Yeah, take that nesmaster with you stupid big head and scrawny chicken legs!

@Estil Well see, Napoleon had soldiers being supplied by horses drawn carriages that couldn't efficiently traverse the terrain. But Hitler was smart, see he had soldiers being supplied by horse drawn carr... Ohhhh.

https://www.vulture.com/2022/01/daniel-radcliffe-weird-al-yankovic-biopic.html Roku will be producing the project. Yankovic said in a statement. “And I am absolutely thrilled that Daniel Radcliffe will be portraying me in the film. I have no doubt whatsoever that this is the role future generations will remember him for.”

I hope something/anything does, I've got 600 points expiring at the end of the month.

Congratulations, less stress and getting ripped sounds like a good change.

AGDQ 2022 has begun. https://gamesdonequick.com/schedule Just saw Mega Man 2 earlier today, pretty good just barely missing the 27 minute mark.

I already had issues 1 and 4 of NP Advance but finally got nice copies of 3 and 4 to complete the set. Also got issues 6, 9, 10, and 15, of Pocket Games. All came from ebay for around $15 each. These were pick ups over BF and Christmas from GameStop. I really like the launch editions that Sega's been doing with the art book and sleeve, like Sonic Mania Plus, so I got Monkey Ball for $20, MP Superstars and Pokemon Snap were B2G1 so ~$40 each, and Cris Tales was $15. Lastly I picked up a copy of XC2: Torna for $65 off eBay.

I was able to get Steelheart off Libby so I'll probably start that tomorrow and placed a hold on HttE but it won't be available for another 2 weeks.

I'm a couple hours late but finished it this morning. I'm not a big fan of McCarthy as his continued distain of punctuation perks me. I started The Road years ago and quite half way through partly because of it. This one was better as it had a story and somewhat of an ending, although the last 20% of the book did nothing for me.

Day 1 Intro/Title - Excitebike - Title Screen (NES) Nothing especially great here, but this quick 10 second tune from one of the first video games I ever played will stay with me always. Day 2 Opening Stage/Grass Lands - Kirby's Dream Land - Green Greens (GB) Another classic for me; is there anything more happy and upbeat than a Kirby ost? Day 3 Simulation - Civilization V - Europe: Sicilienne (PC) I don't think I've ever played a game more than Civ V. I really like the flute on this track, reminds me a lot of Sugiyama's Dragon Quest. Day 4 Impressive/Mind Blowing - Star Fox - Corneria (SNES) A little guitar driven rock under the 80's synth lead fits the game perfectly as your mind explodes from the awesome power of the FX chip! Day 5 Playstation Exclusive - Gran Turismo - Home (PS1) I'm kind of surprised I haven't used anything off of this soundtrack yet. I played this so much when I first got my Playstation. So many cool 80/90's cars but I usually bought a used Miata MX5 as my first car and upgrading it to the moon so I could save up for a Skyline. Day 6 Weird - Resident Evil - Mansion Basement (PS1) Oh the hornmanity. Day 7 Computer - Rollercoaster Tycoon - Children of the Regiment (PC) I played this so much as a kid, so it's probably subjective but all the merry-go-round music is a nostalgia trip. Day 8 Mini/Bonus Game - Super Smash Bros. Melee - Targets (GC) "A new record!" Day 9 Same Game Different Song - TBD Day 10 Nostalgic - Microsoft Windows 95 - Canyon (PC) Not from a game, but considering how much I just played around with our first windows PC when I was a kid, it counts enough to me. Day 11 Rom Hack - AM2R - Initial Descent (PC) Hacks aren't really my jam so it took so thinking to find one, but then I just ended up going with Another Metroid 2 Remake. Day 12 Wild West - Oregon Trail II - Trail 1 (Good) - (PC) I'm not sure if this is correct title of the song, but this was one of my favorites from the first version of Oregon Trail I had at home. Day 13 Remake/Remaster - Metroid 2: Samus Returns - Surface of SR388 (3DS) And now for the actual remake of the game that got a hacked version... Day 14 Dungeon - Crypt of the Necrodancer - Mausoleum Mash (PC) The whole game is nothing but dungeons and awesome music, like the underground version of Shovel Knight. Day 15 Boss - Golden Sun - Fusion Dragon (GBA) This song is bonkers and borderline awful with all the time signatures and asynchronous "melodies", but you couldn't ask for more in an epic rpg final boss battle theme. Day 16 Retro - Alien 3 - Main Theme (GEN) I haven't put much from Sega up this round yet so here's one by Matt Furniss. The synth work is so good, it sounds like it could easily be a background track for a Thomas Dolby song. Day 17 Racing - Colin McRae Rally 2.0 - Intro (PS1) Peak 90's European Drum and Bass. Day 18 Stage Clear - Sonic 3 - Act Clear (GEN) It's the first non SMB thing I thought of. Day 19 High Score - Silver Surfer - High Score (NES) Good a time as any to pull out something from the Super Follin Bros. catalogue Day 20 Indie - Slime Rancher - Ranch Night Theme (X1/PC) Day 21 Casino/Festival - Chrono Trigger - Guardia Millenial Fair (SNES) A little obvious, but it's just a nice little tune I could listen to all day. Day 22 Saturday Morning Cartoon A - The Incredible Crash Test Dummies - Title Theme (NES) From the licensed game masters at LJN. Day 22 Saturday Morning Cartoon B - Pokemon - Main Theme (Italian) My cousins found this during the early days of Napster, good times. Day 23 Free Space - Pokemon TCG - Battle Theme (GBC) I've probably pasted this before on a previous list, but it's one of my favorite songs from a game so I'll put it down again. Day 24 Pinball - Kirby's Pinball Land - Kracko (GB) This was one of my earliest Gameboy games I got to borrow from my cousins and I played it so much. I particularity like this track for it's very innocent and whimsical feel. Day 25 A Capella/Vocals - LoZ: Link's Awakening - Ballad of the Wind Fish (NSW) LA on the Gameboy is my favorite game, but when Nintendo released the official lyrics for this song, I did not like it at all. After hearing it for so many years with just the musical melody, words did nothing but detract from the beauty. I'm glad the switch remake did not include it and just went with vocables. Day 26 Shmup - UN Squadron - Front Line Base (SNES) I never really felt like this served as a shmup kind of song, but it's awesome none the less. Day 27 Unsettling - LoZ: Majora's Mask - Okana Valley (N64) Day 28 Final Boss - Blue Dragon - The Seal Is Broken (360) Day 29 Secret Boss - Super Mario RPG - Fight Against Culex (SNES) Day 30 Ending - Blaster Master - Ending (NES)

