My thoughts on three horror Popeye movies 1st trailers

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, a few months ago I talked about public domain characters getting used in horror movies. Well this is a direct continuation where I share my thoughts on three particular horror movie trailers. All of which Popeye killing people yes you heard me correctly. Being a huge Popeye fan myself, I had to do this on my blog.

Although they were all meant to come out this year thanks to Popeye becoming an public domain character. It's not clear if some or all of them going to come out. I still going to share my thoughts on each Popeye movie trailer as how I see em. Just wanted to make that clear, I do wanna see these Popeye movies soon.

1. Shivers Me Timbers

This sorta plays off The Blob 1958 version. Where an meteorite fell to hit somewhere in the ground. This movie's Popeye gets exposed to it that turns him into a monster killing people. It sorta comes off a bit generic or rather a cheap excuse to have Popeye kill people. You don't see much of the character in the trailer either.

I kinda liked he has a huge bone in his mouth. I guess the actor wasn't allowed a pipe on set. Maybe they changed a pipe out for a bone to help people instantly get this is a horror take of the character. Indirectly they think the audience is stupid by doing that. It's currently scheduled to come out on April Fools Day.

What else was shown is some of the characters interacts with an old man. I didn't know this until IMDB page on the movie. Some of the other Popeye characters are technically in the movie. By now the world getting sick of Mickey Mouse horror movies. I do think the movie possibly better than that trailer.

An interesting movie fact, this Popeye movie going to play off the 80s. You may wanna expect a lot of references as you watch the movie.

2. Popeye's Revenge aka Pops the Slayer Man

More recently as of a week ago a trailer for this movie finally gotten released. I personally liked it more than Shivers Me Timbers. We do get to see more Popeye within the trailer a good sign. The movie is treating Popeye as a cheap knock off of Friday the 13th's Jason. You can tell this is a low budget horror movies by how the other characters acting.

I am also not that crazy for Popeye's appearance as well. Even Shivers Me Timbers had a better looking Popeye from what was shown. Of course, a lot of dumb teens going to get slaughter. So many horror movies do this. I would say at this time the trailer comes close to working. Just like Shivers Me Timbers, both seem to be missing something to pull in your interest.

Popeye's Revenge taking place at a summer camp possibly not a good idea. Unavoidably people going to compare it to Jason. At one point I Know What You Did Last Summer Fisherman got treated like that. I felt parts of the concept is coming more off as a mockbuster than a surprisingly fun horror movie.

An interesting movie fact, the same company responsible for The Twisted Childhood Universe. They stated this Popeye movie isn't in that universe despite also made by them.

3. Popeye the Slayer Man

This is actually the horror Popeye movie I wanna see the most. I knew as soon as I first saw the trailer. I'm aware some people dislike Popeye's appearance in this. I actually like his appearance a lot despite how buff up he is. Like Popeye's Revenge, they also treated Popeye as Jason. I kinda felt The Mean One did a little more to stand out from other stuff.

I absolutely loved the gore shown in this trailer. I may not know any of these Popeye movies' budgets off hand. I'm going to say I felt this one had the most money by far. They also tried to explain why Popeye kills people within the trailer. This felt like it should be the best out of the three horror Popeye movies by far.

What differs this from Popeye's Revenge is a factory instead of a summer camp. Some of the characters plans to do an documentary on Popeye. Which is indirectly similar to Halloween: Resurrection. Where they live streamed inside Michael Myers' house. Somehow I felt this movie going to be better than that.

An interesting movie fact is they going to use real practical effects instead of CG for the gore. Personally I recommend this a lot more it just works amazingly well when done right.

Final thoughts

I know it's getting ridiculous public domain characters becoming a cheap alternative for horror films. Especially in this case with Popeye whose a really ridiculous comic strip/cartoon character. Which by itself makes people wonder how they plan to go about the character. Obviously he can't be too strong even for horror movie standards.

The fact we possibly could end up getting three horror movies where Popeye kills people is mind blowing. It seems they wanna keep making horror films. At the same time, they can't paid the owners of copy right holders. Which is exactly why they are using public domain characters. Simply because they're in there, they can use these characters in anyway they want.

Plus they can not get sue over em either. Some people love loop holes like this. Popeye getting three different horror takes within a year. I guess nothing going to keep him down. Just make sure you hid cans of spinach you should be fine. I just felt they easily could've went more ambitious than this.

If I were making a horror Popeye movie. I would've had the character be a ghost sailor traveling the seas. Sorta similar to another movie, The Fog. He would appear in fogs while killing people. The only thing that can stop him is destroy the last can of spinach he had before he died. His life suddenly had unfinished business since he never finished that can off.

Now doesn't my idea of a horror Popeye movie sounds interesting? As a sailor he should be traveling the sea like he does in comic strips and anything based on em. Which is exactly why I did expect a bit more than this. There's no way they're so desperate to rush these Popeye movies out.

I don't think they're going to be better than the live action Popeye movie. You know the famous Robin Williams Popeye movie? What I did respect more about The Mean One is how they went about changes from the original story it's based on. In all honestly that movie was more creative than any of these Popeye movies!!!

I could criticize The Mean One for having too good of a trailer. When the actual horror film turned out to be a huge disappointment. I still say Popeye the Slayer Man trailer my favorite of the three Popeye movie trailers. I just wish they would've gotten a bit more creative with the character. To me I simply wanted a nice change or two that would've made it stand out more.

Let's be honest two of them are directly ripping off Jason wasn't a good idea either. You also expect me to directly rip off some of Jason's famous kills. Suddenly they're setting up a higher standards they can't satisfy. At the same time possibly upsetting Jason fans as well. If I could ask for any of these Popeye movies to do anything.

