, I gave it a try.
It took a few plays to resemble decent at it, but it came back to me and it's a fun mindless distraction. But what really has me is the music. This version actually had some mainstream music in it. The first level's background sound is Rob Zombie's Superbeast. The second though, makes me chuckle every time I get to it. I have no idea what song it is, but there's a repeated part that I can only interpret as "Because we're gay! Gay! Microwave!!!" So of course, I'd loudly join in every time the music got to that part. Unfortunately a Google search for 'we're gay gay microwave' did not turn up anything related, though are are some interesting results.
(And of course, now that I've written this, I had to look the music up. It is microwave! The track is Microwave by Pitchshifter. The lyrics in question are "because we're cut, dried, microwaved".)
So, who wants to play some Twisted Metal with me?
