Some Constructive Criticism on Pennys Big Breakaway.

shoogles 2024-06-22 | I love Penny's Big Breakaway. But I didn't at first. And a lot of the people I talked to - even other Sonic fans! - didn't seem that keen either. The game has some teething issues that almost turned me away, and I wanted to shine a spotlight on them (before gushing about how great it is anyway).

Falling in love with NiGHTS into Dreams...

shoogles 2015-09-20 | A NiGHTS into Dreams... review, while also addressing folk that don't like old Sega games.

Shay Says: Prodding at Pokémon

shoogles 2014-09-24 | Apologies for the lack of Sonic video, folks. If you wait until the end I explain my reasons there.
For now, though, let's take a look at the Pokémon series before ORAS comes out and swallows all of our attention!

Shay Says: A Response to Sequelitis

shoogles 2014-08-13 | After watching Sequelitis, and with a snappy new look, Shay embarks on a quest to bore people silly as he talks in far too much detail about Zelda!

Special thanks to Squidgybuffalo for graciously allowing me to use our Let's Play footage for Ocarina of Time!

Any Erections, ShayMay?

shoogles 2014-05-30 | There are some pretty egregious strawmen in this but I'm loth to unlist it. Somebody should have taken YouTube off me.

The original Tumblr post about Samus' pose: http://supercargautier.tumblr.com/post/83729266617
