"The Waste Land" by T. S. Eliot, page 6

Every week on this site, I will be publishing a new page from my ongoing comics adaptation of “The Burial of the Dead,” the first section of T. S. Eliot’s epochal poem “The Waste Land” (Click on image to enlarge). Most of the various “broken images” in the first panel make reference to other portions of “The Waste land” or to elements from my previous adaptation of Eliot’s “The Love Song of J.…

Nickelodeon ‘The Really Loud House’ star Eva Carlton Interview

Nickelodeon is set to bring out a live-action version of the fan-favorite animated series, The Loud House, with The Really Loud House. The series follows 12-year-old Lincoln Loud as he goes on a new adventure with his best friend, Clyde Mcbride, while also navigating living with 10 sisters.

Where's Waldo?

Where’s Waldo?

I love a good scavenger hunt and one that involves Waldo is even better. You remember Waldo. That cute bespectacled guy with the red and white striped shirt and the blue pants? He is the star of many books over the years and was a favorite of our boys when they were growing up. Where’s Waldo books littered our coffee table over the years and triumphant cries of “I found him” were always fun to…

Approximate Release Month: June 1993 Genre: Puzzle Developer: Radiance Software Publisher: THQ

Short but not sweet, The Great Waldo Search does less than the bare minimum for a full-priced video game.

I loved the Where’s Waldo books as a child. They are a series of wonderfully illustrated picture books where the reader scours the pages to find Waldo and his various accouterments he has lost on his journey. He wears eye-catching red-and-white striped clothes, but he’s drawn quite small in between all sorts of visual cacophony.

Naturally, as a popular child-focused property in the early 1990s, Where’s Waldo received a video game adaptation. Everything you need to know about The Great Waldo Search is in this video.

Yes, I beat the game on both difficulty settings in 13 minutes.

That is a completely unacceptable amount of stuff to put into a product that you are selling for money. Five stages and two difficulty levels don’t fly, even with Waldo changing positions in each playthrough. The Great Waldo Search limits the player to only panning the screen left and right. The books make the reader feel like they were plopped in a vast world to explore. This game feels like you’re stuck in a hallway and feels confined and limiting as a result.

I get why the game has these limits. The graphics – especially the huge number of sprites and stuff in the level at once – is impressive. I’m sure the programmers developed technical whizz-bangery to make it work on the Super Nintendo’s hardware. Expanding the game’s scope might have been impossible. It’s still disappointing.

I’m just going to share some miscellaneous thoughts:

The controls are fine, and never once did I choose something with the cursor and not have it register. Some of the things you pick up are quite small, and you lose time if you select the wrong object, so that reliability is a boon.

There’s also a minigame where you play as Waldo’s dog and you collect bones while flying on a magic carpet. It is notable for possibly taking as long to complete as the actual level.

The higher difficulty adds little bonus objectives like “find the man with three legs.” This is the kind of fun easter egg-type joke that the books did so well. It’s a neat twist, but the answer is always on the screen you’re viewing when the challenge pops up. Also, I went back and checked and these don’t appear to be randomly placed, unlike Waldo and the scroll, which change places on replay.

The Great Waldo Search needs a great deal more to do in it. There’s not much I can say about a game that can be beaten twice in under fifteen minutes.

Next time: I’ve never been a fan of the Battletoads games, but maybe Battletoads in Battlemaniacs will be the one that wins me over.

All of my Halloween Costumes, Ranked

All of my Halloween Costumes, Ranked

It’s October, and I am gearing up for a spooky month!! I need to decide on a Halloween costume, but first, I thought it would be fun to review the costumes I’ve worn in the past from worst to best. I’ve had costumes both store-bought and homemade, both strokes of genius and remarkably ill-advised. Where possible, I’ve included pictures. Let’s dive in!

“Your sacred space is where you can find yourself over and over again.” -Joseph Campbell I have had many different classroom configurations in the past 20 years. Each year I like to change things up a bit. I believe that the environment of a classroom has a huge impact on how students learn. If these walls could talk what would they say? I’ve ruminated over this question often. Year twenty-one…

I Simplify Where’s Waldo(tm)?

  Where’s Bettie? Where’s Waldo is quite the amusing diversion. It’s loved by millions. But it can take time to find that rascally Waldo, particularly since he loves to hang with folks wearing nearly identical outfits. Clearly he doesn’t want to stand out in a crowd. I think it would be nigh on impossible to pick Waldo out of a police lineup. As mentioned above, finding Waldo is quite the…

Guess who is visiting Hong Kong this Christmas?

Guess who is visiting Hong Kong this Christmas?

Sure, Santa Claus will come in time for Christmas, and hopefully leave us some of his magic besides this year’s presents!  However, we are not talking of old Father Christmashere, but of another world famous character who also appears invariably dressed in a red and white top!  What’s more, he always wears a bobble hat (that is a knit cap with a pom-pom), do you already know who we are talking…
