Yknow with more 3 screen time if they kill him the same way they did axol

Also I don't think the episode was the end of Mr puzzles because

if it was that's just sad

if it isn't though. We'll. We could have a repeat. Just in a different context. A little different vibe. But same nonetheless.

'but why don't we kill four-' he's the main character the series is called smg4 not Mario and friends or something

so yeah uh anyways three will die tragically one day and I will be the first one to bet on it

(I DONT HÂTE THREE OR SMG34 IM JUST SAYING. THERES DEATH FLAGS)

Absolutely! I’m 100% sure that we haven’t seen the last of him yet. The recent SMG4 community post mentions that we will possibly be seeing him again if we want more. And considering the amount of positive feedback of Mr.zestfest over here (even outside the community which to me is crazy), I’m very positive we will be seeing him again. Just not right now as things need to chill for a bit. And when he does come back, who knows what he’ll do next?

And yeah, I feel like if they were to kill off one of the idiotic lovers, it would definitely be Three. Of course, we’re talking very very hypothetical. They’ve already done so much for SMG3 (merch and development wise) that killing him off would set half of the fandom ablaze, and cause issues within the show itself. And also, I just wanna point out how tragic each couple presented in glitch productions is.

Literally haven’t seen a happy main couple yet (swag and sonic don’t count in this case). Axol literally had to sacrifice himself by making MELONY kill him. Right after they both confessed to eachother. And then N and Uzi having there own situation right now (Uzi literally scarificed herself. And she’s in space. I think, I’m not entirely educated on MD lore). Oh, and I don’t know if this counts (I’m sure it doesn’t, but just because they were close friends) Meggy and desti. Desti was killed right in front of Meggy, and she could not do anything about it other than watch. AND THE THING IS, even if desti did live, Meggy would have been the one to die based of the episode “SMG4: WHAT IF?….”. Doomed yuri goes crazy actually.

But yeah. Imagine if they were to actually make SMG4 and SMG3 cannon. Something is bound to happen, and it would not end well. Not sure what it would be, but it would definitely doom their relationship 😭

#smg4 #smg3 #smg34 #im confident that they wouldn’t kill three or four off #because they are like #fan favorites and main characters #in which their deaths would affect majority of the series #but I still wish for something tragic to happen to them #not death though 😭#…#maybe a little but VERRY /hj #Also I was gonna mention Belle and Lucinia #but I never watched meta runner #so I don’t know if they’re cursed with doomed relationship problems #anyways #enough rambling #Hope you enjoy it though!

My opinion/review on Hello Neighbor Hide Seek is it good is it bad in my opinion

So this isn’t my first time doing this I did this with the animated series which I think people forgot but I forgot as well I was kinda working on editing some of my posts cause you seen how horrible my camera is...

yeah no one has to lie about the camera I know it horrible and I’m sorry for it I’m trying to do better with it but still I was browsing around my posts and I found this and I remember how much I enjoy putting my opinion out on it and for some weird reason I decided to go a headed and start another one so yea today we are talking about a game that I know very well hello neighbor hide and seek

so yea were talking about this game and I want make it clear that this is my opinion and that it okay to disagree or even agree and make your own opinion on this game but I hope you enjoy it so what do I have to say about it.

Hello Neighbor Hide Seek is.....

IS A DISAPPOINTMENT REPETITIVE EXPERIENCE:

( help me )

I pretty sure people thought that I would give it a good review hahaha

and yea I love Hello Neighbor mainly the lore and set up and characters but it was never the games I mean Hello Neighbor was something I wanted to get my hand on but when I played it unfortunately it was um well...

yea ( hello neighbor 2 not included it actually good maybe ) but I can tell you how much worse this game is and I’m telling you it is. If anything this game is a sad excused for a game if it is a game I can’t even tell you how much I HATE THIS TORTURE OF A GAME I mean it I can go on and just keep complain on how much I hate this game and how I want to stomp on it with my custom made baby sea leather boots but you know what I won’t instead let me explain on why I HATE this game sorry there no a escape.

1 gameplay

THE GAMEPLAY IS BANTHA DODODO I mean it to give you a example here

( this is also what I decided to do instead of playing or was it crying while banging my head against my wall or..........was it both )

but yea the game play is god awful you think they would take a hint on why people didn’t like their first game I mean it this is just sad so the gameplay actual sounds fun basically what you to do is you have to search this big map to find hidden stuff that you need to collect so you can progress and go to the next level but you have to watch out for your evil brother who is a zombie if he ate his own farts instead of brains.

