I thought it would be more tiring than that but an average day at work is much much much more tiring.

@Xiahou Ba Personally I always hated long drives as a kid, even going on vacation, if they took four to six hours or more; they were pretty boring and I got pretty tired; I imagine that as an adult having to actually do the driving for that long would be even more exhausting. God, now thinking about that I feel bad for my Dad because he usually did the driving.

3D Land's a good-looking game, I like playing through the compact diorama-like levels, it's endearing. The clean graphic look's sleek, I enjoy when Mario games have just the right amount of abstractness, instead of whatever Odyssey did. It's a thin line to balance, when one of these things lean too far into one direction, hyper fidelity or rudimentary simplicity, the world quickly ceases to be meaningful to me.

Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS are my best example of what I mean. N64, too many flat colors, too geometric it's nothing to me but a wacky digital sandbox to blast through, it's a fun toy. DS, there's texture, there's life, but it's not real life, it's a cartoon, there's still clear deliberateness and artifice to its pieces but no longer am I looking at glue, I'm appreciating the world's stitches. My favorite Mario games are like sweaters, does that make sense? Don't answer that. I can vibe in them, they're satisfying, that's as well as I can phrase it. If the game's not a sweater it should be a cute little insect I can admire in my palm, pretty much everything in-between feels awkward. This applies to more than Mario actually, it applies to my taste in video games in general... Similes. Tangents. 3D Land's a good-looking game that found a sweet spot.

3D Land is a very underrated game; it's fantastic and unfortunately overshadowed by 3D World. My first ever 3DS game, obtained on Christmas Day 2011, so nostalgic. I need to play it again!

Honestly, 3D Land and 3D World are more true to the roots of Mario games than this odd collect-a-thon very commonplace in the beginnings of the 3D era. You'd expect a very linear adventure with not too much elements in exploration also be showcased in a 3D entry.

Hi everyone, I just finished Season 3 of Adventure Time. It was definitely my favourite season so far! Here are my thoughts:
  • My favourite episodes were Fionna and Cake and What Was Missing, both being extremely nostalgic childhood favourites, in WWM's case I distinctly recall it being my #1 favourite episode in the entire show when I was a kid, with F+C being a close runner up. So I was over the moon when I encountered them right next to each other on the season 3 DVD having been wondering since the beginning when they'd show up. Both episodes feature very fun stories, lovely songs (especially I'm Just Your Problem and My Best Friends in the World), heartwarming interactions between the protagonists, and fantastic morals about womens' independence, and the value of truthfulness and friendship above material treasures. I also really loved Bubblegum and Marceline's outfits in What Was Missing, they're both very stylish and I remember styling my makeshift fashion after them when I was a kid. I also really liked the interactions between the two women in this episode, which although it's not technically the first time they interact it's the first we really see into their relationship, and as someone who cares a lot about the LGBTQ+ community being represented in media, I loved that this episodes subtly hints a possible romantic past between the two women, though I'm aware that sadly the episode got a lot of backlash from homophobes for this reason. F+C introduces a gender-swapped version of the main cast, who were very interesting to meet, and I especially love Cake. And I have to say that this episode really touched my young heart as a (then closeted) trans kid, and it really hits different to watch it now for the first time since I've now been living as female full-time for so many years, and who still hasn't really had a boyfriend yet.
However, I do have kind of mixed feelings about the ending where both Fionna and Cake start talking with admiration about the "Ice King", describing him as "the hottest hottie", and it's then revealed that the entire story was all a very weird fanfic written by the Ice King. I am aware that there is more detail later on about the existence of Fionna and Cake's world but I don't know what these details are and don't want to be spoiled on them.
  • My least favourite episode was Paper Pete, because I found it largely boring and low-key gross in parts, didn't like any of the new characters introduced, didn't feel it had a good moral, and felt bad for Jake who just wanted to study his girlfriend's heritage in peace, thus I found Finn's behaviour selfish and unreasonable.
  • I thought Conquest of Cuteness was an okay episode, but not the best as a season premiere.
  • Memory of a Memory was a great episode with an engaging story with a great plot twist. I enjoyed seeing Marceline get further development to her character and backstory. I did find the scene with baby Finn a bit weird and off-putting though.
  • Too Young was a fantastic episode. I loved seeing Bubblegum in her younger form, and her interactions with Finn. This episode is also the debut of the Earl of Lemongrab, who is an extremely iconic and entertaining character, and I adored seeing him deliver his first "UNACCEPTABLE!!!" In my opinion, this episode definitely should've been the season premiere.
However, I do feel a little dissappointed that the "Bubblegum is de-aged into a 13 year old" dilemma was resolved within a single episode having been the big cliffhanger from the season 2 finale, and a part of me wishes we'd gotten to see more of young Bubblegum.

