McPixel 3
''McPixel 3'' is a puzzle video game developed by Mikołaj "Sos Sosowski" Kamiński and produced by Devolver Digital. It is the sequel to the 2012 game '' McPixel''. Gameplay ''McPixel 3'' is a point and click adventure game centered around the titular pixelated character McPixel, a parody of MacGyver, who is tasked with the objective of "saving the day" by using objects and finding solutions in the environment around them. As in the previous game, puzzle solutions are often absurdist and nonsensical, forcing the player to interact with and combine objects using trial and error to see what happens. McPixel interacts with most objects and people by kicking them, which can be either helpful or a problem depending on the situation. Similar to its prequel, there are 100 timed levels to complete with over 20 microgames, more than 900 gags, and 1,500 interactive items for players to experience. Development and release ''McPixel 3'' was officially announced via Twitter by Devolv ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
McPixel
''McPixel'' is an independently produced puzzle video game by Polish developer Mikołaj Kamiński (also known as Sos Sosowski) in 2012. Gameplay The game centers around the title character, McPixel, who is a parody of both the television character MacGyver and the ''Saturday Night Live'' character MacGruber, which itself was a parody of the former. The game features numerous references to popular culture characters. McPixel's objective in the game is to defuse bombs or "save the day" in 20 seconds each level. There are four chapters in the game, each with three levels and an unlockable level. Each level contains six sequences. The puzzle solutions are often absurdist and nonsensical, using cartoon-style physics and logic; typical interactions with people and objects involve McPixel kicking them, and directly kicking the bomb often causes it to explode. In one level, to stop a fire from reaching a bomb, the player may have to get McPixel to urinate on it; in another level, McPixel m ...

2022 Video Games
In the video game industry, 2022 saw the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry, slowing hardware sales for most of the year as well as development delays for major titles. The industry continued its trend of acquisitions and mergers, highlighted by Microsoft announcing its plan to acquire Activision Blizzard for nearly $69 billion. The industry as a whole continued to deal with issues such as workplace harassment and discrimination, alongside crunch periods, leading to at least the quality assurance staff at three separate studios to vote to unionize. Production of the ninth-generation consoles, the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, remained constrained for the first part of the year, but eased up later in the year. New hardware trends included the widespread availability of graphics cards with real-time ray tracing, and the release of the Steam Deck by Valve, a handheld personal computing device capable of playing most games available on Steam.

Single-player Video Games
A single-player video game is a video game where input from only one player is expected throughout the gameplay. Video games in general can feature several game modes, including single-player modes designed to be played by a single player in addition to multi-player modes. Most modern console games, PC games and arcade games are designed so that they can be played by a single player; although many of these games have modes that allow two or more players to play (not necessarily simultaneously), very few actually require more than one player for the game to be played. The '' Unreal Tournament'' series is one example of such. History The earliest video games, such as '' Tennis for Two'' (1958), '' Spacewar!'' (1962), and '' Pong'' (1972), were symmetrical games designed to be played by two players. Single-player games gained popularity only after this, with early titles such as '' Speed Race'' (1974) and '' Space Invaders'' (1978). The reason for this, according to Raph Ko ...

Definition The term ''retro'' has been in use since 1972 to describe on the one hand, new artifacts that self-consciously refer to particular modes, motifs, techniques, and materials of the past.Dermody, Breathnach 2009, p. 7 But on the other hand, many people use the term to categorize styles that have been created in the past.Baker 2012, p. 622 Retro style refers to new things that display characteristics of the past. Unlike the historicism of the Romantic generations, it is mostly the recent past that retro seeks to recapitulate, focusing on the products, fashions, and artistic styles produced since the Industrial Revolution, the successive styles of Modernity.

Point and click are one of the actions of a computer user moving a pointer (computing WIMP), pointer to a certain location on a Visual display unit, screen (''pointing'') and then pressing a button on a Computer mouse, mouse or other pointing device (''click'').

Parody Video Games
A parody is a creative work designed to imitate, comment on, and/or mock its subject by means of satirical or ironic imitation. Often its subject is an original work or some aspect of it (theme/content, author, style, etc), but a parody can also be about a real-life person (e.g. a politician), event, or movement (e.g. the French Revolution or 1960s counterculture). Literary scholar Professor Simon Dentith defines parody as "any cultural practice which provides a relatively polemical allusive imitation of another cultural production or practice". The literary theorist Linda Hutcheon said "parody ... is imitation, not always at the expense of the parodied text." Parody may be found in art or culture, including literature, music, theater, television and film, animation, and gaming. The writer and critic John Gross observes in his ''Oxford Book of Parodies'', that parody seems to flourish on territory somewhere between pastiche ("a composition in another artist's manner, without sat ...
