What do a butt-hurt CEO, the metaverse, and an unfinished story have in common?

Probably someone that frequents Twitter too much, but it's also everything that's in tonight's Bad Games Block stream!

It's MindsEye, live in less than an hour!

We played some Jackbox during last night's stream and I thought @quest64official.bsky.social would appreciate this one:

@hiddengemsreviews.bsky.social

Thanks everyone for an awesome start to 2026 with a super fun stream! Lots of games were given away, Jackbox and Rifftrax fun were had, and we even played some old demo disc games on XP!

Can't wait to show you guys what else I've got planned for the year's streams!

Happy New Year! Come ring in 2026 by winning some Steam keys and playing some games with us, followed by a little hit of Windows XP nostalgia!

Hey gang! There's still a couple hours before I go live with our New Years stream but I always like to remind everyone that you don't need to own any of the Jackbox games, Rifftrax, or What The Dub to play along at home! (1/2) youtube.com/live/ksUgZYj...

Hey gang! Still hoping to stream this week, but my uvula is still a bit swollen after the surgery. Better than it was but talking still sucks!

I'll keep everyone updated as it's going to be a busy as hell week for me!

@hiddengemsreviews.bsky.social

Hey gang! Was hoping to stream tonight but my uvula has swollen to the size of a speedbag after yesterday's surgery, so talking sucks (I'm completely fine otherwise!)

We'll definitely do the (after) Christmas stream next week once I feel better!

@hiddengemsreviews.bsky.social

Hey everyone! Got out of surgery fine (nothing serious, just a cyst removal), but because they had to put me under general anesthesia for it I'll see about doing our Christmas stream tomorrow depending on how I'm feeling!

If not, it'll be next week's stream!

@hiddengemsreviews.bsky.social

Hectic holidays and a sinus infection! Sadly this means no stream this week as I'm going to try and spend today and tomorrow feeling better before going up to visit family, but depending on how I feel after Friday's surgery I may still stream!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Couldn't sleep, so I FINALLY finished up the subtitles for the Torcher: Arsonist of Evil playthrough!

If you can't see the stream replay for tonight's stream, it's not you: It's some bozo trying to copyright claim some Spyro 2 music (Winter Tundra) as their own thing.

I disputed it, but if it ends up causing any problems I'll just mute the intro:
