This was originally a response to a question on Tumblr. I played about ten hours of Octopath Traveler - everyone’s first chapters and one character’s second chapter - and it was a game that drove me a little insane. First and foremost was the writing,…

This was originally posted to Thanks Ken Penders on Tumblr. The first eight episodes of Sonic Prime are out! I've been busy for obvious reasons this past week (I kinda released a video game), but I've now seen all eight episodes, and as such can…

It‘s a miracle that Sonic Frontiers is as good as it is. I don’t mean that I’m shocked a 3D Sonic game is fun. I like 3D Sonic games. As readers of my blog Thanks Ken Penders know, I’m a huge fan of the franchise,…

I’ve been asked a few times about my thoughts on the new My Little Pony series on Netflix, Make Your Mark — the flagship series for Generation 5. I previously shared more casual thoughts on the preceding movie, My Little Pony: A New Generation, which…

It’s finally here! IDW Sonic #50! I waited to talk about the Imposter Syndrome miniseries until after #50 dropped, and it turns out #50 has, uh… well, it’s made a big splash. I’m not sure I’ve seen this many people talking about (and/or arguing over)…

Metroid freakin’ Dread!!!! This will contain spoilers. The TL;DR version is that I loved it, and while it’s always gonna be hard to top Super I’d rank it as my second favorite game in the 2D series, right ahead of Fusion. It’s extremely good. Okay,…

This was originally a casual, off-the-cuff review posted to Tumblr, in which I pondered the hamfisted political allegory of a movie about talking horses. Hi. I watched the new My Little Pony movie, and it was… pretty good! It was very cute, I like the…

I have a confession: I took entirely too long to watch Star vs. the Forces of Evil, and I put it off for petty reasons. For one, I thought the show gave off what I’d call “Parry Gripp energy.” Between things like Star’s signature move…

Last year, towards the beginning of quarantine, I had the very stupid idea to start reading all of the Discworld books in release order, a thing everyone tells you not to do. After reading a pretty okay first book and two thoroughly enjoyable followups, I…

Two years after its strong premiere season, Aggretsuko has become one of the most frustrating shows I follow. It still has tons of fun moments, but it’s also the kind of story that chickens out every time it’s close to an epiphany about its characters…

Three novels down in my journey through Discworld! I’ve now read Equal Rites. As the first book not starring Rincewind, this one shifts its focus from wizards to witches, introducing another series mainstay, Granny Weatherwax. While it’s still obvious from the start that this is…

As I said in my thoughts on The Color of Magic, I’d been told many times that the Discworld series started out rough as Pratchett found his voice over the course of the first few books. Going into the second book, which is a direct…

So I finally took the plunge and started reading Discworld. It’s something I’d meant to do for a long time, especially after thoroughly enjoying the Good Omens miniseries. I figure I owe it to myself as a comedic fantasy writer to read arguably the most…

In my recent retrospective on Ken Penders’ run on Archie’s Sonic the Hedgehog and its spinoffs, I was very negative, because reading his comics is often a nightmare. But Ken wasn’t the only writer, and focusing exclusively on him doesn’t paint a full picture of…

For years now, former Archie Sonic writer Ken Penders has been most well known for his legal battles with Archie and Sega in which he acquired the rights to his characters and stories. Among dedicated Sonic fans, he’s also known for his bad tweets and…

In hindsight, the game that introduced me to the Kirby series was kind of a weird one.
