Well it's good to hear they'll have more Best Buy competitors, but I'm still questioning why the others are there, too.  But oh well, what do I know?

Have you ever played the Snoopy vs. the Red Baron games?

I think the reason why we don't see much video game merchandise here in the US is because the licensing fees are probably very high.  But there is a lot more stuff than there used to be!  And with the Internet, it's more easily accessible, too.  Except Amiibo figures. :)

I didn't watch this video very carefully, so maybe I missed something, but I think it's a bit off-putting that most of the people they featured in the competition are speedrunners and other YouTube reviewers.  How did they earn the right to go?  I only saw three people from the Best Buy competitions featured.  But oh well, I just I'm just an old fart complaining, and I probably sound like Grunkle Stan from Gravity Falls.  "Text me a photo?  Now you're not even speaking English!"  Speaking of Nintendo World Championships, I just recently posted a blog about my memories of the ORIGINAL event that I went to, and I'd like to encourage you all to read it if you want to see what it was like back then and why it was such a big deal.  Thanks for reading!

Shantae is a good idea.  I also thought Captain Syrup would be cool in the game.  I bet in the next Smash game, the squids from Splatoon will show up (and not just Mii outfits).

Nope nope nope.  Return of Ishtar actually plays similarly to the orignal game, except now you have to control Gil AND Ki at the same time.  If you thought the first one was hard...

Let me know if you want to learn more about the Druaga games.  I can steer you in the right direction.

I'm glad you didin't bash Nuts & Bolts.  While it's true I'd rather have a more traditional BK game, Nuts & Bolts was a great game in its own right.  If Rare made some of the games you mentioned, I might actually consider getting an Xbox One.  Maybe.

Oh I've been to every PAX in Seattle since 2008!  And I'm going again this year, too!

In 1990 we were still kids.  How much shit did we have to have together?  Not a lot, I'd say.

The orange was neat because it matched the PIxlbit web site logo, but I like the green, too, because green is my favorite color!

I looked into that ScrewAttack convention a couple of years ago, but it looked like mostly YouTube 'celebrities' were the feature there, which I have no interest in, so I didn't go.

Yeah, they do have Super Mario fruit snacks now, too, but they are totally different than the ones we had as kids.
