I may stop at 877 Moons, and just buy up to 999. I have no desire, at all, to do a hatless, no-motorcycle run of that timed Metro Kingdom area, where the platforms disappear. That doesn’t even sound fun. Read more

Are you kidding me? Where is the hidden 6 heart?? Read more

In my experience, the missing three purple coins are always in the pipe/door levels - the ones that transport you from the main hub of each world into a self-contained area with two Moons? Read more

This shows that Watterson knew he was wrapping things up. Making peace. Tying up loose ends. I loved this truce with Rosalyn. Read more

Just did this one too. Took your advice. ;) Read more

Thanks for reading! I mostly used the library and read through their big anthology collections when I was kid. My parents used to buy me these themed small compilations. A volume of 1960's baseball strips. A winter themed collection. An early Snoopy themed collection. Those were some of my treasured books too - I Read more

Thanks for reading. I do have more ideas! I’m just thankful the editors have permitted it to continue for so long. I don’t know any other outlet that would have allowed this.  Read more

Yeah there were definitely several times. There was the time when the house was threatened by the construction company that wanted to build a highway, I think. And there was another time where there was a massive icicle hanging over the house, and it eventually fell, destroying the structure. Read more

Absolutely. Thanks for reading, much appreciated. Read more

Do a free trial on PS Now. It’s included in that version of Heavy Rain. Read more

I’ve never seen this before. That is vicious. Read more

Yes, I don’t think this is an evolution in the manner he claims. It is a different type of experience - one does not have to follow the other. Read more

It’s still available on the Playstation Now. So there’s that. But yeah, it’s too bad it’s not on the PS4 re-release. Read more

The Taxidermist was actually one of several DLCs that was planned, and it was the only one that was released. Quantic Dream cancelled the others in order to spend time developing the re-release of Heavy Rain for the Playstation Move (which, at the time, was a terrible idea, and in retrospect, is hilarious).

He’s overrated, and he’s largely done that to himself. He would rate closer to where he actually is, if he was more gracious. But when he continually throws the rest of the industry under the bus in order to promote his own work, people aren’t going to cut him slack or overlook his flaws. Read more

I’m starring this, because I really like a lot of your points! But I disagree with the idea that the film is celebrating Mater’s behavior. It’s clearly shown that he’s the embarrassing one, and the foreign cultures are never portrayed as backwards or weird. The wasabi and the zen rock garden are not played for laughs Read more
