I LOVE the Game & Watch Gallery games!  I wish they would make more of them (I think WarioWare kind of replaced them, though).  Did you know the G&W Gallery games were made by TOSE?  They also did Starfy, and a bunch of other games, too.  TOSE is always kind of 'behind the scenes.'

I apologize if I sound cocky, but if I am reading your description of Chef correctly, you might not be playing it right.  You're not supposed to flip the food until it burns.  You're supposed to flip it until it's cooked (darker shade than original, but not as dark as being burned).  Then you DON'T flip it and let Yoshi catch it and eat it.  You'll earn lots of points by feeding him cooked food instead of raw or burnt food.  And eventually, he'll lay an egg and it'll turn into a baby Yoshi, grow up, and then that will be the Yoshi you feed!  You get lots of points by doing that, so try playing it that way next time you play it.

I just mentioned one of the Game & Watch Gallery games on my new blog, too!  What a coincidence!

(I love that bottom picture where Bowser is tickling Toad)

(And I really like the music in the DK game)

Is that their only purpose in the game?  To give you ink?

While you're in the 90's, you'll have to watch Mystery Science Theater 3000 sometime, too.

I know Ultros is an enemy you can fight in the Theatrhythm games, and that he's a summon in the FF Dissidia games, but that's all I know.  I hope someone who has played the more recent FF games can come forth and let us know if Ultros is in any other games.  By the way, if you have a PSP, you should get the Dissidia games, they're really good!

I knew about Octodad a long time ago, too, because my brother Jeff kept up with indie PC games like that.

I just thought of another cool video game squid: Ikachan, which was the 'prequel' to Cave Story.

Oh cool, if you can play The Maw on Steam, too, then that's good.

The Mega Man Anniversary Collection was great.  There is a new one coming out called the Mega Man Legacy Collection, but it will only have 1 to 6.  Why less games?  I don't know.

I'm actually thinking about starting a podcast with my brothers.

Yeah Nintendo can be pretty creative when they want to be.

It's been a while, but I think I wrote in my review that Runner could've used a checkpoint system.  Super Meat Boy made a cameo appearance in one of the Bit.Trip games.

Yeah the N64 was the first time that I got another company's game console.  I still liked the N64, don't get me wrong, but I was reviewing games for The Dallas Morning News at the time, and there just wasn't enough on the N64 for me to keep constant content in the paper.  So even though I really couldn't afford it (poor college student), I bought a PlayStation.  One of the best gaming purchases I ever made, and I was reviewing games left and right after that.  Of course I've never given up on Nintendo.  In fact, the Wii U is the only new next gen console I own right now.  I loved the 360 and PS3, but the Xbox One and PS4 just don't have enough games that interest me right now.
