So I would have finished StarTropics II last, but... there is a deeply unfair boss rush right at the end. Not enough health to stick it out. Come see me curse this game's name as I attempt to do it all over tonight. twitch.tv/hikeryote

A theory: Soccer players are the most fragile beings on earth, subject to excruciating pain from the lightest of contact. That's why soccer referees are actually powerful clerics, able to heal grievous injuries by invoking a penalty against the at fault party, with yellow and red cards as a focus.

"The Scottish island of Summerisle, home of the best fruit in Britain. The first thing you notice? No churches. The farmers here practice a fascinating form of pre-Christian worship…and I just learned I'll be playing the lead role in their annual May Day festival. First stop: my costume fitting."

I will be blocking anyone who makes an "oh god the bees" reference, that is a different movie not worthy of discussion.

We continue the quest to slay God... or we would if this were the Japanese version. Alas, Nintendo balked at that name, so we're stuck with the less awesome (but still awesome) Crystalis. Preshow at 7:30, game on at 8! twitch.tv/hikeryote

Oh this is a tough call. It's a toss-up for me between Ang Lee's Hulk and the first Michael Bay Transformers. The former I talked friends into seeing based on critical word-of-mouth. I got on my knees and apologized after. The latter my friends took me to see, promising it was good. It was not.

I never got around to reposting my Weird Duck Time comic this year! Also, unrelatedly, today is a good day to help out at standwithminnesota.com

A comic called the four seasons of bird watching. In panel 1, labeled elegant songbird spring, a yellow-throated vireo sings against a green background. In panel 2, labeled subtle treasures of summer, a hermit thrush stands on moss in a dark green forest. In panel 3 labeled magnificent fall migrations, broad-winged hawks soar over fall foliage. In panel 4, labeled weird duck time, a northern shoveler, surf scoter, and red-breasted merganser open their strange bills and yell.
