🎮 New Video is Live! 🎮 I share my 2025 gaming stats and reveal my 2026 Backlog goals! These goals were created to help curb decision paralysis and to get me to play a wider variety of games. Tune in below to hear all about it! LINK: youtu.be/ReDHfmSNcVk

YouTubes top priority should be adding a curiosity-satisfying feature that tells me which videos from my Watch Later queue got hidden

Top tier GOTY content

It's that time, end of the year time, new year new me time, but first, let's look back on the year in gaming in 2025! I created a top 10 list out of your votes, then gave my own top 10. Hope you enjoy! LISTEN: talesfromthebacklog.fireside.fm/2025inreview WATCH: youtu.be/yMhvDL-F7v0

There were at LEAST ten great video games this year, and I can prove it youtu.be/SUg84IJqTFE

Probably my favorite episode all year, and it just so happens to be our longest ever at over 4 hours. Happy New Years!

I spent 20 in hours in World of Final Fantasy complaining that the encounter rate was too high... only to learn that I was wearing the "increase encounter rate" accessory

We're all doing what we can to spread cheer around the holidays, and arguably no game does that quite as well as Astro Bot. @stillloadingpodcast.com joins me for a deep dive. As always, no spoilers for a while- enjoy! LISTEN: talesfromthebacklog.fireside.fm/197 WATCH: youtu.be/KbtAJL4OP-g

Tons of great 2025 releases in this one sourced form a very smart group of people, plus you can hear all about my favorite games of the year as well!

Excited to launch the patron GOTY vote for 2025. It's gonna be super competitive, and I *really* don't know which way things will break. Patrons of any tier can vote, and there'll be an episode before Christmas to announce the results! patreon.com/posts/145373423

I spend most of my time on this episode convincing you not to play one of my favorite games from this year

Always nice to remember the good times

tetsuya mizuguchi truly, earnestly believes, with his whole heart and whole mind, that generic vocal trance from 2003 has the power to awaken humanity's shared consciousness and guide us to universal peace. The strength of his conviction is so powerful that it might actually cause this to be true

Tonight I'm gonna dust off the ol stream and share the details of my Japan trip! Will share pics and videos of the places we went and of course share the games I picked up.

Is Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 considered an "indie game"? As in, would it belong on @indiequestpod.com's Quest Log?

My big hitters

On the latest episode of IndieQuest, we took it easy and listened to some community submitted songs from #indiegames! We discovered new games in the process! Come hang out! Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e... Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/1dVe... YouTube: youtu.be/9-STYs8PlqE?...

The easiest way to get a 2x multiplier on your mental health is just grab like 10 things from your home and sell/donate/toss them. Feels so good to just get rid of stuff.

Imagine getting both of these games at the same time. A bounty of riches

Alright, let's see how big this gets! ❤️ 1 Like = 1 Video Game Book 📚

Back in the States and man, what a great time. The trip was an all timer. Loved every second of it

Toddlers are kinda famous for getting obsessed with a song, but you assume it'll be one of the obvious ones. Baby Shark, Twinkle Twinkle, etc. But nope! This is the song that my two year old demands on repeat. He's apparently already processing his email job angst youtu.be/Hw4tlI-PuVA?...

@polymedianetwork.bsky.social, the podcast network that IndieQuest and PK belong to, is doing a 24 hr charity stream for Doctors Without Borders. I'm live right now for 2 hours of No One Can Stop Mr Domino, a game I have never played before! Come hang out and donate! www.twitch.tv/polymedianet...

New purity ring dropping just in time for those crisp late autumn nights. That's the good stuff

Biggest example of this in my life was when I discovered, well into my late teens, that Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres are so named because they count up uno, dos, tres.

Free to run around all day! Free to do it all my way!

I love Silksong a lot. But it's full of stuff that bugs me. I wrote about punishing games, the nature of being a "game pervert" and how personal friction can be for @aftermath.site aftermath.site/silksong-pro...

Once every few months I play Rock Band and remember that every other game is just how you kill time while waiting for the next time you can play Rock Band

Tomorrow a NEW Hot Shots Golf game releases on PS5, Switch and PC. Truly one of my favorite series dating back to the PS2. ICYMI, be sure to check out my video below where I share memories of the series and recommend the best games! #HotShotsGolf ⛳️ LINK: youtu.be/uSJCOGXXCM0?...

Can't believe something could kill Silksong's momentum in the 11th hour like this

Some of my favorite episodes. Just put up your feet and vibe to some of the best music in gaming

I might be like 13 years late on this but the Asura's Wrath DLC is really good

That's Dragon Quest VIII in the bag! After two different false starts on this one, I've finally seen it through to the end. Unsurprisingly, it captures all the magic and casual playfulness of the series perfectly. It's not my top top tier DQ game, but it's certainly standing on the podium. A+ game

If you like time trial racers, Phantom Spark is a great time

John was, as you would anticipate, an amazing guest! Plus he brought a game that I've been itching to talk about for a long time, so it's a win win. Great episode, fun times, hope you all enjoy!

After 18 amazing years, I had to say goodbye to my buddy Nero. He was an all-timer cat with a bottomless pool of love to give. A true bright spot that's been with me for almost half my life, but it was his time. Be sure to hug your pets often, cause these things happen slowly then all at once.

Last five GOTYs: 2020: 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim 2021: Chicory: A Colorful Tale 2022: Tunic 2023: Daily Observer 2024: Animal Well (my playtime over the last year suggests this probably should have been Balatro)

Minnesota kinda rules

My only real complaint with Mario Kart World is that it is not Donkey Kong Bananza

Well that was 250 hours well spent

Really fun episode! Come listen to a great list of games broken down by a great list of dudes
