The Retro Blast Podcast new episode announcement coming soon...

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City officially released 23 years ago, October 29, 2002. This is my personal favorite game in the franchise. It took everything that made GTA3 amazing and expanded on it, threw it all back to a Miami Vice style 80s, and had one of the BEST licensed soundtracks EVER.

A look at the SuperDeluxe #Castlevania collections. These are very similar to the Limited Run editions, just missing a few items and a fraction of the price. I really like the packaging of these. Tried to do a video review but wasn’t feeling it so pictures instead! More pictures in the comments

NEW SPOOKY SWIRL 🎉 SCREAM 🔪 Available in video & audio now!

New episode of The Retro Blast Podcast drops TONIGHT! It's the largest project I've ever produced, and I'm a liiiiittle nervous about it! 😅 To all the fans who have encouraged me to try something a little different, thank you for the kind words and support. I really hope y'all like it! -Patrick

Getting myself a little pin collecting going here

Command & Conquer (1995)

I'm suffering some writer's block lately, and it's been frustrating me A LOT. I'm second guessing and failing to trust myself. I need to reconfigure my headspace a little. I want this Retro Blast episode to be full of great stories and memories, but I hope you'll be patient with me in the meantime.

Picked up a relic from the past. Im sure I had this back when I was a kid, shame things like this just dont exist anymore.

YEAH BABY!

HUGE NEWS 🎉🥳✨ We're expecting a new wrestling fan to join our family soon...

Game 47. Hollow Knight This is an absolutely beautiful game. Balls hard but still amazing. Was going to go for the platinum but think I'll leave it, otherwise I may have to end up buying a new pad. #GamesCompleted2025

Oh lordy it's a comin'. 3+ hours covering the entirety of Series 5, this Friday at 5pm.

Game 46 Castlevania Portrait Of Ruin Absolutely love this game, might have surpassed Dawn of sorrow as my favourite Hand held CV game. Ended up doing all the quests for Eric, which is pretty fun and the drop rate for items isnt bad at all. #GamesCompleted2025

I've decided on the next Retro Blast episode. in 2002, I worked as a 'Game Advisor' at FuncoLand right before the GameStop merge. I have LOTS of stories to tell. I'm going to get the Patrons involved with their own game store memories, and maybe a few Bluesky fans too! 😉 I hope you love this one!

Challenging myself to draw every Bloodborne boss that I beat! I felt terrible! Vicar Amelia was shying away from the fire half the fight and getting staggered the other half. First time I asked myself in this game "are we the baddies?" 😭

ICYMI NEW EPISODE!!!

Game 45 and platinum 62 Broken sword reforged. Still a great game and the remaster looks absolutely stunning. Still remembered how to do all the puzzles in it and the trophies were very easy to get. #GamesCompleted2025 #Backlog2025 #TrophyHunting #Platinum

Game 44 Castlevania Dawn Of Sorrow So happy the DS games came out on modern consoles with the dominus collection. Absolutely love this game its still so much fun, aside from the abysmal drop rates for the souls. #GamesCompleted2025

Finally getting around to playing this. Bought it when it was released and it just sat on the back burner. I love the game, and played the original game quite a bit back in the day. #Backlog2025

Game 43. Night Slashers Remake Decent beat em up, short but fun.......not much more to say about this really. #Backlog2025 #GamesCompleted2025

NEW EPISODE! 🏠LEGENDS’ HOUSE VOL. 3🏠 One does not simply LARP into Legends’ House! ⚔️Out now on all podcast apps! ⚔️

YOU ASKED FOR IT! (A LOT) JUICE UP THAT ALGORITHM WITH THE HERETIC/HEXEN REMATERS BECAUSE I ACTUALLY HAVE STUFF TO SAY youtu.be/4f6g6-plHL0

So after finishing Hyper Light Drifter, I spun the wheel and Night Slashers came up next. A remake of a beat em up from the 90s. Had a go last night and almost got through it. Got stuck on the second to last stage. Only a short game, so should finish it soon. #Backlog2025

Game 42 Hyper Light Drifter. Finally got this one off the backlog. Really enjoyed it, absolutely beautiful art design and gameplay. Combat is really good and fluid, some difficult bosses but nothing to challenging. Would definitely recommend. #GamesCompleted2025 #Backlog2025

What was the FIRST video game that you truly LOVED? 💜 That one special game that you would want newcomers to Retro Gaming to try over anything else... Now's your chance to give that game the recognition it deserves. Make your case, let's get some great games in here!

Full transparency. I'm muting a few gaming mutuals on here that mostly repost political articles/rage posts. Bluesky is my one reprieve from all the noise I see EVERYWHERE else. I'm choosing my mental peace because that's not why I'm here. It's not personal, but I wanted to be honest. I'm sorry.😔

Mike being an excellent father

Time to break out the wheel to decide what to play next. Hyper light drifter came up. I remember playing this for a bit a while ago but just didnt know what to do or where to go. Time to go back to it and see if I can finally finish it. #Backlog2025

And thats that. 100% done Cyberpunk 2077 and phantom liberty. Loved this, every part of this game and the DLC was just amazing. One of the best gaming experience ive had in a long time. CD Projekt Red knocked it out of the park with this.

Game 40 & 41. Streets Of Rage 1 & 2 Still 2 of my favourite best em ups of all time, especially 2. Still play these frequently and dont get tired of them. Shout out to @bitmap_books For the amazing book go straight covering beat em ups. #GamesCompleted2025

Platinum #61 Cyberpunk 2077 What a game this is. Did not expect to go for the platinum, but it just sucked me in. Loved the story and the world is amazing. The scanner hustles took the most time, but was still enjoyable #platinum #trophyhunting

Shadow Dancer scores for the #MegaDriveChallenge @retrojonesy.bsky.social 978,800 Me 752,300 GothamBeauty 377,000 @hadyn79.bsky.social 278,600 @sonicechoes.bsky.social 186,100 @johnbunday.bsky.social 184,600 3HeadedMonkey 182,400 Well done everybody. Some great scores over the 3 weeks!

Game #39 Cyberpunk 2077 Well that was an amazing ride! What a game, enjoyed every moment of it. I think the Panam ending was my favourite though and shes probably my favourite character too. Now on to the grind for the platinum. #Backlog2025 #GamesCompleted2025

Platinum #60 Finally managed to get the Platinum for this. Only took 7 years! 🤯 Its such a great and fun plat to get. Absolutely love this collection and loved earning the trophies. #platinumtrophy #TrophyHunting

Well, I guess I was closer to the end than I thought. It’s done! 🤷‍♂️

Have a great weekend, folks. Unlock a Platinum trophy for your ol’ pal Dazeel. Cheers!🍻

So the next game off the wheel is Ion Fury. So I've given this a little go tonight and Im just not a fan of it. It might just be me, but im just not getting on with it. I love FPS games as well but something about this just doesn't feel right. Its very floaty and twitchy and hard to hit anything.

Game 38 Resident Evil Revelations I was not a fan of this game to be honest. I love the series, but this just didn't play that well. Enemies were bullet sponges, the bosses weren't that good and the dodge mechanic just did not work when I wanted it to. #GamesCompleted2025 #Backlog2025
