Earlier, I sang “I’m bringing smooching back” to my partner, a mistake that got SexyBack stuck in my head.

After like 10 mins I realized that for some reason, the little “yup!” that Wind Waker Link makes when he jumps had at some point supplanted the dude yelling “YEAH,” and all was right again.

But obsessed fans are the only real reason I want to be on the internet.
I try not to be an obsessed TMBG fan I swear to god

But they included a unique song in the Commentary track for a DVD of their music videos released over 20 years ago

I think about this song like All The Time

Not even going to tell you where it is, just listen

Can’t believe Rian Johnson is going to make muppet knives out
Am I a hypocrite for wanting this after giving a hard no to muppet knives out
Okay, I'm making my case for the only Muppet I want to see on Broadway right now...

Okay I'm doing it. Live now! www.twitch.tv/blunderchief

What if, in celebration of the coming of Metroid prime 4, I made it my goal to finally beat Metroid: Other M?

And what if I streamed myself doing so? I have no idea if I actually have the time to do this, but I’m tempted to try, anyway.

Tired: lettuce on your sandwich.

Wired: salt-and peppered, crispy kale that you cooked in a little butter on your sandwich. (Especially if you made more than you needed, because now you have a delightful snack.)

One of the first things I thought when I saw this pitch in my inbox is that I want to invite a friend over just so I can hand this to them as we boot up Smash Bros. www.ign.com/articles/loo...

Still wild that Apple got sued by the company that made the shirts and hats that signified which ones were the cool kids at my middle school.

The problem with the NPC in Metroid Prime 4 isn’t that he talks a lot. It’s that he’s not voiced by Rob Paulsen.

And while we’re at it I never need to play another video game with:

- an instant fail forced stealth mission
- a follow-a-guy-but-not-too-close-or-you-fail mission
- an “oops you lost all your gear!” Mission
- an encumbrance mechanic
