Lego GameBoy and Giant Uno have been cool additions to family time

Libraries are doing the work of keeping old school gaming alive. Check your library and see if you can borrow a console! (Yes I know these are the flashbacks, not the originals. But better than nothing!)

15 years ago, I was able to see the final space shuttle launch. I was happy to see the hard work that I put into STEM communication be rewarded with the trio. It was an amazing experience that stays with me.

I was planning on getting through more 007 First Light and Forza Horizon 6, but I simply had to play and celebrate the final update of Destiny. The only game I've played continuously for a decade straight. Thanks for the memories guardians

Started up 007 First Light but got pulled into some other chore. So this first QTE just went on forever. Soothing background music!

Did my best Alex Trebek impression for our Jeopardy style AP calculus review. Now that the exam is over, we are working on a fun final project.

Me and Blue, for all of the Bomberman marbles. Y'all have no idea how many times we rented this from Blockbuster for late night gaming.

Finally got to sit down and play Marvel Cosmic Invasion on Switch 2 and i had a blast! It's challenging without being annoying. Excellent voice acting, and combining moves is dope! It's way longer than i thought as well. An all around polished product.

Got a banger old magazine from @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social. I remember owning this one back in the day. Love how the it looks close to Rare's graphical style, down to how bonkers Diddy Kong looks

So thrilled to watch my child mix and match toys and come up with wild stories. It's such a joy to watch

Goldeneye N64 and Mission Impossible provided the theme music for the escape room I planned for my Algebra 2 class. They had to solve puzzles based on reference angles, terminal angles, and the unit circle. Fun stuff!
