I’m a man who laughs a lot at pranks. Even if it’s done to myself, maybe I’ll get a little angry, but I’ll laugh a lot at a well-constructed joke. Every time these so-called prank videos show up, I quit my job. One of my favorite cartoons as a kid was Andy. When all these elements come together, I think Neighbours from Hell is becoming the perfect game for me. Especially when the sense of nostalgia of meeting this game as a child comes into play.
The neighborhood I grew up in was probably one of those neighborhoods where they grew up in the last ’90s. I grew up running from morning to night in pursuit of balls until our spleen exploded, taso fights, thief-cop games, and all the life lessons I could learn from the neighborhood. Well, when all these kids got together, there were a lot of pranks going on between us. We took a lot out of each other for what we did to the poor neighbor in the neighborhood, also known as “The MadMan,” and the play inspired us a lot. I’m glad he did today, and we have a ton of memories that we laugh at until we’re tearing up.
The Game Even Moms Watch
Under normal circumstances, mothers don’t come and watch when they’re playing at home. So hitting Headcrab with a crowbar while playing Half-Life may not be of much interest to them. Or they think that when they commit mass murder in the GTA, “I hope he doesn’t become a sociopath when he grows up.” Fortunately, none of us were sociopaths. Tommy Vercetti can be left alone. But at some point we all became pranksters. I know my mom comes and watches me a lot when I’m playing Neighbours from Hell. Because the game was really funny. We were all laughing at what happened to the poor neighbor. In fact, she was so immersed in the game that my mother was even a “backseat player” that might never happen again in history.
The MadMan, sitting in his innocent house, couldn’t make much sense of all the trouble that had happened to him, but if he caught us, he was sure to beat the shit out of him. Maybe the logic of the beating in the game gave us a little nudge not to do the pranks against the older ones. We had some attempts, but they all ended in failure or running faster than ever. Be you, set your escape share well before you prank a big guy, or you might have a good relationship with the cranberry stick. It didn’t happen to me, dear, but a friend told me, and that’s how I know.
If We’re Forbidden, You’re Joking
Let’s just say the real name of The MadMan, Mr. Rottweiler, and our joker’s name is Woody. We never used those names, but when we were talking about the game, I wanted to pay tribute to the poor guy and give Woody a little more laugh. After the first game entered the neighborhood, it gained great popularity not only in our house but also in the homes of many friends. Of course, even mothers have a big part to play in this. So one weekend, when the home phone rang and my friend Told me it was a new game, I was excited. Because it was a class over playing the first game, and we were on summer vacation. Back then, there wasn’t much way to know when the games were going to come out or if they were going to come here. Come on, we could get dates out of game magazines, etc., but is cd-ci sister going to bring that game?
Our choice of games was very limited, so if a brother who went to Kadikoy or Pendik brought a game, we would meet the new game or we would manage everything in the local CD shop. What would be the ideal thing for a summer vacation? Ruining another person’s holiday while we’re subjected to a “no ball in the midday sun” ban in the heat! That’s how we met Neighbours from Hell 2: On Vacation. We were excited because the game was pretty advanced. Now we’d watch more madness on the ship, on the beach, on the island, all over the world, and laugh. So I’ll write it down in the first place so it’s not unfair, I think the second game was a lot of fun, and when I played it later, it gave me more fun than the first one. But when he was playing that summer, he couldn’t create the atmosphere that the first one created. Still, he entertained us a lot in the midday heat ban, not only as a sequel that even mothers watched.
I’m Old
Could it be that Mr. Rottweiler went on vacation with his mother and his girlfriend because the second game wasn’t really kept by the mothers? “My son and daughter-in-law are on vacation, and some maniac won’t give me a break, folks!” Now, looking back at the past 17 years, the memorable scenes of playing the games at that time still manage to make us smile. I’ve played a ton of other games in the meantime, but few have been as much in my mind as The Madman. I still remember the location of the jokes in the first game, the Mr. Rottweiler running to the toilet; I still laugh a lot at his desperation. I think these are great memories for a play, so I’d like to thank the producers of the play here. Thank you, JoWood, for making my childhood so much more fun and making me friends with a cranberry stick!
With this kind of comedy, I crossed paths again. Some were new games, some were even older than Neighbours from Hell, but none of them tasted that way. Maybe Woody’s gestures and making it into a television show made it a little more interesting. I also address Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO Max, Exxen, Hulu and all other streaming services here; Look, there’s a tv show format ready, bring The Mad Man to the screen in the hot summer days ahead! Anyway, game adaptations are one of the most popular inspirations of recent time, and I hope it’s time for dear Woody and poor Mr. Rottweiler.