I do wanna see a surprise usage with a can of spinach. In most things Popeye, cans of spinach are his power ups. Originally it was a bird prior to that, I looked it up a while back. I wanna see a can get used as a weapon against people. Maybe see a can somehow used as a weakness to em. Which could be seen as a silly horror movie weakness.

People still wanna see how spinach fits in with these versions of the same character. Popeye without his spinach is like The Punisher without his trademark symbol. You can't have em without something we all know the character has in some form. I just don't want any version of Popeye to simply have a tattoo of canned spinach.

To me that would be incredibly disappointing as well as very stupid. You are virtually cheating us out of what we asked for. If I can see an evil Santa throw a star from a Christmas tree get used like a shuriken on people. Then why not have Popeye use a can of spinach against em in a similar matter?

I am just surprised none of them are possessed. You either expected that or people dressed up as these characters. The later starting to be a lot of horror Mickey Mouse movies. I'm just glad all of them are actually Popeye. I just felt a bit cheated how they went about these movies. Especially for a character as rememberable as Popeye!!!

I'm not trying to put these Popeye movies down due to being notably low budget horror films. I sure wasn't expecting this concept to be done by a major movie company. Then again Universal previously done their Krampus movie. I do hope all of them gets release. Hell Tubi could stream all these Popeye films free.

Thus a lot more people can see these movies than some of the alternatives. There's a chance YouTube could have em on there like The Mean One. I don't think all the companies comes together to do either a triple discs DVD set or a digital movie bundle deal. Although either could've been a good idea to score a few horror films in one go.

I do wanna see these Popeye movies do better than expected. I'm not expecting any of them to get onto movie award shows by any means. I just hoping they just don't flat out suck bad. Which is a strong possibility considering the concept here. I know some people wanna check these Popeye movies out.

I felt at this moment they gotta finish their productions. Which will be easier than get the movies on a platform the world can see em. I just don't think the big streaming platforms going to do more than one of these Popeye movies. It's even possible none of them gets on any of those platforms. I just hope any company following these Popeye movies goes into a more creative direction.

Death Battle Fight Prediction: Ghostface (Scream) vs Kevin McCallister (Home Alone)

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, just when I given up hope for a new Ghostface match up to overtake Ghostface vs Fisherman. Here comes a rather unexpected one that's a lot of fun to discuss. I would even say very outside the box. This screams my childhood in the 90s in a way I never expected.

I know I'm hyping this up a lot. Death Battle already discussed today's match up last month. Considering it's been snowing where I'm at. Somehow this match up comes to mind. We have Ghostface from Scream series taking on Kevin McCallister from Home Alone series. I know what some of you likely going to say.

"This doesn't make sense or really this now a thing?" I could go on but this match up surprisingly works. It's kinda genius how two characters from the opposite movie genres works this well together. I guess this technically would be my Among Us vs Fall Guys lol. I absolutely love this idea with a huge passion.

I still got some stuff to point out for this to help prevent some confusion. I'm not considering Home Alone 4 that also had the McCallister family. It's quite obvious it's a different universe counterpart of the same family. Also it's both easier and tricker to go an composite Ghostface for this. At the same time, composite Ghostface could be an interesting obstacle for Kevin.

Also I'm not considering Scream show. In particular Scream: Resurrection as it counts as an alternative universe to the movies. In the case of Scary Movie 1, it could heavily impact this match up. It also would take away what exactly making it a huge request as well. I rather keep the request the way it is.

Verdict

Kevin McCallister

Two popular characters from the 90s that heavily inspired their respective movie styles. Ghostface being from a horror movie franchise while Kevin from a more family friendly comedy movie franchise. In a way they go about surprise attacking people. Ghostface often waits for opportunities to surprise attack his victims including faking being dead or passed out.

Kevin quickly mastered the art of setting up traps. Depending if Kevin trapped the area out or not heavily impacts this fight. Assuming this could take place in the McCallister house. Kevin already starts the fight with a huge advantage. Also regarding Ghostface uses horror movie trends to act out plans.

I will try to paint a picture to explain why that matters a lot more than you realize. Most Ghostface characters are more notable about horror films. There's little to no comedy knowledge among em. This is bad because Ghostface can't predict all the possible traps. Sometimes Kevin plans for a surprise addition to a few traps that usually involves him directly.

Then again if any of the killers knew comedy films. It's debatable if they seen anything like Home Alone series. Which is sorta a comical sub genre of another sub genre Die Hard franchise started. Weird right what started as an sub genre for action films now indirectly one for comedy films too. The point is Ghostface still going to be clueless what's coming their way.

Obviously Ghostface can't do that here since Kevin a comedy movie character. Which also impacts some surprising advantages Kevin has as well. Jill whose one of the Ghostface killers in Scream 4 gotten shocked in the head by her cousin Sidney. In comparison, Kevin trapped a sink downstairs to electrocute Marv.

Notably he survived a more lethal dose of electricity with ease. Kevin always can one up anything Ghostface is doing during this fight. Speed is possibly the closest stat here. We could argue Ghostface being an adult while Kevin an child wins most stats advantage. I also could argue a few times Kevin possibly faster than the fastest we ever seen Ghostface move as well as react.

Which is strangely a weird comedy movie character advantage in this situation. Ghostface often loves to call up his victims to taunt em. But Kevin has tricked the staff of an hotel with using his favorite movie to terrorized em. It's no secret, Ghostface likely fall for this trick too. He is even clever enough to fool people into thinking he's not alone in his family's house.

