Slender Man Is In Plants Vs. Zombies Garden Warfare
Hiding, watching, and immune, Slender Man lurks in the seemingly cheerful Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare. The second video below shows how to find him and also highlights the Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker Easter Eggs in the game:

One of the conceits of adventure games that made them so strong in the 90s was their flexibility. By focusing on plot and puzzles, the range of subject material appropriate to cover expanded immensely. In that respect, Ether One is very much a 90s Adventure game.
What would it look like from Earth if the Moon were a giant disco ball?

So, technically, this is what it would look like if the Moon were a disco ball AND orbited Earth at the same distance as the International Space Station, i.e. roughly 420 kilometers (260 miles) above the surface of the Earth. But that doesn't make it any less incredible looking.

One of the best things about Dark Souls is how it handles backstory — which is to say it buries it in the woods upstate and hopes you find it. That is why this (mostly) accurate explainer is so rewarding!

If you've just rediscovered an old console in the back of your closet, or you've gotten into retro gaming and want the genuine experience, you've probably stood in front of your shiny new LCD or plasma TV with a console made in the age of CRTs, wondering what to do.
