Here are my thoughts on #Mother3 as featured on @caneandrinse.com. Seeing how I never played Earthbound (Mother2) or Earthbound Beginnings (Mother1) this is a strange place for me to start. I'm sure I didn't get a lot of the references. But overall I still enjoyed this game through completion.

I really enjoyed this, guys. Defender (Planetoid on the BBC Micro) was one of the first STGs I ever played, so the conversation brought back a lot of memories ☺️. Good stuff guys ✌🏿.

Being on a podcast with something of a childhood hero (and a Mean Yob iykyk) such as @jazrignall.bsky.social to talk classic arcade games is a moment that will be hard to top this year, for me.

Always worth listening to, but this was an especially great one!

Quite a moment for me to have Jaz on the podcast.

We can't get every prediction right. 😄

Had a lot of fun on this podcast talking about one of my all-time favorite games that I also just happened to be a bit tasty at playing.

I loved your @caneandrinse.com ep about Minishoot‘ Adventures and plan to pickup the Switch version!

New podcast: Defender @jazrignall.bsky.social joins us as special guest for this 45th anniversary celebration of Williams’ Defender (and its sequel Stargate). Leon, Chris W, Michiel and Jaz relive this most intense arcade experience. Out now for free on podcast feeds, Spotify, YouTube etc.

Oh joy of joys, my favourite game of 2025 is out on consoles! Minishoot' Adventures is a game I strongly recommend people play. Here's the link to the Cane and Rinse podcast that I hosted last year: caneandrinse.com/minishoot-ad...

And this time I'm posting closer to episode release: My thoughts on the wonderful little Gameboy title: #WarioLand aka #SuperMarioLand3 as feat. on @caneandrinse.com. Playing the previous title's boss as the protagonist of this game. Also, WHAT IS with Wario's face in this and the previous game???

My feedback for #BalanWonderworld on @caneandrinse.com. I really wanted to like this game. Cutesy 3d platformer game… but with no jump button? It was made too simple with only a one button control scheme and became highly repetitive. It just wasn’t that fun. I was definitely disappointed.
