The saddest thing about rewatching The Critic is how many of their movie parodies are basically like these unspeakably awful ideas for films. Like stuff Hollywood should never even consider making.
Ya know like...Jurassic Park 2. Home Alone 5. A third Ghostbusters...Texas Chainsaw Massacre 4...

I'm a huge fan of unicorn depictions where they have beards and lion-like tails. Just something to make them seem slightly more fantastical than "Horse, but with horn"

Right? Yeah, I haven't played this game in forever, but I remember liking it (and having a huge crush on Carrie) so I was surprised and a bit happy to get an email like this. I genuinely hope we can find that DLC for them!

I don't have this, but is there anybody out there who can help Kevin out? @didyouknowgaming.com, I know game preservation is important to you. Mind spreading the word and seeing if we can find it?

Mine said that my most watched thing throughout the entire year was “Zelda gameplays”

A very specific thing that I love is what I can only refer to as Christmaspunk
Like the idea of taking colors, music, and symbols of Christmas and just making them seem like engaging fantasy worlds
Ebenezer and the Invisible World is a great example, or any music from the Trans-Siberian Orchestra
