Well you have Shovel Knight on your list, so that's good. WayForward's Shantae games are also fantastic. One of my favorite indie games is on the Xbox 360. it's a little old, so it may be hard to find to download, but Protect Me Knight is an awesome game and was made by Yuzo Koshiro's team Ancient.
That's my favorite line. It's also one of my favorite Cartoon Network bumpers. So many funny jokes and parodies.
Curse Turner for taking off their stations from Dish Network! I hate not having Cartoon Network now!
I guess Bayonetta is a little sexist, but nothing I'm going to harp about. About the only thing I would do if I reviewed it was say something like, "Bayonetta has some suggestive themes like such-and-such and is better suited for older gamers." And that's it. And since she has guns on her shoes and has a hair monster attack enemies while eating lollipops, she seems more silly than sexist to me.
Really what bothered me more about Bayonetta was the violence. But then, I know I'm a big baby who mostly just plays kiddy Kirby games, so I'm just not used to that. Plus I just didn't like fighting angels. I like angels, I dont' want to fight them. But did I complain about it? Nah, I just stopped playing the game when it got too yucky for me. I still say it's a great action game, just not entirely my cup of tea. And that's OK. There are lots of good games out there that I don't like as much, but I still recognize their merits.
But just remember, and you should know this better than anyone, that game reviewers aren't perfect either. Lord knows I've written some reviews when I wasn't at my best, and I'm sure it's happened to others as well.
One last thing. The only part of the Wii U Bayonetta game that I'd like to try is that I hear you can dress her up in Nintendo costumes. I think it would be funny to have her run around in Peach's dress. Yes, I know I'm silly. --Cary
I was sad about that Double Dragon Neon review, too. I guess he just didn't want a silly Double Dragon game. I loved it, though, even if it was a little on the hard side.
I was also sad when they bashed Ni no Kuni on IGN. I liked it. But hey, what do I know? I've only been reviewing games for nearly 20 years. :)
I remember waking up one morning in late 1991-early 1992 on Saturday in hopes of watching Garfield and Friends and Super Mario World and being sorely disappointed when all I got was news.
I loved that you said "Disney owns everything." I'd love to see Muppet Babies on DVD.
I couldn't stand Pee Wee's Playhouse. Only reason why I saw it was it came on right before Muppet Babies.
"Someday we'll be as developed as you!"
One cool thing about Wreck-It Ralph is that Disney got Buckner and Garcia to do a Wreck-It Ralph song!
They're Twinkies!
Remember that even though you're older than me, a lot of those cartoons you listed were on reruns when I was watching, so I saw them, too! Looney Tunes on Saturday mornings were always a staple. Scooby Doo was and is always popular. And I certainly remember Fat Albert. One of the only 'good' things Filmation did. And don't feel stupid about Hong Kong Phooey. That was a great show with some great voice acting. My brother Jeff loves that show and can sing the theme song! I have him classically trained in cartoons.
I was lucky because back in those days, I was an only child and got the TV to myself! I didn't get all my little brothers until I was nearly out of high school! But having the TV until 11 isn't too bad. Most of the good stuff was over by then. :)
Thanks to you and everyone for reading my blog!
