Bad Week?
You know those weeks where it feels like nothing goes right? The week of September 22nd was that week for entertainment. Below are just a few of the disappointments that happened.
Mario Kart for mobile was released to the excitement of many people. Too many people. Mario Kart for mobile is a free game in which players can compete with each other on their mobile devices, and people naturally swarm to it. On the first day of release, so many people played that the servers crashed. Nintendo was exposed and unprepared. The final nail in the game’s coffin is that the optional paid subscription adds no value. The $4.99 monthly charge provides only badges and extra accessories.
Kentucky Fried Chicken dropped its dating simulator, I Love You, Colonel Sanders! A Finger Lickin’ Good Dating Simulator. Yes, that is a real thing. You can actually date the Colonel in this game. This is KFC’s most creative strategy yet to sell more food, and it’s a horrible idea. I can’t wait for the Chick-fil-a RPG and Popeye’s survival horror game!
Kayne West was supposed to drop his latest album, Jesus Is King, but the release was delayed beyond the initial Sept. 27 release date. He has never been good at releasing his albums on time. His album was what I was most looking forward to this week, and its delay was a big disappointment. Kim Kardashian, who first posted the tracklist and release date, announced that the album would be released as of Sept. 26. That never happened.
DC Universe released a new episode of Titans, the show that continues to disappoint. The first season of Titans was really good, but this season is weak so far. The new episode continues to let fans down by mishandling characters. These are just a few of the standout recent events. Eventually, when Nintendo gets it together and when Kayne releases the album, we will be blessed.
