Well. Another Christmas, another mwaka of stress, later leading to total bankruptcy because of the expensive PS4 wewe bought for your children, and you’ll be forced to starve while your parents work multiple jobs just to get by. What a magical time of year. So, naturally, whenever this time of mwaka comes up, I play every video game I can find and look over at all of the krisimasi themed levels in it. Weather it is a huge mound of krisimasi with lights and ribbons, au if it’s a small mound of snow, krisimasi is always a nice thing to see in video games. So, today, I want to share with wewe all my personal inayopendelewa krisimasi levels in video games. Rules, as usual. Only one game per franchise, and only ones that I have played. So, with all that said, let us start the list.
#10: Turnabout Goodbyes from Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney
Yep, that’s right. The last trial in the game, where Miles Edgeworth is framed for murder, tensions are high, Manfred acts like a total jerk throughout the trial, Phoenix has no chance at finding the evidence he needs, and has resorted to kuvuka, msalaba examining a damn parrot, kasuku just to figure out something about some crazy mashua renter. So, with all of that insanity, it makes wewe wonder. What in the hell does any of this have to do with Christmas? Well, the crime takes place on December 25th. They also mention that it is krisimasi several times, with the real killer saying Merry Christmas, and the DJ on the radio that Larry was listening to on the night of the murder points out that it is ten dakika until krisimasi (Remember, it’s Ace Attorney. The smallest evidence can be very effective). So, yeah. Even though it has practically nothing to do about Christmas, I am still including it on this list. Next!
#9: Snowman’s Land from Super Mario 64
This may be a bit zaidi of a snow level rather than a krisimasi level. I mean, January and February also have snow, but every time I play through Snowman’s Land, it just feels like Christmas. With Cool Cool Mountain, it just feels like a giant snowy mountain, and not much of Christmas. But with Snowman’s Land, it, to me, feels so much like krisimasi in a way. The huge snowy ground, with an igloo wewe can go into, a frozen lake, a large ice platform wewe can battle a Bully on juu of, and of course, the one that sticks out of them all, the giant snowman that wewe need to scale in order to get the nyota on top, which can blow wewe off if wewe don’t hide behind the giant penguin. just looking up at the snowman in first person mode is incredible to me, and I can never get tired of looking up to remember that I have to climb to the juu of that thing for a star. Yeah, it may not look like Christmas, but it definitely has the krisimasi feeling.
#8: Festive Pack from Minecraft
This may not count as a level, per say, but hey, it’s Christmas. And it’s in a video game. So that’s good enough for me. This has so much to do with Christmas, with the skins including Santa, Rudolph, an elf, a snowman, a zombie covered in figgy pudding, a Creeper in a Santa hat, a walking present, a walking tree, a gingerbread man, Scrooge from A krisimasi Carol, and a bunch of ugly sweaters, just like Christmas. There are also the dozens of new building equipment wewe get around this time, such as a nice log cabin, a giant tree, an ice cave, a snowy landscape, and wewe can make it snow. And who doesn’t like snow? (Anyone who has to drive an saa to work, that’s who). It’s so krisimasi themed, that the sun has turned into a giant snowflake. What’s not to upendo about that. Yes, I know, it’s no level. But damn it, it’s Christmas. And I want Christmas. And THIS HERE is Christmas.
#7: Snow Land from Kirby’s Epic Yarn
Don’t worry. After this, there won’t be anymore snow levels. Still though, this level feels even zaidi like a krisimasi level. Snow Land is the sixth world in the game, and it definitely has zaidi of a krisimasi feeling to me. The levels consist of a large snowy plain where Weedle Dees throw snowballs, a small little cabin, kibanda in the snow, a large slippery mountain with pine trees, a frozen land that Kirby has to skate across, and then there’s the last level of Snow Land, Evergreen Lift, where Kirby has to climb the juu of a giant krisimasi mti to reach the nyota at the top. The treasures here are also krisimasi related, such as wreaths and trees, and the music… OH THE MUSIC. This is easily my inayopendelewa song from the games soundtrack. It definitely has that krisimasi feeling to it, and I upendo it so much. Sure, it starts slow, but when it gets to the krisimasi stuff, it is just amazing.
