Well it's time to celebrate a 20th anniversary with a livestream. We have 4 anniversaries left to celebrate this year all [roughly] at the same time, We had a poll on which one to start with and the winner was Æon Flux. youtube.com/live/WO3DMcO...

The results are in! We'll be checking out Æon Flux first, which I'm keen to check out as I've never played or seen footage of the game before. (I have vague recollections of the movie and series it's based on) Tune into the stream tomorrow (19/11/2025 @ 5pm GMT+10): www.youtube.com/live/WO3DMcO...

I'm quite a bit late on getting this one out, but better late than never??? I've been fiddling with some editing that will hopefully make the cleaning videos more interesting. Let me know what you think. youtu.be/mEc9E1vd2ZY

So I kind of forgot that Bluesky doesn't have polls. So I guess I'll try this awkward link to the Youtube poll. We have four options for our next 20th Anniversary to celebrate, vote for which one you want to see first! youtube.com/post/UgkxLl8...

I had planned to stream The Matrix: Path of Neo this week, but my game freezes before it can load the main menu. Though my copy of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) works and shares its 20th anniversary with Path of Neo. However I'm not feeling well, so I won't be streaming this week...

Silk Soar has been renamed to.... Tumbles. Our cute lil guy has taken over the name of the games and released the demo from PAXAus, including the new skill trees. Try it out, Wishlist and spread the name of Tumbles! #indiegames #Tumbles #Wishlist #games store.steampowered.com/news/app/327...

Well boy howdy I was right, I do really like From Russia with Love. Fortunately I still have more of it to play today, so come join me as we play the second half of the game for it's 20th Birthday. youtube.com/live/YE2ensj...

In a few minutes I'll be going live over on Youtube to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of 007: From Russia with Love. Considering I almost didn't stop playing it when I was making sure my disc was working, I think I'm going to really vibe with this one. youtube.com/live/PDJkqRp...

Hey, if it helps, at least the PS3 and Nintendo Wii aren't turning 20 years old this year! ...they both turn 20 years old NEXT year.

Happy HalloWii’n! 🎃

So we didn't quite get to finish Chicken Little last stream, so the stream tonight will be a short one as we get through the last few levels and see what else we might be able to unlock. We'll also be starting it a bit later at 6:30pm (GMT+10). youtube.com/live/jYfgfrE...

Depending on your region of the world, I'm a smidge late to checking out Chicken Little on the PS2 for it's 20th Anniversary. But better late than never! Starting now-ish youtube.com/live/44kKnlp...

After what feels like a hecking long break from streaming, somehow I have returned. However I'm somewhat behind on a bunch of 20th anniversaries. So plenty of catching up to do, starting with Chicken Little (released Oct 18th 2005). Stream starts at 28th Oct 5pm GMT+10 youtube.com/live/44kKnlp...

I spoke to a few talented developers while at #PaxAus2025, @sassifrasi.bsky.social was no exception. We had the opportunity for a quick chat about @stouthearted.bsky.social's upcoming game: #SilkSoar #paxaus #indiegame youtu.be/PS-fb1Tgvn4

My book, Aliens: The Video Games, goes beyond officially licensed titles, including fan games, unofficial tie-ins and, hmm, inspired experiences, from the 20th and 21st centuries. Published next year. Pre-orders, soon.

Life may have gotten in the way a bit of my ability to stream the past few weeks, but I've not been entirely idle either. Figured I'd show off some acquisitions I've made during my break.

While at PAX AUS last week I managed to borrow Jack from Devil Juice games for a quick chat about their upcoming game Rob & Roll: youtu.be/m_O4GJz5By0 #paxaus #indiedev

No streams again this week. PAX Aus snuck up on me, and I will be travelling to it later in the week. Figured I would push the streams back another week. The upside though is that I've invested in some recording equipment so I can make a video about all the cool people and their cool stuff.

I was supposed start up the streams again last week, but life uhh found a way... to get in the way. Anyhoo I figured it was high time I stepped out into other platforms for movie tie-ins. So this week we're going back to the PS1 with Alien Trilogy. (30/09 5pm GMT+10) www.youtube.com/live/pU17QsH...

