LIVE NOW @ twitch.tv/bladeblur !

Hey there! Tomorrow 1/16 at 10pm EST/7PM PST I am going to be live for the 2nd @jankuary.bsky.social on twitch! I enjoyed the event a lot last year so this year I am tackling one of the most infamous games of all time: Hotel Mario for the CDi. Is it as bad people say? Tune in tomorrow to find out!

Always fun times at @dbpg.bsky.social 's podcast. These two are great at what they do and it is such a huge honor being an annual part of their show. Check them out!

4 games that defined my 2025.

Titanfall 2 is one of the best First Person Shooters I have ever played in my life. Vince has been responsible to many classics and he will be missed. My condolences to his friends and family. ❤️

I beat Metroid Prime 4 a couple nights ago. 100% items, it took 16 hours and change. It did weird things to my brain, and I needed to write about it. So enjoy this unplanned meditation on the fourth Metroid Prime game. Please repost and share it around :)

Tekken is my favorite fighting game franchise of all time, with Tekken 5 being in my top 10 games ever. Harada-san did so much for the franchise and it was a major honor seeing him in passing back in Comic-Con 2012. Wish him all the best in his new life chapter ❤️

Mortal Kombat was one of my favorite movies growing up. Cary Hiroyuki Tagawa's Shang Tsung is a major reason why the movie still holds up. It's even more amazing he returned to the role in Mortal Kombat 11 almost 25 years later. R.I.P Tagawa-san, and no matter what your soul is a part of all of us!

Happy 20th Xbox 360! Might as well bring a video I did for its 10th anniversary a decade ago. A lot of my choices are either changed or dated since some games have become multi-platform. Still besides not putting Amped 3 there or placing Lost Odyssey MUCH higher, I still have nostalgia for this vid.

If it is true, it will be 5 years since the supposed January 2021 of the original iteration of the remake.

I was expecting Kirby Air Riders to do so well critically, but the scores ended up more lukewarm than I thought. That being said, it's MUCH better than what the original received back in 2003. Not much of a comparison since we had 22 years of advancement in the medium but still. Food for thought.

My favorite part about the Game Awards nominees is finding out that Clair Obscur Expedition 33 is, in fact, an indie game. That means it is officially my favorite now and poor Balatro has been usurped in only a year.

I'm not a PC gamer, but when @nitrorad.bsky.social posted his Top 10 video from 2023, it made me want a Steam Deck. The appeal of playing the PC games and mods without fussing with hardware was an amazing prospect. I was never a handheld guy so the Steam Machine for me looks like a perfect solution.

Can't wait for the internet to blow a gasket over the casting of Brie Larson.

I don't post on my socials often anymore, but I wanted to give a special shoutout to #Expedition33. Not only I think it's a GOTY contender, it is one of the best games I have ever played. Days after beating it I still think about the emotional impact it had on me. Favorite RPG since FFX. A must own.

Here are 10 games to know me by! Honorable mentions: * Metal Gear Solid (any) * Guilty Gear X2 * Devil May Cry * Bayonetta * Metroid Zero Mission (or Prime) * Expedition 33 (IT IS SO GOOD) * Final Fantasy X * Ratchet & Clank Going Commando * Mario Party (2-7) * Rocket Knight Adventures

The Playstation 2 turned 25 yesterday. These 4 games are some of my favorite from that console.

Late by a day, but happy 25th PS2! 15 years ago I made this goofy little music video for class showcasing my collection at the time. It's still one of my favorite consoles and there is a reason why it is so beloved. Eternally classic! #ps2

Saros Crimson Desert NIOH 3!!!!! Wolverine Tekken 3 and Soul Calibur 3 coming to PS Classics 2025 has been the best year for state of plays and this one was absolutely stellar. 2026 looks amazing already.

My biggest question is whether or not we are going to get a PS5 physical edition. Considering the Switch 2 got one, I do hope we have at least one version of the game that is on physical media in a proper way.

Those click bait posts get weirder and weirder.

