I felt my gameplay was sloppy after the @bghof.com stream of Mighty No. 9 tonight so I'm playing off stream to get better and knowing more how the game wants to be played, I dislike it more and it's a pretty physically rough game to play if you have any physical disability in your arms/hands.

Summer lovin' has got me missing my Hog! Johnny returns once again to Beyond Good & Evil on PS2. Novel way to beat the heat. Going live 4pm UK Time

As I've alluded to before I'm doing some research into Mighty No. 9 which is having it's 10th birthday in less than a week! Many moments are infamous for MN9 and one of them is it's launch Twitch stream, which seemed like lost media based on how people talked. NOPE FOUND IT I HAVE TO WATCH IT NOW

Surprise! Going live on Twitch within the hour to play some good old PlayStation 2 online! Playing Champions of Norrath online co-op with PS2 or Die & his sister! No exact start time, watch for announcement on when we go live! (sadly no real hardware today we can't get crossplay working)(yet)

I'm cooking BTS on some great upcoming @bghof.com content, beautiful stuff makes me wanna cry like an anime fan on prom night (with pride) Hence the lack of personal streams, but I'm going to try and push to do something Sunday and you may even see another PS2 online collab, stay tuned!

Fuck it I'm prepping a stream, gonna play more dynasty warriors, chill time, see you there!

Cos of the heat & needing to fix my main baghead personal channel streams didn't happen this week sadly, though I'll try to do something Mon/Tues I have started prepping for more 6th gen console tier listing, games exclusive to Xbox or Gamecube for 6th gen console era, so look forward to that

For a series I didn't get into until the 2010s, it's funny now Super Metroid is a game I end up replay every year or so, it's still a tremendous, tight game all these years later. Def recommend the Redux romhack on repeat playthroughs, Zero Mission QoL map upgrades, faster item pick ups & elavators

ALERT! We are currently hogless in Beyond Good & Evil help me fix it! Beyond Good & Evil PS2 returns! It's hot as balls here! Going live at 6pm UK Time, wooo!

My town and my room specifically has decided it's summer, so err. I dunno let's stream Gonna prep for Dynasty Warriors 2, hoping for more success. I'll be live about 5:30 UK Time, let's melt the day away!

Gonna try and stream more Beyond Good & Evil tomorrow, though my town's hitting that summer heat so we'll see how I do, I really want to get back on camera though

Steam somehow lost my Far Cry 2 Realism+ save :( How, considering it's the same PC, I don't know, but sad becaise I had gotten to the 2nd map I'll probably go back to to beat the PC version but wow, sucks!

I might not have streamed today, but I did get out my bag of broken PS1/PS2 controllers I plan to try and fix and made notes of what inputs are not working or have issues and rebagged them separate, so that's neat!

I mentioned about streaming today but still not sure on that, got some IRL stuff to take care of so I'll keep folks posted

Stream Updates ; Beyond Good & Evil will be back (maybe wednesday?) for the weekdays Dynasty Warriors 2 I'm going to restart Zhao Yun's Musou mode just to be 100% sure we're playing on easy, wow is that game is hard, way harder than the sequels I've played, we'll pick up again on the weekend

From one launch title to another, Johhny and his PS2 are going back to the game that started it all! Dynasty Warriors 2! Wait what? Stream starts at 3pm UK Time, be there or LuBu will come and get you!

It does my head in people play videogames, even read reviews and say shit like this. THIS.IS.NOT.HOW.MEDIA.CRITIQUE.WORKS. We're at the point now where people are trying to claim genres and styles has set ratings?! Also maybe a hot take but a game's impact shouldn't factor into a review

There's a 1/5 star "review" for MOTORSLICE on Backloggd for "absolutely atrocious controls" and I have to tell you it's taking every fiber of my being to not post a comment that just says "skill issue" For reference you jump with the A button, move with the left stick, slide/roll with LT

Johnny loves the Timesplitters games, but did you know he's never actually played much of, let alone beaten, the first game in the series? Well now he finally has the game worth buying a PlayStation 2 for! Stream starts at 2pm UK Time, it's splitting time!

The people have spoken, next stream we'll take a brief detour from Beyond Good & Evil and start Timesplitters, considering my love for the series it's about time I play through the first game! Turns out though I don't have my back up moved onto the PS2 HDD yet so err maybe not today? We'll see

Wanna see if people want me to mix up the PlayStation 2 playthrough streams, so please vote on this poll for me and next stream (ETA tuesday or wednesday? we'll see) that'll decide what I play! strawpoll.com/X3nkP8BlVgE

I'm going hog wild for some more real PS2 playthroughs so lets play some more Beyond Good & Evil, going live at 3pm UK time!

To celebrate the upcoming sequel (it's coming any day now we swear it's not cancelled!)... Beyond Good & Evil! Real PlayStation 2 playthrough starts today Going live at 3pm UK time, hogs welcome!

