Anti-Productivity: The Full House Fighting Game

Yep, a game based on that old sitcom with the Olsen Twins and half of the hosts of American's Funniest Home Videos.

I’m not hesitant, nor ashamed, to admit that during some stretches of bored, idle time, I like to imagine how a show could be translated into the precise and elusive idiom of the fighting game. Sometimes, the hypothetical scenario makes sense. Walk out of Winnie the Pooh and it’s real easy to imagine a Super Smash Bros-style game pitting all the lovable rascals of the 100 Acre Wood against eachother. Other times, the exercise requires some more involved creative solutions… and I’m glad to see this Lucas Zebroski dude’s thinking on the same wave length.

I don’t know if he actually went through the trouble of coding an actual Full House fighting game (and presumably stretching MAME to the utter limit of its power,) but this “game play” footage on his YouTube channel looks mighty convincing. I don’t have much of any nostalgia for this show (I didn’t get on any of that “Countdown to the Olsen Twins being legal” creepiness, either,) so I only vaguely recall the specific this is goofing on. Dave Coulier played a voice actor and John Stamos played a musician, right? I suppose you don’t have to remember all that to appreciate a good goof but…

Ah, just watch the thing if you haven’t already. I don’t need to explain it to you.

He is my least favorite television representation of me.

When Uncle Jesse says, "Have mercy", I WILL HAVE NONE!

that's some long ass fatality!

That was kind of lame. They had a great idea but poor execution.

LTSmashon Sept. 20, 2011 at 4:50 p.m.

Wait. Uncle Jesse's Fatality doesn't summon The Beach Boys?

Fuck you guys. You made me smile.

I like how Joey has his hands permanently attached to his head:)

@lumberingjackal: My thoughts exactly. Perhaps a laugh- &/or emotionally-touched-crowd "awww" track would have been appropriate as well.

TheGreatGueroon Sept. 20, 2011 at 10:41 p.m.

That's almost really awesome.

They should have made this for Boy Meets World, then you could have at least used Vader

godfather19on Sept. 21, 2011 at 7:35 a.m.

That was so great! The time it takes to make this stuff is really worth it.

Sweet.

    A time travel story with no time travel, Sound of My Voice is intimate science fiction with only one concern: constructing a smart, incredibly acted puzzle for viewers to lose themselves in.

    Review
    Sacha Baron Cohen tries to recapture the glory of his prior foreigner-in-America culture comedy, but a lack of heart and diminishing returns on the successful gimmick turns this into a movie of decent jokes a decade too late.

    When sushi becomes art as much as it is food, the art of presenting it on film becomes transformative not only to the cuisine, but the people who make it.
