A little less than 500 votes so far! Remember that you have until the end of Sunday to fill out this poll and help choose the final set of games in our Greatest of All Time Poll!

As I work to put together the Top Games of All Time Poll, I find myself looking at Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles. While there are changes, it's feeling less significant. Should that be dropped and replaced with the next PSP game in line, God of War: Chains of Olympus? OR...

Now that I've finished Mega Man Battle Network, the Mega Man-ia Marathon continues with Mega Man Xtreme 2! And it's so weird to think that Capcom released a Game Boy Color game after the GBA was already out, let alone one in the X series. Let's see how it plays! www.twitch.tv/bitnerdgames

I think with the polls going for almost a year, just to build to a singular point, some people have missed the plot that these aren’t just lists that exist in their own bubble. Some people seem pissed that I don’t count duplicates anymore. How dare I besmirch the rules that they think should apply.

Over 350 votes so far for the Wild Card Poll! Remember this is the last chance to get new games on the final Greatest Game of All Time Poll! So let's see if some of your favorites that didn't make it on before will get these last slots!

This was a wonderful discussion, where we kept saying Hitman over and over again for the entire runtime because Hitman Hitman Lots of really cool mini-chats in this one, about some overlooked games! Hitman.

The discussion of the Top 10 Gen 9 Multiplatform results is now live where @jon.gvg.io and I are joined by @thegoldenbolt.net! Now you too can argue in the comments about whether Switch 2 is Gen 9 or Gen 10! (I based it on games across systems.) youtu.be/9nTNMZQpb0o?...

Got that new Nintendo Store app & a lot of my most played games are skewed because of kids also playing. But the data that I find most fascinating is pre-2020. Before I had Kai I had days where I’d play 9, 10, 12, even 14 hours of XC2 or DQ11 to get reviews done on time. Not really possible anymore.

This person took this when they called the race

My god this is for real one of the most incredible speeches I’ve ever seen by an elected US politician: ‘And if there is any way to terrify a despot, it is to dismantle the very conditions that allowed him to accumulate power. This not only how we stop Trump, it’s how we stop the next one.’

Just finished recording our longest One Piece at a Time Episode ever at just over two hours with @brandonbovia.bsky.social where we covered Chapters 906-910. Great great stuff, but even better is all the election news we saw afterward. HELL YES. One Piece pairs so well with all this.

Kai was finally interested in the Bluey Video Game so we got it for him for his birthday. He’s definitely loving it and it’s super amusing to me that they actually just updated it with new content. It seems super cute so far.

Over 260 votes so far and I did a preliminary look at what the Top 10 might be. There's some games in there I absolutely didn't expect and can tell some fandoms are coming together. So be sure to get your votes in because these could absolutely shift before the end of Sunday.

Good news! I did some testing with Google Forms and the program actually allows for as many options as I want plus I can duplicate the question to make the full Top 10s as simple as possible. I'll also be adding box art for visual reference. Wild Card may be hell, but the final round will be simple.

5 years ago, my little buddy Kai was born. He’s wild, stubborn, smart, independent, and I love him more than anything. He has the day off preschool thanks to Election Day (Go Vote!) so we’re spending it together by hanging out and picking out his cake later. Happy birthday son!

It's weird to think that @brandonbovia.bsky.social and I are within 300 chapters of catching up to One Piece. That's still a lot, but with 900 behind us now, we're over 3/4s of the way there. But it's another incredible set as we near the end of Whole Cake! youtu.be/kKkRX028uwA?...

I am loving this game so much! 🥰

I had no idea what Dinkum was until the Direct. But thanks to this sponsored spot, I've actually found it to be quite the enjoyable survival game with a dash of Dragon Quest Builders. Plus I got to work on this with @belleaim.com and that's always a good time! youtu.be/Asna_CfafeM?...

It's time to go wild! This week's poll is the wild card where ANY game is viable. Any system, any era and that includes mods like Project Melee and fan games like AM2R. The only limitation is that previous winners won't count & randomizers will be toward the original game. forms.gle/AdYdzyZYTEcd...

Only 12 hours remain to vote in this poll! It's a great chance for recent cult favorites to make the list and be considered for the final poll. Let's see what comes out on top!

Only a little 200 votes so far with a day and a half left to vote! Let's see if we can hit 300 votes before the end and discover what stands out among the multiplatform releases this gen!

While the main story and gameplay of Emio: The Smiling Man is fun if too circuitous at times, that absolutely brutal epilogue brings every loose thread together. It creates a hell of an impression that I don't think I'll forget for a very long time.

Tonight, in celebration of Halloween, I'm bringing an end to my playthrough of Emio: The Smiling Man! It's only be freaky in spurts but perhaps these final two chapters will really bring the scares. Come join me over on Twitch! www.twitch.tv/bitnerdgames

The morning sun, come to vanquish this horrible night. Happy Halloween!

