Do I have any cool, beautiful, sexy, smart, charismatic, hunky Canadian friends that would be willing to get me that slip cover? ;)

I just hit Master rank in Overwatch for the first time since like 2018

42. Junkster (100%) Highly recommend this for any 3D puzzle platformer fans. Took me a little more than 6 hours to find all collectibles and beat these 20 levels. Definitely biggest surprise of the year for me so far. It's charming and scratched that 3D platforming itch I get.

41. Kiln (100%) Wanted to get all the achievements before whatever happens to Double Fine. Enjoyed this game a lot, though the grind for level 50 was definitely not needed. Great little party game that can be approached a variety of ways, like this pic where all I did was run around with water.

30. Grabbed by the Ghoulies/Rare Replay (100%) GbtG is a very mediocre game, but the bigger deal here is finally finishing Rare Replay 100%! Will have a video talking about that over the next couple of weeks. Very excited to dive deep into Rare's history and what it's like playing these games.

27. Jet Force Gemini (100%) First time playing this and I was quite impressed. Plenty of jank, but for a third-person shooter on the N64, this was a lot of fun! Probably one of the better Rare games, though I definitely would not play this without a guide. Another one down in the Rare Replay push

21. Blast Corps (100%) My first time playing this, and while it's probably the lowest profile N64 Rare game, I'd rather play this again than Conker or Banjo Tooie. It's fun, but it definitely has too many missions and time trials. I'd like to see how this would look today.

John Hansen @johnhansen.bsky.social · 07/03/2026

20. Super Mario Bros. Wonder (100%) I hate that standees and top of flag poles are connected to completion, but whatever. I love this game. Probably my favorite 2D Mario, so I was happy to go through it again for all the side stuff I missed. Very imaginative and I hope we get a second Wonder game

John Hansen @johnhansen.bsky.social · 01/03/2026

19. Super Mario Galaxy (100%) Decided to go back and play through with Luigi before the movie comes out. Still great, though the Luigi playthrough adds nothing to the experience. Regardless, excited for the movie and one day I'll finally play Galaxy 2 when I have money to get it.

John Hansen @johnhansen.bsky.social · 26/02/2026

18. Baldur's Gate 3 (100%) Great game, but think I'm pretty done with it now after three playthroughs lol love Shadowheart and Karlach, and outside of the second act, I think it's pretty great to play the entire time. Maybe one day we'll get another D&D game to sit beside this, but it's been fun.

110

John Hansen @johnhansen.bsky.social · 03/02/2026

12. Highguard (100%) It's a 6/10. Not bad, but nothing special by any means. The whole loot system sucks, the gear-up portion is boring, the reinforce section is pointless, and damage feels inconsistent to me. That said, there are intense moments that make it worth the grind for achievements.

John Hansen @johnhansen.bsky.social · 17/01/2026

8. Conker's Bad Fur Day This final boss can go fuck all the way off. It just doesn't work. Controls and responsiveness are so slow and horrible. The rest of the game isn't that great either, just pretty mediocre. We can leave Conker in the past, there's nothing for him to come back to.

John Hansen @johnhansen.bsky.social · 17/01/2026

7. Yoshi's Story Every time I played this as a kid, I always quickly got bored and hopped off. While I like the scavenger hunt style here, it's stupid easy. Always loved yoshis in general, though, and that theme song always gets stuck in my head.

John Hansen @johnhansen.bsky.social · 13/01/2026

Did I really complete a Master Mode run in 40 hours? I'm not sure that's accurate, but yeah Breath of the Wild is back at the top lol

Mortal Kombat 1 has a squirrel on a roomba that attacks you. The greatest fighting game ever

John Hansen @johnhansen.bsky.social · 14/12/2025

90. Super Animal Royale (100%) I played this like 4 years ago and came back for the completion. Fun little top-down battle royale. It's cute, easy to understand, and has really catchy menu music. I like it and think its a little overlooked because of the giants. I made my dog in this sick outfit

John Hansen @johnhansen.bsky.social · 02/12/2025

Really shocking behavior. Who could have ever known this recap was going to happen lol

John Hansen @johnhansen.bsky.social · 02/12/2025

87. Kirby's Dream Land 3 Really like the art style, but outside of that, this is probably one of my more least liked Kirby games. Not a huge fan of the reliance on the animal friends.

100

John Hansen @johnhansen.bsky.social · 19/11/2025

84. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Master Mode) What a game. My second playthrough on Master Mode was just as good as my original back in 2017. Don't think it really added much more than tougher combat, so I wouldn't necessarily recommend it over the normal, but glad I can say I beat it.

