Formerly Comics and Globe Watch before becoming two different blogs, those being The Four Color Media Monitor and Tel-Chai Nation, this blog now serves the purpose of posting about computer game news and various other games old and new. Puzzle games are the ones I enjoy the most, and with any luck, maybe I'll update on board games like Monopoly too!



Some Mugen games that give the Family Guy the smashing he deserves

I thought of writing up this post as a little way for anyone who finds the Family Guy cartoon offensive to enjoy seeing it getting trounced. The idea came after recalling an entry by Michelle Malkin in which she mentioned a letter by a correspondent who told how the Family Guy cartoon had become an arm for ultra-leftist propaganda. The thing is, even before its initial cancellation in 2003, it was already very bottom-of-the-barrel, and featured some offensive and even racist jokes, as I recall being reported (I remember that a professor who'd been the series creator's instructor in college took offense at it too). I certainly didn't want anything to do with a TV show as awful as that.

That's why it was such a pleasure to find some of the following Winmugen videos on Youtube that show the Mugen version of the show's repugnant creation, star character Peter Griffin, being handed his head on a silver platter by a few other characters who could just as well have a beef with him, had they existed in real life.

Let's start with this one, in which Mario takes on the awful racist character of The Family Guy:

I see that, in his journey from cartoon series to computer games, Griffin certainly did continue to maintain some loathsome features. That's one more reason why I'm glad Mario beat him! I just wish the player hadn't set the program to take longer to chew off vitality, making it a whole nine minutes.

Next, here's SNK's much overlooked darling, Athena Asamiya, laying the smackdown on creepy Griffin:

Heh heh heh, this one really charmed me. Griffin, learn some respect for women, or get off the planet!!! I just wish there was sound to this (and is it just me, or does the recording stop one second short?).

And then, we've got Chun-Li of the Street Fighter games giving him one really well deserved...well, see for yourself!

Oh yeah, Peter Griffin was asking for that alright! Normally, I cannot stand games like Mortal Kombat (and goodness knows the second game creeped me out), but here, the inclusion of such gimmicks does quite nicely.

So for anyone who finds the Family Guy offensive, I hope you'll enjoy my findings here. In fact, some of the posters at Youtube even say that Griffin is a crap character in these kind of computer game programs. One more reason why seeing him get the crap kicked out of him is quite a pleasure.

Now, I rarely try to send anything on this blog to the various trackback parties on the web, partly because unlike two of my other blogs, I don't have a Haloscan pinger for this blog and it's very hard to send without it, but I'm going to try to send this one to a couple. So...

Open trackbacks: Conservative Cat, Outside the Beltway, Point Five, Right Voices, Samantha Burns, Third World County.

Hope this works out well.
