Remember the FATAL RPG? Here's the music video

[Nomad4life]

If you aren't familiar with what the FATAL RPG is, just walk away from this thread now and never look back. Ever. Consider yourself very lucky.

If you do remember it, I've tried to capture the godawfulness of the game in this music video: (Warning: Disturbing images and painfully horrible music)

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TLlbVW-VA0]YouTube - FATAL1.wmv[/ame]

The music playing is the *actual* FATAL theme song that was used to promote the game- I didn't make it up and it isn't a parody. Now you too can re-live the horror of FATAL complete with disturbing images to mirror the [FONT=&quot]corruption of the psyche this abomination of a game has caused us all.

Enjoy [/FONT]

PS- Wasn't sure what forum to put this in. It seemed more RPG-related than genuinely music or video related so I stuck it here.

Didn't watch it. I think the OP will understand why.

 

[doctorhook]

...I'm an idiot. I just started watching it. I shouldn't have.

PS: When did Frank Oz join a metal band?

Oh man, why are things like that so hard to resist?

I avoided watching the video and googled up fatal rpg since I hadn't heard about it.

It appears that it is an RPG that isn't friendly to Eric's Grandma. I stopped there, and I think I made my sanity check.

Hmm, a lot of the artwork is....technically proficient. That is surprising given the low budget feel of that which must not be named. Did you take those images from the actual pdfs or did you hunt the web for images that capture the essence of that which must not be named?

The theme song to that which must not be named, by the way, is some of the worst death metal I've heard.

The song sucks, but that video totally makes me want to get FATAL. Anything that could inspire that sort of imagery has a place on my bookshelf and at least one evening on my gaming table.

Save your life and read FATAL's review first.

It's hard to believe how pathetically and obsessively game author pursues certain themes... the review will probably enlighten you sufficiently to steer away from the product.

In case I haven't expressed myself clearly enough - this is not about game being collector's item because it is so bad. It's more like "let's see how much deviant, racist, hateful, sadistic crap we can stuff inside", plus "I don't like women, so let's make them the subject of our attention", plus "let's show how bad we are at math, history and general use of language". There are a few more items in the review above, but you should have a general picture of the book by now.

Oh, and in case you still consider reading the FATAL, remember what while you can scrape off stuff which sometimes gets glued to the soles of your shoes, you may find it hard to do that with content of stuff you read.

Oh, God, the art *in* the book was executed about as well as the theme song. These were images I found that mirror the hopeless corruption of the psyche the game inspires when trying to make sense of the rules or subject material. They have nothing to do with the actual content of the game- Nobody could make a video about that (except for maybe Uwe Boll.)

Just to make it clear for newbs: FATAL isn't a cutting edge horror game. It is a game about rape, torture, and complex math tables, only worse than any of the three individually. Reading it is the cutting edge horror. Really, the amazing thing about FATAL was that it was the bottom of the barrel in *every* way imaginable. The infamous review is priceless, and a much better read than the game itself which I would stay far, far away from, even if you enjoy train wrecks.

I guess my FATAL experience is now complete. I've read and enjoyed the review a couple of time over the years, I have actually scanned through a few pages of the book itself (which was more than enough), and now I've listened to approximately 25% of its theme song, which I had never heard before.

I'm never getting those brain cells back, you know.
