"damn you all to hell! damn you all to hell! damn you all to hell! damn you all to hell!...well shit how many of these buried statues of liberty are there?"
You're not getting the horrifying possibility that this is as post-Tea Party post-apocolyptic future, where President Palin conquered France and forced them to make more Statues of Liberty as an apology for not supporting the wars on terror.
Somehow I love how perfectly absurd this type of gameplay is. I know it's supposed to be a reskin of a shmup, but I just can't stop enjoying the idea of someone just not giving a fuck while running through post-apocalyptic, mudfilled New New New New New New New York.
I've played this game, and they explain this. It turns out that the nuclear apocalypse was caused by France loading all of their nuclear weapons into Statues of Liberty and launching them at the United States.
