This entire article seems like a very valid metaphor of my trying to make it through work today.

Haha right! I should get to test this soon. :)

I’m going to be honest: I thought they spoke Japanese.

They’re using the fictional language from the games in the anime, as well. :D

Aww man DKR, I know Mario Kart came out earlier but this game blew it out of the water and some of it’s mechanics were used in later MK games like different vehicles.

This may be the greatest article I’ve read all year.

“MY NAME’S KRUNCH!”

Man I miss this game :(, but I never used Krunch.

THUMPER gives me serious anxiety... and I LOVE it. It’s almost painful when you fail, and the satisfaction when you succeed is insane, especially in the later levels...

For me, Thumper taking the rhythm game and making a truly surreal industrial oppressive frightening experience of it was a really nice surprise.

Good list though, wasn’t complaining. :)

Textra is by far the best. It’s polished and constantly updates with new features (it had the iOS “big emoji” look only days after the Apple conference). I love the quick reply box, with options for texting later, replying in different ways, etc. The GIF keyboard and the ability to take pics directly in the app are…

One of the enjoyment of buying a used cartridge is seeing people’s saved games. It was always very hard for me to delete someone’s game but I always left one or two saves untouched.

How I’ve missed the anthropomorphized-animal based platformers.

Do Christmas gifts to yourself count? If so, I got myself something to get me back into music as I’ve neglected it the past few years.

I’ve always been curious about Dream and it’s eventual transformation into Banjo-Kazooie. It’s really cool to finally see some gameplay depicting that transition.

An early copy of Banjo Tooie where Stop N’ Swop actually works. ;-;
