I find myself at odds with this October update; chiefly because I have nothing really Halloween related to report. None the less I’ll try to include something supernatural for those so inclined. Let’s start with a TV show I’ve been bingeing called “In Search Of”
A quick history lesson about In Search Of (in which I’ll just abbreviate from here on out as ISO) is in order. ISO originally came out way back in 1977 to 1982 and was narrated / hosted by none other than Leonard Nimoy (rest his soul). It was a kinda creepy, yet documentary style tv series that looked into the world’s oddities. Fast forward to 2018, the show got a reboot now hosted by Zachary Quinto that follows the same premise; only with obviously updated material. I’m going to assume some if not most of you reading this blog have absolutely no idea this show existed, so I encourage you to use your powers of Google to find the complete original run to watch as well as finding the more recent episodes on your streaming platform of choice. It gets the BoxInACorner seal of approval for “entertaining stuff to run in the background while you do chores” category. Prestigious indeed.
Let’s move onto the waifu material. As I’m always in search of (ha!) the next best mobile game, I sometimes come across titles that are worth a look at simply for production values. That is to say, the game deserves some eyes on it because it looks absolutely gorgeous; even if the content is a bit shallow. Since a lot of you were here on this site during the Destiny Child (that I still play) / Dungeon Maker (that I no longer play) days, you’re all probably wondering what other side hustles I’ve come across since. One of those side hustles is Soul Ark Reboot.
This game recently went through a “revitalization” patch which made it a lot more friendly to new players as well as F2P (free to play) players. It has pretty high production value overall with a relatively enjoyable combat system. It is of course at the end of the day riddled with micro-transactions to make your experience “optimized”, but I found it not to be detracting enough to turn me off from the game. There’s no VIP levels or any other obviously beneficial system to purchasing in game stuff; you simply buy what you’re impatient to wait for. If you like a lot of overly animated weird characters (and of course scantly clad waifus) you’ll be in for a treat.
The next game I recommend with trepidation - not so much as it is anything overwhelmingly bad as it is unproven yet to the critics at the time of me publishing this update. That game is The Outer Worlds and is the same team behind Fallout New Vegas (one of my favorite of the franchise).
The game will be launching on October 25th 2019 worldwide and will be available on multiple platforms except the PC. Technically it is available on the PC, but only “exclusively” on the Epic Game Store for the first few months; if not year. That may be a deal breaker for some (and I understand fully if it is), but I just wanted to note that EGS hasn’t given me any real headaches since I’ve used it. Granted I only own one game on it (Borderlands 3) but for what it’s worth so far, it works as intended.
Not sure if Clover is going to do a Halloween stream this year since her schedule is always changing for the worst - but keep checking the Twitch notifications around Halloween weekend just in case she pops on and pops out her pumpkins (and I mean boobs) as usual. See you all next month!
