Brain Dead 13 (PC) Playthrough - NintendoComplete

[@heeheeheepsp]

My current animation teacher was the director for this game!! So cool hearing him talking about it only a few months ago, saying how he still gets fan mail for the game! I just had to search it up and watch through the whole playthrough. Honoured to have been taught by him this past year, such an incredible animator.

[@madam-mim]

Awesome. I remember playing it back in the day. It was really hard. 😅

[@maniacaldude]

Cool. Is there a way to get in touch with him?

[@BigK13372]

Let me sum up this game: a survival horror game with a lot of Looney Tunes undertones that is done in the style of Dragon's Lair. Clearly an underrated gem of a game.

[@jimbo1722]

BigK13372 It’s a jolly good show

[@sr.alligator7569]

A couple of animators from this game did work on Space Jam and a few Disney films.

[@jimbo1722]

This comment deserves the best comment award.

[@mr.pendleton7121]

ehh I don’t know about the underrated gem part. Sure the animation is nice, but it’s not really something you need to play these days. You can practically get the same experience from watching a playthrough online that you could playing the game yourself. A big reason games like this died out was that they were nothing more than movies with occasionally quick time events.

I think there was a missed opportunity to make Braindead 13 a fully-fledged cartoon on TV.

[@mrmusickhimself]

I remember being absolutely shocked by the death scenes in this one in relation to its rating. ESPECIALLY the one where Fritz sneaks up behind him, plants his hooks in Lance's eyes, and rips him apart. I was on a field trip in Baltimore when we stopped at a Mall on our way home. I had 20 bucks left, and went to an EbGames where I had a choice between Crow: City of Angels for PSX (I was a HUGE Crow fan at the time) or this. I think I made the right damn decision.

[@edwardsullivan1146]

Here's an idea a petition to get this game a sequel or remake

[@knellycornnan5132]

One thing I was thinking. How on earth can this wannabe call himself a mad scientist and not know how to fix his own master computer. Honestly! *Facepalm*

[@WillieManga]

Alex Stormlight I think it's the fact he has no arms... and he's stuck in a jar... and Fritz' hands don't work.

[@RandumbDoomer]

Yeah, and the Brain is just an... *average*.

[@SpiderandMosquito]

Yeah it's kind of all there in the opening cutscene he's a freaking brain and nothing more and he was shown giving Fritz instructions on how to fix it but it wasn't working because well Fritz doesn't have hands either. And clearly Fritz is kind of stupid He had to call in a specialist That's pretty obvious right there so no plot hole Happening Here. Now how he got in the jar is a question that is more valid how did they manage to build the machine up to this point if he's just a brain in the jar and you know what the answer to that is? Irrelevant. It happened and now they need to call in the specialist

[@spectrumfox]

@@WillieManga This is the best explanation, also what I had assumed playing this as a kid. Whatever Fritz touches gets damaged, so of course they'd need to call in a computer guy.