Look I know about the famous Robot Chicken sketch. Where they swapped plots of Home Alone 1 and Halloween (2018 film). Which ended with Kevin getting murdered by Myers. I don't think Ghostface going to get a solid opportunity to do the same. Kevin even trapped a place in New York.

He still held his own against the Wet Bandits. Which also plays into another advantage Kevin has over Ghostface. We could do the average amount of killers being two. He successfully beaten the same criminals twice mostly by himself. Obviously these criminals are adults as well. Ghostface would have the advantage of being in more locations compared to those Kevin been to.

People don't even realize a surprising connection these two have. Both been in New York in a sequel movie. Home Alone 2 is way better than Scream VI. Therefore, they also could do that place Kevin trapped to better set up this fight as well. I really love ideas like this that constantly giving me ideas lol.

Kevin would be smart enough to be fooled by Ghostface's calls. Kevin also knows the locations he trapped very well. It's not often when Ghostface uses traps either. Then again even if Ghostface had that going for em. Kevin likely know how to use em against Ghostface. The fact Kevin can easily kept preventing a direct confrontation is critical here.

Ghostface prefers to get in close with his victims. Kevin can easily get around em being much smaller. Kevin also does plan on getting chased. Ghostface simply can't keep up with Kevin. Some attempts to sneak into places are also trapped. It's impressive a child pulled this off twice by themselves.

Which also plays into Ghostface thinking Kevin not going to be bright a huge mistake. Kevin has counters to nearly everything Ghostface could do in this fight. Kevin will read Ghostface like a book the entire time. Even if Ghostface gotten the drop on him. Kevin usually lucks out in those situations.

For example in Scream 3, Ghostface set up this trap to build up a house. By tricking someone to light something on fire to trigger an explosion from the gas. Any of the Home Alone kids would quickly notice traps like this to prevent em Kevin included. If Alex could trigger the leader bad guy with a toy gun.

Then what would prevent Kevin tricking Ghostface with a toy knife or gun for that matter? I never said I wouldn't bring up similar situations from stuff not considered. They just aren't directly considered into this for fairness reasons. At the same time, I could see Kevin swapping Ghostface's knife out for a toy.

Obviously this would be an one on one fight. Although it also could work as an two on one fight. Both are creative to a degree there's no hiding that fact. Ghostface's advantages almost don't matter much. Sure Ghostface killed a lot of people compared to Kevin mostly dealing with two guys. Being an adult, Ghostface without protection would be tougher to hurt or knock em.

Not to mention, he can easily reach things simply out of reach for Kevin. Honestly stuff like that can be easily ignored. What does matter is Kevin constantly proven to be more difficult to predict. Let's be honest, this kid more creative than anyone who ever was Ghostface. Kevin is also skilled at pissing people off.

In Scream series, the killers doesn't often fair well when that happens. I seen their movies I do believe Kevin got a huge shot to win this fight. Let's talk about the famous throwing bricks scene. Realistically one brick thrown from that height hitting a person's head is death. Home Alone series is more ridiculous with physics in comparison.

The Wet Bandits had a lot of similar stuff happened to them that also happened to Ghostface. I already compared getting shocked earlier. We can compare getting burnt realistically what happened to Harry with an flame trap would've killed him. It's safe to say in most regards the Wet Bandits notably tougher than anyone who ever was Ghostface.

Once again a notable amount of Amber's face in Scream (2022 film), she struggled. In comparison after Harry felt into another trap involving a toilet. He was fine enough to continue pursuing Kevin. I could keep comparing the Wet Bandits to Ghostface. It's safe to say they easily survived stuff that'll kill Ghostface.

This also means Kevin can handle the superior stats advantage Ghostface has over em. Which usually doesn't happen on Death Battle. I also liked this being a rather unique game of wits. Ghostface eventually going to be unmasked. Although by this point, Kevin guarantees his victory. Kevin simply has too many advantages to lose this fight.

The best way to sum all of this up is the moment Ghostface gets near Kevin's location. Either being the McCallister house or that place in New York. Kevin starts winning this fight with the traps doing most the work. Nearly every trick Ghostface could pull automatically backfires. It's almost as if Kevin controlling the battlefield the entire time.

Ghostface simply lacks a solid counter to get around any of this. Even if there were a few of them trying to get the kid. There's little to nothing they bring to the table Kevin haven't seen before. Not to mention how dangerously creative he is. Ghostface is going to lose this fight no matter how it plays out.

Winner: Kevin McCallister (Home Alone)

More connections these characters share to help make it more clear why people want this so badly.

1. Both originated in an 90s movie franchises that inspired their respective genres

2. Both involve family to a degree

3. Both often use surprise attacks on their victims

4. Both are skilled at fooling people about their identities

5. Both used to dealing with multiple people

Kevin tricked a pizza guy to deliver pizza. Then scared em off to get free pizza. He literately used his dad's credit card without permission to stay at a hotel. Just in case anyone forgotten any of those.

Kevin's family mostly away while he's stuck being alone. Some killers were related to each other as well as related to Sidney.

Neighbours from Hell series (2003-2020)

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, I quickly decided to cover a short comedy game series. It virtually went under the radar until recent years. I still can't believe a game series like this exists!!! I'm here to review Neighbours from Hell series. I previously stated this was a must for my Funny Christmas purchase.

