Robert would rebel later in life and legally change his name to Vector.

I could've sworn this sounded like the same voice in Jumping Flash, but I guess it's not her. She DOES have an IMDB credit for this game, though! Unfortunately, it's the only acting role she's credited for there

It's September, and I've only just now done my 2nd first-time game completion...but it's one that's plagued me for YEARS now! First-time game completion of 2026 #2! Grim Dawn (PC) Deathless on Veteran difficulty! I learned the key to surviving in this game...pump regen to 1/3 your HP per second. 😑

Definitely enjoyed the first two. 😁

My favorite PS2 game! 😁 I own the physical PS2 disc, but I play it on my PS3, and you never know when that old thing will explode into a million bits. So I'm definitely picking this up later! Besides, $9.99US is MUCH less than what the disc version costs.

I feel like System Software Update has been my most played PS5 game this year. 😑

PigeonFish @thepigeonfish.bsky.social · 06/06/2026

My guess is they wanted to make ABSOLUTELY SURE people knew you could swing your sword and not just smash your face into the enemies. 😂 Happy to count this one among my collection, though! 😁

Character reminds me of Vanessa Schneider from P.N.03

I never played the Sly seies myself, but this is my meager, but mostly beloved, PS2 collection. Or at least the majority of it. I have Ace Combat 4 sitting around here somewhere, I just couldn't find it. 😑

I swear I've seen this pose before, and I immediately wanna say it was taken from Menchi from Excel Saga, but I can't be sure.

First-time game completion of 2026 #1! Diabolic (Nintendo Switch) I guess I haven't made much progress in games this year. It's April, and this is only the first game I've finished...and it's not a very long game. Took maybe 1.5 hours. It's a short ARPG. Not a lot to the game, but I didn't hate it!

PigeonFish @thepigeonfish.bsky.social · 06/04/2026

His starting theme song is even the same one from that stage! I've heard the song in Konami Krazy Racers on GBA as well, but didn't know it originated from Twinbee. /*00😆

PigeonFish @thepigeonfish.bsky.social · 06/04/2026

Oooh! I don't have a whole lot of Twinbee experience (outside of Stinger on NA NES), but I DO know Sexy Parodius! Didn't realize this was where Shooting Star comes from! 😅

The one character in the upper left immediately made me think of Sakura from Hyper Police. Only she has pointy elf-like ears instead of fox ears.

001

PigeonFish @thepigeonfish.bsky.social · 16/03/2026

The two characters here don't even look like they're from the same game anymore.

I attended 5 years later in 2008 and cosplayed as Komamura from Bleach (with mask, no dog head). I recall seeing lots of FF10 cosplayers though.

For #RandomGameSaturday I drew Furu Furu Park for Wii. If I'm honest, I've not yet played this one. Picked it up last year for $2. 😅 I'm told it's a collection of cute mini games featuring Taito IPs that can be played solo or multiplayer. Sounded right up my alley, and it was super inexpensive!

PigeonFish @thepigeonfish.bsky.social · 04/03/2026

Here are a few lesser-known PS2 games in my collection that I think are absolute gems!

I bought a new wallet online and it came with a picture of a windmill and a rainbow. Pretty sure that means the US government will be coming after me. If I'm disappeared, please remember I was here, and that Gitaroo Man on PS2 is the best rhythm game ever. 😔

PigeonFish @thepigeonfish.bsky.social · 17/02/2026

Post a fav game that got a 75 or less on Metacritic. Midway Arcade Treasures. I'm honestly surprised at this one. This is by far the best "free" game I ever got with Xbox Live Games with Gold! So many of my favorite old arcade games! Rampage, Joust, Spy Hunter, Sini-Star, and so on. 😄

PigeonFish @thepigeonfish.bsky.social · 15/02/2026

One of my favorite games on my favorite console, the TG-16! 😁

Had to look it up on the web because I already own it on my Xbox. Looks like you can still buy it. S'ten bucks.

Quote this post with a game you like but everyne else hates. I loved this game as a kid. I didn't realize it was so reviled til just a out 5 years ago

PigeonFish @thepigeonfish.bsky.social · 18/01/2026

For me it would've had to have been either Super Mario Bros or Contra (using the 30 lives cheat). Unless you count Jungle Hunt on Atari 2600. It only had like 4 stages that just looped indefinitely. Took like a minute to beat each stage. 😅

Without revealing your actual age, what's something you remember that if you told a younger person they wouldn't understand Not being able to use the internet because my mom was on a phone call.

