The Serge Worked

Posted on June 4, 2022 by Nathan

SPOILERS FOR CHRONO CROSS! So, I finished Chrono Cross…sort of. There’s more than one way to beat the final boss, and the way to get the good ending involves using elements in a certain order. It’s a clever idea, but … Continue reading →

Never Steal a Used Carpet

Koopa Klaus – Christmas was almost a month ago, but here’s the Christmas episode of this show. I already wrote about this one twelve years ago, and I can’t say I can think of much to add. It is weird … Continue reading →

They’ll Need a Krang

Posted on July 29, 2016 by Nathan

I’ve been led to understand that the newest Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie features appearances from several characters introduced in the 1987 cartoon series, including Bebop, Rocksteady, and Krang. I’ll probably watch it at some point, but I can’t say … Continue reading →

Video World Tour

Posted on March 5, 2016 by Nathan

I recently came across this old Metroid discussion forum topic about the location in Captain N actually CALLED “Metroid.” Within the game, a Metroid is an organism, not a place. Their home world is the planet SR-388. Captain N tended … Continue reading →

Plumber vs. Plant

There’s a Name for My Pain, and It’s Mother Brain

Posted on May 1, 2013 by Nathan

It’s interesting that there are a few different video games with Mother Brains. The original and most famous, and likely the inspiration for the others, appears in Metroid as the final boss. She’s basically a biomechanical supercomputer created by the … Continue reading →
