Superb analyst on the how the 1994 Metroid 3 design team "guides" players through their game, alternating incentives to fight, progress, and explore in a way that only minimally frustrates and makes M3 one of the best and most replay able games of all time.

Reagan really did enjoy jelly beans. According to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, his favorite flavor was licorice. Reagan started eating jelly beans in 1967 as he was trying to quit a pipe-smoking habit. He switched to Jelly Bellies a decade later.

One food that Reagan didn’t like was brussels sprouts. This is according to the Reagan Library website. In her autobiography, Nancy Reagan said her husband wasn’t a fussy eater since he traveled on the public speaking circuit for decades, but he also didn’t like tomatoes.

Reagan’s nickname of “Dutch” was given to him at an early age by his family. Reagan’s ancestry is Irish on his father’s side and Scots-English on his mother’s side. The name came from his childhood haircut, among other things.

The future President’s last movie role was in the 1964 release, The Killers. Based on an Ernest Hemingway story, it was Reagan’s only role as a villain in a film, and it was the first made-for-TV movie. However, The Killers was considered too violent for TV, and released to movie theaters instead.

The future President lost partial hearing in one ear when he was hurt on a movie set in the late 1930s after a gun was fired next to his ear. Decades later, President Reagan wrote to Michael Jackson offering his support after Jackson was burned filming a TV commercial.

McDonnell vs. La Bourdonnais (1834)
This game was the 62nd game in a series of matches played between two of the world's top players at the time—matches that were ultimately won by La Bourdonnais. This game, which ends incredibly with three black pawns abreast on White's second rank, is the most famous game of La Bourdonnais' career.

Anderssen vs. Kieseritzky (1851)
The Immortal Game was the first of two timeless games by Adolph Anderssen, both of which combined some spotty defense with incredible combinations. In this case, Kieseritzky was the victim, as Anderssen sacrificed both of his rooks and his queen before vanquishing his opponent.

Anderssen vs. Dufresne (1852)
The Evergreen Game was Anderssen's second masterpiece. In the end, White is down a queen and a rook and is facing mate in one—but that's not enough to stop Anderssen from finishing off his opponent in style.

Morphy vs. Duke of Brunswick/Count Isouard (1858)
The Opera House Game wasn't played against opponents of the highest standard. Still, it remains one of Morphy's calling cards, as his play features both a straightforward, logical plan and a stunning combinatorial finish.
