The #Kongversation is back for its 14th season! On the premiere episode, @geekcritique.org and I discuss January's big Donkey Kong Country Returns HD update, which retconned Dixie Kong into the adventure!

Been playing Hades II since the end of last month, and after 35 hours I finally beat Chronos (MASTER OF ALL TIME!). Got so lucky with Toula, triple moon beams and the Sea Star boon. Still have a long way to go, but what a blast this game is. Fell in love all over again.

It's my 14th(!) anniversary of making videos on YouTube, so instead of watching my earliest crap, check out my latest crap if you so choose to celebrate!

When I started playing DK Bananza, I thought the discussions between DK and Pauline during sleepy time reminded me of that one episode of Rugrats where Tommy stays over at Chucky's house. So I recreated that scene in Bananza's style.

A common misconception (James' voices go down a similar path as well)!

The third, actually! Sussman was the original Meowth before Maddie came in around EP32, and while Cathcart took on the role in 2006, he was already writing for Meowth a few years prior via script adaptation (which he did till the tail end of the Ash saga).

Sorry, big Meowth fan here.

I also do them in the styles of Matthew Sussman and Carter Cathcart's Meowths. All are valid in my eyes (and throat)!

I even do some mumbling in the style of Inuko Inuyama.

I still can’t believe what a near-perfect game Donkey Kong Bananza turned out to be.

I've gotten criticism for having emotion.

Or sounding like some variation of Goku.

They've also said they were weird, which I just believe is a weak descriptor because there's weird shows from all over the world. Most shows out there are weird in their own way.

Cranky devises the worst mechanic I've ever seen in a DK game. How ape-propo.

I'm telling ya, if Flapjack was made in Canada in any capacity, people would take that fact alone and say that's why it was so weird. People who have a shallow outlook on cartoons, that is.

Today, Conker's Bad Fur Day turns 25!

It's easy to take for granted if all you've ever known is BFD being the "naughty" game with diarrhea and piss, but having followed it since E3 1997 (as Conker's Quest) and the character's debut in Diddy Kong Racing, it's still surreal that this even happened...

This can be the fault of the actors, the voice director, etc., but I think everyone involved has much more room to grow and learn in their professions here. I'm not only speaking as an actor, but as a viewer who keeps getting taken out of this stylized world by flat line reads/screams, etc.

Watching Tales of TMNT S2, and while it looks amazing, the voice acting can still be distractingly flat (if a character even talks).

I know the Turtles recorded separately, but many other shows do the same, and as a viewer I can't tell. Don't care how it's done, just make it sound good.

Show of hands, if I say the words "Silver Snail", how many of you would know immediately what that is? No cheating.

I can't believe people are still saying "Canadian cartoons are so weird compared to American ones".
