Watching this just reminded me that sometime last week, while I was putting clothes from the washer into the dryer, that fucking "All about you" song popped into my head apropos of nothing and went on loop endlessly for about the next 10 minutes. I hadn't even seen one of the episodes in this series recently!
This is so much fun. I've never played any Nancy Drew, so it was neat watching Abby show me all about it. Now Alex is playing Carmen, which I *did* play and I get to have some nostalgia.
I, too, wish they had added more goodies and upgrades to this. Remember that Rare collection? That was a proper do-up.
I do like Mario Sunshine, though. Enjoyed it then and having fun going back to it now. If you are looking for an opinion from someone who likes the games, head over to Kotaku. They also wish more had been done for this, but do appreciate the games.
OMG, the song that starts playing around 20 minutes in takes me back to my Peace Corps days in Ukraine! Total instant time warp! Someone gave me that song on a mixtape (mix cd, really) in my village and I liked to so much I bought the pirate disk of Iulia Savicheva's latest album at the massive book/cd/movie Petrivka thrift market in Kyiv.
Thanks, Alex. What a surprise and unexpectedly fun trip in my mind.
