This is why I love Kirby Super Star. A person might think, "Why give Kirby so many moves/options? Game is easy enough." So I can try and stealth while taking no damage through an autoscroller section! When a game has fun tools/options you have reason to replay it in various ways. When we talk

At the center of my message to faculty yesterday was: 1.) We may not be adequately prepared for how angry students are about tech. 2.) They are not all angry for the same reasons. 3.) Being angry at it doesn’t mean they aren’t using it. The sense of entrapment fuels the anger.

Last post: Don’t be afraid to do the reverse to, meaning to use games as a springboard for research into other areas! Wonder where a line from a poem some character recited came from? Look it up! Same for art, pottery, fashion, everything! It’s OK to want to learn something b/c you saw it in a game!

I was just researching and comparing all the different ports of the excellent #Rayman 2 a few days ago, so getting a new upscaled version on the Switch is a very welcome surprise! #TonicTrouble is an offbeat and funny platformer that, despite its flaws, would also be fun to go back to.
