Crazy to think that's it's already 25 years old, I have a lot of fond memories of watching it growing up. One of my favorite memories was rewatching the entirety of it leading up to Star Allies coming out and finishing the last episode on the day of the game's release.

Saw this going around and decided to fill it out myself.

Imagine watching an older VHS recording to see Puppet Yoda but instead you are greeted with the gaydar.

How it feels being an Ace Attorney fan right now.

Burntrap actually does have a few pieces of merch, particularly a shirt, an early Youtooz figure, and a recent Funko Pop.

As much as I love Dual Destinies, Trucy is as much of a character in that game as Luigi is in Paper Mario: Sticker Star. Which is depressing to say given she was one of the main characters in the prior.

Whenever I replay Classic City Escape, I tend to use the Thunder Shield. Though next time I might try it out with the Flame Shield cause that usage of it at the very end goes kind of hard.

Can't say I was expecting them to do a Snack Break styled short for this but I'm glad they did, it was pretty cute and quite fitting given what the last short was about. Also gives me hope that Pac-Man's voice lines aren't just gonna be classic Pac-Man sound effects.

SpringPopo @springpopo.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

It's been funny watching a lot of my friends go insane today over the brief glimpse at the pizzeria and what it could mean for FNaF. Meanwhile, I'm over here shocked by the fact that Miru from Pac & Pal has officially appeared in a Fortnite advertisement.

SpringPopo @springpopo.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

While I wish we could have heard him speak, I still really like his cameo here. It's pretty cute and feels fitting for his character, I totally see him as the type of guy who cheats at arcade games.

020

SpringPopo @springpopo.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Oh my gosh, turns out the recent Pac-Man: Snack Break short had Orson appear as a cameo. I believe this is the first time that we've gotten to see him appear in something that isn't named after World. Hoping that this is a sign that he'll be sticking around moving forward.

SpringPopo @springpopo.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

He did beat me at the funny Destroy All Monsters Melee remaster demo but does that truly matter when even with playing as both player 2 and player 3, he couldn't beat my score in GODZILLA PINBALL???

Every waking moment I pray that Namco will reveal Pac-Man World 3 Re-PAC in the next Nintendo Direct. If it doesn't get revealed, I might have to perform a summoning ritual and bring out a human sacrifice. So note to any of my friends who see this, pray you're not the one I pick.

Incredibly late to seeing this but Classic Bonnie making it as long as he did was simply because he was the best character I had in terms of healing by that point. Similar boat with Paper Pals, they were just more useful than some of the other options I had at the time. Plus, I think they're neat.

020

SpringPopo @springpopo.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

Been replaying FNaF World at the moment due to World 2 hype. I was explaining to my friend how I've only come across Spring Bonnie once in the past 10 years and he was like "imagine if you come across him randomly". Only for this to leave me speechless ten minutes later.

Thank you very much, X-nimator!

As a fun little bonus, I also put together a variant of the Five Laps Springy art that has the background and blinking animation from his in-game icon.

SpringPopo @springpopo.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

So here is the major piece I did to celebrate my birthday today, some artwork of Five Laps at Freddy's Springtrap and Graphic Novel Plushtrap Chaser because I personally really like their designs. #art #fnaf

It is now midnight, so it's officially now August 13th in my timezone. Another year, another birthday meaning that I have turned old once more. I do have something major prepared for later in the day, however for the time being have this.

But hey as long as it sticks the landing, this might be my second favorite game in the series. Which would be nice since I've heard it basically inspired the game that would change the direction of the series moving forward.

011

SpringPopo @springpopo.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

Which it's just as cool here, as Maria is super fun and the Hiddden Stages are honestly a lot cooler than their regular counterparts even beyond rescuing peeps. I think the only part I don't care for so far are the bosses, I think other games have handled those a lot better.

111

SpringPopo @springpopo.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

I've done Stages 1-4, as well as their alternate variants. I'd say my general thoughts so far is that I'm glad we got a return to multiple characters and alternate routes, I loved that aspect of 3 so much.

SpringPopo @springpopo.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

Finally playing through Castlevania: Rondo of Blood since the three versions of that game are the last stop for my Classic Castlevania marathon (unless I'm forgetting something really obscure that isn't a Tigers Electronic handheld). I am currently a little over halfway through the game.

120

SpringPopo @springpopo.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

the classic Castlevania games for the most part (such as 1, JP 3, 4, etc) are all pretty short, challenging, yet fair and fun times. I'm a huge fan of 3 but you can't go wrong with the others. Hopefully any of these are up your alley.

