Okay. I've never played Oblivion before.

And I guess I'm not playing it tonight either 🤠

I love they shoehorn Nyx Ulric into that one scene in the game as if the main characters (or majority of players) have any idea who he is haha.

Man now you got me thinking about what a truly unfinished mess that game is. AGAIN.

I tried to lookup gameplay. When I skipped around the video I either saw nothing but grey fog and BLOOM or the same Terminator Skull loading screen.

Dude, watching the FF15 Omen Trailer that they released just FOUR WEEKS before the game launched is wild because even in that trailer it is a DRASTICALLY different game

For context: we're not sure how, but Rainie hurt her leg last week and has been favoring it. Vet said she needs be off of it for 2 weeks(!!) to heal, meaning she has to get Trazadone every day or else she still gets zoomies and dives down the stairs like a maniac 🫠

The vinyl is also rad!

I'm probably a bit biased, because I worked on this game, but I really do think that WORLD OF HORROR is something special that everyone with even a mild interest in horror or Junji Ito should play.

Fellow YouTubers, go to your Settings > Uploading Defaults > Advanced Settings and turn off "Automatic Dubbing" to prevent YouTube from using AI to steal your voice and poorly translate it into other languages.

I've already turned mine off before and YouTube turned it BACK ON again.

Are you playing the SNES or Switch version?

Both are relatively easy, but the Switch Version really dials up the easy with some new features. So if you want the "harder" version, SNES would be your best bet.

I've often get messages like "AJ, why are you responding when I message you at [any time of day or night], shouldn't you be asleep?" as if sleeping was ever an option for me.

My ability to sleep normally went away in like... 1996 haha

YouTube: "would you like to watch this Elden Ring challenge run?

Actually, how about the 1993 hit horror comedy movie Army of Darkness starring Bruce Campbell?

Actually, how about a Donkey Kong Bananza challenge run?"

I spent many of my teenage years on Ragnarok Online. I'd call that one an addiction for sure.

What's a game you were gifted that was the "wrong game" but you loved anyway?

For me, I begged my mom to get me Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, but since I couldn't remember the name, so I described it as playing as a vampire that can turn into a bat, wolf or mist.

She got me this:
The front cover of the US release of Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain on the Sony Playstation The backcover of the US Release of Blood Omen Legacy of Kain on the Sony Playstation. There's some text that I've circled that states "morph into different forms: bat, wolf or mist."

The irony also being how much DARKER of a game Blood Omen is haha. Amazing voice acting, too.

At least Eternal Champions had kind of a rad soundtrack!

It also received another physical release in cartridge form on Evercade!

SimplyAJ @simplyaj.bsky.social · 11d
Haha, that's such an easy mistake to make based off of the visuals alone, but man, what an awesome switch up that was. Asking for a game, and the getting it's arguably better sequel is rad.
