A mere one year late, here is Johnny Baghead's 2023* - 2024 Stream highlights video (also includes some late 2022) Thank you @clarisskrays.bsky.social for the thumbnail youtu.be/PDSjkUe7CAY

Having finished Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag in my off-time series revisit, it is still the best game in the series and honestly just one of the best games from that era, maybe the best Pirate game? The fact it's made from scraps of the bloated unfocused AC3 is still funny

Merry Crimbus and a Happy Hogswatch from ya boy Johnny Baghead

Tonight at 9pm UK/4pm East US It's the Non-Special Xmas Eve Special Show! Featuring no music numbers, no planned guests or cozy set, but we'll finish PoP Warrior Within & play even more PS2 games if Santa let's us? www.twitch.tv/johnnybaghead

Think I'm going to hold off the next Warrior Within stream until tomorrow, as I'll have to do a bit of planning to seek out the missed health upgrades to get the true ending. Also why is the game like this?! Why am I having to find 3d Blender rip maps to navigate? Just have a good map menu game!

Who likes a surprise show? Johnny needs to give his throat a dry run after another course of penicillin and what better way than playing more Prince of Persia Warrior Within, now with a Retrotink 5x! (and RGB SCART) Live starting 2pm uk/9am US east, Monica Bellucci will be there maybe

I've been doing some research into DmC Devil May Cry (terrible name to this day) for a future project and it's been a trip reliving through it's pre-release history. Never has a game designed for mass audience appeal had such distain for it's eisting fanbase coming from the devs and press

So a long term stream promise has been fulfilled, I have brought a RetroTink, specifically the 5x. It seems like amazing hardware but I'm doing some set up testing to see what's the optimal config Got a few more variations to test but I might need to do research to find the best PS2 Component Cable

There's some on-going drama about vtuber designs/models, and I'm not getting into it at all. However I do want to have a little talk about the overarching thing here, about designs and aesthetics appropriated from or evoking the idea of a problematic source, intentional or unintentional

"Boss fights" but the boss isn't an actual enemy, it's an out of reach entity you get to hit every 30-60 seconds after doing platforming/fighting waves

Got reminded today how vague and undefined the idea of what's a video game "remaster, remake, reboot/adaptation" is and how it's been made confusing on all fronts, by the industry, pundits and audience, using the terms interchangably.

Tonight on Twitch at 8:00pm (UK) 3:00PM (EST): Thanksgiving might be a time for family but I! Stand Alone! Get your chins down and your eyes up as Johnny returns to the most edgiest game of 2004 that will leave you Godsmacked! Prince of Persia Warrior Within www.twitch.tv/johnnybaghead

I don't really bang on about how much Timesplitters is my fav FPS shooter, so I've actually been following TimeSplitters Rewind for most of it's life and wow we actually have a public playable build and it feels pretty good feels good after all this time.

You know what something I've never really talked about online is since my early teens I've been a massive fan of Terry Pratchett and his Discworld series, have 30 of the books (some via omnibus editions) as well as some non-Discworld books he wrote.

Johnny is all hopped up on penicillin, while he recovers offcam let's play the only game that can speak for his pain and darkness...Prince of Persia: Warrior Within! Back when Gaming Peaked! Going live 2:30pm UK/ 11:30pm East US www.twitch.tv/johnnybaghead

Thought I’d update you all that yes, I am still on my Ridge Racer kick, I’m full throttle over here! Hang on a sec, what does that say on the Ridge Racer Unbounded box?…

Welcome to Bag Head Brunch! We got a whole bunch of PS2 games to add to the tier list, so let's also play a quickie and play Silent Scope for PlayStation 2! Featuring USB Mouse support they forgot to mention in the manual! Stream will start roughly 3pm UK/12 pm East US, Scope up and Move Out

Live Now! www.twitch.tv/johnnybaghead Ridge Racer 2 PSP! Catch Up with Johnny! Maybe figure out why I keep getting sick! Who knows?!

As mentioned I wanna do a casual catch up stream, so I'm prepping for that now! Going to play some Ridge Racer 2 (PSP), we'll chat about what's been going on and what future plans will be! No Cam as I'm still recovering from throat sickness I'll go live around 1pm UK Time, hope to see you there!

Again mega apologies I didn't do any personal channel streams this October (we'll make up for that soon) Ya Bag Boi got sick again, classic Johnny Bag move there, though it's mostly just a sore/swollen throat this time. This week, maybe Tuesday, ima do a casual "update" stream so keep eyes peeled

Recently did a quick career playthrough of Beatles Rock Band as I lost all of xbox 360 saves. It's still kind of hard to believe that game got made, when you consider how protected The Beatles discog is (especially in 09) and it's such a detailed tribute, no other band focused game comes even close

Had to share this from playing Ridge Racer 2 (PSP) recently, sadly don't have player view cos this moment looked way goofier in game

In celebration of us playing more Silent Hill Homecoming at @bghof.com tonight, I'll remind folk at some users at SHWiki have a fan theory that Alex Shepard is closeted gay based on absolute nonsense (thread)

You'll see this discussed on a certain Monday show in more detail, but I wish Ridge Racer games would still be a thing. The era where systems would get a Ridge Racer game as a launch title were especially fun, as they were pretty good early technical showcases

Gonna take another bite out of Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop for Nintendo Wii, over at the Bad Game Hall of Fame LIVE NOW! ARRRHGGGAAA www.twitch.tv/badgamehallo...

