According to the schedule, the Shy Guy yogurt comes out this Friday.  Since I've written that article, I've been back to try Toad's, Goomba's, and Peach's flavors.  I also got Yoshi and Peach spoons.  Some flavors only last for a week (I missed out on Yoshi's flavor), but some have been there for a while, like Mario and Toad's flavors.  So if you really want Shy Guy's, I'd go this week!  Although that's pretty far to go just for yogurt.  I thought that my six miles was long enough!

I played a demo of Contra 4.  It was really hard, so I didn't get the game.  It was made by WayForward, though, which is cool.

I love the Zelda Four Swords Anniversary Edition!  What's cool is that after you beat the main quest, you can play extra level maps based on Link to the Past, Link's Awakening, and the original NES Zelda!  It's awesome.

If you are on a 3DS multiplayer kick, you should download Gotta Protectors.  Only one person needs a copy of the game, and the rest can join via download play.  It's easy to do and fast, and the game is fantastic!

I liked that you said you enjoy bad films.  I think that's why I like Mystery Science Theater 3000 so much.  I've watched the RE movies.  Not in theaters, but when they come to home video or TV.  I'll probably skip out on Suicide Squad, though.

LEGO games are best played with another person.  I never play 'em all by myself, actually.

I really like Super Metroid, Zero Mission, and the Prime games.  Also Metroid Prime Pinball.  I'll skip out on that Federation Force game.  I don't have to like and play ALL of Nintendo's titles. :)

And let's not forget the stage in Kirby's Dream Land 3 where Kirby and Samus teamed up!  (yes it happened)

The problem with Other M is that all other Metroid games are spectaclar, and Other M wasn't THAT bad, just a bit on the mediocre side.  The storyline didn't bother me and the Ridley scene, while out of place, didn't bother me much either.  What did bother me was some of the gameplay choices.  Like how you aimed missles for instance.  I felt the Metroid Prime games really did it right, Nintendo should just go back to doing those, or even better, another 2-D Metroid. 

Glad you got the DK vehicle!  I'll probably skip out on Suicide Squad.

I hope you can find the Bowser Skylander as well as the corresponding vehicles for him and DK.  They're really neat.  Of course, as you know, they'll only work on the Nintendo versions.  The upcoming Skylanders game will have a Crash Bandicoot figure, I imagine he'll only be playable in the Sony versions?  Neat thing about the Skylander toys and vehicles is they just scream, 'play with me!'

I never got into the NES version, but when I was in school, one summer I attended a band camp on an empty college campus.  The dorm lobby had a few arcade machines, and one of them was Track & Field.  That was where I learned about all the secrets in the arcade version.  It's too bad the DS version of Track & Field wasn't very good.  It had a lot of great Konami character cameos in it, including Sparkster, Rumble Roses, and even Kid Dracula!

Thanks!  Yeah I may not be a video game journalism success story, but I think it's pretty good that I've been able to stick it out 20 years.  Too bad 1up.com didn't last a few more years, or I would have been able to say I posted there for ten years!
