Yep, here ya go:

The scene with the ponies had me laughing until my sides hurt. It’s sadly been censored in the US.

How do you catch a unique Pikachu?

I love how he’s trying to pitch it as ‘legal trickery’ and so forth, when the entire thing was completely above board, public, and announced. He and his cronies just didn’t bother paying attention to what was going on. It’s like a magician pulling a rabbit out of a hat that he very clearly put into the hat not a…

Try My Little Scythe. It's an adorable adaptation that's easy and much less grindy.

Exactly. You *could* make a video game out of it, but it would be just the card game on your phone. Contrariwise, you could do video game tie-ins, where the cards are Sonic characters or whatever the kids are into these days. Mario Love Letter sounds cool, actually.

I have a problem with this. Namely that they are not in my mouth RIGHT NOW.

I do like Love Letter (and the related games therof). It’s a very small form factor game, making it easy to pack along and play just about anywhere. There’s surprisingly deep strategy, a good amount of luck, and some good old social deception.

The other day I, a person of tone best described as ‘light mayonnaise’, had to explain to a fellow melanin-deficient exactly what 'invited to the cookout' meant, and the significance therof. They couldn't get past why it was any different than a standard backyard BBQ.

That we know of, anyways...

Pssst. You'll want to tinker your headline blurb, since it's saying you can get the controller for *five dollars*, not $45.

In the old Naughty Dog game ‘Keef the Thief’, taking a particular path through the tree maze will get you to an in-game version of the game studio.

Because hungry, presumably?

Bonus round: the dead face turns out to be that of Elmer McCurdy. (Points if you get the reference)

I remember Masquerade. So lovely and mysterious! My mother and I would sit and read it and try to puzzle it out. We had *just* figured out the core mechanism (follow the hidden hare’s paws to the letters along the sides) when they announced it had been found. Poop.

There was a CCG one, as I recall, that led to a nice little platinum cube.

It menaces with spikes!

I was disappointed by the Thief franchise reboot, around the same time. Not just because it was a blatant console port. It just didn’t have the same feel as the old games. The blend of technology and magic.

Yep. And the monorail, and Homer jumping Springfield Gorge, etc. May just be random Simpson-y things, or may have broader meaning within the episode.

I like the callout on the poster to Homer’s instant makeup application invention...
