Episode 401: Kirby, Pt. 1
Added 2021-08-30 13:00:01 +0000 UTCWe have a patron episode this week about a topic that is frankly far more expansive than a single episode could begin to hope to tackle! Per Andrew Oliveira, we have begun The Kirby Discourse. How much Discourse did we tackle in a single recording session? Uhhh, not much. In the space of an hour and a half, Stuart, Henry, Andrew, and I managed to cover Kirby's Dream Land, its sequel, and Kirby's Adventure. That's it.
Well, don't worry. We love Kirby. There'll be more Kirby discussion in 2022. That's just how it's gotta be.

Kirby is such an amazing character! I feel like the reason Kirby can't die is because he is made out of like a balloon-like gelatinous material that can reform if separated. He is basically a majin-buu like character.

2021-09-13 15:41:12 +0000 UTCBorn in the late 80s, I had a NES but basically missed all "new" releases on the platform by the time I actually played them in the early 90s. It's interesting to me knowing that I played Kirby's Adventure in '93, sitting in my parents living room on many a sunny morning, experiencing a "new" game at the same time everyone else was, blissfully unaware how significant the game would be in the history of Nintendo and HAL. Strong nostalgia for the title. It probably helped that the game was easily completable by a child who still didn't have the refined motor skills to be good at games yet, and had yet to beat pretty much any other game I owned at the time.

2021-09-03 01:32:41 +0000 UTCThe way I planned things I wanted to cover the platformers first before moving towards the more experimental games. Combined with the fact patron episodes are recorded quarterly, it could be a while. However, it's not like they need to uphold my plans, so who knows? Hopefully if they didn't they would have my on anyway. I've already finished the notes for all the games. lol

2021-08-30 23:46:18 +0000 UTCIt was a pleasure to be on again and meet Henry and Stuart. I'm looking forward to recording Part 2, especially since that will include Super Star! Also, I gave crap about Wario episodes beating Kirby onto the show, but last Friday's Patreon exclusive episode was Garfield games. That's even worse! lol
