I just love her! Great actress, and her way back in the day standup comedy was hilarious. 😊💖💯👏🏾
Ok, so I know it’s a strange opinion and a lot of people are going to disagree with me but I still have to say it. The 3rd live action TMNT movie from 1993 was the best and let me explain. If you took it seriously then it’s a weird movie, but this is a movie franchise about giant talking turtles who know ninjitsu, so how seriously are you actually taking this movie. This is clearly a action comedy, it’s funny. I don’t know about you, but a giant talking turtles with a Brooklyn accent going back in time to give life advice to a young Asian boy is the funniest shit in the world. One of the turtles (Mikey) literally flirts with the said little boy’s sister like he’s Barry Benson from the “Bee Movie” while she’s acting all stoic while longing for her actual boyfriend. The bad guy is a creepy white dude who cares more about his birds than actual human life. His love for his birds is one of the causes of his down fall! That is so fucking weird! That’s why it’s funny!
Imagine being the person to pitch this to a movie executive. “Ok, so why does the turtle have a Brooklyn accent?” ”Because he’s from New York?” ”Then why is he in ancient Japan?” ”Because he and his brothers went back in time to stop a creepy white dude who may or may not really want to fuck his birds.” ”Oh ok, but I think the script their time traveling device is referred to as a ‘egg timer’ so is it small and egg shaped?” ”No, it looks like a large dildo with a lamp on it.” ”Great, here’s some money! This is going ti be the next big thing!”

My two (two!) pieces for the “Magical Girl Heroines: Sailor Moon and Sailor Senshi”gallery show, happening THIS SATURDAY (that’s tomorrow!) at Q-Pop in lovely downtown Los Angeles! The art i’ve already seen for this show looks AMAZING and i’m super pumped to be part of it along with many talented pals and talented potential-future-pals.

Playing through it right now… 🗡️🏹🧝♀️🧙
The latest version, anyhow (somehow I missed out on it the first time round) - I feel this is one of those foundational things in the hobby, like Fighting Fantasy/Choose Your Own Adventure books (and Space Crusade, that was very much my on-ramp into this kind of nerdery)
I do still distinctly remember the TV adverts, though…
(As an aside, I feel like the newest edition has done a much better job in terms of adding a modicum of diversity to the world than the original ever did… the advert is funny though 😆)
Edit: I’m now learning that the original North American run in the 90s did feature a couple of female PC models in expansions, not just the recent edition!
Have you played HEROQUEST ?
By Stephen Baker
HeroQuest is Milton Bradley's approach to a Dungeons & Dragons-style adventure game. One player acts as game master, revealing the maze-like dungeon piecemeal as the players wander. Up to four other players take on a character (wizard, elf, dwarf, or barbarian) and venture forth into dungeons on fantasy quests. Plastic miniatures and 3-D furniture make this game very approachable. Expansions were also released for this system.
The HeroQuest series consists of the main game and a number of expansions.
This game was made in cooperation with Games Workshop who designed the miniatures and helped in many of the production details including background world and art in the rule book and scenario book.
Poll runner note : Not to be confused with Heroquest roleplaying in glorantha by Greg Stafford
Trying to remember if this was the first game I ever ran, or if that was D&D... 🤔
Probably qualifies as not necessarily good, but fun!
It did however leave me with a vague lingering desire to get hold of a tyrannosaurus skeleton mini...
Have you played ADVANCED FIGHTING FANTASY ?
By Marc Gascoigne & Pete Tamlyn
A pretty clumsy RPG adaptation of the British Fighting Fantasy gamebook line and it's World of Titan setting.
I used to watch the nostalgia critic until he released his video about Hocus Pocus and said it was bad and unfunny and you fuckking bet I haven’t watched a single nc video since
