Apparently Cyanide & Happiness Has a Video Game Kickstarter

If you are anything like me, you completely missed the announcement for the The Cyanide & Happiness Adventure Game Kickstarter campaign, but the creators at ExplosmEntertainment have provided a friendly reminder in the form of a humorous infomercial (warning: very NSFW).

For those of you who don’t know, Cyanide & Happiness is a YouTube series of crude cartoons aimed at adults where literally anything can happen, from Superman giving people cancer by looking at them with his x-ray vision to a luchador who lives his life in reverse thanks to a cursed Ancient Egyptian amulet. And that’s just a sampler of the tamer episodes. The Cyanide & Happiness cartoon wanders into territories the makers of South Park dare not go, so viewers who enjoy an episode where a shark tries to cheer up his human son (don’t question it) at a birthday party shouldn’t be surprised when another episode features a seeing-eye dog who looks up women’s skirts and describes what he sees to his owner. No, the dog doesn’t talk, because that would be silly; his owner just understands the dog’s barks. It’s just that kind of cartoon.

Show of hands: who wants to hear about the trailer? Ok, and what about the Kickstarter campaign? Kickstarter it is. (ahem) The The Cyanide & Happiness Adventure Game Kickstarter page describes the game as “a new approach to point-and-click adventures filled dark comedy, drama, weirdness, and an apocalypse in the suburbs.” The story will follow the main character Coop as he navigates his town of Netherville and encounters everything from oncoming graduation woes to radioactive sentient chairs. Don’t expect anything lower than an M ESRB rating (or a PEGI 18 rating) on this game. Oh, and did I mention the developers of the The Cyanide & Happiness Adventure Game have worked on meme-tastic games such as Abobo’s Big Adventure?

The Kickstarter campaign is already halfway finished, but it’s amassed over $400,000 from a $300,000 goal (not surprising given the popularity of ExplosmEntertainment’s previous Kickstarter campaign, the Cards Against Humanity-esque card game Joking Hazard). Pledge tiers start as low as $5, but backers can’t get the game unless they pledge $25 or more. Tiers reach all the way up to $5,000 and include rewards such as digital wallpapers, a real-world medallion, a backer’s name appearing in the game, and a backer’s likeness appearing in the game. Lower tiers guarantee the appearance of the NPC doppleganger, while higher tiers will see the NPC die/transform into an evil mutant.

Gamers who want to back a game that makes South Park: The Stick of Truth look like Putt Putt Saves the Zoo might want to pledge some money to the The Cyanide & Happiness Adventure Game Kickstarter campaign. If the campaign reaches $475,000, the game will be even longer, and if an even higher (and unspecified) amount is reached, the game will be even more longerer, so here’s hoping this article spreads the news.

All you have to do to get my attention is talk about video games, technology, anime, and/or Dungeons & Dragons - also people in spandex fighting rubber suited monsters.

New PS5 Patch Introduces Rare 40FPS Mode for Avatar Game

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora has received an exciting update that introduces a new graphical mode, elevating the game’s visual experience. With a smooth frame rate of 40 frames per second and enhanced resolutions, players can now immerse themselves in even more stunning and detailed environments. Now downloadable on PS5 with the latest patch 3.2, this mode is compatible with 4K TVs that can handle up to 120 Hz. Before this update, Avatar PS5 only offered quality and performance modes. However, with this new option, players can now enjoy the benefits of both modes after downloading the 2.4GB update.

Throughout the PS5 era, 40fps modes have been a rarity, much to the disappointment of the hardcore community. Insomniac Games first introduced them in Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales and later added the feature to Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. They also included it in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Other PS5 titles, such as Hogwarts Legacy, Lies of P, and God of War Ragnarok, also offer 40fps modes.

In addition to that, Patch 3.2 for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora brings along the following:

Worldwide:

  • Research Station Alpha now features a convenient Fast Travel option
  • The issue of controller re-mapping and resetting on game restart has been resolved
  • Addressed multiple instances of crashes
  • I corrected a few spelling errors
  • Addressed the issue of voice lines overlapping during dialogue

Primary Objectives & Optional Objectives:

  • [Main Quest: Shadows of the Past] This main quest is an intriguing journey into the depths of history. Addressed a bug that previously hindered quest progression in co-op mode

More bug fixes have been implemented.

  • [Available on all platforms] The rescued human characters no longer return to the Resistance HQ wearing masks
  • Available on all platforms. There is a noticeable improvement in the visibility of NPCs when they are at the edge of the Player’s vision

Fear not; for those worried about potential censorship issues with the PS5-exclusive Stellar Blade, set to release on April 26th, Sony has got you covered. ShiftUp, the developer, proudly assures players that the game will maintain its uncensored content across all regions, including Japan.

We have to admit, we didn’t anticipate this as a potential issue or a potential selling point. The main character, Eve, and her revealing costumes have been heavily showcased in the game’s pre-release marketing. Nevertheless, it is pleasing to witness ShiftUp’s evident enthusiasm as their vision prepares to reach the hands of a vast number of players.

Regarding Stellar Blade, Yoko Taro believes it surpasses NieR: Automata, and we were pleased to learn that the game will be considerate of your PS5 storage capacity. The demo is now available for you to try, and it has nearly doubled the daily active users of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This is quite impressive, especially considering it is the game’s first console showing.

Will you be there to experience Stellar Blade on its release day? It’s certainly a relief to witness the game remaining uncensored until the last moment. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.
