My thoughts on Puppet Master: The Game delisting

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, one of my favorite recent multiplayer games is sadly getting delisted. As of late next month, I'm talking about Puppet Master: The Game. I'm just missing the last paid DLC that's it. I was a huge supporter for this licensed multiplayer horror game. It still hearts such an amazing game getting delisted soon.

I know licensed games has a notably shorter shelf life to video games that aren't. I have plenty of great memories playing this game. Either by myself or playing with other people to a degree. Puppet Wars was my favorite mode in the entire game. I absolutely loved everything about that mode!!! Full blown chaos no one is safe!!!

There's four factions with the guest character faction being the Demonic Toys. Although this by itself is rather an interesting topic. At one point, Full Moon planned an crossover movie. Somehow unofficially Sci-Fi made the movie. I don't know if Dollman Kills The Full Moon Universe comic series counts or not. Sadly some of those characters aren't coming.

A lot of us really wanted Dollman or Gingerdead Man to be in the game. There's a lot of skins the characters can wear. Including cosmetics that affects their weapons. Very few of them mostly Blade has a few finishers. The actual maps including the toy factory from Demonic Toys series is accurately portrayed. Of course, I always welcome the Puppet Master theme song playing.

There's a good variety of multiplayer modes. They pulled in so many Puppet Master characters. I also liked each faction minus human one has an Dominator. All were well selected at that like Teddy whose a huge beast. The biggest character you can play in single player too. He may not jump or be able to fully explore maps.

He sure makes up for it in many ways. I also loved you use in game points for a lot of cosmetics or perks. Both of which really helps to bring in the true depth of customization. If you already owned the game you still can play it to a degree. I don't know if we could play online matches following it's delisting. If it remains make sure you joined their discord.

Trust me, it's a very nice community there. The developers are shifting focus back to Horror Legends. Which is another decent multiplayer horror game they made. Puppet Master was in development a long time. I recalled being happy the game came to Steam a few years ago. Last year, finally left early access program.

Before all the crazy credit card stuff happened. Full Moon is going to reveal the tenth and final movie from the poll very soon. I gotten an response off of reddit regarding that. Puppet Master was such an unique game for the genre. I don't even have a lot of games to directly compare to it honestly. It's a shame the recent licensed multiplayer horror game delistings.

I felt Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Game is possibly getting delisted itself soon. Puppet Master was such a huge fan love letter to the franchise. I even loved the paid DLCs more than expected. We had a rather interesting variety. The most unexpected being they made skin cosmetics for the puppets based on licensed toys.

To clarify, there was a toy line of the characters. Some of the people within the community knew about em. Personally I thought it was a very cool idea to bring those into the game. They also made some sick original skins as well. Up to the last paid DLC, it's mostly Puppet Master. The only exception was being Demonic Toys DLCs.

Which were absolutely amazing stuff!!! I felt bringing those characters into the game was a great idea. Not only that, they even brought in a few characters like a lady from two Puppet Master movies. Puppet Master 4 and 5 respectively that was close to those movie's puppet master. I absolutely loved as a smaller character going through the vents.

Despite a few maps became vents like mazes to a degree. Honestly, I was more surprised how well designed each map was. I explored as much as I could by myself. You would be amazed how much detail went into these. The biggest update was mind blowing!!! I won't even criticize the final paid DLC in that.

I do loved the Punkie Blade skin as well. This is easily among the sickest paid cosmetics in the game!!! Clearly Full Moon is going more towards AI in it's newer films. I don't fully support the direction they're going into. I do support they done that poll a few weeks ago. I just felt such a move should've been much sooner.

As for this Puppet Master game it really lives up to many expectations I had. This is the best 2020 Puppet Master thing by far!!! I easily could say they're outdoing the actual movie company. But that also could in a way disrespect the developers as well. This could even be the only game of the franchise to exist.

I'm glad I gotten to play a lot of hours into this Puppet Master game. Balancing wise, it's actually the best I seen in the games of that style I played. No one was notably too buffed or nerfed. It is the most fun playing with other people. Especially some of them being huge Full Moon fans. I would also loved to had said there's some life left in this.

Officially it's getting delisted will upset many Full Moon fans that played the game. I don't know if this also included Subspecies DLC in Horror Legends or not. Which is also a pretty sick DLC from what I played. I do know the developers are huge Full Moon fans. This was a dream that came true for them. Puppet Master was a game that truly brought people together in a good way.

Sure we may criticize several aspects of the newer entries to a degree. The franchise itself always meant so much to me. Puppet Master is such an underrated franchise. If you stick with the first five movies. More recently overlooked for many reasons. It's more of a gem horror movie franchise in it's current state.

I had plenty of cool ideas for this game too. It is a difficult pill for me to swallow. I also know inevitably this was going to happen. I just wish it could've stayed a little longer. The game never peaked too soon which is quite rare to say. This game had huge potential if it kept on going. Considering how many movies this franchise had.

I already decided to be rather selective which upcoming licensed horror games to support. Hellraiser being at the top of that list right now. Puppet Master had a great variety of stuff only particular characters could do. Some of which could be done by other characters. But ultimately done differently animation wise to help those to stand out more.

This isn't recycling animations like Dead by Daylight not sorry. Puppet Master was a game that just not quite on enough people's radars. I don't think that's all the reasons for it's delisting. Puppet Master never been a high grossing horror movie franchise to begin with. I simply think Full Moon putting more focus on their movies is the main reason.

Yes more so than the developers focusing more on Horror Legends at the moment. I do think they will continue to make more games in the near future. I'm glad they aren't just sending em out like some indie developers do. Let's put it this way, just when you thought franchises like Call of Duty. Keep releasing a game nearly every year.

I actually seen some of these indie developers often release games. Usually strikingly similar to each other on a more daily basis. I'm thankful they didn't rush anything out with the game. I also appreciated they always sticked close with their community. Especially making some huge decisions with us meant a lot to me.

Puppet Master changed multiplayer games for me. In a way, I now see ways it could be somewhat refreshing. This game forever changed anyone that played it lifes forever!!! The world should've deeply missed such a game. Right now I'm hoping something could happen to get the game onto GOG soon. They have a lot of indie video games there.

The future may look somewhat grim. I'm sure there's some cool Puppet Master surprises soon. We still waiting for Puppet Master spin off movie with Leech Woman. I still wished they would've done one with Torch. Regardless, this game I always was quite hyped for the updates. I don't recall another multiplayer game I done that with previously.

My thoughts on Black Clover

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, we're on the verge of another manga series ending in a few months. In this case I'm talking about Black Clover. I actually gotten into this as I was getting in the Dark Trio manga wise. I will try to not spoil much as I discuss my thoughts on it. I do plan to review this in a few months as well.

Black Clover

Originally I was going to start out slowly to introduce things. I personally felt that would've been disrespectful to it's main character Asta. I strongly felt this was the next Bleach. I know a lot of people view Jujutsu Kaisen as that. Black Clover to me was way better in comparison. It's not often when an manga series gets transferred.

