Don't forget about Adventures of Pip. That may be this year's Shovel Knight. I'm also looking foward to Mighty No. 9 and Half-Genie Hero. I really don't do kickstarters, but I'll buy them once they're released.
One good downloadable title on the Wii U is Shantae and the Pirate's Curse.
I haven't been able to play Wii U Smash as much as I wanted to.
I did get the first panel cleared in 3DS Smash, but that's not saying much. I nearly cloeared the panels in Kirby Air Ride. That was such a great and underrated game.
I don't know, I don't really keep up with that stuff.
I've never heard of that game. I don't know if I can remember a name that long! :)
My mom got the results back. It's a cyst on her pituitary gland. It sounds bad, but it's really not, and way less worse than a tumor. So I'm happy. Please continue to keep her in your prayers, though. Thanks.
The DS game that I thought really first made good use of the touch screen was Pac-Pix. Have you ever played that one?
I don't know if Nintendo's the only company doing cool things with graphics, but they are one of the only ones making games that interest me right now.

This weekend I'm going to look at the local rec center and see what they have as far as a gym. It's a little farther to walk than the other gym, and they may not have as good hours, but I'll see this weekend. Might also get some equipment to use at home. Thanks for the tips about videos to watch and such, though.
And you're right, that lady in the video is not hard to look at all.
Wacky Races is one of my favorite HB cartoons. I had the Dreamcast game. I had a problem with the other racers, though. They would all bunch up together so you were either in first or last place. And the rubber-banding AI made sure you were always last. I'm glad to know I wasn't the only one who used cheat codes to unlock all the other racers. It was funny when you would win as Dick Dastardly. The announcer would say, "Dick Dastardly...won?!?"
I never even heard of the Wii game. Guess it's probably good that I didn't. But yeah, I loved the cartoon as a kid. I think it's neat how they made two spinoffs. Wacky Races was poking fun of movies like The Great Race, while The Perils of Penelope Pitstop was making fun of The Perils of Pauline and Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines (Stop the Pidgeon) was making fun of Those Amazing Young Men in Their Flying Machines.
Wacky Races was surprisingly popular in Japan. They even had a Wacky Races game on the NES. It was a 2-D platformer starring Muttley and the other racers were the bosses. That game made it to the US NES as well. I wish I had it.
One year at an anime convention I got to meet Don Messick. He did a lot of voices for Hanna Barbera classics. He was the voice of Scooby and Scrappy, Papa Smurf, Boo-Boo, and many more. One of his last voices was Hampton Pig from Tiny Toons. He was also the voice of Muttley (as well as many other Wacky Racers). When I asked him to do Muttley's laugh, he said he could do it much better when he used to smoke! I'm glad I got to meet Don Messick before he passed away.
My favorite Wacky Racer is Prof. Pat Pending in his Convert-A-Car (#3). Also voice by Don Messick. Who is your favorite racer?
Anyway, I told you I'd have a lot to say about Wacky Races. I could say much more, but I'll leave it at that.
PS: Mario Kart owes everything to Wacky Races.
I don't really play scary games, so I don't have anything to share really. But as a kid, I loved to play the games in the Adventures of Lolo series on the NES. There were these enemies that were like Medusa statues, and if you passed one without anything between you to block them, the statues would turn you to stone. But they made a sound as they shot a ray at you that was loud and all of a sudden and went "SHOOOM!" It would always make me jump! I hated the stages that had the Medusa statues in them!
