Super Mario 3D World (SM3DW) is incredible. I don’t mean “oh wow, this game is so great, this is the best platformer of the year!”. No. I mean “this game is so excellent, it reminds us what Nintendo means to our culture and gives the Wii U a fighting chance in the console wars.” Seriously. I often found myself stunned how much fun I (and a few of my friends) were having.
DuckTales Remastered is a lovingly recrafted game and a true gem of a platformer. As it’s on sale today at 5.99$, do yourself a favor and go pick it up.

Screw cyber Monday. To hell with black Friday. My consumer dollars are spent at the thrift shops around the nation. I believe in “Secondhand Saturday.” After 20 years of thrift shopping (and 10 years of blogging about it), I have learned some things. Secret things. Universal laws that govern the ebb and flow and tides of secondhand goods.
