Trubbish, the literal trash bag Pokémon, can be found in alleys and around other areas where trash is discarded. A lot of the time, when you see one of these smelly little dudes lounging around, nearby humans are complaining about how they smell bad and they want them gone. So when you do actually get around to catching one of these poison-type Pokémon, an adorable but sad interaction occurs.

And the features - wow! What a treat to have Tony Davis' perspective in such a balanced piece (" Dried out in Phoenix "), giving us not only up-to-the minute news but sorely needed context - history, politics, the law - along with a view from the desert floor. He painted a picture (with the help of wonderful photographs) of those isolated suburban areas I won't soon forget.

Like the original game, Silent Hill f sends players to an "abandoned" school during its protagonist's attempts to escape the horrors of the fog. And similar to the original, the halls and classrooms of the school are adorned with everything you'd expect to find in an institution of learning: posters, calendars, lockers, bookshelves, cubbies; you name it, it's there. That includes a bit of simple sheet music that many are likely to overlook as just part of the set dressing.