There's a lot to not like about current gaming, I think something that's getting to me the most is how culture war chuds usually become the loudest and therefore "defacto" criticism and make it near impossible to criticise without getting their stank

Being a member of @bghof.com really changes your perspective on this question because a lot of the replies/quotes I've seen are of games that are honestly middling to fine. Though shoutouts SH Homecoming is getting a lot of play right now (check out the latest VOD on the BGHOF YT channel)

Getting deep into this playthrough of Silent Hill Homecoming for the @bghof.com , first is a reminder of how boring having to actually play it is when combat boils down to the one knife combo that stunlocks enemies, and linear path levels and extended running with nothing happening areas

Sorry there haven't been any streams on my personal channel this month yet, lots of stuff going on BTS and with BGHOF (good things mind you) I will try and do some stuff soon, maybe start Fatal Frame 3 this weekend, so please keep an eye out here for announcements

Your Baggy Boi is going live with Dead Rising's odd Wii game in a few minutes, be sure to tune in :)

Just wanna give some extra shout outs and info on the history section on this, as it wouldn't have been as good as it was if it wasn't for specific people

For my follows who may not know, I'm starting a playthrough of Silent Hill Homecoming over at www.twitch.tv/badgamehallo... tonight at 8pm EST, including a history section with some interesting reveals thanks to devs I managed to talk to, it would mean a lot if you come give a watch <3

Before I nap Just watched the 2012 Bettie Page documentary narrated by her, really fascinating look into the person behind the iconic image most don't know beyond said image. Def look up Content Warnings before watching but still recommend considering her opinion of the 2006 boipic was "LIES, LIES"

Two new pick ups. Terracon has been on my radar since it was on a @bghof.com Games From A Hat, but never heard of this SEGA Soccer Slam, not a SEGA IP that stood the test of time it seems

This guy seems to suck but ima be frank the replies focusing in on the comment about subtley are baffling to me Why are y'all all saying "SH writing was never subtle", that's just flatly untrue, the series peak with Owaku writing were praised for their subtlety, especially for it's subject matters

Quickie Streaming Update: Spooktober will be busy for @bghof.com , me included but I would like to do a classic survival horror lp on my channel. Going to try and play through Fatal frame 3 (undub) No set schedule yet, watch this space for info on those streams, or when I'm streaming with BGHOF

Assassin's Creed look back update: After finishing AC3 for the first time and the DLC (I have so much to say I'm tempted to right a review) I played AC Liberation remastered cos it was in the collection. The pacing and scale of things make it very obviously a VITA game, but honestly, good

Saw some discussion about what Silent Hill game count as "mainline" releases and I find that funny because I've seen multiple series, have reboots, "remakes", non canon entries either stated by the publisher, or argued by fans to be "mainline" What does it actually mean?

My main takeaway from this is wow Famitsu's review scoring has always been wonky. I'm someone who thinks it's a concept we need to scrap in general anyway, but it breaks my brain to see the 3 all time greatest psychological survival horror games all get 6-7/10 AND SH4 (flawed but still love) also

Oh yeah here’s my UMD video collection, not very impressive currently. If you have UMDs you don’t want anymore and you’re in South East England, holla at I’ll take your UMDs I’ll find you!

Still thinking about how fascinating the PlayStation Portable was as a midway point between dedicated handheld gaming device & a multi-media device that actually was moderatedly successful. Most high end portable systems failed but the PSP managed to have full scale GTA games, a mainline MGS + more

Prepping early stream, we're gonna finish off that PoP Lost Crown DLC, maybe do some other stuff if it's over too quick. Going Live around 5pm UK Time, though might start earlier if things work out

After being so impressed with Allen Rucker’s writing on Sopranos : Road to Respect I just HAD to get the cookbook he wrote

I've been a sick bag boi but I wanted to update everyone on what's been happening and have a chill nite so going to start up stream at 9PM UK/4pm East US time. Everyone seems to be hype around a Metroidvania, so why don't I do that PoP: Lost Crown DLC that came out a while back? Yippie

Thankfully my annual bug symptoms have been on the lighter side so I may be doing my early streams again soon (probably no cam for a bit though) but I will be on @bghof.com tomorrow My Sick days game I've been playing is Assassin's Creed III Remastered, always been curious about it (Thread)

I hit that annual time where I seem to catch the same bug once a year, not too bad this time but the thorat is sore and I'm a bit out of it, so streams gonna be on hold for a bit until I'm well enough again

I mentioned about maybe streaming today but I'm more physically worn out from my little outing this week than I realised so need to rest today, maybe I'll do something this weekend. Still not sure if I'm going to focus on WipeOut Fusion or mix it up, we'll see

From what I can gather, the MGS3 Delta remake is mostly the same game as the original in terms of gameplay, level structure and design, story, etc, with some nice QoL and accessibility enhancements, but with a worse art style Or maybe more appropriate to say, a lack of artstyle/art direction

Prepping a midday stream (midday for me anyway), gonna continue with some more WipeOut Fusion on PS2, I'll be live within the next 30 minutes. Also New Bag*

I think I'm just gonna play some more Metroid Prime 3, my excuse is I wanna show a more mid-game section in a furue @bghof.com Casual Monday Stream. The reason is I just wanna play more Metroid Prime
