One highly talented fan ofElden Ringhas edited themselves into the game, giving a glimpse as to how someone would react to fighting Godrick the Grafted, albeit with a bit more durability than an average person. Fans have takenElden Ringcharacters in various directionsthat tonally contrast with the dark fantasy setting, but this is a unique instance of a fan directly putting themselves in the game to comedic effect. AlthoughGodrick is technically optional inElden Ring, the game heavily guides players to fight him as the first boss carrying a Great Rune and is seen as one of the first major roadblocks for newer players to overcome....

TheFalloutseries went down in gaming history for its mix of social commentary, dark comedy, and creative post-apocalyptic worldbuilding. However, the franchise is also well known for the number of glitches and bizarre happenings.

Most might be thinking of aFar Crygame in particular, because that’s usually what the narrative of each game can be boiled down to, at least on a base level. Ever sinceFar Cry 3, the villain of each mainline entry (and even some spin-offs as well) has been a dictator-style figure with the franchise’s now-trademark tinge of insanity....

The writers ofGame of Throneshad to adapt George R. R. Martin’s expansive world of Westeros to the screen. Of course,not every character made the final cut. Would the show have been better off including all of these characters? Possibly. It’s hard to know for sure. Yet there’s one character from the books who definitely should have been included. Adding this character would have likely made the show’s ending more satisfying. Andthe writers definitely needed that....
