well considering Nintendo’s the one bringing the case, not defending, surely it would be

thinking back to the comment I got about Let's Anime that asked if I was ever going to make videos for the people who don't like to read, and my reaction is to never, ever, do anything, ever, to help "people who don't like to read"

A package covered in “fragile” stamps with “DO NOT LET BLOBBY DELIVER THIS” in big black marker

Mr Blobby’s pink hand with yellow spots is ominously reaching towards it

Thanks so much! I actually worked at Mighty at the time, so there was a lot more flexibility in what could be done. It was really cool being able to design two connecting pins, the artist was very talented but I don’t think they’re on here

I’m also really proud of the Prinny pin, he came out great

I don’t know where Billy is now or what he’s doing, but I’m pretty sure he made that happen and it was the kindest thing when I’d had one of the worst moments of my life

The PGC crew were so lovely, and I was lucky to have worked with them on that goofy fansite which grew into a legit publication

I remember, when i was about…20? It was when the DS launched. I had a car accident that totaled my car, t-boned it. I didn’t realize how lucky I was that I was okay

I was writing for Planet GameCube at the time and they sent me a launch DS with all the games. It was so kind, I will never forget it

I got very good at rapidly typing “look” with one hand due to old sierra games not pausing the screen until a text box popped up and you sometimes needing the game to pause due to a random wizard popping up and murdering you

When you stop paying the animators
When you stop paying the animators YouTube video by kenny lauderdale

I love how this video throws the last minute curveball of “oh yeah the only place where this was broadcast in English was in Melbourne Australia in the 1980s” and I’m always like WHAT

also what an incredible thumbnail

Now I’m starting to wonder if it was a modded super famicom because they couldn’t get a kit in australia in the 90s

I guess I’ll never know
