A big red cartoon heart.

Health pick-ups looking like cartoon hearts

It’s sad to think that the little-known metroidvania series Castlevania failed to leave any lasting impact on video games simply because it did not understand that cartoon hearts are health pick-ups, not ammo or some other nonsense. I really think people might like some of these unknown gems, especially the interesting structure which developed after the initial games, but alas…! A love that was never meant to be, I suppose.

Doomguy’s pet rabbit, Daisy

Roses are redviolets are bluelike my rabbit and that pikeI am stuck on you.

But which is better?

Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do. Poor Daisy. I must vote for her, and the violence rightfully performed in her name. But what do you think, reader dear?
