Happy (belated) Pi Day, fellow gamers and foodies! While March 14th may have passed, the celebration of all things pie (both mathematical and edible) continues here. And what better way to celebrate than by diving into the delicious – and sometimes questionable – world of Video game pies? So, grab a fork (or a controller) and let's dig in!
Shocking Video Game Pies: Which are Delicious, and...
First up, we have the humble, yet impressive, apple pie from *The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild*. This isn't some pixelated mess; it's a lovingly rendered, almost photorealistic creation. The ingredient list is spot-on too: apples, cane sugar, goat butter, and Tabantha wheat. It just *feels* right. Plus, the satisfaction of gathering all those ingredients yourself? Chef's kiss. Best rating? Absolutely. I actually spent a good chunk of time just wandering around Hyrule finding the best apples, just for that pie. Worth it.
Now, let's talk about *Final Fantasy XV* and Ignis's… Horntooth Meat Pie. Look, I love Ignis. He's the responsible friend we all need on a road trip. But this pie? No. Just no. The very *idea* of Horntooth meat is unsettling, and the in-game model doesn’t exactly scream “delicious.” Sorry, Ignis, but this one's a hard pass. Worst rating, no question. I'd rather eat canned beans on the side of the road.
Then there's the legendary Perfectly Preserved Pie from *Fallout 4*. In a post-apocalyptic wasteland filled with radiation and mutated creatures, finding a pristine pie is practically a religious experience. Mel might be skeptical, but honestly, who cares if it's been sitting there for 200 years? It’s a symbol of hope, a beacon of pre-war decadence. Best rating, hands down. I’d risk a few extra rads for a slice. Plus, the sheer luck involved in finding one makes it that much more rewarding.
Let's lighten things up with a bit of absurdity. Bonker, the clown from *Clayfighter*, uses pies as weapons. Pure genius! In a fighting game dominated by fireballs and super punches, Bonker’s pie-based assault is a breath of fresh air (or maybe a face full of cream). Best rating, simply for originality and sheer comedic value. Bring back Bonker!
Speaking of pie-wielding clowns, the Joker from *Injustice: Gods Among Us* also utilizes the pastry as a distraction. However, his method is a tad… less playful. He uses it to set up brutal crowbar attacks. Look, I appreciate a good villain, but the Joker's pie routine feels like a cheap imitation of Bonker's artistry. And let's be honest, he's just using it as a stepping stone to something far more sinister. Worst rating. The Joker just can't appreciate a good pie for what it is.
Finally, we have the… unfortunate situation in *Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee*. While not specifically a pie-based scenario at first, Abe's initial excitement over the prospect of Paramite Pie quickly turns to horror when he realizes *he* is next on the menu. While the pie itself isn't the central focus, the ethical implications and Abe's subsequent revolt earn this a kind of… cautionary best rating? Maybe? It's complicated.
