Croc: Legend of the Gobbos Platinum Edition
This is Croc, for better or worse. The modern controls are eh. Things tend to be a bit to ice physicy & stiff.
The remastered graphics are ok, a bit melty, nice that you can swap to the original, which looks great w/ the new rendering

And twas, only near the end, did Sentai and Power Ranger fans realize, they were in fact on the same boat together as one, and were in fact the same thing.
Will they learn the lesson for next time? Probably not.
And was another lesson that Tommy Oliver held up all of it? Maybe.

True fact...
After I picked a clip & uploaded it, I sent it to nearly everyone at Discotek to get their thoughts on if it seemed like a good sample.
They got so distracted commenting on how pretty the remaster was even as a Youtube clip, that almost none of them answered the question.

Seeing there is a Realtek audio driver update.
No driver more likely to cause chaos and not install properly.
Everything else on the PC is updated.
It's tempting...

I'm still quite happy with imported Blu-rays of The Substitute films.
Them all getting Blu-ray releases was always enough of a stretch that discs that are, between all 4 films, C+/B- at best videowise honestly feels like gold to still have.
Still trashy, shlocky action fun.

Opened a can to try one.
Honestly... it's probably some of the weaker tonic water I've had.
It isn't terrible, but definitely weak. Doesn't have that punch you expect straight tonic water to have.
Not sure I've ever had tonic water sweetened with stevia though, so I wonder if that's clashing.

Sometimes I have to check HDR stuff.
It'll be the middle of the night, and I'll hit the shortcut key to switch my PC to HDR mode and get an extreme flashbang.
Which light filter do you use that quits like that?

So Woot had a sale on food & drink items.
I decided I would try Zevia Tonic Water, limit 3 cans. Fine, I ordered 3 with other stuff.
They shipped 2, then shipped 1.
The '2 cans' arrived today. 30 cans, over 5 packs, in 2 boxes, in 1 bigger box.
What will the 1 be tomorrow?

Just found our Carl Mueller Jr. passed away a couple months ago, a few months after the last time we chatted (right before Skype closed.)
Great guy to talk to about retro games & he had done so much for Intellivision fans in relation to early emulation & doing homebrew games.

So many potential games to play.

Just skimmed the 4k remaster of The Mask.
Honestly not a lot to say here, looks amazing.
It's not so long ago a movie like The Mask you'd just hope got something decent, you'd barely dream for something fantastic.

Frankenstein from @realgdt.bsky.social is the type of movie that reminds you why you love movies & recharges you.
Well told, rich characters, visuals that jump from gorgeous to disturbing at the drop of a hat.
Knowing nods to other versions & tales akin to Frankenstein (& other classics.)

Early thoughts on Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment.
Time away from Warriors games had made it feel a bit fresh to me. Good characters, sense of wonder with Zelda.
FPS is a bit wonky, cutscenes have odd stutters.
Nothing wildly odd for Warriors.
Enjoying it so far.