Black Clover used to be written at the same manga company as many popular Shonen manga series. The author couldn't keep up that led to the transfer. Officially it's a lesser known manga company from the big one he came from. During the few years of it's run. We're currently waiting for the final chapters right now.

The author would release a few chapters together over a few months period. I'm used to this because of Berserk had very notable waits for chapters. The story was getting rushed before his transfer. Although from that period of chapters I still ended up liking to a degree. I figured to get some of this before talking about exactly what is Black Clover?

On a more sad possibly depressing note. The author currently going through a difficult time. His family isn't doing well with an childhood friend passed away. I think it's becoming more obvious he wants to finish the story soon. Hopefully before something else bad could happen. I wanna say Yuki Tabata earned my respect with this story.

Now I feel better to talk about Black Clover. It's a story about a young kid whose born without magic. A world filled with magic users making him an outcast. His name is Asta with the dream of becoming the Wizard King. By now, many Shonen franchises has a similar dream. Like Monkey D. Luffy wants to become the King of the Pirates.

Black Clover is essentially a more medieval magic Bleach. There's some strikingly strong similarities to Bleach I couldn't ignore. Asta has some huge similarities with Ichigo Kurosaki. A huge part of how brigades are set up is similar to the 13 Court Guard Squads. Black Clover does differ in many ways from Bleach.

I simply love the real twist being this character lacks magic. Yet he ends up getting access to anti-magic. Which ends up being a truly scary thing in the right hands. Asta is proof you may not be born like everyone else. At the same time, if you're willing to work hard for your goals. Then in due time you could become a respectful warrior to the kingdom.

Asta does become an knight in a rather interesting brigade. I'll be honest, I'm not crazy about the rest of them. I didn't expect to really prefer the Black Bulls that much. Black Clover does have some huge twists you won't see coming. I am excited to eventually see the rest of the ending myself. A lot of rememberable characters on the way.

Black Clover is a story you could quickly get behind. The underdog that's blowing away people's expectations is exactly what Asta does. I know some people are quite harsh even before the story's transferred. I have seen worst rushed story arcs coughs Jujutsu Kaisen. I do see the potential of Black Clover.

You're getting a rather unique take on the concept. So many similar stories has the main character with higher than expected magic potential. Yet we got a guy who rather directly fight his enemies regardless what they could do. Not only that, this story even made some magic types more interesting as well. There's some amazing depth to that especially later on in the story.

I felt Black Clover deserves a little more respect. Especially if it ends up with a better ending than My Hero Academia or Jujutsu Kaisen respectively. I was even surprised how much Bleach inspired this!!! Yes they do cover the other nearby countries. I also liked they made training essential in the story. Black Clover felt like Bleach while more of it's own thing.

Obviously not just a Bleach rip off with a cheap coat of paint that's it. The story gets a little deeper than expected at times. The action with many fights being very destructive. Let's be honest, you expect places getting destroyed. You also expect people tanking or getting sent flying from blows. Throwing in complexity with several types of magic.

It's not Naruto's techniques repetitive but it does come close sometimes. I also wanna say the drawing during some of the craziest battles were mind blowing!!! This is a story that delivers on epic showdowns. It also delivers on many critical twists as the story goes on. Black Clover made Asta's journey a rather unique one at that.

This guy will never back down no matter how grim things seems to be. I know some people compared Asta to Dragon Ball's Goku. But he's way more like Ichigo than anyone else. I actually could see an crossover with these two being very awesome!!! I never said it was Jump Force lol. "Oh you're serious!!! ha ha!!!"

Black Clover was an outside the box idea. Some stuff you could expect may show up in the story. I am trying to not give direct spoilers. I will confirm Black Clover is a reference to Asta's grimoire. You would be surprise all the stuff Asta pushed through. I also wanna give my thoughts on how I think his story could end.

I don't have any inside information whatsoever. I do have some rather interesting ideas though. The first idea is he won't be allowed to become the Wizard King. Which may upset a lot of people before they fully reveal what's in store for him. They might create a new third king position. There's currently two king positions for the Clover Kingdom.

You got your usual king, I never cared for the guy. You also have the Wizard King. Whose suppose to be the strongest magic user in the kingdom. I believe this third king position could be meant for the underdogs like Asta. Regardless of their obstacles, their incredible determination. Eventually earning that position could be a nice reward.

The other realistic possibility is Asta gets offered to become the new captain of the Black Bulls. Let's be honest, the guy beneath his captain doesn't want his job. His captain does depend on Asta a lot as well. He virtually like a father figure to him. An handful of characters including Yami is similar to Bleach's Kenpachi Zaraki.

I highly doubt Asta be given his own brigade. He ended up bringing them together in a way no body previously had. I wouldn't be surprised if the author went this route plays on that. I do believe some last major twists might leave some rather mixed reactions from people. The Black Bulls are like an family more than anything else.

I do plan to read more manga series. Both finished with not many ongoing manga series. Right now I wanted to stick with four ongoing manga series that's all on the verge of ending. I'll be mixed emotions myself when the story is over. On one hand, I felt I'm going to enjoy the ending. At least more than a lot of people.

On the other, I still want more of the franchise. I'm sure there's some possible room to continue something in some way. It doesn't even need to be an sequel. It even could've been a surprise spin off story that eventually connects to the main story. Black Clover quickly left a huge mark. I actually see it as an unique gem of a magical action adventure story.

It's notably more about the action. But I do like how it goes about the adventure aspects. I don't wanna say this suddenly made stuff like Harry Potter franchise look bad. We all simply have different taste in things. I particular an swordsman main character in these style stories. A major reason why I liked Sword Art Online shows as well.

Black Clover brings so much to the table. It may not be the greatest manga story ever written. It's far from some of the worst I heard off videos as well as websites. It felt more like the right people would enjoy the story a lot. I love when some of the complexity in the story telling shows up. This is far from a rather uninspired magic story.

You would be amazed how much I'm not revealing. The only way you're going to know is my upcoming review of Black Clover. Which will have a lot of huge spoilers. For the present, Black Clover was unlike anything I ever came across manga wise previously. I wasn't expecting how truly awesome things actually get!!!

Stranger Things (2016-2025) review

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I recently finished watching an Netflix show called Stranger Things. Despite being five actual seasons nearly an decade went into making the complete show. Of course, some controversialities on the way with it's final season being no exception. I knew eventually I had to review this show.

Stranger Things (2016-2025)

A large amount of the concept heavily showcasing the 80s. I wouldn't be surprise another show doing the same for the 90s happens soon. Along with my wife, we're both born 1989. We barely missed out on the 80s ourselves. A lot of influences were quite obvious. The Duffer Brothers are huge fans of D&D. They also confirmed Silent Hill was a major inspiration.

A lot of the characters are rememberable. Even an handful that doesn't live long on the show. We get to see many seasons play out from several sides. From the beginning, there's always this big mystery. Eventually majority of them gets answered in some way. I do liked they deal with going beyond an plain of existence. Little did any of us know they finally cross things to a parallel world.