Got all that good cause it awful so from my gameplay you have to run around this waste land and find all of them while doing puzzles but the problem is the everything basic the whole game is you trying to run around this clutter mess of a place with no idea where the things are or where to start for a an example.

There is a brick that you need to a escape this game by knocking yourself out with it or putting something in your brother egg shell of a head your choice but yea you must get it the only problem is that it could be anywhere so you know what you have to do what you have to do is search high and low but it impossible the brick can usually be in a unreachable place or block by something or you have some puzzles that annoy you the whole time the puzzles in this game are clever and creative but their not enjoyable at all but I will give them this there are creative and some can actually be enjoyable but for the most part their not their mostly frustrating and more of a pain in the neighbor’s chin but yea you have to keep running around this giant landscape like crazy and yea that is the gameplay but it could of done better but no instead you have to run around while wasting hours of your life ( including installing the game ) looking for something that ether on a tall place or a bottom place it can be anywhere and you are given nothing on what you have to do and yea in hello neighbor they do the same thing except your are running in Mr Peabody and Sherman time low budget mansion and I must adress that there are hints that you can use but here the problem all they do is show you where it is not even show you on how to get there and why is it even a hint it showing you where it is it like not even caring it just like “ well you can’t find it it up on that mountain of Mr.Peterson fire works that he has because he barely in this game good for him but still it dumb that that you have to search everwhere and have to search high and low for this brick and when are given a “hint” you have no idea on how to get there.

2 AI or in this case your dog who is barfing because he had too much disappointment chips

do I need to even explain

HIS FART FOR BRAINS IS HORRIBLE I CAN’T EVEN TELL YOU all he does is run around the place........that it he doesn’t do anything else other then try to catch you which is again useless cause you can easily out run him and hide and that it and if you hide in front of him don’t worry he won’t catch you cause you hid in a bush that it like why he doesn’t do anything he doesn’t set traps he doesn’t throw anything at you nope all he does is run after you like that is the dumbest thing you can do for the antagonist of the story. You remember hello neighbor yea I’m going to say it the neighbor glue jar fart brain is better then this and I mean it at least he tries to trap you I mean it he actually a challenge unlike patrick star over here. I mean it can’t get any worse

wrong so if he catch you too much well then he steals one of the bricks yep all those bricks that you worked so hard to find is placed in some random place yes ALL THAT HARD WORK FOR NOTHING NOTHING LIKE YOU SEE WHY I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS GAME IT BECAUSE THE BORING LAZY NO CLUE GAME PLAY THE NERF TO THE GROUND AI AND THE ONE THING I HATE MORE THEN THAT IS......

3 THE STUPID CHICKEN

does anyone want roast chicken wings or maybe KFC well then LET KILL THIS ANNOYING BASTARD AND KILL IT KIDS TOO OR I WILL

4 the story

okay the story um it actually good no joke it actually a good story and I mean it the story start off happy then it works it way to being depressing in the first cutscene you see the whole house being all nice and beautiful just looking at it you can see how happy the Peterson family are the tone is amazing you can just see the emotion of the character and even the rooms tell you the tones of how every body is feeling here I’ll show you

happy

sad

you see there clearly effort put in here but only for the story and tone not the gameplay and now that I think about I’m more disappointed because the story is really good and the tone is perfect but the gameplay the al the goal is all so awful it really sad because this game has a great idea and story but it care was put in the story and tone and I’m not saying that you should mainly focus on the gameplay but you should at least give the gameplay care and make it fun so people can not only enjoy a good story but a good game so overall after every thing all I have to say is that this game is so bad in my opinion it is easily the worse hello neighbor game to play if you want to see the story just look up all cut scene that all you need to do but if your looking for some fun well your not going to get it here instead play the first game hello neighbor 1 because you know what it can actually be fun sometimes at least not act 3 but still what I am saying is that this game is awful now if you excuse me I’m going to watch shark tale just to see will smith fish face just to make me cry and good day.

Saturn Games

12 Sega Saturn Games All Gamers Should Play

After the 16-bit console war between Sega and Nintendo, Sega started to noticeably lag behind. However, just because consoles like the Saturn and the Dreamcast weren’t extremely successful in sales doesn’t mean their library was lacking in awesome and weird genre-bending titles.

Not every franchise got to “graduate” from the fifth-generation of consoles, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t fantastic. Modern gamers might not know much about these, but these are truly memorable Games From Sega’s console-exclusive heyday. Get your hands on these games however you can; they’re really unique experiences on a very distinctive console.

