The game remains as dedicated as ever to it's third-person in-world HUD, but we must question whether that actually makes things any scarier.
Finally, the show Bryce Salads and Brent Sticks have been itching to create for weeks: A page-by-page discussion of every page on the wiki for the 1990 film Ghost.
Nickelodeon was at the height of their powers in the 90s when they decided to start throwing more and more Nicktoons down the chute. This led to them trying to capture the grotesquery of Ren & Stimpy without any of its transgression. Thus, Aaahh!!!

The Oregon Trail is a simple game, but it’s timeless. The Amazon trail is complicated and involves time traveling magic panthers, and nobody has thought about it in thirty years.

It’s time for another McDonald’s episode because they released a new game on the sly when they brought back the Changeables Happy Meal Toys. You know, those little toys that are like Transformers but the “disguise” form is food that scientists labored over to make sure you’d eat it forever.
