BOOOO!

Actually I liked that. I like bad jokes.

I didn't watch the eclipse.  I missed out on getting any of the special glasses.  But after thinking about it, I didn't feel too bad.  I've been reading reports of some glasses being faulty, and my vision is bad enough as it is, I didn't want to chance making it worse.  Plus I had to get ready for work when it was happening.

Speaking of which, i work at a hardware store and we sell welding equipment, including helmets and glasses.  Over the past couple of days, I've been getting TONS of customers asking for welding goggles.  None of the ones we sell are strong enough to view the eclipse with.  The next day I went to work, all the welding glasses were gone.  I sure hope the customers did their research and took caution since I wasn't there to warn them!

The really big Kong in DK64 was Chunky Kong.  He was a hell of a guy, according to the DK rap.  Chunky was big, but he was also a bit of a coward.  If you highlighted him on the character select screen, he'd shake his head no, point to the Kong next to him, and whisper, "Pick Tiny."  And when you'd move away from him on that screen, instead of being disappointed, he'd wipe his brow and go "Whew!"  He only appeared in DK64, but his little brother, Kiddy Kong, was playable in Donkey Kong Country 3.  Man I know way too much DK lore.

My favorites are Twintelle, Mechanica, and MIn Min, but I'm too lazy to post a video of them.

ARMS is fun, but in my opinion, Pokken Tournament is a better game.  It has deeper gameplay, yet is still easy to pick up and play like ARMS is.  And Pokken has a more robust single player experience, too.

Oh that's interesting.  I guess you don't have to have the amiibo to get the statues of them in the game then.

After I had scanned ALL the compatible amiibo in the game (you get 200 Sparklium for each one), I already halfway to the Sparklium goal, and I was only on the second world!

I first played Pac-Man when I was five.

Well, the first two, Olimar and the Pikmin amiibo will work and give you a statue.  Now, is your Bowser statue from the Smash Bros. series or the Mario series?  If it's from the Mario series then it'll give you a statue in the game, too.  The rest are not compatible.  The amiibo figures that will give you statues in the Hey! Pikmin game are any of the ones from the Mario series, most of the Splatoon series, and ALL of the Animal Crossing series.  And the Pikmin and Olimar ones, too.  I'm actually about to start writing an article about the amiibo compatibility in Hey! Pikmin that'll post at GamerDad at the end of the month

Oh I still remember the Atari days very well, though.  I guess I was playing games at an early age.  In fact, the reason why I didn't get a NES right away was because I was perfectly happy playing Pengo on my Atari 5200.

Darkwing's car?!?  Darkwing doesn't have a car.  He has a motorcycle and an airplane.  The airplane is called the Thunderquack.  That Disney Emoji game just got a bit more interesting.  Too bad I don't really use emojis.  By the way, the new DuckTales cartoon just came out on Disney XD.  I watched it and it was quite good.
