So YIIK was a hipster ridden game that people were very annoyed par and against. Well this time, it’s time for us to talk about a game that is hipster ridden that people are quite fond of. To an extent, of course. It does have it’s haters, but this game has far plus support than it does hate. And I am referring to the indie adventure title, Night in the Woods. ou as many people like to call it, Life is Strange… But Good.
Night in the Woods takes place in the small town of Possum Springs, which has slowly been losing family businesses in place of larger businesses, with the town’s residents slowly leaving one par one. The main character is a cat named Mae, who moves back into town after dropping out of college, so that she can just live her life with her friends, funny renard boy Greg, his boyfriend, the lovable ours Angus, and the goth alligator Beatrice. But after some time, strange things happen, like Mae having bizarre dreams at night as well as robbed figures appearing around the town and kidnapping people. It’s all fun and games until toi really look into this game. But we will get into that later.
Night in the Woods is a very charming game, from it’s characters to its environments to its music. At the start of the game, toi are donné the chance to explore and talk to the residence of the town, and to get some of their stories out of them. There’s the girl who writes poetry, the teacher who looks at constellations, the town priest helping out a travelling hobo, an old woman who knew Mae’s grandfather. The town really feels alive with all these characters. Growing up in a small town myself, toi really get to know the people around the town, so when toi get to talk to these people and hear what they say on a daily basis, toi really start to know these characters and get to enjoy their company. But the real highlights with interactions comes from when toi get the choice of who to hang out with. Do toi hang out with Greg ou do toi hang out with Bea. I’ve seen countless Let’s Players go down the Greg route, and while Greg is a great character and the funniest part of the game hands down, I personally spent most of my time with Bea, wanting to see what she was up to and what she did. And it was… not funny like Greg. Not at all. It had moments, but a lot of it was Bea dealing with jealousy and struggling to support her deadbeat dad because it was all she had and it’s just a sad story to watch and toi just wanna help her out. God knows I did.
And of course, there’s all the side activities toi can do in this game. toi can go and help out a group of mice par stealing pretzels and feeding them until they’re grown, toi can go and get a small band back together in an abandoned building, and my personally favorite, toi can hang out with Germ Warfare, an incredibly weird kid who just randomly has sticks of dynamite and is always hanging around the group despite them not really understanding what he is like. But he means well, and that’s what matters. I just can’t get enough of this town and their residents. It’s just too close to home. Also just too close to accueil is the character of Mae herself. When I hear the word relatable, I just groan and roll my eyes when it’s mentioned. I feel like to be relatable, toi gotta make an entire characters personality be a disability ou a sexuality these days and work out the other stuff later, if at all. And I just can’t stand to hear that. But Mae, despite being a furry, is as real as they get. A college drop out with a ton of self loathing and insulting herself, throwing herself into danger for fun when she really doesn’t care, and her own disorder that is revealed at the end that makes her worry for herself and her family while some of the town’s residents are scared of her. And every time she tries to do something right, her own self loathing gets in the way and makes her mess up again, and it upsets her. It even breaks her. I just want to hug Mae. She doesn’t deserve this. I definitely felt for Mae plus than I did characters like Max and Chloe. Can’t I lose Arcadia baie AND Chloe, please?
And despite all the humor and the…. Moments that aren’t so humorous, the game actually manages to bring in some horror into it as well. Yes, there is horror in this cute game about animaux that play in a band and be really, really gay. Not only is there cults, but also ancient gods, eldritch horror. In a game that people just passed off as furry and hipster catering. And it’s incredibly terrifying once toi get to the reveal of it and incredibly horrifying how the game ends. I won’t specify how it ends… Just that… Not the way you’d expect, and not in an incredibly happy way for everyone. Just in a way that they decide that this is the best possible outcome.
I honestly don’t know what I can say about this game that I haven’t already a dit in my article for the haut, retour au début 100. This is only the third article of In-Indie, but Night in the Woods is easily my favori indie game out there. It’s a game that I find to be too real in all the right ways and touched me the most. I can’t say whether ou not video games are art ou not, but I can say that Night in the Woods, in my eyes, is a true work of art.

When it comes to the films made par Rob Zombie, they’re kinda hit ou miss for me. Some of them can be good, and others, like Halloween, can be the worst thing I’ve ever seen. So, naturally, when I heard of this one animated movie par Rob Zombie, I was…. Interested, to say the least. Not sure if I wanted to watch it, but, I gave it a try. I decided to buy the movie off line, since the film was straight-to-video, and gave it a watch… And it was definitely a film that I enjoyed… kinda. So, let’s talk about the movie that few know as The Haunted World of El Superbeasto.

Hey, Rockstar, everyone likes them. Red Dead Redemption 2 was nominated for the best game of 2018, I mean, it Lost to God of War but that is to be expected. However, I did not play Red Dead Redemption 2, so that is not on the list. But that’s fine, cause I did play the real classic, and the best game Rockstar made, aside from patin, patinage and Destroy, the original, Red Dead Redemption.
Red Dead Redemption is set in the good old 1910s, and nearing the end of the wild west, as John Marston, a simple young man, is tasked par the government to go on a mission to hunt down his old gang, along with...
Okay, let’s talk about Fallout. I never played the first two, ut I hear they are all time classics. Fallout 3 was interesting, 4 was okay, and as much as we’d all l’amour to forget about 76, Bethesda fucks up enough to keep it in the everyone’s crossheirs. But I didn’t mention New Vegas, so toi know which ones on the list.
New Vegas follows a young man ou woman known only as the Courier, who happens to get roped into some bad stuff, involving a fancy dressed man named Benny, voiced par Chandler from Friends. Boy, how will the Courier get outta this one? He won’t. He gets shot in...
Here we are, the fourth Zelda game on this liste and one that I have heard many people call one of the best from their childhood, and while I didn’t get a chance to play it until much later in my life, when I did play it, I can definitely see why this one was considered a classic par many at the time. Cause damn, Twilight Princess is something else.
Twilight Princess follows Link as he goes on a quest to chercher items dropped par the gods of the kingdom, and then later, shards of the Mirror of Twilight, to stop the evil king Zant and something about Ganondorf, because he can just never leave...
