The Introverted Detective

 Once again I find myself rating the cringe of Nancy Drew men. see Pt. 1 of 3 for the beginning of the blog series. It will be split into 3 parts for the sake of length. Let's continue.  Courtesy of thenancydrew.wikia.com Starting at game number 11 and ending at number 23, this will work the following way. The rating system goes from 1 to 10, 1 being no cringe at all and 10 being all of the cringe. Ready? I'm just going to jump into this and go. Reasons for my opinions, which you don't have to agree with, will be explained. There will be spoilers. If you haven't played these games, read with caution and maybe come back after you have played them. You've been warned. Note that culprits are not directly revealed in this blog. Curse of Blackmoor Manor Nigel Mookerjee - He is a 7 to 8, maybe 9 on the scale. I think his memoirs are the most boring thing on the planet. While it is hilarious to watch him scream at a moving statue, he's not a joy to interact with and is...

 Nancy Drew from the Herinteractive games encounters many men during her travels. Some are a bit cringy, depending on your perspective on her age and the situation of the case. Some are highly cringy. Let's dive into that topic.  Courtesy of Tumblr We're going to go through the men of Nancy Drew games and rate them on cringy-ness. The rating system will work like this; 1 is no trace of cringe and 10 is cringe to max. These are my opinions, ladies and gents, so please feel free to comment your opinions and please respect mine. I will state reasons for every man. This does not include Ned, Frank, or Joe because they are constant characters and don't depend on the case at hand. I also don't intend to do phone contacts. This contains mild spoilers, fellow gamers and blog readers, so please read at your own risk if you haven't played any of these. You have been warned. I will not culprit reveal directly. Secrets Can Kill   The original and the remake have the same charac...

The game audience is extremely important when it comes to marketing. Age of player and maturity really does factor into this, since a seven-year-old is not going to be playing FNAF or Portal with too much success, nor is a 38-year-old going to find any challenge in a Reader Rabbit game. This is why the rating of a game matters.  Courtesy of mll.fi You truly do need to know what you are playing when you buy any form of videogame. The rating system is built for that purpose, so little kids don't pick up a game like Grand Theft Auto or Phasmophobia. It ranges from EC (early childhood) to AO (adults only). Understandably, parents and anyone who doesn't want pornographic content care about this rating system.  Game designers also consider audience age and maturity during the design process. This looks like hint systems built into games aimed at everyone and kids, as well as no hint systems in Portal and many horror games. Yes, hints can be built in for all ages, but adult-aged game...

When I watched The Incredibles (the first one, for clarification purposes) I looked at Mirage as someone who might not have been fully down with the plan. Is it possible she did the bidding of Syndrome under romantic pressure? Was she used by Syndrome to get to Mr. Incredible and did he create a relationship to do so exclusively?  Courtesy of Tumblr While she is definitely guilty of helping Syndrome murder Supers, what I want to know is her motivation. She was down to do all the dirty work of Syndrome, but why? She clearly wasn't in it to murder children based on her reaction to Mrs. Incredible/Elastigirl declaring there were children on the plane. Obviously, she was only signed up to kill the Supers they were targeting. Syndrome shows how unbalanced and sociopathic he truly is, even letting her be potentially snapped in half by a furious Mr. Incredible. You'll note that this is when she snaps back on Syndrome and literally undoes all the work she did to lure Mr. Incredible to ...
