Is there anyone else out there who is reading Kings Maker: Triple Crown on TappyToon? I'm playing the fuck out the games to earn points to unlock chapters and I need someone to rant to about the story.

I'm rewatching The Thing since it was just added to shutter.

Blair gets mad at Clark because he let the thing dog wander around the camp instead of immediately putting him in the kennel with the other dogs.

I honestly think this wasnt a mistake because they dont know that new dog, they don't know what it's like. It could be a psycho dog that likes to attack everything and putting it in the kennel would only start a huge dog fight. The few hours it had the run of the station let then know that the dog was chill and could be left alone with the other dogs.

They had no reason to believe it was a hungry alien looking to eat and imitate every living being in its path.

I've been writing a fanfic in my head about Ash, Mia, and Beth creating a support group for survivors of the books of the dead.

It's just them telling their stories and comparing notes. It's a hard topic for them but it's nice to be listened to and taken seriously.

Except no one believes Ash when he tells them about the army of skeletons he fought when he went back in time.

Finally watching Spiral! Considering I spend a lot of time thinking about the Saw series I should have watched this a long time ago.

Onto reactions!

Ew, the two things I hate most: sewers, and public port-a-potties. I loath using port-a-potties.

Oooh, updated realistic pig mask! I like!

Ah, the tongue trap I've seen in so many thumbnails. It's even worse when you see hes hanging by his tongue over some kind of flimsy little stool.

Going back to the old box TVs? Must have raided a goodwill.

New voice sounds weird, not sure if I'm okay with it. You'll see.

Okay, pretty iconic sequence right off the bat. Super uncomfortable looking trap, good buildup, lots of blood. A real saw movie.

My rebuttal to Chris Rock's rant about Forrest Gump is that Jenny did not ask Forrest to do any of that and... oh shit, it's the po-po. But I guessed Rock was a cop from the promotional material but this was a good reveal.

So 12 years ago was the Saw 6 and 7 era. That was a time where people would have wanted dirty cops turned in. Hoffman was on a fucking killing spree, gotta nip them in the bud.

It's nice to know that if my dead body was ever found, the cops would immediately take me seriously because my fitbit would tell them that I'm not unhoused.

Jigsaw used an old ass tv in the trap but a USB stick for the video. I guess it's near impossible to find any tapes or tape players.

Putting bad cops in traps... I like this.

That box that guys tongue, isnt it? Yep.

"Damn n**** wash your hands" she told him to get out, he can use hand sanitizer.

Wow, such realism. Someone turns in a cop doing bad things and now they're the bad guy. It's almost like the cops are protecting bad cops.

Is this the first time we meet a victims wife or family member after their death? No one usually gives a shit about them. Good expansion.

"I heard about Boz. You alright?" "No, I'm all fucked up". First time I've seen someone fully admit to being distraught over the death of a friend.

"Dont drain my battery watching Twilight" what is this, 2009??? Wait, is this 2009?! Is this like Jigsaw where- oh wait, they just showed them with smartphones, my bad.

I forgot to turn in subtitles, they make watching movies so much easier for me. And now I can spell everyones names right.

You're looking for a copycat of Jigsaw, the guy who kidnaps and tortures 'bad' people, and you walk into an abandoned building alone? You deserve to die now. The message from earlier even specified that they were going after crooked cops.

Oooh, this trap looks interesting. I havent seen any images of it before.

Zeke, stop trying to ruin other peoples marriages. Not everyone needs to be as miserable as you.

Tip your delivery driver!

DONT FUCKING TOUCH THE BOX AND USB BOX WITHOUT GLOVES. ITS FUCKING EVIDENCE.

I see, the pig theme is being used to mock the police here.

TOUCHING EVIDENCE WITHOUT GLOVES. AGAIN.

OH NOW YOU PUT THEM ON

And now I see it, all the cops that hate Zeke are also bad cops. It's almost like the force is full of bad cops and when the one good cop turns one in, they get ostracized.

I'm trying to see the point of the cage on Fitch's head. Maybe to keep him from chewing through the wires around his fingers.

I know someone who almost lost her finger during an archaeological dig. An accident with a sawhorse I think. She still can't watch hand trauma scenes.

"John Kramer didn't target cops" Eric Matthews, Rigg, Straum, Perez, Carrie... Hoffman only got involved because of his fake trap.

