My son and I were unable to get through season one, but we're willing to give season two a try. Our hope is for more Russells, fewer...well, insufferables. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CYe...

This surfaced from my mailbox on Godzilla Day. Is Shin Godzilla a top 5 entry? Maybe. It goes... 1. Godzilla Minus One 2. GMK 3. Mothra vs. Godzilla 4. Invasion of the Astro Monster ...then you've got about six movies battling for that #5 spot.

In which I implore the hipsters and youth to stop referring to records as "vinyls." Are you calling your books "papers" now, too? Your Switch 2 physical releases "denatonium benzoate-coated plastics?"

Counterpoint: #TronAres was not that bad, but the Nine Inch Nails soundtrack was. Bombastic and invasive, it didn’t enhance the action, it overpowered it.

Can we ban betting app ads? I’m not opposed to betting, I just think the commercials all suck.

Hey, @bigstirrecords.bsky.social, make sure the guys in Splitsville know that Naoko and Atsuko recognized their logo on my shirt at the #ShonenKnife concert in Cleveland on Thursday, and we talked a bit about their '97 Irving Plaza show in NYC. The best opening/main act pairing I've ever seen.

In answer to your questions, yes, it features my favorite #Switch2 game so far, Kunitsu-Gami, and yes, it features the Switch 2 game I'm most looking forward to (this year), Full Metal Schoolgirl.

My announcement of the day from yesterday’s #NintendoDirect. Unlike nearly every other game out there (besides Pikmin), Fatal Frame has no equivalent. That makes the gap between releases seem like forever.

In which I suggest a timely and enticing new tagline for #EASports.

Finally corrected an embarrassing gap in my LP collection.

In which I reveal how #Nintendo made me mad last week and which upcoming indie sequel stepped in to save the day.

8, because I prefer window and because the Young Bucks are li’l fellas, comparatively speaking.

My favorite song off what may be my favorite album of the year…and I’d never even been to Hutzlers!

In which my repressed memories of #DonkeyKong for the #Intellivision painfully resurface.

I hold a #Godzilla movie marathon about every other year, so I can opine with some authority that this is one of the five best Godzilla movies ever made. See it in August to determine whether you agree. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNox...

Can confirm that @spikechunsoftinc.bsky.social nailed it again. It was my first time reading The Somnium Files, and judging by my love for No Sleep for Kaname Date, I've got some catching up to do.

I don’t know if I ever laughed as hard at a movie as I did during this scene.

Give it a listen, everyone, and know if you dig it, the album gets even better.

No no no no. Thank YOU, @bigstirrecords.bsky.social! Splitsville has returned with what could be my favorite album of 2025. Power pop is alive and well…and not going to Hutzlers, I’ve learned.

Can confirm.

In which I liken Biker Waluigi to the sadly missed lead singer of a somewhat related British hard rock band.

You can't understand the joy this brings me. You just can't possibly understand.

Just put in an offer on a condo here…

Looking forward to putting this one on my Christmas wish list.

In which I learn they don’t play cornhole in Australia.

The character names alone are worth a double dip.

In which I gush further over The Hundred Line from @marveloususa.bsky.social and pine harder for the #FireEmblem games of yore.

In which I explain why some people are totally justified in their complaints about price, while others just need to shut up. I’m on the shut up side. You?

I preferred OK Go when they were a pop/rock band, not an advertising agency, but I'm happy to say their new album is easily their best since "Oh No." And their videos are as good as ever: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gz9B...

Honestly, the Negative Nancys can get bent. I'm still excited about the Switch 2, and this was a fun discussion on what it's bringing our way. Next week, we talk price. And spoiler alert? I'll still be excited.

I don't recall the original Xenoblade Chronicles X so accurately depicting the working conditions at @purenintendo.bsky.social.

Why is my Mii the only one who appears concerned about the giant Mii hovering hungrily behind us?

Everybody Happy, indeed! There has never been—and never will be—a more joyful band.

I was also hopeful at one time...but then Apple Arcade just started to feel like Apple Music; less about cleanly serving content to users and more about selling ad space to creators and publishers.

No one can ever accuse Nintendo of not being direct with their fans. They can slow down, though. How am I expected to play/review the games in my queue with all of these glorious interruptions?!

Hands up...who feels this should become a permanent display somewhere in my living room?

I feel like @purelytrev.bsky.social has played it enough for the both of us. I feel like he's also watched The Simpsons enough for the both of us. He's helpful that way.

Not me. I've played it on SNES, PS1, and DS... I still own the latter two. Chrono Trigger is something else, I only wish we could've talked about it more.

Thankfully, we know we can always trust Spike Chunsoft.

Ignore the bizarre choice of screen captures at the Nintendo eShop; Ever 17 - The Out of Infinity from @spikechunsoftinc.bsky.social is a sci-fi disaster flick in visual novel format. And it works wonderfully. Review at @purenintendo.bsky.social: purenintendo.com/review-ever-...

Today's mood for me and my fellow #Seahawks fans. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwj4...

Bad guys lost the Super Bowl, bad guys lost the Four Nations Tournament…things are looking up, sports fans!

...and Barkley, Treasure of Tarmin. Who are you to say whether such a game should or shouldn't exist?

Chris does a great job of gathering up some interesting Nintendo news and content you may have missed. Followed.

Made it all the way up to and through #SuperBowl weekend without a.) watching it, and b.) seeing any posts from people who want us to believe they're somehow too cool to know it's going on. Both wins for me! The Chiefs getting spanked in front of the class is just a bonus.

The devil FINALLY came to collect his due. I’d say sorry, #Chiefs, but you knew this day would come.

I can personally vouch for Natsu-Mon and Shiren the Wanderer. The others? Check in later.

Waking up to some wonderful news from #TheFratellis tomorrow, one hopes… www.thefratellis.com/blog/2025/1/...

My favorite #NintendoSwitch game of 2024. Top contender for my favorite Switch game period: purenintendo.com/review-unico...
