The last five months of my life…

I once saw this T-shirt at an airport and it angered my neurodivergent brain so much that I almost caused a scene at the gate. Unless that person was the infant child of an ILM employee this shirt is a literal impossible statement. I know I’m overthinking this…

Woke up this morning to the realization that karma still exists.

@maffewgregg.bsky.social Another idea that I'd had for years, but needed to be done now. (Apologies to Mr. Kubrick for cutting up his masterpiece)

Note to self: Take over local high school drama department and do a gender-swapped production of 1776. Change no lines, cut no songs.

Statement from VGHF director Frank Cifaldi on the discontinuation of physical PlayStation media, and the closure of the PS3 and PSP digital storefronts.

Just saw the new Jackass movie and I honestly believe this may be the best comedy franchise in existence. 5/5 films made me laugh out loud, and I can’t think of any other comedy series with 5 films or more that achieved that basic goal.

The Fango family is crushed to hear of the passing of George A. Romero Foundation founder and Fango contributor Suz Romero. Her tireless efforts to preserve the work of her late husband and to keep his independent spirit alive will endure. Our thoughts are with her family and friends.

One of the very cool things I can do with my Steam Deck is dock it to my TV, run a VPN, and watch the World Cup with Irish commentary because they have the weakest geoblocking.

I remember the grainy VHS I rented of DAY OF THE DEAD at Captain Video in Nebraska City, NE. This 4K is definitely a step up.

@andy.wrestlejoy.com despite the great rating, I take incredible joy in imagining Honky Tonk backstage in Memphis explaining why he can’t take a loss to the savior.

I booked a 4★ show, think you can book five stars? 4★ · STRONG SHOW 5starbooker.com/s/estUbkEjBaY 🤼

Cedar Point: worked next to Johnny Rockets where the staff would dance to Car Wash every 30 minutes. My estimate is I heard it 1000 times over that summer.

I loved playing this game and if you’re like me with a switch 2 and a physical copy on switch 1, give it a second look! The new cinematic looks beautiful in handheld boost mode.

When I got my NES my parents got me SMB3 and my sister the Barbie game, justifying the cost of the system by thinking we’d both play it. I ended up playing dozens of hours inside Barbie’s dreams.

21 years ago I saw Bright Eyes on the Digital Ash In A Digital Urn tour in Council Bluffs, just across the border from Omaha. Now I get to see them again, with a lot more facial hair and weaker knees. Really looking forward to screaming my heart out this evening.

As officially announced at #AEWDoN, we’re having a baby! Coming later this year!

Louis Armstrong Stadium features open ventilation from the outside despite having a roof. So it’ll be 60 F outside and maybe only a little warmer inside.

It's almost like college students see a collapsing job market due to AI and go "why should we like this shit?" AI has yet to better anyone who doesn't own shares in AI.

For the cost of a movie ticket you can experience one of my favorite coming-of-age tales in a long time. Don't skip this.

After finishing Mixtape this morning I just have to repost my most quoted line from South Park.

With this deal and the spring sale combined I just got $253 worth of games and DLC for $50.

Southland Tales is the only movie stupid enough to actually be prophetic about 2026

Tested a few Switch 1 games and yeah, this boost mode is really solid.

Boss let me take home an external hard drive from a defunct location we managed. Outside was completely unmarked so I had to pry it open... Folks, I hit the hard drive jackpot.

Seen a lot of discussion about the price and lack of NSO inclusion. Fact is, Nintendo has always made an effort to price classic games higher than their peers because they don't want people to think of them as disposable. (Rare thread incoming)

I'm on the record multiple times as saying this movie is far better than what you'd expect of a DTV threequel of a zombie comedy. It's awesome and tragic and you should go out of your way to see it.

I told myself I'd go to one big wrestling show this year. And that big show is only a train ride away!

It’s not just that the “Fuck ICE” chants happened. It’s that everyone involved - the performers, the commentators, production - seemed to make a collective decision in the moment to let it breathe and be the story of the moment. That was cool as hell.

WHAT DOES EMULATION LOOK LIKE IN 2026? This week @defunctgames.com & @mdomangue.bsky.social join to discuss Nintendo Classics and how it fits into the modern emulation scene. What are some features that you get on NSO that you can't elsewhere? Watch below or listen wherever you get your podcasts! ✨✨

Yeah, the guy who explained the percolator to me is here to talk about the perils of modern day fascism. This is a must watch for multiple reasons.

For a wide variety of reasons I'm not watching the Royal Rumble this year. Instead the wife and I are going to bake a king cake, get baked ourselves, and watch the 1998 Royal Rumble that I downloaded from a dark corner of the web.

You would think the kids who grew up in the shadow of Kent State would be even more sensitive to the abuses of federal agents on protesting civilians but what do I know?

100% complete without getting them wet.

Now I heard there was a tiny box Engraved with names like Minecraft Notch And Brian Fargo and FourZeroTwo, yeah But though it promised games for free And mobile ports on your TV It's a cold and it's a broken Founders' Ouya

Rebecca was one of the founders of Interplay and programmed & designed for some of the most influential games of my youth, notably Bard's Tale I & III and Wasteland. She will be missed.

Gave myself a gaming project this year. Beat all the mainline single-player Final Fantasy games I hadn't yet finished. This morning I beat FF13, finishing my goal. Now onto the two MMO's.

My mom tried everything to get me one for Christmas that year but under the tree was mostly bare since she budgeted for it but couldn't snag one until that summer. Truly a tragic moment for a young Michael.

My wife's response: How in the hell are you supposed to clean that?

Been working on sprucing up an old PS3 for the last week and realized I now have the ability to play the one Yakuza game released in the west I've never played before. Yakuza: Dead Souls, aka Zombie Yakuza. This one... might be a rough playthrough.

Monochrome Heights is available next week on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/2336210/...

Sadly this means the end of my game pass subscription. $30 split between three companies (Microsoft, Ubisoft, and EA) that I want to do less business with, not more. Next console cycle may be the first I skip since the NES.

@notthattomgreen.is.tired.fyi does some of my favorite wrestling commentary these days. Equal parts pure optimism and pure education. I'm always learning about new old wrestlers and factoids that I had never heard of before. Highly recommend giving him a shot.

Seemingly every fall my wife starts watching Gilmore Girls again and I start watching Deep Space Nine again. Now while I know everything about Luke and Lorelei, she doesn't know a thing about Garak and Bashir. I keep hoping to fix this discrepancy.
