Hi! I'm putting myself out there for commissions! Friends seem to think I can do this, I don't buy it, but maybe you can prove me wrong. I have 5 slots open.

I was cleaning up my PC andΒ realized I still had all of these mockups I did when the hype was big. Figured I'd put them up so I can free up my file space.
If you missed it,Β SiIvaGunner: Law & Disorder - Lethal ProceedingsΒ was a takeover of theΒ SiIvaGunnerΒ YT Channel that had been promised for quite a while. It's a big crossover betweenΒ DanganronpaΒ &Β Ace Attorney,Β where Monokuma has taken over the SiIvaGunner YouTube Channel, and is forcing Phoenix Wright to make the music. However, Phoenix thinks something isn't quite right with this arrangement. Maybe it's the fact he's been kidnapped and forced to do this, but can it really be true that they've legitimately taken over SG?
FeaturingΒ 3 Full-Days of InvestigationΒ and a fullΒ Trial Segment,Β complete withΒ Monokuma TheaterΒ and a recap of the admittedly complexΒ SiIvaGunner Lore.
So anyway; I decided I was gonna create a couple of mockups of what it would be like as an actual Ace Attorney/Danganronpa game and take all of the various gameplay elements (that I wanted to work with) and recreate them on the DS.

Welcome back to our Double Feature! Where I rate and compare a horror film with a similar plot to a Scooby-Doo episode. Tonight's mystery?
"A Clue For Scooby-Doo" opens with Scooby & The Gang hanging out on the beach... in the middle of the night. First you break into a museum, now you're cooking hot dogs and partying in the middle of the night? Of course, this is when they bump into a ghostly deep-sea diving suit that seems keen to keep anyone and everyone out of the water. They begin poking around and asking questions. The biggest revelation is that this is the ghost of Captain Cutler, a deep-sea diver who died somewhere out there. Now he's sinking various ships, and plotting his revenge.
They go to ask his wife, Mrs. Cutler (who is about as hammy as a pork roast) what happened to Captain Cutler. The Witch-coded widow tells them that she is responsible for the resurrection of her husband. They're never like "Sorry; this guy is shipwrecking various ships and terrifying people, and your response is "Wha- IT'S YOUR FAULT." Scooby and the Gang recognize this hag digs her witch vibe, and nothing is gonna stop her.
But what's really important, is apparently Scooby-Doo thinks laundry water tastes like soup! That's probably why Shag n' Scoob eat bizarre dishes like peanut butter & sardines with chocolate sauce. That, and a photo of Captain Cutler is posted directly on the wall.
Leaving the place, not feeling very fulfilled, Scoob discovers a patch of seaweed (50% sea, 50% weed), that has the same eerie glow as Captain Cutler! After some research, Velma deduces it's a type of seaweed that only grows in the Graveyard of Ships.
This of course means, a great fun, deep sea diving adventure. Surprisingly, most of the episode from here on until the big reveal is pretty spooky. Unnaturally so for the early outings of the gang. The Ted Nichols soundtrack doesn't get nearly as loud as in The Black Knight episode, and the suspense is allowed to breathe. The answer itself is also quite enthralling.
It turns out that, Captain Cutler, faked his death and in-tandem with his false-witch widow decided they'd steal the boats via submarine, and repaint them in a hidden underwater cave. Overall? A 10/10 episode, classic capture, and there's a lot of just good scares to be had. I can't believe they just found an old corpse down below in a different old ship. Whether this was related to Captain Cutler, or if this figure died prior to this, it isn't said. But the questions that arrive is just, good. The question is, can our competition compete?
Amsterdamned is a (1988) Dutch Giallo that takes place in... well Amsterdam. A killer is using the tunnels, systems and canals of Amsterdam to hunt and stalk seemingly random victims. Without much of an M.O. and only a near focus to get onto, the detectives don't have much of a clue.
Enter Eric Visser, our lead detective on this case.
He's... not really your Sherlock Holmes type, he's not even a noir type. He's sort of out of place in this sort of movie, because he's kind of an action hero. The first thing we see him do is fight a robber at a bakery with nothing but his fists and some cuffs. He's honestly kind of rad. (Also a little hot.)
