#ThisThingRulesTrivia 💿 The album art of Rush's final studio album, Clockwork Angels, depicts an esoteric clock that reads "9:12." This is a reference to both the birthday of Neil Peart (who was born on September 12th, 1952) and to Rush's album 2112 (as 9:12 in military time is "21:12").

I cast my vote (and my fishing line) for Dredge 🦈🦈🦈

Watching the Kojima Productions livestream right now; I love that they just highlighted the fact that Hiroshi Miyamoto, the director of the upcoming Death Stranding movie, previously worked on a recent Precure movie

A basement kitchenette, you say? Sounds like a great place to bake up some more pizzas on a Saturday:

I was today years old when I realized that the reason why you have to strike Volvagia (from Ocarina of Time) with a hammer is because the entire boss arena is set up like a giant game of whack-a-mole

Hope everyone's having a relaxing Friday (well, as relaxing as things can be in these times) - I'm currently hard at work on my latest game show segment for the next @kindafunnyvids.bsky.social Happy Hour, and figured I'd share a quick tease; really happy with how this one is shaping up!

Plus: I share my early impressions of Hollow Knight Silksong, and also Peak too!

Thanks to the magic of Bricklink, I’ve finally been able to collect all the pieces needed to recomplete my 2002 Jedi Starfighter Lego set 🪄

My pizza-making obsession has gotten to the point where I bought a 15-litre basin just to properly store bread flour

Call the kids, this wholesale grocery store has KAM

Still somewhat bummed that Metroid Prime 4 isn't really getting the VIP treatment that it deserves from these Nintendo Directs; it should absolutely be closing the show, not popping up randomly in the middle of the presentation. All that said - Samus having a motorcycle is both an inspired (1/2)

Full circle moment "According to Hiroji Kiyotake, the Metroid's home planet, SR388, was named after a popular Yamaha SR 400 Series Motorcycle engine." @katewillaert.bsky.social

"Charlie Kirk died as he lived: propagating hateful myths about marginalized groups in our society. He was both a profiteer and architect of America’s increasingly violent culture war. He spent his entire adult life pouring fuel on the fire. You reap what you sow." To Hell With Charlie Kirk

Growing up it was a party whenever a Bionicle commercial came on, and it was especially awesome when this one commercial for the Vahki toy line dropped in 2004; awesome stuff:

#ThisThingRulesTrivia 📺 In one of his earliest TV appearances, Bryan Cranston starred in a commercial for the Atari 2600 game MegaForce - a Defender-esque action game based on the 1982 movie of the same name.

Breakfast hash for lunch? Only in my neck of the woods:

What’s better than spending the weekend alone at the family cottage? Doing it with this game:

I brought a special guest with me on this episode!

I’ll be sharing my full thoughts on the game on tomorrow’s episode of @respawnaimfire.bsky.social; for now, I’ll say this: I’m very much of two minds. Half of me wants 33 brought down a peg for its many little annoyances and problems that plagued me throughout its entire campaign - and (1/2)

KFC in Canada is currently offering a limited-time menu of pickle-themed items - including a Pickle Pepsi - and so at the urging of some discord friends, I ventured into the Canadian wilderness this afternoon to try their pickle-y wares (thread, 1/4)

At the very least it’s fun to think of this as a sort of tailgate party before the big event

Man, you don’t know how weird it is to wake up from a nap and have your entire timeline be “oh God I hope it happens” in the vaguest terms and have no clue what “it” is. (Me, now informed: I hope “it” happens!)

Introducing Super Warboat, a new game that I hosted on yesterday's @kindafunnyvids.bsky.social Happy Hour podcast! It's a riff on the classic KF/AF game with some trivia goodness; best played with a host keeping track of score (but there's an answer key below the game if you want to try it solo):

BIG NEWS: we've updated our Twitch username! You can now catch our streams live...at Twitch.tv/RespawnAimFire! 🎉🎉🎉

Ziff Davis and IGN routinely decide that work done by our laid off colleagues is not important. But inevitably, that crucial work falls onto those who remain. Not this time. Not anymore.

We're LIVE NOW over on twitch.tv/affableidiots talking about our favorite highlights from Gamescom, and checking in on our Fantasy Critic! Come hang out and let us know what Silksong you're gonna play as in September!

I voted for Pokemon Snap, as it's been a hot minute since I last played it (and it'll give me an excuse to check out the new one too) 💫

Oh snapppppp

Some of my Pokemon GO spoils from all the raiding I did today; a huge thaaaaaank you to the dozens of other Montrealers that made capturing Eternatus possible 🙏

Hanging in there? You won't have to much longer - because the show will be returning *soon* with a new episode that Brian and Max recorded together in Düsseldorf! Pleeeeeeeeeease look forward to it 💖

Game’s going good so far

So I’m doing something tonight that I’ve never done before in my 30 years of living on this here planet earth I’m attending, an actual, real, bonafide, goddamn game of goddamn football (in Canada)

RAF 404 is now live on YouTube and podcast services! We went deep into all the announcements from year's Pokemon World Championships, Battlefield 6's beta, the new Destiny 2 raid, our favorite video game quotes, and much more! youtu.be/0fIGSKTXskY

Also: if you're a Kinda Funny Best Fried, I'll have a few teases to share about my new Happy Hour game that I'm currently working on!

Hope y'all are doing well while the boys are at Gamescom - in the mean time, why not give our hot dog episode a re-listen? (or a first-listen, if it's your first time) Hot dogs originated in Germany, so you'll feel like you've been transported right into the Autobahn alongside Brian and Max 🌭🌭🌭

Bluesky peeps: it's currently looking like I'm going to be visiting Vancouver for the first time towards the end of September, partially to visit family, and also partially for a Pokemon GO event. What are your recommended restaurants and eats/secret delights of Vancouver that I should hit up?

Currently in the middle of a meating

this episode is great fun, make sure to stick around for the amazing Swiss Chalet commercial at the end!

We’re currently hosting a few guests from out of town at our house, so I decided it was #PizzaTime. At the request of our guests I topped one one of the pies with pineapple and bell peppers; I don’t love pineapple on pizza *but* I lucked out and found a really fresh pineapple, which helped out a lot

Oh btw! I also appeared this week on the @wywfpod.bsky.social podcast!

The Seal album "System" is underrated, y'all

Been very busy over the past few days working hard on my next, upcoming game for this month’s @kindafunnyvids.bsky.social Happy Hour Podcast; y’all are in a for a real treat! 🤫

I still think it's pretty messed up that they broke both of the actor's legs to fit him in the air bud costume

"Canadians need to cancel the National Post. In an era when conservative-leaning journalism is racing to the bottom to become far-right propaganda, Postmedia has set a new standard for debasing themselves. They are traitors to Canada’s Fourth Estate." An editorial by @taylornoakes.com.

Bloom & Rage Tape 2 is a mild letdown coming off of Tape 1, but it isn’t a disaster by any stretch; it’s way too short, and way too lacking in engaging gameplay moments - it’s honestly more cutscene than interactive - but I enjoyed getting to wrap up the girls’ stories. (1/2)
