Maniac (PC) Mike Matei Live

Playing a game called Maniac (PC/Steam) It's a top down GTA type of thing. It's fun if you want to play something braindead for a while.

Nice. Looks like my first drivers license test I failed in 1995.

"WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?! I'M ONLY A HOTDOG! "
That right there, is a T-shirt.

[@chubbycatfish4573]

It really does remind me of GTA 1 and 2.

[@mikematei]

Yes its very similar

[@repairedbongo2233]

Soft jazz music playing as the nuke drops. Maniac indeed.

[@AdamKoskiTetrahedron]

Kinda reminds me of Carmageddon which came out in 97 for PC.

[@dan_evilrobot]

The hot dog man with a Flamethrower, just cracks me up.🤣

[@buboogade8898]

Ahh. Listening to you Mick while playing games myself is so soothing. 😌

[@mikematei]

Oi

[@paulschoess2637]

Mike did you feel the earthquake that hit in Jersey, was it near you?

[@mikematei]

🫨

[@publichearing8536]

​@@mikemateithanks for using the objectively best emoji of all time, this means a lot to us 🫨ies

[@golden_eldorado]

This is GTA 1 on steroids 😁

[@JigglyRoom88]

Good clean innocent fun to be had here.
Watching this just makes me want to play Vampire Survivors for some reason.

[@AlexeyFilippenkoPlummet]

Sorry if it's the wrong place to ask this, but I remember how I loved watching James & Mike Mondays and when Covid hit, I was waiting for a moment when the restrictions are lifted and James & Mike would finally be playing together again. But now I see that Cinemassacre has this new thing "Games with neighbour" or something and J&M Mondays never came back... Why? AVGN just doesn't feel whole w/o Mike.

[@mikematei]

I decided I only want to stream. Audience feedback is instantaneous. It's a superior form of entertainment for me doing it. Arguably not as much for the audience but I want to personally enjoy the process. And waiting weeks for comments to drop on a YT video after filming is an outdated and archaic process.

[@SodBuster642]

Yes...more of THIS

[@Rysarod]

One of the finest releases of 2024 so far, I love this game.

[@GeorginaJungle]

Plus it's only $5 or less if it's on sale.

[@dragonball3166]

Wonder if Erin have conversations like this on her steams? 4:28:41? Weird people in his chat room

[@rofflesvanwagon]

Oh this looks awesome i gotta give it a try. Thanks for the heads up

[@Denjired]

As others probably have mentioned, this is what it's like if you took the Rampage missions out of the Grand Theft Auto games and turned them into a stand-alone game. Sadly it took a few years for me to play those Rampage missions because the European (or maybe only the German version) of Grand Theft Auto III removed several of the features like blood, pedestrians you beat up dropping money, the scrunchy sounds when you drove over a pedestrian and, most importantly, the Rampage missions. Luckily, by simply switching the in-game language to English, you could get the original version of the game with the Rampage missions. Though we still had to live with that crap for Vice City and San Andreas as well.
I recently got my own Steam account and bought a platformer game called Fly'n. Will tell you about it eventually when I tried it out. But for the most part I will use Steam for some nostalgia kicks by playing through some of the point & click graphic adventures I played as a kid like Curse Of Monkey Island, Simon The Sorcerer I & II, Broken Sword I & II while also trying out some games I never got around to playing in that genre like Toonstruck (featuring Christopher Lloyd), Flight Of The Amazon Queen, Beneath A Steel Sky and others.
BTW, the box cover for Sim City on your Games I've Beaten On Stream list does not have a link.

[@johncollins6637]

Mike, you would like the game, Party Hard. You play as a serial killer that goes to various parties

[@publichearing8536]

that hits close to home

[@TheMicker]

Has anyone seen ScrawnyClownSnatch lately? Uh oh!

[@broken1394]

Survive 20 mins?
Did you try the litter picking Mike??

[@Verbalaesthet]

A totally sane game.

[@mikematei]

Mr data would be good at it

[@NoremacDlawso]

You could get the proton pack in gta 2 on ps1, and put your favorite music cd if you did it right.

[@BennyBurrito]

Sign me up for the pirate ship. The S. S. Squoon?

[@panpaletkalg2550]

that idea kinda reminds me of the movie The Boat That Rocked

[@Drag0zard]

@Mike Matei Check out The Legend of Samus: A Metroid Zelda Adventure

[@micaelandrade8514]

a ps5 leather face game would be awesome

[@zombiesouffle]

Long live hotdog guy🌭

[@Nutsandmilk123]

Mike can I poke out your eye so you can wear an eyepatch on the pirate ship???

[@mikematei]

Once we get the ships

[@Spawn3X5]

So Mike plays himself? 😉

[@aaronflament]

Nevet hearf of this Mike looked crazy

[@Rysarod]

Yeah, it just came out March 25th I think, somewhere in that timeframe. It's really a good, fun game and it's only $5 bucks.

[@publichearing8536]

​@@Rysarodreminds me of that medieval gta parody, rustler or something.

[@ZitiPatrol]

Gta 1 and 2 are my favorites tbh because of how innovative it was at its time, you'd just want more of the freedom and factions you can choose from

[@stephanusghibellino]

Hey Matinee

[@mikematei]

👀

[@brianrafferty2122]

Cool game! On anything else?

[@GeorginaJungle]

Looks to be only on Steam. It's a lower budget game so they focused their resources on one platform.

[@richardchase8910]

I put the video on first thing I heard was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa elmo had a bad day, sounds like man baby gaming ha ha ha ha love it

[@joshuasexton3976]

Vanilla

[@Drag0zard]

[@Drag0zard]

[@derretrovirus2345]