Okay, what is Banks Sr out doing?

ZEKE! GLOVES!

Dont you have bomb sniffing dogs? Have one take a whiff, easy.

It's the skin from someones head- SCHENK. I LIKED YOU.

Wait, theres always a mole in these movies, someone on the inside pulling strings. Schenk is new, too new to have done anything too corrupt. The only way to positively identify the body would be with dental records. That might take a minute to obtain and analyze.

Okay, I may have seen a small spoiler a few months ago about who is the mole, but I cant positively remember if it was Schenk or not.

They must be raiding antique stores now to get these tape players.

'Sever your spine or get covered in hot wax'? Really thinking outside the box here.

One killer to make a diversion, one to trap Angie? Banks Sr and Schenk working together?

I'm going to be totally wrong and suckerpunched out of left field, arent I?

Yes, he is too close to this. He needs to be taken off the case and given a horse tranquilizer.

WAIT THE FIRST SMARTPHONES CAME OUT IN 2007. THIS COULD BE 2009. I forgot to pay attention to anything that could date the time period.

Banks Sr walked into that one... literally.

As a cop, you should be trained to pick a handcuffs lock, just because. Oh wait, do you know how to pick handcuffs? Holy shit, you have a useful skill.

Oh, hi Pete. I guess someone stole Pete's badge and password to erase the footage. Zeke should have realized that Pete would not have walked into the police station with everyone knowing who he is.

I guess we are in a recycling plant?

Zeke just jumps in and starts helping. See, Jeff? I mean, Pete is bleeding out the mouth so hes 100% dead but Zeke did his best.

Yay, Schenk is alive!

CHARLIE

Wait, wouldnt they have noticed that the tattoo was fresh? Fresh tattoos look different from healed ones. Schenk's tattoo is healed and old.

You know you die waaaaay before all 1.5 gallons are drained.

HE MADE HIM INTO A PUPPET

Oh hey, this was Bousman? Nice to see you back in the saddle. Great quality work this time.

Holy shit, I'm feeling super emotional. Great use of the Saw theme at the end there, great payoff to everything. I literally said 'pulling the strings' earlier without realizing how true it is.

I say this is a great offshoot to the Saw storyline. John Kramer is not involved, he only inspired the killing spree. The title is great because Schenk leaned into the spiral motif to emphasize a symbol used by Jigsaw that was not Billy. 'From the book of Saw' is giving me 'Cult of John Kramer' vibes, which I like. It shows how he was so influential as a serial killer who targeted 'bad' people in an attempt to reform them that other people began to copy him. I can see so many others trying to be the next Jigsaw. Of course, Schenk did all of this for personal reasons to seek revenge. Besides Cecil, Kramer actually wanted people to survive and be reformed. I dont think Hoffman cared if people won or lost, but he still made all the traps survivable. One step up from Amanda.

I'm now super interested to see where Saw X takes us. Saw in spaaaaace? Smashing someones face with liquid nitrogen? Uber-Jason?

I'm rewatching Evil Dead Rise and I have a very important question.

If we took the blood from the elevator, whose DNA would be in it? What blood type would it be? It is just a mix of blood from the bodies of those whose souls were claimed by the deadites?

Just thinking... in case of a police investigation...

I'm rereading black butler again and I'm putting sticky notes on every page that hints at the twin reveal.

#black butler #black butler manga spoilers #black butler spoilers

[kubrik-was-a-c-nt]

I just realized something about Berserk that I think is kinda interesting.

I just finished volume 19 and I went back to reread the first three volumes and I realized how much Guts and Puck's relationship changed. I once joked that 'Puck is a good influence on Guts, Guts is a terrible influence on Puck', but I think that's the whole thing here.

Guts hates weak people because he had to fight to survive even before he was born. It was pure luck that he managed to slip out of his mother's body before he died inside her, and that a mercenary group with a woman who recently miscarried just happened to walk by. Since then he had to work and fight every day to survive. I guess it makes sense that he gets angry seeing people whose lives are relatively better than his end in a violent way without much of a fight.

And Puck is one of the weakest creatures in the world. When Guts first met him, Puck was tied to a dart board by the neck and couldnt escape. He starts to feel sick when he feels negative emotions from the people around him. Hes tiny and easily injured, and very sheltered. No wonder Guts hated him so much when they first met.

