@Meganisrad I've got so many choices. She-Ra, Dragon Prince, Steve Universe, Adventure Time even. Too much. Kind of makes me question spending more time with Korra? 😬

@Meganisrad Also, I need more Last Airbender after the huge disappointment of season one Korra. Still watching continuing to watch Korra and enjoying season two slightly more. But ***yikes***.

@Meganisrad @Nickelodeon Thanks for the reminder! Just pre-ordered the omnibus. Can't wait to read it in Oct.

@Meganisrad @Xbox @lightbane Put a little controller in front of her and she'll think she's playing.

We're publishing @cousineggplant's fantastic Bowuigi fanzine! Bowser and Luigi are in love - but there's a spanner in the works: Mario! Faced with his brother's disapproval, Luigi struggles to assert himself, and risks losing a hurt Bowser in the process. https://t.co/2tn3DQqhzy

@Meganisrad Don't blame me blame your dead skin cells.

That made my night. I realize I'm high on nostalgia, but the vibe in the NES era was weird. Felt like anything was possible, and crazy shit like this was published. (I guess now we get Fortnite books for baffled parents to buy?)

Just going to end with a favorite: Castlevania 3. Unbelievable level design, best art on the platform, high difficulty backed with tight design/controls, tons of interactions, secrets, and choices. (Look at all those tips!) I could have drawn these in my sleep as a kid.

Randomly stumbled upon the #NES Game Atlas today. I remember spending hours studying this book when I was in elementary school, laying on the floor creasing my elbows on the carpet. What the hell is in this guy. #Nintendo

To see Duck Tales's quality, just compare it to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game. They're both equally ambitious in different ways, but Capcom actually made a beautiful, playable game and Konami made THAT UNDERWATER LEVEL
