Cleaned a cart for a future stream.

I can see why interactions are turned off but I have similar sentiments. They’re not for me, but people like them, they the ethos has seeped into things I like. I didn’t love the new PoP, 2-D Metroid and struggled with the demo for Castlevania that dropped last week because of brutal combat.

Well. Can’t say I expected to see a new @gameinformer.com at Chapters today.

Rolled credits on Star Fox Adventures on NSO. Beat it on GC a few times but haven’t played it in well over a decade and a half. I get the criticism, but I still think it’s a highly enjoyable Zelda-like. Would really like to see the alternate universe without the SF license attached.

I’ll be streaming Star Fox Adventures this evening at 7:30 PM NL time and talking about the upcoming Polka Dot Trot I’m doing this weekend to raise money for cancer research. Twitch.tv/blarcade

I think @rustyshackles.bsky.social did a great job with the redesign on mine.

Rolled credits on Wolverine with 90 percent of the trophies. Overall a well acted but predictable story in a wrapper that’s effectively a high budget movie game. If that’s good enough for you, you’ll enjoy it but most are best waiting for a price drop.

If I had a nickel for every time Insomniac made a super hero game where a friend/trusted mentor becomes the big bad, I would have 4 nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that they spent hundreds of millions of dollars to tell the same story 4 times.

Did I rebuy a game I bought months ago for a LEGO figure? Yes, yes I did. Also, when they do away with the cloth capes?

Nearly 25 years of Resident Evil films and we finally have one that captures the spirit of the franchise and what it’s like to play it. People showed up too!

If I had a nickel for every B-movie that’s around 90 minutes I watched this weekend with a scene of close up foot licking, I’d have 2 nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

Glad to see stuff like this. Now make the game available to everyone else easily!

Back in 2007, I bought DKR DS. Being a broke ass student, I traded it in for Lunar Knights when I realized it wasn’t a 1:1 port. Rebought it the weekend and just beat Wizpig 2.

I honestly can’t remember the last time I streamed and, don’t even have a date when I’ll feel up to it again. But, I make you this guarantee.

God I love this Donkey Kong set so much. Also, I love that in 2026 there’s a mass market Wart toy on the shelves.

A very bitter sweet purchase. Fighting games are a tough sell on a budget, and, I can’t say I’m a fan of Sony these days either.

A new @pnpgames.bsky.social drop. Metaphor for my landlord, Buck Bumble and a Toy Story 2 manual for me.

I hate the idea of it having a PS on it now but I love Astro Bot and it was $15 at EB.

You could say that after finishing DK Bananza earlier this year I went a little, well, bananas for Donkey Kong.

“In the works” with a release date. Have they learned nothing?

The Genesis ones were cool, but pre-we hate our players PlayStation speaks to me more. I need to find the MGS one.
