Retro Blast - 'The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past' is now available🧚‍♀️ It's time to find out why this is not only one of the best Zelda titles, but why it's just so special.. Special Guest: @rachaelcamui.bsky.social Listen Here or on Spotify, Apple, or anywhere you get your podcasts

First time playing a call of duty game in 13 years with Black Ops 1 on PS5 and to say I'm rusty is an understatement. I'm absolutely abysmal at the game! I don't want to say its just lag or input delay, but as soon as I see someone I can't even get a shot off before I die.

The response I've had to me switching to full time has been overwhelming in its generosity, kindness, well wishes and everything else. Thank you to everyone. It's insane to think so many people are as eager as me to see what comes. 18 days of work left before the real work begins.

So, I've just taken the plunge on a huge decision today. You can call it a stupid risk, or a mad gamble, or whatever you fancy - but today I handed my notice in at work and one month from now, I'll be dedicating my entire time to creating videos. I've got a lot of plans for what comes next...

First time behind the dungeon master screen in like, 10 years. Hope I'm not too rusty.

Retro Blast - The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past will be recorded TONIGHT! ... after a slight setback due to life events 🙃 Thanks to all the Patrons for their comments and questions for the show! Are YOU a fan of A Link to the Past?

Latest blu ray added to the collection. Never seen this movie before, but i have seen some scenes from it and ive always wanted to see it. Also having Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao, Cynthia Rothrock and Richard Norton instantly sold, even if just one of these were in it

Platinum number #17 for the year. Lunark. A fantastic homage to classics like Flashback and Another World. Beautiful pixel graphics and fun gameplay too. A quick and easy platinum that with a guide only takes about 3-4 hours if that. #TrophyHunting #Platinum #PS5

Platinum #16 this year. Dark Souls 2. This was a great time, although it is probably the weakest of the 3 its still a fantastic game. Really enjoyed my time with it again and learning the game alot more was fun. I've been wanting to Platinum this for years and so glad i got back into it. #Platinum

Huh. That's weird. Looks like a new website full of completely free Retro Blast episodes for anyone to enjoy whenever they like with a super cool interface that I totally didn't spend hours and hours and.... hours... hyperfixating and obsessing over the details of. I'm lying, I did do that.

Hi everyone! The next two episodes of The Retro Blast Podcast will feature some VERY special guest co-hosts! 🌊 Final Fantasy X with @gamergorlgabs.bsky.social 🧚 The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past with @rachaelcamui.bsky.social Show them both some love and welcome them to the show! 💜

Platinum #15 this year. Vampire Crawlers. A great fun game that is so addictive. Definitely reccomend it if you're a fan if card based Rogue like dungeon crawlers. #TrophyHunting #Platinum #PS5

Finally finished Streets Of Rage 2 with 1 credit on hard with Axel. Been trying to do this for ages and finally did it, with a small bit of health and on my last life. Another one that will make @onecreditclassics.bsky.social proud 😁

Finished Streets of rage on one credit with Blaze. Also got to the end and did stages 6, 7 and 8 again and got the highest score I've ever gotten. Think @onecreditclassics.bsky.social would be proud of me 😁😁😁

Next platinum is Vampire Crawlers. Loved Vampire Survivors and this game is just as addictive and fun. #TrophyHunting #VampireCrawlers #PS5

Spiderman 2 platinum achieved. Absolutely loved this. Nice easy platinum and a really fun game. #platinum #TrophyHunting #ps5 #spiderman2

I'm VERY bad about sharing my successes, but I do want to share this with y'all. The Retro Blast Podcast is on track for 300,000 downloads soon, and has a 4.9/5.0 rating across Apple, Spotify, and Podchaser alone. I almost ended the show a couple years ago. I'm glad I didn't. I'm proud of it.😊

Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin (ps4, 2014)

Beautiful new subscribers cover of the latest @retrogamermag.bsky.social @retrogamerdaz.bsky.social An article on Match Day II as well! Can’t wait to read this one. #RetroGaming

Just had the new issue of @retrogamermag.bsky.social drop. Look out for it in shops today.

Looks like Game Sack is 15 years old today. Kind of snuck up on me!

I want to just say this after all the discourse circulating. If everyone leaves, I'll still be here posting to myself. I left Twitter because it was killing my mental health and I didn't want to support Elon Musk. The QUALITY of my experience here has been great and that's all that matters to me.

Good way to start off the long weekend. 👀

Started Suikoden last night.

If you love #Speedrun World Record Progression videos, then I think you are gonna enjoy @arcticayeka.bsky.social and their excellent content The channel is still relatively small but their videos are all top-notch in both quality & presentation! #retrogaming #SNES #speedrunning #gaming #Castlevania

The Dig (1995)

Quite possibly my favorite Anime of all time. It's just perfect.

NEW EPISODE 🙏 RING OF GLORY!🙏 Bro, I sweah to gawd, it’s the best idea ever, wrestling and religion, what could go wrong?! ✨Out now on all podcast apps!✨

@thegamersician.com and I released an episode entirely dedicated to Tenchu and why it's so special! If you need a cozy, nostalgic listen this morning, here it is! tinyurl.com/retroblastpo...

Street Fighter (1994) Is it one of the best video game movies ever?

1993 was an insanely stacked year for video games when you see it laid out like this, just all-time greats from top to bottom.

Next platinum journey. This one's gonna take a while, but I'm ready to get immersed in the world. #TrophyHunting #PS5 #HorizonForbiddenWest

Hey, everyone. I'm getting very close to having 200 followers on Bluesky. The community is growing very fast, and I really enjoy doing gaming (past and present) and other nostalgic stuffs here. Help me reach 200 followers and I'll show one of my games I've designed in the past. #promosky

This is the first attempt at the #Megadrivechallenge on Comix Zone. Got to episode 2 and ended up on 37,850 @retromartin.bsky.social

Wanted to thank my buddy @maakorhapsody.bsky.social real quick. He sent this gift to me as a surprise and it definitely perked up my day! Plus, a book all about N64 games? You nailed it, I'm all over this!

The Retro Blast Podcast: 'Arcade Memories' releases next week. Join Actor Evan Sabba (Brad Vickers, RE3:Nemesis) and I as we reminisce about going to Video Game Arcades in the 80s and 90s, our fav arcade games, and why those days were so special. Let's revisit the best days gone by.. together.💫

Yes, it's the best 3D Mario game ever. Super Mario 64 was SO far ahead of its time. And yea, you could say I'm biased because I was 12 and it blew my mind. But it's near-perfect and STILL so much fun to play today. Sunshine, Galaxy, Odyssey—all incredible games. But SM64 sits above them all to me.

New podcast day (finally)! Sorry for the belated release folks, this house doesn't sort itself out! Sadly RSS is trying to get card details out of me to use it for free which is a big NOPE so just Spotify going forward! open.spotify.com/episode/2pUv...
