This week I'm joined by Jordan Middler as we discuss our somewhat differing reviews of Control Resonant, his time with EA Sports FC 27, my time with the Steam Frame, Nadella saying that the moves Xbox is making lately are "great to see," and more. youtu.be/kVLxtofv2QI

Apparently the game is called Charlie Blast's Territory and not Charlie's Blast Territory and I don't know what to believe anymore. Also ranked: Army Men: Sarge's Heroes, Rugrats: Scavenger Hunt, and F-1 World Grand Prix. youtu.be/VU3lJr4i8Ys

Hey! I wrote a review of Control Resonant. It has some neat ideas, some of which don’t pan out. Ultimately I was pretty disappointed with it. www.patreon.com/jeffgerstmann/posts…

Everyone loves inline skating, right? I mean I liked Aggressive Inline quite a bit. There's a new inline skating game out, it's called Rollout Inline, and it's pretty neat so far! youtu.be/qRo4khgWBck

I finally managed to carve out a little me time with everyone's favorite video game, Super Mario Bros. Special for the PC-88. Time to finally finish off these RetroAchievements (as long as the game doesn't crash again). youtu.be/5kjUtXbd9UI

Twitch was completely broken this morning so I ended up streaming to YouTube. That has its own set of circumstances so... 1) the archive is higher-resolution and higher bitrate than it normally is! And also 2) it'll take a few hours for the archive to finish processing.
