Akira Toriyama, creator of manga like Dr. Slump, Dragon Ball, and Sand Land, sadly passed away on March 1, 2024. He left behind a legacy of colorful work, worlds of wonder that continues to impact people the world over. Since I review anime, and not manga, I wanted to pay tribute to Toriyama in a way that reflected his own personal efforts, so I chose a Dragon Ball Z movie that he actually had influence over, Battle of Gods, whose story he constructed. Of course, I also mentioned his work in video games.

My Favorite Vidya Games
Penguin Truth’s Top 25 Favorite Vidya Games
I’m quite fond of video games. I’m not really a "gamer" the way others are, mostly because I’ve never been all that good at them. Seriously, I suck out loud at video games. They won’t even let me in arcades. It doesn’t help that folks who are good at video games make you feel like worthless trash if you aren’t as good as they are at playing them. It’s very discouraging. Still, there are a lot of video games I’ve enjoyed in my twenty five years of life.
To Far Away Times
It took thirteen years, but I’ve finally beaten Chrono Trigger!
Remind me to do some sort of tribute to this game in the near future.
