Clair Obscure: Expedition 33 is the best game that I have played in a very, very, very long time. The gameplay is solid (which is always good) but the story, setting, soundtrack and other touches truly elevate the experience to something near transcendent. We talk about it for 2 hours!

You want 2 full hours of our thoughts about Expedition 33? Well here ya go!

Our First Time Thoughts About Clair Obscure: Expedition 33 There is a disruption in the universe - Cal & Murph played the same game at the same time! We HAD to sit down & talk about Clair Obscure: Expedition 33. Premiering on Youtube now! Huge spoiler warning though :) youtu.be/6q7_GYo-_7c?...

wdym its been 14 years since the Ocarina of Time 3DS remake

See you next episode!! 🤭🤭🤭

Murph on every episode:

I love the Switch so dearly - but I’m basically smack dab in the middle of every possible use case. I take a backpack with me everywhere & have since I was 17. I play nearly every major Nintendo & Indie title religiously. I game in bed while my wife reads or games beside me. I travel!

This console on paper should be my favorite thing Nintendo has ever made. But it isn't. And it's not just because I like being a hater, I legitimately rarely use this thing.

What Will Be the Nintendo Switch's Legacy? - A Retrospective Cal & Murph look back on the Nintendo Switch’s lifespan as its time in the limelight comes to a close. What was good, what was bad, and most importantly, will people collect for it? youtu.be/e8e5WGPqaHU

Took a little time and reorganized my game collection. Couldn’t keep the column approach so had to change it up a little. Always love seeing how much this has filled up over the last few years

Alright we want to see your retro collections 🔫🔫

Where are the retro gamers on this platform anyways I must find you!!!

ISO Resident Evil 2 for the GameCube. If you’ve got it, let’s talk! :)

Got there :)

Mentioned it in the YouTube comments but I’ve definitely been a fan of the CustomGameCases route for handheld stuff. They use basically DS cases for GB/C/A titles and it looks great on a shelf. Pricey, but worth it if you wanna have a nice way to store your stuff.

Organization is one of the least glamorous parts about collecting (both in video games and Magic for that matter), but it really is an important aspect of any physical-based hobby. Plus, once you've got everything looking nice you can feel really good about it!

How to Organize Your Game Collection (and Game Room)! On this episode, Cal & Murph discuss how they take care of their video game collections. We've got tips, tricks, ideas, frustrations, & more! Listen/watch wherever podcasts are: linktr.ee/leveluppod_

Our Favorite Comfort Games! The holidays have us feeling comfy and nostalgic, so this week we're talking about our favorite games to put on and vibe with. Let's talk comfort games! Listen now: linktr.ee/leveluppod_

Lights: in! 3D print stands incoming for all cubes save the Panasonic Q (see top left for what they’ll look like)! Then we’ll evaluate what actually goes in here (boxes etc) Gonna get a dimmer on the lights too, would like them to be about 10% less.

A little early before/after!!! Gonna get more stands for cubes like the above left & get some lights on here. Let’s go!!!

@lvluppod.bsky.social It's time! Let's get started.

Shootout to @caljones.com and @alsonamedjosh.bsky.social. started the Level Up! Podcast and I believe i am taking their advice and starting with the Ps2 for my retro collection. Looking forward to collecting! Any ps2 games you want to recommend for me to pick up?

Popped into my local used video game store today & saw that my idealized GameCube display solution (like, 1-1 to what I had in my brain & was going to pay someone to model for me) already exists!! It also happened to be attached to my Heineken GameCube lol. Time to GET PRINTING

im collecting every gamecube gane!