Neighbours from Hell (2003)

Neighbours from Hell 2: On Vacation (2006)

Neighbours Back from Hell (2020)

All these games are so similar it's not often I directly point stuff out. On both Steam and GOG, when you buy Neighbours Back from Hell. You get also get Neighbours from Hell Compilation. Virtually the original two games is already a great idea. The main goal is constantly pranking your neighbor. Yes an entire game you gotta be a real prick to your neighbor by doing a lot of pranks.

Half of Neighbours Back from Hell as well as Neighbours from Hell 1 takes entirely inside your neighbor's house. You sneak inside to quickly move in between rooms to collect stuff. Officially this franchise labeled as strategy, puzzle game series. To me, it's more of a comical stealth game. Not in the same way UnMetal was for the stealth genre either.

You gotta sneak around setting up planks while not getting caught. If you get caught three times you'll lose. The other half of Neighbors Back from Hell and Neighbours from Hell 2 is a different ball game. It's true in the original Neighbours from Hell you also had to sneak around pets. The only decent "pet" if you wanna call em that is a poor pig that gets eaten in another level.

In later levels you get to explore more of your neighbor's house. This game doesn't hold back on delivering the punishment to em. There's some slap stick humor to a degree. Neighbours from Hell 2 has more characters with majority of them simply being within levels not even given names. The only newer character named is Olga whose your neighbor's love interest.

Around half way through Neighbours from Hell 2, you also gotta avoid your neighbor's mom. She only cameo through a picture. In some levels you used a marker on the picture as a prank. She also accompanied by her dog. In the original intro to the first game these characters debut. Your neighbor gets a dog and a parrot that acts like an alert system.

You better get out of that room before your neighbor shows up. What makes Neighbors from Hell 2 stand out more. Some levels takes place on cruises. The rest of them are in a few countries. Almost going around the world with this game. I also felt Neighbours from Hell 2 was notably funnier.

At times it's a more challenging game. Yes they do have some disgusting jokes as well. I felt most jokes landed I did laugh a lot. They give you just enough to work with. Some levels mostly in Neighbours from Hell 2 has a few interesting hiding spots. This sequel felt notably more creative with the concept.

It's bad enough Woody constantly pranking the neighbor at home. It's also being done live for an television show. We go from his neighbor's house to a few countries. At least you be willing if this guy deserve all of this. Very quickly if you watch the intro to the first game. He really does deserve Woody doing all of this to him.

You actually wanna root for Woody to get even with his neighbor. I felt more levels in Neighbours from Hell 2 were more notably different. You really can't repeat a lot of the same pranks. You could to a degree in Neighbours from Hell 1. I must give respect to the sequel being more ambitious.

It's so satisfying to pull off some pranks. Especially when you gotta wait for em to happen. Sometimes you could pull a few close by pranks. Almost like you're prank combo your neighbor. You really gotta pay attention to your neighbor then later his mom's routes. It's so easy to be stuck unable to avoid detection especially in the later levels.

Now I'm going to start comparing the versions. I must give a slight edge to Neighbours Back from Hell with it's controller support. Although it's still a small thing since it's originally an point & click game. Not like the interactive story games I played in the past. It still has some similar mechanics in terms of movement as well as picking & using items.

I gotta be honest I actually prefer the older versions more. I felt audio wise, those had better usage of audio. It's a little weird a particular character. In this case an director named Joe isn't even in the newer version at all. He also would do a few tutorial sections in the original games. Basically all of that is missing in the newer version.

Joe never shows up directly within the levels. You also see a dialogue screen with a picture of him. Which is notably different between the original two games. Even a few jokes are missing because of his removal from the games. It's hard for me to argue the newer version being the definitive version.

Another issue I sorta had is level selection screen. It's not bad in Neighbours Back from Hell. I just felt after playing Neighbours from Hell 2, it's such a huge missed opportunity. Let me explain, they mostly reused the level selection layout from Neighbours from Hell 1. Which does include levels from Neighbours from Hell 2.

Now it would've been awesome if they would've done a more ambitious level selection for the first game. Then give us this awesome recreation of the level selection screen from the second game. Both of those would've really made the newer version popped. Another weird change is when you are ready to finish levels from Neighbours from Hell 2 in the newer version.

You gotta find the finish flag area. Not get detected on your way to the flag. Then you can select the flag to end the level. Of course, it will depend on how many pranks you'll pulled off. You don't get anything if you level before you have enough to move on. In all games if you pull off every prank you instantly win.

Update: I recently realize since I wrote this. You pause the game you have finish the level option. Which means you don't have to go to the exits to finish em. I felt a little stupid not noticing that in the entire run of Neighbours Back from Hell.

I know some of you are wondering why am I complaining about this right? It's quite simple originally in Neighbours from Hell 2. When you done enough pranks, you simply click on the check mark to finish an level. Now notice how much easier that made everything? This is very helpful for the later levels dealing with two people you gotta avoid.

It's no secret Neighbours from Hell 2 is hands down my favorite game in the series. I will say in the other aspects of the newer version, it's quite faithful. The newer version is kinda impressive with what it does bring to the table. Originally a few levels from the first Neighbours from Hell weren't in the game. It's very accurate to how those games were.

They later had been added in since then. Some early GOG reviews weren't happy about that. The controls are quite easy to memorize. I also like some items has multiple usage within the games. Neighbours from Hell 2 has these item mini games. It does variety which object to use. Just like required objects to do another particular action.

You gotta keep within the circle or it'll rapidly go down. This process is made much easier in the newer version. Neighbours Back from Hell also added another item mini game mechanic. You gotta match up the only item that appears in all three slots. Doing so will give you that item. It's kinda rng based meaning you could get lucky to solve it fast or take longer instead.

