Donatello is, and always will be, the best turtle.

I dunno if they’re my favorite version but I really enjoyed the 2007 CGI movie. I didn’t see it at the time but a few years later I saw the DVD for like $5 in Target and had a great time with it. I feel like it didn’t get as much love as it deserved.

I haven’t seen all of the cartoons but I’m a child of the ‘80s so I was obviously into anything TMNT in the early years. That being said: yeah, I really liked the 2012 turtles show. Weirdly I never finished it because the last couple seasons never made it to Hulu so that’s probably something I should fix.

Ah well, another game I picked up before the 3DS store shutdown and I can now just play on the Switch. It’s fine! My preference is just that these games are officially available.

I literally had to stop and think “what the heck is the Mario Cuomo bridge” before remembering that’s the name for the new Tappan Zee bridge. My brain has just completely rejected it.

Well, I mean, no, I only played it when it was on Game Pass, so I didn’t pay anything for it (that I wasn’t already paying).

I think the gradual shift from goofy arcadey games into aspiring sims is probably the biggest problem I have with everything Rockstar has put out in the last ten or so years (which, uh... I guess is only two games, but whatever).

Cool, good to hear.

I thought so but thinking about it now I genuinely can’t remember. It has been years so yeah I dunno.

The story wasn’t really doing it for me but honestly if I recall correctly it was actually the minute-to-minute gameplay simply did not feel good. Even the first RDR didn’t have great gameplay but I found pretty quickly that you could easily headshot every enemy with little trouble so I was able to brute force my way…

Eh... not sure. I think I got past the snow stuff but maybe not? It was years ago and my memory is pretty foggy.

In the years since the open-world game has continued to be popular, and it eventually got a bigger, better prequel in the form of Red Dead Redemption 2

Okay I don’t really have any interest in watching these movies but looking at it for what I think is the first time, I completely agree that the design in the sequel looks great.

Although I guess I already established there were only ONE dozen of us. Ah well.

Nicolas Cage also apparently wore skeleton makeup whenever he was playing Ghost Rider:

Okay, but to be clear that’s a full remake and is a much larger undertaking than this, which is simply a port.

Yeah, Mario Kart is the best-selling racing game of all time and in the (increasingly nebulous) ranking of “best-selling games of all time”, the 6th best-selling game of all time. It’s pretty popular and wildly enough still hasn’t really slowed down too much.

As one of the 12 Wii U owners in the world I’d like to say: okay, fair.

I dunno; you say that, but looking at the list itself it’s pretty much exactly the games you’d expect: Mario Kart, Animal Crossing, Smash Bros, Breath of the Wild, Mario Odyssey, a couple of Pokemon games, etc. It’s not that surprising those games sold that well, considering how big they were when they were released.

Yeah again I dunno if there’s some nuance I’m missing here but I can’t think of any reason why they couldn’t have done a simple update.
