Plutos a focused and masterful retelling of an astroboy story that elevates the source, but billy bat has its hands in everything, it wanders and meanders and explores its themes which is the important part of being an opus/epic i think.

Its an epic cause it has a lot to say about a lot of things.

I love battle for bikini bottom but my favorite spongebob game is really the pc exclusive adventure game relewsed super early in the shows run, employee of the month.

Its a super imaginative expansion of the world and you see a lot of the town and the humor of the show.

i think they reused the engine for that game for the pc releases of battle for bikini bottom and the movie game because those are point & clicks that are completely different from the 3d platformer console releases lol

anyway i ask about spongebob games cause i thought about creature from the krusty krab recently as it's the only spongebob game i played a lot of that wasn't lights camera pants and unfortunately on revisiting it i found out the game is less surreal than i remember and more just kind of boring

it's less unplayable when you're not an 8 year old trying to learn motion controls for turning winches though

Pretty sure the first computer game I beat was JumpStart Adventures 3rd Grade: Mystery Mountain, which was about a robot trying to save a bunch of his robot pals via playing a bunch of games. It had a really unique aesthetic for the time, and dor an Edutainment game, it was actually really fun. There's a reason Jumpstart never changed the 3rd grade version, whereas they changed the other grade versions fairly frequently.

Thanks for reminding me that I watched the first two episodes of Concrete Revolutio, liked it a lot, and then completely forgot to watch the rest.

i started replaying ace combat 3 and i forgot that like every news report at the beginning of the game is people saying "now that two massive megacorporations have literally destroyed the world's concept of countries and politics we are all hosed. in what ways are we hosed and why can't this be fixed? more at 11"

ace combat 3 is a heavy mood game
