Foreword It has come to this. The penultimate battle of good vs evil – father vs son – a reviewer vs a really well put together horror game and franchise. Five Nights at Freddy's: Pizzeria Simulator (which I loving short to Pizza Sim cause it just sounds funny) is the sixth installment and the final (Haha – fat chance) game in the Afton story line. This game was released on December 4, 2017 for FREE and has received pretty much universal praise (9/10 via Steam, 7.1 via Metacritic). Perhaps the most lore intensive game, most of the burning questions that remain are answered while delivering both a familiar gameplay style with some exciting new mechanics. Let us descend into the madness for one final time. The Story The game opens, innocently enough, on an atari style mini game. You control Mr. Fazbear himself as he launches pizza pies of your own creation into the faces of hungry waiting children. As you rack up points, things turn south pretty quickly as a shadow Freddy appears to ...

  Foreword If you were to ask me what my absolutely favorite game in the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise before I started making these reviews, I would've said without a doubt that Sister Location was it. One of the main contributing factors was the story and how direct it was with the narrative. While the fifth installment is still a really great game, do I still hold the belief that it's the best one? Before I dive in, it's time to go over that review rating scale: 10) Big Boi Lovings - A perfect score. Any negatives are insignificant. 9) Marvelous - A nearly flawless piece of media. A few gripes prevent it from being perfect. 8) Recommended - An excellent piece of media that should not be skipped, despite a few complaints. 7) P. Good  - Above average. Some of the problems are a touch painful. 6) Hard Enjoy  - Despite the issues that are present, I want to be a fan of the media - even though it hurts. 5) Aight .- Average. The experience is overall hit or...

Foreword Surprising absolutely no one, Five Nights at Freddy's 3 was not the end of Scott Cawthon's giant of a series. Released on July 23rd, 2015 – barely more than 4 months after the release of the 3rd game. The promotional content for this game made it readily apparent that we were going back in time. It was impossible not to see art of the twisted animatronics with the simple question of me “Was it Me?” This was referring to the one mystery that had yet to be solved... the Bite of '87 and which robot did the deed. But before we go through all that, allow me to display the new (kinda) rating system: 10) Big Boi Lovings - A perfect score. Any negatives are insignificant. 9) Marvelous - A nearly flawless piece of media. A few gripes prevent it from being perfect. 8) Recommended - An excellent piece of media that should not be skipped, despite a few complaints. 7) P. Good- Above average. Some of the problems are a touch painful. 6) Hard Enjoy- Despite the issues that are pr...

Foreword March 2nd, 2015 – the day that Five Nights at Freddy's proved to be much more than a few one off indie games. With the release of Five Nights at Freddy's 3, fans were treated to what could have been the end of a trilogy. We, with the gift of hindsight, know that the series was just getting started, but at the time the story reached a logical conclusion. But how does the third installment hold up? Is it the satisfying conclusion we all wanted or just another cog in the wheel? Before I begin the deep dive, let's go over the scoring system the BradicalRadical show uses: 10) Big Boi Lovings - A perfect score. Any negatives are insignificant. 9) P. Awesome - A nearly flawless piece of media. A few gripes prevent it from being perfect. 8) P. Great - An excellent piece of media that should not be skipped, despite a few complaints. 7) P. Good - Above average. Some of the problems are a touch painful. 6) Hard Enjoy - Despite the issues that are present, I want to be a ...

  Foreword Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii. The next short story in the Declutter collection is here! As a reminder, since it's been a hot minute since I've been able to post anything to this blog, Declutter is my short story collection that I am releasing for free on Patchwork and then later on through Amazon's self-publishing.  The following is a much more... personal story. Most of my short stories are ideas that I have either from day dreaming or night dreaming. This one is inspired by my own struggles with depression and anxiety but eventually changed into a simple conversation between myself and a character - something my lady love does to help herself work through some of her own struggles. It was something I have never tried to do and figured why not give it a shot. The following is that experiment.  A Conversation With Angelica The cold metal of my apartment's front door felt comforting against my forehead. I let my skin remain against the portal to my personal space for...

  Hello there! SPOILERS AHEAD.  I didn't want to write this rant but there is so much anger circulating my brain that the only healthy way to dispose of that emotion is to channel it into something productive.  Let me start of by saying that I wanted to like this series. When the rumors of an Obi-Wan Kenobi show / movie started doing the rounds, I was kinda hyped for it. I was curious to see what they could do with this beloved character. Apparently all they could do was make a show filled with logical fallacies and complete disregard for character motivation just to show off some cool images and set pieces.  Before I get too far into the rant, I wanna apologize if any of this seems a tad disjointed or unorganized. I'm literally writing this just after watching the final episode and I'm allowing the words just to flow forth from me.  Another thing I want to mention before I tear this finale apart worse than Darth Vader tore that ship apart, I do not blame a...