If you lived in the 80s this show going to bring back a lot of memories. I would say most of the episodes felt like a great movie series. I know recently regarding Season 5 people are criticizing the hell out of it. Going back what I previous said about marathon reading Chainsaw Man. A lot of them are marathon watching this show.

To the point, they don't fully register everything. Some personal stuff went full circle with an handful of characters. The final battle was criticized being too short. Honestly, I rather had more story following it than extending the battle with a more rushed out ending. I even cried during the final ending credits I was quite happy.

There's a lot of complexity they do often try to simplify to a degree. Let's be honest, some of the more recent stuff is nearly impossible to simplify in all honestly. I also felt Vecna aka Henry was a great antagonist for the show. A huge spoiler they pulled an Inuyasha villain twist on us. Anyone familiar with Inuyasha instantly knows what I just spoiled.

This show doesn't shy alone from the deaths. A large amount of the show kept reminding me of Half-Life series. Both franchises involves organizations that experiments with crazy theories. Which does include opening portals to another plain of existence. Quickly getting out of control with a lot of deaths. Half-Life also has some complex concepts within it's stories.

I'm also used to this through The Flash show I liked. This had a notably way better ending than that. Covid era slowed down production on many shows including Stranger Things. Which led to another famous controversiality. Majority of the younger cast members were too old to play their respective characters.

Honestly, they done a great job with what's been given. Yes they did replace Holly's actress. Although, I felt that turned out to be a great decision. Little did I realize her original actresses were twin sisters. They even used the same trick Full House done with the Olsen Twins. If anyone asks I'm a bigger fan of their sister Elizabeth.

For years this was among Netflix's biggest shows. Many people dropped everything to watch newer seasons of the show. Almost like great pay per view events or going to the movie theaters geared up. Yes I'm talking about getting snacks with a pair of 3D glasses. There's forty two episodes that do notably differ in length.

Usually the season finales are the longest episodes. The most recent being a little over two hours long. This move was obviously inspired by Attack on Titan. For those that doesn't know the strategy they done. Instead of doing more episodes to end it all. They actually done a little over an hour long specials. Two of them right after each other with a huge gap between em.

Speaking of that, I didn't like how they chosen to release the episodes for the final season. Starting with Season 4, they give you most of the episodes. But we had to wait for the final episodes. Now that isn't too bad compared to Season 5. Right before Thanksgiving we gotten four episodes. Christmas followed with three more episodes.

Finally the final episode on the last day of the year. I didn't felt they rushed production on that season. I'm more curious to see how Seasons 2 and 3 done with Squid Game. Considering those two seasons were film back to back. We will see if I finally get to review that Netflix show later on. There's plenty of moments with enough on both sides to relate to whoever watching.

For a streaming show, it does deliver entertainment. Sadly with it's reputation, it was doomed to have haters. Very true right now with the final season. Let's be honest, a lot of them doesn't properly understand the show. I also get a lot of people are heavily against loving same sex stuff. All I can say is many things going to follow suit.

Parts of that were there from the beginning!!! Some amazing actors & actresses appeared on the show. The more recent being Linda Hamilton. Whose widely known being the original actress to play Sarah Connor. I felt she done an amazing job with her role. I also noticed many trends came full circle in the final seasons outside the controversialities.

A good example being a newer group of D&D players with Mike's little sister. Dustin ended up becoming the new Eddie. Speaking of Eddie, the famous Metallica guitar moment. It was so great the actual band met with the actor. I personally absolutely loved this moment!!! Final season had more of those moments I loved with an passion.

The perfect line before Vecna dies by Winona Ryder yes!!! Let's be honest, a lot of his actions greatly affected her more than anything else. She was the first to start fighting against Vecna. It made perfect sense she finally gets her revenge. Several aspects of that was full circle. The Upside Down was never another plain of existence as it turns out.

This by itself turned everything we knew well upside down. What someone had to say it lol. I also loved most of the characters came together to take on Vecna. Stranger Things has plenty strange aspects as it goes on. For me it's just like JoJo's Bizarre Adventure with anything bizarre. There's little to nothing normal here!!!

The story can differ to a degree with pacing at times. I never felt any of it was notably rushed out. If you wanna see an final season rushed out. Then go watch the final season of Gotham. Now that's more rushed than this final season!!! Not only that, I also loved somehow everyone came together like a big family.

No one wanted to die neither leave any of the others behind. They simply wanted to save their world. At the same time doing what they can to be save. A large amount of the concept kept reminding me of Phantasm series. I'm surprised not many people notice some of the strong similarities. Confirmed inspirations or not this show has similarities I couldn't ignore.

Both has an main character named Mike. An group of humans taking an stand against an supernatural tyrant. Somehow involves several plains of existence. Also one of the main characters has similarities powers to the antagonist. Personally this final season was better than the final Phantasm movie. Rest in peace, Angus Scrimm aka The Tall Man.

I also wanna mention with so many franchises getting ruined after bringing in an multiverse. I actually felt this was among the better recent showcases of a multiverse. We only get to see two universes essentially. But compared to a lot of them going bigger. Maybe keep things smaller is ultimately better in the long run.

I was deeply impressed by everything honestly. I'm talking the insane quality as Tales from the Crypt as well as Ash vs. Evil Dead show. This show is absolutely perfect to watch close to or on Halloween. Stranger Things felt like something truly unique. Demogorgons are famous monsters in the franchise. I also loved we get to see the younger characters grow up as the story plays out.

Speaking of rushed out, I personally didn't like American Horror Story's Double Feature season. Pacing with rushing the ending to the first story made it among my least favorites to date. It also didn't help the story for the other story wasn't great with not decent special effects. This final season easily blew that season away!!!

This show might not been one I was there from the beginning. Now I kinda wished I was after I fully watched it. There's a few horror shows like Chucky I was there from the beginning. The final season was better than Chucky's Season 2. Stranger Things is a show that gets quite serious. It is so nice when the lighter moments shows up at times.

It's amazing despite everything that happened including nightmare fuel stuff. Majority of the characters kept their humanity in the end. Suddenly they acted as the light against Vecna's darkness. They were even out doing soldiers later on. I do have some favorite characters I'll reveal. Of course, I like Eleven a lot.

Alexei quickly became one of my favorite characters. He eventually became an ally with a sad ending. You actually felt bad for him after it happens. I gotta mention Murray Bauman aka the crazy guy. He went from not really wanting to help to becoming a great ally to the characters. I also liked Joyce a lot as well.

Easily my favorite parent character along with Hooper on the show. I previously mentioned Eddie who also had an sad ending. Bob Newby with a similar fate. It's kinda amusing the same actor played Sam in The Lord of the Rings movies. The live action movies prior to the live action The Hobbits movies. I do like majority of the kids as well.

By now the world getting more used to reliving the 80s. Notably done better here than in American Horror Story: 1984. I won't sugar coat things that season sucked!!! The interactions with the characters especially later on are like actual relationships to a degree. I know parts of that won't be taken seriously with all the crazy stuff that happens.