After a while I didn't mind this mechanic much. It did make the game play a little trickier than it originally was. Don't expect Conker: Live & Reloaded changes in this. The achievements/trophies in the newer version is very straight forward. I'll be more direct just play through the game that's it. Sometimes something so simple leaves such an impact.

It's more straight forward than I expected. At the same time, you will be having so much fun pranking your neighbor. You don't really mind this lineup at all. It kinda helps I can directly focus more on playing the game rather than going out my way to do a few stupid things. I also liked doors or similar spots are like moving up or down the screen.

It's kinda like you simply appear above or below including the exact spot on screen those floors. At first it's a little confusing you quickly adapt to how they work. This is almost like how people wanted Home Alone video games to be like. I actually grew up with Home Alone on Sega Genesis myself.

In that Home Alone, you are setting up traps within five houses against the Wet Bandits. This franchise largely similar to that except you aren't defending your house as well as your neighbor's houses. No this is you secretly going to war with your neighbor by pulling off pranks. Now throw in further doing this while your neighbor on quite an vacation.

Look I never said to take this game series seriously. In fact, I highly imply to laugh out loud with em. These games were designed to go wild with pranks. Which are rather creative as these games goes on. The levels aren't take longer than necessary. Unless you really aren't sure what else you could do to prank em.

Obviously there's a couple television shows that's all about pranking people. A theme that likely continue on for years to come. I never expected a game series with that concept. Playing these actually reminded me of the classic cartoons I grew up watching. Personally, I really couldn't recommend this series more even if I tried.

You get to explore around locations that are rather amazing as well as beautiful in Neighbours from Hell 2. It's exactly how you want a game sequel should be. They literately gave you more than ever before. Honestly, it's mind blowing I didn't even knew these games existed. Until early on planning out my Funny Christmas purchase true story.

McPixel 3 (2022) review

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, today I'll review another game from Funny Christmas. I just spent the last few days playing today's game having so much fun!!! This is among my favorites within that purchase recently. McPixel 3 isn't just among the funniest games I ever played. It also one of the most creative as well as fun games as well.

McPixel 3 (2022)

It's a sequel to McPixel with a joke for McPixel 2 thrown around late into the game. To help any confusion, this is the only sequel game to exist. The main game play style is point & click. The game itself heavily centered around a lot of mini games. Usually in most games, mini games may differ on the amount within an game.

The main game usually the longest by far. Funny enough, it's the exact opposite here. I am serious, there's not much actual main game stuff. Mostly you get to explore to possibly buy areas for more mini games. You also can swap out skins in a store. Let me tell you there's a lot of them you can explore the map with. It's ridiculous there's so many mini games too.

You really can see the level of creativity had. A lot of them plays several different game genres. This almost felt like most games rolled into one. Somehow all this insanity works insanely well. This game truly was funny from start to finish. It's actually more fun to fail than to succeed. Sometimes when you do what you're suppose to do to win an mini game it's kinda meh.

Especially when the other failed options ends up being surprisingly funny. A lot of them you won't expect during a first playthrough I sure didn't. Some mini games you see this kinda interesting 3D indie style models. Some options just aren't clear how to go about em or you likely wouldn't even know they're options.

What I mean is some options are very unclear how to go about in this game. Once in a blue moon you'll see something. Suddenly it hits you, damn a lot of time I could've done this!!! You may experience that a lot especially with some of the later mini games. There's also several hidden mini games. Technically there's two categories for this.

The first default hidden mini games you first need to find Steve. Then you play as Steve for these weird mini games. The other hidden mini games you need to do particular options. Usually to win certain mini games to unlock em. One entire set of mini games is virtually guarantees you an 100% completion. Which is the heist set, it's more of a wacky story.

You play as McPixel whose a parody of Macgyver that's attempting to save the day. The more you experience, the more lively the open world becomes. They make earning money surprisingly easy. It's not like some expensive upgrades in Chicken Assassin: Reloaded. The most expensive location you actually get a choice that gives you enough coins to get in.

It was incredibly fun to achievement hunt this. Most guides do help point you into the right direction. Making sure you done everything within the mini games is most of the achievements. This would be a great party you could play with other people. McPixel 3 is packed with plenty of stuff to satisfy it's price of $9.99.

Even if it was a little higher I still felt it works. There's a few free DLC mini games as well. You will find em inside a mailbox when you start the game up. I also love after you see stuff play out for the most part. You simply hold down a button to speed through em. This really helps in so many ways. By the way yes all of this actually happens.

I am so deeply impressed how such a concept got executed this well. I actually gave this five stars on GOG. I simply love everything about this game. The few issues I had are very minor at best. This also seem to be the perfect game to bridge the entire Funny Christmas purchase together. I still got one more thing with the mini games to properly explain.

During a first playthrough for a set you keep going until you beaten them all. Sometimes some or all could be made golden meaning you done everything. The default completion color being silver is you still have some stuff left to do. You also can do Free Play to simply replay em for fun. McPixel 3 is very over the top in everything it does.

Yes it may get truly disgusting at times. Sometimes you might not even have the words among seeing stuff. The developer really thought of everything with this game. I also like I can swap between an mouse and my controller at times. This ended up being incredibly helpful for some options my controller had trouble selecting.

This game especially loves bombs because so many mini games has explosions. Surprisingly enough director Michael Bay isn't involved with this game lol. McPixel 3 without question was da bomb!!! Things sure gotten Dyna-Mite!!! This was a rather ambitious game that lived up to my expectations. I highly recommend checking this one out it's so damn good!!!

