Some will say that I've gone mad. Perhaps they are correct, but here, enjoy a 40,000-word weird history of Mario. Checked names herein: Naomi Watts, Mordito, Giada de Laurentiis, Samantha Mathis, the prophet Ezekiel, the Loch Ness Monster www.thrillingtalesofoldvideogames.com/blog/mario-1...

The Americana playing “The Morning After” feels a little too on the nose.

Marle was stunning at the Met Gala ❤️

To the NINJAGO fans asking me about Treg, Ellie and Henjamin - the answer is no. Nothing I say would be canon. It's the same reason why I won't talk about Portals or Kismet no matter how many times you ask.

Another bad day on the internet before I've finished my coffee. ANIMAL FARM happy ending! Pinhead motivation! Kissing Marilyn Monroe! (And that's not even touching politics and the Supreme Court - yikes.) Hard to escape the feeling that anyone with power is living in a completely different reality.

"bureaucracy" - I have never once spelled it correctly on my first try.

Compilation of the Inner Senshi's special attacks 💦🔥⚡❤️ - Sailor Moon RPG (SNES)

last year i began working on a little ff6 fan visual novel as a proof of concept to possibly make my own original visual novel. i should really get back to it because these terras are maybe some of my best drawings ever.

TODAY IS THE DAY!!! “STRANGER THING: TALES FROM ‘85” is on Netflix RIGHT NOW!! So much love and hard work went into this series, and we couldn’t be more excited to be a part of it!! DROP EVERYTHING AND WATCH RIGHT NOW!!!

The Mario Bros. are not from Brooklyn. And if they were, that would only make their Italian accents even more confusing.

1990 TMNT movie farmhouse convalescence Splinter seance scene:

It's completely unfair for the role of Dan Hibiki, a beloved pillar of his community who sucks in ways that only endear us to him more, to be given to a guy who actually sucks.

How you gonna make coffee without fresh drinking water?

So the big studios are abandoning the US and turning the staff workers into contractors to get out paying for healthcare. The United States is losing one of its defining industries because of not having universal healthcare and the people are going to be even more vulnerable to the industry.

The touching story about how a plumber discovered his own face. Plus fun fact: Luigi did not actually debut in the arcade version of Mario Bros. He showed up before!

So what do we make of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie's one major contribution to the series lore? (Plus a Galaxy-centric explanation why Shigeru Miyamoto doesn't actually hate story in Mario games.) www.thrillingtalesofoldvideogames.com/blog/peach-r...

I do believe there is such a thing as good art and bad art. But I also believe there should be a museum of toy packaging and marketing art so I can stand in front of this Masters of the Universe poster by Earl Norem and talk about its composition like it's The School of Athens

It's not an April Fool's joke, per se, but last week Gayest Episode Ever did its first (and last) hourlong: The Star Trek: TNG with Data's daughter, which is not any one letter of LGBTQ but also kind of all of them? Special guest @mikegizi.bsky.social! www.gayestepisodeever.com/episodes/sta...

WHAT?!! NINJAGO DRAGONS RISING Season 4 DEBUTED at #10 for ALL SHOWS ON NETFLIX?! ALL SHOWS??!! This is the highest debut in Ninjago history!!! We also are the #2 KIDS SHOW on Netflix – and this is all because of the amazing NINJAGO FANS out there!! SPREAD THE WORD!!! NINJA NEVER QUIT!!!

My friends insist you listen to me live-processing the Super Mario Galaxy Movie on today's episode of Nintendo Cartridge Society: pod.link/1163990138/e... Spoiler: I get more down on it the more we talk.

New episodes drop today! (Well, for ME at least.) This is not just the next chapter of DRAGONS RISING but a celebration of fifteen years of NINJAGO. @docwyattbeyond.bsky.social and @kevinburke20.bsky.social are absolutely feeding fans new and old.

Did the 1993 live-action Super Mario Bros. movie help define Luigi as a character? And is it by extension Rain Man's fault?

Do you recognize this death scream? It's the final boss of Final Fight, and if you listen carefully you can hear a harp strumming at the end — probably because it was lifted from a movie like the Golden Axe voice samples were?

Ever since I was a teenager, I often didn't finish JRPGs specifically because a team losing their shared goal and returning to their old (separate) lives triggered my severe abandonment issues.

While it's difficult to pinpoint the exact origins of 'power-up' as a term, it's almost certainly a word Japan gave English, and not the other way around. www.thrillingtalesofoldvideogames.com/blog/power-u...

If you've never seen the intro to Dirty Pair: Project Eden, you may be surprised to discover that it's one of the most beautiful things ever animated.

Wherever you think Donkey Kong’s name comes from, it’s probably more complicated than that — both the ‘Donkey’ part and the ‘Kong.’ Like, for starters Shigeru Miyamoto probably didn’t create this character’s name. www.thrillingtalesofoldvideogames.com/blog/donkey-...

The Strait of Hormuz is open for transit

Lately I get more use out of my yoga mat when I lie on it during a panic attack than for actual exercise.

smiski company, hire me, I will make you a very normal series

Happy MAR10 day

It's Mar10 Day, and that seems as good a reason as any to post a thread of the notable Super Mariology studies I've been doing on Thrilling Tales of Old Video Games. First up: SMB2 was made *after SMB3. That's why it looks better. www.thrillingtalesofoldvideogames.com/blog/super-m...

Heaven forbid the conversation that gay people exist happen in the context of a heartfelt story. Better that little Johnny/Judy ask on the ride home about that slur their father used in the restaurant.

In the wake of Jacopo Camagni's passing I'm thinking a lot about community, and how we as creators need to make the extra effort to connect with one another. There's a lot of depression and insecurity in this industry. Often the only time we see one another we're boxed behind convention tables.
