So I played this game for about 2 years during The Burning Crusade days. My main was a Draenei Shaman on Alliance, and a Blood Elf Paladin on Horde.
It's strange that with all this game had to offer and with how complex it was, my best experience from it was simply travelling in Ghost Wolf form from the Wetlands to Dun Morogh while the sun was setting. Another similar adventure was swimming to the edge of the world (back when fatigue wasn't a thing).
Yes, I also played Hearthstone from 2013 to 2016. And I was around for the Undertaker and Grim Patron metas. Truly wild times (now literally only Wild times).
I still check in on both games every now and then out of curiosity, especially when there's a new expansion.

I'm sure this post won't upset anyone, nor will trigger any form of PTSD. People do like to point out the more toxic elements of this show's fandom. But that aside, this was a pretty good series and really it was the fans that made it so enjoyable.
The sheer amount of fan labor (fanfics, fan art, fanimations) this show had was astounding. I don't think I've something like that since the Machinima days of WoW. "My Little Dashie" is perhaps the most well-known of the written fics. While the fan-produced episode "Double Rainboom" is also up there.
The show itself was colorful, fun and it strove to teach important lessons. It also had some pretty big names behind it (like Tara Strong, Q himself John DeLancie and even Weird Al).
Also, I'm aware that it ended a little over a year ago, put it premiered a little over 10 years ago (on 10/10/10). And really the first two seasons is when it had its greatest impact.

Yes, "boll" does mean "ball" in Swedish. But @karlboll isn't made of steel, he's flesh and blood (I assume). Does that mean he's a... Swedish meatball? (Again, just speculation on my part)

Glad you like it. Though you really should be thanking @xvarnah, she's the one who requested I make an entry for you.

Or Kapitan Pazur in Polish (I don't know why I know that). A rather obscure title, but one of my all-time favorites. I can't count how many times I've played it. Partially because it was fun, and partially because it was pretty challenging and unforgiving. You can't have more than 10 lives, there are no continues, and you can't save unless you make it to a designated save point. No to mention that there are instant death traps all over each level. The bosses are no joke either. The first two are okay, though they might take newcomers by surprise. But the third quite literally upercuts the difficulty curve. There is a trick to beat him, but if don't know it, you'll have a hard time.
Aside from its steep difficulty, the game features beautiful graphics that I'd say hold up even by today's standards, including detailed sprites and animations. And naturally, there's the soundtrack which sounds epic. I really wish they made a sequel...

@jmmcclain's name's meaning eludes me (it might just be his name). However, one of his stated purposes is to make @mialinay giggle. And this water spider-like mon might help. (I can't do much about his second goal though)

The original (and often considered the best) entry in the sequel series to the OG Mega Man. While I'm not one to normally follow popular opinions, I do agree that X1 is probably the best in the series. I've played all the games up until X5 and a little of X6, and the only one that came close to capturing the magic of X1 was X4.
Not much to say about it. It's a simple jump and shoot platformer with some Pokémon-style elemental rock-paper-scissors thrown in. And its simplicity is really what gives it its charm. Anyone can pick it up and immediately understand it and enjoy it.
The colorful enemies and levels certainly help, too. And of course, there's the rockin' soundtrack. All the level themes are great. But some that really stuck out for me were those of: Launch Octopus, Storm Eagle, Chill Penguin, Bubble Crab (and Duff McWhalen), Gravity Beatle, Jet Stingray and Storm Owl.
Oh, let's not forget the secret Hadouken and Shoryuken moves you can do in X1 and X2 respectively.

"Yu-Gi-Oh!" is still going strong. In fact, it's on its seventh series (creatively called "Yu-Gi-Oh! Sevens").
But the original started it all. By that, I mean the manga. The first 50-so chapters had very little to do with card games, and were far darker than anything shown in the anime. They had an anime adaption too, but it wasn't widely known in the west.
Despite the memetastic nature of the now infamous 4Kids dub, it is the one that introduces me to the franchise, and I still have fond memories of watching it before school. I also remember Dan Green and Eric Stuart's energetic performances as Yami and Kaiba respectively.
And yes, I even played some of the IRL game back in the day. One of my fave combos was using Convulsion of Nature and Archfiend's Oath. Not especially powerful but still fun.
I've seen almost every piece of media related to Yu-Gi-Oh! and I'm still excited to see what its future holds...
