Fighting games and fighting game events are so fricking cool, man.

Getting rocking and/or rolling for this weekend! See you either at the event or watching online but I better see you!

"Why was I banned for crashing out?! I'm not crashing out!! I'm not crashing out at all!!!!!" said the bird before the slurs began.

Who the heck decided to play bass for my friend's band the week of running a regional fighting game tournament? Oh, I did! Had a blast and did a vocal cover of "Deadly Sinners" by 3 Inches of Blood for them too! Learned the secret to doing the vocals on that song was to pretend you're a muppet.

I'm either hot or cold on Tales of games, but I *loved* Tales of Berseria. Not sure if I'm personally up for a remaster since I felt like I played it recently but neat!

There are five types of lights online. No exceptions.

We totally shouldn't worry that that in the last three weeks we have had major cornerstones of the modern internet have massive multi-hour issues. Everything is fine! Fine is everything. Please use this sexy anime AI assistant for more information.

Can't believe Jethro Tull is going to win Best Fighting Game at the Game Awards 2025. Can they be stopped??!?!?!

I still feel a little bit of glee whenever in my normal day to day I see a friend's name in the credits doing cool stuff. Like hell yeah, we're all doing cool stuff and it keeps happening.

If you are going to Knox-Out and want to commentate, please hit me up! We are missing commentators on a few games to help make our list complete (Good opportunity for 2XKO comms, especially if you're in or near East Tennessee! BBCF, XRD and +R are also needed) www.start.gg/tournament/k...

🥊STRAP ON THOSE GLOVES🥊 THE KNOX-OUT SCHEDULE IS HERE!!! 🔥 Here's the where and when about all of the events while you're at KO25! We've got one or two more surprises in the works, but here's how you can prep for YOUR #KnoxOut25 weekend NOW! 🥊 ⬇️REGISTER DOWN BELOW⬇️

Quick nonsensical anime reviews that don't really do much other than amuse me (Maybe more thoughts in alt text.) - This Monster Wants To Eat Me: Finally, Depression has a harem. Also, monsters prefer protagonist blood in a blind taste test!

Using a t-shirt cannon to launch pokeballs at my opponents until they run away crying.

Why am I hearing an ice cream truck jingle in November?! Better question: where is it so I can give it money?!

My favorite video game is "Announcement that states GTA6 being pushed back another six months." Lots of replay value in an asynchronous multiplayer environment where you can really feel other publishers experiencing fear of their current release schedule.

Sharing the NESBOOK Kickstarter helps me and @nintymedia.bsky.social out one hell of a lot! I know I've been spamming it but we're SO CLOSE! www.kickstarter.com/projects/nin...

Bass Pro Shmup

FROM MASHER TO MASTER 2 IS OUT! If you want to get into fighting games but don't know where to begin, this book will guide your journey. Featuring art by @koh.money and a foreword by Gerald Lee of Core-A Gaming! patrickmiller.itch.io/from-masher-...

Today I showed Restraint* * I did not buy the $15 Shaq Fu cart I found in the Dreamhack dealer hall.

i suddenly have more respect for dreamhack knowing it invited international players of the highest caliber in countless numbers to experience and compete through fuckin daylight savings time

Mother said I should round start super.

We are SO back. Balloon to everyone!

Work has mandated that all hybrid workers return to the office by a certain time. I'm fully remote and not affected yet but judging by the claim for "in-person collaboration" over and over again during the call, I can read between the lines. Guess I'm saving a little extra.

"Oh, Act II of The Protomen wasn't *that* long ag--" (2009)

VDL Preview: Helicopters could be the new Wizard Vans.

Overall pretty happy with how my commentary went over the weekend. I feel like I'm doing way better at getting my thoughts across and not stammering too much when I'm trying to find the right word. Improvements!

Today's kind of been a crap day, so MiSTer having an "attract mode" screensaver that I can look at to see a random game playing throughout the day has been a shining light. Even if it's showing me Wing Commander II like five times so far (I do like Wing Commander II. Just not as much as my MiSTer.)

"Oh, this might be a good day for me to go grab some lunch outside and enjoy the momen--" "Azure is down." [Sighs, goes to microwave some popcorn for the entertainment at least.]

🥊VISIT KNOX POT BONUS: ROUND 2!🥊 THREE of our FOUR headliner titles have hit the @visitknoxsports pot bonus goals!...but why stop there?? ROUND 2: START! If ya'll are in, so is #Knoxout25 💪 Double those fighters and we'll DOUBLE that pot. See you in the Ring 🫵

* Tries to give the hypest goddamn intro I can for a Top 8. * Was muted the entire time due to a snafu. So it goes!

Climax of Night is a special event for me & I'm so happy I got to be on top 8 comms for every year of Melty Blood Type Lumina. Thank you for letting me help tell the story and I hope you all enjoyed it. Much love to @nightsclimax.bsky.social and every person I saw this weekend

Happiness is an arcade + anime karaoke room.

Meanwhile, my shirt is Melty Blood characters fighting outside Atlanta's Magic City.

Bought another Shaq Fu for good luck

Happy to announce I will be on commentary at Climax of Night: F! One last ride for Melty Blood Type Lumina for Pools w/ Salté Boi and Top 8 w/ @thatkirbo.bsky.social! Can't wait to see everyone go all out. Shout out and love to @nightsclimax.bsky.social for believing in me from the start.

Just asked if we could set up the boxing rings like WCW's World War 3 for Knox-Out and I think I'm about to beaten with hammers.

Was trying to make sure I wasn't mis-remembering Chewbacca being selectable in Super Star Wars for the SNES and Google's AI Overview is, uh, trying *something* My search was "Chewie Super Star Wars" by the way.

"This game is a retro tribute to the boomer shooter genre heavily based on Wolfenstein!" BRO WHY IS IT 18 GBS?! That's 35 times the hard drive of the computer I would have played stuff like this on!

Learned it's been 10 years since the Redub of Evangelion, a redub of the English (ADV) 1st ep of Neon Genesis Evangelion using my voice and a kazoo. I had a retrospective written, but bsky messed it up. Have a link to the one place the Studio has not removed the link. www.twitch.tv/videos/92622...

Made a streamer so mad in Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising with my Day 1 Meg that they went on a 5 minute rant about how I should not exist as a person for winning a set with a random DP. They proceeded to try to calm down by playing Marvel Rivals. Anyway, guess I'm doing okay on that character!

Aaron presented a philosophical question to me at the start of the show and I immediately knew humanity would cheat the shit out of that system like Kirk eyeing the Kobayashi Maru.

Dead or Alive 2 on the Dreamcast is probably the first fighting game I tried to "git gud" at, mostly to annoy friends in high school. Got to a point where I was not allowed to play Helena with her stance mixups anymore so I would learn everyone else one by one. Sad to see Itagaki's passing.

I don't understand why the council would reject my thesis entitled "The Great and Powerful Oz: Our First VTuber"

Kain: Highwind I CAN'T SEE SHIT

"ZANGIEF IS LORD AND IT'S TIME TO ATTACK!" GRABBBBBBSS. BLOODY GRABS. This actually rules. I'd open a circle pit to this. youtube.com/watch?v=qso9...

The Fighting Game Favorites meme was hitting the local discord pretty hard so I decided it was time to MSPaint it up.

Didn't realize how hard the PC Engine version of Double Dragon II goes in on its intro screen compared to the NES.
