I confess that I blurt-sang 🎶Araaabiaaaan Niiiiiiight!🎶 the instant I saw the title screen. Out loud. Well, I’ve never played this, not that I can recall, so I might check it out!

@MysteryCupofJoe Oh, it’s very, very slow, haha! As much as I like it, I’ll be the first to say it’s not for everybody. Molasses-like pacing, and it’s repetitive; you find a key on each floor (stage) and ascend, and I think there’s, like, 60 floors. But I really got into it. I liked playing it, but also, Tower of Druaga reminds me of hanging out with my great aunt. I suppose some of my fondness comes from those memories of her. At any rate, happy gaming, yo! 😄

Truthfully, my big takes off sunglasses slowly in an unnecessarily dramatic fashion and opens his mouth in shock reaction from this was: “The Tower of Druaga? Gil?! I loved that game when I was young!”

I’ve been having a lot of fun with this! I ranked 4th my first go.

@Severian We can fuse the two together! Master Slayer! ... Doom Chief? Haha, jokes aside, either character would be neat!

I had an unusual feeling of schadenfreude as I glanced at extremely and over-the-top negative reactions to the reveal. We all have our vices, I admit!

I was never what you’d consider a pro at Minecraft (ah, who am I kiddin’, I’m forever a casual), but I’ve played on and off with others, mainly relatives. I smiled at the reveal, and now I’m truly amazed by how much work is going into this. I commend Sakurai and the whole Smash team!

Typo! It’s Olive “Oyl”, not “Oly.”

This is really fascinating!

Haha! This is excellent, but I would’ve been just as stoked if it was a talking Birdy plush. 🥴

@nessisonett I referenced "Plumbers Don't Wear Ties" the other day. My friend had to call in a plumber, and I asked her if he was wearing a tie. She of course didn't get it, but I amused myself all the same.

@roy130390 I literally ate candy as I read all the comments, heh. Not quite popcorn, but...!

Perhaps someday I'll visit this world. Not now, but maybe someday.

@dojmin Exactly. And great avatar!

What magical Switchcraft is this?!

@ThanosReXXX Deep, nostalgic exhale Ah, I'll never forget the first time I ever watched Princess Mononoke. A local theater screened it, one night only. I live in a rural town, so it wasn't like the biggest cineplex our small community (which boasts a colossal number of... four auditoriums, with wildly varying sizes) fought tooth and nail to screen it. No. Where it was screened was in one of the oldest stage theat*re*s in my state (Mark Twain attended there, it seems), and said theatre is not made to serve as a modern movie auditorium.

Yet, they made it happen. They had Princess Mononoke, they had a film projector, and they assembled a serviceable screen that was charmingly shabby, or shabbily charming. I mean, it practically screamed, "Shucks, fellas, let's put on a show!"

And they did. It was the English dub, but I would watch the original Japanese version the nanosecond I got it on DVD, later. Funnily enough, before I ever watched a single frame of the film, I was thoroughly introduced to it because I got Joe Hisaishi's score music (on CD) beforehand. The music was my introduction. To make a long story short ("Too late!"), I listened to the score repeatedly and thought, "If the story and animation are anywhere near as good as its music, then Princess Mononoke must be gold!"

To summarize, yeah. Yep. I love it. Very much. One of my top favorite films--inside or out of the "animated" category. Most of my closest pals are big fans, too, and we've made silly running gags or inside jokes about the movie. I once imitated the Ape Tribe but made their voices sound like they going door-to-door to sell useless junk.

AHEM Hi, I'm here. Now I will speak of the poster. I'm preaching to the choir; while I don't care for Link's design, I really do like the background.

I randomly thought of this game today, even though I’ve never played it.

The funny thing is, every time I see the North American box art, I immediately think of, not the game, but the children's novella that was adapted from it. I remember reading that in, third grade? Something like that.

Edit: "Worlds of Power."

@LowRyder Yes!! Lunar!! 😄 Thank you!

Uggh. Talk about paper cuts. This cuts me deep.

"Tyger, Tyger, burning bright" indeed. Whoof.

Doesn't matter what the context is, what's being said or written of it, it doesn't matter at all--Whenever I hear, read or think of Tomb Raider, what comes to my mind is the sound of glasses rattling on a tray, a slow butler moaning and gurgling (occasionally flatulating), and immediately following that is an impulse to lock said butler in a freezer, or meat closet, or whatever!

@Wargoose Yeah! I agree!

@nukatha Yeah, the frequent stop-and-go of Power of Illusion was pretty hard to ignore!

Ah, Epic Mickey games. Great concept, middling to terrible execution, in my opinion.

Power of Illusion was my favorite and even that was deeply flawed. Still, it’s nice that there’s such a loyal fanbase!

I'll just stick with my PC version.

Come to think of it, I set down a sea bass and now I can’t find it. I wonder where that fish has gone? I did love it so! I loved it like a son...

Somehow I’m reminded of Hatoful Boyfriend.

Got a perfect score, which can only mean one thing... I've been playing too much.

Thanks! This stringfish has been stringing me along...

While I did get several tarantulas, mole crickets kept ruining my hunt!

I think I’ll start with my go-to design for previous Animal Crossing games: Pink Floyd’s “The Dark Side of the Moon” album cover.

@Maschinenmensch May I borrow your tinfoil hat? I could use it to bake a potato!

Thought it was a Gremlin for a nanosecond.

Well, this creep has done one thing for me: they got me interested in the actual game!

@KingBowser86 Slams fist on table in agreement Aye! Fantastic idea!

If only Cuphead could parry a lot on Peach’s pink dress. Or Kirby. Or anything pink.

Professor Layton, you’re my one true gentleman!

I liked The Holiday Special more than The Last Jedi, and I say that with all sincerity. At least The Holiday Special got my family to smile! ... Not always the way the Special intended. Nonetheless...!

@sleepinglion “Kylo and Rey flirt over instant messenger.” Hahaha! Yeah. Even when I first watched the film in theaters, with their Force sensual connectivity or whatever, I wondered if Rey was going to accidentally catch sight of Kylo on the john or something. He rustles a newspaper then notices her.

Coincidentally, I had an odd dream about Dark Helmet and Colonel Sandurz last night.

“Never Again” is also the title of a 2001 romantic comedy film. Please don’t get the two confused!

It seems a horror game requires at least one creepy doll.

@ShadJV As always, I can hear your avatar! Yeah, I feel for you. I was in attendance at that D23 panel about gaming, the one where San Fransokyo was revealed for Kingdom Hearts III. But at that same panel, Peter Pan’s Infinity figure was announced. It looked cool. And, as we know... Infinity got the cord pulled! It was always weird to me how a figure got announced and then cancelled. Very strange feeling...

@Sabrewing Tron 2.0 would be a fun revisit.

“You are becoming hysterical. Tut, tut.”

Ooh, I’m gonna have me a revisit with the game on the go!

@garfreek No joke, my heart fluttered dreamily as I imagined it all. Yeah, I would be over the moon! I love Layton.

I stand by Professor Layton until the day I spend my last hint coin.

“Life in the Mines” forever!

Personally, I felt old when “The Little Mermaid” turned 30. And I watched it in theaters.

Haha! Kirby’s inhalation sound as the Poltergust noise!

I felt the urge to visit Station Square during the 1960s and have a swingin’ time in the lounge with a martini in hand.

I approve!

“Consider this a divorce of consoles.”

Yeah, I'm definitely picking this up sometime down the road!

Every time I think about this game, I imagine Kyle saying, “It’s offline.”
