I went to watch Ismail: The Last Days at KLPac with Nora yesterday. I’ve never considered myself as a cultured person (despite what my Visual Bookshelf says) but I think that Ismail was pretty good.

another NES classic bites the dust. i’d played and beaten mega man 2 back when i was a tyke, and i think it was one of the few times my mom let me rent a video game. i really didn’t remember anything about it, but after the announcement of the completely retro, completely 8-bit-styled upcoming [...]
