Been playtesting and QA'ing my own game on Twitch the last few days. Is THIS the final build? We'll see as I play through the entire game to make sure I can beat it. www.twitch.tv/johnblueriggs

Me telling this lady she sucks at Breakers for Neo Geo in a movie we're filming about wrestling that happens to take place in an arcade. My two oldest are also extras that you'll see when the movie is released. Watch for MARKS hopefully next year.

I've had SO MANY PEOPLE (honestly, 1, maybe 2) ask for gameplay of my new indie homebrew games from Brazil so here's every game I grabbed from Brazilian publishers. Master System, Mega Drive, Famicom. Watch youtu.be/oRePTZlt8Kw

Maybe I need to wear more sequin suits when I'm in the ring and at conventions.

As if it was tailor-made for me, they're filming a wrestling movie in Portland at a local arcade. I'm playing the role of the ring announcer.

One of the oldest game stores in Brazil is SIL GAMES. Owned and operated by a very loving couple. Adam, Saru, Myself, and others devour their Sega Master System selection for TecToy Master System exclusives. Check it! youtu.be/wbbGzJlBkAc

Brazil is doing great with new indie games on classic consoles. Here are my Master System, Mega Drive, DC, and one NES (famicom) gets from RetroCon developed in Brazil.

Why it's important to clean your games before popping them into your consoles, even if you just bought them at a convention. Trust nothing.

In the 'i never took you as a guy who cared' department, Xerjoff (my favorite fragrance company) released a collab with Lambo so I imported the samples along with a few others.

My new Genesis / Mega Drive game is coming along nicely. Play as a shadowy creature running on powerlines during a boring car trip. Should be ready in a couple months or less.
