In 2005, Destroy All Humans! would arrive courtesy of Pandemic Studios. Mixing alien tech, human destruction and explosive action, was it fun?

Found this while going through some stuff & setting up my new desktop (I can finally play modern PC games again... For now...)
It's a cool little reminder of what was.
I dunno - if she doesn't already have one, would @DirtyEffinHippy want it? (To be clear, giving not selling)
New video is up, despite my desktop dying today!
This special video is a version of my CGSA 2026 presentation examining combined, or recombined, nostalgia in modern retro indie titles!
Special thanks to @MIXPublishing and @Retroware for the copies of Rugrats and AVGN 8-Bit!
Also, shout-out to @iam8bit , @DigitalEclipse , @cinemassacre , @stopskeletons , @PatTheNESpunk @GamingHistorian , and @FrankAtHPP who all appear or contributed to my research here in some way!
Additional shout-out to @Programancer and @megacatstudios for their work on AVGN 8-Bit!

Okay, I can't believe I have to say this, but people do realize that 'chud' is an insult, right? Like, with horror movie origins/connotations?
You're not 'reclaiming' it by self-identifying as one; you're just openly signaling that people should avoid and shun you
