Let’s Play Paper Mario – Part 3

We finally get a chance to show the Koopa Bros. whose boss! Though there’s a bit of Paper Mario, there’s tons of story time with Jett, including that time Topanga (Danielle Fishel) walked by me in Vegas, that time an NBA player celebrated Thanksgiving with our family, and more! I even read assorted comments and from my middle school yearbooks!

Highlights

An adventure almost 20 years in the making! After actively avoiding it for not being Super Mario RPG 2, I finally give Paper Mario a fair shake. Hopefully this is the start of a full playthrough! We also take a mid-stream intermission to play some Nintendo 64 show and tell!

Paper Mario and Petty Grudges

Almost 20 years after its original release, I finally played Paper Mario for the first time. Regarded by many as a classic, it slipped through the cracks for me due to the pettiest of reasons.

It wasn’t Super Mario RPG 2.

Anthem, Review Scores, and Evaluating a Game on My Own Terms

Will be the first to admit that review scores play a heavy role in my game purchasing decisions. From the moment I got my first GamePro magazine in 1994, checking the opinions of critics before plunking down the funds on a game is a must. It sucks to spend so much on a game and not have it meet your expectations. Most recently, I cancelled my Crackdown 3 preorder after reading the reviews and watching its Metacritic score crash to a 60 out of 100.

Having said that, Anthem came out not long after and also was smacked with a 60 out of 100 Metacritic score. With the BioWare pedigree behind it, this seems like an even bigger disappointment than Microsoft’s exclusive offering. Yet, here I am, playing Anthem and generally having a good time with it.

Double Jump vs. In Third Person in Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu! This Time, It’s Personal…

Click to watch the full video! twitch.tv/xdoublejump!

Last night, Kris from Double Jump continued her Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu adventure on Twitch. After she was done chipping away at the main campaign, she invited me on for a rematch!

We had some awesome battles, but I think the best part of hanging out with Kris was the conversation we had. During the battle and well after it was over, we just chatted for a long time and that was even more entertaining! The conversation went everywhere, from Bird Box, to Wonder Woman, Britney Spears, crazy hair styles, nightmare tales from our past retail jobs, my most epic fart, that time Kris almost lost an eye, and more! Kris and Rachel, we need to figure out how to make this off-topic chat a thing. Doesn’t matter if it’s your channel or mine, or if it only occurs once in a blue moon, we have to do it again because it was too much fun not to 😀

Here’s a few highlights to whet your appetite:

My most epic fart

That time Kris almost lost an eye

Kris wins!

Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu/Let’s Go Eevee Review

I never gave Pokemon Red/Blue the time of day upon its original release in the 90s. As an overly-conscious teenager, I perceived myself as being too grown up and mature for a kids game. This perception was only amplified by the fact that my little brother was obsessed with Pokemon at the time. I tried his copy of Pokemon Blue for a few hours just to see what the hype was about, but I dismissed it far too soon.

Many years after the fact, Pokemon X would be my gateway to the franchise. From there, Pokemon Go was the game that made me a fan. Though I’ve technically been to Kanto before, Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu/Let’s Go Eevee is the first time I’m visiting the region with an open mind and open heart.