It's not a long list, but curious about how the numbers shook out for the Switch 2? The ongoing doc has been updated for you to check out after watching the latest discussion! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Not quite 200 votes so far for this poll which isn't too surprising but I would like to reach at least 300 before it ends on Sunday. If you haven't submitted anything yet, definitely think about it and get your entries in here!

Hey everyone, here's a real simple way to disable "Super Resolution" on your channels: • YouTube Studio • Settings • Channel • Advanced settings • Uncheck "Let YouTube enhance visual quality" • Uncheck "Let YouTube enhance audio quality"

I have finished the first Mega Man Battle Network game, and it's good! Definitely has issues but the battles were fun, the redesigns mostly hit, and the story was basic but enjoyable with a WILD twist at the end. Still, I'm looking forward to BN2. But first Xtreme 2, Rockman Strategy, and X6...

Only two polls remain before every Greatest Game of All Time finalist is determined! And first up is the poll for the Top 10 Multiplatform Game from the 9th Generation of Consoles! That's Switch 2, PS5, and Series X! And remember, duplicates from past polls will not count! forms.gle/Zg8tU6kf3VQo...

I was really hoping to get a review code for Dragon Quest 1&2 HD-2D. Especially as I had played the NES version of both games last year. Sadly, that did not happen but I’d love to revive that series at some point. As I like to say, DQ always deserves more love.

What are the Top 10 Games on the Switch 2 so far? It's a good barometer test this early on in the life cycle. And besides, this is the only real chance to have a Nintendo Top 10 NOT dominated by Nintendo. Join me, @jon.gvg.io, and @ash.gvg.io as we discuss the results! youtu.be/Z2FwUNa7udk?...

115 votes and counting so far! This poll is the best chance for games like Digimon, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, TMNT: Shredder's Revenge, Alan Wake 2, and so many more! I'm curious what will rise to the top.

It is SO weird to be this close to the end of Whole Cake, but things are wrapping up...kinda? At least @brandonbovia.bsky.social and I get one heck of an end to the Katakuri fight in this week's episode of One Piece at a Time! youtu.be/en6dCJv8Spk?...

FYI for Google Drive users.

Lowkey two of the best girls in One Piece! Love Lola and Chiffon!

Only 7 1/2 hours remain to vote to for your Top 10 (or 5 or 3 or whatever) Switch 2 games so far! Let's see what stands out on the system so far in the discussion that will go live by Wednesday this week!

Oh? Today’s the 25th anniversary of the PS2? May I humbly suggest our discussion on the Top 10 games on the system as voted on by our community? It truly was a hell of a system. youtu.be/6IM6sJ3ji60?...

I can’t watch the full thing as it started talking about characters I haven’t met yet, but this is already a brilliant video worth watching going over why One Piece is so thematically rich. The themes resonate the world over and I can’t recommend it enough.

Nearly 600 votes and counting! Make sure to get your votes in before midnight tomorrow and we'll see what stands out so far on Nintendo's latest system.

For the first time, I had a publisher reach out to me, not GVG, and ask if I could stream their game. So why not? Let's have an extra stream where I'm checking out Persona 3 Reload for the first time via the newly released Switch 2 version! Thanks to Atlus for the code! www.twitch.tv/bitnerdgames

After looking at everything to do with that Halo remake, yeah, I’m good. I’ll pass.

If Sakurai’s second Kirby Air Riders Direct got you hyped for the game, maybe you’d be interested in checking out a full look back on the first title… 👀

Curious what other games made the 2020s Indies List? After watching the discussion, be sure to check out the full results in the ongoing Total Votes doc! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

500 votes and counting! Make sure to submit your vote though you may want to watch the new Top 10 Discussion so you know which games will now be discounted if they appear on the Switch 2 list. People may say there's not much to vote on, but I'm glad you're still voting.

Finally had a chance to watch the Air Riders Direct. I’m still not sure if the game is for me so I definitely want to check out that demo. But I can’t deny that the game is stuffed with so much stuff to do and unlock. All I know is that I do get it, I’m maining Lolo & Lala!

The discussion on the Top 10 Greatest Indies of the 2020s, at least so far, is now live! If anything, this just serves as a great recommendation list, especially as we go beyond the Top 10 itself. I dare you to come out of this without a few new games on your radar: youtu.be/xgq20zWaL9Q?...

We're back! And it's the final console in the lineup, the Switch 2! It may be a young console, but there are still standout games worth consideration for the greatest of all time. So let's see your Top 10, or 5, or however many you've played so far! forms.gle/Zx92V7JCbT4L...
