    This is a sweet thought, because when I played through the game, I even found the body language/poses of the constructs to be quite endearing! They're so polite, too.

    According to this reckoning, he'll be 34 by the ceremony this- Aaaaaand I just realized you more likely meant going by his debut as a character and not an obscure Supper Mario Broth tweet, which means he'd be 37 by the time of the ceremony, going off the Japanese release date for the original SMB.

    Beyond Belief with Meowkie Frakes

    The year? 2007. A lawless time. The Wii was still new. Super Mario Galaxy 2? Not even a whisper on the wind. The 'Shroom? In its infancy, and not that much to talk about at that point, if we're being honest. You might ask yourself "why would anyone go back to those dark times?" Yeah, well kid...

    It's a common problem. You go to the theater, and anymore it seems like there's always someone who has their phone out! They're either checking their messages or they're even recording videos of themselves, these days. You've surely been there before, haven't you? When the theater staff won't...

    I think you can get away with "Watashi wa [name]" if you just need a general purpose way of saying it? I don't know Japanese, really, so take that advice with a grain of salt, but I know that translates to "I am name", and I know "watashi" can be gender-neutral in a formal context. If you're...

    I'd pick option two, as well. The movie was enjoyable - very fun stuff - and I didn't have any major issues with it. As a matter of fact, I found the score was, for the most part, great. I think it would have benefited from being just a tad less compressed, though.

    Upcoming Game Catalog

    My honest take here, Blathers, is that I'm most interested in whichever idea you feel you are more capable of and comfortable with hosting and whichever is more developed. That is to say, I'm equally interested in seeing you give the Midnight Hotel another shot and seeing you give Duowars a...

    What's the console UI/menu you miss the most?

    While it's not as efficient as the Switch menu, I do sometimes feel some nostalgia for the Wii menu. It just had this nice sleek-but-playful look, where it avoided going too minimalist with its buttons, sound effects, and submenus like the message board, but also kept everything nicely...
