Back in his day, he was the king of Mario and he was the cool kid at school and all the girls sat with him at lunch.

Mario Odyssey seemed weird to me when I started playing. Not the controls or the difficulty curve, the look and feel. The juxtaposition of Mario and all the related Nintendo characters and objects with a super realistic depiction of an alternate Earth made me wonder where this idea came from.

But the more I’ve played it, the more natural it feels, as strange as that is. The controls are so precise and reliable. There are parts that frustrate me, but if I work at them I eventually overcome whatever obstacle it was. Now I find myself just thinking about it fondly and wanted to jump back in and redo parts I enjoyed.

It’s on the same level as Wonder for me. Wonder for being the best example of traditional and contemporary Mario, and Odyssey for throwing all the rules out the window and still feeling like a Mario game.

Maybe Abe Simpson should get a pro controller.

Then credit them, cowards.

I’ve always wanted to know how feasible and cost-effective it would be to buy a bunch of dead iPhones, rip out the camera module, and turn them into home security cameras.

Fear not, there’s a new Ghosts of Tsushimi in the works.

That looks like Picard wearing a smoking jacket.

This is what that tenth dentist wants.

I think they need to learn this lesson the hard way.

I love how the soundtrack for that whole scene was just someone holding a note on a bagpipe.

We don’t talk about MKII in real life for the same reason they don’t talk about MKIII in-universe.

A little creepy how Zuckerberg now looks a bit like Cumberbatch as Sherlock from 15 years back.

(That Sherlock series is now 15 years old!)
