Starting a thread for every game I complete that I want to discuss. Games I choose to highlight will be decided much more on how they made me feel than by a more objective measure of quality or popularity. I hope it leads to an eclectic list of game reviews from all genres, and of opinions. #1 below
Pretty sure I spotted Dichen Lachman playing Impa in the Legend of Zelda movie behind the scenes clip that leaked. Please tell me I'm right.

In Super Mario Galaxy, the stars on the letters of the logo spell "u r mr gay", while for the movie it says "he mr gay". This is because you are watching Mario, not playing him.

STOP THE PRESSES.
The ROM for the unreleased Famicom RPG Splatter World has been released (in a thread on 4chan, of all places). I've tried it myself, and it does seem to be genuine. If it's a fake, it's a damn good one.
Expect (more) coverage on West Mansion soon.

Playing Trails of the Sky: 1st Chapter is a wild rollercoaster of being rich one minute and then immediately broke the next when a new character joins your party.
