Elmo (yes, the character from ‘Sesame Street’) has had the worst week of his life after receiving a beating on television

Wow! Elmo is happy he asked! Elmo has learned that it’s important to ask a friend how they are.

Elmo was born in 1980 as part of the supporting cast of ‘Sesame Street’, but gradually gained popularity to the point of practically surpassing any other character on the children’s show in plush toys, affection, nostalgia, and love. Over the years, the muppet has had his quarrels with pet rocks (it’s a long story) and has even had the last five minutes of the show all to himself. All for Elmo. Until now.

Elmo’s mental health

And the Muppet has had two very crazy moments this week that no one saw coming. The first one has to do with a tweet in which he wrote, from Sesame Street, “Elmo is checking! How is everyone doing?”. The responses were not long in coming and soon people from all over the world started sharing their mental health problems with a furry monster. “Every morning, I can’t wait to go back to sleep. Every Monday, I can’t wait for Friday to come” was one of the most retweeted. In the end, Elmo concluded with a “Wow! Elmo is glad he asked! Elmo has learned that it is important to ask a friend how they are“. Well saved by his social media team. But.

That same week, Elmo went to ‘Today’, the legendary morning show on NBC, to talk about mental health. At that moment, Larry David (co-creator of ‘Seinfeld’) appeared out of nowhere to throw a couple of punches saying, “Someone had to do it!”. Apparently, the writer and actor, who is preparing for the premiere of the last season of ‘Curb your enthusiasm’, couldn’t stand to hear any more about mental health and decided to break Elmo. Maybe it’s time for us to ask him how he’s doing. That’s what friends do, right?

Gaming’s Most Unexpected Hit: Sesame Street Collides with Resident Evil in Must-Play Title

If you like survival horror, or if you like the idea of mixing Sesame Street with Resident Evil, you’ll love this game by John and Evan Szymanski

Who doesn’t like The Muppetts and Sesame Street? That gentle, witty, sweet, but not pastel tone, where things are treated with intelligence, humor and affection, treating children and not so children as beings capable of thinking and not as idiots. Maybe that’s why horror games that present us with adorable pets that turn out to be monsters that want to eat our faces have been so popular for years. They’re scary, but not too scary, they appeal to our nostalgia and, moreover, they scratch at that same point that those couple of masterpieces that so many different generations have grown up with do.

That’s why it was only a matter of time before someone was more explicitly inspired by both. And while they were at it, what if instead of making a horror game, they made a survival horror in the style of Resident Evil or Silent Hill? That’s what John and Evan Szymanski must have thought and the result was My Friendly Neighborhood.

The premise of the game is simple. We are Gordon, a handyman who must enter an old building where the My Friendly Neighborhood show – a sort of Sesame Street that, after being cancelled a month earlier due to a horrible act of cannibalism among dolls, has started rebroadcasting old episodes directly to local TV sets. We wander in there to see what’s going on with the antenna only to discover that, to the surprise of no one reading this, our friendly neighbors may be our neighbors, but they are not friendly, and just as they were cancelled for devouring each other, they have now decided that it sounds like a better plan to devour us.

Our duty is simple: get them to stop broadcasting episodes and run away from there. To do it without getting eaten, not so much. With survival horror mechanics in the style of Resident Evil 4, we have limited ammunition, a character that moves relatively slowly and slowly, an inventory with a limited amount of space that we will have to manage and some dolls that, besides being extremely convincing in their cuteness -they could be real puppets from a Saturday morning show-, resist more shots than we could expect in the first instance. Advantages of not being made of flesh and blood.

The game was released last July 18 and is available on Steam. With very positive reviews and starting to attract the attention of the public, this is a game that will delight fans of games like Five Nights At Freddy’s as well as the more classic style of games like Resident Evil. A real gem that could go unnoticed, but you should jump headlong into playing it.