If I learned anything from the last decade. People sure can't get enough out of crazy shows. Stranger Things has surprising depths to many things especially within it's lore. There's plenty of surprises right up to the end. They even left us with a debate on a particular character's fate. Considering how well the same strategy worked for both versions of Silent Hill 2.

This was a double edge sword thing. Many people going to feel like "Oh come on!!!" I know others would like to believe in Mike's theory about their fate. What about a possible third option? She found a way to survive despite being a particular epic event with virtually 0% survival rate. In other words, she found a way to not die when the Upside Down was no more.

I know such an conclusion would bag so many questions with no enough answers. At the same time, they went this far with everything prior. Eleven herself is among the most powerful beings in the series. It's possible she might've noticed a weird loop hole allowing her to survive that. A particular multiversal Marvel show had a corrupted Doctor Strange that survived an universe collapsing on him.

Sometimes you gotta believe or just accepts the impossible can be done. Suddenly majority of the show makes even more sense with that logic. It isn't a perfect show by any means. There actually doesn't exist many shows I personally considered to be perfect. The last thing I wanna do is in a sense disrespect Stranger Things by naming some of those shows.

I will say this though easily among the greatest Netflix shows I ever seen!!! This went from a show with such an reputation I didn't wanna considered watching to thank god I gave it a chance. This show is absolutely amazing at nearly everything it does. Other than later seasons being broken up releasing em. My other huge issue is sometimes a little too much going on.

Even with the final season it eventually balanced itself out. They went for a much deeper story telling for it's final season. I also felt this show can't be copied neither recreated in anyway. It is essentially a rather unique show that brought many people together. Just like what eventually happened on the show itself.

Why parodies works better in shows than movies?

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, here's a concept I kept thinking about for months. I'm sure a lot of people notice parodies within shows is notably funnier than in movies. This also include movies not meant to be parody movies that's comedy films I know I'm about to open a huge can of worms here. I felt there's some great reasons why parodies simply works better in shows.

Obviously a movie even it's meant to be just one could take a few years to make. In a sense, seasons of a show are more monthly with their productions. A major difference is most movie franchises doesn't plan for a sequel movie. Usually horror movie franchises do since there's huge money in em. This also explains why sometime there's a longer notable gap between movies.

Even comedy films suffers from trying to get em done. A movie is one planned project compared to a season of show that can differ in many ways. Episodes could be longer or shorter than expected. Seasons can also differ on the amount of episodes as well. Shows can more directly keep things fresh. There's plenty sitcom shows that's proof of that.

Yes some are quite offensive not meant for everyone. Shows more likely stick closer to the original concepts. It doesn't mean some aspects can't change overtime. A good example being Steve Urkel in Family Matters. Originally he was going to appear once. His surprise popularity from that appearance led the character being an recurring character on the show.

In fact, most Family Matters fans considers him among the best characters on that show. Another famous example was Penny for The Big Bang Theory. A slightly different situation, they originally were going to do the concept with a different female character. But the audience greatly prefer Penny leading her becoming part of the cast.

I think another huge factor is films has bigger expectations than shows on television and streaming platforms. By default, people has a more ridiculous expectations. To the point, a lot of newer comedy films aren't doing well. The industry comedy wise is virtually dog slow. Several other major movie genres like Sci-fi, horror and action has a lot more going for em.

This indirectly helps comedy shows to stand a bigger chance. They also could work on multiple episodes compared to one movie. I know many actors and actresses can work on multiple projects. Which can include both forms of media. Ultimately the staff is notably smaller for comedy shows. But that's also why they ultimately held up better.

You got teams that worked together for years. Yes they often swap out directors to a degree. This heavily plays into how to make shows funnier long term. It's sorta like families that wants to have a great time together. In comparison, comedy movies are more like once in a blue moon occasions. Sure many sitcom shows had notable decline in later years.

At the same time, some of them like Futurama is still great shows. This is why The Big Bang Theory was so great!!! A lot of my favorite sitcom shows was 90s to early 2000s. Although the one I often talk about is The Simpsons. I felt live action wise shows can differ in quality. There was a time Two Broke Girls used to be an funny show.

Then some of the people involved with the show decided to ruin it on purpose to get it canceled. I would say stick with the era I previously mentioned for some great sitcom shows. Yes I do enjoy some of the big names of that era. If I had to pick a favorite live action sitcom show. This might come as a huge surprise, Everyone Loves Raymond.

Some of the characters in particular Raymond's parents reminds me of my grandparents on my mom's side. There's many other great reasons why I ended up enjoying that show so much!!! Animated wise the more family comedy movies is better than parody films. There was a era, parody films used to be quite entertaining.

I could name several shows parodying many things that's way better. Although I always respected an handful of parody films like Space Balls. Even comparing live action comedy movies. This might be a hot take on the topic. I strongly felt 80s to 90s was the funniest era of movies to me. One of my absolute favorite sports comedy movies is Kingpin.

Yes I also heard they are going to make a sequel. Honestly, I won't expect much with an handful of actors coming back. I highly doubt Randy Quaid going to come back though. Around 2010s era of live action comedy movies gotten notably stupider. Very forced over the top style that I couldn't take seriously in a bad way.

I will confessed I liked The Hungover series. Those were surprisingly funny movies. I do agree the last one wasn't great but still somewhat enjoyable. Animated sitcom shows could go in so many directions. Some of them are incredibly difficult to predict what's going to happen. Which is perfect for making jokes that ends up being incredibly funny.

One of my favorite mess up jokes from these shows in recent years. Came from Disenchantment, Bean's uncle was talking to God. Late into the same episode, he replies to God saying. "You're a sick bastard." I actually laughed very hard the first time I heard that. Rick & Morty from what I seen is all over the place.

Somehow as chaotic it was works amazingly well. Some people really enjoy the more offensive animated sitcom shows like South Park or Family Guy. One of my favorites among that style again a hot take was F Is for Family. American Dad! is among my favorites. This show takes such huge risks that works amazingly well!!!

They directly parodying governments especially the US government. Of course, there needs to be a great ratio. Otherwise any joke that could be thrown out won't fly. Movies more recently tries to rush such an process. Shows found the perfect middle ground to remain funny for many years. This is a topic I really could talk about for hours.

Ultimately you could easily marathon the right shows compared to comedy movies or parody films. Even if you watch the classics you can't deny. A lot of these shows are instantly timeless. In some way, it relates to you as well as your family. Not only that, I seen more actual creativity. I do gotta mention both occasionally has notable stinkers.

You can't be funny all the time. More recently, I found shows to be roughly nine times funnier. Which is sad it's gotten that notably better at making people laugh. All of a sudden, the more popular form of media isn't looking great. You really can't go wrong with the right comedy shows. By now, there's something for everyone in comparison to movies of the same genre.

How to get some No, I'm Not a Human achievements

Update: earlier today I finally gotten the last two achievements. I officially gotten every achievement in No, I'm Not a Human.

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I know I'm already talking more about No, I'm Not a Human. Don't worry this also going to be quite interesting. There's a couple achievements you either don't realize you can go for or a lot of factors makes going for them quite frustrating. I already shared my thoughts on all eleven endings.

