One of the games we're playing tomorrow has a EULA that says, "You have 18+ years". That implies that I'm either sucking the souls of people like the witches in Hocus Pocus do, or the game itself is letting me know how long I have left.

In this agreement, you confirm the following points.
You have 18+ years.
In the game there are scenes of violence, horror.
The developer is not responsible for any moral, psychological, physical, injury from the game.
It is not recommended to play to persons prone to epilepsy, and to persons with unstable psyche.

Illegal distribution, and sale of copies of the game House of Evil, is prohibited.
All rights reserved.

You've still got plenty of time to vote on this week's FIRST Halloween stream! Surprisingly, the new stream segment, Beyond the Backlog, is in the lead! I've also cobbled together 14 awful Steam games if Bad Games Block pulls ahead!

So you might've noticed the new stream segment in the poll! What is it? Behold: BEYOND THE BACKLOG! Where I'll be playing through games in my backlog I've never touched before! Obviously, our first one will be horror themed! I'm quite proud of how the logo came out!

Drue Dannible @hiddengemsreviews.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

This Thursday is October 1st, which marks the start of the Halloween-themed streams! You know what that means: Horror games galore, both good and bad throughout the entire month! All the seasonal options are here, including a new one! Poll ends this Tuesday at 3PM EST! youtube.com/post/UgkxjLV...

Well as you might've guessed from this one being late as well, there's no stream tonight either as I just got home! Apologies, everyone! In good news I have an excellent pay check coming up at least, which might be the final push for that new capture card!

Drue Dannible @hiddengemsreviews.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

VERY late update to this: Still stuck at work like I thought I'd be today (This time I was at least told a few days in advance), and I would just have a shorter stream tonight if I wasn't also dealing with a massive headache from this morning. We'll try for tomorrow!

Funniest argument I've had with an AI bro: "Marathon is outperforming Batman's higher player count actually because it has less reviews" Instead of paying Claude they should start paying me to think for them.

Hey hey everyone! No poll this week as I am unsure if I'll be streaming this Thursday or not (work related stuff). If we do stream, I'll do a coin flip for more Dino Crisis or last week's PC Game poll loser! Hopefully I'll see you guys this week!

Drue Dannible @hiddengemsreviews.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

The real crisis is Capcom releasing Exoprimal instead of another one of these! I'm streaming Dino Crisis, live in 10 minutes! www.youtube.com/live/8rGPNbe...

Completely devastated by this news. Any time I recommend someone gets into VR, Moss was always my first pick. It's a series near and dear to me, and I sincerely hope everyone at Polyarc and this franchise can land on its feet. They deserve to: www.ign.com/articles/pol...

Drue Dannible @hiddengemsreviews.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

No poll this week as we'll be playing last week's Mystery Game! Small hint: It's an incredibly niche release for a hugely popular Nintendo series, and is the only game in said series I've never played before. I'm looking forward to it!

You're all contractually obligated to read this comment Rob Paulsen made on a Tim Curry interview in 2025

Rob Paulsen - Voice Actor

I had the remarkable privilege to work with Tim a few dozen times.
Kind, generous, playful, naughty and a TOTAL pro. A couple years ago, at NY Comic Con, I was in the green room having lunch and Tim
came in in his chair. Of course, I was aware of his stroke, so l walked over knelt down and said, "Tim! It's Rob Paulsen. We
worked together on..." he looked me and said, "I know who you are,
you fucking wanker." It was like a blessing from the Pope. Utterly
unique. Unstoppable. A total star.

Drue Dannible @hiddengemsreviews.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

Rest in peace to an all-time legend. We've already lost so many but this one really hurts. You'll be missed, Tim Curry.
