No, Red Sonja's not good, but it's still stupidly entertaining.

I reviewed that Solitarica game and met the creators of it at PAX.  Here's my review:

If you want to play a really awesome solitaire game, try Pocket Card Jockey on 3DS!

When Wallace and Gromit were first out, I was in college.  I took a clay animation class (not in college) so I have a lot of respect for what they do.

You know, when those 3-D Spy Hunter remakes were out on PS2, there were talks and rumors of a Spy Hunter movie.  I don't know if Spy Hunter is all that obscure, though.  I saw it everywhere when I was a kid, and on the NES they even took a Japanese car battle game that had nothing to do with Spy Hunter and named it Super Spy Hunter when bringing it to the US.  Even Teen Titans Go (hate that cartoon) made fun of Spy Hunter in one episode.

My brother Jeff LOVED Spy Hunter when he was little.   On one of my classic game collections, he sat there and played it for like, two hours straight one time when he was five.

My favorite Marvel character is not Captain Marvel.  I didn't even know who that was until I played Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite.  Not sure how she's going to save the day when all those other super heroes couldn't.  What do you know about that character?  Anything cool I would like?

My favorite Marvel character is one I didn't know about until I played Marvel vs. Capcom 3.  And the only reason why she's my favorite is because Phoenix Wright was in her ending.  Plus she's really strong and also is my favorite color.  That should give you some clues.

I just saw Paddington 2 last night, actually.  It came in the mail via Netflix.  Both Paddingon movies are pretty good little kids films.  Nothing I'd see in a theater, but still fun to watch at home.

As an actress, the lady who played the mom in Paddington can probably change personalities in a drop of a hat.  Heck, in the new Godzilla movie she was a serious military lady.  I just think she's pretty.  Actually a lot of celebrities are pretty, but she stuck out in my mind for some reason.  Not sure why.

But I'll probably skip The Shape of Water unless you can convince me otherwise.  Besides, I already know the shape of water.  It's blobby and all liquidy.

I did see Scott Pilgrim at home and just didn't like it.  I don't even think I watched it all the way through.  I dunno, just didn't click with me.

When Krull was in theaters I was just a iittle kid, so I didnt see it then.  But years later when it was on HBO I watched it.  Did you know there was a Krull arcade game back then?

I don't think I've seen Krull since then, so it'll be fun to watch it again on Rifftrax.  Now that I'm older, I have a better appreciation for all those cheesy barbarian fantasy movies that were so popular in the 80s.  I think my favorites of that time are Dark Crystal (because Jim Henson) and Red Sonja because...well just because.

Rifftrax is doing another theater showing of Space Mutiny, but that was already on MST3K so I will skip out on that one since it'll probablly have most of the same jokes.

You know I never really got into Xenophobe that much.  But it sure was popular. I remember seeing it in nearly every arcade when it was new.

I'm just wondering if they wrote themselves into a corner with Infinity War.

Yeah it would be cool to be as strong as the Street Fighter characters.  I do exercise and work out, and I'm a lot stronger than I look, but there's no way I could be as buff as any of those guys!  But at least I can lift up toilets and bathtubs and 75 lb. bags of concrete where I work. But I probably couldn't fight my way out of a paper bag.  I'd rather give people presents than fight them.  Too bad you can't do that in Street Fighter!

Can you guess who my favorite Street Fighter character is?

Have you tried the new Rayman 2-D games, like Rayman Legend and Origins?  The controls on those games are super smooth.  Even better than the controls in some of the new Super Mario games!

I didn't play much of the 3-D Rayman games, but I do have a good E3 memory involving Ubisoft.  When they first showed off Rayman 2, they had a stage show where you could get called up on stage in front of a green screen, and look like you were interacting with Rayman in the game.  When I brought the video tape recording of me on stage, it blew my little brothers' minds!  They thought I was really in a video game and asked me all sorts of questions!

In Skylanders Imaginators, I created a character that looked kind of like She-Hulk, and her battle cry was something like, "Hooray for pizza!" and she had retro game sound effects.

I still kind of wish I could get the Crash and Neo Cortex Skylanders, but stores still want 30 bucks for them!  There is a Sensei Skylander that I thought would be cool to buy called Barbella, but I never got it either.

As much as I like Nintendo, I am getting a litle tired of all the Wii U to Switch ports.  

Of course, I can also be a little hyprocritical because if they ported Wii U Smash Bros. to the Switch with all the DLC, I'd be OK with that.

After five years of being denied a media pass to E3 for some reason, I actually got approved this year somehow.  So I'm going to E3 next month.  

Mario Odyssey is a great game, but I didn't gush over it like many others did.  I actually have put more hours into Kirby Star Allies according to the Switch's log.

I enjoyed Ys 8 but it did have a few problems.  Like you said, it was way overbloated and I didn't like how you had to beat a certain number of missable sidequests to get the best ending.  I still like Ys Seven better.  The blue haired lady in Ys 8 was pretty cool, though.  I also like what one of my brothers called Ys 8: "Jurassic Park: The JRPG."