I'm gonna choose not to tell you too much about the plot. Instead I'll focus on some scenes I find really interesting in terms of the comparison. For instance, there's this great scene where one of the detectives is checking out the scene of one of the murders. Which happens to be in a boat that sunk to the bottom of the canal, but they're worried that guy might be down there still. So, they attach their detective guy to a small rope, and if trouble comes they pull him back up to the surface. (Which is already a little Scooby-like.) This guy heads down there, and it's dead silent. It's funny, we've been in this room not but a scene earlier, but with just daylight above to light up this small cabin, it somehow seems alien. He's in there, looking around when the corpse of the previous victim floats over, and immediately he's scrambling to move away because he thinks it's the killer. He gives a tug on the rope to signal he's okay and decides to call off the investigation. When he sees Tall, Dark and Creepy with the knife, what follows this scene, is something I can only describe as being incredibly Indiana Jones. It really reminded me of the Venice boat chase from Last Crusade. Truly just great cinema, fantastic thriller. Up until about the end. I really don't wanna spoil it, but the ending to this film really ruins it for me, because the big reveal doesn't lead to a big climatic fight against our bad guy, it's sort of an airhorn at the symphony. I would not call this a perfect 10/10 film, probably like a 7. I think it's got a very predictable killer reveal, but the mystery is tense, and the set-up is fairly original. In fact; it's so original, that one could argue that perhaps I'm reaching a bit for its comparison to A Clue For Scooby-Doo. Honestly? I can kind of see the issues already in it, but this is for all intents and purposes, a horror murder mystery film that features a Deep Sea Diver, and it's got a few great scenes in common. In fact, it was very difficult finding a film that matched my needs so specifically. So... honestly, I think Scooby-Doo might take this round. I was very impressed by Amsterdamned, with some very good kills, but overall A Clue With Scooby-Doo didn't need more than a few Scooby-Snacks to catch that villain with a satisfying end.

On October 13th. 1969, Scooby-Doo: Where Are You, released to the children of the world. In celebration of Scooby-Doo's 56th Anniversary, I figured I would make a fun film game called the Double Feature! For the entirety of ScoobTober, I'll be showcasing and comparing an episode of 1969's Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! (and the Scooby-Doo Show) with another film that contains a very similar plot. Also, secondarily to see if films with more budget can outdo Hanna-Barbara with NO budget.
Scooby-Doo, Where Are You's first episode is also one of its best episodes. Shaggy & Scooby are walking home one night, when they discover... A Knight sitting in the front seat of a truck. Well, actually it's an empty suit of armor, and according to the box in the back, it was supposed to go to the Museum. There's only one problem: Where's the driver? Which is, I gotta say, just a freaking fantastic hook. You start the episode with 3 questions: What, Where, And Why? Though the Scoob mystery isn't exactly riveting, this provides a really good picture as to how to setup one.
After Shag n' Scoob call up the gang, they drive into town in the Mystery Machine to return it to the Museum. They meet the curator who then tells them that the suit of armor, The Black Knight, comes to life at night on a full moon. (Which apparently happens two days in a row.) The Black Knight was discovered by a British Professor "Professor Hyde White" who is now mysteriously missing. After they drive away, the gang realizes that Scooby-Doo is a thief, because the dog stole a pair of examiner glasses. Instead of acknowledging this folly, the gang is like "Gee, let's hit the library figure out what these fuckers are." So they're in there, and Velma's looking over the book in the- Hey! It's the shot from the opening!
Anyway, uh... yeah, they realize these glasses come from Europe and could only have been used by the missing archeologist! So, they all get together, and despite Shaggy's request, they unilaterally decide to break into the museum in the middle of the night and...
... break and damage countless artifacts, in a move that would break Indiana Jones into tears. There's this really cool scene in the episode, where for a moment Daphne wonders if there's blood on the floor, like if there's a dead body on sight. Fred squashes it, and says it's paint. (Cop-out.) But this leads to the realization that actually the Curator kidnapped the Professor, and was selling counterfeit paintings. To hide his dealings he decided the best way to do that was SPOOPY knight shit. Overall, a really good episode, but it's got some flaws. My biggest issue with 1969's Scooby-Doo: Where Are You, is it's pacing, inconsistent tone, and... honestly? Ted Nichols' Soundtrack is WAY too loud and obnoxious. I really wish it let some scenes breathe. That said; that's what makes this compelling, is if a movie can outdo Hanna-Barbara with more budget, and without the benefit of Meddling Kids.
