To be incredibly brief, the first episode of Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan is about one incredibly lucky man who deserves absolutely nothing, and tells Rohan all about it whilst sat in a confessional booth. This man meets a homeless person, then promptly treats them like garbage, putting the starving man to work, and swiftly killing them with some literally back-breaking labour. The only upside to all of this is that he is now forever cursed by an antagonistic Stand that swears to take revenge at the happiest point in the man’s l
The Far Cry series has had many leaks over the years such as the game awards trailer leak. But those kinds of information breaches might be the best kind of leak. It draws in long-time fans who might have grown disillusioned with the franchise. Of course, for players who haven't caught up on their Far Cry, it could ruin surprises in the st
Just like Aesop’s Fables, this short, self-contained story has a powerful message, but one that Aesop could never have predicted in a world ravaged by global capitalism. The powerful abuse others, the powerful feel no empathy, and the powerful will use those around them to get what they want, even at the cost of their own happiness. But ultimately, no matter what, the powerful do not feel the brunt of their curse. They do not have to face the consequences of their actions. They just let those around them do it for them, and keep walking forward, living their life. As the man rises from the confessional booth and leaves the church we see the headless servant, bearing the man’s old face, crawl behind him, alongside the homeless man from years before, while the corn magnate himself strolls out, unscathed, with a face that isn’t even his
His success was a lucky break, yes, but it also came at the cost of the lives and well-being of those around him. And now he stands in a park in Venice, praying that he can flick some popcorn into the air and land them in his mouth, all while pigeons swirl around him and the twisted visage of his daughter growls threats to his life. On the third attempt, the sun breaks through the clouds above, blinding the man and causing him to fail his final popcorn catch. Almost an act of divine intervention. The man’s head comes off, fulfilling the threats the Stand made years earl
There have been plenty of rumors saying that Elden Ring will be appearing, albeit there have been rumors saying that about nearly every major industry showcase since the game's 2019 announcement. While just about everyone would love to get a glimpse at it, fans should keep their expectations in check regarding Elden Ring at E3 2021 as well as everything else on this list (below, in no particular ord
Throughout their journey through Bugaria, Team Snakemouth may come across rare Crystal Berries tucked away in various nooks and crannies. While they serve as a neat collectible, their actual use doesn't become apparent until the quest "Requesting Assistance" is completed. This quest unlocks access to the Underground Tav
Fable 's reboot seems like it was a long time coming. There hasn't been a new core installment in the Fable franchise since 2010, which is an awfully long drought. Technically, Fable Fortune is the most recent installment in the franchise, but unfortunate the digital trading card game from 2017 has since been shut down. There really isn't any more representation for Fable out there anymore. Thankfully, Fable has found a new home in the hands of Playground Games since Lionhead Games' closure. Rumors floated around about a franchise revival for a couple years, but now fans know for sure that a reboot is com
Taking the body of his daughter, the Stand returns, plunging her young fingers into and through the skin of his neck before giving him a challenge that can, possibly, save his life. Flick a piece of popcorn high into the air, above the nearby streetlights, and then catch it in his mouth, three times in a row. Failure results in him losing his head. He fails, but that’s not really the point here: what fascinated me was the popc
The last anyone's seen of the C++ game Development was a gameplay showcase in 2019, but little word on when the game will be done has come from the studio in quite some time. Ubisoft has plenty of other games already confirmed to be showcased, so, unfortunately, it doesn't look like there's much new information about Beyond Good and Evil 2 at E3 2
This will reward Team Snakemouth with the Queen's Dinner, one of the best recovery items in the game. It restores both 15 HP and TP and removes any status effects for the entire party. It's also essential for the following qu
The Stand throws the bag of popcorn at the man and tells him; "You can see your destiny through a trivial, little thing." The task is trivial, yes, but the stakes are high, and the popcorn is emblematic of everything this man is. He’s a corn magnate - as ridiculous as that is - and this symbol of his success is also the harbinger of his undoing. It feels to me like a postmodern Aesopica - Aesop’s Fables - and the untimely undoing of once humble, but often selfish characters within. When a goose lays golden eggs the owners slice it open in search of gold surely hidden inside, only to find nothing. This unrivalled greed has always been an undeniable sin, but it takes on a different flavour when under capital
