Waypoint Weekend: A Gamers' Guide to Halloween Fun

In a move that's sure to delight gamers of all levels, the Week 40 episode of Waypoint Weekend is finally here – and it promises to be an unforgettable one.

For Chris Plante, the host of this popular gaming series, this weekend means putting in some quality time with beloved franchises like MLB: The Show. Plante will be immersing himself in the world of baseball, working towards a Road to the Show pitcher's milestone achievements and aiming for a perfect season with his virtual team.

However, not all is doom and gloom in Plante's gaming plans. On Sunday, he'll be setting his sights on classic psychological thriller Death Note, diving into its mind-bending world and getting ready for a thrilling experience.

But before that, Plante will put the pedal to the metal with an NFL showdown between the NFC East-leading Eagles and the Rams on Sunday Night Football. Expect some high-flying action as these two powerhouse teams clash in what promises to be an intense matchup.

On a separate note, Plante has been itching to try his hand at horror games all season long, but it seems like this will be prime time. Social media is abuzz with MOUTHWASHING enthusiasm, leading PLante to dive headfirst into the depths of social anxiety in order to cleanse his palate from other, more relaxing experiences.

The latest title to catch Plante's eye? CRITICAL REFLEX, of course! What makes this one stand out? Well, let's just say it checks every box needed for an expert gamer. From atmospheric soundtracks to intricate gameplay mechanics, PLante has a hunch that his adrenaline levels will never dip too low with this experience.

To top things off, Chris Plante found the opportunity to dabble into something that isn't STALKER 2 or Baldur's Gate 3, namely, ALAN WAKE. A story-packed action-adventure game with well-crafted twists and turns – Alan Wake is an experience that even seasoned gamers need every now and then.

This weekend promises more of exactly what you can get used to from the crew: gaming goodness across multiple genres. Don't let the Halloween spirit get to you, keep it on your toes as we uncover a whole lot of this weekend's plans by doing so!
