You’ll be categorically catatonic
At the catalogue of categories I have at my hands!

The very model of a modern major general store!

BUT THE FACT IS EVERYBODY'S GOTTA HAVE IT, GOTTA HAVE IT
THOSE WHO HAVE IT REALLY HAVE IT

SO YOU'RE MANICALLY GRABBING AT THE SHELVES AMID THE PANIC
SEEMS THAT EVERYBODY HAS IT, MAN YOU REALLY GOTTA HAVE IT
SO YOU GET IT, YOU'RE ECSTATIC, BUT A CRACKLE IN THE STATIC
AND THE IT IS OUT OF FASHION, JUST A FAD, A PIECE OF PLASTIC
SO YOU TRASH IT THEN YOU GET BACK IN YOUR CAR
COS YOU DON'T HAVE IT
AND THE FACT IS EVERYBODY'S GOTTA HAVE IT, GOTTA HAVE IT
THOSE WHO HAVE IT REALLY HAVE IT
IF YOU HAVEN'T, WELL YOU'VE HAD IT, COULDN'T HACK IT

AND THE HAVES ARE VERY GLAD ITS

[[Hochi Mama]] WHAT A MOUTHFULL!!!

THERE'S DEALS TO BE MADE WITH [[Seasonal Savings]]!!
REGIONAL RATINGS ARE LETHALLY FADING
SCREAMING AND RAVING, CEASELESS APPRAISING
[Neat little plate with a needless engraving]
LEGALLY GREY BUT SWEET WITH THE PHRASING
FEET IN THE GRAVE BUT GLEEFULLY TRADING
FEEDING THE CRAVINGS, EAT [[Little Plaything]]

HYPERLINK BLOCKED

    The Apex (Hitman 3
There's a shape within the shadows
There's a chill up in the air.
No, your status doesn't matter
Empty will or billionaire.
In a palace or a manor
Manned with killers at your care.
If you're penciled within his planner
Chance is he's already there.
Perhaps that new butler who walked past your henchman
And brandished the tumbler of port no one questioned?
So hand in your number, report into heaven
Those passes when punched, well, they're all 47.

     Chairman of the Board 

Clue verse:

I thank you all for coming this evening. I hear the traffic was murder...
I suppose you're wondering
why I've gathered you all here tonight

A murder has occured
and I'll be first to shed some light
Now mister Black is on the ground,
a victim of a crime most foul
I put to you that here and now
within this crumbling country house
Amongst this strange and sundry crowd
a murderer is on the prowl
Leave it to me to tell you how
This heinous deed was carried out

This melting pot has overboiled
Look out, you'll get your loafers soiled
I've a dastard foe to foil
and I'm not half a Conan-Doyle

I'll tackle the clues through this gaggle of rooms
There's no slacking to do when I'm tracking the truth
I'm an accurate sleuth with immaculate proof
I investigate better than Agatha could
Did the blaggard attack with a candle or noose?
Or was it the spanner he actually used?
This manor is packed with all manner of tools
(Although Hasbro has had the hatchet removed)

For enacting a plan for dispatching a fool
the plan that was hatched was both heartless and cruel
In the garden, the pantry, the parlor, the pool!
(The rooms will depend on the board that you use)

Hold it, I've solved it! I know for certain that the culprit
Used the Colonel's old revolver
stolen from the drawer that holds it
In the kitchen, finger itching
on the trigger, chamber loaded
and I say, I want it noted
Reverend Green's the one who pulled it!

But I've got the gun?
And I've got that scene?

Which instantly vindicates poor mister Green
But with all that is left on the board it would seem
to infer that the murderer must have been ME!

Oh dear...
It appears I've made a
grave mistake...

Monopoly verse:

Right then! Game's night, everyone! What's up first?
I know what my money's on...

