“Too many sombreros,” the Chivatos said. “No one man should have that power.”
So after ten thousand years, Klik’n'Play oldboy Dustin Gunn (that’s his actual name) has released his ACTION 52 OWNS remake game, Sombreros, under his new indie game label, Sniper Diplomat (1 nerdpoint to anyone who gets the reference).
Why am I posting about it? Well, besides the fact that it owns very hard, it also has a soundtrack by yours truly, which could basically be described as Red Dead Revolver meets Sunset Riders meets Metal Slug meets the extents of my musical talents — basically, it’s cheesy spaghetti western.
Besides doing the music, I also helped a bit with the writing and gave a few ideas for the design of the last level/boss.
At any rate, it’s a really well done game, with awesome (and clever) boss fights, exciting set pieces, hilarious dialogue, and some good freaking music (heh). Also I made that title-screen image.
Check it out immediately, or enjoy your last breaths, senor.

October 5th, 2010 at 7:45 pm

I keep checking you website just for TU updates.

YEAH WHAT ABOUT THE UNDERSIDE?????????
October 6th, 2010 at 5:27 pm
god people get off his back about The Underside >: (
im sure he hasnt forgotten about it (you guys always remind him… every other post >.>)
but yea i love all of your music and this soundtrack is no different

Soundtrack rocks pretty hard. Found myself humming the tune later. The games really good too. Has he done any other games before this?
October 7th, 2010 at 8:56 am
he’s done a couple — his ‘the underside’ is a little gem called ‘mayhem 3,’ which is a sidescroller shoot-em-up with hong kong blood opera style stunts and the same sort of awesome setpieces/bosses and b-movie style humor that you saw in sombreros. but who knows when that’ll be finished (much like the underside, you see)
October 7th, 2010 at 10:53 am
Oh look, The Underside was renamed to Sombreros.
STREEMERZ 2 was actually pretty fun(ny) though.
October 7th, 2010 at 4:42 pm
My only beef with it is that it gets laggy when the actual game starts, maybe a mix of bad computer and something with the game, maybe too many things being active at once.
October 10th, 2010 at 4:46 pm
how come you didnt make an update about streemerz 2 is was pretty good, i thought there was going to be a boss battle at the end, but all of the humor and voice acting made up for it. A very nice short little game.

So I finally got around to playing this, and it was amazing…
…and it would have been amazinger if the last level didn’t lag on both of my fairly modern overclocked PCs.

Also, release the soundtrack in a zip or rar or lhz or something.
October 14th, 2010 at 6:39 pm
bob — i’ve heard that starting the game on level 3 (using the level option on the main menu) helps w/ the lag.
October 16th, 2010 at 11:19 pm
Well how bout that – it does!
I retract my statement then – game is amazinger.
October 18th, 2010 at 6:47 pm
what about the name? sniper diplomat? what does it mean…?
October 19th, 2010 at 8:18 pm
Great game and music! Will you release MP3s of the soundtrack?
October 31st, 2010 at 8:18 pm
hey are you gonna release circy 2 or what?
I’ve been looking for that game for like 4 years.

“look at the original dungeon thread, and you’ll see a definite sort of narrative playing out in terms of the players’ eventual understanding of how the game works, and when the conclusion is finally reached, you can see a lot of people are appreciative of the experience.” – Arthur Lee, Editor of PIGscene.

Ah, Mr.Podunkian. The Justin Bieber of the indie scene. Just as stupid and obnoxious; an arrogant little man sporting the emo hair fad.
It seems your absence from the internet is worrying to some of your silly fans. Why not just drop a message stating vaporware status of your “magnum opus” (haha), The Underside?
Never forget: TU in twenty ten

For three months I have come to this site in anticipation of an actual update. Five to 8 times a week, I’ve loaded the front page in hopes of new Underside news. Each fruitless effort in my endeavor has ended in the exclamation of these three simple words.
“Fucking Sombreros again.”
January 13th, 2011 at 8:24 pm
I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU TO POST THIS FOR AGES! SEX ME SEX ME SEX ME POODUNKIAN
January 13th, 2011 at 8:24 pm
