No such thing as unreasonable with those games because they were brilliant.

Escape Velocity and its sequels.

Sneaking a little B5 in. Does that count? Is that even legal here?

Yes, Wizardry is a very old school rpg. Both that and Valbrace are “explore the dungeon in first person and you’d better be mapping them if you don’t want to be hopelessly lost” style games. I find the mapping to be very satisfying but I’m probably an anomaly because all games have auto maps and objective markers these days.

Almost every game is fun, and there are some that are amazing. Valbrace has fully captured me currently, probably due to my love of the old Wizardry series. Avianos is brilliant too, I’d like to go back for the cherry on that one.

Homer, go back to the garage.

But I'm mystified by the secret point. Whatever the secret point is, it's the only thing I've ever wanted.

More rest periods! I do love stop-motion dinosaurs though.

In the den? May god have mercy on us all.

Mr. B Natural you're hot!

All the warthogs at the party are very ugly and have warts, including the handsome one. There's nothing really to distinguish the handsome one except he's got the cool eyes thing going on and he's smoking. So you can interpret the joke a couple of ways: a) it's silly Larson anthropomorphism where humans like us reading the cartoon don't get what attributes animals would find attractive or b) every animal thinks cool eyes and smoking is cool, which probably circles back to being a commentary about those things not being terribly cool at all. Or a hundred other meanings I haven't gotten.

Edit: I don't think it's a specific reference, more just the 70s/80s "movie cool" character would look like that but not be a warthog

Still my all time favorite episode. Good news.
