HOLY #$*!! I can’t believe this has finally happened! https://www.siliconera.com/2019/10/30/9-etrian-odyssey-game-osts-are-now-available-on-various-music-streaming-platforms/

Playing Magi-nation. Remember how I complained about Azure Dreams GBC? Yeah, give me that thing over "can't do crap without a walkthrough and some things are literally not programmed into the game and require sharking and WTH is that battle system" mess any day.

This bloomin’ green ‘at is too big for me ‘ead. COR BLIMEY, that St. Patrick bloke must’ve been a giant or somefin’!

Started a little Dragon Quest art blog to share art from the old manuals and guides most newer players haven't seen. Come and check it out here: dragonquestart.tumblr.com I usually do one post a day.

In DWM I have a female Slime Borg. If I was able to name it anything longer than 4 alphanumeric characters I would call her Seven of Slime.

Happy Thanksgiving to the Den! I totally just spent four hours overestimating my ability to cook food in a synchronized matter and a sibling had to come bail me out with my perogi and some of my chili, but all in all, dinner tastes fantastic.

Happy All Hallow's Eve to the Den!

I found my Nintendo Switch! Right between my couch cushions, one of the first places I checked and it got checked multiple times. I don't know how I missed it for literally weeks.

Visitors I see! 🤗

Who's the guy in your avatar?

Fun fact: I got my avatar from your video about the rarest DQ game.

So apparently somebody leaked TF2's source-code. There goes a business.

The final Mario Maker 2 update looks pretty damn good.

Happy Easter to the Den!

Toei launches classic tokusatsu channel on Youtube: https://variety.com/2020/tv/news/japan-toei-tokusatsu-launches-youtube-channel-1203538735/

Good news guys! There’s going to be a Nintendo Direct tomorrow! ...For Indie Games! I know, I know, it’s very exciting and just what we’ve been waiting for.

Everyone be safe out there.

So Scooby-Doo and Guess Who seems like a poorly-disguised attempt to make use of all those leftover Hanna Barbera IPs. Shame that the writing is nowhere near as clever as Be Cool, Scooby Doo.

My life will never have more DQ2 in it than it will in this picture:

INJURY: Just found Windows is advertising apps in my start menu. INSULT: The app in question is for typing practice.

I am feeling an odd nostalgia for the Windows XP install process. I did install the OS countless times growing up, but still... Odd.

Back again after 2 years😆

Some day, I want to do a DQIX run where I model a bunch of party members after all the characters from the official art. There are a good three or four consistent parties Nine runs around with in the art.

Finally in the fleshing-out stage of my series sleuth, Rinaldo Allegri! An Italian displaced from Florence at the onset of The Great War, Rinaldo Allegri made his way to London, whereupon he became a car salesman, employing his charming foreignness, winning smile and his skill of making sure he always had his client's fullest attention to engage in a lucrative career. Following the automotive slump years of 1922 to 1929, Allegri was now out of a job. With his newly grown love for riddles and crossword puzzles to keep his always-active mind occupied, his entrepreneurial side saw the profit in Britain's skyrocketing crime rates and became a consulting detective. And just the very first job he'd need to market himself to the world of victims and victims' families everywhere had fallen perfectly in his lap... A seemingly impossible murder, the editor-in-chief of newspaper The Daily Hermes was found shot in the chest in his 25th floor office preceding the mysterious disappearance of his body. Only ten minutes earlier had Daily Hermes speculative reporter Ezra Hawkins stormed out of his office in a huff. Ezra Hawkins was soon to be tried with murder. That is, of course, until Rinaldo Allegri, who was convinced his poor man could never have been the killer, comes onto the scene. "Uffa!", he makes a flourished gesture with his hands, "The English police are the most dim! The killer leads them along like the horse to the carrot on a string. Yet... che partita! Just like the silly murder novels, too!"

Yikes, I have 7 Dragon Quest games to play and no time... Actually this is a good thing..

DK Stars is live in five!

Mr Burns: "Excellent." https://nintendosoup.com/japanese-scalpers-burned-after-nintendo-switch-resale-prices-crash-by-over-usd100/

So I got a Rank Up here in the Den and completely failed to notice until today. Do I get any skill points?

I was really bored earlier, so I decided to spend way longer than I probably should have making a meme based on a Fire Emblem meme I saw several years ago. Enjoy.

So apparently the Uberkilling Machine from DQ VI is a memetic badass in Japan. I was on a Japanese wiki for the series and the Aside section has over half a dozen different tales of how lethal it is. (https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=ja&sp=nmt4&tl=en&u=https://wikiwiki.jp/dqdic3rd/%E3%80%90%E3%82%AD%E3%83%A9%E3%83%BC%E3%83%9E%E3%82%B8%E3%83%B3%E3%82%AC%E3%80%91&xid=17259,15700022,15700186,15700191,15700259,15700271&usg=ALkJrhhVls4QUC2RnMH6_vJAvygigjxKMg#l0dd8155)

I am home almost three weeks of hospital stay and two surgeries, thanks to pneumonia.

Shut up, Lazarel. We are not unstoppable. We were stopped very hard, several times.

Happy Epiphany to the Den!

Merry Twelfth Day of Christmas to the Den! I'm late again, but I hope you had a good one.

Merry eleventh day of Christmas to the Den! I have tasted pain in Pokemon Let's Go. I was racking up the catch combo to flush out a Charmander and then the Charmander got away, so now I must restart from the beginning.

Happy New Year to the Den! AND a Merry Eighth Day of Christmas! (I remembered!)

Merry Seventh Day of Christmas to the Den! Something else is supposed to happen today, I forget, maybe I'll remember later tonight.

Merry Sixth Day of Christmas to the Den! FOR THE FILMMAKERS: humblebundle.com has a film software bundle you may be interested in. https://www.humblebundle.com/software/professional-filmmaking-tools-software?hmb_source=navbar&hmb_medium=product_tile&hmb_campaign=tile_index_2

Merry Fourth Day of Christmas to the Den! Loss Leader is a colossal pain in the butt.

Merry Second Day of Christmas to the Den! I FINALLY killed the Wanted Atlas from DQH2.

Merry First Day of Christmas from the West Coast, y'all.

It's Christmas! Time to watch Jack Benny drive Mel Blanc to suicide.

So I just discovered https://twitter.com/DQNoContext.

So, ages ago, I posted a link to a Tumblr video about a DQ parody series. Today I have discovered the title of this series: Hero Yoshihiko and the Devil-King's Castle.

It's time for another Good Idea, Bad Idea. GOOD IDEA: So I finally bit the bullet and got myself a Switch. Grabbed Pokemon LG Pikachu edition because I played the original Yellow edition twenty years ago and wanted to follow up. BAD IDEA: Neglected to get DQXI with it.

Happy Thanksgiving, guvs! Hope everyone has a great day whenever and whoever you spend today with!

TIL the Ninja Rap from the TMNT movies was apparently written by the legendary Frank Miller.

Saw Aladdin live and it's less charming, witty, and clever than the original. There are several points where things are different in such a way that it becomes apparent the creative staff doesn't really understand the original.

THE SUN HAS BEEN KIDNAPPED! https://johnhughesdidnotdirectmylife.tumblr.com/post/185893964182/they-deleted-this-from-the-first-toy-story-movie

FINALLY got to see Endgame and I was delighted. Even my bitter, critical heart was pleased with eleven years of payoffs coming one after another down the pipe.
