New podcast episode is live! Retro Wildlands Expedition Log #1 dives into Metroid Dread. I finally play one of the most praised Switch games ever — and break down why it stressed me out, hooked me fast, and earned a spot among my favorites. theretrowildlands.com/episode/expe...

As a franchise fan, I played Zombieland: Double Tap – Road Trip so you don’t have to. The next entry into the Expedition Log is live with my written review of a game that might help you kill some time… as long as you can temper your expectations. theretrowildlands.com/blog/zombiel...

The development behind games fascinates me, so when I discovered another book that details the Resident Evil series, I had to have it! Can't wait to dive in at some point.

Not finishing can be tough, and a little demoralizing for some. Go commiserate with @retrohangover.bsky.social in another of their awesome Flight episodes. Be warned! If you get anxious about leaving things unfinished, this episode will

Roaming the gaming wildlands tonight with an Anti-Hero IPA from Revolution Brewing and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. No heroes. No nations. Just a mercenary, a mission, and a bitter finish.

I love retro games. I love 8-bit nostalgia. This game, however... It tested me. Check out my latest written review in the Expedition Log! I explored Retro City Rampage DX. See what I thought worked. And what ultimately wore thin. theretrowildlands.com/blog/retro-c...

Once upon a replay, I returned to Child of Light, Rhymes, battles, and beauty, some flaws still in sight. My written review is live in the Expedition Log now, Click the link and chase the light.... I’ll show you how. theretrowildlands.com/blog/child-o...

One thing I'm hoping to do in 2026 is read more. Starting with the complete Resident Evil series of novels by S.D. Perry. And a few other books I've accumulated over the years... 😎

Spending the day at my Father-In-Laws. Salmon is prepped, bourbon is waiting, and my Vita is the perfect cherry on top as I finally try this game out. Spoiler alert: it's a fantastic love letter to the 80's, and I'm all for it.

Coming up on the Retro Wildlands #podcast, I'm counting down my favorite #videogames played in 2025! What was your favorite game you played this year? Tell me what and why you loved it, and I'll feature your comment on the show when it drops! Deadline: End of day 12/29/25

Press X to pet Dogmeat. Err. DeeDee, I mean. 😅 #fallout3 #retrogaming #dogmeat #gamerdog

I made an F-14 Tomcat tree topper inspired by Top Gun. It's... well, it's amazing. Original idea credit: @needforspeedrc on Instagram — go check them out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=37He...

Double the Headhunter, double the satisfaction. Justice (and hops) will be served, thanks to Head Hunter from Fat Head's Brewery @fatheadsbeer.bsky.social and the Playstation 2.

I recently checked out Bluey: The Video Game and my written review is now live in the Expedition Log! It’s perfect for kids, but for us adults, it's a dark tale. Characters learn that memories fade, childhoods end, and you can't Keepy-Uppy a balloon forever... theretrowildlands.com/blog/bluey-t...

Got my hands on this awesome metal display featuring Super Mario Bros thanks to saving up my platinum points at the My Nintendo Store! Compliments the 3rd game nicely. Now I'm saving for the 2nd! 🍄

I'm not a big stamp guy, but these Dungeons and Dragons inspired stamps are pretty neat! They'll compliment our Christmas cards nicely.

Got my #Playstation Wrapped today. I spent way more time with my #PS5 than I thought this year, and the Portal had a lot to do with it! Lots of new trophies this year, too!

I recently checked out Cat Quest II and my written review is now live in the Expedition Log! This game isn't purr-fect... but I still couldn't put it down. And don't forget you can now sign up for a free account on the website and leave comments on any page! theretrowildlands.com/blog/cat-que...

Blades of Steel on the #NES is a lot more fun than I thought it would be. Especially getting into fights, which I'm doing way too often, haha. The question now is, which do I like better? This, or Ice Hockey?🤔

Big update in The Retro Wildlands! 🌊 My review of Still Wakes the Deep is live—an intense, oil-soaked panic. 💬 Plus, the website now lets you create a free account to comment on any post or episode. Join the discussion! theretrowildlands.com/blog/still-w...

I listened to the Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 soundtrack WAY too much this year. To the tune of being a top 0.2% fan. Ha, wow. It deserved every singe moment of my time. And you know what? I still don't know a lick of French...

Not saying my PSP is possessed… but it did start yelling ‘VENGEANCE!’ 💀🔥

I really wanted to focus on completing more games this year and as of today, I hit my 2025 goal and completed at least 50. Between games like The Last of Us Part 2, Metroid Dread, Mario Odyssey and Expedition 33, I ate pretty well this year. Can't wait to rank my favorites on the podcast next month!

Syphon Filter 2 was always the stand out game in the series for me on the original Playstation. Another series that really should come back one of these days...

Forget Tron: Ares. We have the original #Tron at home.

Sorry, monkeys. Beer is for humans! Beer For Humans is a nice refreshing brew from Rhinegeist and is a great companion while you wrangle up those mischievous apes in "Ape Escape: On The Loose" for the #PSP!

I've made the decision to take a break from The Retro Wildlands podcast for the rest of the year. I'm not going anywhere and I'll still be working on and posting short form content but there will be no new podcast episodes this year. Check out the link 4 more. theretrowildlands.com/episode/a-sh...

Happy Halloween, wildlanders! Hope everyone had a spooky day, either playin' games, dressing up or whatever else one does this day! Me? Just out here slaying demons and handing out candy. 🎃

When the fog rolls in and shrouds everything around you, all you can do, is pray for Daybreak. #SilentHill2 is a classic horror gem that stands out through the fog, and that's why Clear Sky Daybreak from Wolf's Ridge Brewing pairs so well with it. Coffee infused cream ale. Light in the darkness.

Another written mini-review from the Retro Wildlands just dropped! A quick break from the spooks, I went back and reviewed Theatrhythm: Final Bar Line, the Final Fantasy rhythm game that never failed to put me in a good mood. theretrowildlands.com/blog/theatrh...

I recently joined @retrohangover.bsky.social as a first time guest, and we dove headfirst into F.E.A.R., the first person shooter full of slow motion bullet time, jump scares and a creepy ghost girl!

Another mini-review from the Retro Wildlands just dropped! This time, check out my thoughts on #SilentHill: The Short Message, a quick and direct experience that wasn't at all what I was expecting. theretrowildlands.com/blog/silent-...

It’s pretty surreal — playing the remake of a nearlt 30-year-old masterpiece on a device that lets me beam my #PS5 from home. What a time to be alive.

It was my privilege and honor to visit house Firestone once again on the @pixelprojectradio.bsky.social #podcast as Rick Chris from @anovelconsole.bsky.social and I and talk about a game that I loved when I was younger and found a new appreciation for as an adult. Check out the episode, my friends!

One shot, one signature.💀 I'm not one for collecting funkos or signed memorabilia, but I couldn't resist adding another #Punisher #funko to my collection, especially one signed by Jon Bernthal himself!

Posse assembled. DeeDee and Dexter are ready to ride into the undead sunset.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a game I can't stop thinking about. @pixelprojectradio.bsky.social has a 4 part analysis on the game and I enjoyed every episode. Absolutely check it out!

Haunting Ground is one of my favorite spooky games, but not for the traditional reasons. Check out my thoughts in a blog that's just waiting for your eyes and attention!

Say what you will about remakes and remasters, but sometimes the right one can make you feel like a kid again, and I'll gladly pay for that experience.

Pairing craft and craftiness tonight: a can of Truth from Rhinegeist and my very first run through F.E.A.R. on #PS3. One promises hops, the other psychological horror. Cheers, gamers! 🍻