PigeonFish @thepigeonfish.bsky.social · 06/01/2026

I guess Xenoblade Chronicles would be one of mine too. Bought this years ago and have never even booted it up. Finished Divinity Original Sin literally 2 hours before the new year. Starting on the sequel to that as well.

PigeonFish @thepigeonfish.bsky.social · 06/01/2026

Of course there's Vampire Survivors, but I'm sure everyone's heard of it by now. Sort of turned into a phenomenon overnight. 😅 A game that I wholly overlooked until I was actually able to try it for free and I became completely hooked.

PigeonFish @thepigeonfish.bsky.social · 01/01/2026

Also finished the game using the Lone Wolf trait. For those unaware of what that is, you start the game with 2 main characters, and can normally have 1 side character for each. A main with Lone Wolf gets boosted HP and skill points, but can't have a companion. Overall it makes things a bit tougher.

PigeonFish @thepigeonfish.bsky.social · 01/01/2026

#6 Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition (Xbox version) I bought this back when I still had an XBone, before the Series X|S released, and I never played beyond the first chapter before this playthrough. Not an awful game, but not without its problems. Guess I can start on the sequel now!

PigeonFish @thepigeonfish.bsky.social · 27/12/2025

Of course there's in-game calibration in House of the Dead. How the heck did I miss that?? 😔 Anyhoo, I was right, the in-game calibration makes all the difference! House of the Dead works like a charm now!

120

PigeonFish @thepigeonfish.bsky.social · 27/12/2025

Virtua Cop, on the other hand, works incredibly well! It also has its own calibration in the game's settings menu, which is probably what makes all the difference. I didn't see one in House of the Dead, but maybe I need to go back and look again.

110

PigeonFish @thepigeonfish.bsky.social · 27/12/2025

The accuracy leaves something to be desired on House of the Dead. There's a system-level calibration tool, but even after calibrating the gun, shots still seem to go off to the left and slightly up of where I'm aiming.

PigeonFish @thepigeonfish.bsky.social · 27/12/2025

It's quite a bit smaller, and MUCH lighter than the normal Sinden light gun. My Sinden also has the built-in kickback motor, so that adds weight to it.

PigeonFish @thepigeonfish.bsky.social · 27/12/2025

3½ years of waiting and look what finally showed up at my doorstep! For a while there, I actually thought I would never see my Polymega light gun!

PigeonFish @thepigeonfish.bsky.social · 27/12/2025

Clearly this particular Mario was dating one of the Delfino Islanders. I guess they all couldn't have Pauline.

PigeonFish @thepigeonfish.bsky.social · 15/12/2025

Found this while clearing out some files from my phone! It's the ship I created a couple years back when I tried out Starfield. The Fiddler Crab! That game was ALL about ship building for me. I could get lost for hours just putting together new ship designs. 😅

PigeonFish @thepigeonfish.bsky.social · 12/12/2025

I've mentioned before that Super Air Zonk: Rockabilly Paradise for the TurboGrafx 16 is the single most valuable game I own, and it's not even by a small margin. Things have been a bit precarious lately, however, and I'm thinking of selling it. Anyone know a good platform to do so that isn't ebay?😟

020

PigeonFish @thepigeonfish.bsky.social · 11/12/2025

My Dreamcast VM2 arrived today! While messing around with it, I discovered that the Windows management software has a streaming function! You can effectively stream the VM2 screen to the app, then make the app a video source in OBS to include the VMU with game capture if you're a streamer!😄 Neat!!

Tubby the Tuba followed immediately by The Terminator. Or that's how it was in my childhood.

I suppose that's what they're here for. I'm not too worried.

Hum...suppose this means I'm "boring." 😑

PigeonFish @thepigeonfish.bsky.social · 25/11/2025

I enjoy a game with a good story, but games these days are all trying too hard to be the next big epic theatrical experience. Sometimes it's nice to just blow sh** up! 😁 Burnout Crash! was great for that! Sadly it's forever digitally locked to PS3 and XB360. It deserves a port to modern platforms!

110

PigeonFish @thepigeonfish.bsky.social · 19/11/2025

I'll admit, this is one I haven't played very much of. It was not one of my childhood games, but I did pick this up at some point along the way. 😅