Then, over time... Puck began to toughen up. He started attacking some of the spirits that follow Guts. He started giving Guts attitude, forcing him to thank him for stealing the keys to his shackles when he was imprisoned. Puck even had the audacity to say 'Yeah, I'm Guts' boss' even though he knows Guts can kill him whenever he wants.

And Guts goes from calling him 'Bug' to 'Puck', and stops telling him to stop following him everywhere. Their friendship is such a great part of the story. I knew a bit about the Band of the Hawk storyline going in, but I had no idea so much of the plot revolved around Guts and Puck going on adventures. It really tickles me seeing such a large, angry, traumatized, scarred mercenary traveling with an itty bitty elf living in his satchel.

(Please dont respond with spoilers for anything past volume 19, I'm totally blind for the rest of the story and I want everything to be a surprise)

A question for James Wan

Why does everyone in Malignant refer to Gabriel as a man? Conjoined twins are, by nature, the same sex, and Madison is Afab.

Did Gabriel use his weird electricity powers to tell the hospital staff his gender identity? Like, one day while experimenting on him and Madison did he take over a radio and say 'stop referring to me as Amy, my name is Gabriel and I use he/him pronouns' and the staff just went with it?

I mean this wouldn't be an unheard of situation, there is a set of conjoined twins where one of them is trans and the other is not. Lori and George Schappell are both the oldest living conjoined twins in the world and the first recorded case of conjoined twins identifying as different genders. They're even conjoined at the head like Madison and Gabriel.

Gabriel new horror movie trans icon?

EVIL DEAD RISE IS ON MAX

FUCK YEH LETS DO THIS

Nice fake-out with the drone, I think this is the first time the demon movement was paired with the movement of a real object.

Why the fuck did these guys rent the burning building from Midsommar? Or the cult church in Mandy? Perfectly triangular buildings are super sus now.

Ooooh we got ourselves an OG cabin clock.

Are they just jumping right into it? No build up? Just deadites from the start? I guess I would take anything over stupid family drama.

Uh.... well, that just happened. A scalping 5 minutes in.

I guess this isnt the first time there was a cold open featuring a possession and a bunch of gore. I guess my face blindness made it so I didnt realize that none of the actors I saw were in the trailers.

Okay, we got a rocker chick who I mistook for Mia for a sec who I guess is pregnant? Interesting so far.

How old is this lady that he has several kids? She doesnt look that much older than her older daughter.

"Hey Bridget, Moms on nights so we're watching all the Freddy movies in a row."

"Even the shitty ones."

"There arent any shitty ones."

Excuse me, did we watch the same Dream Master? Dream Child? Freddy's Dead? I love Freddy but he has as many bad movies as he does good.

I like this strange small child with her baby head battering ram.

Oooh, is mom using overtone on her hair? Her hair looks like mine when I used to dye it. When I could afford to dye it. (I got a better paying job so I can start to do that again!!!)

So Beth is forever young mom's sister, interesting.

Staffanie is fucking awesome.

Oooof... Ellie, did you send a text or an email? Two calls and a voice mail are easily forgotten when someone is super busy on the road.

Also, Beth, listen to your sisters voicemail when she leaves one. Call without voicemail is a chat, call with voicemail is important.

Wait, what was this bank built on top of? Or did Mia deposit the Necronomicon into a bank vault to keep it safe?

Are people in movies just not scared of the dark? Of bugs? Of-

JESUS CHRIST JESUS CHRIST

DO NOT TAKE ANYTHING THAT WAS STASHED IN A GRAVE. ITS CURSED AF. I DONT EVEN BELIEVE IN CURSES OR GHOSTS AND EVEN I WOULDNT TOUCH IT. AND NOT EVEN BECAUSE ITS DIRTY AS HELL.

That pizza was still good to eat, just a little smooshed.

"Weird shit like this gets locked away for a reason." Bridget is smart. Bridget should throw that book out the window right now.

The Necronomicon, now featuring a tooth/claw lock with a blood release. Not seen that before.

ONE OF THREE. THREE.

Is this actor on the vinyl trying to imitate Dr Knowby from Evil Dead 2? Like obviously hes not the same guy but the way hes talking.

Oh no, haunted turntable. You see, that's why CDs and MP3s are the superior formats.

NOPE NOPE NO ELEVATOR HORROR FOR ME. PLEASE NO IM STILL WORKING THROUGH MY PHOBIA.