Although a good amount of these following strategies can also help you get em. Memorization is critical if you want every achievement in this horror game. Also knowing when to make saves plays a major role. I just hope for the more frustrating achievements. Any of my advices helps you out somewhat. It sure was very frustrating to kept reloading my saves for the last couple achievements.

Yes I'll be covering a lot of achievements. I don't see the point fully covering them all. There's a lot of easy achievements to get. Some you might get without realizing it as well. I just hope any of my tricks helps someone. You could be in for one rather frustrating experience. Possibly an insanity test at it's worst!!!

More unexpected achievements

WHATS THAT SMELL?!

You need to invite the crazy fat guy who sorta reminds me of comedian Jack Black. Hope if there's any Visitors in the house doesn't kill him. There's also a chance he could be one himself. Which would remove the previous concern. You start talking to him until beer shows up in the dialogue. Agreed to give him one for the achievement.

No, I'm not a Visitor

This is very straight forward as the game goes on. More signs to help spot Visitors becomes available. Some people doesn't know these also apply to you for a particular achievement. It doesn't matter any person you invited in are in the bath room or not. You simply access your bath room sink. Choose any of the signs to look for to get the achievement.

What THE HELL Was That?!

Easily one of the easiest achievements to miss in the entire game. The real kicker is this occurs looking out a particular window. Usually among the last few nights. You should see some FEMA members talking to each other. Very quickly you'll see a large monstrous figure move in the background. Thankfully this also plays into Over the Garden Wall achievement as well.

Frenemy

This is a bizarre but fitting achievement. A lot of people you could invite into your house. There's 50/50 chance they could be Visitors in the runs. It's a rather straight forward kill achievement. It doesn't matter which character as long it isn't set species characters. Across two playthroughs kill the same character. The achievement will unlock among killing em again as any species left.

You Weren't Supposed to Hear That

This is one of a couple achievements that surprised me. An handful of phone numbers are set being the same. Majority of them will randomize in every run. You can call as soon as you reach the first day 000-451 on the phone for the achievement. This is even before their number starts showing up on TV. It reminded me of a particular SpaceBalls scene honestly.

Your Fluffy Master

You must let the Cat Lady whose always a Visitor in. Which also plays into a particular ending. From that point on, you have a few methods to getting canned cat food. Either you order it from the phone or a few people you attempt not letting in. They could attempt to bribe you with food for the cat. Regardless, you reach the following day to give the food to the cat for the achievement.

I also should point out this could give you Harsh Compromise achievement as well.

Hot Potato

This sorta plays into the achievement I just talked about. Some people you attempt refusing entry could bribe it with FEMA Notice papers. By default, two particular people will give you that paper. But you gotta let the burned fireman in. Assuming the previous owner still in the house. During the following day give it back to them.

Depending on which nights FEMA comes by. They automatically get selected to go with FEMA. Personally I did laugh a little bit. You could give it right back knowing what could follow might not be great for em. I was quite surprised that was actually possible to do in the game. I consider this easy to miss achievement since it doesn't seem obvious to some people.

Pest Control

This was a feature in an older version of the game. More recently this feature gotten added back in. Currently among the easiest achievements in the entire game. As soon as you can open the fridge. You click to kill an cockroach done. Honestly, it was a rather unexpected surprise. Unless you look up the update you might not even know that's an achievement.

A House with History

Here's another achievement I didn't expect to be in the game. In some of the rooms you click on particular stuff. You kept doing this until you click the last one for the achievement. I do like this reveals a little more back story to who you're playing as. There's a huge chance a lot of people didn't even know you could do this.

Bring me a dream

Not to be confused with Walk A Mile in Their Shoes achievement. First you'll need the same old man required for Mushroom Ending to show up. Among accepting the pages the following morning. Head beneath then go to the left to find a huge mushroom. Simply eat the mushroom before ending the day. Before you resume during the night you should get a far out there dream sequence.

Possibly rage quitting achievements

Watch and learn

Fog-in-the-box

A Very Sad Poem

Wait...

Event Horizon

TAKE RESPONSIBILITY

Bullet Dodger

Event Horizon

Happier Days

The Wolflord

Undulations of Capricorn

The Whisperer in Darkness

Rise up and walk

Martyr

Phone Book

Yes some of these are much easier. But the reason I still listed them here. There's a lot of factors that could prevent the harder ones. A lot of characters will always show up in most runs. Thankfully an handful of these achievements involves em to a degree. The shorter ones you'll more likely unlock in comparison.

A great example of an easier achievement being Fog-in-the-box achievement. You must invite the Stoner guy in. Quickly you can go talk to him the following morning to light up. The amount of days differs between these achievements. If that wasn't bad enough there's a few recurring situations. Like hoping FEMA doesn't take em away or they get killed by Visitors.

You also gotta hope the usual dream sequence doesn't occurring any of these. You will be effectively screwed from getting em. Especially when it follows a save then you left your session. You go into night to be trapped having to do the dream sequence. Although on a few occasions, this actually could help you out.

You also don't want to get them too close by the cultists. In particular, characters among inviting in that sits in the same room will be forced out. You can not refuse the cultists entry into the house. It also doesn't help some of the required characters appears in later days like Best Son guy. Suddenly I gotta talk about this game's rng in characters showing up.

Most of the nights will have set characters guarantee to show up at your front door. Some nights differ how many of them could be randomize. This is rather critical information for the last couple achievements I gotten. Among ordering stuff the Delivery Guy temporary acts as a set character. You also need to learn how to properly determine when to save.

Thankfully there's a few save methods. The limited method involves a particular jar drink. Yes you can get more of that a few ways. Either by ordering it just once per a run or among trying to send some people away. They could bribe you with that drink. It's possible to have three of the same drinks during an run.

Other recurring obstacles involves guy with a rifle as well as the Mascot Visitor himself. I quickly mastered how to prevent getting Revenge Ending involving guy with a rifle recently. It's a little trickier with the Mascot Visitor in some of his later visits. You actually could get that ending among selecting you're not alone.

Believe it or not, this happened several times to me. Basically trying to avoid two endings while achievement hunting can be a real bitch!!! Going back to FEMA, they start by removing one person from the house unless you're alone. Most visits, they will take two people from the house. You can get two FEMA Notice papers during a run.

Sometimes attempting to send someone away could bribe you with another FEMA Notice paper. My best advice is majority of getting most of the characters is around nights 8 and 9 respectively. I am still not done because of a particular frustrating achievement called Phone Book. Here's the good news, some of the numbers are easy to get.

The first number comes from your neighbor guarantee. Simply watch TV as well as listen to the radio for more numbers. It is critical as soon as most phone numbers are revealed. You make sure you call em to count towards getting the achievement. You'll also need a lot of characters to invite inside. Virtually everything I said previously applies to this.

