Pokemon FireRed (Switch) - Thoughts

 Pokemon's 30th anniversary passed on by, giving us the remakes of the original two games that started it all to play on our switches, and giving me a chance to experience Kanto again in a retro style, given all the advancements that pokemon had experiences, especially in the past Decade. And how was it?

It was fantastic. It is certainly not something we should go back to, but as a look back at the roots, Pokemon FireRed is one of the perfect ways the series could be looked at, like a time capsule of the past to experience time and again.

GreenAcres the Venusaur
Kinnikuman the Primeape
Mimien the Mr. Mime
Sunshine the Flareon (Once again proving Flareon can hold it's own alongside it's evolutionary cousins)

Super Mario Odyssey (Switch) - Review

 I love the idea of this game, that Mario failed in his initial effort to save the Princess, and now has to travel the world chasing after Bowser to put right what once went wrong and finally put Bowser in his place with this current scheme, and especially given the new mechanics of this game given with Cappy, your new companion for the game, it really does add a lot of movement to the game and helps add to the already wide variety of moves that Mario has at his disposal.

I think my only problem is that the game is FAR too expansive for a normal player, and I mean that in terms of I set myself a goal to get just to the Wedding and stop, no content from the Moon in this review, and I still nearly got Nearly 300 Moons, with almost 600 still to get.

While I am a bit niffed at that number, I still find it hilarious that the Moon count is 999.

Moon Count: 275

Whose Line Hoedown - Reality TV

 Can someone explain something to me, something super important to know,
Why is Reality TV such a hit for so many, and I'm counting even the oldest shows,
You're telling me that Star Trek gets two seasons, or that Firefly barely got one,
and yet Survivor gets nearly 40 without a second thought?

Donkey Kong (NES) - Review

 The opening title of two franchises that have spanned over 40 years, both beginning as mortal foes, and changing after so many years, developing their own stories and characters, both beginning as Mario (Jumpman), the Carpenter trying to stop the Rampaging Donkey Kong from running away with his at the time Girlfriend (And future Mayor of New Donk City) Pauline, using nothing more but ingenuity and his jump to trick the Gorilla into a situation to knock him out and save the fair maiden.


40 Years, and this is where it all began.

Whose Line Hoedown - Roads

 A New driver on the road, Following the letter to the petal,
He doesn’t notice much besides what’s in his view and mirrors,
When he got in trouble, he almost slammed his foot to the metal,
When he was accused of cutting off another driver who couldn’t be much clearer!

Whose Line Hoedown - Going Bald

 As I sit here in the month of my birth, at the Age of 27,
A worry begins to settle over me, one of quiet desperation.
For you see, most of the men in my family lost their hair over time after 30,
So my genuine fear is this, when will my dome be revealed, all barren and shiny?

Whose Line Hoedown = Movie Theater

 When I last went to the Movie Theater, it was before the Dreaded Decade,
I sat there in the middle of the rows with my friend, who helped with my Anxiety Aid,
We sat there silently for 10 or 20 minutes, watching the warm up screens,
Before the horrible realization, we walked in on the wrong movie scene!

Final Fantasy 1 (Pixel Remaster, Switch) - Review

 One of the groundbreaking RPGs which led the genre out of the darkness into the light, based off of DnD 1st Edition, and with it's simple but complex story of four heroes from who knows where put on a path of spiraling time loops to finally put an end to all of the Madness, and finally put the kingdom to rest, to stop the Fields from destroying the Crystals of the world and to lead Chaos to his Doom.

Edward, Red Wizard
Clair, White Wizard
Viktor, Black Wizard
Richard, Knight

Their names shall live on, for putting themselves in the mortal danger to save the Kingdom, and the world.

Stupid Mario Brothers Season 2 (Web-Series) - Review

 What a changeup from the Previous season. A Show about Mario and Luigi fighting to stay on vacation. turning into a dangerous life or death struggle, or rather, the long beginning of one, for the Real World with Mario leading the charge alongside his brother, joined by the arriving Brock, the Escaped Link, and the young boy Ness, all gathered together for one cause, to protect the real world from adversaries that have closed off the pathways back to their respective homes.

The first of such is that of Nox Decious, a Villain from the times of Arthur Pendragon, and the first step towards something that slowly leaks and ebbs from him. For when even he speaks of the Darkness, he refers to it as something not of himself, and especially when it came to his downfall, the shocked expression upon his face as he fell to the ground...

Finally, that cliffhanger. Wario now holds the NetherSaber, and has destroyed Nox Decious. But Mario is without a Saber of his own, and is in terrible danger. How will he get out of this one?

Next Season is when I officially got into the Series. And This is when the Real World's Dangers, have only just begun to show themselves.

Stupid Mario Brothers Season 1 (Web-Series) - Review

 Welcome to one of the most prolific and well-remembered web series outside of the review shows that really captured the life of the ancient and wild west days of YouTube, Hidden behind the Let's Plays and who knows what else, was a story about Mario and Luigi having a vacation in the real world, after the Olympic Games of 2008 (Nearly 20 years ago...), when Bowser becomes bored and angry at the amount of time they are spending over there, he sends Wario, and eventually, Waluigi, to go bring the Mario Brothers back to the Kingdom to go through his worlds.

During this struggle, as simple as it was in Season 1, is Ash Ketchum taking his OWN vacation in the real world, the feuding deliverymen searching to overtop each other, and Donkey Kong, who came to the real world for as of yet unknown reasons.

Season 1 even ends in the first Beam Sword duel of the series between Mario and Wario, in which Wario is defeated by, of all people, Peach and her Umbrella!

But now....Are they just to return to the Mushroom Kingdom? And What about that Letter from Hyrule?
