UK:RESISTANCE 'main page'
This is something that's been bothering us for quite a while now. We remember reading a quote by Shigeru Miyamoto about how Super Mario World was ONLY possible on the Super NES and being rather skeptical. While there actually are some bits of it that can't be done on the NES (the boss fights, that huge Bullet Bill in the very first level that comes in and scares the shit out of you), his example was simply a disgusting case of passive-aggressive SEGA-HATING: (taken from hint book/Nintendo propaganda booklet "Mario Mania")

Maybe we should have set this to JPEG compression level 7 or 8 instead of 6
Yes, whatever you say, Shiggy. We'd like to introduce you all to this- a homemade port of Super Mario World to the NES made by some enterprising Asian hackers:

Quite impressive, if lacking polishIt is, sadly, the only NES game we really like, as we don't have the attention span for things like Contra or Rad Racer. This has caused a life-long alienation from internet forums where people sit around and talk about how great the NES is/was.

The game itself is very impressive, and enjoyable to play:

Always liked the squinty-eyed blocks
Even if there are parts where you get stuck and have to reset.


Look, there's Yoshi! Ready for mounting.


...oh...


...OH...


We have just jumped
BAM! And we're off!


Always liked the boxy design of those mountains
Shit. It's hard to take screenshots and control a semi-buggy NES game at the same time.

So that's it- Yoshi does everything he does in the SNES version; eat berries and enemies and spit fireballs. When you get hit he doesn't run away as fast, which is fine with us because his "running away" animation in the SNES version always made us think Yoshi was running to the nearest bottomless pit to commit suicide or something and made us feel uncomfortable.

So much for believing you, Shiggy!

The funny pictures are BACK

Miyamoto is a hack.

What? Fucking hell. A tenuous link to Sega at best.

I don't give a flying fuck what Miyamoto has ever said about anything.

Did you think that you'd add a speech bubble to try and appeal to the UK:R readers? Here's a tip you fucking twat, it only works if you type something FUNNY in there.

And for fucks sake, stop calling it a Genesis.

I'm sure your new fad of downloading ROMs will soon die out by the time you hit 18 and discover that you're a homosexual.

Utterly, utterly, utterly, utterly, utterly, utterly, utterly, utterly, utterly risible.

Zorg used to gaily point out how unbearable this sort of agonisingly trite writing is. Now it's on his site!

Please, for the love of God, stop.

Why has this stuff got to be scrawled all over one of the internet's very few genuinely funny websites?
Blogger Grytpype said...
I went to the trouble of retrieving both my username AND password just to post this.

1) ROM hacks are usually not able to run on real NES hardware, only on emulators. So the central premise of your merry little waste of my time is incorrect.

3) No one has ever had the shit scared out of them by the giant Bullet Bill. That's just you by yourself, like everything else in your life.

4) Please go away.

5) Who's the "we" you keep referring to? See the second sentence in point 3, you bollocks.

6) Sceptical is spelt with a C not a K you fuckwit. That applies to any Americans reading too.


I feel negligibly better now. Fuck, it's already worn off.

5) Swill is both dumb ánd dumber... :(
Blogger Alex said...
grytpype- just to be pedantic (because i know too much about crap old pirate games) the nes version of super mario world was actually released in a real cartridge that you can play in a real nes and everything, its not just a rom hack.

swill man is still shit though.

"Who's the "we" you keep referring to? See the second sentence in point 3, you bollocks."


I'm glad it's not just me that this has been irritating. As per usual, I could tell it was a swill post solely by the tiresome post title and first line or two, what with all the 'us' and 'we'.


Actually, the entire concept of a front page full of essentially saying how great Super Mario World was, is starting to convince me this is some kind of EGM style 'april fools joke done months before its time'. Those seem to be pretty popular in America.

Not here though, Swill. Go away, please.
Blogger Bouncybhall said...
Did you say that a Mario game was "very impressive, and enjoyable to play"?

Well fuck me.

I'm having some kind of freakout.

I came here after checking I was still winning on an eBay Sonic Baseball Jacket, and expecting something as awesome as the awesome RJ interview and I find Mario love, thinly-veiled by Miyamoto hate.

Fucking hell on a tricycle.

If Mario was so mint then why've I got Sonic on the dashboard of my British car? eh!

I used to love UK:R. I was even one of the 4 people who bought a No Gangs in Games T-Shirt. This is my first ever comment here though. Swillman has lowered his well-padded backside over this site and repeatedly sprayed his foul effluent across it. That is all.
Blogger favus said...
fuck me! just when you thought it could get no worse, theres PICTURES OF AN OLD SNES GAME and THEN THEN FUCKING THEN!! MYIMOTO! AND I MEAN really WHY?!? oh my god.... this is awful.. seriously, This joke has gone on long enough, someone execute Swill, gang style - or let him go and write more shit about Hannah Montanna, as I assume thats what he jacks off to

Word Varification - Mygma - Smegma left over on your cock when you fuck your mum
Blogger kevin said...
God, I hate being the tough guy on the internet, but my god. I was able to put up with the other posts, even if they weren't Zorg quality. This absolutely hit a new low, however, and proves he really ought to keep his postings to Something Awful so that I don't have to read them.

I mean, seriously, a speech bubble? A fucking speech bubble?

