The Most Immersive Kind of Video Game Easter Egg

I made a video exploring a phenomenon where one game will include a playable segment that’s a clear reference to a gameplay segment of another game. Special thanks to @anyaustin.bsky.social for the idea.

Mildly Interesting People and Places in Spider-Man 2 YouTube video by Not Fricking Nick

I spent an afternoon people-watching in Spider-Man 2 on the PS5. Here’s what I found.

Just a heads up, stream has been pushed back to Saturday, February 1st! We look forward to seeing you guys next week 🙂

10. The Apprentice: Insanely stacked year with Oscar-worthy performances so I don’t know if the boys will get it but they did SO good

9. Raiders of the Lost Ark: decided to watch anti Nazi cinema for no particular reason. Love that Indy knows he’s fighting against the worst of the worst and as such he just plays dirty.

8. A Real Pain: ooof I loved this movie but hate how called out I felt for avoiding sincerity and feeling whenever I deem doing so would be a burden.

7. All About Eve: Surprisingly Eve is only the second biggest diva of this year’s history, behind Snake Plissken.

6. Airplane! - crazy how they made a movie with my kind of humor more than a decade before I was born.

5. Taxi Driver: Marty and De Niro are always going to be a GOATed combo, just like men not getting therapy is always going to be society’s problem.

4. Bottle Rocket: Wes Anderson’s first film was a fun little awkward ride. Like a rated-R Napoleon Dynamite.

3. Escape from New York: Snake Plissken is such a diva I wish I was him.

2. Kinds of Kindness: a very odd movie but in a very good way. Loved the trio of Jesse Plemons, Willem Dafoe, and Emma Stone.

1. Nosferatu: I did not hate the stache. Great performances and gorgeous cinematography.

I will be playing Dead by Daylight with @pixelbushyt.bsky.social, MintSkull, and @azhymovs.bsky.social while we discuss DBD Lore, content creation, and whatever you guys want to hear as part of my talk show “Hooked Ones” this Saturday at Noon Pacific!

17-hour @anyaustin.bsky.social video where he does a direct survey of everybody in a city in Baldur’s Gate 3 to assess their unemployment rate.

I got a Dead by Daylight hacker to agree to an interview next month. What would you like for me to ask them?

Gorejira has agreed to briefly come out of his DBD retirement to play some rounds with me for my talk show Hooked Ones! We will be live in about 4 hours.

LIVE WITH LEON KENNEDY’S VOICE ACTOR twitch.tv/frickingnick

TONIGHT: Riley McShane (4 hours in DBD) and I (3,000 hours in DBD) will duo in Dead by Daylight while having a chat about his experience voicing Leon Kennedy in the game! BE THERE please 🥺

We had to reschedule so the talk show with Riley McShane (Leon Kennedy’s voice actor in DBD) will be on THURSDAY. Stop by to enjoy some good old fashioned Dead by Daylight gameplay while we talk about his career and interactions with the community!

Love the energy over at Dead by Daylight to have this get steadily worse over the course of two Halloween events only to not do anything with it this year.

Hey guys Leon Kennedy’s VA from Dead by Daylight agreed to play DBD with me while I interview him for my Hot Ones-like talk show! Hope to see you there!
