I'm jumping into a really hard Pokemon challenge next week:

Me, on my way to abuse the company card: "I'm about to reimBURST"

Now eBay needs to offer to buy GameStop for $8. Get absolutely wrecked, GameStop. You treated your employees like trash 15 years ago and I can't imagine how much worse it is now.

Today I'm resuming a journey that's been on hold since 2013! I'm hosting a Recap Movie Night™ of Parts 1 & 2 (Infection, Mutation) and doing some scene setting for Part 3 (Outbreak). Watching the OVAs on PS2, and the official recap videos from the PS4 G.U. Remaster! twitch.tv/backlogboys 3pm CST

This was challenging, esp to avoid duplicates. Honorable mentions below!

This Sunday, Vaughn joins me on stream again! 💙💛 Our YouTube channel is turning 10, and we're going to relive some of our favorite moments across the years and do "director commentary." There will be many shenanigans and probably some emotions. twitch.tv/backlogboys

Donkey Kong 64 has a large number of collectibles, but the Internet is full of misinformation on what exactly that number is. I present an accurate count based on comprehensive datamining, aiming to answer this question once and for all: Donkey Kong 64 has 2142 collectibles.

Streaming Pokémon Colosseum tomorrow! As a huge Pokémon nerd AND hardcore turn-based RPG fan, I've always wanted to dive in and see what this game is all about. I'm very excited! Thanks @fauxretro.bsky.social for getting it on the poll! Playing on #originalhardware with the CHUNKY 55-page manual

Tonight! One night only! 7 CST Dear friend (and fellow Backlog Boy) Vaughn will be joining me on the channel for the first time in nearly FOUR YEARS! We'll be hosting and commentating a Super Smash Bros. 64 CPU Tournament and it's going to be a RIOT! We're dressin' up! Come hang with the Boys!

I keep having to take the lid on and off of my GameCube to access the sd card for my FlippyDrive, and all I can think of is RoJ Anikan.

In a few weeks I'll be hosting a charity marathon to raise money for @americanheart.bsky.social -- On my channel we call it Heart Week! 💙💛 I'll be participating with a team of friends who will also host their own themed streams that week raising money for the same cause. More info soon!

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

This is the hardest I've laughed in a long time

I'm gonna be doing a Retro Rematch™ with 🌈 Yoshi's Island 🏝️ this week on my Thursday and Friday streams. I lost my save file to a battery flash years ago and it's revenge time. Check out everyone on the train--it starts tomorrow! horaro.org/clubcrt/2025...

y'all why are there *so* many Pinocchio movies?

to protect rednecks and their neighbors this Thanksgiving, we should replace their deep-fried, garbage can turkeys with a hot tub sous vide. I think it could work.

My Halloween plans:

Here are the highlights from the October 2025 Soda Shop Meet-up last week! Expect to see these featured on stream in the coming months. 💙💛

If you don't order a coffee AND an orange juice at brunch, you're not on my level 💅

Sub-a-Thon Day 2 starting now 🤓 twitch.tv/backlogboys

Mario Party and chill? twitch.tv/backlogboys Birthday Sub-a-Thon Day 1 🎁 Starting now!

Tomorrow is the first day of the Sub-a-thon Shuffler! Cannot wait 💙💛

we were talkin about Gunpei Yokoi in @permanentviolet.bsky.social's chat the other day and I had to go and watch this incredible video again. youtu.be/uLznLtgcqXI?... Yokoi's story is a huge source of inspiration for me as someone with a lot of eclectic creative pursuits of varying success.

Birthday Sub-A-Thon is gonna be wiiiiiiilllllddd! 11 Mario Party Shuffler, on hardware! I try to win as many parties as possible against Easy CPUs while chat hampers me with modifiers and shuffles the games around. Full rules/breakdown in my discord announcements

Today marks my 600th stream! I'm joined by The Lady™ for some cozy Point and Click! We're continuing our first playthrough of Grim Fandango Remastered 💙💛 twitch.tv/backlogboys

Time to fix the RTC on Boktai and my Gen 3 Pokemon carts! It's so cool how they gave Ruby and Sapphire colorful ringed batteries to match the cartridge shell, but then for some reason Emerald didn't.

This spoke to me pretty hard.

Today I get to start something strange and fun that I've waited a long time for! We're playing ☀️Boktai: The Sun is in Your Hand for GBA. I'm shining a UV flashlight at my GBA player to trigger the solar sensor on the cartridge. I love gimmicky peripherals! Come stop by 💙💛 twitch.tv/backlogboys

I forgot to post yesterday because I felt like junk, but I started Xenosaga Episode I today! I'll be streaming it again tomorrow. First time with Saga, and I'm a bit of a beginner when it comes to the Xeno series (I've only played Gears, Blade 1, and Blade X so far). Day 1 was really promising!

Spooky is a homie and a real one. If you can't contribute to his fundraiser, help him signal boost and watch his streams because he's hilarious, welcoming, and genuine. 💙💛

Mario Kart World is the best Mario Kart game ever made, and it's not even close. 🧵

I beat Star Fox for the SNES today, and Route 3 is one of the most difficult things I've done in a videogame 😤 Excited to try out Star Fox 2 next week!

I started uploading my Final Fantasy Tactics first playthrough to YouTube and I made a watch guide & resources for it. Really happy with how it all came together! I'm trying to give people a customized watch experience while simultaneously avoiding editing. 😅 youtu.be/zykdfAHEmS8

Tomorrow, another big stream journey begins. 🎤💃 We're gonna dismantle 2003 internalized misogyny, relitigate some 🧊 ice cold takes, and propose some hot new ones. 🔥 I'm going to make fun of the game AND find things to love about it. We'll talk Squexit and Final Fantasy HEAVY. Be there. GIRL GAME

I try not to compare myself to others on Twitch, and I try not to focus on "number go up." We all have different pursuits and mindsets. But this feels nice and I'mma have myself a lil moment. 💙💛 Thank you for hangin' with me!

I'm going to unbox my Switch 2 and yap about my WILD experience at the midnight launch last night at the top of stream before we get into FF Tactics! twitch.tv/backlogboys

Hello I'm gonna live post my Switch 2 launch experience (and then go live when I get home)

On this day of remembrance, be sure to fire up your Wii U and gamepad so you don't get bricked by the NAND error.

🧵 This week I'm starting a retro SNES journey and I'm super excited about it so I want to share 💙💛 The Super Nintendo was my first game system and I love it so much. Going live tomorrow (Tue 5/20) at 11:30a CDT to start twitch.tv/backlogboys

It's a 12-hour Sub-a-thon today! Unlocked during charity week back in February 💗 🔧Ratchet vs. Sly 🦝 PS3 Appreciation stream! 1 sub = 1 vote, switch games every hour These are two of my favorite franchises of all time, and I've been especially nostalgic for them lately. twitch.tv/backlogboys

Wait for it

@fauxretro.bsky.social @curtman.bsky.social

Kids today can't even read. Despicable. You have to make time to sit down with the classics.
