Last Game I Finished: Imaginary Range

"We constantly have to revisit 'Why would Donkey Kong do this?' or 'Why would this environment be like this?' And then we start thinking: 'We're making a game about a gorilla wearing a tie.'"
-Michael Kelbaugh of Retro Studios on Donkey Kong Country Returns



"I have to say it's kinda scary how much you know about this game."

Happy New Year. Like the Thanksgiving ep I'll skip the christmas ep and get to the New Year one. A few things I have to disagree about this ep was that Doritos Dash of Destruction is Yaris 2. I actually liked the gameplay as a fast frenetic game to play for about 15 minutes. The way the achievements are handled is pretty rediculous as I started playing and I noticed the little achievement message going off over and over which shouldn't detract from the gameplay but should be noticed that anyone you see online playing this has 200 points that was easy to achieve. Also if anyone actually watches these, I may get flack for the SSBB footage in Anthony's part. I think its justified for the Subspace Emissary.

Highlights:
