About the hit the Houston Arcade Expo Arcade (it’s massive!!) and Bow Wow Wow concert! Going Classic this weekend, Growing Up Genesis panel at 6:30 PM tomorrow!!

I think I’m just going to go “Classic Mode” for the Houston Arcade Expo this weekend. I’m feeling being low-key and chilled is the best option right now. Although if I learned anything at Sonic Expo is that people definitely asks where is the hair if I don’t have it on 🤣☺️

I know one of my content plans in 2026 is to get back to my retro gaming roots on YouTube, and that includes watching many channels I loved when I was more active there. Watching a few of them def makes me smile that they haven’t stopped. Hoping my viewers will be like Agent Stone when I do return.

One of larger game shopping regrets was when a few years ago I could have gotten an Xbox 360 Logitech Guitar Hero Pro Guitar for under $100. Someday I’ll own this beautiful fret. 😔

One of my favorite pics from Sonic Expo. An emotional support Silver in a time of need~ 🩶

I hear the weather at Sonic Expo is gonna be just lovely~ 😊

Nope. Cause I stand on retro being a style and feel, not a timestamp. I’ll never consider Call of Duty Modern Warfare retro. Outdated, yes. Retro, no. IMO I can’t stand when people use a timestamp as retro cause often it’s used as an act of authority on the matter or to gatekeep (not you).

It was a way past cool cooking stream! Thank you for your help, VoX. 💙

Hey all, I'm delaying Growing Up Genesis streams to next week so I can work on Sonic Expo prep tonight, stuff to make some extra $$, and be ready for the BIG Sonic Rumble Launch stream on Wednesday. I appreciate y'all. Just trying to stay above water, but spoons are low & free time is air-tight rn.

This is so Midway. 😮

PSA to All: Please don’t forget to take batteries out of devices you’re not using for long periods! This Rock Band 3 Pro Fender Mustang Guitar controller is dead now cause the battery terminal rusted and broke off. Welp, there goes $100. And 2025 rolls on. 😔

Mail days remain undefeated. Thanks @gtothenextlevel.com for this, I’ve been looking for a copy for some time!

SENNA FOREVER 🏎️🏁 As part of the celebration of an incredible story, a replica of the legendary 1993 trophy lifted by Ayrton Senna will be available at our booth during the Interlagos Grand Prix, check out the creation process! 🏆 Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is available now: RaceCrossWorlds.com

Gonna be spending the next few days deep in my editing hole and prepping for Sonic Expo Dallas so no stream until Saturday. But Saturday… Who’s ready for the Sonic Cooking Stream!? I’ll be dishing deets the next few days (including the “Menu”) so keep your eyes open!

Spells Collide with Shells in EA's TechnoClash, in tonight's Growing Up Genesis A-Z! It's an... interesting one for sure. ⚔️🤖 twitch.tv/gtothenextle... 🟣🟣

Anyone wanna buy a $35 GameStop Trade Credit card? I won’t be using it.

I appreciate everyone's patience with me lately. I've been trying to stay afloat and high-spirited while under a lot of pressure. Thankfully, the car situation may be salvageable, but also may not be worth salvaging? I may have a buyer but that's a big loss... I have the worst luck with cars.

"T" has some... choice games for Growing Up Genesis, huh? Tonight it's Disney's TaleSpin, anime mechas, shmuppin' and ... Technocop... ;_; let’s do it. 😬 🟣 twitch.tv/gtothenextle... 🟣

The games in the letter "T" are kinda *wild* for the Growing Up Genesis A-Z. Well, at least it'll be good to see Baloo... right?? 😅 🟣 Starting at 4 PM Central tonight, see you there! 🟣

Y'all don't know how happy this makes me. And of course Edia still doing good work.

Today's Longbox is the Sonic Halloween Special! ...more like Knuckles' Chaotix Halloween Special, but still... youtu.be/bJYq3u1wtrg

*insert angy Taz noises* 🌪️ twitch.tv/gtothenextle... 🟣

Looking at my Growing Up Genesis -Z calendar for this week and seeing that Technocop & Technoclash are looming near I am not okay 😬

A thread def worth reading. The few YouTube videos I made where I mentioned when I had a Patreon got me backhanded comments similar to this. If only people like this understood all the time & work that goes into researched/edited videos. Asking for a bit of $ help shouldn't be hated on.

Less than 10 Minutes till the Sega Stream Team Panel at Sonic Revolution Online! Jump on in and ask us a question about streaming, what Sega means to us, and more~ 👇

SURPRISE! I’m actually going to be in the Sonic Collectors Panel in the Sonic Revolution Online’s Discord panel room in 20 minutes! Let’s chat about Sonic Collecting~ 👇

It's not pretend if it's who you are. 💫

I’ll be returning to stream Sunday, fam~ But *tomorrow* I’ll be in @sonicrevolt.bsky.social‘s Sega Stream Team Panel w/ these awesome Sega creators. 6PM Central on Twitch or Discord! @voidfeline.vtubers.social @calliemacn.bsky.social @synfritz.bsky.social @paulybfromda303.newgrounds.com & more!

Every time you get the urge to buy a new Microsoft product, first ask yourself "Will this be as good as Jet Set Radio Future"? And if the answer is no, as it inevitably will be, you should leave it on the shelf and go play Jet Set Radio Future instead.

As I sit waiting for AT&T to replace our router, I’m just… blank with all thats happened. Like it’s almost absurd. I think I need another day to process all this cause right now I’m in no state to be social. Sorry y’all. I don’t think I’m being overdramatic in saying this has been the worst year. 💔