Prepping a surprise stream, gonna stop putting off finishing Wipeout Fusion, plus hear about how I somehow strained my shoulder in my sleep last week Live by 5pm UK Time at the latest

Hey Eurogamer, can you stop pushing Nintendo's framing that their digital/physical price differences means "making digital games cheaper"??? Raising all the prices then making the digital versions the original price point isn't "cheaper" Stop doing PR for Nintendo, bare minimum ask here

I feel so bad I've basically put the Wipeout Fusion playthrough on hold for 8 months but I've legit partly dreaded going back to that GP campaign and how much grinding/restarts it takes to win those GPs, that were getting longer and longer despite running out of new tracks

Help I was doing research in some of the worse games ported to PlayStation Vita and now I wanna play X-Com Enemy Unknown again and actually beat it this time! One of the few games I think I played on Mac that carried my save over to PC but I remember diddly shit so I restarted

I did have some ideas for personal streams this week but I did the thing where I woke up and now my shoulder is screaming at me if I slightly move my torso so, who knows I'm not that bad it's not as bad as that time I pulled some neck muscle some time ago, but not sure how long till it's better

@manfightdragon.bsky.social I saw your post on Twitter about this weird PS4/PS5 digital "Valid Period" update and I wanted to give some extra info I found since you muted the thread

If you've ever wondered what it looks like to clip out of bounds in VR Didn't get footage but I kept falling for 15+ minutes, which by then the UI was so wobbly and distorted it was unreadable This also broke the pause menu rendering for some reason, the void was top layeri guess so I couldn't see

What's Johnny favorite Rez? 480p of course! Back streaming with more PlayStation 2 games to rank, all on real hardware + updates and general foolery LIVE NOW www.twitch.tv/johnnybaghead

I've said this before but FOR REAL this time, doing a stream today, it will be Rez on PlayStation 2, we'll rank some shit, it'll be cool ETA between 4-5pm I'll go live, I'll post when

Just beat DOOM VFR on PS4 PSVR and I thought it was a nifty little game, but for a game that's 90% recycled assets from DOOM 2016, it was shocking how short one campaign playthrough is. If you're reusing rooms and level chunks, heck why not reuse more? why not just redo the whole campaign?

I've started a blog cos too many of my Bluesky posts turn into never ending threads. My first post is about my 1st day with the PS4 PSVR headset I brought recently, I have a lot of thoughts so please check it out & look for future posts johnnybaghead.bearblog.dev/messing-with...

I think to this day the worst version of this was a forum post on Borderlands 2's official forums for people to criticise Aspyr for not releasing updates for the Mac port on Steam until Aplle approved the App Store version and people unironically would say "I'm on Windows so I don't see the problem"

Related to the news about the PS5 price increase, I won an eBay auction for a PS4 Pro for about £110, which is about £20 more than the price increase of all the PS5 models in the UK. That's right, I brought it for almost the same amount a 5 year old console is increasing price (again)

Some OG folks might notice I've cleared out my main YT of most the old vids, ie the YTPs, figure it was about time to refocus the channel's views, plus those YTPs are probably minefields of Content Claims waiting to happen & keep getting age restricted for cussing in the titles

Diving into that PS4 VR headset I got cheap and found out something kind of funny that a lot of VR games got PS4 Pro patches or just run better on the headset with it. This includes Sony's pack-in/free games like Astrobot Playroom and VR Worlds.

Did a incognito YT search just to see how my videos show up and search results and I am appauled to see the worst of the worst sloptuber content in the recommendations when I bring up my highlight video. Not even gaming content, the fuckface who's being talking about the "solution" to immigrants

So i set an auto bid assuming I'd get outbidded and didn't, so now I own a PS4 VR headset, it's neat if obviously dated tech now but it was £25. So that RE7 VR stream idea can come true now, plus there's software to let me use the headset on PC though move controllers will take some fuckery

This Mega64 skit is from 2012 and some Gamers:tm: are so against growing as people, that this video is still relevent to this day www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ko1s...

Time Crisis Sinden Marathon stream update: Got my Sinden working in RPCS3 for Time Crisis 4/Razxing Storm however there's a really nasty bug, The Machine Gun doesn't fire when you press/hold the trigger, only a tiny bit when you release the trigger, which is kind of required for that game

It takes some worth and web archive tools, but something fun to try sometimes is to find critically acclaimedn video games (or other media) on metacritic, and read the mixed to negative reviews, they are a fucking trip let me tell you

Randomly stumbled into a Jeff Gerstmann rants video playlist and got reminded of this one about Destiny and as someone who put dozens of hours into it, everything here is 100% right www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-TI... I legit took Taken King expansion for Destiny to actually be good

You're getting more, I cannot be contained!

I tried to do a my9games.com thing, I failed I have to be real, the idea of just 9, I couldn't make it work, so here's 18 and honestly, it's still too low a number. GTA San Andreas, PoP SoT, Castlevania SOTN/DoS, SSX3, THPS3/THUG, there's so many missing here, I'd be more like my 90 games

Thanks to very generous donations from fans, I know own two Sinden Lightguns! Let's mess around with them for a bit and catch up! POTENTIAL FLASHING LIGHTS WARNING please be advised! www.twitch.tv/johnnybaghead

I know it's short notice, but letting you know now I'm prepping for a stream, so when I post I'm live, I'll be live for real Hope you'll come a tune in!
