Players of today, consider yourselves damned lucky you never have to go through the pain of having to fight this guy and his knock-over-the-edge nonsense ^^;

Despite its general reputation for kid-friendly adorableness, I just love how the Kirby games always manage to slip in nightmare fuel and eldritch abominations. It's such a contrast that I just can't help but feel that there's a single guy on the game's team who just really wants to give kids a really creepy moment in every single game. If so, I salute them :)

Update: It didn't pan out ^^;

You know, random thought, just for once, I'm gonna put the milk in my bowl before the cereal. Just to see how that pans out :)

Oh no, I've just realised, we're now already a quarter of the way finished with the 21st Century 0_0

Happy New Year to you all! Hope 2025 will be good to you :)

Spoilers for the ending of Sonic 3 below.

So, after much speculation, we get our confirmation that Amy Rose is now in the Sonic movies. Now, I've been an Amy fan for years, so I'm thrilled to see our girl make her big-screen debut. And given how successful the movie has been, I don't doubt we'll get a fourth entry where she can truly shine.

However, there are one or two things I want to get off my chest. Firstly, I feel she should have been a part of things sooner than she was. She did, after all, arrive in the franchise before even Knuckles back in the day, so having to wait until after both him and Shadow before we got to her feels somewhat disrespectful to her character.

And speaking of Shadow, there's something else that's been taken from her. I realise that you can't always have your movie adaptation be like the games, but one of Amy's biggest moments from those games was that she was the one who ultimately swayed Shadow against his destructive path. Instead, that moment was given to the other characters of the movie, like Sonic. So right off the bat, she's been undermined in terms of what she brought to the table.

Look, I don't mean to bash the movies. They've been great so far. But speaking for myself, I just feel like Amy has been done dirty. Maybe I'll be wrong and they'll do great things with her in future. I hope they do, so I guess we'll wait and see :)

I've known a lot of PCs over the years, but looking back, I don't think any of them ever managed to top the pure aesthetic of these bad boys right here :)

As great as Astro Bot is, one common point raised against it is the lack of any characters of the Final Fantasy franchise, which was seen as odd given how big that series was to the Playstation brand. Now, the way I heard it was that Square Enix didn't consent for their characters to be referenced, and if that's the case then I respect their choice. However, if they ever change their minds, and Team Asobi need to decide which FF character they put in first, I think I have a good idea which one would work best with the bot design ;)

Merry Christmas to all. Hope the day treats you well :)

Oh no. Netflix, please, don't do this to me. I'm not sure how much my heart can take :(

Ten years. And still one of the greatest things Cartoon Network ever gave us :)

You know, for a show that's about as un-Disney as you can get, it's amazing how well that studio's songs work with it ^_^

There is no way that I'm the only one who sees this comparison, right? A brooding genetically-engineered character, created to be some superior form of life, who was made in secret and who was deeply affected by the loss of a young girl they were best friends with who was related to their creator. Now, I'm not saying Nintendo or Sega copied one another's homework, but I kinda can't avoid seeing it now ^^;

When considering the situation of all of the characters who are trapped in the Circus, one thing sticks out to me. Kinger has been outright stated as being there longer than any other. And out of the entire cast, he's the only one who suffers with things like memories and general awareness. The third episode certainly suggests that he's suffered the trauma of losing his wife, but I wonder also if his condition is a result of simply having been in that place for too long. That long-term exposure to this digital environment has a detrimental effect on people's minds, with the abstraction of his wife being one of those events which served to hasten that process. Either way, it doesn't bode well for anyone else there :(

Okay, I have no idea what kind of nightmarish, twisted imagination over at Gooseworx spawned this type of heart-stopping and horrific image, but on the off-chance that you happen to see this post, then I just want to say to you...please continue, because I love this stuff ^_^

I know it's a simple thing, but I've always been fond of the old trope of things being in complete darkness, with the only part of our characters that we can see being their eyes. It's something every single one of us likely has seen in animation at least once, and I'd wager that every animated show out there has employed that cliché at some point in their episodes. I suppose I like it because of just how expressive the characters can be when it's just their eyes that are visible and moving. So much personality from a single body part, a testament to what animation can do :)