What If...? show Season 3 review

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, Just a little late to the party on this one. As many people knows What If...? show ended with Season 3. I personally wish they would've continued with the concept. I actually got a lot to talk about here. I'm way behind MCU stuff despite all of this happened outside the main MCU universe.

What If...? show (2021-2024)

This is also going to be my overview perception of the show itself. Just in case you might be confused by some stuff I'm going to be saying. I felt this was the perfect blog entry to conclude everything regarding the show. I just hope for those that reads it enjoys as well as possibly understands the show more.

This is more directly a review of the third and final season. All three seasons all these seemingly unconnected events coming together for an epic finale. Sadly the final season an episode shorter than the usual nine episode seasons. This show covered some really interesting stories that's more unexpected as well as unique to the main MCU universe stuff.

The Watcher always been the narrator within these stories. You get a great idea how an multiverse actually works with this show. They clearly loved Howard the Duck, he's given a lot of rememberable moments. Very true in the final season now having a daughter. I didn't mind the main multiverse group being women this time around.

I was kinda glad finally some X-Men love in the form of Storm helping out. She also so happened to be a particular universe's Thor too. Now just try to imagine how truly terrifying that is. Plus a surprise upgrade she's way scarier with those powers than Thor ever could've been. By default, she already controls the weather to insane degrees without em.

I really wish they would've had more episodes with Storm. I'm a bit disappointed some of the other X-Men members like Wolverine didn't show up. I would've love to see Nightcrawler or Gambit even give me Rogue. I felt some stories were a little more interesting than I realized. I knew an Howard the Duck episode was going to be quite interesting.

A major spoiler since Season 1, other watchers kept an eye on The Watcher. When he kept altering people's fates by getting involved thus saving their lifes. They had enough of him breaking the rules in their eyes. This led to a group of heroes from a few universes to work together to save him. You still haven't heard the biggest twists yet.

Trust me when you find out about em even outside this review before I'm going to spoil em. You really wouldn't see either of these coming. This group tried several methods to get roughly where The Watcher is. One of them decides to convince Infinity Ultron to help. Yes the main antagonist of Season 1 Ultron to go rescue The Watcher.

Which actually ended up happening following her kidnap by the other watchers. I didn't expect Ultron to give his life like that. The Watcher gave this group rescuing him similar powers to his people. By now you know the most epic fights are usually at the end of the seasons. I can promise you, this lives up to that.

Agent Carter whose Captain Britain in her universe ended up giving her life. This surprisingly caused everyone else to be in an universe created by a particular Dr. Strange. Who so happened to be the main antagonist of Season 2. In this universe, the other watchers had no power there. They finally listen to what The Watcher been trying to tell em.

I think by my understanding of the ending is the watchers more willing to prevent multiversal destruction. Previously they would've allowed such things to happen. I did like Birdie whose Howard's daughter a lot as well. They kept getting actors from movies and shows to reprise their roles. This show really had so much more to effort.

Although the new ending would better suited for Dr. Doom's epic plan coming in the near future. There's a great ending that successfully concluded the show. I would say for once every episode of the season worth checking out. To clarify, some of my favorite stories are in the first two seasons. They still planning an Marvel Zombies spin off.

The closest continuation of this show in some form. Personally they easily could've went with a more interesting idea than well zombies. I could name a long list of franchises with zombies. Eventually you grow tired of them, the same inevitably going to happen here. Also I felt What If...? show already done enough with zombies.

I am just glad that version of Thor didn't fully show up in the final season. I did however like Loki from that universe. Then again, Loki among my favorite Marvel characters. Just when you thought you seen it all this show quickly throws that out the window. I actually liked the first story of this season. Where The Avengers uses mechs to fight off Hulk creatures.

I'll give em credit for going with this concept. Not a lot of people knows this about Hulk. Everyone knew Hulk was Dr. Banner's Hulk. The part they don't know is Hulk himself has his own hulk too. I am not kidding, I was even surprised to learn of this myself. Plus now they actually done it on this show. The creature in question simply called the Apex.

This hulk like creature spawned an entire army of similar beings terrorizing the world. I didn't expect a strong first episode of the season honestly. This felt like how I wished the final season of The Flash gone instead. It's a little weird a handful of characters aren't used since their episodes. When usually everyone gets involve to take on a greater threat at the end of the seasons.

The show did explain somewhat what happened to other members of the multiverse group. It's virtually if you beep you'll miss it thing. I always praise the animation to a degree. I also liked the first trailer for the final season a lot. Despite they made it clear this is the final season part of it. I actually felt if the show were to continue.

It could've helped MCU when going through some bad decisions. Now it's over they have little to nothing to fall back on. Especially considering that show allowed many, crazier possibilities. To say I'm disappointed by them ending the show isn't enough to come close to how I felt about it at all. This show really helped bring new life into parts of an concept that's no longer exciting anymore.

The best way to explain it is simply comparing it to The Simpsons' Treehouse of Horror episodes. Considering both franchises currently owned by Disney I'm allowed to make this comparison. By default those episodes aren't canon. Thus they are allowed to do several concepts originally not possible at all to do on the show.

This is a little different because a lot of stories happened across the MCU multiverse. They still would be canon for those universes. The point I'm trying to make here is this show allows them to go with concepts beyond the normal scope to a degree. We even had multiverse at risk for destruction a few times on this show.

Now that's already bigger than any other crisis they dealt with it in the main MCU universe. This show simply allows them to have a little extra fun with some characters as well. A major reason why Howard the Duck appears a lot as a result. Even when they go dark, it's much darker than they normally would go.

