Except Angry Birds was just a Crush The Castle clone, so really, all of those games were bad.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Kinda neat. Surprised I didn't hear about it. I remember reading a blurb about the Indrema from way back and it seemed incredible and too good to be true. It was definitely one of those

Hmm that’s a little worrying but it’s only been a couple months, if it still hasn’t fixed itself by July or August then maybe go see a doctor.

They're actually the same size, children are just small so the cards can seem a bit bigger.

Yeah, that was a great game. The rush of adrenaline as you knew the dragon was getting closer was the first time I ever felt any kind of stakes in a video game.

That brings back memories of the bat pulling off dick moves like flying in with a live dragon in tow then trading it for the sword (or worse still the chalice) that I'd just found.

The craziest thing about the M2 is that despite not coming out as a console, Konami licensed the tech for some reason and made a handful of arcade games using it.

For instance, here's their House of the Dead knockoff running on it.
