Most of Mario’s foes are comically evil; they’re doing the whole “take over the world” or “kidnap the princess” thing, but they’re so goofy that you really never take them seriously. Super Paper Mario’s Count Bleck isn’t like that though. He’s got a funny name and odd manner of speaking, but he poses a real…

Spooptober： Unagi the Eel is Just Chillin’
Hello everyone and welcome back to Spooptober! We’re all psyched to be bringing it back for Halloween this year since, frankly, it’s a perfect year for it. There’s been plenty of truly scary stuff in 2022 already, so why not take some time to focus on our favorite spooks who turned out to not be…
I’m Still Not a Big Fan of Super Mario 64
I don’t really like Super Mario 64. There, I said it. I understand that the game was a big deal for its time, considering it was one of the first 3D platformers ever made. While that is certainly something to be admired, I never really had the best opinion of this game. In fact, I…
Top 6 Worst Stars in Super Mario 64
Super Mario 64 may have been a classic of its time, but that didn’t prevent it from being a major pain as far as certain stars were concerned. I was able to complete the game 100% years ago, and I attempted the feat once more during my recent recording of the game for YouTube. As…
Top 10 Worst Shine Sprites in Super Mario Sunshine
Having recently replayed Super Mario Sunshine on the Switch, my newest attempts at 100% were filled with plenty of fun…and plenty of utter aggravation. I had nearly forgotten how truly terrible some of these Shines are to collect, and I wanted to list my top ten worst Shines in the game, complete with a few…
2021’s Most Played Switch Game Was…Fortnite. Wow.
As is typical of the New Year’s season, there’s really not all that much to talk about in terms of gaming news. I mean sure, Square Enix really stepped in it with that NFT nonsense, but I don’t really want to talk about NFts at them moment (who does? they’re so stupid!) So, how about…
[Revisited] It Finally Happened. I’m Now A Huge Fan of the Nintendo Switch
As the year winds down and we all settle-in for our New Year’s festivities, I find myself looking back a bit. Now that I’ve gotten onboard the current generation with an Xbox Series S, I can’t help but ponder a bit on how the last one started. In particular, I find myself thinking about the…
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is Truly Charming
When I picked up Mario + Rabbids Kindgom Battle earlier this year, I knew I was in for a treat, but I had no clue of just how rewarding an experience it would be. The game had long been on my radar, but with so much else jockeying for my attention, it slowly faded from…
Nintendo’s New Switch Looks Cool, But…
So, Nintendo launched a new version of the Switch last week: the Nintendo Switch (OLED Model). It looks nice, and it has some nice changes. However, this isn’t an upgrade in the same vein as upgrades for previous Nintendo consoles. In fact, it’s so in substantial that I can’t help but wonder who exactly this…
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle First Impressions
In hindsight, I’m not sure if I picked the best or worst time to play Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle (Switch, 2017). When I got it a few weeks ago, I knew that Mass Effect Legendary Edition was in the wings, and I was already headlong into my Mass Effect: Andromeda replay. As well, Neverwinter…