John Hansen @johnhansen.bsky.social · 01/11/2025

82. PowerWash Simulator 2 (100%) Been dealing with a ton of stress lately after 7 months of job searching and no luck and my savings being emptied. That said, this was nice to listen to D&D too while playing like the first. Very enjoyable and makes quite a few improvements over the first.

John Hansen @johnhansen.bsky.social · 29/10/2025

81. Keeper I really like Double Fine, but I thought this game was incredibly boring. Had to fight myself not to fall asleep multiple times. I like the art but hate the boring puzzles and exploration.

110

John Hansen @johnhansen.bsky.social · 02/10/2025

76. Klonoa: Empire of Dreams I love this series, and this game is great! At least, until the last few levels that randomly throw in some bullshit that really annoyed me. Regardless, Klonoa deserves more!

John Hansen @johnhansen.bsky.social · 20/09/2025

Saw Sleep Theory last night, another band that has jumped into my favorites this year. What a show!

Having never played Skate before, I really like crashing and just leaving my character sitting in that spot, dead, for a long time.

John Hansen @johnhansen.bsky.social · 15/09/2025

74. Donkey Kong Bananza Took me a while to work through this. Probably won't make my GotY list, but it's enjoyable. Rock version of gang plank galleon is awesome, though! Big fan of elephant form, snake form sucks.

100

John Hansen @johnhansen.bsky.social · 03/09/2025

70. Lego Batman 2 (100%) The first game is much better than this, in my opinion. This one is more buggy and just doesn't work. Regardless, I'm in such a Batman mood right now i decided to focus on it lol

100

John Hansen @johnhansen.bsky.social · 28/08/2025

69. Kingdom Hearts 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue (100%) That's now both collections 100%'d! One of my favorite series of all time and ot definitely made me earn these completions. Still have to go back to do 3 and then I have to play through Melody of Memory, but that can wait. I need a break lol

210

John Hansen @johnhansen.bsky.social · 26/08/2025

68. Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance (100%) I still maintain that this game has the worst combat in the series, but it actually wasn't too bad to get the full completion on. Next, I will be finishing Aqua's .2 journey, and then it's time for another break from KH lol

I made a Mario in Mario Paint today on stream and totally forgot in the moment that his mustache is black instead of brown like his hair

John Hansen @johnhansen.bsky.social · 19/08/2025

65. Assassin's Creed Odyssey (100%) Been working at this on and off for about 5 years, so I'm glad to have it done. This is my favorite AC game. It's so damn good (except for Layla because present-day AC stories always suuuuuck)

110

John Hansen @johnhansen.bsky.social · 10/08/2025

Dayseeker and Ice Nine Kills concert done. I'm a sweaty, sticky mess but so happy I got to see Dayseeker! They've quickly become one of my favorite bands this year!

John Hansen @johnhansen.bsky.social · 08/08/2025

61. Dead by Daylight (100% on Windows) Did I need to get all the achievements in DbD on the Windows version after getting Xbox last year? No, but sometimes I set stupid goals for myself and can't stop until I see it through (i.e., Kingdom Hearts earlier this year)

My daughter turned 13 yesterday. Here's some photos of her when she was not that age. My baby girl is growing up!

58. Super Mario RPG If I wasn't streaming this, there was no way I would have finished it. The mini-games, combat, and other little annoyances started to eat at me. There's a lot about this game I don't like. Paper Mario over this any day.

110

John Hansen @johnhansen.bsky.social · 16/07/2025

54. Rayman 3 HD Not my favorite Rayman game. It is quite janky to play today, and I really dont like the reliance on score in a platformer. It's not a bad game by any means, but not that great. Also, sound mixing so you can understand what characters are saying? Never heard of it.

46. Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies My second time playing through this, and yep, it's still my favorite Ace Attorney game. Such a good story all the way around.

John Hansen @johnhansen.bsky.social · 05/06/2025

44. Mario Kart World Hey, did you guys know that Mario Kart is fun? Probably not my favorite in the series, but it's enjoyable. Love the music, knockout tour is fun, who cares about the free roam, so many lame character selections. Hoping they have some good additions to this game coming.

100

John Hansen @johnhansen.bsky.social · 01/06/2025

42. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate As much as I love this game and think it deserves to be celebrated (especially the classic mode), I was never a big fan of World of Light and Spirits. What a grind and gauntlet. That said, it was a very epic finish. I'm glad I pushed through to finally see the end.

40. Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards I used to get this rented from Blockbuster/Family Video as a kid and loved it a lot. Playing it now, it's a bit rough but I still love the combining multiple powers into one. Glad I've beat it now

John Hansen @johnhansen.bsky.social · 12/05/2025

38. Wario Land 4 First time playing this, and I definitely prefer WL 2 and 3. This was alright, though. I'm still holding out some hope that someday this series will return. It's not likely it will happen, but we can hold out hope.
