It is absolutely WILD how long I've been waiting for this game. 18 YEARS. In that time, I moved out of my dad's house, had an apartment with 2 friends, got my own place, met my now wife in 2009, bought our first house, then our second, owned three cars, And had two kids. WILD.

I just went through and completely redid all my titles on my reviews. It took a while to get through all of them, but it was worth doing IMO. I think they're a bit more approachable and fit a more modern style of title that's a bit more eye catching.

Here's something that the Castlevania Netflix show was missing in relation to Carmilla. In the games, her character is based on a Vampiress of the same name from the book "Carmilla" by Sheridan le Fanu. She is often seen riding a skull or just as a mask, directly relating to the book.

Went to bed super early (for me) and woke up early as well. Enjoying a cup of coffee and just finished the first issue of Imperial and was blown away. I normally am not a big fan of the space stuff for Marvel but this was gripping. Extremely well written and great art!

Some pretty insane mail calls/pickups as of late. Took advantage of the Black Friday deals for the Tomb Raider 4-6. Cobra issues were $2 a piece (almost the full set!) the vinyls were $10 a pop!

I got really inspired after converting Yone2008's Castlevania Legends VRC6 arrangement into individual MP3s, so I created some artwork for it. You can grab the tracks for free if interested in my music section. Source: youtu.be/Sn3s6InLAng?...

Went back to EC3 tonight with my pal Brian and we got some Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo and WakuWaku7 in. Also went upstairs and messed around with some N64 and PS1 wackiness. Good times.

Absolutely DISGUSTED with some of the vile and hateful things said in the Castlevania FB group in response to someone posting a fake Belmont who happens to be black. You wanna hate on it because it was A.I? Fine. But this was GROSS. Castlevania is for EVERYONE.

Released 17 years ago today, it is ALSO the anniversary of #Castlevania Order of Ecclesia! October is a busy month for Castlevania anniversaries. I got this one at launch and loved it. Even had IGA sign it years ago when we met at NYCC! What are YOUR memories of it?

A brand new Director's Cut Commentary is out now on my Patreon! I've been SO friggin' behind on getting these out. I figured I'd do one for the Haunting Ground review. Complete with a refreshed title card (left) in comparison with the old (right) www.patreon.com/posts/141728...

It's no secret that I'm working on a video. Trying to string together a Christopher Belmont costume with limited funds for the video. I tried to do a hodgepodge of the original and Rebirth. Not sure if I'll do the white string thingy around the forehead.
