1 not a cool way to do brand building, Namco! and 2 I guess I get the fell for it again award this time. Pac-Man MTBCCDE was... okay. Had some cool elements to it. Guild Wars 1 is still online, could Namco just keep this going? Make it free? www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2025-10...

Yeah … we all know a few of those.

Monolith Soft founded 26 years ago! What started as a breakaway studio from Square Enix with ~40 employees has grown to ~300 employees under Nintendo. They really left their mark on Switch with Xenoblade Chronicles 1/2/3/X and are currently developing an RPG for Switch 2.

REALLY like Frieren: Beyond Journey's End. I like the characters and interactions against the backdrop of the ideas and themes of the show. THAT said, S1 drops off quick when it runs out of Frieren ideas and diverts back to "anime" ideas. SO Slept through most of the last 8 episodes.

Another to keep eye on!

Eh, don't usually engage in these but... Sonic Adventure Pokemon Yellow F-Zero X and... despite having Spyro and Zelda OoT in there, I don't REALLY love any of the rest of those ones... Maybe Zelda to try again to discovery why people love it, or Parasite Eve to see what the big deal is.

youtu.be/gfqGqj2bFj8?... look like Intel is aware of and fixing a few major issues on their GPUs. I find it ironic they are one of the best values in… anything!

iBuyPower, Cyberpower, and Skytech have been killing it lately. They definitely aren't universally great, but you can get some good prices on a lot of their stuffs. I do wish they'd stop selling machines with certain GPUs in them. You still see some RX 6500 XTs. youtu.be/xXUEsqqzxG8?...

We have started a fundraiser to help our brother & friend Mel (Sega Lord X) & his family. Mel's sister is battling cancer again, and his mom has gone broke doing all she can to fight it. He did NOT ask us to do this, but we have to help our brother out! ♥ www.paypal.com/donate?campa...

A friend of mine, @stupidlyepic.bsky.social did some voice work for this one. Def have to check it out. Looks like a fun time. balbod.itch.io/zugtug-clean...

I talk to friends. I eat/sleep/breath games. We talk and eventually they catch up and go "There is no reason any game shouldn't run well on a PS5 or GeForce 5060." I don't mean to be smug or too up my own butt... but YES! I've been saying it for too long now to not get a little bitter.

Reposting some evergreen content hard-drive.net/hd/video-gam...

Splintered got it's claws into me pretty good. Though it's early access, I've got all the achievements and finished anything there is to finish. A short Dragon Quest 1-like romp that revolves around replaying it and randomizer mechanics. Need more! store.steampowered.com/app/3127000/...

Monster Hunter Stories 3 TGS Trailer! I honestly believe this is one of the best looking games Capcom has ever made. The visual style works so well. It releases on March 13, 2026 for Switch 2, PS5, Xbox Series, PC.

don't do it mika... hold back...

Two of my favorite streamers playing what I feel is a relatively unknown amazing shmup! Salamander 2 is one I ONLY know about because of Saralene.

I feel like IMMORTAL And the Death That Follows is going to do quite well for itself. Very cool looking. www.kickstarter.com/projects/wea...

Free Videogame! Eukariol Tales Origins. I don't know what it is, I just love freebies. :D store.steampowered.com/app/2482360/...

I was about to be like “Why is he offering it like it’s a multiplayer experience, is he just going to sit there and watch her play” and then mid-sentence I realized every single Xenoblade fan in the world would do that

Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 + Arcade Game Series (PS4) $10 via Walmart (Walmart+ Eligible). ow.ly/33nj50WXfBp

I think Honkai Star Rail physical might be one of the weirdest physical games I own. F2P Game as a service game on the disc, a bunch of cool merch. Nice collectable. $15 seemed like a nice "hey, I had/am having fun. Here's $15 for a tip."

Videogame skill is such a weird moving target. People see me play Mega Man and go "hey, your good at games." Then they play Silksong or like... Adventure Island and I'm like "wow, that's amazing! I can't do that!" :D

Why isn't Vash the Stampede in Fortnite... ?

sigh... yup.

I couldn't help myself, don't take it seriously

"An almost good idea." That's a great way to put it. I wish we'd just get a Chevy Sonic or some such that doesn't suck/is more reliable... Perhaps a Honda Fit that has a lower price? youtu.be/An10Gy2XD9o?...

Do we need more emulation consoles? Well, no, probably not. This one looks like it has a lot of potential. A lot of controller options for many odd retro platforms. TONS of games included, some bit of a surprise. Hooks up to monitors, and yes... I'm told they quietly let you "run your own games."

BLUESKY GIVEAWAY: - 1 Bigscreen Beyond 2e: @vrchat.com Edition (no 10 years of VRC+, sorry). As long as Bigscreen can ship to you, you're eligible. RULES: - must be following me on Bluesky - must RT this post you must be comfortable with me ordering it for you!

He's thinking about microplastics

I think about this stock image a lot and how it presaged modern llms

Oh, wow. New Gundam might actually be really good. First episode is great! I'm looking forward ot this one! The last Gundam I watched was 00, which was solid but not mind blowing. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_...

Which one might surprise you.

New free Double Dragon game for Neo Geo? Yes, please. Spoiler, this looks REALLY good! ozzyouzo.itch.io/double-dragon

I saw all our videos bomb and could not find out why despite a LOT of searching and contemplation. Turns out, YouTube threw a killswitch on ALL OF YOUTUBE called Restricted Mode, and it keeps you from seeing the VAST MAJORITY OF VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE. Check your YT account & turn off Restricted Mode!!

Don't see enough beginners leagues/tournaments. Should be fun and quite different from comically high level play. Go watch some Super Turbo.

ONE-STAR HEROES: playing bad games all day to pay my bills! (part 2) twitch.tv/rachelretro

Imagine being a team of 3 developers and releasing a game where the population of a large city is playing your game all at once, and still growing.

Sometimes I see decent PC prebuilds. It's RARE, but IBuyPower has something good here at this pricing. Decent motherboard, Ryzen 8700F, Radeon RX 7700 XT 16GB, 32GB of ram. No red flags, no weird show stoppers. The reviewers I watched didn't even find any bloatware! www.walmart.com/ip/seort/135...

I know this is a little bit of an older post but still! If you haven't checked out Swordbird Song, you owe it to yourself to give it a playthrough. It got beautiful art and is a really fun Zelda-Like! Short but very good.

I may have some thoughts about the game itself... but at least the animation they did for it is rad. youtu.be/5ocBa8jTXUA?...

Indies going all in on the "it might be NES" jRPGs and I'm all for it! Another demo that makes me very happy. Built in randomizer mode too. store.steampowered.com/app/3127000/...

Tomorrow!

(Special thanks to @jeremybaker.actor for inspiring Barney's follow-up)

Demo of the night. I dont even like Shinobi and this is GREAT fun. I'm not good at the combat, but it flows so nicely and makes me FEEL like a ninja. Where my (good) Naruto adventure and platformer games at?!! store.steampowered.com/app/2361770/...

Crescent Tower feels like Final Fantasy NES meets Mystery Dungeon. Dislike a few things about it, but nothing that will stop me from playing it. Enjoying the idea of abilities intended to be used on the map, not just in combat or for healing. Loving it so far! store.steampowered.com/app/3524160/...