Well great, you just had to take the book and vinyls and now your mom is haunted.

No tree roots available? Ropes and cables will make a good substitute! Cant do an evil dead movie without a little bondage.

Eeew, how many fertilized eggs did you get in your dozen? Where did you get them?

Sorry kids, your mom is a tweaker now.

You think the elevator is going to work in a blackout?

Um... I would be worried if a 'dead bodys' eyes reopened. I know there can be post-mortem spasms but the eyes perfectly reopening and nothing else moving is very strange-

FUCK I SCARED MYSELF. I have my tablet next to me and I saw movement in the screen reflection and I almost jumped out of my skin. It was my hand moving to set down my glass of water.

Hm... this feels like a new ploy for the deaddites. Play dead for a while and then reanimate in the creepiest way possible? I like it.

This is when you jump down the broken stairs and run for your lives. Hell, most elevators have little ladders in the shafts to climb up and down. Fuck it, take the cable and rappel down, just get the fuck away from the possessed tweaker with a glass shard.

Do not kiss a freshly made tattoo. That is very unsanitary.

Wasnt an eye popping out and going into someones mouth in Evil Dead 2? Like, wasnt it Henrietta and Bobby Joe?

El is doing a poor impression of Annie from Hereditary. You need to smash your face against the door way faster than that.

Sorry neighbors, but its every man for themselves now. Not even a gun can save you now.

Yeah Danny, you see cursed shit, you leave it ALONE. I love antiques and mysterious vinyls as much as the next antique enthusiast, but that book was CLEARLY fucked up.

Little girl whose name I forget, grab Staffanie, you're gonna need her.

Oh no, Bridget's face is haunted. We gotta cut it off. Should we do it Mason Verger or Nick Cage style?

It might be easier to convince your daughter to leave the apartment if you move the dead armless boy from view.

Oh Kassie... I cant be too mad. At your age I would have done the same thing. I remember getting scared when I saw my mom walk into a wall and faceplate on the ground. I would have done anything in that moment to believe she was okay (she was, she was super sleepy when she hit the wall and the fall dazed her. She only had a few bruises after)

Bridget, you are not Phoenix Wright! You cannot eat glass and not expect serious internal injuries! And you are not Rohan Kumakura, so put that cheese grater down!

Oh no Bridget... I'm so sorry they couldnt save you before you got impaled. And I'm sorry Kassie that you had to do that to your sister. This being a family and not a group of mostly unrelated friends is making this a lot harder.

Danny with the good ideas now. Where were your good ideas when you climbed into the bank vault?

Chekhov's soldering iron coming in clutch.

IF YOU KNEW THAT THE WORDS WERE CURSED, WHY DIDNT YOU DESTROY THE VINYL THAT HAD THEN RECORDED??? YOU CAN'T DESTROY THE NECRONOMICON BUT YOU CAN DESTROY YOUR RECORDING OF THE WORDS.

The mom is too big to fit inside the vents... is the armless kid in there wiggling around?

IF YOU ARE TYING UP A CORPSE YOU THINK IS GOING TO RISE AGAIN, TIE THEM UP SUPER TIGHT!!! Also Beth, keep one ear open in case the kids need you.

Oh, I guess mom is thin enough to fit in the vents.

Is the mom making a Lilo and Stitch reference? Putting her nail in the vinyl and making the noise come out her mouth?

They are killing a lot of kids in this movie. Barring any deaths from the TV Show, which I abandoned after a while, I don't think they've killed kids before. I'm assuming Bridget is under 18.

I guess this Book works differently than the one in the last movie. 6 kills and no rain of blood yet.

DEAD BY DAWN. DEAD DAWN. DEAD BY DAWN

Kids... what are you doing to your mom? Why are you putting your hands in there?

So this is what the elevators in the Overlook Hotel look like from the inside. And of course this built up to a clear Shining reference.

It didnt rain blood, it flooded blood.

Oooh! Theres a truck with a wood chipper attached to it in the garage! The deaddites can't possess a body that's a pile of mush!

I'm going to see that thing in my nightmares. Holy fuck, what were the designers got this movie thinking when they made this monstrosity? Like, I'm legit scared to look at it right now. I'm trying to not look directly at the screen but I also don't want to miss anything.

Kassie will not become your Saffanie! You don't need one!

