#hallowe'en

[prokopetz]

The local big-box store has decided not to let Hallowe'en get in the way of Christmas and set up the twelve-foot animatronic skeleton right next to the twelve-foot inflatable Santa. The inflatable Santa's wobbling keeps setting off the animatronic skeleton's motion activated flail-and-scream routine, which in turn sets off the inflatable Santa's motion sensor and makes it play "Jingle Bells".

More favourite stupid video game tropes, Hallowe’en edition:

Games where you start out playing as a character who’s presented as a totally plausible protagonist, but then they’re horribly killed and the actual player character is someone different  

Tutorials that describe the basic mechanics from an in-character perspective in a way that seems like a silly fourth-wall-breaking joke, then much later this casual blurring of the fourth wall is revealed to have horrifying narrative implications  

Fakeouts where it looks like you messed up and died, but really it’s a puzzle and you have to do something during the fake gameover screen to “solve” it  

Reality-warping powers being represented as the ability to fuck with the game-mechanical substrate; e.g., teleportation in a 2D action game being represented by letting the player screen-wrap  

Brainfuck segments where you’re suddenly playing as the monster and you have to have a boss fight against your own player character or something  

Puzzles where the obstacles are the appendages of some unfathomably huge unseen creature, and you have to, like, poke its tentacles in the correct order to get them to move out of the way  

Subtly impossible level layouts, like a corridor that makes four or five left turns in a row without intersecting itself  

When a game whose narrative has heretofore acknowledged no diegetic separation between the player and the player character suddenly breaks its own rules and addresses the player directly  

When you’re in a suspiciously calm and peaceful area, then something happens to alter your perceptions and it’s revealed that it was all an illusion and the Happy Shiny People were secretly zombie demon ghosts all along, and they all turn to face the camera and go “EEEEEEEE”  

When there’s a guy with a detachable head

This year's pumpkin! It took many hours, actually. Scraping skin off is time intensive, but it was chill and not too messy so I just sat on the couch with the pumpkin on my lap whittling away.
