I like to stick to one place at a time. I left 1UP and that's that. I'm having enough trouble just keeping up with all the activitiy here at Pixlbit. Plus, I think Pixlbit is better at enabling me to keep up with responses to blogs and such. I do miss 1UP though and still have a link up there on my browser to it.
I'm using backloggery as a kind of metagame now. I use the randomizer to pick an unplayed game and try and finish it.
I remember the gender reversed Donkey Kong Pauline Edition that was made recently. They did a whole cabinet.
It just dawned on me that Joust is the original "flappy bird".
Bandit's look is priceless. "I really hated that" he seems to say.
Ha! DK Jr. Math. Didn't see that one. Cool. The cartoon I'll have to watch later 'cause it's late, and DK Game Boy did come out a few years after SMK, so you're right there, and I should've known that 'cause I just read something you wrote about that. Ah, facts. There's so many of them and so little time to find them all.
Yea, I don't think there's any continuity between the new and old DK's. It seems like with DK Country, the current characters were set and not much of a backstory has been given regarding how they all relate to each other. Somehow I think Nintendo did that on purpose.
"but this game it’s trying to be a little too much like Burnout." Every game should try hard to be like Burnout. Burnout Paradise should try harder to be like Burnout. Actually, Criterion should just release another Burnout. Why haven't they done so? I want to know.
And those Xbox 360 sales are great. I actually played hookie from work, briefly, to check on Friday's sales 'cause I forgot to before work. There was nothing much there of interest to me today, but I'm checking again first thing tomorrow. I got like 4 games for under $15 total earlier in the week.
That's what I was thinking since they used Cranky Kong but for some reason Nintendo has tried to distance themselves from Jr. and use Diddy and DIxie instead. Maybe because they don't want people to remember Mario as an antagonist like he was in DK jr. or maybe they don't want a father/son thing going on because then people ask, "well, who's the mother then?". It's weird, but I'm sure they had some board meeting and carefully thought it through.