If you're into causing a family schism
consider some tabletop capitalism
A battle of balances, man I'm so talented
Mopping up profits with Randian callousness

Isn't much use for financial analysis
Banks are all froze in the throes of paralysis
Golly, it's very nice
Crushing the parasites
Man, I'm in paradise
Give me a pair of dice

I hold'em, I blow'em, I roll'em
I'm strolling my token right over the go
And I'm folding the dough
then I'm throwing down homes
On my portfolio
My monopoly grows
You won't topple me no

I'm a polished demolisher
dropping hotels right on top of my foes
If you're stopping your boat on my property, know
That it's probably, honestly gonna be more than
the cost of the whole of the global economy
So you should just stop and just offer me
All of your keys and your dog.

Well you could call it a robbery
You can't afford an apology
All your accountants would flounder and wobble
The top of my profits would boggle a monrachy

Stopping me? Ha! Take me to court
All that I'm making I'm taking abroad
(It's tucked under the board)
So send me to jail and then
pay of my bail with your rent
Have you thought about
having your assets absorbed?

Extorting the poor whilst cutting the cord
At community beauty awards
You pitifully bid in futility
I've got the roads and the rails and utilities
So bring the waterworks
Your tears will oil the gears of my infamy!

Kid in the living room, sat on the floor
Imagining I'm on the cover of Forbes
I'm turning this city upside down
Which really amounts to you flipping the board

Now, I know nobody likes a loot box economy
But I think we can all agree on a Community Chest?
Hm?

     The Data Stream (Cyberpunk 2077
We're the light in your screens
we're the lead in your veins
then you wake from your dreams so we can sell them again.
In the light we distract with the shiny and new
So you're blind to the fact that the product is you.
So let your brain dance and replay the dream, but
don't drown in the data stream
'Cause we see where you are and we see where you go
'Cause we know what you own and we own what you know.

     Fiend Like Me (Evil Genius 2
If all the world's a stage, then I shall play my part
You may say it's cliché, but I say that it's an art
Every deck needs a knave to come and stack the cards
The world may be yours to save, but it's mine to tear apart
One button's all it takes to set the Earth a-quaking
Or is the world afraid and the planet started shaking?
You'd need tectonic plates to serve the schemes I'm baking
And the menu for today is some world domination!

I'm the meanest genius scheme unfurler
Genus steeped in burglars, murderers
Fiend Weekly's champ moustache twirler
I cheated, I used curlers

     The Fine Print (The Outer Worlds
Oh, honestly, did you not read the colony policy?
That defines you as company property?
That waivers your say in autonomy?
The conglomerate's got you in lock and key
We put the dollar back into idolatry
If you're upset, you can rent an apology
We are a family forged in bureaucracy
No "I" in "team, " but there's "con" in "economy"

We work. To earn the right to work.
To earn the right to work.
To earn the right to work.
To earn the right to work.
To earn the right to give
Ourselves the rights to buy
Ourselves the right to live
To earn the right to die.

And you’ll be grateful for seats at the table
Though it dips at one end and the bench is unstable
You may waste your days but at least you were able
To pay off your grave since we leased you your cradle.

You should have read the fine print, my friend
Should have read the fine print
You should have read the fine print, my friend
Should have read the fine print

     Fragments (Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart
The world's what you make it
Your fate's not ingrained
Every crack in the paint's
Still a piece of the picture.

Where dimensions fragment
And the shards reconnect
You'll find you're not defined
By the past they reflect.
Leaving one world behind
Can be hard to expect
But you'll work out in time
A new path in the next.

     The House Always Wins (Fallout: New Vegas
You want to see the profits of democracy? Then go and see 'em
Across the street a bunch of freaks are playing Colosseum
Honestly? Was the world you wanted what you got to see?
When you were dropping crosses into boxes behind polling screens?
Was dropping bombs your chosen option? Did you vote for screams?
Was the apocalypse your politician's policy?
Did you put stock in their prepostering and prophecy?
A shining future built on squabble-free equality?

That every day you'd get your plate of steak and collard greens?
The human race was capable of anything but wanton greed?
But now that world is gone and what lived on belongs to me
That freedom you so wanted's now the cost of living comfortably

     An Imposter Calls (Among Us

     Nook, Line and Sinker (Animal Crossing: New Horizons
You buy land at high deposit
when I drop profitable hovels on it
Each island is like a wallet
cus I got the whole place in my pocket
You crank the land value with every little bit of spit and polish
If I get a better tenant than you, well thank you, everything's demolished!