I'm super excited to present the first CRAWLMMUNITY SHOWCASE! This Direct-style presentation features over 22 games made by friends, mutuals, and members of The Crawlmmunity. We've got dungeon crawlers, action games, point-and-click adventures, TTRPGs, and more. CHECK IT OUT: youtu.be/UeDBJSJskvk

This probably was the best #stateofplay yet. The variety of games alone more than made up for the "one more thing" style of announcement. Sure having a new First Party announcement would've been amazing, but the amount of new games coming both this and next year is great! ALSO NIOH 3 BABY LET'S GO!

NEW VIDEO! As the GameCube is one of my favorite consoles of all time, I couldn't help myself but speculate what games we can see on Nintendo Switch Online! This is my first non-yearly top 10 list in a while so if you can like or share it I will greatly appreciate it ❤️! youtu.be/wbDQxNwUqFc

Congrats on 10k budbud! You all should check this video out!

Expedition 33 being a critical darling despite very little hype, makes me extremely happy. This year needed more Ws for sure.

10 Video Games to know me by: ⚔️ Sonic 3 & Knuckles ⚔️ Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil ⚔️ Earthworm Jim ⚔️ Resident Evil 4 ⚔️ Tekken 5 ⚔️ Skies of Arcadia ⚔️ Pokémon GSC ⚔️ Metroid Zero Mission ⚔️ Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater ⚔️ Crash Bandicoot 2: CSB One day I want to do a video of my favorite games. Top 100?

Finally done with FF7 Rebirth after 100 hours. Game is great, but I have never been so overwhelmed by a myriad of emotions. This game does a lot. Not all of it works, some even fail hard, but I applaud Square for throwing a bazillion darts and hoping some will stick. Also dated Tifa so 10/10.

Are MicroSD Express cards the new version of the Vita Memory Cards?

I had the honor having Alyssa make some of my emotes and she is wicked talented. If you wondered where the Shinx came from, it's all her! Reach out to her for any streaming needs!

Date yourself with a cartoon you watched as a kid

Finally got my Platinum Trophy in #Balatro. It was difficult still one of the best games I've ever played.

Inspired by @mylifeingaming.bsky.social and @dbpg.bsky.social. here are my 10 games to beat in 2025. Went with one game per console! Earthbound The Punisher Metroid Prime 3 Popful Mail StarFox 64 Beyond Oasis Batman Onimusha 2 Panzer Dragoon Jumping Flash

Tomorrow on #jankuary, playing Bubsy 2 for the first time after reviewing it 7 years ago. Find me on twitch at 8PM PST!

Good friend of mine, @alyssaferrarivo.com, made me several emotes before, but I wanted to give her the seal of approval. Little did I know I'd get one from her too! Definitely check her out for all your twitch needs!

Watch my buddy's new video!

Hey @victorlucas.bsky.social! I finally saw Last Crusade for the first time in my life yesterday. And I think it's a downright masterpiece and I totally see why you love this franchise so much, bumps and all. Now I need to get to Great Circle

6th time on this podcast talking about the games of 2024. And by that I mean mostly Balatro.🃏

Kind of upsetting when the dates of availability are right there and yet one of the versions sells out in a day. This is like the dark ages of LRG where you had to wake up at 7am and get one of 2000 copies of a Jak and Daxter CE. I do hope they manufacture some extras because this is a letdown.

What a wonderful way to celebrate the day! Happy Holidays everyone!

Little late but I always love defining as a connoisseur since I am into a lot of different video games. My top 5 were: 5. Baldur's Gate 3 4. Prince of Persia The Lost Crown 3. Lies of P 2. Final Fantasy XVI 1. Balatro Lots and Lots of hours of Balatro. Did I mention I like Balatro? Good.

Astro Bot win is all I needed

The #PS5Pro 30th Anniversary edition is an absolute beauty! This is #10915! As a Playstation fan dating back to 1996, owning this is a privilege! #PlayStation #Playstation30
