favorite: maybe Nintendo Video, I care more about games than apps....
least Favorite: Swap Note, I had a lot of "I have Pokémon X and you don't!!" spam from my cousin and when he finally reduced the ammount of bragging so the app was good again, they shut down the spotpass.
goodbyes are a sad part of life but for every end there's a new beggining so one must never stop looking forward to the next dawn

Today's topic is obscure games! Any game that most people wouldn't even know exist.
Favorite: Life and Death for DOS, (As well as few other computers) from The Software Toolworks. (The same company responsible for the PC version of Mario Teaches Typing. They created Weegee!) It's a game where you work at a hospital, diagnosing and treating patients. Eventually you'll get a patient with appendicitis and you'll have to operate! The game does a really good job at recreating actual surgery, especially considering the game only uses like, 4 colors. And of course if you're feeling crazy you can do stuff like write your initials on the patient with your scalpel... Special mention goes to Speedy Eggbert. The game itself is only okay, but the built in level editor is an amazing tool.
Least favorite: Cindarella's Castle Designer. I watched my little sister try playing this once, it was awful! First off, the tutorial took forever. The fairy god mother was literally repeating the same two instructions over and over. We were waiting for her to finish for so long, that we decided to go eat a snack and when we came back, she was still talking! When she finally stopped, the game itself was horrible. It uses that ugly 3D engine a lot of cheap games back then used, and the game was basically replacing and placing furniture in rooms. Yay. My sister never touched that- Oh wait. I just remembered something even worse than that game. (And after typing all that, I'm not erasing it! ) Once I got my sister some sort if Barbie Zoo game for her birthday, and the game was pretty much unplayable. I don't remember much about it, other than this: The game was like an isometric overhead type game, and Barbie was programmed to walk straight up, down, left and right, but the world was diagonal! So when my sister tried making Barbie walk through her house, it took her forever to get anywhere because like, if she walked through a hallway she walked up, and hit the wall, turned right, hit the wall, etc. until she made it through, that was such a huge red flag my sister never touched the game again. So my least favorite obscure game is actually this, but I don't remember the name.
Favourite: Star Control II - This isn't really obscure in the PC gaming world, but since this is a primarily console based site, where it is obscure, I'd include it. This game is lightyears (No pun intended) ahead of its time. The writing is excellent, there's a very surprising amount of depth, the open world is huge. This game actually did receive a console port, but it was on the 3DO, of all systems. If it had been released early in the PS1's life, this would probably be a pretty well known game to console gamers. You can actually download a port for new OSs for free (Legally) here.
Least favourite: Family Dog (SNES) - This game is reprehensible. I can't say enough bad things about it! The controls are broken, there is an astonishing lack of level design (Just walking right will be sufficient for most levels), the enemies are a random mishmash of garbage, and the collision detection is actually very close to as bad as The Wizard of Oz on the SNES (You always fall through the platforms, if you actually want to go on them). The music sounds like a toddler banging on a piano, and even the graphics suck.
Favorite: Mobile Light Force 2 (AKA Castle of Shikigami III) - This is a "Bullet H*ll" shooter I got for the PS2 for $5 at the Goodwill when I was younger. Really Castle of Shikigami III, whoever localized it called it Mobile Light Force 2, and gave the box art a Charlie's Angels-esque theme, lol. It was hard and very odd in spots, but it was loads of fun, and me and my best friend tried multiple times to beat it in co-op, but never could.
Least Favorite: Real Pool - This was a PS2 billiards game I got, but the disc never worked so I never got the chance to play it.

Switch - Blade Strangers
PS4 - Kingdom Hearts III, Tetris Effect (VR)
Favorite Credits Song: To Far Away Times (or Outskirts of Time) from Chrono Trigger. It took many of the songs from throughout the game, put them together, and added a few new things.
Least Favorite: The original Legend of Zelda Credit Theme. It was just so out of place compared to the other songs; it felt like it should be in a Mario game

Yeah, guitars are cool.
My musical project Comet Tail made a couple of recordings.

Favorite: Masahiro Sakurai. I really appreciate how much detail he puts into his games, and the kind of surprises he likes to pull on the Smash Bros. fans. Though it seems there are some people who don't give him enough credit.
Today's topic is non-chain restaurants, like any restaurant that only has one, or maybe two locations.
My favorite is Big Al's in Manteo NC. It's a 50's themed diner with an arcade that has some pinball machines in it. The food isn't super amazing or anything, it's just the environment that makes it so great!
My least favorite is this place near where I live called The Purple Foot, and it's this creepy tiny abandoned looming shack... I've never been there but I don't want to.

Favourite: There's this 50's diner I used to go to all the time in high school. They had a couple of pinball machines. Decent food. Great milkshakes. They made homemade chocolates there too. Place has gone down hill since I graduated though. New management.
Today's topic is a arcade games. Not the genre, but actual arcade games that you could find in an arcade.
Favorite: White Water (Pinball) - It's my most favorite pinball game!
Least Favorite: Simpsons Kooky Carnival - I saw one at a Chuck E. Cheese once. I was really disappointed because it's from Stern, and uses a bunch if parts from The Simpson's Pinball Party, (Which is one of the highest rated Stern pinball games out there) but it was just a dumb redemption game.
Favourite - G-Loc (Not many 360 degree rotation Arcade games that I have played).
Least Favourite - Playchoice-10 (e.g Volleyball - Why anybody would ever have wanted to play NES games in an Arcade is beyond me)

Freedom of the press is for those who happen to own one.
My favorite from the non-gaming realm would go to Eric Whitacre.
From the gaming realm: Koji Kondo, David Wise, and Martin O'Donnell. (I still haven't figured out why Bungie fired him...)
