PITTSBURGH – For most Nintendo fans, the Talking Flowers have made a lovable addition to the Mario franchise in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. But for one gamer currently tied down to his gaming chair and shrieking demonic phrases in Latin tongues, they hold the answer to everything he must do to finally make the pain stop.
“FLORES NON DESINUNT, NUMQUAM DESINUNT, EOS TANTUM PROHIBERE VOLO,” shrieked James Walker in both a high pitched and low pitched voice simultaneously from all corners of the room while tied to his gaming chair by worried roomates. “QUOTIES EGO PAREM LUDO, MODO DICUNT MIHI OMNES ESSE DEBERE MORI, QUOD OMNES DEBENT SOLVERE – EGO OMNEM GOOMBA PRESSI ET OMNE EXTREMUM FLOS DENARIUS QUEM MERUI SOLVI, QUID A ME PLUS DESIDERANT? ETIAM CUM LUDO SICUT YOSHI, DAMNUM ADHUC FACTUM EST.”
James’s insistence that the Flowers have a sinister grip over him is not fully convincing to those closest to him, including his own girlfriend.
“I’ve never seen those flowers say anything that wasn’t a quirky non-sequitur,” revealed Lindsey, James’s girlfriend of three years, as a vase flew across the room on its own. “Do you think he’s faking it? I think he’s trying to get out of seeing my parents this weekend. He always does stuff like this.”
“I’ll admit the demonic bile was a nice touch though, he must have got it off the internet,” she added.
According to roommates, a Gamer Priest was called in to perform a exorcist on James, in part to test if he was faking.
“They threw G-fuel on him and it burned his skin,” said one roommate, who asked not to be identified as they didn’t know if what happened that day was legal. “I thought for sure that meant it was real but then a little got on me and it burned the shit out of me too. What’s in that stuff?”
As of press time, the man was seen still tied to his gaming chair, levitating several feet above the floor, spinning rapidly and receiving DMs on Discord asking when he was getting online.
MATAWAN, NJ– Family and friends are shocked 7-year-old Zay Metcalf has been seen taking Funko Pops out of their cardboard tombs and on hours-long whirlwind adventures of childhood whimsy, reports confirm.
“They’re kind of fun,” Metcalf said, reenacting scenes from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem on the front steps of his house. “I like them because you can get all the guys. Target is always sold out of the good figures, and when they do got them, it’s super expensive, it costs all the birthday money for one ‘Ninja Shouts Donatello.’ But at the scary mall you can get these for three for $10.”
Metcalf’s uncle, Josh Metcalf, is particularly stunned by his nephew’s interest in Funko Pops as playthings.
“He has no idea of the potential value of these collectibles. He takes them out of the box, runs around the playground with them and takes them to school,” Josh Metcalf said, spraying a Haslab Marvel Legends Sentinel with an aerosol duster can. “And he’s not even impressed with the Metallic Freddie Funko as Count Chocula I got at San Diego in 2011! He prefers the characters from his favorite shows, totally ignoring the price on the secondary market … Last Christmas, I got him a bunch of Eternals figures that were on clearance at Barnes and Noble. He didn’t even care about the characters’ backstory, he just wanted to sit around making stuff up. Really weird.”
The Funko Pops as toys phenomenon has been condemned by the Funko corporation.
“Pops were never intended to be used for play. In fact, we did everything short of making them out of asbestos to make them unappealing to children. Cheap material, no accessories, single point of articulation, horrible designs, we spared every cost to make them as cheap, disposable, and ugly as possible,” said Funko CEO, Andrew Perlmutter as he handwaved approval for a line of Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget figures.
“Pops were made for specific purposes–as filler for loot crates and mystery boxes, or office decor for when you know exactly one of your secret santa’s interests, also for speculators and scalpers to gamble with. Not as toys,” he said as stared into the expressionless black eyes of Rocky the chicken.
At press time Metcalf’s parents replied to reporters with a brief email writing, “we really don’t care, as long as it keeps him off the iPad.”
DENVER – Gamers around the world who don’t understand the true nature of immersion have flooded the VR port of Resident Evil 4 (2023) with negative reviews, complaining the presence of Leon’s long hair covers much of the player’s view. Some also incorrectly asserted the game had broken half of their VR headset’s display, according to a review of the comments.
Along with Steam reviews, some went to X (Formerly Twitter) to vent their frustrations.
“HELLO??! I want to be able to see the damn game!” one user posted. “I’m left-handed too. How am I supposed to aim? If this feature stays in the game, then I will request a refund.”
Director Kazunori Kadoi took to social media to respond to criticisms of the feature, most notably if the hair feature can be removed in any way.
“We want the game to be as immersive as possible, so we will keep the hair visible to the player’s view,” Kadoi said. “But there will be a patch that allows players to flip their hair to the side, allowing for the temporary use of sight. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.”
In a statement to the press he continued to defend the vision.
“We have always strived to make each new entry more immersive, and we will not bow to criticism,” Kadoi said. “Every strand of hair was meticulously designed to flow in the wind, and hang loosely and naturally directly in front of your field of view.”
While the idea of looking through the eyes of Leon S. Kennedy certainly sounds thrilling, the surprising obstacle that is Leon’s hair is definitely a dealbreaker to some.
At press time, fans continue to speculate if Capcom will stick to this bold decision.

