Tsk. Look at all those commies that hate America. /s

I’m still amazed and a little stunned they made the obscure Star Trek sit down arcade cabinet into an official Hallmark ornament this year. Couldn’t not get one, tho.

Anytime we park the car. “Now remember, we’re in the Itchy lot.”

Facebook just reminded me that I used to be someone, including a running namedrop gag with the original cast of Rick & Morty. youtu.be/lMgJgRpRfZQ?...

Tron Ares was a little sloppy up front, but it coalesced towards the end. Legacy is still my top choice, followed by the Uprising series. There was a clear, missed opportunity for Tron to appear, but maybe Bruce Boxleitner was too grumpy to sign a deal. Sequel bait firmly planted at the end.

Got @jparish.bsky.social’s latest books today, but @limitedrungames.com goofed and sent me an extra Volume 2 in a separate shipment. Not sure what to do with the dupe…happy to send it back since I have no idea who’s want the middle third of the series?

I reviewed Mario Galaxy 2 a zillion years ago, but I don’t remember the character controller getting as confused as frequently as it does in this Switch port. Just run in circles on the Mario ship faster than Mario moves, and the control stick orientation gets all janked.

Rewatching Community the past few days. Just leaving this banger here for reasons

Since I do have a bunch of time on my hands until my next gig, if you're an indie developer looking for some (gratis) professional feedback on your in-development game, DMs are open for this too! Gotta keep my chops sharp after all.

The industry's not quite done shaking things out. Sucks but hey, can't keep it going without a breakout hit. Anyway, I'm looking for work! I'd love to stay in game production/management so hit me up. Producer, writer, localization, quality analysis. DMs open! Retweets are super appreciated.

It’s incredible to find these Discs of Tron environmentals out in the wild AND in excellent playable condition. Barcade in Phila, PA…well done.

I predict by October 14, 2026 people will look upon the day as indifferently as they do on Talk Like a Pirate Day

Thanks for the shoutout at the end of the article, gang! Tekken Advance was another one of those ambitious first-gen GBA games that pushed it out of the “it’s like a portable SNES” expectations. Even though it was similar to SNES Killer Instinct in tech.

I’ll be watching Beast’s gut punch on continuous loop until 2026

I'm glad I'm not the only one that hears this every time I play Kirby and the Forgotten Land www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvNV...

For 9/9, four things I loved about Dreamcast. Importing custom art as Jet Grind Radio tags. Playing Virtua Tennis in realtime on the VMU screen. San Francisco Rush 2049. All of it. And Seaman. WTAF.

I'm still in early times with Silksong but I might bail due to its intentional hard difficulty. The game's beautiful and well-designed, but I don't find any joy in "tee-hee you didn't see that trap, did you" choices, or boss locations that come without a way to save your game nearby.

Shoulda practiced that line in the mirror, Mike

And remember when this was in a Saturn first-person shooter?

Somebody found the sunbeam

Welp, looks like I’m not getting my car out of the garage this morning…

Forget Bubsy, when’s Willy Wombat gonna get his due?

Welp, after 20 years the reaction guys meme made it onto a Magic the Gathering card. Look at me, I’m a collectible!

If they do, I insist on a wireless rerelease of this awesome monstrosity.

Remember when this was in a racing game?

While we wait for the west coast airing of the first Alien Earth episodes About a decade ago I worked with Fox on a not-beloved Alien game. But the highlight was getting to casually hang out with Lance Henriksen. The dude's all class.

I really enjoy UFO 50, but I do think there’s a missed opportunity by the devs to make this more than “just” a collection of games. Since you can just jump around I feel like I just bail after a few plays to jump right into the next one. A more “unlockable” system could’ve made this way better.

Imagine (ha) my surprise reading this book and seeing that Julian called me out in his IGN chapter. Loved reading this. At the time I never appreciated what a legend I worked with. But I sure do now.

I swear it’s like McDonalds wants people to fat finger the absurdly smallest soda possible since it’s the same price for all of them. Why the hell would you organize the sizes this way if not

Not a believer of the Oxford OR serial comma

Publisher @panic.com today going “Oh hello, we’ve got a whole Playdate catalog just waiting for this very thing”

Heyyyyy…I think this is the first delivery from @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social that has stuff I wrote. But it’s been so long I can’t remember what it was.

Some quick-thinking producer saw this animation and thought it’d make a good Dragon’s Lair competitor. Cliffhanger was a pretty cool laserdisc arcade game, ngl

Fun fact, during one of my pre-Covid contract gigs there was so little work to do I disappeared to a barely used break room and 100% Yoshi Island on my Nintendo Switch. Shh.

FINALLY

Welp, finally knocked out 100% completion on DK Bananza. What a trip. Lots of grinding towards the end, but the core experience is outstanding.

Well, two months later. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ok8h...

Fantastic Four is very good. Great. Sensational, even. Shame I can’t think of decent adjective with alliteration to appropriately describe how I feel about it. (Also, the 1960s world building is the best part of the flick. If there isn’t an art book there should be)

If anyone needs me, I’ll be at The Grid for the weekend

Loving Bananza so far! But inherent to the “smash anything, go anywhere”design, the camera system can get a little jank.

All right, knocked out Breath of the Wild 100% before Bananza’s arrival. Go me.

I got my cat a new HD screen

I don’t know why I did this to myself, but I did. Wouldn’t have done it without the Zelda Notes app tho. Tears of the Kingdom will have to wait until after Bananza.

It was rad.

Dodging Superman review spoilers for the next four hours. This is exhausting…

I would commit so many crimes for her
