Magical Quest: Starring Mickey Mouse


I don't know if this game is easy or hard. It's incredibly easy to die, or I just really suck, but death doesn't really mean much. You have three lives, and each time you die you start the level over. Though once you hit the game over screen you have two options, continue, or don't. If you hit continue its as if all you did was just lose a life. The only hitch is that you lose your accumulated score, but since when has anyway one really cared about that in a non-competitive setting? Since never.

Twilight Zone Episode 17 - The Fever

"Mr. and Mrs. Franklin Gibbs, three days and two nights, all expenses paid, at a Las Vegas hotel, won by virtue of Mrs. Gibbs' knack with a phrase. But unbeknownst to either Mr. or Mrs. Gibbs is the fact that there's a prize in their package neither expected nor bargained for. In just a moment, one of them will succumb to an illness worse than any virus can produce, a most inoperative, deadly, life-shattering affliction known as 'The Fever'."


This episode is a perfect representation of the two extremes of The Twilight Show. The realm of complete ridiculum, and a genuine problem.

Platinum Notes

Depending on who you are this game is either the best 35 bucks you'll spend, or a total waste. I fall into the former camp, and I'm hella glad for that.

The changes from Diamond have been subtle, but pretty fantastic. Every area has had at least a bit of a graphical overhaul, which was nice and really made the game prettier. The Elite 4, and Battle Island or whatever the devil it's called look particularly splendid in comparison to Diamond. Back sprite animations are pretty nifty albeit completely unnecessary, it made my heart flutter though as a long time fan.

The Adventures of Sardam

So I have a friend, named Sara, and Sara kind of ends up going to Juvie a lot. On her latest journey there I told her that instead of writing her letters, I was just going to draw her a comic. I meant just a page or two originally, and the first few pages reflect this, however as I thought about it, the idea blossomed and became it's own creature. Now I sit at the finale of the first issue, of what I hope will eventually be more. It's not perfect by any means, and the art is iffy at best (though better than most of my previous work).

Anyway, I know pretty much no one reads this blog, though if anyone just happens to stumble upon this place I IMPLORE/BEG you to go and visit the comic's blog. It's a relatively good read, and I want some feedback. Thank you so much in advance.
