Remember when Stranger Things S4 pivoted to a random new bad guy that was *really* behind everything and redid S1? Haha, anyway, here’s to S5 most assuredly sticking the landing

The people must remember Shaolin Soccer! Don’t let it fade from our collective unconscious!!

I think Puss in Boots: the Last Wish might have been the best movie this last decade?

I worked for Starbucks for three and a half years. One of the other employees there previously worked at a Target Starbucks You couldn’t pay me to drink something from one after the horror stories she told us

No shade to this person I know nothing about but I want to spontaneously combust until I am as burnt as this peanut

Gabe ain’t playing no damn basketball

If I make a Lumines Arise video, it’ll be an interesting tightrope to walk I think it’s a better *game* than TE and Humanity— but those were better *experiences* with more to say about the human condition

Kingdom Hearts Makes Sense Actually: A Thirteen Hour Primer

I think the original SotC looked better… Blurrier? Sure. Less polygons? Definitely But it was unique and full of life

Happy Sunday!

Maybe Astro Bot’s not the most innovative platformer But those secret levels really do slap

Lumines Arise will either save humanity… Or end it

BEARS!

(spending 9 billion dollars to make a robot say "i have always loved you") hard times create strong men

Finished journey mode Great game, loved it, I *don’t* think it’s quite the holistic experience Tetris Effect was and, yes, the music’s not as good Connected > Only Human

Sony, you killed the game after two weeks and now you’re going after people running a private server? Ghouls www.eurogamer.net/sony-slaps-d...

The jungle rap level was awesome, c’mon, guys

Oh man, the little avatars in Lumines Arise are called Loomiis Like Lumi, their made up front singer from Genki Rockets who was born on the ISS on 9/11 in the future and made a pop song so uplifting they sent her back to our time I’m not making that up, that’s the level of cheese we’re on!

Can we get a TotK SotC mod? Remove every single NPC from the map except the bosses Forbidden Lands

happy slightly belated 22nd birthday to one of the best movies ever made

I don’t wanna be that guy but— Does Gen Z really not know what to do with cash? Had to tell them the amount I was owed while they looked like a deer in the headlights. This has not been the first time I had to do it

Damn, I completely forgot Blue Prince came out this year That’d be neck and neck with Silksong for GOTY

LFGOOOOOOOOOOO! Genuinely curious to see what I think of the OST

Wonder if Dispatch is actually good like how people tell me the first Tales from the Borderlands is good (I disagree)

Samus saved that baby Metroid because she was trying to grab the bag You know how much money that thing would’ve pulled in before Super Metroid retconned it??

Question: do games that tell strong stories unique to games have the same timelessness as a good book/movie? Think about how you can never play Papers Please or Outer Wilds for the first time again Does their staggering narrative power diminish somewhat the second time around?

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

A bit presumptuous of Hades after I beat it to then tell me to do it at least five more times

Ever unlist a video for quality reasons only to mutter under your breath ‘fuck ‘em if they can’t handle it’ and relist?

NEW VIDEO! At the start of the year, I watched a GDQ run of Elden Ring Bingo by streamers Captain Domo and Adef that was so enthralling that I made a whole video about it. Let's talk about the run, Rocket League, and why such cool things emerge from genre combinations that really shouldn't work!

Anyway, back to listening to Noah

Friendly reminder that Metroid Fusion is an all timer despite having a truly truly rancid story. God tier awful but I would replay it in a heartbeat

My hot take is Metroid Prime 3 was the weakest one mainly because of the extra characters and segmented worlds So I never had that high of expectations for MP4. If it meets them? Cool! If it doesn’t, life goes on

Death of the Author: An Alan Wake Series Retrospective youtu.be/RRh3r_AhUw0

Anyone else realize this happened? www.cnbc.com/amp/2025/11/...

Half sure my Void Stranger video blew up because I opened it with ‘I don’t believe in story spoilers’ The other half because the thumbnail had anime boobs Stupid platform

Super SUPER small nitpick here but right off the bat the hosts argue that his name isn’t Wander and her name isn’t Mono because the game never explicitly says it Um…they’re both in the manual. It’s not like how the community named him ‘Jacket’ youtu.be/BPUDL12AykM

This’ll basically be my thesis for a Lumines Arise video Pop cringe universal truth

Great video that really highlights an issue with games writing: Gender is usually just a cosmetic toggle that doesn't actually change anything. Although screaming morons online still somehow get angry about it. But Persona 3 Portable went all-in on having femininity change the whole tone of it.

…were there really not better games this generation than these two…?

When Trump sleeps, he dreams about work so that’s an extra 16 hours right there

Getting close to the point I won’t watch this show anymore. There’s no hope for these parents, the goal posts are moving ever further as shit gets worse youtu.be/7ryZPbh2AK0?...

Not the best game ever but definitely one of the more interesting on the 3DS

The Republican president is a pedophile who has doubled my healthcare costs and let scores of violent criminals out of jail. But a Democratic mayor-elect wants to make busses free in a city I don't live in. I have never felt more politically homeless.

DIGGERGUN’s good! Got to spend about 30 minutes this morning and I want more!

Hope Pat Rothfuss is doing okay Not even about Book 3, I just hope he’s alright

Thinking I might just make an indie round up for all the games that have been given to me Doesn’t feel right *not* to pay it forward

Jon Blow and The Witness

I schlepped my whole PS2 to a friend’s (other) college dorm just to show them SotC Next time I visited, they had bought a PS2 just to keep playing SotC There is no other game like SotC podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...

Epstein had terrible punctuation