Some of these stories are several different takes of the apocalypse. Which does include the famous zombie apocalypse among them. I even felt if they kept the show going long enough. We might've gotten a very interesting Dr. Doom episode. They could've even done one with Galactus or Dormammu to a degree.

Dormammu does briefly appear in the final season. Personally I prefer his appearance on Spider-Man the Animated Series more maybe that's just me. I also felt this show was the perfect way to properly represent the multiverse concept. A lot of people didn't like a particular Dr. Strange movie that attempted to do the same.

I think a major reason why this show worked while that movie didn't. This show simply had more of a longer, overall length in comparison. Also we get a much better look into several universes than what was shown in that movie. Also considering Phases 4-6 largely about the MCU multiverse. It actually helped to some degree in what it brought to the table.

This show felt like a couple shorter MCU movies. Yes some stories get a little cut short. Some I felt went a little longer than necessary. A handful of them I actually felt had the perfect length. One of my favorite episodes I previously discussed to a degree was a particular Die Hard inspired episode. Which is also still among my favorite parodies/recreations of that film to date.

Stuff like that episode simply isn't possible in the main MCU at all. This show was rather outside the box to a degree. I really love the creativity they went for a lot of stories shown. Another great story was the Avengers gets assassinated in rather clever ways. Even Mysterio gets to be an antagonist again. I kinda indirectly made it clear my two favorite episodes of the final season.

What If... Howard Got Hitched? and What If... What If? are amazing episodes. The big Howard the Duck episode ended up being more important than you realize. Previously, he was an ally within several stories. For once, Howard finally given the spotlight. Let's be honest, MCU isn't going to give this duck his own movie or show.

Last time they did that turned out horrible. I guess now they finally justified the character. Not to mention, delivered a decent Howard the Duck adaptation people can be truly proud of. It sure took a long time Marvel for that!!! His wife in question is Darcy yeah the one chick in some Thor movies. When I found out about this couple it instantly worked in my mind lol.

Everyone wanted their child whose mostly in a huge egg. We get to see all this chaos indirectly caused by Howard the Duck for once. We get to see a surprising, caring side of the character. This had plenty of twists to kept things interesting. I really enjoyed this episode with a huge passion. I highly recommend people check this particular episode out.

I already said plenty on What If... What If? since it's the series finale episode. I will say I couldn't think of a more perfect ending than this. Everything about that episode really worked insanely well. It really was among the greatest written stories ever!!! I would even dare to say my favorite season finale episode.

This show really had potential to be much bigger than it already is. I didn't think I'll enjoy it this much since I gotten into it. God some of my favorite shows ended last year. I guess either a surprisingly bad year to television or it simply was the perfect time to end em who really knows. This show also helps people to understand The Watcher's role more.

It's a truly difficult job to simply watch multiple universes. Especially when you know those universes for different reasons going to be doomed, you aren't allowed to get involve to save em. Some people probably would love this job since all you do is watch that's it. You kinda relate to how he felt with many situations.

The season finale episodes felt greater than some of the biggest MCU events they ever done!!! Once again multiversal destruction comes to mind here. Just when you thought two Avengers movies were epic. You clearly didn't see those episodes lol. All the possible directions with the multiverse they could've done.

I wouldn't be surprise someone created an unofficial season to this show in some form. Which I may support depending on things. A lot of these stories simply works for being something so different from the main MCU universe. A few changes can go a truly long way. This show is clear proof of that in a nut shell.

I usually don't support multiverse shows. In particular strongly dislike Dragon Ball and Mortal Kombat's take to that concept a lot. Somehow Marvel did it just right with this show. It's a huge risk to use characters in such ways. At the same time, nine out of ten times it works incredibly well here. It may not be the greatest MCU thing in existence.

What this show actually is possibilities. Stuff that could've happened that still do in other universes. This is beyond time line confusion. Yeah we're going full blown multiversal here. Which by itself can be rather confusing stuff as well. They even handle the concept better than DC's Arrowverse for that matter.

I even felt some characters were given much better usage within this show than outside of it. Which is another major reason I liked it so much. They made versions of characters I ended up liking more for the most part. Including that version of Storm among my favorite versions to date. My favorite version is X-Men the Animated Series/X-Men '97 version.

Just imagine The Fantastic Four if they had any episodes in these. Sadly that's staying strictly an What If? within our minds. I do like Thanos does show up a lot within these episodes. Some appearances being strangely interesting to a degree. Thanos is among my favorite Marvel villains to date. The guy whose Black Panther in most MCU universe was Starlord in a particular one.

Now that's another great episode I highly recommend as well. Some of these stories were simply too great of an idea. Sadly plans to make a spin off of that version of the character scrapped following the actor's death. The only show I can remotely think of that's better with the multiverse concept is Rick & Morty.

To clarify since there's two shows now. The original cartoon show, I heard bad stuff about the anime version. At least I can say this show better than that Rick & Morty show. The more I talk about this show the worst I felt about it being over. Although writing how I'm feeling about it to a huge degree helping me out a lot.

I simply wanted others that loved this show as much as I do to continue loving it. If you know some people that wants something different. Maybe you want to inspire others to love Marvel more. I felt this show would be a great one to introduce to them. Especially if they don't know the characters it won't matter at all.

This was among the most ambitious MCU shows they ever done. Mostly done with CGI animation that works wonders. Amazing art style especially when it gets altered to a degree to better fit several themes. This show really had so much going for it. In all honestly it's a real shame it's done for good now. I can only hope the future MCU going to be a bright one from this point on.

