If I could do it all over again, I never would’ve bought all those old Sonic comics in 2010. I never would’ve learned about them. I could’ve just pointed and laughed at the same rote shit everyone else does to seem cool. Avoided some bad places. I honestly can’t say my life’s better having read them

Ocarina of Time feels so much like a Zelda II that doesn’t assume you have a book next to you/an infinite summer to play it. The way you trade items around. The enemies having distinct attack patterns you have to duck ‘n’ weave between. Rauru’s in both! All this to say, Zelda II? Pretty good game!

As someone who just found out about it from some schmuck on YouTube, the Namcollection fascinates me because you get five PlayStation titles on the PS2; you could play them via backwards compatibility, but then you’d miss out on the PS2’s lack of model and texture warping. That alone makes this rad.

The title screen for the 2005 Namco compilation game “Namcollection”, a portmanteau of Namco and Collection, featuring the Car from Ridge Racer, Kazuya from Tekken, the Plane from Ace Combat, Klonoa from Klonoa, and Mr. Driller.

In hindsight, Chowder unabashedly took a lot from its big sibling SpongeBob, but contextualized it with its own flavor, style, and world that you almost feel kind of like an asshole for pointing it out. But, like, I mean it in a good way!

Oh yeah, I beat Ocarina of Time again! It’s a timeless masterpiece that I am so, so excited to explore all over again and gush over all the new added detail. But don’t let that subtract from how unmistakably golden the original game is on its own merits. In it’s design, it’s enemies, it’s characters

Ocarina of Time makes the bold decision of giving you Knuckles Arrows first. You have to earn Sonic Arrows in Gerudo’s Training Grounds, and Tails rounds you out at the end as a gift from Zelda.
