NEW VIDEO!

Listen to me talk about Donkey Kong Bananza and why it's quickly become one of my all-time favourite video games, ever ever EVER. Shares appreciated and all that!

I might just do the same.

TheCartoonGamer @thecartoongamer.bsky.social · 17h

Oi vey.

TheCartoonGamer @thecartoongamer.bsky.social · 17h

Rent?? How do you do that with a digital release? Or are you waiting for physical?

TheCartoonGamer @thecartoongamer.bsky.social · 18h

I wanted to do a Yooka-Replaylee review, but after the lack of transparency with its Switch 2 release (amidst a very bumpy and deflating pre-release cycle), I'm currently in no mood to do so. I'd still like to try it, but I'll do so on my own time later down the line.

I'll try!

This was Demon Slayer from top to bottom, for better and for worse. Good visuals/acting, but a lotta characters self-narrating and flashbacks that stop the plot every 10 minutes, including the trademark “kill the badguy, get a 30 minute sob story immediately after” schtick. Still, good time out.

I can see the Futurama crew got into the Bananza juice this season. Grab that fossil before reaching the core!

Well if that isn't the most ominous email I've ever gotten for movie tickets, I don't know what is.

The #Kongversation is joined by @pyrrhickong.bsky.social to harmonize discussion on Bananza's 13th world! Lost, alone, and incarcerated, how will Donkey Kong get his groove back? Note: This episode only contains spoilers through the end of Sublayer 1300.

The key art to the Kongversation's "Donkey Kong Bananza: Sublayer 1300" episode. Donkey Kong lies on the floor behind a Fractone jail cell as two guards with spears stand on either side.

JAILBREAK!

TheCartoonGamer @thecartoongamer.bsky.social · 2d

This video features:
- 5 Linda Belcher references
- 3 Aqua Teen/Space Ghost Jokes
- 1 Ranger Tabes mention
- A whole lotta fanboying

Uniquely me, and I think it's my magnum opus. For now.

Anyone from Donkey Kong Bananza.

If we could interview the developers of any game, who would you want us to interview?

Sly Cooper 5, so I have an excuse to buy a PS5.

Either that, or Sabreman Stampede/Donkey Kong Racing rising from the ashes.

TheCartoonGamer @thecartoongamer.bsky.social · 3d

Heart's in the right place, but that name needs some more workshopping.

TheCartoonGamer @thecartoongamer.bsky.social · 4d

Sold.

TheCartoonGamer @thecartoongamer.bsky.social · 4d

Assorted sketches over the last few days - some anime, some Pokemon, a Donkey Kong, and maybe an original character stewing in my brain. Fun stuff all around.

I hate that it's come to this, but we've been unexpectedly hit with a big car repair, and we're kind of out of options.

But I don't like asking for help without offering you *something*, so: Ask me anything in the message section, and I'll respond here with a *video* answer.

It's Halloween season, so I'm plugging my Freaky Stories video once again, featuring the show's creator Steve Schnier - in what he calls the definitive look at his show. Can't get better than that!

In recent memory, Pizza Tower had me howling with laughter with its sense of humor. When I got a D rank and heard the accompanying theme I was on the floor in stitches.

I think I'm gonna take a break from Inktober this year - apologies for anyone who may have been chomping at the bit to see my silly little scribbles! I'll probably find other things to draw and share this month, but I had a decent and fun run with the inking idea.