1. Angry Guy

2. Best Son

3. Deadbeat Mom (comes into the house with a kid)

4. FEMA Wife

5. Wireface (an foreign guy with a stitched up mouth)

6. Little Girl (neighbor's daugher)

7. Fortune Teller

8. The Sisters (number comes from the healthier twin)

For those that played the game might've noticed Fortune Teller actually double in the same process. For everyone else, it's just one critical thing you'll need. Guy in a Wheel Chair also needs get his hands checked for an achievement. You might have a bigger issue with Visitors in your house than anything else.

Some of these characters are more likely going to be taken by FEMA. This by itself makes it very frustrating to keep on trying again. Very few Visitors wouldn't kill anyone. I do recommend if you could find a good source use it. All of this made finishing the achievement hunt quite satisfying. Majority of these are luck at best.

If they show up to hope none of the bad situations takes em out in some way. You have more lucky rolling Yahtzee I'm not kidding. Also try to memorize what all of them looks like. Very few of these achievements will require particular options selected. Which means if you chosen the wrong choices you sadly don't get anything.

This applies to the teacher for Martyr achievement. Unfortunately we're causing an suicide to happen. I'm just very surprised the game fully shows this!!! You should be very used to constantly restarting your saves or doing new games altogether. Both will be quite common for this process. Look up how many days you'll need any of them around for.

The Cat Lady has a situation you must select the right dialogue to trigger. She dodges some of your shotgun shots. Inevitably she'll die from the last shot for the achievement. This has to be among the weirdest sequences in the entire game!!! It kinda reminded me of The Unknown in Dead by Daylight I'm not kidding it's that freaky!!!

If you get some of them too late into a run you already failed!!! The teacher loves to show up around there. Ideally as frustrating it's going to be. You want her to actually show up on Night 8. Three or four set characters if you're expecting an delivery. It'll end with a final randomized character. This means every failed attempt you must talk to the same three to four characters.

Before finding out characters like her shows up or not is quite frustrating!!! I hope I didn't over complex anything. I really tried to break it down but in a more simplify way. Thankfully there is no time limit to force you to finish the game. There is a day limit being Day 14. Little to nothing could happen except an handful of endings there.

Going for all of these achievements is largely trial and error. You gotta hope your strategies keeps whoever you'll need in the house. Also hope they don't die during the process. It's a bit stressful of a process I won't sugar coat that. This is exactly why among getting the last achievement I was so happy. One last tip is some people won't enter the house unless you remove particular people from there.

Effectively kicking them out that thankfully doesn't involve majority of people in these achievements. Very few of them are at risk for that. You also could refuse kicking those characters out while sending someone else away. There's surprisingly a lot more strategies involved with this. The best of luck to those crazy enough to fully achievement hunt this game!!!

My thoughts on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 ban from The Indie Game Awards situation

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, for a good while I kept seeing posts as well as videos. All focus on the recent controversy of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 ban from The Indie Game Awards 2025. The fact people still needing to say something on the matter. I figured to fully give my thoughts on that situation. I mostly going to be quite ugly about this.

They fully live streamed their game awards show. Suddenly, they came out with Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 gotten disqualify as well as banned from their show. Effectively giving the awards it's suppose to win to other indie video games. No disrespect towards Blue Prince, I do wanna play that myself. They have a key rule about don't use AI in video games.

A couple months ago, it was confirmed several hundred video games during a particular Steam sale used AI. Not only that, the game in question already removed textures originally placed by AI. It was a rather small usage of the concept. It would've been different if Expedition 33 was largely made with AI. Honestly, this easily could've been settle in private.

Even before they do the game awards show. This includes making an announcement the game can't be nominated with reasons revealed. In a post on their social media accounts prior to that. They also could've had the company responsible for the game to make the same announcement. As far I'm aware neither happened prior to that show.

Instead they planned this attack on the game. Purely out of being sick & jealous of the game. In other words they actually chosen a very ugly way showcasing that to the public. It also doesn't help some of their awards possibly came off racism possibly sexist. I will list those following awards to make a point. Those didn't even need to be in the game awards show at all.

1. African Indie Game Award

2. ANZ Indie Game Award

3. Black Voices in Gaming Award

4. Latin American Indie Game Award

5. Southeast Asian Indie Game Award

6. Women-Led Indie Game Award

This game effectively swept a few game awards shows. This might come as a huge surprise to a lot of people. I don't consider Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 to be overrated. For something to be overrated, it has to not be as great as people say coughs Naruto. Expedition 33 and Stranger Things show were shows that surprisingly lived up to that insanely high expectations.

I don't even like how The Indie Game Awards goes about it's process. We barely have any real say except possibly throw out some indie games to nominate that's it. Which is technically more than a lot of those shows. I strongly felt the overall best game awards show wise. Hands down was The Horror Game Awards.

I even told them it was the best game awards show I watched all year long you bet it was!!! I recommend watching the later edited version of that it's way better. I don't care what sex or race people make games are. I felt someone from one side of the world could deliver a truly unique perceptive. On the opposite side of the world very true within indie games.

I strongly felt they done this on purpose. Partly due to being more focus on indie video games. Not as close as many people tuning in to the bigger game awards shows. It's almost like they chosen to go a more drama route to keep people talking about their awards show. To me, that was a rather sad, pathetic way of getting people's attention.

It isn't a cry of desperation either. They obviously didn't want to follow suit a few ways. Let's be honest, Expedition 33 isn't even in many categories compared to those other awards shows. The fact they directly attacked a game like this is a clear sign of being poor sportsmen. They should've just supported the game.

I'm not saying bend over either. What I'm trying to say is they clearly decided to go such an route for all the wrong reasons. I never seen such ugliness in any awards shows prior. I'm more willing to see some questionable nominees that's common in these shows. What just happened was virtually their version of Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars not sorry!!!

Such an situation speaks volumes that indirectly impacts the entire indie gaming community. I'm very sure a lot of those developers are very kind people. The very last thing they need is something like this!!! Expedition 33 even apologized over it's AI ban on social media. Although it wasn't necessary to do since they didn't do anything wrong here.

It's like being on trial you just gotten found guilty for a crime you didn't commit. But eventually get forced to confess with hopes getting out of prison soon. I know I chosen a rather ugly reality for an example. This isn't even about which group you are in high school either thing. Personally I wouldn't even care which one you were in anyway.

The Indie Game Awards just shown their true colors. I refuse to support this game awards show. I will continue to support indie developers that's not going to change. This sorta came off like the spoiled brat that can't accept something. In this case they were that brat to refused accepting Expedition 33 belong in their awards show.

Officially another option which also would've upset people. Just not to this degree would've been don't nominate Expedition 33 altogether. It would've avoided getting banned altogether. Plus they could've eventually get in with another game. It wouldn't even matter if it were a sequel, a spin off or another game unrelated.

Even Steam Awards that doesn't do shows is better. Majority of it's process is the gamers themselves. I may criticize Megabonk being in a particular category. Although, I did start to see how it could have that effect on some people. The Indie Game Awards is quickly losing creditability. Expedition 33 didn't deserve such a treatment.

