I rewatched Sleepaway Camp last night and it got me thinking what age are the characters supposed to be. Because Ricky and Angela definitely come off as younger teens around 12-14 years old, but it’s implied that Judy, who is clearly a much older teen, is around the same age as Ricky.

They’re called leprechauns because they carry the bacteria that causes leprosy.

I’ve somehow never seen the 1991 Addams Family, so I’m going to remedy that tonight.

Played the demo for the new Castlevania and it’s definitely leaning into the Dark Souls side of gaming. Wish it was a true 2D game, but it’s still very cool to be getting a real Castlevania after so long without.

Still regret not buying this ancient pull string “Casper” when I saw it.

I guess this is supposed to be Casper the ghost. It’s old as hell and probably contains a real ghost.

In the context of Halloween 2, who is Mr. Sandman? Is Michael the Sandman? Is Michael the dream brought by the Sandman? Is the Man in Black from Halloween 6 Mr. Sandman? The people want answers.

Still not entirely sure why today is Batman Day. It seems like DC just arbitrarily decided it would be a random Saturday in September that has no connection to Batman or any publishing history of the comic. Anyway, I picked up a Grant Morrison book because my comic shop was having a sale.

And that’s credits on Star Wars Zero Company. Maybe my game of the year. This was my first experience with an Xcom style game and I was surprised how easy everything clicked into place for me after a few hours of figuring it out. Curious to look up what kind of game breaking strategies are out there

Super Mario World's Forest of Illusion is a reference to Zelda's Lost Woods. Both have the same Japanese name, 迷いの森 or Mayoi no Mori, and Forest of Illusion will trap you in an endless loop if you don't find the secret exit, not unlike the Lost Woods. more: thrillingtalesofoldvideogames.com/m6#79

GAMES FINISHED IN 2026 THREAD 1. Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance - Despite having played this 10+ times in the last 20 years, I still immediately jumped on it the second it hit Switch Online. Still holds up and makes me wish Intelligent Systems didn’t abandon the fanbase to court anime waifu nerds.

I think I’m firmly on team Ocarina of Time remake looks cool. I’m usually pretty immune to nostalgia blindness, but the original OoT is on the short list of games where I can completely overlook all its flaws and shortcomings.
