Disney is Fucking Evil, Yo

So I’m watching cartoons, which is customary in our household because of the children but also because they’re awesome (or at least used to be), and I came across an epiphany. Now I shouldn’t completely oust Disney alone for this as I’ve seen it in other things as well, but there’s something I don’t quite get and it extends to reaches the likes of which you couldn’t imagine…so here goes.

Cartoon Episodes I Want To See

Every so often I’m subjected to cartoons. Sometimes willingly, other times Clockwork Orange style. Even still, there have been some episodes I know we’ve all wanted from these toons and I’m going to lay out a few ideas I’ve had recently.

Why Zelda Is Not An RPG

About 7 years ago, I explained why Zelda was not an RPG on Project Wonderboy, the first site I ever wrote at. It was a fun article that only exists in the old Internet graveyard today, sadly. Even still, it’s a topic I toil and fuss over regularly because, wouldn’t you know, people still think it’s an RPG. These people are what I like to call WRONG. But don’t worry if you’re one of them! I’ll explain why you’re an idiot.

Under the Scope – Music

Ever since the original Super Mario Bros., we’ve been treated to music in videogames. Well…before then as well, but I wanted to put something out there you could see, nod your head at, and move onward without getting totally lost. Not to sound conceited, but there are any one of a number of other titles that came out before Mario that have done the same, but you probably don’t know what…oh my Jesus I sound like a hipster so I better stop.

Chantelise – A Tale of Two Sisters

General Overview

Much like when Nippon Ichi released Disgaea THEN La Pucelle in America, despite them coming out in reverse in Japan, Chantelise was released AFTER Recettear in America…and sadly doesn’t quite live up to the fun, strange, engrossing quirkiness of such. Even if you really, really loved Recettear, I simply cannot recommend this title.

These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things – Episode 6

I think this is normally where an intro goes. It’s unlikely that you’ll read it. That’s okay, because I have movies and stuff. And yeah, the movies are hidden in the pics. Enjoy!

These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things – Episode 3

You know the drill. This is not spoiler free. Some content within are MAJOR spoilers that might occur toward the end of a particular game or open it up entirely. If you see a game you’ve played, but not very much, or a game you’d be interested in playing, BACK OUT AND DON’T LOOK BACK. You’ve been warned.
