I’ve seen a lot of things, but I’ve never seen Dr. Dude’s haircut recreated in the real world.

🎼To save our Mother Earth from any alien attack From vicious giant insects who have once again come back We’ll unleash all our forces, we won’t cut them any slack Yodobashi Yodobashi Cam-er-a🎶

It never dawned on me until now that Capcom’s Fighters Edge logo was possibly just using some slightly modified clip art.

Even as the console seems to be circling the drain, Microsoft would get an instant purchase of a Series X out of me if they gave it full and region free 360 BC. My 360 imports have been languishing on a shelf since my Japanese 360 died.

Layer Section for Saturn is probably one of the best shooters on the system, and remains affordable even after The Great Saturn Land Rush. Every time I play it, I’m happy I took that guy on AtariAge up on his bundle offer in 2009.

Now that I’m back home, I can safely say that the UK has some of the best availability when it comes to old guy music on CDs in the modern era. I was able to fill in some gaps in my collection relatively affordably, which is nice.

Subtly downgrade a band Dagwood

Let’s give more candy bars sequels.

I’m watching this game show in my hotel room. It’s called Tipping Point, and it’s pretty much just a quiz show with a coin pusher element. Honestly, it’s decently compelling in a hotel room kind of way.

Heartbreaking: A product you genuinely enjoy has appeared as a YouTube sponsorship.

Here is some non-satire for you: Trans rights forever.

I will forever buy Arcade Archives games whenever on sale. Usually it’s a fun exploration of an obscure title. Occasionally it’s bafflement at an arcade game’s control scheme. Looking at you, The Tin Star.

Last night I had a dream that I came across a bootleg Ms Pac Man cabinet that played the intro sample from Groove Is in the Heart when you started a game. Honestly, it was pretty natural fit.

2004: Man, I hope someday I can have a copy of Snatcher. Then I’d be a real collector! 2025: Bootleg SG-1000s? Where are they. I will immediately start walking in their direction. With a Soggy-1000, it is impossible to be a Man of Constant Sorrow.

I’ve never been actively into a trading card game, but this Gundam TCG may pose an active threat to my wallet. If we get new art of obscure characters and suits, I can easily see myself getting hooked.

Beyond psyched about this, this was my first Final Fantasy title, which I think goes a long way in explaining how my tastes in games developed. Seriously though, it’s terrific.

This Indian restaurant I just ordered from has YouTube auto playing dance numbers from various Bollywood movies, and honestly I’ve never been more okay with waiting for a take out order. This rules.

By and large, Napoleon Dynamite holds up remarkably well.

I think we’re about due for a new Samba De Amigo spinoff.

Genuinely psyched to have found a copy of Gorby’s Pipeline (Gorby no Pipeline Daisakusen) for Famicom at a reasonable price. It’s probably one of the only Pipe Dream type games I actually enjoy. Now to find the Game Gear version.

Picked up the G Fans Lawson diorama. It’s really well done, and it’s nice to have a diorama that isn’t a showroom or parking garage. Once I figure out some secondary lighting. I’ll add some more scenery to complete the space.

The great things about antique malls is how you can find a really cool set of drinking glasses, and then be completely blindsided by a Billy Ray Cyrus commemorative 18 Wheeler.

Here’s more pics of Matchbox’s 1:64 1985 Nissan Pathfinder with some added weathering and spare tire detail. I’ve also added a screenshot from the YouTube channel SmallModelCar to give an idea of what it looks like out of the packaging. The temptation to look into interior detailing is strong.

“I feel…g…o…o…d…” You can not comprehend the true form of the Giygas duckpin bowling ball!

I’ve been trying my hand at some die cast weathering lately. It’s been fun, especially since the fact that you’re only spending $1.19 to experiment with making a car look old encourages trying out new ideas. 85 Pathfinders are not meant to look pristine, which adds to the fun.

PSA: This sentence can be used in almost any situation.

It’s Hoagiefest time at Wawa, which means that summertime, and by extension, legally distinct Sandwich John Lennon is here.

Gimme Magritte boys and free my soul ceci n'est pas une rocknroll green apple face

I absolutely love Waffle House. I say this without novelty or irony. Waffle House rules.

Update: Switch 2 Game Cards are just as bitter as their predecessors, but now in red flavor! Tune in. Turn on. Switch out.

Went to Best Buy to see if there was any hope at a Switch 2. The line seems just short enough that I’ll give this a shot.

My father had a 1991 Suzuki Swift, which some of you may know is the Geo Metro before it was rebadged by GM. He loved that car, and the Swift/Metro holds a special place in my heart. (Thread)

Just ordered one because Game Boy Camera photography rules.

I will always repost this shot from Wild Zero.

Today at Goodwill I decided against buying either one of the 3 (!) Macarena Christmas CDs or 7 copies of The New Testament in Kurdish (?), and instead purchased this interesting looking Behringer bass synthesizer for $6! Time to learn about bass lines and synthesizers!

This is my fight song The Price Is Right song Parma tonight song Hosting Whose Line song

The product of attending a Devo concert after watching Nosferatu.

Sifting through all the copies of Tetris finally paid off, here’s the Minuet Version of Tetris (cursed hardware remix)!

I’ve never actually picked up a copy to listen to, but I’ve always thought it was pretty cool that the cover art for Neil Young’s Silver & Gold was made with a Game Boy Camera.

Lucked out at my local GameStop! From the looks of it, they designated about a dozen copies for the entire eastern seaboard. It’s Power Stone time!

You know, it’s a good thing I can’t get Tomica Premium releases in the states because 1) I don’t need another thing to collect and 2) “They’re like Hot Wheels but made by this Japanese company, and I love the tiny boxes they come in” is just a bit too on brand for me.

There’s something beautiful about seeing a new game at GameStop and knowing it’s developed by D3 publisher by title alone.

It’s a brutal time for young men. A moth goes to see a podiatrist. The podiatrist says “What’s wrong?”. “What’s wrong?”, replies the moth. “What isn’t wrong?”

There’s an alternate universe where Plastilina Mosh occupies the same space Daft Punk occupies in ours. I vote Bassass. youtu.be/MRwm4yHGE7w?...

The Chiba DMV had this Celica that gave off some strong Sega Rally vibes, and I’m all for it.

You want a random game Saturday? Here’s Egg! @megamatttv.bsky.social helped me pick this up while I’m visiting. It’s an egg based territory capturing strategy game with a dash of SimCity, and this is the better playing Major Wave release! It’s Egg time, friends.

random thought ive had for weeks: a version of “Virtua Cop” where Buffalo Springfield gently warns you when bad guys appear

Bourbon Chicken from Big Easy in The Annapolis Mall circa 2003. There was a immaculate glaze of sweetness to every slightly charred piece. Served over rice with sides of corn and mashed potatoes in classic food court style. Its perfection now lives only in fleeting moments of gustatory memory.

I try not to pick up too many records when in Japan, but I couldn’t pass up this Weird Al single for Eat It. ¥330!
