A little Meowth sketch to commemorate the memory of James Carter Cathcart, on what would've been his 72nd Birthday today. He's a big part of why Meowth's one of my favourite characters in all of fiction, and his work'll stick with me forever.

About time for a logo rebrand. I think I went overboard on the presentation, but who's gonna stop me?

This just in - I'm an idiot. "Off the clock" does not mean "going off the air". It just means the show timeslots are shorter due to lack of ads. Sorry about that, folks.

Looking at my TV guide right now as well as TVpassport, it seems YTV WON'T be going dark during those timeslots, and while the schedule is nothing great, it's still showing stuff. If anything changes, you'll hear it from me for sure.

Played some more MGS1 today and got up to the Cyber Ninja fight - everything I needed to know how to do was literally in my head because of Metal Gear Awesome 2. "Just throw grenades at me". "140.15" "You can't use weapons on that floor."

My podcast is out now. Hope you like me talking about old anthology shows.

NEW VIDEO! The Spongebob Movie: Search For SquarePants is here. How does it stack up against the other films? Was it originally meant for theaters? Why does the Ice Spice song sound like that? Find out in my (BIG) review. youtu.be/Z1ZLTaVSQZc Likes & shares appreciated!

Before the year is out, the #Kongversation checks back in on the Rare side of things with some thoughts on Sea of Thieves' recently-concluded Season 17! Did Smugglers' Tide deposit some much-needed improvements to the game's narrative structure, or is it still washed? www.dkvine.com?p=podcasts&s...

Adult Swim Canada, everyone.

Playing Metal Gear Solid 1 for the first time today. Died three times in the opening area and was getting frustrated, but had a good laugh when Ocelot called me an idiot for blowing up the hostage during his boss fight. We'll see where things go from here!

Every now and then I look up Toronto slang and I say to myself "I don't know anyone who's ever said these words in my life".

The #Kongversation wraps up its 2025 Donkey Kong Bananza coverage! @theogsxips.bsky.social stops by to discuss Emerald Rush, the monthly events, the statues celebrating DK series heritage, and how the mode can serve as a bridge to the next Donkey Kong game! www.dkvine.com?p=podcasts&s...

Ok, this is kinda nuts.

Legendary Rare designer Gregg Mayles has posted the full Stop 'N' Swop document for Banjo-Tooie! This includes plans for Donkey Kong as a playable character in Banjo-Tooie's multiplayer, how the Ice Key would be passed from Banjo-Kazooie to Donkey Kong 64 to Tooie (and beyond!), and much, much more.

NEW VIDEO! I interview voice actor Oliver Wyman, for the second time! We talk about his work on 4Kids-dubbed anime, how he's voice-matched for Christopher Walken, the time he voiced a Pikachu, and just general nerdy stuff for a good two hours. youtu.be/XNfV7Ij__yg

Gave this baby an edit, with the writing/additional edits done up by Dr. Lava. Go on, give it a watch!

DVR said Adult Swim's The Elephant was only 10 minutes long, so I record 23 minutes just in case. Turns out it was a full half-hour, so I miss the last third. I see a re-run for 4am, so I plug in that in the DVR, but despite everything it still didn't record. This is my villain origin story.

Apparently it's Aster Phoenix's canonical birthday, so I'm re-sharing this in honour of him!

The full artwork I did up for the interview. I really had to think about what characters to place in this piece - a mix between stuff people remember, mixed with stuff personally important to Ollie, while not dipping in too much from my last piece. I thought about adding Big, but he was... too big.

I take back everything bad I ever said about Budew.

Just as we did with the original DKC, Jeff and I ranked all 24 of Donkey Kong Country 2's unique characters on a tier list #Kongversation! We're judging Kongs, Animal Buddies, Bosses, and other notables... using only the criteria of their presentation through 1995! www.dkvine.com?p=podcasts&s...

I got such a huge multiplier the Donkey Kong arcade jingle starting playing. I swear I've never heard it before now, and if I did, it still made me very giddy.

I'm happy to say that I've got a new video coming out soon - something that was long, long, LONG overdue, but I'm happy to finally get it out the door this week. You might know what it is, but you'll know for sure in good time!

It's a bonus #Kongversation where Matt and I discuss Rare Collection 1 for Evercade, including the first-ever reissue of Conker's Pocket Tales! Does it still hold up? Did it ever? What do we think of this format? And what future Rare Collections would we like to see? www.dkvine.com?p=podcasts&s...

I do like how if I want to play the new Mega Man game (which I do), I STILL don't have to buy a PS5. 14 years later, the PS4's still getting games that suit me.

What is this, Land Before Time?

Rowlf said "Donkey Kong Bananza" and "The Game Awards will always let you down". All is well.

What if Miss Piggy karate chopped Kojima tonight?

Today (among most other days) we remember Maddie Blaustein, and I always like to share this Pokemon Chirstmas Bash cover I did to honour her work. Carter Cathcart did the instrumental for this song, so it's a double-dose of Meowth celebration. Always and forever. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZVT...

A pretty big undertaking for me: I interpreted how the #DonkeyKong Land title theme might sound in DK64! Of the three DKL pieces I've done so far, this one is by far the most creative/reimagined, while keeping the actual meat of the song entirely unchanged.

Well, this showed up on my front door... guess I gotta play Metal Gear next year! @mikerphone.bsky.social is gonna make me take back all the smack I've said about Kojima one way or another.

Just saw the Bojack Horseman episode "Escape from L.A." Good. God. I'm involuntarily shedding tears.

The colours, the cozy vibes... ahh, I love this.
