Fighting The End in MGS Delta solidified this as my favorite boss fight of any game. So much tension and space to create what I think is a masterful use of the medium. I want to keep replaying it to see how many methods I can use.

Watching that intro with the new Cynthia Harrell rendition legitimately brought tears to my eyes man. Playing this feels surreal.

This was a great watch, Jiikae. The history lesson I never knew I wanted. Mad respect on the quality of your output man.

DK Bananza preview at the Nintendo event earlier this year. Hyped to actually play it proper without the time limit lol. Just one of those games that’s naturally satisfying to play and control.

Also, don’t sleep on Drag x Drive. It’s honestly kinda fun for group sessions.

Man, it's crazy to realize that all of my favorite creators I've grown up with are at the age where they all talk about passing the torch. I really am getting old.

I hope we can get one or two more projects from Toyama before he calls it a day. Hopefully just as strange as Slitterhead.

Silent Hill and Gravity Rush creator Keiichiro Toyama is working on a brand-new game, and it might be a new IP

Silent Hill creator Keiichiro Toyama is already working on a brand-new game after the release of Slitterhead.

I can't speak to the quality of the port, but I've been having a lot of fun with Crazy Taxi on the Steam Deck. That game is addicting and surprisingly has a lot going on mechanically.

I can reach AWESOME rank fairly consistently but that CRAZY rank seems far fetched for me right now 😅

Tokyo Xtreme Racer

Tokyo Xtreme Racer running on the Steam Deck. I chose to lock it at 40fps to claw back some of the excellent visual fidelity this game has to offer and it still feels great to control.

While on the topic of great arcade racers, the reboot of Tokyo Xtreme Racer is remarkably good! I purchased it on my Steam Deck and I can’t stop thinking about it. I highly recommend it.
