Last year I put together a list of all video game related Heardle websites because it was next to impossible to find a list of them together on Google. This year I needed to do the same thing with Video Game related GeoGuessrs.

GeoGuessr is a game where you are given a photo and need to pinpoint it on the map. It's good fun and simple so because of that many gamers have applied the concept to various open world games and MMOs. In the link below you'll find a list of Video Game GeoGuessrs as well as links to their creators.

From the city of Los Santos in Grand Theft Auto V to the realms of Hyrule in Breath of the Wild. Test you video game world knowledge with these website!

The Good, The Bad, and the Worse: Five of Gaming’s Best Anti-Heroes

   If you thought “protagonist” meant “hero”, that the main character is always a morally-righteous goody-two-shoes, you might be in for a shock. There’s plenty of lead characters that are on the darker side of the moral spectrum. They can be anything from well-intentioned fighters with heavy flaws, all the way to plain awful people that happen to be up against even worse villains. Video games are an excellent medium to explore these conflicted characters, putting their actions in the hands of the player as their story plays out beyond your control. I’ve gathered a few particularly interesting examples of gaming’s most well-written anti-heroes and morally-grey protagonists, from reluctant monsters to ruthless criminals. Try not to get on their bad side.

Kratos (God of War series, 2010-2022)    Back in the day, Kratos’ unstoppable rage-fuelled god butchering could give Doomguy a run for his money - but once the dust has settled and the blood has dried, Kratos ultimately realises that his pantheon-murdering ways have left him hollow and lost. Moving up north to escape his violent past, the fourth game in the God of War series sees Kratos as an older and wiser man, harbouring plenty of grief and shame over his old life and wanting nothing more than to live out his days in peace. With his new young son Atreus, Kratos demonstrates an excellent level of character development as his motivation now lies solely in raising Atreus to be better than him, though the renewed godly interference from the Norse pantheon threatens to unleash the repressed rageful monster that still remains beneath Kratos’ cold exterior. Kratos is an impressive example of moving on from old ways and finding new beginnings, fighting not for vengeance but for protection.

Agent 47 (Hitman series, 2000-2021)    Assassination: it’s a dirty job, but someone’s gotta do it. At least, that’s how Agent 47 of the International Contract Agency (ICA) sees his role as the world’s deadliest hitman. A clone created from the DNA of history’s most dangerous criminals and trained in every kind of stealth and combat tactic imaginable, Agent 47 is the most dangerous man in any room he’s in. He’s capable of independent thought and morality, but he hides it well under his unchanging stoic demeanour. He never loses his cool, even during some of the more bizarre missions he’s occasionally sent on, and always speaks in a calm, monotonous manner, never betraying his true intentions for whatever unlucky individual that finds themselves in his crosshairs. His assigned targets are usually terrorists, gangsters, corrupt politicians, war criminals and the like, with his mysterious employers seeing him as a violent tool to rid the world of greater evil.

Arthur Morgan (Red Dead Redemption 2, 2018)    There’s no rest for the wicked, and Arthur Morgan is living proof. Struggling to survive the old western wilderness of Red Dead Redemption 2 with his gang, Arthur bears a generally friendly attitude that does little to hide the fact that he is undeniably a criminal, a killer and a thief. Arthur employs brutal methods to get what he wants, and it ultimately bites him in the ass when he catches a deathly illness after roughing up a harmless old debtor. Slowly dying, Arthur tries to atone for his ways, finding himself torn between loyalty to his boss and mentor Dutch van der Linde, and his attempts to find a better future for the other members of the gang. Arthur demonstrates that the free-living life of a wild west outlaw is far from glamorous, constantly fighting for what barely counts as survival in a world where the age of outlaws like himself draws to a close.

Joel Miller (The Last of Us, 2014)    Being the lead character in a zombie apocalypse story doesn’t exactly lend itself well to being a paragon of morality - Joel is a prime example of a hardened survivor willing to do whatever it takes to get through each day. After losing his daughter at the beginning of the zombie outbreak, Joel ends up a cold, selfish, hardened killer, which helps him survive the horrors of the dangerous new world. Once he is hired to protect a young girl named Ellie, he slowly starts to soften up as Ellie reminds him of his late daughter; but this ultimately leads to the most selfish decision of his life: when it turns out that Ellie possesses a possible cure for the zombie infection, Joel refuses to sacrifice her to save humanity, not wanting to lose another “daughter”. He may be the game’s protagonist, but a hero Joel is not.

Trevor Phillips (Grand Theft Auto 5, 2013)    As straightforward heroic characters become rarer in favour of more questionably-moral characters, you might start wondering if you’re playing as a villain who’s just as bad as the actual antagonists. Then you play as Trevor Phillips, and you stop wondering. The most violent and unstable character in the Grand Theft Auto series, Trevor is all the fun of video game death and destruction rolled into a single murderous crackhead. While the game hints that his abusive and traumatic upbringing might explain his current behaviour, it sure as hell doesn’t excuse it. The only thing marking Trevor as a protagonist is the fact that he’s playable, and that many of his unfortunate victims are equally-despicable thugs that happen to be in his way. He’s surprisingly loyal to his “friends” (even if they’re terrified of him) and feels genuinely hurt and betrayed if they turn on him, but it doesn’t quite hide just how dangerous this relentless killer is.

   That brings an end to this peek into the growing grey area between good and evil. Morally-ambiguous heroes are on the rise, and one day it might be too hard to even tell the difference! I hope you enjoyed - reblogs and likes are much appreciated! Thanks for reading!

Crazy tow truck guy. 🛻

So, what can we learn from this?

I just kind of wanted to see this all in one place after seeing it on a few places across social media. I hate to take enjoyment out of someone else’s misery, but this is wild. I wish I was at all adept at video editing because this deserves some kind of supercut. At first glance, it seems to be a truck getting repo’ed and the repo driver has gone batshit nuts. Upon what amounts to “research” on…
