While Doom is the best game of all time, that doesn't necessarily make it my personal favorite. That honor goes to Yoshi's Island, which I played a lot as a kid. Shadow of the Colossus is probably my second favorite. But Doom is probably my third favorite, and the best game of all time.

It's important to be able to identify something as the "best" while being able to keep your favorite separate.

I hated yoshi's island when I first played it because I just wanted another Super Mario World. I revisited it many years later with an open mind and played through and enjoyed it, but it's far from a favorite. I think it's good but really overrated.

It has superb level design, graphics design, character design, excellent and tight controls, great music, and one of the best final boss fights in the SNES library. For these and many other reasons it's my favorite game, Ralp.

I admit the final boss fight fondly came to mind as I was writing that post.

I know what you mean, I also wanted another Super Mario World even though I liked Yoshi's Island. I also missed goombas, the galoombas never seemed right.

I know it's dumb to sign my posts, but I can't stop no matter how many times I'm told, because I'm really stupid and I want to make sure that shines through in everything I do and say, forever.

"There is a giant lizard. Its running. It appears that he ate something, or it was otherwise absorbed into his being. He grew wings. The loving lizard, its flying, it grew god drat wings! Major, there's a baby on that lizard's back! Its riding without a saddle! I don't understand, why doesn't it eat the baby? Is the baby its friend? Major, there's too much going on. Visibility is low. It appears that winged beasts are assaulting the lizard. It appears the lizard is protecting the baby. It appears the baby is still wearing its bloody placenta. Sir, do we fire the artillery?"

We wait.
We wait, we see where that lizard is going. And we capture that god drat lizard.
Kill the baby."

It was funny watching the delfino people react to yoshi's throw up the same way they reacted to water touching them. It was funny going under the awning then jumping on one of them, watching it loop from pressing jump once.