Guardian Heroes

Before Castle Crashers showed off how fun a beat-em-up can be with RPG mechanics and simple combos, there was Guardian Heroes. This game was well-received when it originally came out on the Saturn, but now, it’s largely forgotten. The series has a spinoff on the GBA and a port to Xbox 360/Xbox One, but other than that, there’s been no word of a sequel or revival–not even a rumor.

The game controls like a fighting game with juggle combos, aerials, special moves, and a mana bar. There are only six characters playable in the story mode (two unlockable), but there are fun multiplayer versus modes to mess around with. After defeating a character in the story mode, they’re unlocked for use in multiplayer, and the combos can get pretty crazy with six concurrent players.

Dragon Force

Dragon Force is from an era where “RTS/Tactics RPG” wasn’t that unique of a genre. Nowadays, we have Fire Emblem, but Dragon Force was smack-dab in the middle of a golden age of Langrisser, Fire Emblem, Final Fantasy Tactics, and many other SRPG hits.

Something that sets Dragon Force apart from its peers is that it focuses on large-scale battles instead of small-scale ones. The fights aren’t duels like in Fire Emblem; generals can collide with 100 troops on each side, duking it out in skirmishes. Time passes in “weeks,” which lets the plot advance while you make out-of-battle decisions.

The game sold well at the time, but its sequel (also on the Saturn) never left Japan. No one spoke much about this game after the Sega Saturn kicked the bucket, which is a real shame; Dragon Force is a true diamond in the rough.

Astal

Action platformers were falling out of vogue by the time the Sega Saturn hit the stores. Astal, however, came out early in the system’s lifespan, and was still able to capitalize on the craze. The titular character Astal can grab and throw objects or enemies. He can also slam the ground and blow big gusts of air. On top of that, he has a super meter that commands his bird companion to bounce around, knocking out all enemies on screen.

This is a fun asymmetric co-op game, too. The second player plays as Astal’s bird companion, instead of just a palette-swapped version of Astal. The bird has his own unique set of attacks, making this game worth checking out with a friend.

Astal is short, but has challenging gameplay backed up by a unique hand-drawn aesthetic. Many indie games nowadays use hand-drawn graphics as a selling point, but it was really rare during the fifth console generation. The main character has had cameos in other Sega games since, but there’s no word of a sequel, revival, or crossover with another franchise.

Mr. Bones

At its core, Mr. Bones is an action platformer about a reanimated skeleton that can lose and regain limbs instead of using health or lives. That’s not totally accurate, though; certain levels were based on non-platforming genres, with rhythm game elements, Breakout-style gameplay, or perspective changes. It’s more like Lawnmower Man on the SNES rather than Castlevania.

The first run-through of the game is extremely silly and fun, especially going in blind. Getting used to the “skeletism” meter to replace the traditional health meter takes some getting used to, but it creates a fun sub-game of trying to hang onto all your bones. It really sucks not having your legs and being unable to jump in a platformer. Mega Man wouldn’t be as fun if he had to climb on the ground with his arms–but that’s part of what makes Mr. Bones so hilarious.

Mr. Bones had a very polarized reception, with some critics praising how much variety there was in gameplay while some others would have just preferred a normal platformer. This isn’t the greatest platformer of all time, but sometimes it’s just worth playing a game where the developers threw caution to the wind and put in every single gameplay function they felt like.

Policenauts

Before Hideo Kojima made Metal Gear Solid, he was making story-focused adventure games for a variety of platforms. After finishing the cult cyberpunk game Snatcher, he set to work on Policenauts, a sci-fi story about astronauts that are also law enforcement officials. It came to the PlayStation, the PC-9821, the 3DO, and of course, the Saturn.

Policenauts is like a cross between a point-and-click adventure game and a visual novel. It’s interactive, and requires the player to be a good detective and figure out the right dialog options to select and the right items to interact with. The Saturn version is also considered superior to other ports because it has first-person light gun segments not seen elsewhere.

There is an unofficial translation patch available for the Saturn, which uses dialog from an earlier fan translation for the PlayStation. If you want to see where Kojima honed his writing chops, play Policenauts. You’ll be the cool person that’s already played it once it gets an HD remaster.

Note that this came was never released in the U.S. and can only be played on Japanese Sega Saturn Consoles!

Princess Crown

Do you like classic beat-em-ups? How about collectible armor and items? Do you like a cutesy anime style backed up by serious gameplay? What about classic RPG enemies and locations with high-quality pixel art? If you answered yes to any of these, pick up Princess Crown.

