Sorry that I've been quite the last while. Busy times at the expo. There were lots that I was tempted in, but left alone since I'm going to another convention in May where I have more plans there for what I'll spend. But I did find a PSP wishlist game for a nice price!

Day 2 of Expo. Holding out on big buys for tomorrow, but found some nice games

Day 1 of the Calgary Expo

Finished the first three chapters on Fire Emblem Engage and enjoying it so far! Obviously very early on still, but the combat is fun and the game is very pretty to look at. Also, I really like the design of female Alear so I went with her

There are many JRPGs that get overlooked, many of which I still need to play myself. Today, I look at 10 older JRPGs that I have played and beaten before that I feel get criminally overlooked youtu.be/Rx7oI5VkcOw

I've made up my mind, my next long JRPG is going to be Fire Emblem Engage. I haven't played a FE game in a long time and since this one tends to be controversial, I figure if I play this one before playing highly regarded ones like Three Houses, I may end up really enjoying this

I feel like I have another level of appreciation playing video games lately. I think part of it is that so many series/consoles have big anniversaries this year that I'm playing so many different types of games new and old, along with staying away from the negativity of some

Now that I've taken a little break and played some shorter games, I'm ready for another long JRPG. These are the four I've chosen for one to be my next playthrough. Now I've put about 10 hours into Hundred Line before, but the others I haven't played too much yet

How well can I guess video games from just one frame? Let's find out in my latest video! youtu.be/vwonwOUn1pY

I occasionally think about my time going to community college. I dropped out of high school, so went back for upgrading in 2016 (I was 25 at the time). My favourite part was seeing the massive age group range in class. Some were young, while a few were 60+. Just loved seeing that

Just finished Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom! This was a silly, fun platformer collectathon. Definitely had that N64/PS1 vibe as mostly fun to play, but of course, its got to have those awkward camera angles at times if it wants to pay homage to those types of games lol

It sucks when you put out a video that you're excited to share your thoughts and experiences on, and not only does it flop hard, but makes people unsubscribe too. I hope it picks up, and other videos too, cause now every video I've been uploading, the subs keep decreasing

A while back, I played and finished Tales of Phantasia for the first time. Here are my overall thoughts on it youtu.be/Ts6VHiPhG18

After having the cops and fire department break into my neighbors apartment right across from me, it wasn't a good night yesterday, so I'm treating myself with pizza from Inglewood Pizza

I dyed my hair red, so I'm in the Asbel Lhant outfit. Okay, so the colours aren't exactly right, but it'll do for now. Also, I definitely don't have enough hair right now to style it like Asbel haha

I hate it when streaming and someone comes in, follows you, you're having a fun conversation, but then it turns into "I'm an artist so pay me to create stuff for your channel" and when you say you're good, they leave and unfollow you. That is not how you should go about marketing

When it came to Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties, I wasn't sure how I would feel about it since I know they cut lots from the original game. But after playing a few hours of it, I'm having a good time. Yes, I would like everything to still be here, but the new stuff they added is fun

Just finished Pokémon Legends: Z-A on stream! Lots of fun, the most fun I've had with a modern Pokémon game (though Pokopia may take its place). I do still need to do the epilogue and maybe DLC if I buy it, but the base game is done!

Now that I finished some of my long RPGs that I was trying to get through, I have now finished Tiger Chainsaw's game Maiden of the Dark. For a studio's first title, this was a short, but tough action platformer. Very solid game

Happy Easter everyone!

I hate sinus headaches. Today is the Calgary Video Game Nerd Sale, but I definitely cannot go as it just be too much

The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak II is done! Glad to be finished this one as I love the series, but this is the only one I really didn't enjoy. Just dragged so much without adding much to the overall story

Want to take pictures of cats in a video game? Well here you go. A preview of an upcoming cozy game, Cat Me If You Can, allows you to do just that youtu.be/zXkMUI_hIO8

Finally on the last chapter of Trails through Daybreak II!!

There's other, shorter games I want to play, but I'm determined to finally get through Trails through Daybreak II

Even though I sometimes don't get the best results doing them, I love putting in so much time and effort into my collection videos. The memories of talking about my favourites, while also discovering ones that I haven't played yet is so much fun

Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising is finished! This is actually one I started months ago, but now finished story mode. Great 2D fighter with fun RPGish story mode, but just like all fighting games now these days, it annoys me how many fighters are locked behind DLC

Man, it's been years since I last played FF XIV and so I am starting over since I don't really remember anything about it. I may stream this one day and if anyone would like to join me, let me know

There are so many amazing series celebrating big anniversaries this year that I've been replaying lots of old titles recently. Playing the first Zelda for the first time in years and it's still so much fun!

And Tales of Phantasia: Narikiri Dungeon X is finished! I'm glad I finally played the first Tales game (though this is the PSP version). This was so fun to play through! Some minor annoyances, but not too bad. Excited for my next JRPG adventure!

Man I want to record and stream, but haven't felt the greatest for a bit (probably due to the weather going up and down) along with there's been so much construction happening in my area that it's tough to find a moment of quiet

I don't care if someone hates localization or English dubs. We have many different options now for people to consume these pieces of media and it's great to have so many different interests. But why can't we just allow those to enjoy media the way they want to?

Maiden of the Dark has made its way north of the border! Come check out my short unboxing from Tiger Chainsaw youtube.com/shorts/l5Wjj...

For #Mar10Day I decided to do a short on the very first video game I played in my Why I Bought series youtube.com/shorts/hxAhO...

Man, Gen 6 consoles had the BEST licensed games of any generation, just between the 007 and LotR games, and The Simpsons: Hit & Run. One of the most underrated is Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas: Oogie's Revenge. Loved this one!

My YouTube videos almost always perform like this. The first 2 days are really bad, and then by day 3, much more engagement

Sorry, no Pokopia right now for me. I still have Z-A to finish. Come hangout! www.twitch.tv/totallevelyt

Probably the weirdest thing I do for game collecting is even if the game is basically the same on other consoles, if the game is cheap enough, I will buy it again on multiple systems still

Haven't been able to sit down and play much of Tales of Phantasia lately, but found time today

Some pickups today

Mafia: The Old Country is done! Had fun with this one, even though the story was cliched and predictable. Beautiful game too

Finished Wall-E (PS2 version) and it wasn't too bad. Some levels were a little long and tedious, but it was a surprisingly solid licensed game. Also interesting that Asobo Studio did this version, where they eventually went on to make A Plague Tale games

I love when people get to discover me through one of my early videos on the channel. The Ys 8 vs Ys 9 video too was my breakout video to first hit 10K views. And I 100%, so much more improved (as I hope my videos would over the years lol)

To celebrate 30 years of Pokémon, I decided to share some of my memories with this monster catching craze. I do wonder if this series has caught on at all 🤔 youtu.be/HyW-NBOgRdM

Super excited that my copy of UFO 50 from @vgp-videogamesplus.bsky.social has arrived! Got cool Super Rare Games too with Atomik Run-Gun-Jump-Run and Will You Snail?

Man, why do people go nuts over Metacritic scores? Like I'm glad the game performs well on all platforms, but for people saying that the Switch 2 version is vastly superior with a 90 instead of PS5 88 when there are over 100 critic reviews for PS5 vs 12 for Switch 2

There's many great games I still have to play and that makes me so excited!!

Played more Trails through Daybreak 2 and finally got through the Fragments chapter. This was such a draggy chapter, but at least it has me interested for everything that happened at the end of it

Just finished Iron Man on the 360. I do have a guilty pleasure with licensed games so you will see me finish a few probably this year. Very mediocre game and finished it in 2.5 hours. Still some fun though
