My GDQ submissions are generally pretty weird, but this is very chaotic, even for me.

My AGDQ 2027 submissions: Barbie Fashion Pack Games, Mad Dog McCree, Space Pirates, and The Blue Marlin.

My current hyperfixation gets to continue being my hyperfixation for a little while longer. Really excited to show off this strange little game to a wider audience. Also this is a GDQ run I have to actually practice for.

I'm going to run Mary Shelley's Frankenstein at SGDQ 2026

First Frankenstein run in the book. It went... oooook. Sum of best is already a low 25, I think I get pretty easily get a 23:xx by just not making any mistakes. Weird game, weird run, definitely fun-adjacent.

Happy New Year everyone. One week from today, I'll be running Bug Blasters during Awful Block at #AGDQ2026. I'm incredibly lucky and honored that @gamesdonequick.com continues to let me show games off at their events. See y'all there next week. (yes I'm bringing cookies)

two fantasy leagues, two trips to the finals. one team is actually good, one team is hilariously overachieving. I'll let you guess which is which.

my two Yahoo fantasy football teams winning their semifinal matchups. Decidedly Mediocre beat Pantera 97.46-92.94, Lester's Possum Park beat Springfield Atoms 99.06. this is preposterous.

I'm now live with my somewhat ill-advised FMV marathon. I'm starting with Johnny Rock and playing all the DVDs pictured below from left to right. Should take like 8 hours or so, which means I'll be here all day. twitch.tv/sharfers beef.fish

The games I'm going to play today on steam. Left to right: Who Shot Johnny Rock?, Crime Patrol, Dragon's Lair III, Time Traveler, Drug Wars, Dragon's Lair, Dragon's Lair II, Space Ace, Space Pirates, Thayer's Quest, Shadoan, Mad Dog McCree, Mad Dog II, and The Last Bounty Hunter.

I have this Monday off and I'm mostly derusted on all the games, so that seems like a good time for my super mega FMV stream, where I play all 14 games pictured in one sitting. Still tentative and start time TBD, but look out here for if/when I go live.

The 14 FMV DVD games I plan on playing on stream. Top to bottom: Drug Wars, Crime Patrol, The Last Bounty Hunter, Space Pirates, Who Shot Johnny Rock?, Time Traveler, Shadoan, Thayer's Quest, Mad Dog II, Mad Dog McCree, Space Ace, Dragon's Lair III, Dragon's Lair II, Dragon's Lair

I recently came into possession of a Sega Mouse (thanks @super.metr0.id) and immediately went to see which Sega CD games are compatible with it and oh my. I guess I have some silliness in my future.
