Since I first saw this guy he reminded me of someone famous... took me a while to place it but I think I figured it out! Guy looks like he might know how to give an alien a cold!

So I made a comment as a joke on another post, a picture of Fred Durst, just simply stating that "Fred Durst is the Paul McCartney of my generation" and the amount of hate that has attracted is hilarious, but a little disturbing...

Now that it's coming to an end... who else bought a bunch of games on the KNOWING that they might not get around to playing them any time soon?

I ordered a new mailbox the other day, it's supposed to be here today via FedEx.... Awkward... it's like Doordashing Pizza Hut in your Dominos delivery car.

Just got the splints out from my sinus surgery and all I can think is.... holy cow! People actually breath THIS easily? I've had a blocked sinus my entire life and had no idea how this was going to feel, but I have no regrets!

16/06/2024

So I got the Dead Space Remake for Father's Day (killer deal on Steam right now at like $18) and holy cow is this a crazy good game! Scary as hell too! Or I'm a we**ie! 🤣 Treat the gamer dad in your life to a heart attack if he hasn't played this one!

Had surgery yesterday to get my sinuses cleaned out and deviated septum fixed... not a fun recovery so far lol. At least I can still game!

More prep work for the next video! Come share some memories from Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 2 with me!

When a lot of people think back to their best memories of action sports games they likely go straight to Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, but for me, there was anothe...

Ya know, it's the small victories that count, and today I had my most exciting small victory yet. My first long form video to crack 1,000 views! My Army Men Sarge's Heroes 2 video crept right up there and continues to spread. Thank you everyone who checked it out and I hope to keep providing you with more nostalgic retro content!

I got so close with a previous video that reached 950 views and then fell flat on its face. Restricted. Turns out it really is best to control my foul mouth until deeper into the video! Lol!

Going live on YouTube! Re-playing Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 2!

Everyone used to play the Tony Hawk games back in the day, but how many of you had the pleasure of playing as Slim Jim Guy in this absolute gem of a game? I remember taking turns with my brother and sister for hours on end, seeing who could rack up the highest score, or building custom parks to either set yourself up for insane records, massive combos, or outrageous crash damage scores. On top of that this game had one of the best soundtracks of my entire childhood! I absolutely love this one.

New video up on YouTube where I reminisce this gem of a game! Check it out and make sure to tune into my future livestreams to hang out while I play through my next subject! Still deciding on the next game, but should have my mind made up by tonight!

I can't get enough of these modern games that look and feel retro. Finished Axiom Verge last night. What an experience!

18/05/2024

The harder the better! I love those games where you can feel yourself getting just a tiny bit better with every attempt. I love putting in the reps to get good at the games that people say are just too hard. But what I REALLY love is exploring those vast maps and finding the abilities that uncover secrets and open paths... what's your favorite genre?

15/05/2024

Man. I don't consider myself anti Xbox, but I am pretty disgusted with their market approach. Big companies buying "small" or "smaller" companies is NEVER good for anyone. I don't even know where we end up if this trend continues, but I hope it doesn't.

14/05/2024

600! That's awesome! Thank you all for supporting me! I appreciate every one of you, every like, comment, share, or anything is always so nice to see!

With their recent statement about advertisements in AAA games, it's not shocking that people are referring to as the corporate monster of the gaming industry. Knowing how profit driven industries work, they won't be advertisements in the form of clever Easter eggs pushing us from one game to another, or just products appearing in games the way they do in movies, but blatant interruptions of gameplay in order to make us watch something we really don't want to see, or even care about anyway. On top of that, are we talking about seeing ads in FULL priced games? Are they gonna ask us for a subscription to not have to see those ads? I just don't get it.

For me, it's even more confirmation of my growing love for indie games. These are the people building games from their hearts. The people who go home at night and actually PLAY games.

It makes me wonder how many of the higher ups that make these decisions actually play video games and enjoy them...

To be even more specific, indie metroidvanias. Hollow Knight started it, and I've been down a rabbit hole ever since. These games literally give me THAT feeling. That gamer feeling we all talk about, that we got when we were kids the first time we played Ocarina, or Super Mario 64, or Goldeneye. I thought that that feeling was only achievable through nostalgia, but then I stumbled upon a handful of games that gave me that very same feeling that were not only NOT from my childhood, but games I'd never played or even heard of. These indie devs have heart man. There are some of these little studious out here straight up KILLING it right now. They're bringing back what the big devs have loooong forgotten. Fun, adventurous, exciting games. There's so much beauty in that passion for gaming, and you can really see it in their work.

That skeleton is spitting some fire.... honestly the thirty minutes to an hour I get to sneak in for working on my videos every once in a while is just the best. It may not seem like it but I am still working on stuff. The struggle is really real.

Had back surgery this morning. Guys, if you hurt yourself it doesn't matter how old you are. Get it checked out. 17 years I've dealt with back pain because I was a dumb teen who didn't want to go to the doctor. It WILL catch up to you.

15/03/2024

So my posts have slowed a little, and while I really want to get back to posting weekly I also want to nail down my video quality, which is what I'm working on. Please bear with me while I work on that skill. Appreciate all you who keep on checking out my videos! It means more than you can imagine!

10/03/2024

This is awesome! Great news! I'll have something to watch while I wait for Silksong news! Haha!

02/03/2024

You gotta give those retro games a free pass, they were pioneering new worlds at the time! Besides, not like anything can be done about those bugs now! No excuses for those AAA devs!

Honestly though I'd just like to see modern devs slow down and polish things a little better, even if they took some focus off of graphics and used it on gameplay or making sure everything worked.

What do you guys think? More development with less focus on graphics? Or are you fine with patches and bug fixes?

No wrong answers here, all opinions are welcome.

Recently did a 100% run on this and as such it was the perfect time to make a video! Let me know what you think!

Take a trip down memory lane with retro 3D platforming royalty! Feel the nostalgia as we revisit Super Mario Sunshine - a strange yet delightfully charming a...

28/02/2024

Everyone raves about Super Mario 64 but I always loved Super Mario Sunshine too! Both games were great but this one was so beautiful compared to its predecessor. I loved F.L.U.D.D. as a sidekick and I couldn't get enough of the haunted Hotel Delfino. This game was the first game I ever 100% completed and it will always stick with me for that. The only thing is... well... I can't stand Bowser Junior!!! Not his fault, I just always thought the existing Koopa Kids could have made the game way better than he did! What do you think? Which is better, Sunshine or 64? Bowser Junior or the Koopa Kids?

This is the best performing video I've posted to date and I'm so glad that it's doing well! I love doing this youtube thing and getting to the point where more than one person watched my videos was tough, getting to ten was tougher, 50 even more so and I never thought I'd start cracking a hundred yet here we are! I can't believe that I'm finally starting to find my way in this thing. I know that my next video may not get these numbers, or the next one, or however many it takes to beat this one, but it's all about the reps and trying to get a little better each time, and I'll tell you right now, I love putting in these reps!

Since it IS the Superbowl, here's another good game where you didn't have to know or like the subject to have a bit of fun with it! Tecmo Bowl for the NES was simple, fun, and accessible to anyone, even if you aren't a big football fan. This game is available everywhere these days- the Switch, phones, tablets, retro mini consoles, online, you name it! I'm not a big football fan, but I've always got time for a quick game of Tecmo Bowl!