You must choose your destiny, the chainsaw, or the boomstick?

You know, I was criticizing Beth for wearing her shoes inside the apartment, but they helped keep the chipper from hurting her.

I can't even begin to imagine all the therapy that Kassie is going to need once this is all done. She will never be able to be around wood chippers again. Or chainsaws. Or elevators. Or look through a peep hole.

That garage MUST smell awful. Theres blood EVERYWHERE. Before I was on birth control I had super heavy periods and the bathroom would reek of blood during my heavy days. That's a tiny drop compared to the ocean of blood in that garage. How did that lady not IMMEDIATELY smell it? (Unless shes like my old boss and lost her sense of smell)

I see... the cold open is a result of these events. The Mandy Midsommar temple cottage wasn't demonic, just the girl who can't smell.

LEE CRONIN WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU. YOU TOOK AN ALREADY PANTS SHITTINGLY SCARY REMAKE AND MAKE IT SHIT PANTS HARDER

Good job

Im rereading Peacher for like the 3rd time and i realized something hilarious.

Near the end of the story, Starr gets his dick bitten off and hes beyond angry about it.

He sarcastically asked Featherstone 'Has there been a successful penis transplant?', and that made me think...

Just get a Phalloplasty, dude. Take some flesh from your thigh and doctors can turn it into a dick. You can even pee through it, depending on the trauma to your urethra. You got more money than god.

Or try to live another 20 years or so, then you could go to South Africa and have it done by the doctors who performed the first successful one.

Lost Media Search Results

Since I'm unemployed I've been using my time to find leads to lost media. Today I looked for info on Dweebers and Gathers and I found some very interesting info

So something that I noticed that isn't mentioned anywhere is that Vic Tokai, the company tied to both games, is Japanese and the games they developed were first released in Japan (they had an American branch that translated and localized games other companies developed.)

Now theres a game that was released called Daedalian Opus, which I just learned was also made by Vic Tokai, and was developed at the same time as Gathers. I know this because one of the two screenshots we have of Gathers comes from a 1989 magazine page that also has the original name of Daedalian Opus listed next to it, Puzzle Road.

This was in vol 1 of Game Boy Magazine. Vol 2 features the second screenshot of Gathers, but I was not able to find the full page to look for other clues. However, I was able to find in the table of contents Puzzle Road listed among other games

So why am I focusing on Puzzle Road/Daedalian Opus? Its because the American box art resembles the art style of the Dweebers artwork.

And theres a good reason why they would look the same, Vic Tokai hired an artist named Lawrence Fletcher to make a few new covers to replace the Japanese covers for their American releases. The original Japanese release of Puzzle Road looked completely different

The first main point I want to make is that if Vic Tokai went as far as to make art for an American cover, then there must also be Japanese cover art out there.

The second point I want to make I realized right as I was making this post. The reason why we are struggling to find Gathers is because the name might have been translated incorrectly! The name as it appears in the magazine is

and when I went to Google translate, I put in

but I left out the dash in the middle, and when I added it in...

the games name might actually be Gears! I can't be 100% sure because i don't actually know Japanese, and it would make more sense for it to be Gathers because the point of the game is to gather things, but I still thought I should bring it up.

I think the final connection I want to make will cement the connection between Dweebers and Gathers. You see in the magazine that Puzzle Road and Gathers are listed next to each other. Well, our source for the Dweebers art also had another game listed

and they were the only two Gameboy games listed in the whole brochure! (this is a Vic Tokai brochure listing games from 1989 to 1990)

So Puzzle Road and Gathers were both announced at the same time as new Gameboy games from Vic Tokai, and Daelanian Opus in 1989 and Dweebers were listed together as the only two Gameboy games made by Vic Tokai in 1989/1990. I think this circumstantial evidence is admissible

I've been rereading The Walking Dead because reasons and I've come up with a brilliant idea.

Spoilers for The Walking Dead comic

~~~Spoilers!~~~

Instead of hanging Gregory for trying to oust Maggie by killing her, they should have brought him to Alexandria and put him in the cell with Negan.

Gregory constantly lies to make himself look like the victim in any situation, and Negan just owns any situation with his gigantic balls of confidence. One look at Gregory and Negan would know that he was just tossed a plaything.

I bet Gregory would become either completely catatonic or deranged within a day of being Negans cellmate
