Funko Games Introduces The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Slaughterhouse
In 2024, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre will turn 50 years old. This chilling classic revolutionized the horror genre and spawned countless imitators. We’re sure there will be plenty of items to commemorate the occasion — maybe Gun Interactive will finally release that video game we keep hearing about. But even if they don’t, there will be another way to personally live the terror of encountering a backwoods family of cannibals. Funko Games is preparing a new board game, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Slaughterhouse, for release this fall. It’s an asymmetrical survival game, not unlike Dead By Daylight and other video games, only translated to tabletop mechanics. One player assumes the role of Leatherface and the Sawyer family, while the others play travelers who are looking for a way to escape. There’s only one way to win — by surviving! (Unless you’re Leatherface, then you win by eating everyone else.) It’s a one-vs-many fight for survival! One person plays as the deranged Sawyer family, dragging victims to their farmhouse and harvesting
Invincible: Guarding the Globe, coming to your phones soon
Invincible : Guarding the Globe is a great distraction while waiting for the Season 2 of Invincible. Fans of the comics, Casuals and Critics loved this show. In a world where most American animation uses the Calarts art style, this show breaks the cycle. Invincible gives as the 1980s art style but with the modern animation of DC animated movies and Shonen anime. Amazon Prime has not given any release date but they promised it will be in Late 2023. This Steven Yeun starrer is one of the top shows of Amazon Prime. I warn parents though, this is not for kids. It is one of the most violent and gruesome adult animation I had ever seen. The road to season 2 is still very far so Ubisoft made this Mobile game. Invincible : Guarding the Globe is an original story set on the show’s universe. It is probably not canon but it is still interesting as the trailer captures the essence of the show. Invincible: Guarding the Globe official Trailer

Abyss | Netflix Original K-Drama Series | What Does Your Soul Look Like?
Abyss is a Netflix Original K-Drama series released in 2019. Most people believe they have souls. But what does your soul look like? This Korean drama series is definitely “original”. Abyss puts a delightfully interesting spin on the concept of one’s inner beauty. What If You Died and Were Reborn Looking Like Your Soul Most people assume that their souls are like a vapor or a ghostly apparition. They imagine that the apparition would look the same as your physical appearance. Otherwise, how would you recognize yourself? Let’s suppose your physical appearance is somewhat unattractive by the world’s standard for beauty or handsomeness. However, your soul looks beautiful. But nobody can see your soul. Suppose your fiancée canceled the wedding by sending you a message that she could not stand the thought of eating and sleeping with such an ugly person for the rest of her life. Clearly, you would be devastated. Would you feel crushed enough to contemplate suicide? Probably. Now suppose when you decided to jump off a
Crunchyroll Announces Four New Anime Acquisitions
This weekend during Japan Anime Expo, Crunchyroll held a conference where they revealed four new anime titles would be distributed globally by them in the coming months. These titles include Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, about an ageless elven mage who travels the world; Berserk of Gluttony, about a castle guard with a useless skill (all it does it make him hungry) who discovers he has an advantage after all; and The Demon Prince of Momochi House. That last one starts out like a typical Chosen One narrative but takes a hard swerve: orphan Himari Momochi learns she is destined to defend the barrier between the human and spiritual realms (which exists within the house of the title, which she’s inherited). But when she opens the door to that house she finds three squatters have been living there for months and one of them has already taken over her job! The only “grounded” anime of the bunch is A Girl & Her Guard Dog, about the granddaughter of a mob boss