If you haven't seen Kolchak: The Night Stalker, it follows Carl Kolchak, a Chicago reporter for the INS (Independent News Service), who typically discovers the string of murders he's investigating turn out to be a Vampire, Werewolf, or some other spooky thing. Like if Columbo was Scooby-Doo essentially. Fun Fact: This show also inspired Chris Carter to make the X-Files! Now; I know what you might be thinking. Nick, this is a TV show, not a movie. Yeah, technically, but they're more like TV movies with a clear-cut formula. Plus, I'm sure you'll agree The Knightly Murders has a lot in common with What A Night For A Knight.
Kolchak shows up to a murder scene and begins asking a verbose, tangential, and dense police captain a few questions about the homicide and about a potential culprit. The murder weapon was a bolt from an ancient bow. Upon chasing a few leads, Carl Kolchak discovers that each of the murders are linked to a Hydecker Museum, which is being reimagined as a disco. This doesn't make the Curator too happy, but he isn't in a position to fight demands. He is more than happy to tell our impromptu detective nothing about the murder. It isn't till he speaks to the new owner that he gets new information. The identity of the killer.
Unfortunately, this haunted suit of armor watched The Shining last night and is looking to kill anyone and anybody associated with the museum, and the tarnishing of his legacy. Of course, Kolchak, a man of reason, tries to tell the police, and his boss, that clearly the curator dressed in the suit of armor, and is killing each and everyone involved with the owning of the museum. Except... the curator literally can't fit into the suit of armor. At all. So, following in the gang's footsteps, Carl decides he's gonna B&E into the museum, because obviously the suit of armor is haunted. So, he breaks in through the window; goes up to the armor and knocks on it and-
Can you believe that luck? It's the same shot! Like, who knew?
ππππ’πππ π£πππ€πππ£π’ I think I might like The Knightly Murders more, if only for the journey is better than A Night for a Knight, but unfortunately Kolchak does not have the better destination. The ending of The Night Stalker kind of just... happens. Usually in Kolchak, we see them fight the Knight, and there's a gruff confrontation with the police, or Carl's boss Vicenzo busts him out, but it's really, really weak. Scooby-Doo on the other hand, gets a chance to resolve all of its plot threads at the last bit, so there's a lot more closure. Kolchak also has a lot of pacing issues this episode that really drags it down. We only see the creature 3 times. That said, the investigation itself, the mystery, it all builds up to a satisfying conclusion that says to me, maybe Kolchak couldn't get away with it, without those meddling kids' help in the pacing department.

SCOOBY-DOO, WHERE IN SILENT HILL ARE YOU? (2005)
After a traffic accident, Mystery Incorporated wake up in the dark misty town of Silent Hill, the fog only unveiling the sign. The van is out of commission, there's noises far out but there's only one question on their minds. "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?"
Developed by Team Silent in 2005, Shaggy Rogers (Matthew Lillard), and the rest of the gang split up across Silent Hill to find their faithful canine. But that's not all that Silent Hill is, that's not what it does.

My ma has worked at JoAnn Fabrics since forever, and while I can't speak for the entire company people will drive entire states to go to her branch in Michigan. JoAnn Fabrics may be just another company, but it's one of the most easily accessible and well put together fabric stores you can find.
πβπ»ππΈβπΈ ππβπΌπ α΄Ι΄α΄ α΄Κα΄ Ι’Κα΄α΄α΄ α΄ΙͺΚα΄Κα΄ does many many things. But one thing it does, that I see often unappreciated is that it refocuses our attention on Dr. Indiana Jones in a different light.
The Indiana Jones Series is broadly about Doctor Jones going a race-war to steal a relic of great power from great evil. However, he's often forced to revisit an aspect of his life he'd been largely avoiding. Indy's relationship with Marion Ravenwood being the most complicated.
A toxic history, a major mistake, and a reminder of how terrible he is. Is exactly who Marion Ravenwood is to Indiana Jones. But in Raiders, years after the disgusting act Indiana Jones did to Marion Ravenwood they have nothing but time to reconcile their histories.
In Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones proves to Marion, and himself, that he is a much better man than the terrible one he LET himself be. By deciding to be better than Belloq and setting aside obsession with fortune and glory he walks away with the love of his life. Reshaped for the better.
Except... He isn't.
He's drunk. He's alone. He didn't make good on his promises. He wasn't more than obsession with fortune and glory and he let that destroy his relationship with Marion. The Siwa Expedition is the knife that cuts her away, and forces her to hide her pregnancy from Dr. Henry Jones Jr. She believed him never to be ready for love.
In The Great Circle, We open with Indiana Jones, drunk, miserable, and in search of distraction. We see it end with final goodbyes and Gina Lombardi, his traveling companion and romantic interest, leaves his life in pursuit of her own interests.
It's a cruel twist of irony. Dr. Indiana Jones finds a new love, but she is just as obsessed with a goal as he is. They'd never be able to settle down in the life they lead. Which is why Marion left him.
But in this pursuit of the Great Circle, he lost his love, he lost his job, he lost a friend.
Indiana Jones is a character who continuously denied himself peace or love or anything. He constantly has to relive the same lesson over and over and over, and by 1969 we see this decision of obsession leave him with nothing.
Not even his friends are real. He doesn't even have control of his ending at an old age, he can't decide what... to be.
What are you when you chase your passion, and leave unhappy?
my last tier list update for a little bit, now that i have finished Investigations 1 & 2 !
i loved AAI2 so, so much. i think that it is probably the strongest game in the series so far when it comes to consistency of quality. especially when you take into account the over-arching conspiracy and how well it connects the threads of each case together. i already thought that AAI1 was particularly good at that, and this one fared even better. still probably not my personal favorite of the series, but it's high up there and i can easily see why it would be at the top for anyone else.
damn do i miss phoenix and the other absent cast though! that being said, i am probably going to take a longer break before i begin the apollo justice trilogy. this duology felt like an absolute gauntlet for me to make my way through, and as far as i know the games only continue to increase in scope so i wanna pace myself before diving into a journey that i am almost certain will be a hard one for me to put down. im also reconsidering my placement of wright vs layton. still might play it during the downtime, but i kinda want to play the other layton games first now that i really consider it.... so im also considering saving that one for closer to the end of my full series AA playthrough. we'll see! i know it's ultimately not canon so im just gonna follow my gut.
anyway thanks for followin my journey through these if you have been :)
I will say this for anyone looking to play Professor Layton Vs. Phoenix Wright. The beauty of the title is it's a great starting point for both of them, so you don't need prior Professor Layton knowledge or prior Phoenix Wright knowledge, as it does not spoil ANYTHING and it's not particularly hard.
The second thing you need to know is that the title is wrong. It's not "Professor Layton Vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney" It's "Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Vs. Professor Layton."
Professor Layton mysteries are grand and insane. Lemme afford you a fictional example of a Laytonesque Mystery: Professor Layton is sent a letter from his friend Cotton Eye Joe, who says that he is from an alternate reality called "Deez Nuts". This alternate reality is plagued by a mystery only Professor Layton can solve. Upon arriving the Professor & Luke investigate and uncover that, truly this Alternate Reality isn't truth at all, and is really a secret town hidden elsewhere. And Cotton Eye Joe simply LURED the Professor there and hit him with hallucinogenic gas so that way he could gain the fortune. THIS IS NOT A CRITIQUE, just explaining how it typically goes.
Now the Professor, is a calm collected true gentleman, who quickly puts together the mystery and arriving at the most insane conclusions without much resistance or trouble. We don't typically follow the Professor's perspective in the same way we don't follow Sherlock Holmes' perspective.
Contrast this with Phoenix Wright, who is a stubborn bitchy lawyer guy with a heart of gold who is trying to figure this out as it goes. We typically follow his perspective. As we typically follow Watson's perspective.
Phoenix Wright IS the protagonist of PLvsPWAA. We follow his thoughts, we help him solve the case, he tries to figure out and solve the insanity of a Professor Layton mystery. Whereas Professor Layton has pretty much figured it out and is assisting Mr. Wright at arriving at the same conclusion.
