Welcome to another episode of I’ll Show You Mine! This time, James is showing Elyse ‘Kirby Tilt ‘n’ Tumble’ for Game Boy Color from 2001. Another entry in the Kirby franchise that doesn’t follow Kirby going on a grand adventure so much as cast Kirby as the main character in a game that uses a new unique mechanic. In this case, it’s an accelerometer inside the cartridge that turns your whole Game Boy Color into the game’s controller.

Join us as we talk about the sensitivities of the accelerometer, the design and personality of Kirby, and how this game differs from some of the more famous entries in the Kirby catalog.

Welcome to another episode of I’ll Show You Mine! This time, Elyse is showing James ‘Pretty Woman’ from 1990. It’s the Cinderella story of romance blossoming between LA sex worker Vivan and ultra-wealthy capitalist Edward after he plucks her from the streets to become his paid companion for a week.

Join us as we talk about the classic romcom quality of this movie, the beauty and charm of Julia Roberts, and how much it sucks to see George Costanza acting like a major asshole.

Welcome to another episode of I’ll Show You Mine! This time, James is back in the driver’s seat showing Elyse a video game, and it’s 2014’s next-gen imagining of the iconic Wolfenstein series, ‘Wolfenstein: The New Order’. Wolfenstein is a WWII game where you fight Nazis, and in this iteration, main character William “BJ” Blazkowicz must join the resistance in a world where the Nazis won WWII and have been in power for over a decade.

Join us as we talk about the cinematic quality of this game, the vibes of the alt-history setting and design, and how Elyse again struggled her way through a first-person shooter with high stakes and brutal violence.

Welcome to another episode of I’ll Show You Mine! This time, it’s another switcharoo as Elyse shows James a video game, ‘Nancy Drew: Message in a Haunted Mansion’ from 2000. The third installment in the Nancy Drew series of point-and-click mystery adventure games, ‘Message in a Haunted’ Mansion follows stalwart girl detective Nancy Drew as she investigates a supposedly haunted mansion in San Francisco. Are ghosts really to blame for the strange accidents plaguing the attempted renovation of this 1880s Victorian, or is there another explanation? Nancy’s on the case!

Join us as we talk about the differences between the Game Boy Advance and the PC version of this game, the history of girl-game developers Her Interactive, and decide where this game ranks on the Nancy Drew spooky scale…

Welcome to another episode of I’ll Show You Mine! It’s April again and that means it’s time for our topsy turvy switcharoo episodes! This year, James is showing Elyse ‘Streets of Fire’ from 1984. A “Rock and Roll Fable” directed and co-written by 48 Hrs and The Warriors director Walter Hill, ‘Streets of Fire’ tells the story of Tom Cody, a rough-and-tumble tough guy who heads back to his hometown when his ex-girlfriend, rockstar Ellen Aim, is kidnapped by bad guy biker Raven Shaddock and his gang, the Bombers. The movie is often cited as an inspiration for beat-em-up arcade games of the late 80s/early 90s, which is how it ended up on James’ radar.

Join us as we talk about the killer soundtrack, the cast of stars in the very early stages of their careers, and the rain-slick, neon-lit streets of “Another Time, Another Place…”

Join us as we talk about the singing, the music, how hot it looks in that desert, and Elyse ends up having to explain a lot more of the Bible to James than she expected.
