I know it's a petty and pointless niggle but Yossi/Yoshi's Island was only ever Super Mario World 2 in the west where they also ignored the first Mario World being Super Mario Bros. 4. US marketing, eh? They just can't leave stuff alone. Still an awesome game, though.
Nintendo Metro@nintendometro.bsky.social · 5h ago'Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island' was released on the Super Famicom 31 years ago today in Japan.
Shades of Attack On Titan in the house today as I try to take down a Survey Corps of flies. I do stop short of eating them, though.
I doubt I'll ever know how Stuart fails to save the universe because I really couldn't get through the first episode. I watched the first episode of S4 of Strange New Worlds instead where one of the Enterprise's crew punches a dinosaur. *sigh*
I guess folks are really in the mood for a new Spider-Man movie.
My mate wallpapered half his bedroom in Superman bubblegum cards in '78 so this always gives me flashbacks. So many packets. I can still name bits of the movie from the card titles. 'Portrait of a hero', 'Paying a call on Lois Lane', 'Panic in the sky' etc. Double album OST was a cracker.
James Halford @doubledown1138.bsky.social · 4d ago#Superman (1978) on BBC Two. It may be 48 years old but it's still by far the greatest big screen portrayal of the character and remains one of the best comic book films of all time.
Almost forgot about #randomgamesaturday so here's a UK 360 Vanquish with it's snazzy lenticular slipcase.
My sanity has been restored this sunny Saturday morning by listening to this.
Woke up early, had a cuppa while absent-mindedly scrolling through some social media sites and I have to say that the AI bubble bursting thing can't come soon enough.
Since doing some shirts, my feeds on 'the socials' are full of other people doing shirts. It's a shirt war! So here's my officially sanctioned hard-sell post for this month. 20% off for this weekend with superkosmikatclub.etsy.com?coupon=SUMME...
Remember when Marvel tried their hand at a Perfect Dark spin-off comic in 1978?
I have no idea what I'm doing this week. Completely lost it. Might as well be drawing with a sausage.
Properly took a look at my pensions today but I’ll damned if I’ll stop taking the mick out of all the late afternoon ‘get your funeral in order’ and chairs that automatically tip you out of them telly adverts. Although that lift in the corner of the living room looks might fine.
Read a quote from the bloke who's playing Link in the Zelda movie - "I can't speak too much on the film itself, but I remember vividly when Breath of the Wild came out – and it might show my age – but I remember being quite young at the time when it came out"

I read a bunch of Guardian columns about folks who pivoted, career-wise, when they were 60 but, as I head towards 62, I can't stop thinking about just what I would pivot to?

RIP Bill. The Goodies was a big deal for kids in the '70s (well, this kid, anyway) and I can often be found singing to myself your contribution to Rick Wakeman's Criminal Record.
I guess that there's no reason why a Blade Runner TV series couldn't work. It'll be like a replicant of the week kinda thing, no? Where they'll get more and more bizarre and difficult to take down. There's one with a fork lift for a head, or one made up out of 10 small replicants.
Ahh, the age old dilemma of what record to put on the turntable on a Thursday afternoon (Eno's Thursday Afternoon doesn't count as it's not on vinyl AFAIK) - Sporting or Dr Who sound effects?Tw
I hear that the Muskrat's Grok version of The Odyssey is replacing the cyclops with a historically accurate giant enemy crab. Let's hope that bad boy gets dealt some massive damage. Oh, and has the right number of legs.
Doesn't look as terrible as I thought it might. Still don't really want one, though. Now, if they'd done a whole line of mono-coloured keshi, though...
preternia@preternia.com · 2w agoHasbro The Legend of Zelda 6-inch Link, preorders go up tonight (7/22) around 8:00 PM ET.
Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors racing game. Main characters vs Monster Mines. On the PS2. What could have been.
I realise that to many From is just a horror Lost but I just can't resist the mystery box even though I'm quite prepared to be disappointed when it all wraps up.
