The 20th Anniversary of Banjo-Tooie

The 20th Anniversary of Banjo-Tooie
March 27, 2021
By Ryan Porzl




When Banjo-Kazooie was first released in 1998, the world was introduced to one of the greatest video games of all time. The game would not only be a critical success but a commercial one and with that, it seemed like a matter of when we get a sequel. Fast forward two years later and the world was treated to the sequel Banjo-Tooie released during the last days of the Nintendo 64. The game, which took a slightly darker tone, would see Banjo and Kazooie once again venture out to put a stop to the witch Gruntilda's plan. With the 20th Anniversary having been in November 2020, I think it's long overdue to take a look at the sequel known as Banjo-Tooie.

Happy Belated 30th Anniversary to the Nickelodeon game show Get The Picture. In my opinion, one of the most underrated Nickelodeon game shows.

90th Birthday of Leonard Nimoy

 Today would've been the 90th birthday of Leonard Nimoy who will obviously be forever known as Mr. Spock in the Star Trek franchise and was great. He also was great as the original voice of Master Xehanort in the Kingdom Hearts franchise. Nimoy passed away in 2015 due to COPD.

2020 Pro Wrestling Year End Awards

2020 Pro Wrestling Year End Awards
March 19, 2021
By Ryan Porzl

After a crazy 2020, it's time for me to do my year end awards for pro wrestling, at least as best as I can. As is usually the case, these are my opinions and mine alone. Keep in mind, my Japanese awards are based off what I saw and I wasn't able to find much New Japan or many companies.

 Very sad to hear about the passing of Yaphet Kotto. He was a criminally underrated actor and probably deserved more fame than he got. He was great as the first black James Bond main villain Dr. Kananga/Mr. Big in Live and Let Die as well as Lt. Al Giardello on the awesome TV show Homicide: Life on the Street. He was also Agent Alonzo Mosley in Midnight Run, Parker in the first Alien film, was in The Running Man and Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare, and was Emmy nominated for the TV film Raid on Entebbe. He was also considered for the role of Lando Calrissian in Star Wars and possibly Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation.
