Media References
(0:00:53) Sam: I just loved being able to play [Marvel Puzzle Quest] through. I tried it on a PS4, I tried it on a PS3, I tried it on an Xbox 360, ‘cause I’m a 1337 (leet) gamer. I even tried it on- I downloaded it on Steam Engine ‘cause that’s how you get games. It was amazing. You can play as all your favorite Marvel characters, like The Avengers. The Avengers include characters like lron Man (said as L-Ron), Nick Fur(r)y, Red White and Blue Shield Guy, The Hulch, and there’s other characters too! Like Lord Star! Dice Man! Carnage! A(u)nt Man! Professor X(XX)! And the medical team! That’s what I call these characters called Doctor Doom, Doctor Strange, and Doctor Octopus. [...] There’s Kamala (Chaka) Khan, there’s Jugs-or-Naut. You can play as the Human Porch- he just relaxes. Nick Cage! One of my favorite X-Men is Jennifer Grey from Dirty Dancing, there’s Rocket and Poot, and everybody’s favorite Canadian tough guy, Walford Reens! Snickut! And you solve puzzles and it’s really addictive.
