Stop what you’re doing and post a gif of your favorite anime.

I know it's Dec 27th, but I officially entered "the void" before Christmas this year. I'm temporarily emerging to wish you Happy Holidays. Even if you don't celebrate, I hope you take some time for yourself to rest and hopefully enjoy the comfort of friends, family, and good eats.

“How will you enter 2026?”

I still think this is the peak holiday fireplace DVD. #Christmas🎄

Home Hardware was always a big presence on TV at Christmas, promoting "gifts for dad" and their Christmas lighting selection. This ad got a lot of airplay back in '98! youtu.be/QUh6Oz_b8js

O Christmas Tree

Mega Man 11 (Switch) is $5.99 on the eShop https://buff.ly/3PQSj2e History: https://buff.ly/LszIGo2

Wow, @capcomusa.com came to play last night! I'm looking forward to Pragmata on Switch 2, RE:9, and - OF COURSE - Mega Man: Dual Override! They're even doing an old school Robot Master design contest. bsky.app/profile/capc...

KFC at Christmas isn't just for Japan! KFC Canada often had special meals for the holidays. Here's an ad for 1998's Merry Meal, which came with chocolate eclairs and Play-D'oh! youtu.be/FFXRtg3uh4I?...

I just donated to the @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social 2025 winter fundraiser. If you believe in video game history and are able to donate, I don't think you can find a better place to make an impact. givebutter.com/vghf-winter-...

I forgot to post this the other day, but Woody has once again risen.

In an effort to stop doomscrolling, I've been spending most of my free time recreating vintage trading card packaging. Hit the link for more: spacemonkeyx.com/2025/12/09/w...

It’s been way too long since putting out anything new over here, but: youtu.be/xClCaplW36g?... #marvel #cosmicinvasion

Watching some Christmas classics while I work today.

Quote this post with your top 4 Christmas albums 🎄 (Oddly enough, none of my top Christmas songs are on these albums. Oh, and it goes without saying that this list changes constantly...)

I grabbed the Grinchiest Meal from McDonald's yesterday. The big show here are the Who-Hash Bites (tater tots made from McDs hashbrowns 🤯) and sour cream & onion dip. It also comes with a drink, sandwich or McNuggets, and mismatched socks.

It's Giving Tuesday at the VGHF! We've had an incredible 2025, but we need your help to make sure we can continue doing our charitable work in 2026 and beyond. We just launched our annual Winter Fundraiser campaign, please give if you're able (and share this post!). http://gamehistory.org/donate

Happy December 1st! Take 30 seconds to bask in this Christmas commercial from 1998, featuring the Swiss Chalet Festive Special. youtu.be/UsLrQsa0grc

Some days you just need an entire bear's head filled with Timbits.

Introduce yourself with 5 concerts you’ve seen: Moist (my fave band) David Usher (lead singer of Moist, lost track of how many shows) The Tragically Hip (my first "big" concert, blew my mind) I Mother Earth (FUCK EDWIN! IYKYK) Bryan Adams (I got to fist bump him and I won't let anyone forget it)

To all my American friends, I hope you're having a wonderful Thanksgiving! Cheers to a great holiday season!

POISEN ME PLEASE - dashare.zone ADMIN

Donkey Kong Country turns 31 today (in North America)! I decided to play through it last week. I always associate the DKC games with the holidays, as I received the original trilogy on the SNES for three consecutive Christmases. It still slaps! #DonkeyKongCountry 🎮 #Christmas 🎄

“What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?” "Mercedes Five and Dime" by Moist. '99 was a year of weird albums for me, but "Mercedes" was my favourite. If I'm being honest, Matthew Good Band's "Beautiful Midnight" is probably more solid, end to end.

I'm glad to see Tim Hortons returning to form with this year's holiday cup!

It's a Chrismukkah miracle! #PepsiThrowback

I do love me a festive coffee cup and seeing The Grinch on my afternoon pick-me-up is pretty awesome.

I'll probably regret posting this at 2pm instead of night time, but I'm home with a sick kid so ya do what you can. This is what Vanilla Coke should always taste like in my opinion, there I saved you a click.... please click anyway though. youtu.be/eWsL8TnxJA8

UPDATE: The full sugar version tastes much "creamier". Too bad the zero sugar was so meh.

Looool, "Let's get ready to giallo!" #TheLastDriveIn #BattleForTheBlackGlove

Significant shrinkage.

I scored some Holiday Creamy Vanilla Coke! It kinda just tasted like regular Vanilla Coke to me, except the flavour definitely lingered longer on the backend. The zero sugar was just okay, IMO! Haven't tried the full sugar yet. #Christmas ⭐

This is absolutely worth the watch. I initially threw it on to listen to while I played some Switch 2 and I quickly put the game down and watched intently for two hours. So much cool "behind the curtain" info from the NES launch.

Well, in Whoville they say - that my waist grew three sizes that day... #Christmas 🎄

Another Halloween is in the books! The weather turned out great and the kids had a wonderful night for trick-or-treating. I hope you had a good night, as well! Happy Halloween!

Last EIGHT watched! Happy Halloween! 🎃 #LastFourWatched #Letterboxd #LetterboxdFriday #Halloween

Happy Halloween! I'm kicking off the day with my very last pumpkin coffee and Halloween II!

I hope you've all played Halloween Pac-Man at least once today! searchplayground.google/pacman/hallo...

This might've been the first big multiplayer game my friends and I got into. The precursor to many late Mario Kart 64 and Goldeneye 007 nights.
