I finished Metroid Prime 4 and I was kind of not that pumped on the game overall. But it had some cool parts.

Nic Cage would have killed it as George Bailey

Merry Xmas 🫧 🎄

Iguana has been always pretty good about putting cool cheat codes into their games. Wanna give them a shout out.

At the very least, this moves the game/devs out of the GenAI Boycott Zone and into the 2min GenAI Penalty Box. Theres been a lot of posturing about the inevitability of GenAI in game dev, so seeing one of the critical darlings denounce it and their (naive) use of it is a net positive.

Behold: our gingerbread house

I love cheat codes

Happy Holiday season everyone! Please enjoy our Wiinter theme song made by the one and only @elmore.zone ❄️

Having some fun this Christmas Eve morning playing Forsaken 64. 🎄

The best podcasts are the ones where the hosts are in love with each other

I was lucky enough to come out of podcasting hibernation to guest on this episode and it was super fun just like Mario Kart Wii!

I really enjoy the Avatar movies

UPDATE: I just got off the phone with the bank, and to get my car back, I need to pay the entire remaining balance, which is a little over $5K. I feel awful asking for any more after how overwhelmingly powerful the response has been so far(!), but unfortunately we aren't quite out of the woods yet.

❄️ Wiinter is here! Mario Kart Wii with @arcadeghost.bsky.social flashback64pod.podbean.com/e/mario-kart...

Unlike CBS News, I’m not afraid of wading in politically uncomfortable waters.

In the meantime, if you're still looking for people in need, I know that @zumphry.com, @nat-the-dev.bsky.social, and @designer4hasand.bsky.social all have active fundraisers that could really use some support as well! 🙏

I don't think "hey Mexico, lucha libre sucked until WWE legitimized it" is a particularly good way to market AAA, to be honest.

I want to be friends with a whale

When our Diddy Kong Racing episode almost got in to The Great Ape War (With @dkvine.com and @merrittk.com ) 🦍🦧 flashback64pod.podbean.com/e/diddy-kong...

Andrew rules. If you can help out, please consider pitching in.

We yearn to return to Wuhu Island

It’s Wiinter ❄️

It’s Wiinter ❄️

Andrew is fucking awesome. If you can, please help to allow his family and him to continue being fucking awesome.

Went to this retro game store that had the Game Cube demo kiosk

I feel pretty confident that I will not play Expedition 33

A lot to unpack here

Please share some love and give Andrew a hand. 💙

Who coined "Metroidvania"? It wasn't @jparish.bsky.social, and he'll be the first to tell you. Besides, there are far more interesting questions, like: How did it spread? Evolve? And what's it got to do with rickrolling? Watch til the end for a post-credits sting. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8set...

Podcast guest, book contributor, and friend, Andrew and family could use some support if you can spare it. A truly smart and creative person with an amazing resume, if you have a need for his skills!

McKenna is so good at KI
