Hey, how is everybody? Got any plans for the week? The past two weeks were very busy in Cart Boy land, but this week things'll start returning to normal. I'm planning to get some writing done and, hopefully, beat a game or two.

Anyhoo, I got a @sourcegaming.info article landing soon. Be sure to bring your blasters!

For all of Donkey Kong Bananza’s reclamation of DK series history, I still frequently forget that the Life Balloons actually return to the shape of Donkey’s head upon the conclusion of the game. Like, damn. We weren’t even asking for that one to come back.

Googled "unengaging" on a whim and got this "helpful" response. No. No, thank you, Google AI.

Happy Birthday, Pac-Man!!! This feels as good a time as any to reshare my Dream Smasher article for Swordsman No. 8 and PUCK I did last year! I’m still very proud of it, and I still very much love Shadow Labyrinth a lot. #pacman #shadowlabyrinth #consumedarkness sourcegaming.info/2025/12/27/d...

Lemme also give a huge shoutout to my good friend @legendcartboy.bsky.social’s article on Into The Volcano! An incredible piece on its own but one that I’m also happy to have had accompanying mine as @sourcegaming.info’s hooray for Pac’s 45th! #pacman #pmw2 sourcegaming.info/2025/12/29/l...

Hey, how is everybody? Whatcha doing this week? I have a busy week ahead, but hopefully I'll get some gaming and Source Gaming in. Right now, I'm chipping away at an article I'm planning to publish on July 17. It's currently over 5,000 words, so editing it will be another long process.

As if my week wasn’t crazy enough with finals, jury duty & pain flaring, now the ojou-sama water fountain at my job is laughing at me 💀

Today is the last day you can vote on the Star Fox for Smash 6 poll. If you haven't voted yet, do it now! forms.gle/jopNV7f61JYS...

Fox and @douibyorthst.bsky.social met under some sycamore trees to discuss the new #TwinPeaks teases from @markfrost.bsky.social, before giving a galaxy-brained take on why most critics misunderstood the #SuperMarioGalaxyMovie! bit.ly/FYHODspotify bit.ly/FYHODapple shows.acast.com/fixyourheart...

Pokémon Colosseum is hardly perfect, but it had a unique depiction of the Pokémon world and I appreciate that. Also, a Tropius is in it, so bonus points!

Okay, yeah, neither of these are perfect. But they're still important, valuable entries in the series, and I'd take either before Dual Destinies or Spirit of Justice. (Note: I need to replay Dual Destinies and Spirit of Justice. Maybe they're better than I remember.)

Star Fox Direct May 6, 2026: Information and Reactions A late in the evening Direct, just the thing to make me rush late at night.

I hope the new Star Fox is great and sells well so the series' continuity can finally advance again. For whatever it's worth, I missed most of the Direct, but what little I caught seemed nice. Glad levels seem to include alternate paths again. I should also dust off my unopened copy of Guard...

Some Super Smash Bros. rumors are making the rounds today, I see. All I ask is that everybody remembers the golden rule of Smash speculation: every character I like is awesome and deserves a spot, and characters I don't like are lame and would waste slots. Thanks in advance for complying.

A new Donkey Kong Bananza plush of DK & Pauline, and a plush keychain of DK clutching a Banandium Gem, are now available to preorder internationally from @mecchajp.bsky.social!

It's now...

Over 200 active video game publications. Text. Audio. Video. Reporting. Criticism. Analysis. Blogs. Sites. Networks and wikis. Even in its incomplete form, the document is a treasure trove! I hope it helps you find your next favorite blogger, essayist, reporter, video maker, podcaster, and more!

The Donkey Kong movie is currently in production, but which Hollywood actors and comedians should Illumination and Nintendo cast as the Kongs, Kremlings, and other jungle weirdos? Jeff and I choose our picks on a potentially Kongtroversial #Kongversation! www.dkvine.com?p=podcasts&s...

Hey, how is everybody? Got any cool plans for the week? Nothing exciting here. I'm hoping to get a lot of writing done. I'm also helping someone move, and I just started a Yooka-Laylee replay, the first time I've touched it since 2017. Wasn't big on it then, but it'll be interesting to revisit.

FATED TO

It was one year ago today that Donkey Kong fandom knew Bananza was a true celebration of the franchise. Yes, it was a mere 21 days after the game was announced when we realized that the Northern Kremisphere was displayed on the various maps in the game. Happy mapiversary to my fellow DK nerds.

Happy Earth Day! @legendcartboy.bsky.social is salvaging a lost treasure from his archives today. #EndlessOcean #BeatTheBacklog

It's about time I publish something for @sourcegaming.info again! We're gonna honor Earth Day with some aquatic ambience.

come on man.

Finished Star Fox: Adventures. He can't keep getting away with this.

Doing important detective work in Hotel Dusk.

Level complete, DKC2 style! Was great revisiting my end of level anims from 1995. Also, colour commissions now unlocked!

"I told you we'd be friends the next time we met"

How's everybody today? Got any big plans coming up? This will be a quiet week for me, I think. I'm hoping to finish a first draft of an article I've been chipping away at and make some progress in a retrospective I'm hoping to publish in July.

Hey too no one’s surprise, YouTube seems to have killed this one too RT’s appreciated, spread the word

NEW MOVIE Klonoa 2 Lunatea’s Veil is a very special game for me But why is that? Well gather round and I’ll tell you why youtu.be/tyrg6HvRo7o

explore the galaxy

One of my greatest skills is the ability to write long essays about obscure Nineties characters.

Hey, happy Easter to those who celebrate. How's everybody doing? Enjoy The Super Mario Galaxy Movie? I'm doing some writing and playing some games, including Super Mario Galaxy 2. I've also been rewatching the original Scream movies, which I haven't seen in years.

Happy Easter from our friends at Unova!

We discuss DK Vine's perverse fascination with Virtual Boy on an all-new #Kongversation! @davidtlynch.bsky.social and I make the case that Virtual Boy is Nintendo's most misunderstood failure. Plus, we compare the experience of playing it on Switch with the original! www.dkvine.com?p=podcasts&s...

There's something missing from you. | 03.30.2026

Hey, how is everybody? Got anything exciting coming up? Nothing too exciting here. I've started working on two Donkey Kong articles, which I'll likely ask for help on down the road. Aside from that, I beat Marlow Briggs and the Mask of Death today. Truly one of the hack and slashes of all time.
