We've been watching Excel Saga on my discord for Animondays and honestly I'm enjoying it way more than I thought I would. It's an absolutely ridiculous show with an insanely catchy intro theme.

Saw Transformers The Movie on the big screen. I was only 3 when it came out in 86 so I never saw it (Plus I was always more of a He-Man guy back then.) Absolutely got misty eyed at the tribute at the beginning to the legendary Peter Cullen who recently passed. Until all are one.

ANNOUNCEMENT‼️This coming Monday, I kick off a week long celebration on my channel. To start, I'm excited to reveal that back around February 2026, I interviewed Kinuyo Yamashita, 1 of 2 original composers for the very first Castlevania! Stay glued to the channel, 12 PM EST!♥️+🔁

One of my absolutely least favorite things to do is chase people down. It's like my biggest pet peeve. Even if I'm doing someone a favor or they're doing me a favor, if we agree to terms, I make it happen for them. They should do the same for me and if they can't, we need to re-work or cancel things

Does anyone else remember these little mini ninjas? They used to be in toy store vending machines. I used to collect them and for whatever reason, I've been thinking about them more and more lately.

In the aftermath of Retro World Expo, I finally beat Donkey Kong Country Returns HD! Man, what a tough game! But very rewarding. Playing as Dixie Kong made the game infinitely better. She was always my favorite.

Hard to believe it's been 25 years since 9-11, a day I'll never forget. I was a freshman in college. I just got out of science class. Someone ran over, said a plane hit the WTC. I ran back to my dorm, every room doors open as we watched the second plane hit. It's still so tragic.

I'm very happy with the ability for newer generations to experience the Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake but honestly? I have no interest in it. I want to remember OoT exactly the way I experienced it when it first came out. Remakes of classic games are typically a tough sale to me.

We just wrapped on GANTZ on my Discord channel for Animondays. Holy shit, that was such an awful show. I'm glad we're done with it but like...I need to scrub my brain of it. Next Monday we're starting Excel Saga.

I've spent entirely too much time trying to pre-order the Belmont's Curse steelbook AND the tarot card. I'm so pissed, it's pretty much sold out everywhere. I'll be ranting about this in a future video for sure.

Interesting stuff in the Konami Press Start presentation. We got a glimpse at some more boss type characters in Belmont's Curse. Gameplay really pops! Excited! Also that 1920's Jazz influenced action game really felt like it began life as a Castlevania 3D title. Vibes. Love it!
