Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3 Mutant Nightmare with Pierce Lydon (Spawnography)
By 2005, Konami had made three TMNT beat-em-ups based on the 2003 animated series, which is the kind of commitment usually reserved for tax filings or long-term relationships. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3: Mutant Nightmare landed that November on GameCube, PS2, Xbox, and Nintendo DS as the trilogy’s closer, and Konami sent it off in style by giving it the series’ first E10+ rating, as if four years of shell-based violence had finally crossed some invisible threshold of Too Much.
The game loosely adapts the show’s third season across four “Episodes,” which means the Triceratons invade Earth, Agent Bishop kidnaps Splinter for reasons that presumably made sense to somebody in a government facility somewhere, and Shredder shows back up to remind everyone that retirement isn’t really a thing that happens to ninja warlords. Along the way you can pour experience points into skill scrolls, transform into a Dino Turtle or an Ultimate Turtle depending on the mood, and, if you clear the first Episode, unlock a modified version of the 1991 arcade classic Turtles in Time, which is Konami’s way of saying “here’s the good one, in case this one doesn’t land.”
Joining me to sort the Triceratons from the Foot Ninjas is Pierce Lydon of Spawnography, the podcast where he and George Marston work through Todd McFarlane’s entire Spawn mythology one hellish arc at a time. Pierce has already survived one trip through the Play Comics gauntlet with me on Spawn in the Demon’s Hand, so they know exactly what they signed up for this time: showing up, being extremely knowledgeable, and getting talked into yet another licensed beat-em-up nobody asked for.
So grab a ninja scroll, pick a turtle, any turtle, and let’s find out whether Mutant Nightmare sent Konami’s turtle trilogy out on a high note, or whether the Triceratons should’ve just stayed home.
Learn such things as:
- When is it appropriate to make a game without the most iconic villains?
- How much can you cram into a game when you know it’s your last one?
- What magical things can you find at your public library?
- And so much more!
You can find Spawnography on BlueSky, and Instagram, and of course those Apple Podcast, YouTube, and Spotify places. Or you can find Pierce as a wonderful human on Instragram @lapsed.punk.

If you want to hear Chris talk with Karrington Martin about the lessons we learned from children’s media and how crazy it is that we’re supposed to just forget about that now that we’re adults, then Sugar, Spite, and Everything is Fine is probably something you should check out.

RE: https://www.psicospace.it/acqua-di-fiuggi-storia-mito-proprieta-scienza/
Per secoli papi, artisti, statisti e persone comuni sono arrivate a #Fiuggi con una speranza precisa: bere un’acqua che, secondo la tradizione, avrebbe potuto “rompere la pietra”.
Ma quanto c’è di vero in questa affermazione?
Tra documenti storici, #Michelangelo, studi clinici e medicina moderna, sono andato oltre il mito per capire cosa dice davvero la scienza sull’Acqua Fiuggi.

Michelangelo and That Ceiling
The Last JudgementMichelangelo rather famously despised painting the Sistine Chapel.
It took him four years to complete (1508 to 1512) and nearly broke his spirit in the process. “I am not in the right place,” he wrote in the last line of a sonnet to his friend Giovanni da Pistoia after a year of work. “I am not a painter.”
Many of those who have viewed that ceiling or other of his paintings would disagree. What he endured to complete it took a lot out of him. Michelangelo is said to have suffered from an enlarged thyroid, cramped thighs, a tight chest, and a knotted spine while creating this revered masterpiece.
In that same poem, he described the project as “torture” and noted, “My brush / above me all the time, dribbles paint / so my face makes a fine floor for droppings!”
He had created a scaffolding system so he could paint the ceiling while standing. That helped, but didn’t take away what he considered to be torture.
The Sistine Chapel is more than 5,000 square feet. He realized that it was much more than he expected, and he considered himself to be a sculptor above all else.
And yet, he also painted The Last Judgement, which was an addition to the Sistine Chapel that Michelangelo began working on a quarter-century later. This painting depicts the second coming of Christ and God’s final judgment of all humanity. Pope Paul III charged Michelangelo with repainting the chapel’s altar wall with this scene.
https://youtu.be/c2MuTvQM61Y?si=t4o5YQ-Fuau1B9wa
It’s also believed that Michelangelo included a self-portrait in the guise of St. Bartholomew, a martyred saint who was flayed (skinned alive). I don’t see it, but it is said that Michelangelo is portrayed as Bartholomew’s skin, which the saint holds in his left hand as he ascends to heaven. (see below) It has been interpreted as him comparing his own agony to that of a martyr, though some critics say he just wanted a self-portrait as a personal flourish.
Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni was born in 1475. By the turn of the 16th century, he was already an acclaimed artist, having achieved a significant amount of fame through important church commissions
Michelangelo is, above all, one of the greatest sculptors in Western art. Unlike his relatively small number of paintings, his sculptures are numerous and foundational.
His most important and well-known works include the Pietà located in St. Peter’s Basilica, which shows the Virgin Mary holding the dead Christ. It’s remarkable for its serenity, balance, and incredibly polished marble surface. Michelangelo was only in his early 20s when he finished it.
David is perhaps his most famous sculpture, housed in the Galleria dell’Accademia. Unlike earlier versions, David is shown before battle, tense and alert. It embodies Renaissance ideals of human beauty and strength.
He also sculpted Moses for the tomb of Pope Julius II, now in San Pietro in Vincoli.
His Dying Slave and Rebellious Slave depicts these figures so that they seem to struggle to free themselves from the stone. It’s an example of Michelangelo’s idea that figures are “trapped” within marble. He said of one sculpture, “I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.”In the Medici Chapel at San Lorenzo, he did four sculptures depicting Night, Day, Dawn, and Dusk.
