NOOB REPAIR RETURNS! Here's my full DIY custom controller with a purple paint job and Super Castlevania IV overlay! Shout out to Russ Lyman for the advice! youtu.be/LnPwnuF12rk?...

Hey, I did a thing! Noob Repair DIY video coming soon!

Doing a thing.

So after over a week of searching, I FINALLY found the Outlands Storm and Weapon X Marvel Legends figures thanks to a very helpful employee. Love the retro cardstock! I remember previously owning the classic ToyBiz Weapon X figure!

Here's a quick update regarding the month of October for the channel! www.patreon.com/posts/140794...

I'll be streaming/capturing some footage for Castlevania The Adventure tonight! Come join me in like an hour! www.youtube.com/live/tPIZhDm...

I'm making some personal health changes in my life. Completely cutting out fast food. No more late night eating. I already cut soda out. Going for walks as much as I can. My goal is 2-3 lbs a month with an overall goal of at least 50 lbs. I need to lose and KEEP the weight off.

Went to two different Target stores looking for the supposedly in stock Marvel Legends Weapon X and Storm Outlands figures. Nobody could find them despite it saying in stock lol I was told the overnight crew will most likely put them out. The hunt continues...

Happy #Castlevania month! Is @konamina.bsky.social torturing us or teasing us? Let's talk about this, and the most recent Wai Wai World announcement. youtu.be/a9gCdehzACw

Appropriate. Happy October, Y'all!

This was probably the earliest example, for me personally, of stories where I KNEW there had to be a bigger story behind it. I remember reading about this in magazines back in the day. Glad the truth has finally come out!

One thing I truly miss from the 90s? Edgy Advertising from game companies. There was so much allure and excitement behind the buzz words and edginess. Now when a console comes out it's, "here's the consoles, here's the games....blah." companies kicked your FACE in back then!

It's so bullshit that strategy guides are now only being produced as part of overpriced special editions.

Been burning the candle at both ends as of late and of course it resulted in me getting sick. I've been watching videos all weekend of people sharing their tributes/goodbyes to Billy. One in particular resonated with me and I decided to reach out them to make amends. 1/2

Welp, it took me 8-9 MONTHS but I FINALLY beat Ys VIII Lacrimosa of Dana. Mixed feelings on this one. Disliked the ending, too much padding, but I loved the combat, characters and music. This honestly coulda been 20 hours shorter.

If you missed yesterday's video, it's Sunday morning. Still a good time to watch! It's not like you've got anything going on during your Sunday, right?

Had to rep some Iria/Zeiram for today's review release day!

Stopped by a store local to me this morning that is only open every other weekend and grabbed all this for $50. The Zelda guides have the posters but more importantly, this Excalibur trade was apparently signed by Chris Claremont and Arthur Adams!! What a find!!! It was $5!

NEW REVIEW! Time travel back with me to the age of anime Saturday Mornings on Sci-Fi Channel. Remember #Iria Zeiram the Animation? Lemme show you a PS1 Janky Beat-Em-Up called ZEIRAM ZONE, based on the Zeiram IP! youtu.be/MNed1mNOHy4

Happy Anniversary to #Castlevania! The FDA version celebrates its 39th year today!

NEW VIDEO! You do not need to buy $80 games Reject FOMO, forget about tariffs, who needs economics when there have always been games that cared about your wallet. It’s me Derek and I’m here to talk recent & old examples of games that were a bargain on day-one! www.youtube.com/watch?v=7K7L...

PICKUPS! Took advantage of Gamestop's mega sale on amiibos to get some i didn't have. Also, SILENT HILL F! Congrats to @konamina.bsky.social on the release of a brand new Silent Hill! Sadly, the steelbook didn't ship yet. This is the first Silent Hill game I've ever bought brand new!

Fell down a rabbit hole of comments making identity politics out of the Wolverine game trailer and I don't wanna live on this planet anymore. Can we all go one fucking second without making EVERYTHING into a divide?! How do people seriously take themselves seriously?

Beastie Boys Del the Funky Homosapien Busta Rhymes Tribe Called Quest Tech N9ne

Very excited about this one. When the full game releases, expect a video on it from yours truly!

This whole back and forth in this thread is toxic as fuck. Here's the deal. Classic Mega Man makes me happy. I've beaten every single classic Mega Man game and I would honestly play new MMC games with slightly tweaked gameplay/villains until I'm dead and buried. 1/4

Ok....IF a new Castlevania game is getting announced this year, it's happening at either the State of Play, or as a surprise during TGS. I'm extremely doubtful but we'll see how it goes.

I was a guest on the Retro Ridoctopus podcast where we chat about hard video games! Give it a listen! retro-ridoctopus.pinecast.co/episode/0d30...

Oh hey, I've been busy! New review incoming! Peep the title card on the latest update! patreon.com/posts/139563...

I'm pretty sure GameStop disconnected all their phone lines in their stores. I was looking for a specific item that the store found in another store. I called the other store while I was there, not realizing I called the store I was in and no phone rang. Every store I've called doesn't pick up.

MAIL CALL! I've literally never seen a Contra Shattered Soldier display so I had to scoop it up! They go right on your TV! Also, signed IGA Harmony of Dissonance postcard to add to the Castlevania collection and a fun Castlevania book I saw at Russ Lyman's place that I ordered!

I think I just ate my first and LAST bagel bite at 42 years old. Pizza needs to leave bagels the fuck alone.

Oh SICK! Can't wait to give this a go!

Retro World Expo is in the bag and I'm here to share stories about my time this weekend and show off some of my pickups! youtu.be/SyCqLY_AGyM?...

I did something I never thought I was going to do yesterday. I actually pre-ordered the new Silent Hill game! I have literally never purchased a Silent Hill game brand new but the new one looks incredible.

Just put up a new shirt on my TeePublic store! Using the art from my Sonia Belmont Retrospective (courtesy of @dextermorrill.bsky.social) it's the #JusticeForSonia shirt! Show your support for this non-canon Castlevania Belmont heroine! And right now it's on sale! www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/8040...

Working from the warehouse all week for a change of pace.

Welp, Retro World Expo is over. I had an absolute BLAST and had some good hangs and great pickups. Video coming soon!

Retro World Expo Day 2!

Hi. Don't pay $30-100 for a way to recreate the Virtual Boy when you can just buy a cheap pair of stereoscopic glasses. I talked about this ages ago in Noob Repair Episode 15. youtu.be/G8bQBDvs1aQ?...

Absolutely INCREDIBLE show last night! I saw Bruce Dickinson live, after waiting for over 20 years to see his solo act. They did not disappoint.

Friendly reminder...some of your favorite creators on YouTube are having their content made invisible thanks to this shitty Restriction Mode. Here's how you can turn it off.

My youngest daughter got this sticker sheet as a prize at a birthday party and made a derpy Peach.

Here's a brand new short for ya! Did you know the origins of the music in the Castlevania 64 beta, called Dracula 3D? This video gives you the skinny on the source of the music! youtube.com/shorts/APCtL...

Look, far be it from me to yuck anyone's yum, but people making such a big deal out of Silksong's price is a little silly. The developer is indie and has a few games to their name. 4 mostly forgettable games prior to Hollow Knight. "OMG it's $20!" So what?
