Expecting a huge ice / snow storm tomorrow...
Do you think you could get hard at -20C....if I'm looking like this and want to get fucked by you at this moment ?
Been REALLY into this game recently. I personally think this is a gem on the GameCube (I know, it was on other consoles!). If you have never played it...it still holds pretty well in 2022. Kinda crazy that some of those 20 years old games look as great in todays world. Just great overall action! I'll try to tell you more about it later. Just heading out to play now. I need this gaming session to relax! Hope you all have a lovely day! Oh and I REALLY hope you'll check that latest video I've posted earlier... ;) Toodles!!!
It's crazy that I sometimes feel way more connected to people I've never met in person vs people I've known my whole life and went to school with. The older I get, the less they seem to understand me. The less I seem to be close to them. I'd feel so lonely if it wasn't from some of you, so thank you <3 It was a long emotional weekend, but I am back :)
Another look at my adult comics! This one is based on OTH! Don't forget that you can always DM for the color versions or full chapters...or even the full book! For a small tip, you can have access to those!!!! Just ask me :)
Although Calvin and Hobbes underwent continual artistic development and creative innovation over the period of syndication, the earliest strips demonstrate a remarkable consistency with the latest. Watterson introduced all the major characters within the first three weeks and made no changes to the central cast over the strip's 10-year history.
***RECAP OF GAMING NIGHT***
I started off with a Rookie cup. It is 3 games where you need to finish first of the division to win the cup! I went with Peach, the horny blonde princess, for that tournament!
Won game 1 in a rather easy way. Lost to DK on game 2. OMFG...he scored the winning goal from mid court and seconds later I hit the goal post which would have tied the game!
Playing on Game 3 vs Yoshi...the leader of the division...tension was high! He scored the first goal (freaking Yoshi!) but then I tied the game, and ran away with an easy win in the end.
By the end of Game 3, I realized that sliding to make my adversaries fall wasn't the only option. There was a smashing/tackling button giving devastating hits! OMFG how did I not know that? (never played the game before and didn't read the manual...since I don't have one lol!).
So...going into my second cup, I decided to see how I'd fare as a Brunette by picking up Dirty Daisy (DD for her friends!).
Since I learned how to tackle, I totally killed it. Took a HUGE lead...and won easily...9-3? Something like that! Best offensive game!
I figured that I was up for a new and more difficult challenge. Decided to play with Peach in an upper level. I could have gone one level up and play Professional (what comes after rookie), but I decided to get cocky after my 9-3 win and I went all the way to superstar.
Let me tell you one thing. I'm not superstar yet LOL! I got KILLED!!!!
Oh well. I still believe that game is a LOT of fun! I will definitely try the Wii and Switch versions at some point. I'm not the biggest soccer/football fan but I'll definitely play that game with some friends. It seems like a great party game!!!
Hope you've enjoyed the stream (for those who were in the private session!) and for everyone else, enjoy the recording :)
One thing that I still find hilarious is how they sexualized Peach and Daisy in that game. Crop tops...generous breasts...and you can just see them angling their round bubble butt and doing some moves that would make Mario's wrench hard! I'm guessing Luigi would rather have Daisy play with his balls than playing soccer!
In the intro, particularly, you can see (and will see, on my stream) what those naughty developers had in mind, haha! I'm not complaining...but I still find it hilarious when it happens in a franchise like Mario.
In the 80s and 90s, plenty of arcade posters were sexualized with hotties to make it enticing for men to play. I guess that before OF, you had to get excited in other ways ;) But in Mario? Always thought that in the early 2000s, not many grown ups would play those consoles (nowadays, yes...but not back then!). I guess teenagers would be excited to imagine Peach blowing their joystick!
As I was saying earlier, Strikers' gameplay provides aggressive and fast-paced action. Don't get me wrong, it's super fun to tackle your opponents and smash them with shells! But some of those seem to be "overpowered" sometimes, including the big-hit tackles and the ability to dash constantly given the absence of a stamina meter. But again, it wasn't meant to be a realistic game and Blitz and Hitz don't have stamina meter either! Just an observation!
The controls are tight, and the ability to push enemies into the electric barrier and the use of items makes the game SUPER entertaining while playing defensively.
I played some Virtua Soccer and Fifa in the past...and I much prefer Mario Strikers. Kinda crazy that this game looks so good and is still so fun 17 years later!
Can't wait to play and show you my (lack) of skills! ;)
First off, if you're from Europe or Australia, you probably know this game as Mario Smash Football!
It was released in 2005, and to me, 2000 to 2005 was the BEST ERA of sports games! You had NHL Hitz which was a fabulous, and probably THE best, hockey game ever released. Fast paced action and crazy good hits. It was the peak of NFL Blitz. It was a time where NCAA games were still being released and you could play with your favorite college game. It was a time where you had competition in the real sim sports games for NFL, Madden, NHL. 2K, EA Sports, and a bunch of other franchises were battling for our attention. It pushed studios to innovate and make the games different. Nowadays, Madden and NHL release the same damn game year after year with a few roster changes, and that's about it.
