I'm a fan of hand drawn animation, especially 1940s Disney and Looney Tunes cartoons, and Studio Ghibli. I also love 1990s Disney animation. I love video games, mainly 3d platformers like Mario, Sonic, Banjo Kazooie, and Conker.

I've been watching "Community" for the first time. So far this scene gave me the biggest laugh.

( boing boing boing) "Wooh! Whee!"

Good, I've been sick of comic book movies.

For crying out loud... Ever since Trump sold out America to the Middle-East, Twitter has been flooded with annoying Middle East posts and politics...

I honestly miss being able to unlock infinite flight and temporary invincibility. It added such freedom to the original game. I still hate the Kartos sections, and think they're annoying as heck, especially for gold ranking. Glad they ditched the honey power up.

Despite the glitches and crashes, I enjoyed Yooka Replayee more than the original, but I thought the new cutscenes were lazy and worse than the original game. The ending to the first game was a flat out animated cutscene with the cast, in Replayee, it was a short slideshow.

If anyone is interested in getting Yooka-Replayee, avoid the Switch 2 version. Within 12 hours, it crashed on me 10 times. It especially made playing through the casino level painful. Crashing in that level means you'll lose all the chips you've earned that weren't exchanged.

Ugh... Yooka-Replayee crashed on me 5 times already on Switch 2, and always at the most inconvenient moments, like right after completing a mission before collecting a Pagie, or the middle of a boss fight... I should have bought it for another console...

SpongicX @spongicx.bsky.social · 7d

A strange glitch occurred in Yooka-Replayee.

SpongicX @spongicx.bsky.social · 7d

Ugh... Yooka-Replayee on Switch 2 crashed on me twice already. Both during the Rextro arcade games...

SpongicX @spongicx.bsky.social · 7d

I haven't played it yet, but I love how Yooka-Replayee is only $30, and only $20 for those who already bought the original digitally. More companies could learn from Playtonic, that's how remakes and rereleases should be treated.

I honestly don't understand the love for Demon Slayers. I tried watching the show after hearing the new movie did well. Despite having some okay first episodes. The show got annoying fast. Yes, the action scenes look great, but the characters are so annoying to watch/ listen to.

I just got "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" on Blu Ray today. It was my first time seeing it. This is a great movie! I laughed and cried with this one. Not bad for Studio Chizu's first movie. Looking forward to "Scarlet"

That McDonald's Monopoly promotion is such a rip-off. The app had trouble signing me in and registering. I scanned a piece that said I won 4 Mcnuggets, and I could claim it in the rewards section, but when I clicked on it, it said I had no rewards...

SpongicX @spongicx.bsky.social · 10d

It may be messed up, but the English dub of the "Ghost Stories" anime is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. The bunny episode had me laughing the hardest.

Oh man, I finally started watching "Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood." I couldn't find the original show, but the more faithful remake is on Netflix. I came across the infamous 4th episode people still talk about. I can see why people consider that the most traumatizing episode.

SpongicX @spongicx.bsky.social · 11d

I just saw a very underrated anime film on HBO Max called "The Lonely Castle in the Mirror." That was a good and emotional mystery film.
8/10

SpongicX @spongicx.bsky.social · 12d

Oh cool! "Your Name" is on HBO Max. I just saw the movie on Blu Ray for the first time a few months ago, great movie!

I swear, Sonic Racing CrossWorlds online is less about racing, and more about grinding players against the wall, it's brutal...

SpongicX @spongicx.bsky.social · 15d

Playing Sonic Racing CrossWorlds online is so much better than Mario Kart. The rating system is fair and doesn't subtract points for no reason.

SpongicX @spongicx.bsky.social · 15d

Damn, Berri missed out on finally getting her first figure...

SpongicX @spongicx.bsky.social · 20d

Sonic Racing CrossWorlds should have had Batman and the Batmobile playable, especially after the Sonic DC crossover comics and merch.

SpongicX @spongicx.bsky.social · 20d

These just arrived in the mail. Sonic as the Flash, Amy as Wonder Woman, and Silver as Green Lantern. Hard to believe these are official. I wanted to get Shadow Batman, but he was exclusive to an overpriced bundle

Screw you Mickey, Nausicaa is awesome!