Princess Crown is the brainchild of Capcom veteran George Kamitani. Because it was released near the end of the Saturn’s lifespan, it was a commercial failure, which led to Kamitani getting blacklisted in the games industry. He later went on to found Vanillaware, which re-established him as a developer.

Princess Crown’s core gameplay went on to spawn many spiritual successors, such as Odin Sphere, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, and Dragon’s Crown, all made by Kamitani. It’s great for the industry to have specialists like him.

Note that this came was never released in the U.S. and can only be played on Japanese Sega Saturn Consoles!

Mystaria: The Realms of Lore/Blazing Heroes

If you’re a fan of classic grid-based tactics RPGs, give Mystaria a try. The graphical limitations of the Saturn give it a unique, blocky, and vibrant aesthetic. There’s twelve special characters for you to get, and the story changes depending on who you want to recruit first. The story is not that complex, but being non-linear is a huge plus for keeping gamers engaged.

The menu system for navigating combat is cumbersome at first, but once you get the hang of it, it’s fluid and fast. Plus, there’s a first-person camera mode, which is novel and weird. Try to play it in that mode, because you can’t get that in many other tactics RPGs.

Take a look at Mystaria if you feel like seeing what was once considered “next generation.” The game might seem archaic or underdeveloped now, but when it was released, Mystaria heralded what RPGs were going to look like, with 3D spells and effects backed up by camera changes to create cinematic fights.

Mystaria was released in North America as Blaze Heroes; they are the same game!

Crusader: No Remorse

There aren’t many games by Western developers on this list, but Crusader: No Remorse has definitely earned its entry. It uses pre-rendered graphics with an isometric perspective, much like the original Fallout or Diablo games. The gameplay, however, focuses on shooting, action, and interactable environments rather than RPG mechanics.

The environment destruction and playability is really where this game shines. There are alarm switches, non-combatants, puzzles, and a perspective that supports tactical gameplay rather than run-and-gun shooting. Most of the objects you see can either be destroyed or turned on your enemies in creative ways. If there’s a trap set for you, you can set it for somebody else.

There’s a sequel titled Crusader: No Regret, but it is only on MS-DOS. The first Crusader is actually recognized as an inspiration to the Fallout team. If you’re a fan of post-apocalyptic Western games, No Remorse is worth playing alone just for its contribution to the genre.

Die Hard Arcade/Dynamite Deka

Die Hard Arcade isn’t extremely faithful to the movie it’s based on, but the liberties it takes are genius. To start with, it’s a beat ‘em up that focuses on fighting game-style combos and improvised weapons. It also uses texture mapping that gives it a realistic feel, not unlike the sports games of the era.

Beat ‘em ups were falling out of favor at the time (much like tournament fighters and 2D platformers), but Die Hard Arcade kept things fresh. It’s got classic mainstays of the genre, like end-level bosses and two-player co-op, and the game brings with it a simple 3D setting and a boatload of attack options.

It’s short, but you’ll be happy to play it again and again, using new weapons and trying new combos. It’s really hard to beat crime bosses on the head with a broomstick. (Plus, Dynamite Cop on the Dreamcast is a great sequel, even though the setting is obviously different.)

Last Bronx

Last Bronx is, in many ways, a distinctly Japanese game. The setting is an alternate-future Tokyo where gangs and criminals rule. It’s a 3D fighting game that plays a lot like Virtua Fighter, but without ringouts. All of the characters and locations are unmistakably Japanese, with little room for the “worldwide fighting” variety the genre usually features.

Even though gamers in North America didn’t give the game too much attention, it was an instant classic in Japan. Casual gamers loved the variety of modes, the weapon-based gameplay, and the fluid animation. The graphics are better on the arcade, but the Saturn version is no slouch.

If you end up liking the game, there’s comics, a novel, radio dramas, and even movies to go along with it. Don’t bother watching the movie if you’re not a fan of the game, though…it’s pretty rough.

Magic Carpet

Peter Molyneux is popular these days for two things: over-promising on series like Fable, and getting mistaken for Stefan Molyneux. In his heyday, he was the king of making solid games with innovative aspects, like Black and White. Even before that, though, he worked on Bullfrog’s Magic Carpet.

The title describes it pretty perfectly. It’s a 3D flying game where you control–you guessed it–a magic carpet. The goal is to destroy monsters, collect their magic mana, and use it to build up a castle in each level.