Part two in the planned trilogy of Final Fantasy 7 games is set for release soon. Let’s take a look at the release date and exact time that Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth comes out in each region, as well as whether it can be played early.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth PlayStation 5 Release Date And Time
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth releases on 29 February 2024, on an ultra rare leap year date. The game is set for a local midnight release worldwide, meaning that players will be able to play the game starting at 12 AM based on the timezone of the region set up in their purchasing PSN store account.
Players that purchased the game using a New Zealand account, even if they aren’t physically in that country, can potentially play the game several hours earlier than their local timezone would be able to normally.
Four years in the making, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is finally ready for release, and players who have pre-ordered the game on PlayStation 5 can preload it early. Here’s all the details on preload start date and time, file size, and settings to get it done correctly on PlayStation 5.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth PlayStation 5 Preload Date
Preloading is available to all players that have pre-ordered the game digitally, starting from February 27, 2024 at your local midnight time. Owners of the two-disc physical pre-order do not have access to this option.
On PlayStation 5, the preload download file size is reported to be 146 GB. This makes the game just over 1.5 times the size of the previous game in the planned trilogy, Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade, which clocked in at 90 GB.
How To Preload Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth On PlayStation 5
After successfully purchasing Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth on the digital store, return to its product page and select preload.
Once on the screen titled “Pre-Ordered Game | FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH”, checkmark the “Select All” box, to ensure you also preload any pre-order bonus DLC that may be available to your particular purchase.
This will ensure that the game preloads automatically as soon as it becomes available to download.
TORONTO — Layoffs in the game industry have quickly become an all too common theme. Developers who worked on a successful game often face mass layoffs without warning. Well, one game development company is putting an end to that by having layoffs on their game’s seasonal roadmap.
Rongo Studios has decided enough is enough with out of nowhere layoffs. They decided it was only fair to put it right in the schedule. CEO & Founder Hunter Bishop explained the decision during the announcement.
“It is always really disheartening to see good devs get blindsided by layoffs. People say it’s part of the business, but it doesn’t have to be. I’ve decided to be the change I wanted to see in this world and put our layoffs right in the seasonal roadmap for our game so our employees know exactly what to expect,” he said.
The studio’s upcoming game, Scorchers, is a live service rogue-like PVPVE looter shooter with battle royal elements. While no release date has been announced, they have revealed the roadmap for the first three seasons, and true to Bishop’s word, layoffs are on there.
“As you can see layoffs, will happen during week 3 of our second season which will come 2 weeks after the launch of our first raid and 1 week before we announce the game is the most profitable in our studio’s history,” said Bishop.
“The raid launch will come with huge server and balance issues which we believe will soften the community on the layoffs when they happen.”
Employees at Rongo are happy they have a boss who seems to care about their feelings.
“Layoffs are an unavoidable part of being a game dev but to work at a place that cares enough about us to be upfront with when they’re gonna happen is really nice,” said environment designer Bob Benson. “I now get to plan ahead of time what I’m gonna do in my unemployment and scout out the next place I’ll be laid off from.”
Game industry analyst Tammy Campbell thinks this will revolutionize the industry.
“To let your employees know ahead of time when layoffs will happen is unheard of in this industry. So many developers nowadays don’t care about their employees at all, and it’s heartwarming to see companies stepping up to do what’s right,” explained Campbell. “If this experiment works, I have no doubt other studios will follow suit.”
As of press time, Bishop plans on adding being acquired and then shut down by Embracer Group on the next roadmap.
LOS ANGELES – Amid several allegations of grooming, plagiarizing, and using aimbot, Duncan Gilroy, known as SquirrelyMcDuck on YouTube, has released an ill advised apology video sponsored by a ball shaving company.
“Thank you so much to MANSCAPED® for sponsoring this apology” Duncan said, beginning the two hour video with a big sigh. “This is a follow up to the screenshot of my Notes App apology I posted on my story. Some of you didn’t think that was ‘sincere’ so me and my friends at MANSCAPED® have teamed up to set the record straight.”
The YouTuber with 27 million subscribers then begins to explain his wrongdoings in an incoherent mess of interpretive dance, questionable impressions, and a long monologue eerily similar to Michelle Obama’s speech at the 2016 Democratic National Convention.
“I am ashamed of what I’ve done, and now know that the only grooming a guy like me should be doing is with the new and improved Lawn Mower® 4.0 with skin safe technology and controllable LED lights.” Duncan then demonstrates how waterproof the titanium testicle trimmer is with the tears of his remorse.
At this point in the feature length presentation, Duncan picks up his dog, Ocho, to deflect any real criticism onto an adorably helpless puppy. “Man’s best friend can get you through some dark times, but man’s second best friend is the new Weed Whacker® 2.0 that can tackle both ear and nose hair.”
As the video concludes, Duncan had successfully cried twice and plugged MANSCAPED® over sixty times.
“I’m going to take a break from the vlog, maybe take a trip with MANSCAPED® Perfect Platinum 5.0 Luxury Package, and reconnect to who I was before all of this. I’ll be gone for a while, but not as long as the battery life of the Lawn Mower® 4.0.”
At press time, using discount code ‘FORGIVEN’ at check out will get you 15% off your next purchase of $100 or more at MANSCAPED.com.
