TLK is posting screen shots of all his favorite video games. My guess is he has been playing them while trying desperately to pick a record.
We all do that! I played a lot of Candy Crush when I picked Les Egarés

I can’t remember the last time I played a video game.

My SO just got a Switch for her birthday last week so we have been playing a lot of Super Mario Brothers Wonder lately.

We mostly play retro games. Rarely anything newer than Super Nintendo or Sega Genesis. The Switch came with Super Smash Brothers and we are both like 4 year olds with that one, just smashing buttons. Mario Wonder and Mario Kart though are both still a lot of fun.

I think War of the Monsters was the last game I got excited about. There was a Miyazaki rpg. but that seemed like work when I played it for an hour or two. Lol
Super Nintendo is the best

I've never seen elephant Mario before. I guess I need a Nintendo.

So here's what I'm thinking:
From Discogs:
Kid Icarus has little wings.
The Shredder is the name of a song from the first album. It's about a skater.
Shredder Sequel features on Wonderue and Return of the Jedi is a sequel. The song is about an older skater (not unlike Tony Hawk).
Wonderue is from 2002. The opening track is Filled with Wonder.
And TLK is a fan.
From Discogs:
Kyle Field is also where the Texas A&M Aggies play.

He’s new. Super Mario Wonder is a lot of fun. It takes place in a new kingdom “The Flower Kingdom” which allows the creators to color outside the lines a bit. We prefer the side scrollers to the 3D Mario games and since the last system we purchased was the Nintendo Wii there are a few new ones that we need to catch up on. The best part so far about Mario Wonder is this weird mode in each level that if you unlock, it’s like you start tripping. The music and lighting changes and different seemingly random stuff starts to happen like the scenery come alive. Good fun if Mario is your thing.

Well Done!
I had another round of clues ready based around Little Wings involvement with K records…
Kurt has a “K Records” tattoo
The founder of K Record, Calvin Johnson
Kyle appears on Microphones album Mount Eerie…
…as a character named “Big Black Death”.

I am astounded by how quickly it was guessed.

It’s all Google I have to admit. I wasn’t really familiar with them at all but when I saw the Aggies played at Kyle Field I figured it had to be too big a coincidence that there was a musician with the same name!

I'm impressed, I hadn't gotten nearly that far with the clues. Excellent sleuthing!