The game is subtle, smooth, and some pretty simple fun. It’s great for zoning out with the lights off, flying around in the early-polygonal 3D environments and enjoying the sprites and spells. It probably won’t end up being your new favorite game of all time, but it’s a unique experience for the Saturn.

Theme Park

No one needs to be told that Roller Coaster Tycoon is a great series, and they’re undoubtedly some of the greatest games of all time. Before there was RCT, there was a game simply titled Theme Park, developed by Peter Molyneux and his crew at Bullfrog Productions.

The gameplay is self-explanatory for anyone familiar with the sim genre. Set up your rides and manage the logistics of the park. Try your best to keep it clean, keep it profitable, and most importantly, keep yourself from getting addicted. There are some elements in this game that aren’t seen often in other sim games, like managing the park’s financial stocks and negotiating business deals. Once you’ve made enough money on one park, you can auction it off and make another on a new plot of land.

Theme Park saw high critical acclaim upon release. Even though there were plenty of sim games sprouting during the fifth generation, Theme Park had a playful aesthetic and wasn’t as serious as Sim City or other competitors. Like many other sim games, it was developed with PC gaming in mind, but the console ports (including the Saturn) are just as smooth.

What if Grandpa Mutou challenged Father Bakura into finding the Ring?

(Click below for crack mun musings. Aka: Thoughts that run through your brain as you lie in bed b/c you don’t want to get up.)

We know Grandpa Mutou has large network of friends, peers and colleagues. He's addressed as "Doctor" which implies he has a Ph.D. then we have Professor Hawkins, and the (student?) Alex Brisbane. All interested or know about the interesting history of Ancient Egypt, Millennium Items, it's lore or something similar.

So, it wouldn’t be far fetched to say that there is a collective interest in these items. Bakura's father is describes as someone who knows a lot about ancient artifacts, is an antiques dealer and owns a museum. There are 2 renditions of him from Bakura's memories, one a muted blue haired, small framed man in your stereotypical archeologist brown canvas outfit with a pair of near half moon glasses, then in DSOD, we have the focused, broad shouldered, thick rimmed glasses, facial haired, bow tie, decked out in a nice tweed professor suit in the middle of Egypt, father. That being said, a quick Google search of the biographies of museums like that of the Natural History Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Arts, the education level for an Art Curator or Museum Director is that of a Masters or a Ph.D. So this kid's dad is not some simple treasure chaser, and the first homely rendition of his father buying the ring off a street vendor is likely a lie Ryou tells to himself and others.

We know that Grandpa loves games, his dialogue when looking for the Millennium Puzzle is so Indiana Jones he might as well be, he travels, interprets, he reads, he risks and he continues to show that anticipatory excitement and curiosity as his grandson solves the Puzzle. We also see how he likes to talk games with is best friend Professor Hawkins (to anyone really, even goes out to meet with that Brisbane because "games!"), and both their grand children share their love of games. So Gramp's thrill game seeking habits has not died in his old age and is willing to gamble his life for a good game. Then, we have Bakura's Dad, who is described to have been searching for the Ring for most of his life and is depicted, in both renditions, an intellectual man, the second having a similar air to the young Solomon Mutou. With similar interests and maybe personalities, it could be possible that they would have known each other in passing and shared discussions.

Their age gape could easily place them as Professor Motou and an undergrad or graduate level Mr. Bakura. And with Grandpa's light personality, habit of making side remarks, and gambling nature, it would not be hard for him to light heartedly challenge a young rising student or researcher of ancient studies and/or ancient art history, like Bakura's dad, into looking for the other Millennium artifact that rivals the Puzzle that he found. He may have even been the one to mention the rumor that the Millennium Items can grant wishes or bestow ancient power as a playful tease. Such a conversation would be nothing underhanded, but as a possible deliberate nudge, and to a young Mr. Bakura, it may feel like a hint of recognition and respect from the acclaimed Dr. Mutou. And the wish or power aspect of the Ring only coming into play after he loses his wife and daughter.

So I surmise (yes only surmise b/c I'm not going to do too deep into crazy evidence, that's just not me), that beyond Shadi, Grandpa Motou possessed an extraordinary amount knowledge of the Millennium items. And once he had found the most sought after treasure, he was done, but trickled down whatever knowledge he had of the other items, likely the Ring, to another. Because out of all the records of the items that could have been created, I would guess that there would be more written about the connection between the Puzzle and the Ring, especially because it was the Pharaoh with the Puzzle that sealed away a great evil into the Ring, that’s an important history connection.

And that’s all I got for you. That was all for fun btw.
