Josh (@geekcritique.org) returns to discuss the recent VGHF uploads of materials from early E3s! We get into the full Nintendo press conference from 1997 that revealed Banjo-Kazooie and Conker's Quest to the world, and more historic DKU moments, on the #Kongversation! www.dkvine.com?p=podcasts&s...

Where have you gone, Conker the Squirrel? Our nation turns its lonely eyes to you Poo, poo, poo

Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.

To O’Mara, the diet is not just a temporary means of losing weight but a way to eat for good. He has been doing it for 10 years, and credits it with turning his life around. At one point in our conversation he pulled up the Bristol Stool Chart, which ranges from Type 1 (“separate, hard pellets”) to Type 7 (“watery, no solid pieces”). O’Mara is consistently delivering Type 4 (“smooth, soft, like a snake”), with pointed ends, indicative of healthy rectal function, he told me. “When you start eating healthy, you don’t need toilet paper,” he claimed. “Animals in the wild have no residual stool on their anus.” He described a proper bowel movement to me this way: odorless, wipe-free, over in three to seven seconds and “nearly orgasmic.”

“I could have a bowel movement behind a sheet at a dinner party in the corner of the room,” he said, “and nobody would know.”

Kiddy Kong and the Virtual Boy are riding high this week. Maybe we should have fought for a more worthwhile cause for the last 30 years, but I’ll gladly take the win.

These previously unreleased Virtual Boy games are now available to play on Virtual Boy – Nintendo Classics for #NintendoSwitchOnline + Expansion Pack members: ☑️ ZERO RACERS ☑️ D-HOPPER

I planned to stagger DK Challenge throughout the summer, but since there are TWO Emerald Rush events to worry about this month, I didn't want to leave it all to the last minute! Anyway, since it's my headcanon that Cranky set these, I can once again say "Eat shit, Cranky."

Rool (Donkey Kong Country, but a render from Donkey Kong 64), Donkey Kong Sr. (Donkey Kong 3), and another Donkey Kong Sr. (Donkey Kong '94). Screenshot from DK Challenge.

Star Fox Command was released in Japan 20 years ago today! While it was perhaps an ignoble way to wrap up the "Dinosaur Planet Trilogy," I'll always admire its brazen gusto. If we're never getting a game set later in the timeline, at least it gave us several possible futures for the characters.

Donkey Kong Country 2 plushes this time - these marionette plush dolls were meant to be placed in your car, so they'd dangle around. @dkvine.com

Two days before we're Bobbing for Baubles in Bananza, we're Sailboating with Skinks in Sea of Thieves. Come bask in our weekly stream at 11 AM EDT/8 AM PDT (4 PM BST)! www.twitch.tv/dkvine