In other words, it was a time were the "politically correct" wasn't stopping sports games from being games. And I loved the competition and the vast choice we had. Anyways...this brings us back to this great sports title of Super Mario Strikers (Or Smash Football).
The game's developers had worked on NHL Hitz Pro before development of Strikers, which served as an influence for the fast-paced and physical nature of the game. If you have played Hitz, you can definitely see that influence while playing.
It was the last Mario game to be released on GameCube. You had Super Mario Strikers Charged in 2007 that was released on the Wii (never played it)...and then you had to wait 15 years until Nintendo decided to give us a new instalment to this franchise. I'm guessing Mario Golf and Mario Tennis were way more popular since we didn't have to wait for that long for these two games to get back on the platform!!!
Good morning! In honour of the World Cup, I thought that we could play some Mario Strikers this week. Yes, there was a new release on Switch, but since we all know I'm into playing good old games from the past...I decided to go with the original GameCube version for my stream!
All day long, we'll talk a little bit more about that gem of a game! If you've never played it...I highly recommend it! And we'll obviously end the day with the stream of some gameplay!!!
Have a wonderfuuuuuuuul day!!!
***What instrument would you like to learn that you don't already know how to play?***
Easy! Guitar. I do play piano, but could never learn guitar (probably by lack of patience ... and the fact I didn't have a guitar LOL!) But nothing I would love more than being able to play guitar around a fire. Every time I see this in a tv show or a movie, I'm like "Awwwwwwwww"! But I don't have time or dedication enough at that point of my life to learn to play it. Not that I'd have anyone to listen to me playing anyways...
I'm better posing with the guitars lol
It's time to answer some questions from WE ASK RILEY TUESDAY!
Okay, that is some of the oddest question I've had...but I find it funny at the same time haha!
***What famous historical figure would you like to play N64 Goldeneye against?***
That's easy. Annie Oakley! I got to see if she could translate those live skills to the N64 game!!! Gosh, Goldeneye....those are some memories! Loved that game but havent played since the early 2000s. I don't think it aged THAT well to be honest. So I might prefer keeping those memories....as intact as they are!
Oh and if you don't know who Annie Oakley is...here's a little something about her for anyone interested:
**Annie Oakley was perhaps the most famous female shooter in American history. Even today, many skilled marksmen still marvel at the amazing shooting feats she performed on stage. Born Phoebe Ann Moses in 1860, she became one of the most famous women of the 19th century.
Oakley learned to shoot at a youg age because her family’s livelihood depended on her hunting and trapping skills. She became famous when she joined the legendary Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show, introducing her to a much larger audience.
One of Oakley’s greatest feats was shooting a playing card in half from 30 yards — not only once but multiple times in a row until the card was obliterated. Also, at one point, she held the future of the world in her hands when she shot a cigar from the mouth of Kaiser Wilhelm, the German Emperor. Had she missed, she could have changed the course of history.
It wasn’t like Oakley to miss her target, as she earned the nickname “Little Sure Shot” from Sitting Bull, who was also a member of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show. Oakley never forgot about her early years in poverty throughout her life, and she often donated a portion of her earnings to charity.
Oakley was also a leader in an early feminism movement. When the U.S. was preparing for the Spanish-American War in 1898, she gathered a group of 50 female sharpshooters to join the Army. They were turned away, but it didn’t stop Oakley from teaching other women how to shoot. She is credited with teaching over 15,000 women how to handle a firearm.**
It's WE ASK RILEY TUESDAY!
Ask me any question in the comment below! Best question gets a surprise XXX gift ;)
I will reply either tonight or tomorrow! Com'on, let's be original with some good questions today!!!
Another win in the books! Hope your team is winning too today! Who are you cheering for?
ps: Yeah, I made a 4th quarter comeback and overcame 3 INTs lol
This was actually the first page EVER inspired by me. It was a LONG time ago, and I think it got much better with time...but I still feel nostalgic towards it.
Told you there would be more adult time ;)
If anyone is feeling nostalgic and wants to indulge in some more Sunday cartoons....some more Popeye ;) I promise more adult stuff tonight, but how about we just smile and remind ourselves of easier times first? :)

Currently trying to beat all 30 teams in the original NFL Blitz. 6 teams down, 24 to go!
I’m playing the Denver Broncos, obviously !!! My favorite team with Elway, Sharpe and Davis back in the days.
Defeated the Oilers with McNair and the Lions with Barry Sanders last night… hoping to get a few more teams in my kill list today for NFL Sunday!
Have a great day everyone ! Comment your favorite Blitz (or any nfl games) memories if you have any!!!
I moved Friday comics to Sunday comics....because...it just makes sense, right? haha!
Popeye first appeared in the daily King Features comic strip Thimble Theatre on January 17, 1929. That asshole is soon to be 100 years old! LOL Yes, he was an asshole. Have you read some of the stuff he said in the 50s and 60s? Kept bashing women on their look! (and he thought Olive was hot....so who is he to judge anyone LOL!)
Anyways...thought we'd start Sunday comics with some good old Popeye :D
