Isn't he also Big the Cat?

Yeah, he’s supposed to be the same age as Harry’s parents and their friends. This really stands out in the third movie, where Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettegrew are all clearly younger. And they were all cast a bit too old themselves, although I wrote that off as Peter just being ugly and Sirius and Remus…

I know there’s a lot of people discussing his roles and which ones are the most iconic, but I’ll always remember him for the time he made tea.

Rickman gave an impeccable performance as Snape, but I’ve never been able to fully get over the fact that he was far too old for the role (in the first book/movie, he’s supposed to be around 30). That’s not on Rickman at all, and honestly he did such a good job that I can at least understand why they cast him.

It depends on the project. Some projects fail because they were started by someone who didn’t realize what they were getting in to, and didn’t have what it took to follow through. Other projects fail because they were never intended to succeed, just make a quick buck. In the case of the latter, the FTC could…

Is it weird that when I saw the title, I thought it meant “out” as in “of the closet”?

I must confess, I’m guilty of scrolling down to the YES/NO box first and letting that be a filter for the rest of the review. So I have to say from my own perspective this is a good change, since it basically forces the reader to take everything in context. Games are incredibly subjective, and even things that are…

And I can safely assume this piece will only be used by people building this set and will never be added to someone’s custom build for cheap laughs. Can’t even imagine a scenario where that could take place.

I wonder if reruns and the advent of higher-quality TVs has led to that. I can’t speak from firsthand experience due to not having been alive when the show first aired, but I imagine that as TVs have gotten bigger and better that mustache has gotten more and more noticeable. I doubt they would let an actor get away…

Ah, OK. I played the card game when I was young, but never got into official play. I suppose leaving the information still makes them casual-playable without having to keep a reference file handy, if you’re into that sort of thing.

I like how the Glaceon is running through a meadow during what appears to be spring, but the Espeon is in the snow.

Snark aside, though, these look marvelous. I kind of wish they had just ignored the text portion of the card and had just gone full-art, although I can understand the desire to keep them playable.

Well, unlike the SNES-era ports, this doesn’t look like it’s been redrawn and filtered in a completely amateurish style, so I’d say that’s a good sign.

I tried really hard to come up with a logical explanation for this that didn’t translate to some variant of “easy access to sugar daddies”.

Couldn’t do it.

I love how Super Star Wars is part of the Disney block. Also, I assume “1p2c” on Goof Troop means 1 Player, 2 Controllers. Really wish I could watch that one live, hopefully they’ll be quick with the YouTube uploads this year.

Metroid Prime still amazes me with how gorgeous it is. Part of that is just good design, but Retro really figured out how to get the best bang for their buck out of the GameCube’s hardware.

Also, Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock was a thing years before Big Bang Theory.

Elsewhere in the image, “Super Mario Bros. 3” is selected as the style.

Isn’t this a contradictory tag? Unless something changed in a recent update, “Yoshi” in SMB3 stages is the boot/shoe.

So I take it that the orchestral version of Simple and Clean doesn’t count as an Utada song? I had to look up the DDD intro because I could have sworn it used Simple and Clean, but it ended up being the orchestral version. I assume that the key is that since this version doesn’t include her voice, it’s not under the…

I just got hit with some major nostalgia. Made me think of when I was a kid and first got DKC, and how it was fresh and different and unlike anything else I had played before.