I guess we can finally say... BOOM, he's on his back.

Madden 93 on Genesis was one of the first games I got for the system and is still my favorite, second would be 2006 for gba.

And the train rolls on...

Of anyone is interested, gog is offering the PC game for free. https://www.gog.com/game/i_have_no_mouth_and_i_must_scream?pp=d051bf1ddf82f79c6af34f7f4e59707f081296ad

GameStop has Skyward Sword for $34 new, meaning Amazon and/or Target should have it for that price soon too.

My son gets it. He just thinks he is being helpful, but when he tells me he got a dozen more power moons or 6 spirit orbs (BotW) it doesn't feel like my game anymore and I stop playing. Maybe someday I'll get an OLED or the next iteration and let him have my V2.

I've completely given up on my list as the year comes to an end but FWIW, I did finally finish Mario Odyssey after starting over from scratch. It's one of the games that I've started multiple times but my son takes over my game and plays without me (despite him having his own separate user save). This is also the same reason I've never beaten BotW.

I don't know, the Lockes we're making some pretty dumb decisions in the first season... That kind of stuff does ruin my suspension of disbelief.

I just finished it this week. I enjoyed it but I wish Selena Gomez was a better actor. She doesn't ruin it but every scene she's in it's like listening to Daria. If there is a second season, I hope we can see some growth. I've been keeping up with Wheel of Time and I just finished reading the Shadow and Bone Trilogy and will start that on Netflix this week. Tonight the wife and I will finally be able to start season 2 of Locke and Key.

There, now we're officially over $2200.

WoT is on my read list but since Amazon announced the show, I figured I'd just watch the show and wait to read as typically the book is better. The internet is really baggin on it since it strays from the book so much but I'm enjoying it a lot.

I agree, but I didn't even think the title story was that good. Cool concept but the writing felt like it was trying too hard to sound grandiose. The other stories didn't seem to have the same airs.
