One of the many things that Nintendo has fatally warped my understanding of is yellowcake, the milled form of uranium oxide that marks a crucial step in the business of processing uranium ore. That's back in the real world, anyway. To me, alas, yellowcake...

Even though I loved Kirby's Epic Yarn on the Wii, it's a hard game to recommend to anyone. Kirby fans wouldn't appreciate the odd newer mechanics, while those who don't care for the fluffiest incarnation of HAL's pink blob wouldn't be swayed by the simpli...
