The fact i can’t look at any of these and immediately tell it was drawn by a child is telling for both how no one under the age of 30 plays Mega Man but also how this contest blurs the line between amateur fans and professional character designers capcom doesn’t have to pay in ways that feel gross.

Just rolled credits so here’s 2026’s first time played / finished list. 1. Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles

Single handedly won the incentive to get Bahamut named Babygirl. #AGDQ2026 #FinalFantasyX

When I first saw Miles Mackenzie, I can't say I wasn't offput, but the divisive response to him really blew me away. So I wanted to write about how each game in the Metroid series treats the people and things Samus encounters, and how over time she's engaged with them more and more.

The Wisconsin Badgers football team can barely buy a touchdown but if you play them ranked #21 to #25 WATCH OUT

i made my own dorktown chart

Currently my experience with Hades 2 is beating Chronos without breaking a sweat but getting absolutely demolished on the last two bosses when I try to run Olympus.

Ok, bet. Where are you collecting the tariff? Virtually every film nowadays is digitally downloaded and can be copied infinitely so how do you put a number value on a film’s import and how much do you collect?

The Milwaukee Brewers the final 2 weeks of the season

I am going to be so annoying about this I swear youtu.be/8KG9kEUxNOA?...

Staying in Madison for the week since my sister’s dog had surgery and needs looking after during the day, so if any of my Madison friends want to hang out, let me know.

Would be nice if the practical result of calling it the “department of war” again is politicians start getting blasted by the public whenever they voice support for increasing the budget for “war.” The change to “defense” was always a PR move because, and this is true, people tend to not like “war.”

Back in June, I decided that I wanted to watch the new Gundam GQuuuuuuX tv show that aired this year, and after 3 months, 140 TV episodes, 7 OVA episodes and a movie, I have finally watched the first episode of Gundam GQuuuuuuX.

You know the problem with MLB expansion and realignment? No one is thinking big enough.

i’m excited for this with no doubts as this is the first time i’ve seen a wisconsin sports team trade away a longtime fan favorite for a league-wide superstar in a blockbuster deal ever

they’d never do this to wordpad

A few years ago I wrote down an "Inevitable VR Timeline" in my phone. Well enough of the events I predicted have come to pass and I've only really told one person it before, so I figured I'd better write it down in public so I can call my shot.

I’ve watched all of the first 3 Gundam series in 3 months and I have thoughts: 1.) Each series is progressively worse; 2.) Kai Shiden has never done anything wrong in his life; 3.) Tomino in the 80s has Thoughts On Women; 4.) Will someone please lock up the Gundam’s keys so kids stop stealing them?

Not bee ninety three point three and eff emm one oh two one comma sounds different !!?!

A general Nintendo Direct in September hasn’t been more than 8 days before Tokyo Game Show ever. So unless it’s not a general direct, no one should be surprised when it’s Sep 17 or 18.

Wrote something I've been mulling over for almost a year now, where it feels like the next console war is going to be over operating systems, not devices.

Listened to a podcast where one of the hosts‬ said "handheld games are dead" and I had so many thoughts that a blog came out of it.

watching 3 gundam series in a row in 3 months has been paying off in that i have understood at least 2 jokes that i wouldn’t have otherwise

All right I think I've cracked the MLB expansion and realignment nut. We simply need 30 more teams.

idk if i can handle this

There’s a lot of baseball traditionalists who don’t want the game to change at all just because. I do honestly think realigning to focus on more regional rivalries is a good thing for baseball, actually. I remember putting this together a few years ago:

45 minutes is hilarious. Sakurai cannot be stopped. He cannot even be contained.

So Chibi Robo was one of the few games to use the GameCube microphone accessory. Someone needs to ask Nintendo if it’s compatible with the Switch 2 microphone

I know in my heart i won’t go to a george webb again but getting multiple chances of free burgers in one season is truly spectacular

Return it to the Lake

It doesn’t run well on PS5 but Wheel World is a game that understands that biking is inherently a fun thing to do. More games should have bicycling. Give Link a bike in the next Zelda.

Forgot koppa’s fullbeli deli was under new ownership and it’s like a whole new store in there. Modern payment processor, shelves are stocked. So happy to have that back to full strength in the neighborhood.

“Surely SonicFox won’t be able to find their way out of THIS one,” I say, excited to see SonicFox find their way out of another one.

Square Enix has a generational bad name to game i want to play ratio

Forgot to post these yesterday but I finally found myself down in bay view so I checked out the new huge apartment development on 1st and Becher. It’ll have a mixed use path down the middle, though not cool as a KK river trail extension would have been.

ANDREW VAUGHN IS A MENACE

Whoever buys it has a public obligation to drive it back into the beach immediately upon acquisition

“Wrigley Field North” this “Wrigley Field North” that Fun Fact: #Brewers have a winning record against the cubs at both locations

Sad. I will now have to continue not knowing where the nearest george webb is

Publishers are going to have to learn just how few games consumers will consider being worth the extra $10.

Worth noting that a good number of corporations include “don’t join a Teams meeting while driving” as part of company policy due to liability concerns lol

I’ll take it a step further: stop asking for sequels. Games and series don’t stop existing just because they’re not making sequels to them. If a bunch of indies pop up inspired by an old game, that doesn’t mean they should make a sequel, it means you have a cool old game AND a ton of cool new games!

Also, remake culture highlights the weird "art vs product" aspect of the medium. The need to remake or "fix" games subtly implies that only a game's written/cinematically presented plot holds ageless artistic relevance, and that gameplay and visuals are merely entertainment products. That sucks!

The pressure on young Jacob Misiorowski continues to mount; a win tonight would secure the best record through 101 games in franchise history and free cheeseburgers from a George Webb for a beleaguered fan base, hungry for both a championship and mediocre burgers from a greasy diner chain.

Finished zeta gundam, and feel like the original show’s more sporadic messiness just took over the sequel series. I don’t think it does a good job conveying the motivations or thought processes behind a bunch of characters’ actions, and when it does it can be really ridiculous or even offensive

Wednesday's legislation signing ceremony was a celebration of Housing Element/Growing MKE, a remembrance of Jonathan Brostoff. urbanmilwaukee.com/2025/07/16/m...

SGDQ reached $2 million!

Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA — 2025

Watching the Synchronica run at SGDQ and suddenly bolting up in my seat breathlessly mumbling “we need to make an Elite Beat Agents arcade machine”

In Minneapolis for SGDQ
