All I can see is Daffy Duck standing upon a horde of zombies a la Doom Guy, saying "Get DUCKED." 

I get where the modem/router comparisons come from, but to me it looks like a spaceship, and I like the aesthetic. I like new consoles to have a "futuristic" look. 

That Dream at the end of the World book sounds great. I love "Outshined" off Badmotorfinger. SuperUnknown is currently the CD in my car. "Fell on Black Days" is probably my favorite there, along with a song with the lyrics, "thought it was the end, thought it was the 4th of July" which I can't remember if I heard before on radio or not. 

I definitely need to watch Slacker. I'm always reminded it exists when I watch Clerks. I watched She's Gotta Have it on Netflix the other day and along with Do the Right Thing, I see a LOT of Spike Lee in Kevin Smith's early work. Mostly in the way characters talk, how slice-of-life everything is, and the overall film techniques being used. 

I don't think I was even alive when MTV was just music ...

What was the duck connection with Borderlands 3? Does it have a quack gun? It should.

I was only born in 1990, so I can't speak for the general popularity of ants, but ant farms were definitely a thing!

I'm pretty stoked for Spider-Man Miles Morales, but I don't know if I'll buy a PS5 right away. I was waiting for them to announce a price, and them not doing so makes me think it's on the expensive side. 

Haha stupid Nintendo, getting hacked. This will never happen to my Sony ...

You should play it; it's actually pretty good, if memory serves.

Stage Select: ???

I guess .. Trinity? From the Tomb Raider reboots.

Whatever religion the Zelda gods are based on?

And uh ... hey, Christianity is a big Castlevania theme. 

That's all I got.

Cage Match: Super Mario World, which is 100% due to my age and experiences. I remember Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt and Super Mario World more than any other Mario games. Guess SMB3 fever skipped over my older brother. 

SMW Mario sits on SMB3 Mario and wins Rikishi-style cause his 16-bit ass is just bigger. 

Good thoughts and all the best to your family and you!
