Ha! Glad that you caught that; I even pulled up that photo and ran around different parts of New Donk City to try and make it look as close as possible.

The first thing that comes to mind was finding a secret room in Duke Nukem 3D with the corpse of the space marine from Doom. They redrew the sprite (based off a specific frame of the character’s death animation), and Duke’s quip of “That’s one doomed space marine,” doesn’t violate any copyrights either, but it was…

I think that’s true, but at least for the Anonymous folks I was around, they do NOT like it when you say it like that.

THAT EQUALS TRUE.

ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD

Breath of the Wild looked cool but hot damn if Super Mario Odyssey isn’t going to be what gets me to knock over an old lady on Black Friday for a Nintendo Switch.

Super Mario Odyssey is still claiming my heart. I got to the final area earlier this week, and I’ll have to push through and beat it. It’s pretty brutal, though. I also ran around for a bit getting some goofy and wild screenshots of the game. Its snapshot function is incredible. I love how much emotion you can…

Yes, Discord is, to me, the best form of small-group communication we’ve had since the pre-bot days of IRC. Our group is as scintillating as they are here, and I love how scalable the intrusion level is for your life.

Our Discord page is hip, it’s happening, and it’s got humor and heart!

I feel ya. I wander a lot in games, and it takes me forever to beat them. A single playthrough of Dragon Age: Inquisition including DLC took me 150 hours.

Wolfman again nailing the identity of the Mario series better than anyone else. We are so lucky to have him here!

It would be a shame for the big-budget 2D platformer to go the way of the dinosaur. The new Bubsy game is reportedly garbage, and it’s been a few years since the last Rayman game.

For that age group, Mario. I have both, they are amazing, but Mario is easier for kids to run around and be rewarded without being any good at the game.

It technically does. The currency on the moon is star bits just like in Galaxy, and I know the Dark Side has an 8-bit Rosalina easter egg.

On one of the little outlying islands in the lava (if I remember correctly, the one where the challenge is to buttstomp down all the cracked places in the floor while dodging the rolling peppers), there’s a path that goes around in back of the island. The painting is there.

Yeah, when Bowser appeared on a way-too-realistic-for-a-Mario-game dragon, I just said “Well, this took a turn.” I wish that were a bigger kingdom because it was so wildly different than anything else in a Mario game.

Yup, I’ve pretty much given up on horror games (especially ones longer than a few hours) because I’ve come to terms with the fact that I’m a big ol’ wimp. They typically descend, quite rapidly, to a point where I just don’t want to go through some door to experience the next terrifying thing, and then I just never…
