That was going to be my answer too. I had the misfortune of reading that during a lunch break at work. I don't remember what I was eating, but I know I didn't finish.

If it's any consolation, it was in Super Mario World only 20 years ago.

TNG_S8 is one of the best Twitter accounts ever.

Seiken Densetsu 3 is incredible, probably in my top 5 games ever. Easily the high-water mark of the Mana series, which makes it all the worse that it's the only Mana game to never be officially released outside of Japan (though the translated ROM is more than acceptable). I recently went through it with a…

That is true about Final Fantasy being directly influenced by D&D. Many of the enemies in FF1 are basically taken verbatim from D&D.

Now you know …… the REST of the story.

I think it's safe to say that the last thing I expected to see in a Newswire item about Star Trek was a WeeklyTubeShow firstie, but that shit is seriously hilarious. Everyone go to that channel RIGHT NOW and watch all the Rapeman parodies and everything with "Piccolo" in the title RIGHT NOW (not kidding, do it RIGHT…

Well, to be fair, it is like the king of planets.

Beat Seiken Densetsu 3 for the first time, which made me realize why I often drop games (especially RPGs) right before the endgame and then never pick them back up: I hate seeing good games end. I didn't realize how much I enjoyed being with those characters until I'd taken down the final boss and everything was being…

Ahhh, Biastioc. Those were good times. I have a couple of his posts saved in a Word document, which I had started doing because at a certain point they started becoming just transcendent in their awesomeness and hilarity and I thought a collection of his material might someday make the basis of an excellent short…

Agreed with all of the above except the Rush tape being optional.

that 8-bit Laurel Canyon sound

I came along a little later than the Atari generation. How to Win at Super Mario Bros. Games by Jeff Rovin was my joint.

Also, the main character should be a writer with arthritis, and there should also be a dog who symbolizes man's ultimate triumph over his baser instincts.

Hey, not all of them have meat. Some are full of cheese and flaky crust.

"Magnamammophile". What a brilliant word.

Over the Top needs a defensive article way more than Demolition Man does. It's so ridiculous, I can't help but love it.

I don't know anyone who thinks this movie is bad or mediocre. It's just not ever fresh on the mind. But if I bring it up to someone and they've seen it, they always remember it fondly and can remember several details about it.

That Star Wars panel took me back something powerful. When the special editions came out in theaters in '97 or whenever it was, my brother and I got a Star Wars Cracked with parodies of the whole trilogy. The one thing that stuck with me the most was Elmo as Emperor Palpatine; to this day, we still say "Teehee! Murder…

He was also the big dog in 2 Stupid Dogs. Excellent cartoon.