#6: wewe Better Watch Out from Hitman: Blood Money
We sure did talk about a bunch of light hearted games like Mario and Kirby, so let’s talk about a krisimasi level from a game where wewe assassinate people. Agent 47 is asked to assassinate Lorne de Havilland, who has footage of Senator Bingham’s son murdering a woman and plans to onyesha it to the people, so Agent 47 is tasked to get the footage and assassinate the target… with a krisimasi theme. Like any Hitman game, wewe are able to hide yourself kwa donning disguises and striking at the target when the time is right. In this mission, however, wewe are actually able to dress Agent 47 as Santa Clause. Now I can finally play a game where I shoot a man out of a jacuzzi that is 70 feet about a rocky mountain dressed as Santa. Who would have thought. The level is filled with krisimasi decorations, holiday music, and girls dressed in the shortest elf skirts I’ve ever seen… well, this is a party in a Hitman game, so I am not to surprised. However, don’t let the krisimasi theme fool you. There is still the chance wewe wewe getting attacked kwa the assassin that is after Agent 47. But, let me tell you, nothing, not even nearly getting murdered, is going to keep me from enjoying this level.
#5: Totally Scrooged from Gex 3: Enter the Gecko
For those of wewe who haven’t heard of this level…. I wouldn’t be surprised. Still, it’s a good krisimasi level. wewe start off in a little snowy land, where the North Pole has been torn apart kwa evil elves and a huge Evil Santa mini-boss, who throws presents at wewe so hard, they can kill you. Yeah, imagine that. However, that’s not all this level has. wewe are also able to enter the small houses inside to find health au Remotes, and wewe are also able to explore zaidi than just this little area. Some other places include a large snowy bridge where wewe can save a dinosaur character (I don’t get it either), a small lake where wewe can jump across icebergs, and a kilima where wewe can sled down to the bottom while fighting evil elves who try to knock wewe off. Yeah, it definitely lacks that whole krisimasi feeling, but hey, I see trees, I see Candy canes, I even see Santa, so it still counts in my book.
#4: Gotham City from Batman: Arkham Origins
Yes, I know, the online mode is terrible, and this is nowhere near as great as Arkham City, but, at least it’s not Batman and Robin… so with that movie in your mind, try to avoid getting mad for this entry while I talk about it. I didn’t know where they were going when I put this game in, but the last thing I expected was that they would actually make it krisimasi time around here. Throughout the game, wewe can see krisimasi EVERYWHERE! There are huge wreaths strung across the bridges, there is a giant krisimasi mti in the middle of town, one of the thugs acts like Santa, and even Alfred tries to keep Bruce Wayne nyumbani for Christmas, despite the fact that Black Mask has a bunch of assassins looking for Batman to kill him, including Deathstroke. So naturally, just sitting around isn’t the best idea. Yeah, Arkham Origins isn’t the best in the series, but hey… Could be Dark Tomorrow.
#3: Freezeezy Peak from Banjo-Kazooie
Oh man, does this place feel like Christmas. Freezeezy Peak is the fifth world wewe enter in Banjo-Kazooie. And when wewe see that giant snowman for the first time, the first thing that pops up into your mind (Or at least mine) is Christmas. The entire level, even the muziki for it, is all just a bunch of krisimasi themes. From the tree, to the igloo, to the snowy landscape. It just screams krisimasi and I upendo it. There are many interesting places to go, like the Snowman, as stated earlier, Boggy’s igloo, the Ice Key in the cave, and village is a nice looking place too. There are some Jiggies to get here as well, kwa beating Boggy in a sledding race (Twice), get the Twinkles into the tree, turn into a walrus and talk to Wozza, beat Sir Slush, knock the buttons off of the snowman, find krisimasi presents, and jump into the snowman's pipe to find a Jiggie. This place is just incredible. There sure were a lot of N64 games with a lot of krisimasi levels.
#2: krisimasi Is Here from Bully
krisimasi is supposed to be one of the happiest times of the year. Not for Jimmy though, that’s for sure. When krisimasi rolls around, all it is is embarrassment and manual labor. It all starts with Jimmy having to pick up a present that his mother sent him, which is none other than an ugly sweater, which, once he puts it on, everyone laughs at him, and you’ll have to endure it for the entire day. After which, you’ll have to go on stage to be in the kids play of the Nutcracker under the threat that if wewe refuse, wewe will fail muziki class. And if that wasn’t bad enough, after that, wewe have to help some homeless Santa make money from kids kwa finding thrown out krisimasi decorations and bringing it to him to bring children, while being chased kwa two elves and a dog (Don’t ask me). Yeah, it’s far from having all the krisimasi cheer, but what can I say. I really like Bully.
