The Chilling Horror of Bob-Omb Battlefield
And what we can all learn from it
Introduction
Recently I went to play Mario 64 to see what all the fuss was About. You all know about the thingamachinery with the Night Creeps. I'm always wary of games I haven't Played. The game thinks it's better than Me. But in this case I got quite the Terror. You will see that it is Justified, for the powder is black and degloved and we bound with the electrifying joy of LIFE. Stop thinking and keep Reading.
I was playing Mario 64 and I got to that one level where the bombs are At. I'm always wary of Bombs. So I didn't make any progress until I was done eradicating all the Bob-ombs is what they call Em. Theta bootriders ruining my thunder. But I digress... It is Cool.
When I got to the top of that one mountain it was Cool. Cause you get to see it All.everything. Until I turned around and saw Him.
The Big King Bob-omb.
But first. we need a bit of Context.
A Bit Of Context
I was playing Mario 64 and the bomb level made me Realize some kind of a Thing: this game is terrifying. You go anywhere? Nothing. no NPCs no Friends no Family. and the music is like a horrible story that weeps you to bed. I remember one time i knew a guy who was scared of video games because of this event, no dout about it.. did not suckem off soon enough
So naturally when I was playing Mario 64 on the bomb level I had to take a step back and Recollect myself. This was actually the game! In all of its surreal dreamcore nostalgiac trip move vibe. In a way it's more than a game. But to understand this we need to establish the context of the era.
A Little Context
One time I heard that videogames were played , all the way back in 1996. feel old yet? Anyway there was mario there. In fact he ma was one of the most important characters who ever lived. He rivaled the likes of Garfield. Have you ever heard of something like that? It's estimated that about 50% of the world thought he was better than "Jesus." Mario got in trouble for it.
But. The point is that games weren't scary yet. There was no dream water world for you to explore when you went to bed that night, remembering the real water world you saw in the game (though it doesn't really look like water on the screen due to the societal expectations of 1996). So how does this game pull it off? How does this game pull the skin off your rocker?
The answer is simpler than you can fit in a post. Crunch that pepsi right in tere girlies cause we're going in. But first we need to go back to what I was actually talking about,
A Bit Of Context
With this additional context established we can now dive into the topic of how this game is not really a game but rather a titillating factory.
- Low resolution textures. You might think this would make the game a terror blight, however it actually looks exactly like your dreams where you swim around in a water world.
- The music is like a calm angel giving you the dire edocks
- give me the water
- Thy houses in the background really give me the creeps! Yowwawayikes! Better go ! Let's go!
- Sugar cubes were found in the vicinity. (of the fist)
- Three successive woos wahoos
- Hope you understood