We don't even know they secretly wanted Blue Prince to win or simply not give the award to Expedition 33. Regardless which one that turns out to be? Things aren't looking great for them right now. I'm sure they had enough staff to prevent such an situation from happening. I highly doubt the person in charge went against everyone for attention.

Just imagine for a moment that was the reason. This game awards show further lost creditability. People already not taking these shows as nearly seriously anymore. Once in a blue moon I'm looking at you Nintendo!!! You get some games that wins people don't like. I mean come on Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds should've won Best Sports/Racing Game award!!!

This would be the usual drama of these shows. What just happened here was very unexpected in comparison. The entire situation made them look like crap. I seen crap that looks way better. Now that by itself speaks volumes how disappointed I am. End of the day, I'm quite sick hearing about this. Unfortunately what's done can't be undone.

Expedition 33 wasn't robbed no the game was used as a ugly message to everyone. This game has insane success that no body saw coming. Very quickly became one of many greatest video games ever created. I strongly felt they chosen to do this. Deep down they didn't wanna bend to everyone else. They wanted to be this rather negative fuse box that's about to explode.

I could get somewhat behind they didn't want to give Game of the Year award to them. At the same time, Expedition 33 was essentially the best among that lineup banned or not!!! Removing such a game bags many questions. A huge one I personally have is if Expedition 33 gotten treated like this. What future indie video games could end up with the same fate?

Another huge question is how they plan on moving forward from the situation? I think they might need a more clear guide lines to some of those rules. Which easily could've led to this situation. Then again, they started last year not as long as The Horror Game Awards coughs better awards show. All of a sudden that situation making more sense.

They are in the early years of their awards show. They still need to figure some critical stuff out. Where it stands I personally dislike how they're going about things. I do agree there should be one for indie developers. Just within five years, I played some truly amazing indie games. Possibly better than so many games I played during my childhood!!!

Honestly, this situation going to have long term effects. They shouldn't never done this period. I wouldn't be surprise enough indie developers decided to not support the show over it. In all honestly, that's where my money going!!! The fact this actually happened is a huge slap to indie gaming as a whole.

I'm very sure a lot of them aren't happy how The Indie Game Awards handling things. Indie games should allow everyone despite things. Expedition 33 at the time of it's nomination removed AI from the game altogether. I personally didn't see how the game broken that rule. Even if it still was in the game, their usage of AI is too small to notably affect things.

I wonder if there's an Dr. Sheldon Cooper among em!!! I bet someone in the staff absolutely loves trains!!! Honestly, I am effectively done with this show altogether. It's going to take them doing a lot of stuff over years to possibly fix some of the damage. Then again, the damage already done!!! What more could they possibly do now?

Expedition 33 didn't deserve this by any means. I haven't even played the game myself. But I did moderate someone that absolutely loved it!!! I seen enough of the game to know it deserved majority of it's awards. The Indie Game Awards isn't really for everyone. They secretly are quite bias towards em. Even The Game Awards has a better overall process going about things than this!!!

This doesn't even compare to The Golden Joystick Awards either. This month is filled with those shows. I strongly felt it's easily the worst!!! They shouldn't done an show this year if they didn't wanna do it. At least doing this to Expedition 33 is exactly what it sounds like!!! Whoever is in charge needs to do a full 360 to keep things going or end it?

My thoughts on One Piece sagas prior to the Final Saga

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, the author confirmed the final arc starting next year. Literately not much to go on. I figured I should reveal my thoughts on all the previous sagas. Prior to the Final Saga for a rather in depth view on the franchise. I won't go over every little thing. Do you really wanna be possibly reading until you reach your sixties?

East Blue Saga

1. Romance Dawn Arc

2. Orange Town Arc

3. Syrup Village Arc

4. Baratie Arc

5. Arlong Park Arc

6. Loguetown Arc

Of course where every great stories we gotta start from the beginning. A young boy named Monkey D. Luffy sets out to become a pirate. Majority of the First Saga is getting most members of his crew. All of these events took place in East Blue. The actual globe design of One Piece takes some time getting use to.

You can tell Luffy already making a difference in the world. We're in the beginner portions of a pirate crew's journey. You also will notice many things will get surprising references as the story goes on. East Bue Sagas as a whole is a great beginning point for such a long manga series. Still difficult to believe the author originally planned this to be done in five years.

A large amount of this was readapted through the live action show with some clever changes. This is among the shortest arcs despite every saga having huge amount of chapters. More than you would expect from other Shonen manga franchises. Yes this saga instantly became timeless. You already know there's something amazing about such a story.

Alabasta Saga

1. Reverse Mountain Arc

2. Whisky Peak Arc

3. Little Garden Arc

4. Drum Island Arc

5. Alabasta Arc

I felt this was the beginning of a particular ongoing theme. Luffy's crew ends up taking on an bounty hunter organization. This is also where there's much more going on than it appears to be. Originally started that also became an ongoing theme within the series. Luffy's crew saved an country from a tyrant.

The entire saga possibly shaped the franchise. Everything about it led to the story continuing to go much deeper. We are talking an war with surprising depth to the story. Somehow it works amazingly well despite things. We also get to see many things more clearly as well. The crew made it into the Grand Line.

Which has an unusual entrance method that easily could destroy ships. This isn't quite you congratulate from high school yet. You still have to complete the 8th grade. In other words, Luffy's crew still had so much to learn. The entire saga really stands the test of time. Honestly, a fantastic follow up saga. Plus more stuff from this saga later came up in the story is such a great sign.

Sky Island Saga

1. Jaya Arc

2. Skypiea Arc

One of the weirder sagas by far. We get to see the difference between bounties. Just not the way you originally imagine it. Some select stuff also came up later in the story. Which some having rather surprising connections to the greater overall theme. Ultimately, Luffy's crew found a way to reach an island that's in the sky.

Yes you heard me correctly in the sky!!! Which also could easily break ships. This is also the most we see of these islands in the series. Obviously, how things goes is vastly different from those beneath their island. Honestly, it was a rather unique concept to go for. We knew they often explore finding more islands.

We never expected one of their next islands at that time going to be an sky one. This also continued what started with Alabasta Saga. Luffy's crew even changing things high up in the sky. Suddenly they were truly something else. I also felt some aspects really helped them in later portions of the story. They do go back to the sea following everything to continue going for their dreams.

Water 7 Saga

1. Long Ring Long Land Arc

2. Water 7 Arc

3. Enies Lobbies Arc

4. Post-Enies Lobby Arc

This is a rather huge deal to talk about. It does start a little smaller with another pirate crew. Everything else was quite amazing. Luffy's crew comes to Water 7 based on Italy. They even have a train that operates through the water. Unexpectedly mysterious stuff started to happened. Which led to the crew trying to save a few people from the World Government.

This even goes bigger with a large amount of the story taking place. At one of the three main government buildings. You could say all hell break loose there. This really gives you a good idea how the World Government actually operates. A rather chaotic situation with the crew gaining a few more members.

This also started another ongoing trend. We get to see what happened following such an event. You better get use to that quickly. This arc really opened up the possibilities for the series. By now you also noticing how well the author writes so many characters. The crew had many obstacles on the way. They effectively saved another location from tyranny.