Tom Nook here; yes, yes, I'm from Yorkshire, don't question it.

     No One's Home (Beholder 3

     Open The Sky (Stray
All our thoughts, all we feel?
Ones and noughts trapped in steel?
Something more, something real?
Threaded code caught in a wheel
That spins an algorithmic tapestry
Of what it thinks we have to be
A Frankenstein of fragments
Fractal pattern personalities

     Pictures of Spider-Man (Spider-Man PS4
The fact is, the impact of this damned arachnid
Can be tracked back to the day that he landed!
Donned a mask, so the bad guys adapted!
Menageries of madmen
HE manufactured!

     A Purpose For New London (Frostpunk
Morning Gathering or Evening Prayer
We still battle for a season fair
We still huddle in the freezing air
For a summer that's not even there
If that sun won't rise on our horizon
We'll march on to spite the skies
And find that wheel of progress so well worn
Brought us no shelter from the storm
— (With Dan Bull)

     Rest Employed (Death And Taxes
One-fifty one-thousand six-hundred people die
Every day on Earth.
And if that's not a reason to cry
Well, it's an awful lot of paperwork.

Everything living has to die
But to die you need not apply
We'll find you
When your time's through
Take a number, wait in line
Live your life and we'll be right behind you
Nothing's certain but death and taxes
So I guess you'd better get some practice
Nothing's certain but death and taxes
So I guess you'd better
So I guess you'd better

     The Second (Hitman 2
You can tighten violence by refining the appliance of it
Open up your eyes to find the sight of an appliance dropping
Right into the bath without a chance to even try and stop it
Blur behind the curtain
And it's curtains on your crime biopic

No-one ever recalls the second the first come across 47
because if you've drawn a breath in 47's got you on the floor forgetting.
If you could only pause a second
Can't stall destiny, halt what's meant to be
No protection, we all get reckoned, the cause of death will be 47.

     Shelter From the Storm (Frostpunk
Heave lads, ho lads
Forget the comforts of home, you're a nomad
We've lost so much since we first started,
Are our hearts cold or are we cold hearted?
So pray to your lord or your foreman
That the sun might rise in the mornin'
They told us Hell was warm
But our empire fell for shelter from the storm

So burn us in the furnace
Let our souls ignite the flame
Use our bones to stoke the embers
Use our blood to oil the chains
We are nothing now but engines
Rending flesh to find a way
And as we fall, we know we die
To light a brighter day
Every shiver will deliver us deliverance in time
Burn the incense of our innocence
and in a sense we thrive
Pray the future that we're building
Will be worth its weight in lives
So take heed, but take no pity

     Shine Through (Life Is Strange: True Colors

     Slide Into the Void (Control
At the edge of understanding
The border of the known
The breaking point of reason
Where logic is dethroned
Where sense is defenceless
And festers on the bone
You'll find entropy's offensive is rendered in the stone

Prison for the isn't sitting hinged within a schism
Of half-reflected architecture, dark unending prisms
Part objective, part conjecture partnered with tradition
Where the paperwork is worshipped and the rituals are written.

     Tune Into the Madness (Little Nightmares II
Oh, look who's come for tea, are you sitting comfortably?
All of the children better sit still then
‘Cause when little kiddies fidget then I kill them

With a saviour clad in a paper bag
That must be one ugly child

Gaze into the space between the pixels on the screen
There, you'll see a place between the signal and the screams
Feel the oscillation of the crystal in your dreams
Just switch off your brain and let it sizzle in the beams
—(All with Dan Bull)

     Why Did I Say Okie Doki? (Doki Doki Literature Club

     Way Deeper Down (Undertale
So, you took a little fall? Do you think you've got the gall to survive extermination?
Trapped deep bellow and all you've got to show is your determination
There's no tu-Toriel it's Asgore-y as can be!
Will the weights of your sins leave you Snowdin?
There's no mercy!
