OK, so there’s a part of the Nintendo port of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: The Arcade Game, where after completing a snow level you destroy a weather machine causing an unnatural winter, your turtle exclaims, “Spring is here!” So I changed the background to a beach level from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3 and made Donatello say, “Summer is here!” It’s Donatello because he’s my favorite. Well, thanks for reading my alt text!

In “Back to the Future Part 2,” Marty McFly miraculously rises above the roof of Biff Tannen’s Pleasure Palace in the alternate timeline, shocking Biff, himself, who moments earlier saw Marty step off the building.

Anyway it’s the first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and I’m a big nerd. Well, thanks for reading my alt text.

In the Nintendo game “Zelda II: The Adventure of Link,” Link battles a blue-armored Iron Knuckle, a knight who throws beams from his sword. This battle is happening in a hallway with a low ceiling, making jumping to dodge the beams more difficult. I had to learn rely on blocking with Link’s shield and studying the Iron Knuckle’s timing. Well, thanks for reading my alt text!
Remember the meme of a dude checking out a hot lady while walking with his girlfriend, who just stares at him, disgusted? It’s that, but Jack Skellington from “The Nightmare Before Christmas” checking out the Christmas Town portal tree while walking with the Halloween Town portal tree.
