For the first time, watched Citizen Kane tonight. Turns out, it's a good movie. Surprise!

Mega Man 7 wasn't great either. MM9 was a bit better though.

Mega Man 8 kinda sucked.

Anyone else worry that they forgot to return a book to the public library in 1986 and now owe $37,502.49 in late fines, or is that just me?

I agree with Arin Hansen....the MegaMan X intro stage is one of the best "explain the mechanics" levels without being an overt tutorial. Just as good as SMB1.

In the movie "The Monster Squad", they attack Dracula with a slice of pizza.

Because it's made with garlic powder, so it burns him.

Brilliant.

Today at Retro Game Con, I used a 'Panasonic Sr. Partner' to print a christmas card with The Print Shop. This was a portable computer from the 80s that had a thermal printer built right into the case.

Bats, rats, spiders and dire wolves are not nearly the problem that video games said they’d be.

We have to train AI to need to use printers. That's how we'll defend ourselves from skynet.

Is it too late to be a Nintendo game counselor? Because that sounds fun.

Zelda 1 is better than Zelda 2. But Zelda 2 isn’t bad; it’s a good and fun game. But holy hell is the Great Palace hard without a map.

Zelda 2: death mountain is far too hard for your typical progression. No idea why its not scaled down a bit considering it’s harder than the next 3 palaces.

Darius Rucker’s cover is really good, but I do like the Old Crow Medicine Show version of Wagon Wheel.

Look it's very simple. You don't fight Heat Man until you have Item-2.

If you don’t eat your meat, you can’t have any pudding. How can you have your pudding if you don’t eat your meat?
