I remember enjoying the Star Wars tie in at Pizza Hut back in the early 2000s. Weirdly, I saw the pizza boxes at Retro Con for sale last month. The cup toppers were the best though. I used to have them all.

Sure, but another console to add to my collection. It's almost irresistible.

I just finished revisiting the first five games (1-3 and the 2 on PSP) and onto Ascension next. I kind of haven't finished the reboot and never tried Ragnarok, but I will get to it. I'm always interested in reading about GoW games, even one's I haven't gotten to yet.

The high price of fast food is really what keeps me away from it. One of the reasons why you only see me write about Happy Meals mostly is because they are cheap and the portions are small. I did just read an article about Domino's teaming up with Minecraft so I am going to look into that.

I would really rather just play the arcade version of Ordyne over the TG-16 version.

I did too and will be the subject of my blog today. I haven't finished much of late.

Oh, right. The Vita had a Resistance game. I wish both PSP and Vita games were made digital on consoles like the God of War PSP games.

I solved some minor health problems just by staying away. Plus, I got properly sick one day from McDees. Never again!

Joe & Mac does look fun.

I've been trying to figure out ways to use my Switch while I'm not playing games on it just to keep it working. I get nervous when it's not being used. Maybe that battery is dying from neglect.

You just gave me a reason to own a TG-16.

YouTube, whatever is available. I've noticed that a lot of old cartoons are behind a paywall on youtube now, but not He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, which I just watched the other day.

Hey I write on a web site geared toward parents and families, what did you expect? :) On these review blog dumps, I usually put the best and most interesting games near the top, so you could say the games near the bottom are so bad it's scary! :)

That does sound pretty cool! I'll have to stick this on the ol' wishlist.

Hey, those reviews got pretty not-spooky as we went. I'm on to you, Cary.

I finally finished something this week. That's a good feeling.

One of these days I will play through the Resistance series. I even have the two portable ones.

The Garfield game doesn't have that deep of a cut. Really the biggest deep cut that game has is that one of the characters you fight is Squeak the Mouse.

Yeah the Garfield game isn't something I'd be all like, '"DUDE YOU HAVE TO CHECK OUT THIS GAME NOW!" And I can understand why some reviewers might've said it was mediocre. But I still enjoyed it for what it was. I just watched a video talking about how it's OK to enjoy mediocre games as long as you have fun, and that describes my time with the Garfield game pretty well.

I try not to go to fast food as much either. It's not healthy and it's getting pricey now.

I can't really recommend Thunder Hoop Collection since it only has two games and only one of those is decent. But I did just finish a review of Joe & Mac Retro Collection so I'd look at that instead.

I don't understand why people would use the Switch as a clock.

It's just hard because that's what I worked so hard in college, to do. And for a while I was like those YouTubers, getting to do all that cool stuff. But after the dot com bubble burst I was never able to fully bounce back. It's hard sometimes when I have to get up in the morning to go to a job I don't like just to pay the bills and while I'm getting ready I hear about all these YouTuber upstarts getting to go do stuff like that. Very discouraging. I know I should get my own YouTube channel but then I'd have to find the funds to get all the equipment I would need and I lack the knowhow to do all that stuff and a lot of these YouTubers have help, too, and I don't have that. It would just be me. Plus I don't know if I'd want to spend all my time chasing YouTube algorithms and such. Life just doesn't work out the way you want it to sometimes.

I never saw Ordyne in the arcade. I think it was just a Japanese exclusive. It did get a release on the TG-16 in the US, but I still never heard of it until I played it on the Namco Museums.

How are you going to watch DuckTales and Rescue Rangers? Do you have Disney+? I think you can at least watch a few of the episodes on YouTube.

I'm kind of interested in Garfield, honestly.

But it wouldn't be a Garfield Monday without a "Splut!" Or a "Gorsh!" (which is Samoan for "Splut").

That Garfield game actually looked surprisingly decent, glad to hear it turned out well, I might have to check it out eventually.

Definitely has a bit of a Dead Cells feel, really cool, ultra-vibrant graphics. It's a visual feast, no doubt.

Nintendo probably did pay for it. The industry is always chasing those with the most clout - unfortunately, that seems to be on YouTube these days. But I don't much care for the format and I never really engage with gaming YouTube.

I like some of those fast food toys but I am completely fast food free right now for health reasons.

I like those wooden dioramas in Woodo and I put that Thunder Hoop collection on my Xbox wish list.

I really should break out the Switch, even though I'm not playing it right now, for its other features like as a clock.

Did you play Ordyne in the arcade? I'd love to see and play the cabinet.

I'll have to watch some Chip n Dale this month.

Will do.

Love those graphics. Makes me think of Dead Cells.