I especially loved how involved Samuel L. Jackson involved with this show. Jackson is among my favorite actors ever. You can tell he had a lot of fun on this show too. He played several universe counterparts of Nick Fury on this show. If anyone could pull that off, you better believe it's Jackson!!! What If...? show should be given a medal or two for going the distance it goes with the stories.

Chicken Assassin: Reloaded (2016) review

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, today I'm going to review a game GOG previously done giveaway. You simply go to their website to claim the free game it's yours. This particular giveaway was prior to me buying my Christmas purchase by a couple days. I even considered this game for that purchase until the giveaway happened.

Chicken Assassin: Reloaded (2016)

Chicken Assassin: Reloaded is an updated version of an old game. Parts of this sorta came off being an mobile game. I hope you love clicking a lot because that's mostly what you're doing here. Usually I don't play clicker games because it's little to no effort for mostly boring games. Somehow this particular one kept my interest.

Not to mention, this game is surprisingly funny too. The story involves this chicken guy trying to save his girl from a doctor. Who kinda looks like the Monopoly guy I'm not kidding. You will lose a lot at this game. Thankfully you get to keep experience regardless to help you improve your chances. You get to use souls to purchase upgrades.

The game has plenty of methods to getting more souls. There's a couple levels that offer some creativity among em. There's a lot of bosses with mostly mini bosses. You virtually are fighting hordes of enemies in every level until the boss is defeated. You can customize your character in multiple ways. Some of which will also help improve your chances.

Such as stuff you can wear as well as wielding weapons. Outfits wise they gotten quite creative, I loved that!!! Some levels you will feel your hand or hands feeling the intenseness of the game play. You may wanna take a break following a level or two. I didn't figure out how to pause the game honestly. There's a lot of upgrades that will take hours to get em all.

You also have Boss Raid that requires additional stuff before doing. I only done the first one prior to this review. You would be amaze how fast you level up in this too. I personally prefer games that speed up the leveling from those that takes forever to level up. Not to directly insult RPG fans in that department. You get the bare amount of story imaginable.

Sadly after finishing what technically was the last level. You get this weird cliff hanger into going to the past fighting Vikings. After you beat that stage which could take a lot of attempts to do so. Guess what virtually nothing follows it. The game also offers a harder variation of that level being endless. I rather every level had the option to do endless like Brotato.

Yeah Brotato will be getting reviewed very soon as well I was keeping that as a surprise until now. Back to this. Chicken Assassin: Reloaded simply does wonders. I can't really criticize much due to the later upgrades fixes those problems. Yes the enemies can be a little cheap at times. You always will have a fighting chance in this.

Achievements are surprisingly straight forward with a few interesting throw away ones. Those being direct social media links to the developers responsible for this. I do love you also have the option to beat up a pot. Including upgrades you aren't alone doing that. You may take a little time getting a lot of souls for upgrades.

This was notably better than New Joe & Mac to me. Mostly you are clicking the hell out of your mouse while playing. At the same time, I gotten way more excited. The game does have some rather funny jokes thrown in. Even if I had bought this I still would've been happy about that. The fact I gotten this free virtually priceless!!!

Brotato (2023) review

Hello everyone I'm XboxClown89, here's a particular game I been playing on and off Game Pass for a few months. I previously played hours of Vampire Survivors. Then I ran into Brotato which funny enough I ended up liking more. I kinda felt bad I literately just found out Xbox versions of this game came out last year.

Which means I could've had it in my Games of 2024 list had I known sooner. It's a real shame too because I really enjoyed this game a lot. It would've ranked high as well for that matter. I also wasn't ready at the time of that list to even review this game. I guess the more honorable thing to do is give it a late honorable mention for that list.

Brotato (2023)

Similar to Vampire Survivors and Renfield: Bring Your Own Blood. Brotato is a similar style game you play as potatoes I'm serious. Each potato character differs in a few ways to help em stand out more. I could be wrong I think each character has their own stage. Don't expect a lot of stages as in Renfield or any stage being looping repeatedly like in Vampire Survivors.

You might be surprise a few areas I felt Brotato does better in. Such as melee is mind blowing in comparison to those games. Melee with the right set up you destroy bosses quickly. You can also use projectiles as well as guns during the game play. Most potato characters can wield up to six weapons. Which kinda crazy when you think about it.

They can be either the same weapon or each hand wielding six different weapons. I do love the randomness factor in what you could get. After finishing levels you can use your currency to get some upgrades or additional stuff that could help to some degree. The leveling is balanced for the most part. Sometimes you level up faster while other times it'll be notably slower.

You also can make your run make Endless which is a lot of fun too. I didn't like in Vampire Survivors, how they went about time limits. Where reapers instantly comes to kill you even if you have multiple lifes. I do greatly appreciate Brotato doesn't do that. I also liked the interesting art style as well. There's a lot of achievements that's fun to go for.

The stages are roughly big enough. Some later levels if you are doing normal runs will get a lot of enemies. There's a lot of potato characters to play as. I don't own the game neither the DLC which adds more characters. I can tell you this game will keep you busy for hours. Brotato is a surprisingly fun roguelike shooter game.

I personally love the audio in this as well. I'm quite impress with everything they were able to pull off. I also love I can play this with one hand too. Literately just moving one of the thumb sticks you're good to go. Maybe I love potatoes too damn much lol. I never thought this game going to be this much fun!!! A high recommendation to please go check this out it's currently on Game Pass if you're on Xbox.

Now I figured I might get ask not to cheat my list in question or anything. This is simply what if Brotato had made the list. Where would the game be within that rank? Well I would say likely in number 5 where Puppet Master: The Game currently ranked at. In all honestly, it's a great game to play that's surprisingly refreshing.
