Leave a reply

Black Mirror was one of those creepy anthology science fiction that provided audiences a new layer of dystopia.  Heavily inspired The Twilight Zone, each episode takes audiences to a disturbing world that features unique technology.  The series first began on Channel 4 and eventually came to Netflix on October 21st, 2016.  

There are seven seasons so far, with 33 episodes in total.  The last batch of episodes released on April 10th 2025.  And this year we are getting even MORE episodes of Black Mirror.

Netflix announced that Black Mirror has been renewed for an eighth season this year.  Black Mirror creator Charlie Booker announced that the series was coming back for an eighth season, just around the time that the series received seven Golden Globe nominations.  Booker also teased that more sequel episodes like ‘USS Callister: Into Infinity’ are in the works.

So this year we are getting more episodes of Black Mirror.  Just like American Horror Story and Inside No. 9, Black Mirror was credited for reviving the anthology television format.  This series was modeled in the style of series like Tales of the Unexpected and Hammer House of Horror.  Black Mirror is an intriguing anthology story that showcased all kinds of horror, including dystopian technology.

Escape from Ever After (Paper Mario meets Shrek)

The interesting thing about Indie games is that they take inspiration from famous games over the years.  Cold and Afraid was a PS1-style crime and mystery game that looks like a classic PlayStation 1 game.  A Hat in Time acts as a love letter to 3D platformers like Banjo-Kazooie and Super Mario 64.  And there is also Ori and the Blind Forest, the nostalgic platform-adventure Metroidvania game that takes you into a world like no other. 

And this week, a new fairy tale RPG game will soon be released known as Escape from Ever After.  

Escape from Ever After is a Paper Mario-inspired RPG series starring Flynt Buckler, a peppy hero who seeks to defeat the terrifying dragon Tinder.  The large conglomerate, Ever After Inc., has taken over Flynt’s storybook and thrown Tinder into a holding cell.  It is a clever mix of Paper Mario, Shrek, and some of the Mario & Luigi series games.  The adventure begins this week as Escape from Ever After comes out Friday January 23rd.

Now Escape from Ever After is a unique concept for an Indie game.  The game looks like something out of Paper Mario, but with its own original story.  Fans will soon be delighted by the sharp, witty RPG once Escape from Ever After releases this Friday.
