Also: scorpions glow under black light!

I doubt anyone else remembers it, but I want an update of Puggsy! Who cares how the Amiga version was crap?

R.I.P. The Marvel: Avengers Alliance Facebook game (March 1, 2012-Oct. 1, 2016).

Fans of Kids in the Hall should be aware of season 1, episode 3 of the PBS kids' show Odd Squad, "Mystery at Shapely Manor," which serves as a mini-reunion of Kids in the Hall alumni, in addition to being a hilarious pastiche of Clue.

They Might Be Giants has (Untitled) off Factory Showroom—a phone conversation not between parents, but between two people completely unrelated to the band, which was recorded off of the answering machine TMBG's 1980's Dial-A-Song line. It's pretty funny as is, and apparently got too weird for the Johns to play the…

While I haven't played much of them, the Princess Maker games have some of the more nuanced parenting games out there. And you get to send your adopted child off to fight monsters, just like you should in real life.

Okay, that X & Y theme is Broadway goodness, but for nostalgic punch, nothing really beats the bike theme from Red/Blue.

Wow! Two mentions in Keyboard Geniuses in three weeks! Thanks! Now, do I get Gamer Points for this or do I have to get a hat trick to get the trophy?

Hey! That's Illia, my companion of choice (mainly 'cause I go warrior and she's a mage). I'll guess she was supposed to say "hey, wait, no, you already have a follower" but bugged. She's probably still hanging out in (look up) Darklight tower.

The, "as long as you satisfy two bullet points, you can't fail" attitude reminds me of a similar system in the Style Savvy series of clothes boutique simulators. As long as you get the article and/or brand and/or color and/or price the customer wants, she tends to be happy with whatever clothes or even full outfit…

What, no respect for the purposefully accelerated fall—the glorious butt-stomp (or ground pound, if you prefer)? Even as far back as 64, there's something grand about hitting that back "Z" button, watching Mario defy gravity in order to perform a somersault in air, and coming down ass-first with a satisfying crash.

Better men than I have pointed this out, but there's always Bowser Jr.'s first real appearance, in Super Mario Sunshine. "Shadow Mario" has kidnapped Peach (for the second or third time) and Mario steadfastly wins a bizarre boss fight to accost Shadow Mario. The doppleganger reveals himself to be a small,…

Not that I ever would, but actually following through on my fetish is illegal in 28 states!

I remember reading through some cringe superpost, thinking I was above the quote-unquote waifu obsession, and then i remembered seeeeveral characters, including several AIs, I'd, as you say, sacrifice my soul for. We're all sad human beings.

I've enjoyed this song and video for years, and am very pleased to see it receiving love down here.

Where is Weird Al, I ask you?!

Now, I haven't played Assassin's Creed, but, based on nearly every other game I've ever played, am I right to assume that, in some point in the game, you have such a ludicrous amount of money that you could purchase everything in the game and still only spend half of it? Receiving currency as reward usually only…

My most used Simpsons phrase, at least in my internal monologue, is "Yeah, well, y'don't."

I must point out that it's like having your brains smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped around a large gold brick, not a gold brick with a slice of lemon wrapped around it. I feel like there's a difference.

I got both Lost Dimension and Project X Zone a couple of weekends ago, and while the sociopathic social climbing of Dimension is charming, I've found myself wanting to power through Project more.