SpringPopo @springpopo.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

Really depends on what you're in the mood for. If you want something more casual for the roadtrip, Sonic Advance and Super Star Ultra are some relaxing times. If you want something a bit more meaty, then I'd recommend the translation for Mother 3. And if you want something harder-

You can't escape the truth, Jen

I played Deltarune Chapter 2 recently.

Do not trust this man, he secretly likes Pyribbit. He must be stopped.

I hope I never have to experience that fight ever again, especially with keyboard controls.

SpringPopo @springpopo.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

Della Duck deserves better. This recent rewatch really highlighted how much she meant to the series, not only in terms of how the mystery surrounding her enhanced Season 1, but also how what she brings to the table as a standalone character. Whatever Happened to Della Duck is the best episode.

SpringPopo @springpopo.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

Finally got around to finishing my rewatch of Ducktales 2017, which kind of left a bittersweet feeling. Getting to re-experience everything that made it so special but also knowing deep down we're unlikely to see what it brought to the table again, outside of chibiverse. Look I'm just saying-

SpringPopo @springpopo.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

All in all, do I regret going for them? No... but I will be avoiding them moving forward in later entries and the N Sane Trilogy. But I am glad to see that as a whole, Crash 3 really clicked with me, I would very much recommend it.

010

SpringPopo @springpopo.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

Given the fact you're now expected to play perfectly, which makes the issues with them all the more apparent, especially when they throw in their gimmicks. The last motorcycle level was easily the worst when it decided that you are not allowed to see much of what comes up ahead in front of you.

100

SpringPopo @springpopo.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

Some of the requirements turn these levels into the most strict, unforgiving, and painful shit I've had to experience in a 3D platformer. While I had some fun here and there, a good handful of levels nearly drove me insane. Especially the two vehicle types I mentioned prior.

100

SpringPopo @springpopo.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

can be a complete and utter pain. Casually, this is probably my favorite of the bunch. It's the one I have the most interest in checking the N Sane Trilogy version at some point. However, when it comes to 100%, I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND IT IF YOU GO FOR THE PLATINUM TIME TRIAL RELICS.

100

SpringPopo @springpopo.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

trilogy. It feels the most polished, creative, and engaging to me, easily the best showcase of this formula works. However, it is held back a bit by some of the vehicle levels, particularly the plane and motorcycle levels as I find that they feel absolutely horrible to handle and the enemy AI-

SpringPopo @springpopo.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

After a little over a week, I have finally completed Crash Bandicoot: Warped and got 105% and all the Platinum relics. As a whole, when it comes to the presentation, story, how Crash himself feels to play, riding levels, bosses, and especially the platforming stages, this is the best game in the-

SpringPopo @springpopo.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

I'm interested to see what I'll make of Deltarune when I get to it. Thankfully I haven't been spoiled to hell and back on that game, only a handful of random elements that I don't know the context of, and Jockington.

000

SpringPopo @springpopo.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

Closest thing I could compare it to would be my stance on the Pikmin series from what I've heard where I enjoyed my time, will look into more, but I'm not really crazy about. Which I will admit, that's kind of what I expected going on.

100

SpringPopo @springpopo.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

While I also think Frisk's walking speed is painfully slow. Thankfully though, I've heard Deltarune does have a run button, so that's a good sign. As a whole, I'd say it's a good game and I probably would replay it someday, though I definitely feel like I respect it more than anything.

100

SpringPopo @springpopo.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

my friends feel towards the game afterwards. However, I do have some genuine issues with the game itself. I think the third major area of the game suffers a lot with the pacing and flow, with constant interruptions that got annoying after a bit.

100

SpringPopo @springpopo.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

either, though that could very well be the result of me having been spoiled nonstop for well over a decade and being quite familiar with some of the main inspirations behind the game. Which not saying the game is bad for that, just that I didn't end up feeling the same way I've seen many of-

100

SpringPopo @springpopo.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

the usual tropes you'd see in an RPG. I also found the game's cast of characters and style of humor fairly charming. It also helps that the OST is genuinely fantastic, there's a lot of really memorable tracks in the game. However, at the same time I didn't really find it anything groundbreaking-

100

SpringPopo @springpopo.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

Oh yeah, I recently finished Undertale for the first time, so might as well share what my general thoughts on the game were. I think the game's strongest element is definitely the theme of its story and how it was utilized with the game's core mechanics. Which made it feel like a neat spin on-

SpringPopo @springpopo.bsky.social · 07/07/2026

I still gotta go through it at some point but I'm waiting to see if those rumors of a remake are legit or not before I do so.
