Have it on 360, same as Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing. I'm chiefly looking at stuff which isn't cross-platform here, though a couple of others slipped in (I was just reading off my wish list). I left off the ones from the pic I didn't care for, which were a very small number. Everything else there, I've quite enjoyed; the ones I might not recommend are Star Wars (which was okay) and We Love Golf (ditto). Yep! Have it on 360, same as Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing.

I have it, and it's great. At first I was surprised at your lack of Rayman Origins, but you probably have it for your 360, right? If not, then you need to get it; it's the best 2D platformer I've ever played. (Yes, even better than SMB3/SMW.) Also, would you recommend all the games pictured, or are they just the ones you own? I know I own a couple of games that I wouldn't recommend to others. You definitely need to get A Boy And His Blob. I have it, and it’s great.

I think Nintendo just needs to do a more effective job with marketing their products and software, beyond their narrow target market. Well spoken!

I think you said enough without giving away too much. I totally agree with the way I imagined the movie would be broken up compared to how it actually was. "Fix It Felix Jr." and "Hero's Duty" together were really just the setup for "Sugar Rush", and the movie could've been called "Ralph and Vanellope". And I dunno, I personally didn't find Vanellope annoying at all. You see the problems she deals with almost immediately after being introduced to her, so I thought it was easy to be sympathetic. I didn't think about Roger Rabbit at first, but yeah, the movie gave me more of a Toy Story vibe even if it's not much like Toy Story save for the "What do they do when we're not watching?" idea. I really would like to see more of this world, as well... I'm not sure where potential sequels could go (more for limitless possibilities than lack of them), but there definitely seems to be a lot of potential with the characters they have. It took me a moment to get that bit after the credits but then I just couldn't stop grinning when I realized what it was. They really did add the perfect little touches here and there! I liked how the kart race began with everyone getting rocket starts, except for one racer who seemed to have mistimed it. And the course reminded me a lot of DK Mountain, with the "cannon" part and all -- one of my favorite courses. And I don't see much talk of the "Paperman" short! I really enjoyed that and thought it was really cute! Great review! I think you said enough without giving away too much.

Gonna hafta keep that review in my bookmarks for when/if I eventually pick up a 3DS. The gameplay hook is one I've enjoyed in other games, although I'm probably overestimating my own skill in not being too terrified of the difficulty you mentioned. Especially since professional game reviewers are presumably good enough to beat the games they review, so y'all's kind are probably more skilled than, say, me.

And despite my not being a Mega Man fan, you managed to hold my attention with the real-world science in his article. As for your wife's article, I have to say, it makes James Herriot's life sound easy. That Metroid article is downright fascinating.

]]> Comment on Review: Pizza Hut’s Hot Dog Stuffed Crust Pizza by David Oxford http://pmo.bumpheli.com/?p=4702&cpage=1#comment-53149 David Oxford Wed, 31 Oct 2012 23:27:25 +0000 http://pmo.bumpheli.com/?p=4702#comment-53149 <em>Loaded </em>pizza, sure. Of course, even without the hot dog, that's kind of asking for it just the same. On its own, though? It's like you say, no worse than any other ingredient... and possibly better than some of the greasier ones, such as sausage or pepperoni. Loaded pizza, sure.