  • The Monster I found a relatively weaker episode, for some reason I can remember it more than most episodes from when I saw it as a kid, probably I saw it several times I guess.
  • Wizard Battle was fairly entertaining and a decent debut for Abracadaniel, however I don't like how the prize for winning the competition is a form of physical contact with a female character, that feels kinda gross to me to be frank.
  • The Creeps was a very fun mystery episode, with an engaging plot, and ends on a mysterious cliffhanger which leaves me eager to find out more in future seasons.
  • From Bad to Worse was a brilliant, captivatingly dramatic zombie episode and a great sequel to the season 1 premiere, Slumber Party Panic.
  • No One Can Hear You was an extremely strange and confusing episode, but I guess I kind of enjoyed it.
  • Thank You was a very heartwarming episode which I remember well from my childhood, it makes me feel nostaglic and I'm not sure I remember the reason but I remember that this episode made me feel a sense of closeness and gratitude to my dad in connection to some of the time we'd spend together at weekends when I was younger.
  • Holly Jolly Secrets was an excellent two-part Christmas special, and though it feels weird to watch a Christmas special in May I wasn't going to wait.
I also think it's very interesting how this episode is the first to reveal Ice King's backstory as a man named Simon Petrikov who was given magical ice powers but also driven to insanity, slowly becoming the Ice King, and causing his wife Betty to leave him. Though Ice King's only reaction to Finn and Jake uncovering his backstory is feeling embarassed he used to wear glasses.
  • Ghost Princess was a really interesting episode which expands on the titular character who previously had only been seen in minor appearances. It has a really good plot, starting off with an intriguing mystery before having a massive plot-twist mid-episode.
  • Dad's Dungeon was a very fun episode giving us more insight into Finn and Jake's dad, and the song Jake makes by remixing his dad's tapes unironically slaps.
  • Incendium was a pretty good season 3 finale - I'd say better than season 1's but not quite as good as season 2's. This time, we're back to a 1-parter season finale, but that's okay. This episode is a good debut to Flame Princess - a character I remember being quite a big fan of when I was younger - showcasing the cute, romantic, and curious sides of her personality as well as the angry and powerful side of her, as well as introducing the Flame King, Flambo, and the Fire Kingdom as a whole. I really enjoyed Jake's whimsical behaviour in this episode, such as him using his stretchy powers to pretend Finn was there before pretend-Finn gets mad and attacks Jake. I also thought All Gummed Up Inside / All Warmed Up Inside was a good song. Overall, I think this was a great episode to wrap up season 3 and I look forward to seeing more of Flame Princess in future episodes!

Due to personal, family, and college issues I will not come back to the wiki or the forums permanently. I'm sorry that I vented, I didn't mean to bring out my personal issues into the wiki and made you guys uncomfortable or uncomfortable in general by how I acted or behaved in the wiki/fourms, I didn't mean to. Feel free to delete my account mods.

Signing off for the very last time

I freaking HATE fire ants. They're really aggressive and their bites itch like crazy, and their ugly mounds pop up everywhere, and even worse they're bullies and harass and terrorize other species of ants as well as other insects. They also bit me several times as a child growing up when I kicked over their mounds and so I hate them with a passion. I didn't know what to post so wanted to post some random thoughts today.

This October to go with the theme of Halloween I plan to be either Ickis or Oblina from the Nickelodeon Real Monsters cartoon.

the guest waw Dan Howell (from Dan & Phil) at the show I went to. The second half which he was in was entirely just a scripted bit about how much he secretly hated Phil.

That sounds pretty different, Jschlatt was at mine and it was mostly him pretending to be aggressively conservative and insulting other YouTubers.

Except they kept being sidetracked by the crowd getting them to chug water bottles lol

You know, know that I've played Sonic it's making me sort of dissatisfied with Mario's comparatively blander level themes. The New Super series, sure, but even classic games don't give their levels particularly interesting or distinct identities- Marble Zone, Spring Yard Zone, etc. has way more character than 1-1, 1-2, or even say, Donut Plains.

Like, you call it Donut Plains but it's basically a normal grassland area. Why not do something more interesting with that and have actual donuts floating around... or something? Mario Kart does a comparatively better job at this, tbh

3D Mario, of course, is a different story altogether. They don't have this problem except for the two when they tried to make it 2D but the 3D was the 2... D.

Anyways, this a roundabout way of me saying I, so far, much prefer Sonic's stronger focus on world building, environmental storytelling, and distinct characters. Mario is much more tightly designed, but I find that to be less and less engaging for me personally these days.