I want to apologize on behalf of decent Americans everywhere for all he has put you through. Except for his use of Genesis instead of Mega Drive. Genesis is a better console name, period, perhaps even the best console name of all time. This is not up for debate.
Blogger Tomleecee said...
Fuck me sideways! Well done on another shite post, Swill. You're certainly living up to your name. What's next? A Jaguar vs 32X diatribe? I can hardly wait for your next post. And if you couldn't tell, THAT was irony. You cock end.
Blogger Mainman said...
Is this some sort of trial-by-fire where we will end up respecting Zorg's posts even more while this rectum-produced content slowly clogs the site? If so, it's working.

You can stop now.

Please?
Blogger friedlizard said...
"Genesis" is for bible-bashing types, suits the US fine as far as we can tell.

Garry, this has gone on long enough. End it, please.
Blogger PhotoBoy said...
I think Swill must be a joke character, this latest post seems to be more obvious in that respect than the others.

Things like the constant and annoying use of "we" like "We'd like to introduce you all to this", the American spellings and the continual references to Genesis despite repeated complaints about it make me think this is all just Zorg playing a game. I mean surely if Swill Man was real he'd have killed himself after all the complaints about his last effort!

At first I thought it might be nice to be all diplomatic about this Swill Man controversy but now little more need be said that you're all a big gaggle of utter bellends. It's a well researched article - give him that at least you wretched bummers. And before there are any retorts that adhere to the general sentiment that I'm a Swill-man basher or if any of the UKR grammar illuminati want to call me an infidel due to my lack of perfect punctuation then please allow me to prescribe the response that I couldn't give a solitary bollocks and that you're all gash people. Really - who gives a shite? Get the fuck over it! It's nice to know that my life is better than yours and with that in mind I i implore you to continue exhibitng the hallmarks of absolute irrefutable bumholeness. Right on!
Blogger weatherbox said...
One thing I will say is - I think the Nintendo boys prefer the colloquial nomenclature applied specifically to the aforementioned Mario creator to be be "Shigsy" rather than "Shiggy". Ooh I feel bold and prestigious when I nitpick! I've finally developed an erection! Thank fuck! If I nitpick whilst wearing tights and thrusting a pencil down my urethra I might even finally be able to produce semen!

Blogger coccix said...
Ok, Swill, just a couple of points:
a)"his is something that's been bothering us for quite a while now. We remember reading a quote by Shigeru Miyamoto about..."
Look here: I can say that, Zorg can say that and many people on this site can say that. Because it would have been a good story if it actually had been bothering you since the 90s. Problem is: you were BORN on the ninties, not bothered. Your chumminess is false and not accepted.

b) Couldn't you get to the point a little faster? Like in a single paragraph? I know The Onion writes long reports and that John Stewart can go on rambling about something -say governors and hookers- for quite a while, but they manage to keep our attention introducing new elements used to get the joke to a new level. You don't.

So please, instead of basking on your shit and the hate your stink is producing, why not reread why you are writing and try to do something good?
And Zorg, if you are really hosting a Writer's Academy with UKR practices why didn't you advertise it? I'd say the best bidder on Ebay -1,35 euros for a dozen articles- couldn't have been worse.

So...I guess UKR is a blog that talked about old Nintendo stuff now...

...Great.

I dunno maybe he thought this post would be acceptable because he was talking about Nintendo "lies"?

But then he goes on and praises a rom which he later admits is broken and buggy.

So I dunno. A sloppy post dealing with a broken Nintendo Rom dressed up as apporpriate for URK because it's about a "Nintendo lie".

In turn this whole article is useless because (as previousely commented) it's a ROM not a real game running on real hardware...no reason to read this story unless you are a NES fanboy or a ROM enthusist.
Blogger TheSwillMan said...
My next post will be on that Zelda game on the 3D0. I bought it arrived from Ebay yesterday and guys you need to know all about it.

Srsly funny.
Blogger Malorie said...
I finally saw that 'The New Adventures of The Swill Man' blog posted many comments up, by 'theswillman' (without the spaces).

A great parody blog! I commend you! I don't think anyone else bothered to click the link though, because nobody wants to click a link supposedly by the swill man.
Blogger Caleb said...
I took a second look at the article again and I gotta say I am still certain this has got to be an April fools joke of some kind.

I mean at least this time he put up pictures...but all in all it was a post about a buggy NES Rom.

Trying to link this article to regular UKR fare by calling it an article about "lies" is stupid because it's a Rom not a real cart.

This is not the amusing UKR stuff I look for when I come here.

Thank you Malorie. I have too much time on my hands this Easter weekend. Maybe the swill man without spaces should take over from the one with? I would promise never to post.

What is it with the 'April Fools' theory? It doesn't make any sense.

fucking dreadful. at least when idiot toys sold out it only meant that I had to ignore the right hand side of the screen. Swill man is wearing my mousewheel out as I frantically hurry past his bullshit in search of something less useless :(
Blogger About 1ceclim6er said...
Like some others, I was willing to wait a bit and see what happens. Now it's been enough. I seriously don't understand how this shit can be tolerated by Zorg. Swillman, your posts are really not just very off-topic but simply poorly written and obviously lacking whatever it is that makes UK:R funny. But of course you are too infantile and defiant to acknowledge the facts. So you just keep wallowing in people's hatred like you probably have been doing most of your life. It's not pretty to behold that's for sure!
Blogger Naveed said...
i agree with all the swill bashing except one thing: the speech bubble. speech bubbles have been a classic UK:R form of comedy for years, check the archive back when they used to do it issue style and raided promotional photo archives.

of course, jax and zorg actually put FUNNY THINGS in the speech bubbles.
