Thanks for reading!  Yeah as scary as it's been for me, I can't even imagine what my mom is going through.  I mean, she's had whole chunks of her body taken out!

Thanks for reading!  Do be sure to let us know what you think of those games!

It is a very average beat 'em up, but I love the silly themes.  Also has great 'Engrish.'  Lines such as "This is a graveyard of you!" are great.  Never saw it in an arcade, though.

I'm so lucky I have had power and water this whole time!  I work in the plumbing department of a major hardware chain, and on the days I've been able to go to work, I've been dealing with nothing but horror stories of people's pipes bursting and power going out.  

And in other good news, guess who just got a beta test key for Guilty Gear Strive?

I reviewed one of these games back when I was at The Dallas Morning News.  I think it was the third one.  It had a Christmas level anyway.  It seemed all right.  Just standard 3-D platforming fare.  The voice quips were funny but got old the third time he repeated them.  I also played the first 2-D one at a 3DO demo station in a store before that, but they had the sound turned off so I didn't know Gex would talk the whole time.

I heard WayForward made this game.

This game may be cute, but it's BRUTALLY HARD!  And the game trolls you, too!  When my brother Jeff played it on this collection, he was bound and determined to beat it.  He played it for hours.  Apparently at one point you can take a different path, so Jeff took it.   He found himself in a sky level and when he beat it, an angel held the Kiwi in her arms and said he was in Heaven and can rest now.  Then he got a premature GAME OVER screen!  He was so mad at that, but we both laughed at it!  All that hard work and he didni't even get to save all his friends captured by that leopard seal!

My mom watched the Witcher TV show on Netflix.  Only thing I know about The Witcher is that one of the characters is a guest fighter in Soul Calibur VI.

Awww yeah!  Jazz Jackrabbit!  I loved these games.  The first one came out when consoles and PCs were neck and neck in power, and sometimes consoles would surpass PCs in some areas.  Consoles definitely had an edge on 2-D platformers for a time, so seeing this running as well on a PC was amazing.  This was also when shareware was a big way to do PC gaming.  Oh how different things were back then! I also liked the music.  Especially the Tubelectric and Medievo planets.

I played a lot of Jazz Jackrabbit 2 when I was in college.  While I felt the first game played like a cross between Sonic and Mega Man, the second game to me felt more like a cross between Sonic and Earthworm Jim.  Still a fun game, though, and same goes for the music.

I have the GBA Jazz Jackrabbit game.  To me it doesn't feel like a remake of the first.  For one, it plays more like a cross between Earthworm Jim and the SNES Duck Dodgers game instead of Sonic.  And it's called Jazz Jackrabbit 3 and Spaz is in it and he says he's retired from the last game.  I couldn't get into the GBA game as much as the others, though.

I didn't make the connection that the Jazz developers now do Fornite.  If they put Jazz Jackrabbit in it, I MIGHT be tempted to play it.  I'd love a Jazz Jackrabbit collection on the Switch or PS4 or something like that.

These games aren't my cup of tea, but I've watched my brothers play both of them and I can see why people like them.  The graphics look great, especially in Call of Duty, and every online match is different.  So yeah, I can understand why they are so popular.
