We got two. Nice that we didn’t get the same toys. Just Wolvie and Storm to go now.
I see you’ve finally figured out how to get me to visit your restaurant, Dave.
I was still about three months from existing for the bicentennial, but it was always a treat finding one of these in growing up. I don’t know if you were in Texas for the 1986 sesquicentennial there, but that had a vibe I would have expected for America at 250. One that’s definitely tainted.
Ha! From the unfinished sequel to my retro superhero games book I never released:
It’s more like Acclaim was asking Spidey to “put a start” to a sales boost for their game with a one-level cameo.
A couple years ago, as a guest on VGA, I announced was working on an audiobook version of my book about Star Wars games available at ScorpionVader.com. It's out now! Just so happens that the "Greatest Moments in Star Wars Games" chapter answers the QOTW.
I guess they didn’t do a “sequel,” but I think it’s safe to say I nailed this one.
Do you cover audiobooks? Happy to hook you up with an Audible freebie code (even if you don't cover audiobooks). Here's a quick excerpt somewhat in line with the current box office champ: youtu.be/aAhP1RjrMCI Available to the masses via ScorpionVader.com. But just DM me if you want one. 😀
quote with a fictional band that is not Spinal Tap I cocreated The Original Sÿnz for Zen Studios' CastleStorm 2. I'd be (pleasantly) shocked if you played CS2 at all, much less made it halfway through the second campaign—but it was a ton of fun to write Satan reuniting with his estranged bandmates.
Not every day your YouTube feed feeds you something with YOU in it (3:36 and 4:20). youtu.be/p_Suy_Q2D6A?... Almost exactly 27 years ago (yikes!), my friend Dan and I waited for the Memphis midnight debut of The Phantom Menace. And I'm just now learning we made it on TV.
I don’t get to concerts often these days—but two of my favorite’90s bands on one bill? So copacetic! So help me, Jesus!
I’ve always had a passing interest in Kingdom Hearts, but never enough to actually play. One of the least popular Disney movies is probably its most game-friendly untapped setting, and I’ll totally be there if KH realizes that.
Finally watched -- and really enjoyed -- The Punisher: One Last Kill last night. Subtitle kinda undersells it...
I’m sure you’ve both heard this, but someone needs to include this tidbit in this thread…
Am I the first to report that that he’s a reporter? youtu.be/GTQ8aRIHsr4?... That cartoon was basically Superman with just the Daily Planet stuff. Frogger was Clark, the girl frog was Lois, the photographer turtle was Jimmy, and they reported to a total Perry White.
I don’t know what’s crazier—that Edge of Time had the best version of that suit…or that Edge of Time is somehow FIFTEEN YEARS OLD now. Something I just recently learned: He was called “the Unknown Super Hero” as a nod to this guy, who was super popular at the time of ASM 258.
