2021-12-07 04:46:46 +0000 UTCOn the question of how Superman doesn't melt the mirror he uses to trim his hair with heat vision, I believe he uses a reflective piece of metal from the Kryptonian ship he arrived on, which also has taken on some invulnerability-like properties under the yellow sun.

2021-12-07 01:07:44 +0000 UTCyeah, lots of dinosaurs in one level, etc. I could've sold it more! (~brandon)

2021-12-06 18:47:14 +0000 UTCI'll say this again on the forum but Cruis'n Blast was a little undersold! The environments are a huge highlight - there are few games that let you drive through a detached London Eye ferris wheel right before driving across the roof of a moving train carriage. That's not even counting the stage where you drive underneath a gigantic gorilla. It's been one of my surprise favourites of the year.
