I don't do much game hunting anymore, but every now and then, I stumble upon something.

Blasto on PlayStation was amusing for its time with some decent humor, I'm interested in seeing how it holds up. 3D action/adventurers can age weird.

Man, I miss Phil Hartman...

When he hangs up the skates, Gudbranson has a broadcasting or podcast career ahead of him.

Earthion was well worth the wait. If you love Mega Drive era SHMUPs like Sol Deace and Arrow Flash, I highly recommend.

Post the first game you actually completed:

Jackal (Konami): the game that's probably responsible for our dad dropping everything and getting a Nintendo Entertainment System, this is the first video game I ever beat. I still play it to this day, and it's one of my favorite games of all time

Not my creation

Finally got my physical copy of Earthion (months later).

Between this and the Gradius Origins collection, 2025 was a solid year for SHMUPs.

Probably the most jerk way I've ever won a match.

It's my birthday, and the year is almost over, so it's customary for me to hammer it home at minimum once in the calendar:

Street Fighter is still the greatest film I've ever seen in my life.

Kinda picking fighting games back up. Getting back to playing Leo.

Tekken 8 is still mindless fun, when I don't focus on playing seriously.

"Look at Kaeya", a short game from Miliastra Wonderland, led to over a thousand impressions and 150+ likes. Easily the biggest post I ever made on Instagram, and it was over a nothingburger.

That's comedy

Solar Eclipse - Crystal Dynamics

While I played more Off-World Interceptor, I also enjoyed this one. A rail shooter, the action is intense, controls are nice, and the FMV is well acted for the time.
Even stars 9-1-1 and Babylon-5's Claudia Christian

Finally starting Yakuza: Like a Dragon. Ichiban is silly teddy bear of a man. I wouldn't change it for anything.

Found the board game Ziggurat at Target, so wife, her sister, and I are giving this a try. It's designed by Rob Daviau and Matt Leacock.

It's legacy/campaign-based, so this is going to get fascinating. Spoiler-free post, but we like it so far.

The death of retro game discussion on social media (preferably Facebook) is trying to spin positive about Shaq-Fu.

I like my fair share of garbage, but just admit you enjoy trash, rather than spinning revisionist history.

The end of an era.
Back when I started my channel, this whacky DVD shelf I bought from Target served me well.

Via con dios, old friend. It's been a journey.

Been rewatching C.O.P.S. (or CyberCOPS). As a kid, it was decent enough.

Boy, it hasn't withstood the test of time. Fun cast of characters, but it's very shallow and lacks substance. The stiff animation is also quite distracting. Alright for background noise.

Okay, Hughes nixxed Marchy's clear attempt.

But why in the hell is Provorov chasing the puck, instead of leaving Fantilli out to dry on Myers' drive?

8.5 million.
