Don’t Play This Game Announced By Parable Games
Calling a tabletop game “Don’t Play This Game” seems ill-advised, but when you think about it, 99% of the people who come across it would take that as a challenge and say “you don’t tell me what to do, game, I’m playing you.” That’s the subtle strategy publisher Parable Games is counting on. It’s this same misguided instinct that drives protagonists of countless horror movies to enter that haunted house, pick up that cursed object, or investigate that scary noise. Don’t Play This Game is inspired by such tales; the game’s narrative dictates that once the player finds the book, they must finish the game or else suffer a horrific fate. Of course they can also suffer a horrific fate WHILE playing the game. Cursed games are like that. Don’t Play This Game is one of the few tabletop experiences that’s designed for a single player (all the more spooky to be alone!) It can also be played with several players, though, if they take turns. The game is designed
Spy Kids: Armageddon, A reboot Nobody asked for
Spy Kids: Armageddon is a reboot of the the Spy Kids Franchise. Alexa Vega and Daryl Sabara, the original Spy Kids are too old to continue reprising their roles. Both are now on their 30s and Both of them have spouses and children now. Alexa is now married to Sean Covel while Daryl Sabara, is married to Meghan Trainor. They could do what Netflix did with The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D where the leads return as adults. But Netflix decided to make a reboot instead and go back to the beginning. Connor Estersonand Everly Carganilla will now be the titular siblings. Zachary Levi and Gina Rodriguez will not play the roles originally portrayed by Antonio Banderas and Carla Gugino. Robert Rodriguez who directed the original is so proud that his son Racer Max wrote the script of this reboot. I feel a bit sad about Zachary Levi, If Shazam: Fury of the Gods was success, he wont be doing this movie. Failure of Black Adam, had a
Experience The Timey-Wimey Insanity Of The Loki Season 2 Trailer
Secret Invasion turned out to be exactly what the Marvel Cinematic Universe DIDN’T need right now — a boring slog of a miniseries that did nothing to draw an increasingly apathetic public back from “superhero fatigue.” Can Loki, God of Mischief and former nemesis of the Avengers, change that fate? You all loved him once, remember? In the first season of Loki — starring Tom Hiddleston, reprising his movie role — we were introduced to the TVA, the strict bureaucracy that protects spacetime from anomalies and irregularities — like Loki himself had managed to become. But the Trickster God was slick enough to slip out of every trap the TVA set for him, teaming up with Sylvie, a female Loki from another dimension, to expose the founder and shut the operation down. Even if Loki Season 2 manages to be as engaging as Loki Season 1, there’s this other problem. Season 1 introduced Kang the Conqueror, intended to be the Big Bad of the current “multiverse” arc of the MCU.
Mattel wants to make their own Cinematic Universe
Mattel is on a high right now because of the success of Barbie. Right Wing personalities tried to sabotage it by saying its “Anti-men”. It has some feminist elements but it is not misandry as it criticized extremist feminism and patriarchy. It is more of a humanist film that wants you to empower yourself whether you are a Barbie or a Ken. As of today, The movie made $774,502,851 worldwide. No flopping in China and ban from Vietnam stopped this movie from dominating the box office worldwide. Ben Shapiro thought he will destroy this movie with his negative review and burning Barbie and Ken dolls to show his hate. Well he fails because this movie is probably going to make billions by the end of the week. Mattel also made more money from merchandise and brand partnerships. Many fast foods around the world added a Pink colored food on their Menu. Fashion brand sold Clothes inspired from the film. The Soundtrack of Barbie is thriving at the charts. So
Saw X, This Midquel brings back dead characters to life
Saw X is the 10th movie in the Saw Franchise. The longest running Gorno series finds a way to continue the series and its by coming back to the beginning. This movie is going to serve as a prequel to Saw II and will directly follow the events of the first movie. As we recall, Saw II had a time skip, and this film aims to fill the plot holes left by that time jump. Tobin Bell and Shawnee Smith will reprise their roles as Jigsaw and Amanda Young/The Pig. Their characters have both died already, so this midquel fills in the missing chapter that showcases Amanda’s rise as the Pig. The only way to revive deceased characters is through remaking or rebooting. Therefore, they opted for a Midquel – a prequel that takes place between two movies. At the age of 54, Shawnee Smith still looks young for her years, enabling her to reprise Amanda without the issue of aging. With Saw becoming an influential horror movie, several ultra

Samuel L. Jackson – Box Office King
In 2022, the Academy Awards crowned Samuel L. Jackson with an honorary award as a “cultural icon whose dynamic work has resonated across genres and generations and audiences worldwide.” Samuel Leroy Jackson was born in Washington, D.C. on December 21, 1948, and is the highest-grossing actor of all time. The movies in which he has appeared have grossed more than $27 billion in box office revenues. Jackson is an American actor and producer and has appeared in tons of movies and across almost every genre, ranging from drama to superhero. Jackson started acting at the Broadway theatre appearing in several shows and comedies. However, it was not until his appearance in the 1981 play, A Soldier’s Play, that he entered the big screen. He was spotted by Spike Lee who gave him minor roles in many films including School Daze (1988) and Do The Right Thing (1989). One of his most notable roles was as a sit-in for Bill Cosby on The Cosby Show, which he did for three years.
S.O.L. Search of Light Coming To Consoles And PC
Discover S.O.L. Search of Light, a new tower defense game by Trigger the Monster, launching on PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and PC this spring. In real life, when you get in a bad situation, people say you’re S.O.L. But according to a new video game announced for consoles and PC this spring, S.O.L. stands for “Search of Light.” The game was developed by Trigger the Monster (love this studio name) and published by Firenut Games. The protagonist of this tower defense game, a nameless figure known only as The Foreigner, is certainly S.O.L. (traditional definition) as hordes of enemies are attacking the base he needs to defend. His tower is also located deep underground, so he’s S.O.L. (game definition) as he needs light to see what he’s doing. The Foreigner’s resources include an army of robots that will obey his commands — and yours. Use them to explore the caves surrounding your base to gather resources that will fortify your defenses the next time the hordes come knocking. As you get
Forest Hills: The Last Year Gaining Unexpected Troma Crossover
Forest Hills: The Last Year, due out this summer, is an asymmetrical survival horror game — you know the type, one player is assigned the role of a deadly monster or killer and the other players are given the task of escaping, or staying out of their way for a certain period of time. Dead By Daylight is the most famous example of this. The creators of Forest Hills, the Canadian studio Undaunted Games, have announced a rather unusual development for their title: they’ve entered a partnership with Troma. Yes, that Troma, the Schlock Kings, the makers of the trashiest films imaginable (and they’re proud of it). They’ve gained approval from Lloyd Kaufman himself to stick some of the Troma characters into this game. “Toxie and I could not be more excited to be partnering with Undaunted Games as they expand the fan-favorite Last Year universe with Forest Hill: The Last Year,” Kaufman said in a statement (“Toxie” refers to The Toxic Avenger, who will appear in the game). “Undaunted
