So last night I finally watched The Super Mario Galaxy Movie in theaters with friends, and I'm so damn conflicted
It's a ride that was decently paced in the beginning before it speedruns without any time to breathe
As a Mario fan, it's a fun experience. But as an actual film, it heavily suffers
Looking back on this post, I think this would be an interesting story to tell. Throughout my life, I've been told stories about how my grandpa changed the lives of students when he was a basketball coach
It probably won't reach a lot since it's Intellivision, but I still want to write it someday
Someday in the future, I want to let go of my insecurities of what I experienced as a child, but I'm just not there yet
After more than 15 incredible years of making Gaming Historian, I’m moving on to new creative adventures. Thank you for an unforgettable, life-changing journey. I will cherish it forever!

There's always time for fun. It's Friday night.
My review of Killer7, a game I didn't have any fun playing:
Do people actually dislike Pipe Land in SMB3? I admit that I've struggled with that world when I beat the game for the first time back in 2023, but I don't think I have any negative feelings towards that world
Agreed. Every time this topic is brought up, I can never escape it. It's a shame that multiple versions of one game can't co-exist sometimes on modern platforms
That was me with Angel Dream, but at least I finally cleared it
I'm curious about what's everyone's stance on video game remakes
This is a discussion that I feel is never gonna end anytime soon. Words like "replacement," "preservation," and "art" get thrown around, but I feel like it's much more complex than I realize

Mastery #13 - New Super Mario Bros. Wii
To celebrate the release of Wii games having RetroAchievements support, figured I play one myself (originally DKCR)
This was my first NSMB game, and staying up recompleting a childhood game of mine was truly worth it
Love to do more Wii games in the future

Platinum #95 - Shadow of the Colossus (PS4)
To take part in this journey, one must take advantage of Colossi's weak points in a speedy manner and improve oneself in both health and stamina
As that is the true way of mastering the Forbidden Lands
I think I'd rather play a game the way artists designed it to look
So last night, I finished Shadow of the Colossus (PS4). I still love this game, but as remake, it's fine for what it is. Though comparing this to the desaturated look found in the Team ICO trilogy (haven't played TLG yet), this one sticks out like a sore thumb to me

Literally me. I got three games not too long ago with two more arriving in a few days bsky.app/profile/phan...
I say my Saturday night was a good one. Went to a local game store, killed some digital ducks on the PlayChoice-10, and came back home with three games

The government is asking for public comments on whether banks should be able to deny you from buying legal goods at their own whim (i.e. how they're cracking down on art)
