Highlander 5x05 - Dramatic License
After several episodes that tackled more serious subject matter, we're overdue for a comedy episode. Episode 5 here is, as the French say, "le goof". Which is just what le doctor ordered.

Super Mario 64 (Nintendo 64, 1996)
This is still, to this day, probably my favorite 3D Mario game (though Mario Galaxy got close), and I'm long overdue for a replay of it. I've beaten this game all of twice ever previously: Once in 1999 when I finally got an N64, and once in 2012 or so on the Wii Virtual Console where I got all 120 stars. Now I play it a third time to talk about it here. Just beating the game (70 stars) and trying to do it fairly quickly. I'll also be looking at some of the Nintendo Power coverage to see if I can evoke some twinges of nostalgia over just how beyond-hyped people were for this.

Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin - Act III
Portrait of Ruin draws to a close, as unfortunately this super-good game has an end. Took about 8 hours, would have been totally fine with it taking another 20. Today I take out the last four portraits.
Ya know, I'm starting to wonder if Konami saw these 2D 'Vanias as B-Team projects and most of their resources went into the 3D console 'Vanias. Which would be kinda comical considering how much better-regarded Iga's 2D creations are. I don't even really think of the 3D 'Vanias as the same series.

Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin (Nintendo DS, 2006)
In my continuing quest to figure out what the best of the big eight Iga-Metroidvanias is (the six portables, plus Symphony and Bloodstained), I've got two left and this is one of 'em. It's definitely a major contender. And I'll say this, Circle of the Moon isn't going to win, probably because it's the Iga-Metroidvania that doesn't even contain Iga.
Regardless, this game is freaking fantastic, and is a direct sequel to Castlevania Bloodlines.