#1: Toy siku from Animal Crossing
Of course I was going to include this one in here. It just had to be Animal Crossing. wewe gotta wait for krisimasi in reality, and wewe gotta wait for it here in Animal Crossing as well. But, that isn’t what makes it number one. No, there are a LOT zaidi reasons that make it number one on this list. What I like about it is how it really IS Christmas. No climbing up snowmen, no walking through a snowy field, no beating up criminals, no defending people in court, no murdering a guy because he’s blackmailing a political figure. No, this is straight up Christmas. In the original Animal Crossing game, Jingle would reward wewe with a present every time wewe found him, while delivering presents to the other villagers. In City Folk, he would give wewe a present for each different pair of clothing wewe had. And in New Leaf, he just got incredibly lazy and asks wewe to deliver the presents and instead of getting five au as many as wewe want, wewe get one….. New Leaf’s one isn’t all that good, really. But, who cares, it still has the krisimasi feeling, it still has the wonderful moments that krisimasi brings, and it still gives wewe that warm feeling wewe get every year. And that’s why Toy siku is number one.
So, there wewe have it. Did wewe enjoy the list? Tell me what wewe thought of it. With that said, I will see wewe all inayofuata time.

So, there wewe have it. Did wewe enjoy the list? Tell me what wewe thought of it. With that said, I will see wewe all inayofuata time.
Now, after watching that overrated filth that is Cloverfield (I kid, I just like irritating people), I felt like watching another found footage film. Blair Witch Project sounded good, but I had to pass on it. There was Paranormal Activity, but…. I don’t care. But then I remembered that there was another, made kwa the Spanish. And this was something that peaked my interest. The 2007 found footage… zombie? Film, REC

Okay… So I never actually played much Kingdom Hearts games. I played the first game with my friend, and thought, “Boy, this is fucking stupid, but I liked that gameplay. Maybe if they worked on the uandishi a little more, I’d try out zaidi of this game”. And then I played Kingdom Hearts 2… The uandishi never got better, but hey, who cares at this point. Let’s talk about how great Kingdom Hearts is.
So I did not play Chain of Memories before going into 2, (Mistake on my part), so I just read a few pages on the plot description so I could be less confused, and came to the conclusion...
#20: Angel Beats
Oh god, this anime was depressing. The anime is about a group of students who enter a high school that is a sort of limbo that is made to help the students pass onto the inayofuata world. Here, they rebel against god, and fight against a girl named Angel. Now, if there is anything this anime does right, it’s its story. It is just so original and something that hasn’t been done before and I upendo it. Another thing that needs to be pointed out is it’s animation. Sure, some of wewe nitpickers out there will say it looks just about the same as any other anime, but then, that...

#30: Arthur
Here it is. The onyesha of my childhood. Arthur was about a world of anthropomorphic animals, and the main one being Arthur, who lived in a simple town, and was taught new things, along with his friends. This onyesha was on the PBS Channel and was made to be an educational show. Again, call me pathetic all wewe want, but this onyesha was amazing. The first time I saw this, I didn’t know how this was an educational show. I didn’t see the thing that I saw on all educational shows where the characters would talk about science, math, words, au other stuff like that. But actually, this...

It is no surprise that I upendo the Persona franchise (And I assure you, I will be talking about the franchise later on this list), and it is clear that it has a ton of dark subjects in those games, but it always comes back to happy days, spending time with friends. And then Catherine comes along to turn those subject matters up to eleven.
Catherine follows Vincent Brooks, a huge loser of a guy who is scared of commitment to his girlfriend, Katherine, with a K. But things start to get real crazy when he starts to experience nightmares where he must climb a tower, and if he dies in the dream,...
I don’t play a lot of pixel art games. It’s not cause I hate them, it’s just that I never had the chance to experience them. I did play a few NES games and thought, “Yeah, that was okay”, but never anything that really gripped me and kept my attention. But then, something amazing happened. Indie games happened, the best genre of games that everyone should support. And one of the best indie games out there, one that really broke the mold and brought indie games into the forefront, was the classic Shovel Knight
Now, when wewe hear indie games, people bring up Shovel Knight as THE...
Back in my original Corner of Horror October movie marathon two years zamani (Jesus, that was actually two years ago), I made a review on a Peter Jackson horror film, Braindead, au Dead Alive, au whatever wewe wish to call it, and thought that it was an entertaining splatter horror film. Little to my knowledge is that there was another, one before this film, also made kwa the Lord of the Rings director, all the way back in 1987, with a film called Bad Taste. So, was Peter Jackson’s first film possibly one of his best? Well, let’s find out.
