Decided to do the #my9games thing. Hard to pick just 9, but these are all stone cold classics in my book

The 9 games that shaped me. Everquest, Final Fantasy 1, Space Quest 3, Final Fantasy Legend 2, Crystalis, Master of Orion, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Space Quest 6, and Phantasy Star 4

I saw that! Well deserved praise

It's always been a good time to be, but lately it's been a great time to be a PS Vita owner. So many ports.

You should go pre-order this. One of the greatest musicians and kindest people I know

Saw Legend for the first time ever last night and all I could think the entire time was...

Finally finished the last little bit of the Hyperion Cantos. Brilliant series for fans of introspective space operas. Beautifully done.

My old man bought a fancy Nakamichi receiver, a nice CD player, and some Klipsch speakers specifically to listen to that album.

Playing the new Quake episode and *someone* played Dusk before (not a bad thing!)

We all broke good ~15 years ago because they were offering media in a format that was convenient for a reasonable price. Now it's as bad as cable ever was, so...

I figured you probably already did, but have you talked to our pickled k-9 friend? That seems like something he'd have in his collection

I saw a local business advertising their involvement in "art week" with AI slop. I had a visceral reaction to that one. The lack of shame they have.

I need to record guitar today, but the tone is super fuzzy

As someone who has seen your standup a number of times, it's always funny as hell, and I'm glad you're getting back out there and doing it again

I've also learned that my PS4 is the perfect size to be a Sega Genesis stand. Elevates it to a proper height to be viewed as the king it is

It goes nicely with my black Sega Sports Dreamcast that I bought because it was cheaper (and had a few games bundled) than a regular Dreamcast. Glad I did because I feel special having the "rare" black one

Doom's beauty lies in its subtlety

"I'm not sure if the listener will understand the subtle nuance of the album title" "Ok, hold that though, I know *just* the place to do the cover shoot"

Album cover for "I'm a man" by Star City wherein a man in a hard hat is standing in front of the largest phallic symbol in the tri-state area to drive home the point that yes, he is indeed a man

Our version of the main theme from Quest for Glory IV reimagines the gothic rock classic as a decidedly more Hetfield-esque speed metal affair. (It may not sound like it at first, but give it time.) youtu.be/0YEWvY6zAMc Download link in reply 👇

Took ~35 years, but I finally beat Star Wars on Game Gear and was treated to this sweet end screen

People that don't play Ark are missing out because I do and nothing in this image is confusing (or surprising) to me

Happy 35th birthday, Sonic the Hedgehog. I can't explain *why* I like you so much, but here we are.

I'm not going to spoil anything, but that Dungeon Crawler Carl scene with A-ha was one of the best things I've ever listened to in any media. Absolutely perfectly done by Jeff Hays

I've never actually played Silent Hill 2 myself, so maybe they shouldn't have put me in charge of making this EP... but the music is fucking awesome, I love the game's story, and I called dibs, so HERE IT IS, MOTHERFUCKERS. Error 47 does Silent Hill 2. Free download, of course.

Reading about Bobby Prince to look back on his amazing career led to this great note in the Duke3d wiki

One thing my old boss instilled in me (owner of the music school I now own) is to always have MSI. Multiple streams of income. I make music, I teach music, I fix guitars, I do whatever it takes. Glad you got to make music your main focus, it's well deserved!

Finally on Dungeon Crawler Carl book 8 and after that metal netting thing in book 7, I don't know if anything will shock me. I expect to be wrong about that, but it'll be hard.

The speed with which Cooper goes from losing his mind at a perceived intruder to snoring is impressive. This was taken less than a minute after the aforementioned phantom interloper was dispatched.

Some real delusions of grandeur going on to claim a lack of representation because Kratos isn't in the new GoW game when you have more in common with Al Bundy.

Love it, but hate that instead of i-frames, it kind of does a reverse i-frame thing where you're frozen, but the enemy can still keep hitting you. I should probably just git gud, of course, but I'm old and stuck in my ways.

Put together a demo reel of a few things I've been working on recently. Always available for custom soundtracks, audio editing, mixing/mastering, etc. Hit me up! jps@dorkbrainstudios.com youtu.be/nGbgT1FRmAc

This is why you don't update unless you see a reason to update. I have an ancient computer in my studio I use for various things. It's running Win7 and has Office 2010 free edition on it and it works more than fine! I just ignore the daily prompts to update anything

I love following game sale notification accounts because they're always like "Game XYZ is on sale for $37.99 on the US Nintendo eshop! Also, $0.17 on Steam ($0.13 if you use coupon code ABC at checkout)"

Happy anniversary to the best misapplied headline ever.

The words "Did your kid's name make the list?" appear over a picture of an electric chair attached to a story titled "Tennessee Gov. Signs Bill To Allow Electric Chair"

I "beat" both demo campaigns in Warhammer Survivors and the problem I'm having now is that I just want to play the full thing but now I have to wait possibly MONTHS. The horror. Praise the Omnissiah.
