44. Castlevania — Spooky season gaming! I like this era of Castlevania games because you can get in and out in one night. Brevity can be good.

43. Mega Man III (Game Boy) — Conceptually, these games just bother me. Structurally, they make no narrative sense. But also, the remixing of previous MM powers, bosses, and stages is really just sort of irksome. Do. Not. Like.

Probably will circle back eventually, but the backlog is extensive. 🤣

Do you mean the N64 one? TTYD had an even better reputation so I jumped straight to this one. It’s got a fun group of characters and great story.

42. Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door — It’s a great game with a delightful, humorous script, and it very much deserves its golden reputation. Now, there are some things to quibble with, especially the late-game pacing and difficulty scaling. But It’s way more good than bad.

41. R-Type — Been a big fan for a long time, but I do think the difficulty, especially late, overdoes it a little. Despite that, it’s a classic, basically a must-play for anyone with any kind of fondness for shoot-em-ups.

The pit of 100 trials is no joke. Took me over 6 hours on my second attempt. But it is vanquished. #TTYD

Post a movie you like with a terrible rotten tomatoes score

Look, I’m not gonna fight anyone over this, but goddamn I’m entertained whenever I watch it. Plus, Halloween is coming up!

The offense should get a do-over if the pass hits the official, but not if he accidentally tackles someone.

It was the next great leap in FPS after Halo and set the stage for COD4. But a lot of what is taken for obvious now really emerges out of HL2.

40. Half-Life 2 — FPS aficionados might argue the point, but I’m not sure a shooter has come along since that set the standard in the same way as this one did. The story, world building, and set pieces are superb, even 20 years later. It remains a banger.

Had some of the best pizza of my life today at Table 87 in Brooklyn. Great vibes and food, and an extremely potent frozen Negroni.

Happy 86th birthday Lily Tomlin.

My first memory of Lily was watching her singing and signing "Sing” on Sesame Street.

Till this day, I still associate this song with Lily more than The Carpenters.
