I wasn’t joking. I have no clue what it is.

Having suffered through Sharkboy and Lavagirl because my younger sister briefly became obsessed with it, I can confirm that they are not siblings. Their backgrounds are completely unrelated, so there are no incesty undertones here at least.

It’s a full blown sequel. I didn’t buy it myself because I have no one to play it with right now. It does have a very simple story mode, apparently, but I agree that it’s nowhere near a full Kirby adventure.

I think that Galaxy’s main advantage in its ice levels is in the skating mechanic. Instead of just altering the controls in a way that makes it feel like it is taking control away from the player, it also gives you increased speed as an offset. It makes it a fun challenge and change of pace instead of a punishment, as…

I agree with the Kirby game statement, but a Kirby game did technically release this year (although it is a fighting game and not a platformer, so if you meant Kirby platformer I 100% agree with you).

Wait, isn’t Rowling Gen X? I realize that this is nitpicking and does not negate your point, but it doesn’t mean a criticism shouldn’t be accurate.

If you read or watch some of the expanded material (some of which isn’t canon anymore), there are force users not allied with either the Jedi or Sith. I believe there are even some, like Ahsoka, who try to thread a needle between the Light and Dark sides. Plus there is some indication that the Jedi’s rules for…

Wait, Psychonauts was originally going to be darker? I’ve just started playing it on Steam for the first time, and my first impression was about how twisted, unhinged, and unsettling the game felt. That was them toning it down?

2D platformers have been quite popular in the indie scene for a while now after a long period of being quiet due to the 3D craze, but they’re still not the most popular genre. 3D platformers were practically dead for a while at the advent of the Wii/360/PS3 generation with the exception of Mario and Sonic, but they…

They did at least re-release it recently on Steam and Switch. I believe that THQ-Nordic has the rights, so if you want to know who to pester, it would be them.

How can you bring up terrible and mediocre SNES/Genesis era mascot platformers and not bring up the King of the subgenre, Bubsy the Bobcat, quite possibly the worst long-running video game franchise of all time?

I have genuinely never heard of this before.

I would also argue only using covers as a measure of a song’s longevity is a bizarrely arbitrary metric. It is a form of longevity, certainly, but it’s not the only one, and you can have classics that are rarely covered for a variety of reasons (technical difficulty, complexity, the original version is by an artist…

I’m pretty sure she is aware that it has been going on for a while. That doesn’t make it right or free from criticism. And there are so many problems facing the country that she probably just hasn’t given it focus, and there is only so much one representative can do unless they have backing from a majority of the…

Playing “Santa Baby” over a retail sound system should be a crime punishable by life imprisonment. It is the only song that I have ever heard where I genuinely don’t understand why anyone would enjoy listening to it. There are other songs that I dislike or hate, but I usually get why another person might enjoy it. Not…

I haven’t bothered to listen to it, but The Killers write new Christmas music fairly often. I think there actually is a fair amount of new Christmas music, it just doesn’t stick in the public consciousness for whatever reason.

It takes place over 358 days from the point of view of two different characters, which is where the over two comes from.

Wow. You managed to actually come up with a hypothetical Call of Duty game that actually sounds interesting to me. Impressive!

As someone currently playing Final Fantasy VI and Chrono Trigger (I wasn’t alive when either one came out and I only got access to it recently), I totally feel that. 

But I don’t want spam!