Thriller Bark Saga

1. Thriller Bark Arc

One of two sagas to only have one arc. This is a rather unusual one in many ways. The actual following island so happened to be a gigantic pirate ship I'm not kidding. Which means trying to find it can be quite a struggle. The crew on that ship were more freakier than anything the crew faced before. It's a great one to read close to or on Halloween.

Some unexpected huge twists that heavily impacted the story. The crew had several unnatural factors yet came out on top. This felt heavily Michael Jackson's Thriller inspired he he!!! This arc led to things I really didn't see coming following it. The crew kept improving themselves in some way. Not only that, they always come out on top with their backs against the wall.

Some would even describe some of this particular arc. The author must've been on drugs lol. It's such an out there concept that somehow fits in. Way better than anyone could've possibly imagined!!! This is proof the author is a gifted writer. They get an unlikely new crew mate. Honestly, some of what had happened gets mirrored more recently in ways you can't expect!!!

Summit War Saga

1. Sabaody Archipelago Arc

2. Amazon Lily Arc

3. Impel Down Arc

4. Marineford Arc

5. Post-War Arc

This is a really huge deal to discuss here. The crew gets unexpectedly split up. Don't worry this eventually worked to their advantage. The reminder of the arc heavily focuses on their captain. He desperately tries to save his brother Ace from a public execution. He even goes inside another major World Government building.

You know one of the three main buildings of theirs? Some gigantic surprises right up to the end it's that great!!! The author proven he's the best with so many characters during a war. This had so many things going at it. He ended up making it a truly epic event. Everyone dropping everything to see this play out!!!

To me this is easily among the most essential sagas in the story. This alone further steps up the ending. In so many ways with possibly more connections getting confirmed on the way. What was one of Luffy's worst days led to his crew stepping up their game for the future. A sad ending with a surprisingly bright future ahead.

Fish-Man Island Saga

1. Return to Sabaody Arc

2. Fish-Man Island Arc

I know it's a little weird the crew goes back to a previous location. Their next actual destination so happened to be deep within the sea!!! Fish-Man Island suddenly in the exact opposite direction from Skypiea. In terms they had to figure a way to go so high in the sky. Now they gotta reach an island deep within the ocean with it's own obstacles.

I'm very glad this concept was in the actual story. We get to learn more about locations not from above or the usual islands. This eventually led to another kingdom getting saved. This also centered on racism to a degree. It was quite interesting they got to interact with fish people. Some aspects being similar to Arlong Park Arc with some connections to that.

This saga might not have the same impact as some of the previous sagas. What it does have though is the crew constantly changing things for the better. We get some deep lore with a few characters we didn't expect. Honestly, the author did a great job writing it. This also was right before we actually get to see what the crew could do since they were separated.

Dressrosa Saga

1. Punk Hazard Arc

2. Dressrosa Arc

This would be a spiritual successor to two sagas. Being Alabasta and Thriller Bark sagas respectively. Yes just like those the main antagonist was a former member of the Seven Warlords. Indirectly some of this connects to a character you don't expect. They reach an island that's half extreme heat with the other being extreme cold.

Yes how this happened does get explained. After stopping an incident that occurred there. They reach Dressrosa in a familiar situation. By now you already know they ended up saving another country. All of this plays into a later saga as well. The crew had some strange situations on those islands. Obviously I prefer Dressrosa Arc more for many reasons.

Both were vastly different arcs leading up to an inevitable confrontation. This also had some surprises in later sagas no body saw coming. Both of these incidents caused major changes to the world. Honestly, the range this author can write is truly impressive. We're getting such a story we could pass down for generations I'm not kidding.

Whole Cake Island Saga

1. Zou Arc

2. Whole Cake Island Arc

3. Levely Arc

The beginning portions focuses in between the present with flashbacks. The present following what happened while half the crew back in Dressrosa. Indirectly leading to a huge surprise with a particular character later on. This also further solidifies the inevitable confrontation. By this point, three emperors saw Luffy as a thorn to their sides.

A former emperor Big Mom gets into an unexpected war. Several assassination attempts failed triggering that. The odds was really against the crew this time. Somehow they ended up getting the last laugh. This also marked the crew was on the verge becoming a future emperor crew. We also got to see some strangely interesting locations.

Let's put it this way Willy Wonka has a factory lol. There's some surprising further back story to a particular character. Not only, we get a more clear idea how an emperor crew does things. For once, the main antagonist doesn't lose in the traditional way. But more of her reputation getting ruined following things.

Wano Country Saga

1. Wano Country Arc

This is a rather difficult saga to break down. I am going to give it my best try though. From Dressrosa Arc, we knew Luffy had unfinished business with another former emperor being Kaido. This also ends up bringing Big Mom into all this chaos!!! Now two emperors were working together. Luffy had to work in a huge alliance once again.

Half the crew reached Wano first. The remaining half with a new member later on reached the country. Of course, we go right into another huge war. Similar to Summit War Arc, emperors were involved. The author put a lot of years into this!!! We get very deep dives of everything!!! I do mean everything especially lore.

It's safe to say this further set up the ending for the story. This ended up being a massive mile stone for Luffy. Officially leaving the country as one of two new emperors. Effectively means he's one step away becoming the King of the Pirates. Wano works way better manga wise from it's anime counterpart. The pacing is no comparison way better in the manga version.

So many things directly tied together as well. A possible set up for a future member. Directly mirroring another famous character the saga heavily references. Keep in mind, this is before Egghead Arc. Wano Country Saga was a true master piece!!! Wano being based on Japan was done perfectly!!! This arc had plenty of surprises as well as twists.

Honestly, this is among the most essential sagas in the story by far. You already know a large amount of it will be connected in the later portions of the story. No one was expecting this much story!!! At the same time, those really into the story. Simply couldn't get enough of this because it's that damn great!!! You could make a great movie maybe two out of all this particular arc.

Conclusion

For a story almost written for three decades. One Piece is easily the most constant manga series. This story is mind blowing awesomeness!!! There's such deep lore with many surprises on the way. Plenty of characters to love as well as dislike. In every possible aspect the perfect Shonen manga series. You really get it all that's amazingly done incredibly well!!!

This story won't end for a long time despite being in it's final saga. Luffy's journey going to be among the greatest stories ever written!!! I easily could see some people treat the story as a new religion. I'm quite serious if you got about it the right way it works amazingly well. One Piece is a story that has something for someone.

The insane range of the author you just never know what's going to be in the story next? There's plenty of people with their own in depth theories about it's future. One Piece already the best overall selling comic series in the world!!! Honestly, a lot of people just don't know what they're missing out on. One Piece is essentially the greatest pirate story ever written period!!!

You get more than enough everything you just want more. You easily could just read this an entire year. You would be amaze how well that works!!! One Piece is something you can't copy neither recreate. I don't even think the author himself could do either. A true testament how great this story actually is!!! One Piece is going to have an ending so great the world can't believe it ends just like that!!!