New Cleaning Video! It's a little late to the party because I've already streamed it, but hey life can be like that. Happy 20th Anniversary to @frontierdev.bsky.social's Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit! (PS2, Xbox) youtu.be/kIu1sIgno4g

NEW VID www.youtube.com/watch?v=92Ne... A complete breakdown of EVERY PSP game that connected with PS2/3: From small things like cross-saving, to a PSP spin-off's save data totally changing every mission in its console counterpart. Nobody's put em all in one spot before. Please clap (and share!)

Who needs fancy reflections and raytracing when you can have THIS! Peak realism in mirror technology! 😎

We're doing the thing again... to be more specific we're continue to play The Thing (2002) on the ps2. We killed some things, some of our friends were things... surely it couldn't happen again this time right... www.youtube.com/live/0RdaFFX...

It's time to figure out which thing is The Thing in The Thing (2002), a video game sequel to The Thing (1982), not to be confused with The Thing (2011)... Oh boy that's a lot of things. We're playing the PS2 version rather than the recent remaster. youtube.com/live/I_vsAzJ...

I recently played through Batman Begins on the channel. Minimme has been a huge inspiration in wanting to start my channel. If you don't already know him, I can't recommend him highly enough

With about a month to kill until the next 20th Anniversary, it's time to decide the next game I cover. The choices are down to Piglet's Big Game (2003), and The Thing (2002)...

So I got off my butt to put together a fancier spreadsheet of my collection. We're currently searching for games released before 2005 to play while we await the 20th for Curse of the Were-Rabbit next month. Have a squizz and let me know if you want have any requests: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

After a few weeks break, I'm back with another 20th anniversary. This time it's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) to have the birthday. Join me as I celebrate it! youtube.com/live/3ovZmQ4...

There’s a new Kickstarter coming from @2old4gaming.bsky.social soon! This one covers the history of the PSP. Check it out here and get notified when it launches. (I also contributed some articles to it!) www.kickstarter.com/projects/2o4...

Believe it or not, but I am still alive, I even have quite the backlog of games to catalogue for my collection. I should be back to streaming from next week as we do have a 20th anniversary for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to celebrate.

Me when someone tells me they want to start collecting retro games.

Made a few purchases today, those that have been following my backlog may recognise them... I'm keen to give Constantine and Van Helsing a first-time watch so I can write up a comparison to the games.

Unfortunately there will be no stream from me this week, new job is kicking my bottom a bit. However the good news is that my copy of Fantastic 4 arrived in the mail today, so we're all set for it's 20th birthday stream next week.

Going live right now! We continue celebrating Batman Begins' impending 20th birthday by playing through the second half of the PS2 game. The first half was pretty good, let's see if it it can stick the landing: youtube.com/live/DZvm94t...

This week we're celebrating [albeit a little early] the 20th Anniversary for Batman Begins on the Playstation 2. Starting things off with both a quick cleaning video, and in about 10 minutes a livestream of actually playing the damn thing. On real hardware too. Batman Becleans youtu.be/Eqj6O8nxbg4

Hey everyone, this week we're playing the tie in game for The Sum of All Fears (2002). I haven't seen the film, I haven't read the book, so let's find out if the game can do it any justice... youtube.com/live/I3_6fPD...

The Making Of: PS2, The World's Most Successful Video Game Console.

20 Years ago the movie tie-in for Constantine (2005) released on Playstation 2, Xbox, and Windows. It was developed by Bits Studios. It was met with mixed to average reviews, and it would be Bit Studios second last release before their parent company sold all its assets and technology in 2008.

I love old videogames I love collecting them But I learned that I love the preservation aspect, so I purposefully buy the copies of games in terrible condition that I can fix up. It extends the hobby, and its so much cheaper

Excited to finally add @pixelsandpolygons.net's 32 Bit Library books to my collection. My focus is on PS2 games but I still have a great fondness for the earlier console, and in future intend to expand my PS1 collection. No doubt diving into these will inspire me to do so sooner rather than later.

PlayStation network is down you say? Not in this house. 😏
