So much about the Dreamcast was so far ahead of its time. It really is just a shame. 

How large are the figures? I've never really been into these myself, but I guess I could stand to decorate ... some day. 

What are the 80s arcade games, besides Pac Man? I think most everything I remember of arcades was released in the 90s. 

I wouldn't rank SMK or any of its sequels quite that high on my personal list, but I can understand why you would. 

I'm guessing Sonya and ... idk. I usually just guess female fighters for your favorites, and I forget who those are in MK, since even she was a last-minute add for more diversity in the first one. I saw the movie on Netflix recently and thought it wasn't necessarily a good movie, but it was GREAT fan service and at least fun to watch. 

Sonic 2 is probably my favorite Sonic game. I disagree with the inclusion of Tails being its only redeeming factor, especially since I never play as him. lol 

Yeah, Star Fox was mindblowing on SNES, and then Star Fox 64 is something that made me think, "we will never surpass these graphics." Funny how things change. 

I'm somewhat the opposite on MMX and MMX2. I rented both often enough, but I definitely remember a lot more about 2. 

Yeah, Earthworm Jim was just frustrating for little me. 

Turns out, Earthbound actually released in the U.S. in '95. I didn't check the release closely enough on Wikipedia, which is already a bad source, so take these blogs with a grain of salt. 

I'd say Jade would be your favorite KI character ... once again, only female one I can think of. She has a green outfit too, which I remember being a color you like? I think?

Apparently, the Miyamoto quote is that people will put up with mediocre gameplay if something looks pretty. A GameFAQs commenter said he was working on Yoshi's Island at the time and felt pressured to make it look similar to DKC? That doesn't make much sense to me. Again, grain of salt: http://www.ign.com/articles/2010/06/17/e3-2010-shigeru-miyamoto-likes-donkey-kong-country-after-all?page=3

So I guess he liked the game fine and some rumor got started cause of mistranslating. IDK. I kind of doubted it, but I'd heard it so often ... I'll update this blog. 

I asked for a Jim Beam and Dr. Pepper at an open bar in Ohio once. She thought I must be a little kid not to ask for a jack and coke. I was 21 at the time and had left my ID ... 

Mac and cheese and broccoli sounds nice.

Congrats to the couple!

PepsiCo owns both products so they'd still get a cut of all the money. My roommate also skipped half time. 

DK Country definitely has its hard moments. Damn cart evels.

I had way too much Super Bowl food, myself. You ever drink beer, eat coookies and hamburgers and try playing soccer? It is painful.

Yeah, this was when most of the games I played during my childhood were coming out. I'd say '94 is when I actually started playing video games. MAYBE '93. 

I honestly remember playing NES Bionic Commando through an emulator, so on mouse and keyboard, and finding that version clunky and frustrating. I guess it just has to be played on an NES. 

I usually don't download all my games, but there are definitely titles where I look in my PS4 library and go, "oh right I have that."

I guess Caddyshack was released this year. I saw the Netflix movie about the National Lampoon guy, called A Futile and Stupid Gesture the other day. I quite enjoyed it. 

LOL I love that One Punch Man has an action figure considering what the show is about.
