I blog alone. Except when I blog with Renaldo. Which is all the time.

So it looked like I was going to have to jump into Strong Bad’s Cool Game For Attractive People Episode 4… you know, I’m done with references. Sorry.

But seriously, Dangeresque 3 did not fail to deliver. It was pretty completely great. They went the extra mile to make the episode actually look like a Dangeresque movie, from the quick cuts to Strong Sad for stunts to the camera occasionally getting distracted like a bad cameraman should to horrible editing in the game that leaves in things you shouldn’t see. It’s just… perfect. And hey, it was actually in 3D, just like it was promised. Still, I bet people who are big Strong Bad fans could be kind of upset by having such a heavily demanded and loved thing actually be done in the game. But if they were such a fan, why weren’t they buying the games anyway? Bastards.
The puzzles themselves were actually fairly puzzle-y too, in parts. This is the first episode of SBCG4AP where I’ve had to look up an answer because I was frustrated. Granted, the solution was actually very meta, so I don’t blame myself for not getting it, but it was the first time these games have stumped me.
I feel like if I talk about it too much, I’ll spoil some of its awesome. So I won’t. But this game’s humor got me out of not one but two fairly shitty moods. It’s great, great stuff. I would probably put it as better than Strong Badia the Free, which was my favorite episode before this one. Granted, it was pulling from and counting on a LOT more in-jokes than Strong Badia the Free which was mostly all original content, which I can appreciate. But seriously, it was the best yet. If you like Strong Bad, you deserve to play this game. You’ll laugh.
