What IS a man? IS man a miserable little pile of secrets??? NO! Man, perhaps is M.Damiani, for he maketh me not mind Mario for he looketh like a man. Mario though, for me all these years all I could see were the human ratios of a toddler's body but with the moustache of a man's head which left me feeling disturbed. But now after the recent SM64 post here, when I see Mario I think of Man-Dam and suddenly feel okay...phew!!! On a different note, Ian if I could x10 my monthly contribution for more posts like this, I would. I hope you enjoyed your visit to the library and many thanks! I have loved this.

2017-07-09 19:46:14 +0000 UTCThat's really good. I know the guy who did the loc for it. He also did MGS1 and Silent Hill 2. (Those is his best work IMO). I think he actually told Iga about how the line became a meme and he laughed and was ok with it.

2017-07-09 19:23:04 +0000 UTCThis was educational and excellent! I can definitely see the hard work put in. Please do more episodes like this when you can. Thanks, Ian!
2017-07-09 18:39:59 +0000 UTCI recently moved to LA (greater area) and I forgot about the university libraries available down here. There are countless books to look through and read, I'm going to have to make a weekend of it sometime. By the way I love this episode. I have always been fascinated by the influences of game designers, writers, and directors.
2017-07-09 17:53:23 +0000 UTCStepping on Wisecracks' toes a little, but good job, worth watching. 7/10 seeing as we're grading. (With 5/10 being Youtube average, 10/10 indicating unparalleled genius) j.k.b.t.w. (^_^)
