Subject 99 was one of my favorites although the second half/post-reveal let me down.

Gonna save the rest for tomorrow

Watching VHS/Halloween and this is good stuff so far!

Like the 3rd episode seemed stupid/meta “I’m dressed as a found footage horror protagonist!” and it’s like hard mode to start from such a corny premise but this one is actually really good!

No you only play her in Elvira: The Arcade Game which is a pretty generic side scroller.

You have to rescue her again from a movie set.

Man losing limbs is like, the last thing I want out of an Elvira game. You're playing as her, right?

Tonight! Elvira! What could happen

1. We finish the game and if there’s time, start on Elvira 2: The Jaws of Cerberus which is like… better but not by a lot. You can lose limbs now!

2. We discover we’re soft locked due to bad resource management and start all over

Tonight! Deathground - in Early Access but billed as Jurassic Park: Isolation even though it’s co-op but the raptors have AI. The regular video game AI not the other one. This is getting away from me, but @evelyth.the-gay.cat @jimdowney.bsky.social @turboc.bsky.social are doing it at 9pm ET!

Officially the farthest I’ve ever gotten in this game and I agreed to tell an embarrassing story about the Elvira movie if I get 5 subs on stream. Or if I win the game. Either way.

I got 4/6 keys in Elvira last night but there’s a ton more bullshit in store for me, so we’ll maybe do more of that in a couple of hours. Let’s say around 8pm EST but there may be SF6 first…!!!

She’s making us magic spells but we haven’t opened her aunt’s chest

I guess along the same lines, Elvira is a very good *looking* game and it actually has excellent pixel art gore and such

But I am honestly procrastinating starting up OBS for it

slowbeef @slowbeef.bsky.social · 3d

Ok let’s rescue Elvira from a castle I guess

I had to QT because I absolutely know Eye of the Beholder and it’s also rock hard but not total nonsense

Whoa whoa whoa, Elvira got the nod for PC RPG Game of the Year over:

- Savage Reign? To be fair I have not played it but it seemed like a really neat offshoot of Ultima VII (same engine, Avatar non canon side story)
- EYE OF THE BEHOLDER?!?! I was not a big PC gamer but this was renowned, no?!

Glasses Man Danee @daneeboundeng.bsky.social · 3d

Well I tracked down the issue, and as it turns out they do list several other nominees. Though the only name on there that rings any bells to me is Lord of the Rings.

Elvira is like this

I Wanna Be The Guy is difficult and frustrating as like a joke on the player. It’s funny when it pulls some bullshit

Elvira (the game) is just mean. I’ve actually never finished it even with a walkthrough. It’s like The Immortal but much more maddening.

slowbeef @slowbeef.bsky.social · 3d

Oh, I am aware!

They also made one with her likeness in the intro only called Elvira: Personal Nightmare

There’s also an Elvira Arcade Game which is like a weird side scroller

Maybe the rest of the month we just do the Elvira series

Chad Radish @chadradish.bsky.social · 3d

They made two more of these and the third one, Waxworks, is one of the most horrific PC games ever released. Not like in a Big Rigs sense, as in just a genuinely disturbing and dark horror game.

(Cont’d)

1. Whoever gave the award hated the magazine’s audience.
2. There were literally no other RPGs nominated
