You can tell just from reading that title that this is stupid. This is a Gravity Falls fanfic, and a bad one at that. Now, let me start off by saying I have not had the luck to watch Gravity Falls. Of course, I am willing to give the show a try, but, for the moment, I have no clue what the show is, or who the characters are, so, if I make a mistake involving the show, then, don't get mad. Just remember, I have not watched this show yet. Anyway, the fanfic starts where Dipper is reading... I guess thats something he does in the show a lot. Then, his sister Mabel tell him that she is going to some diner, and he wants Taco Bell... And the sucking begins. So, he walks around the city, which I guess is called Gravity Falls, and ends up in some dark forest, where, surprise, there lies a Taco Bell restaurant. Okay, think, a desolated building out in a dark forest away from civilization. It's obviously going to have some one die or already dead inside. Thats Horror Movie Cliche 101.
Anyway, Dipper walks in and we get to hear about the worst restaurant cashier in the world. All he does is shout and shout and shout. Is this supposed to be funny or scary... because its neither. It's just dumb and makes the already boring story more boring. So, Dipper orders a taco, which, for some stupid reason, tacos are all they sell in Taco Bell. Anyway, he orders one, and then eats it, which then gives him... Well, I'm sure we all had that feeling after eating spicy Mexican food. So, after going to the bathroom, we get some of the most boring filler ever to be in a fanfic, and then, somehow, cuts himself on random plot devise and bleeds to death. Okay, its best not to question this, because if I did question the amount of problems with this scene, we'd be here all fucking day.
Anyway, Mabel notices that Dipper is missing, like he was for, I don't know, the whole fucking story, and goes to look for him. After hours of looking, she finds the Taco Bell and walks in. No one is there (I swear to god, can this story be anymore cliched) and walks into the bathroom. There, she sees Dipper's dead body. Okay, why didn't the worker do something about this. Even famous movie killers don't leave bodies just lying in plain view. I guess this story is trying to be the next unscary thing to overused jump scares.
Anyway, the cashier comes in, kills Mabel... for some dumb reason, and turns there dead bodies into tacos.... The Fucking end. My God, this story sucked.
This not only has a large list of problems, but its just dumb as hell. It's definitely up there with the bad fanfics like Filly Fooling and Trixie's Funhouse. To hell with this fanfic, and this coming from someone who never heard of Gravity Falls until recently. But, Hay, that's only my opinion. What's Your Take

Two of the most well known horror writers ever, H.P. Lovecraft and Edgar Allan Poe, have created some of the most twisted and most macabre horror stories that we all know and love like Call of Cthulhu, The Black Cat, Shadows Over Innsmouth, The Tell-Tale Heart, Mountains of Madness, and the Fall of the House of Usher. They both have made very influential work, yet what makes them so interesting is how different they are. So, what is it about these two that make them so different. Well, that’s what I wish to talk about with you today.

Well, here comes a game even I wasn’t expecting to talk about till I played it. When I was surfing through the indie titles of the Nintendo Switch when I had little to no games for it, one game that caught my attention was The Friends of Ringo Ishikawa. I remember hearing there was a sort of River City Ransom esque game and I thought it was this. The trailers made it look that way. Little did I know that I was completely wrong. And despite that, I couldn’t be happier with what I had played.

So yes, I have had the name for five years. I have always talked about Wind Waker and it being my favorite game ever. And I have talked about it endlessly and why I loved it so much. And even with all the games I have ever played, with all of the games I have experienced and loved, they still never compare. I am aware that they are all better games, technically. Dark Souls has better combat, Resident Evil 4 has more polish, and Metal Gear Solid 3 has a better story. But Wind Waker is different, cause it was the game that came at the right time.

When I was a kid, I never watched a whole lot of Nickelodeon. I was more of a Cartoon Network kid, honestly. But from time to time, I would always switch the channel to watch Spongebob Squarepants, a classic from mine and a lot of kids childhoods (Up until season 4, but we try not to talk about that). The show was popular enough to get a few video games based on it, and I heard they were pretty good. And being the child I was, I was able to get one of these games, and I was told it’s the best one. And it was. Introducing one of the few licensed games on this list is Spongebob Squarepants:...
