Its been rumored for awhile that Basic Fun! was going to acquire them. Now it's official. Its good that they're going to continue to support Arcade1Up stuff (assuming leaderboards and online play). I just hope the home arcade market is able to thrive/adjust/ect in this economic climate we're in.

It's sad I expected that kind of response from him. Even sadder that I've become numb to it.

This Rob Reiner news is just awful and tragic. Soo many of his movies were a big part of my life growing up. We even had some quotes and music from Princess Bride at our wedding because it was special for both of us. Just sad. RIP

Happy Hannukkah! Night 1

John Cena is the Greatest WWE Wrestler of All-Time World Champion x 17 Royal Rumble Winner x 2 U.S. Champion X 5 Tag Team Champion X 4 Intercontinental Champion Never gave up until it was time to Tap out of the ring. What a career. What a story. Thank you John Cena 🫡 #WWE #RG3 #johncena

No question. Always.

The wife and I made our yearly visit to the farm and cut down our tree. "She's a beaut!"

Whoever was going to get WB, it was going to suck. Giant media companies acquiring each other is not great. Layoffs, high prices, lower salaries, more layoffs. It just sucks. Doesn't matter who was going to acquire them, it's all literally Giant Douche or Turd Sandwich.

CLASSIC DOOM MODS NO, IT'S NOT BLOOD YET, SHUT UP. youtu.be/DbizMATiuBI

As someone who supports physical media. I'm offended by this silly ad (not really but still)

Coworker: "Hey my monitor isn't working. I know I can expense one but I didn't get a chance to go to the store. Can I mirror my screen to my iPhone and work off that screen today and tomorrow? I'll get a new one Fri" Me: (No dude. Go to the store now and come back. Stop wasting everyone's time)

My end of year wrapped is in. VSQ being my top artist isn't a surprise since I obsessed over what string covers to play for the wedding. My genre of music is all over the place but that top 5 feels about right. My top songs is a bit influenced by my warm up work out/running mix haha

King’s Quest IV Retold VGA looks like a wonderful remaster of the EGA original. Get it here: www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/play/game/29...

😔❤️

I've supported Yacht Club Games for awhile and I backed this game. I imagine it will do well but I hope it does better than that for their sake.

I think it's worth pointing out that very few video-game companies are as transparent as Shovel Knight maker Yacht Club Games, and I appreciate that the studio was so candid about their story and why their next game, Mina the Hollower, has taken so long www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I bought this at the mall during Blackfriday so I could get the shuttle craft GWP. My wife rolled her eyes because we have a backlog and don't have space to display it yet. So temporarily it's going into storage until after the holidays... which Finn clearly approves of.

They opened a new Ikea near me recently and I finally got around to getting one of those wall boards that every tech person with a social media presence has. Still a work in progress. I have a lot of clutter in my office space so it will be put to use.

Long holiday week is over mostly... Dropped my brother off at the train station and now I have an hour and a half before I'm back to work 🙃. Need more recovery time from the week

So if y’all didn’t see the teaser at the end of OLR, we’re expanding and starting anew. Orange Lounge Radio IIDX is coming in January!

My brother is coming up to stay with us for the week so I took today off to clean our place before his arrival. I'm going full "80s getting stuff done montage" on this clean-up.

I get grief for being a sports gamer at times because I "pay for roster updates". Honestly, folks aren't that far off nowadays. With the cost of games getting higher I've become content waiting for the Blackfriday sale when NHL game is 50%+ off. So technically this is "release day" for me.

This is who she was. Passionate in her beliefs. Fiercely loyal to her friends. Never afraid to let you know exactly where she stood. The best. Fun Fact: I remember arguing with her over which of us hated Piggy the most. I was sure I did. She disagreed. It remains unresolved...

Newest edition of "Riddles from PT". My PT doc wasn't proud of this one, but I enjoyed it.

We laughed, we cried, we drank, we shared memories, we reflected and we gave thanks to the trio who gave us their Sunday nights and entertained us for soo long. What an achievement and I'm glad I was there for it.

🥲🧡

Finn knew right when I needed a cuddle. Right as the feels of OLR ending hit me, he came over and cuddled. Truly the best little dog in the world.

Please join us fans for the Finale of the longest running (English) Video Game Podcast (@guinnessworldrecords.com certified) tonight. Come share 23+ yrs of wonderful memories and laughs as we look to the future. "It's not goodbye it's see you later"

A little surreal to close this chapter after so long but I know in my heart it’s time. Goodbyes are hard but it’s not really goodbye it’s just change and evolution.

I spent the morning replaying Gunstar Heroes and I regret nothing.

Updated total run time is: 2,746 hrs 47 mins 05 secs To put it in perspective, that's longer than if you watched every episode of: SNL Golden Girls The Simpsons Friends Dr Who *Approximate added run times minus specials. Don't drive yourself nuts checking the math* @orangeloungeradio.com

Another day of PT another daily riddle. This took me a while to get.

For the wedding I wanted to have my walkout song be Hopes and Dreams/Save The World in a nice Piano or String Quartet version. But it was tough to find one that wasn't a youtube that our DJ was willing to play. This would have helped haha

Took a 2 day trip down to visit friends and my brother. Dragged Finn along and he was trooper the whole time. Some dogs can't handle 4+hrs each way in the car. Ever since we got him he's been super chill in the car

Bringing this one from the other website Homie moving like a Treasure Co. Ltd boss from 1993

Didn't take a photo of the riddle at PT but the one today was: "What do you call a fake spaghetti?" My Dr wasn't proud of this one.

One thing is for sure the sets and landscape will be beautiful. I imagine we'll find out who is playing Ganondorf soon. Gameawards announcement maybe?

Gabecube is here 😄

My boss asked me for times to go over my EOY eval. I gave a bunch of times a week ago, including on one of my days off. No response. Flash forward to today while I'm at the gym before work. "Hey I know you didn't pick today to be your meeting day but can you sign on early to do your meeting?" Me:

OLR Did You Know: If you add up every existing episode (including specials) of OLRs record run it's 2,742 hrs 14 mins and 44 secs worth of content (thanks to the OLR Achieve). If you were to listen to every episode nonstop it would take you 114 days 6 hours and 15 mins. @orangeloungeradio.com

Wild that Vine is back. I'm a little cautious since Jack is involved but the AI content ban gives me hope.

First full day doing PT and my Dr likes posting a riddle every day. Kind of an easier one but timely.

When I was growing up as a young hockey fan I remember stealing the paper from my dad to read his Rangers articles. My dad respected him and his articles would be a conversation piece for us. We'd often talk about "Hey did see what Brooks said?". He will be missed. Fuck Cancer. RIP Brooksie

OLR Did you Know: Orange Lounge Radio started it's record run with it's first episode on June 23rd, 2002 Later that same week a young Wrestler made his debut on June 27th.... and his name is John Cena. John Cena's final match happens this Dec. @orangeloungeradio.com finale will be Nov 23rd.

First snowfall of the winter. I'm not ready for this.
