You got your Chrono Trigger in my Metroidvania! If you’ve spent any time on the internet, you’ve likely come across a Two Things t-shirt; a shirt that exists only to make two surface-level geek references at the same time, as opposed to the one reference you might get from aStar Warsgraphic tee at Target. Often, the franchises being smushed together in these crossovers have no thematic connection beyond the base fact of their existence, like thisPokémon Go/Stranger Thingsshirt....

No matter how dire the game landscape was for this series, Capcom was king of Mega merch Ever wonder why there are threeCarsfilms? Merch.

Monday Mind Teasers: Bloody Fun Day

Did everyone escape the clutches of last week’slocked room game? Great! This week we face a whole different type of mind teaser game, with both turn-based and path-based strategies to consider at each step along the way. I just got back from a huge camping trip, involving several days of long hikes through pathless woods, which ended in a seven mile hike earlier today. Now that both my body and brain are mush, I wanted to find a puzzle game that would be as simple as clicking one button, andBloody Fun Daywas fitting in more ways than one....

It’s no surprise that they’ve been equally deadly inMW3, where close-quarters combat can happen regularly....
