Benjamine: I think that has happened once or twice to me, but usually they'll say something like "if it doesn't ship by such and such a day, you can come back for a refund/replacement, etc.



Moutain Dew: I haven't tried to melon one yet, but I do dig the design. I'm not much of a soda drinker, but I like to try certain limited editions when they come out. Voo Dew 2019 and 2020 tasted the same to me (like skittles), and I wasn't really a fan of rither. Never tried the other MDlimited flavors. 

@ onipar

i'll give it until the 30th, i already had to pay so much just for it. remember when game controllers were only like $15-$20 in the playstation 1 days? i miss those days already lol.

it looks like our old friend blueluigi will be back to doing game reviews again, something he hasn't done since the early youtube years.

He needed to scratch that itch again it seems.

@Ben, I hear ya! I had to pick up a new PS4 controller this past year because the one that came with the system crapped out. I should have waited until black friday, but I was impatient.

Blue Luigi, eh? Sounds fun! 

happy valentine's day!

20 years of an underrated holiday horror classic.

today marks the 35th anniversary of the legend of zelda franchise. what are your memories playing the games?

Honestly, not many memories. I remember the first game on the NES being far outside my ability as a gamer. I had a mild fascination with the warp whistle, but I don't think I ever got very far in it. I don't remember playing any of the sequels as a kid. 



In more recent years I've revisited the original (still have never played all the way through). In fact, I was only able to get as far as I did by using an online guide to know where to go and what to do.



I have to give HUGE props to anyone that was figuring that game out all on their own as a young kid. 

The Legend of Zelda is the first video game I ever played, Super Mario Bros is a close second. My Dad bought an NES and I have.a distinct memory of him playing it. What's fascinating about Zelda is how so many tips and secret locations have been passed down via word of mouth- the arcane knowledge of Hyrule Kingdom lol

@Onipar- As a kid, I could never get past Level 8. It is a big level with a lot of those pesky knights and it's hard to figure out which rooms your are supposed to clear. About two years ago, I finally beat the game for the first time with the help of a buddy who had an internet guide on his phone lol

One memory I have of LOZ is hitting those chickens with the sword in A Link to the Past lol.
