I Never Played Five Nights at Freddy’s
I’m just not interested in horror games or horror movies. So I never bothered with Five Nights at Freddy’s, and I definitely never bothered getting into the deep lore videos on YouTube, because apparently that’s a thing. I did watch the recent movie, though, and as a non-fan, it was not that great. But hey, why not enjoy Tell It Animated‘s take on the whole thing?
I love Tell It Animated! He makes everything better! And it’s also a great way to kick off a Monday, so bully on that.

There’s a New South Park Game?
I’m a huge fan of South Park, and a huge fan of the the recent South Park video games, The Stick of Truth and the Fractured But Whole. Those were amazing role-playing games, with some great character customization and storytelling, and just a wonderful use of the whole town. Well now there’s going to be a third and it looks totally different…but also still in line with it?
I just don’t know. The switch to 3D graphics is bugging me. Why change the absolutely perfect, show-accurate art style of the first two games? And now it’s a multi-player action game? Eeeeeh. Not a fan. But I suppose we’ll see. Maybe they’ll make another great game!
South Park: Snow Day comes out in March, possibly.

6 Things I Want to See in a Spider-Man Video Game Threequel
I beat and platinumed the new Spider-Man 2 video game this past week and had a total blast. I’ve been playing Spider-Man games since I was a wee lad, and this new series has seen some of the best ever. Swinging around the city, fighting bad guys, getting some great Spider-Man stories, has all been a true video game achievement. And I’m looking forward to many more to come!
Game Rating: 9/10 – Great!
There are going to be more games. The three so far have been super successful and super popular, and Spider-Man is on a role in the larger pop culture universe. Marvel and Sony need to keep striking while the iron is hot, so I expected more games. I don’t know if we’ll get another interlude like the Miles Morales game, or if we’ll go straight to Spider-Man 3, or if there will be any DLC for Spider-Man 2. But I know there will be a threequel, and I have demands, hopes and dreams for what I want to see in that game!
Join me after the jump for all the characters, concepts and stuff I want to see in the Spider-Man video game threequel. Expect FULL SPOILERS for the full game. And feel free to share your own game wants in the comments below.
Read the rest of this entryIt’s Spider-Man 2 Day!
The day is finally here! After waiting many years, after waiting all day this week, after waiting the hours of my work day, it’s finally time to play and enjoy Spider-Man 2! Granted, I’m posting this in the morning and won’t be able to play until I get out of work later…but still, let’s be happy!
Here’s the launch trailer. Looks great.
This game is gonna be a blast! The last game, and the Miles Morales spin-off, were amazing. And I’ve got a 3-day weekend ahead of me, so I plan to play all weekend long. Gonna swing and web to my heart’s content! I hope everyone else is having just as much fun.

I Think I’m Gonna Try Cyberpunk 2077 Again
This weekend, I will likely finish up with Baldur’s Gate 3, and will set the game down for a good long while. Maybe I’ll play it again in a few months, after several patches, fixes and maybe a definitive edition. So what do I play between now and Spider-Man 2 at the end of October? How about I try Cyberpunk 2077 again. There’s new DLC, after all.
I played Cyberpunk 2077 on launch on my Playstation 4 slim and it ran perfectly. I had zero problems with the game. It wasn’t the be-all, end-all RPG that it promised, and just felt like another first-person RPG, but I had a fun time and played the game to its fullest.
Since then, Cyberpunk has reportedly improved by leaps and bounds, with major updates and upgrades, and now some new content in the DLC Phantom Liberty. And I also now own a Playstation 5. So there’s a good chance the game will be even better!
We’ll see how that goes.
