Nice work Canada.

Random Game Saturday - overdue for a replay of this one. Listen Nintendo, if you need a cheap PR win to offset the switch 2 prices, I got an idea for ya...

5 romance movies to get to know me: (Not a genre I've watched a lot of, unfortunately!) - Amélie - Chungking Express - Your Name - The Princess Bride - It Happened One Night

Blue Prince is a pretty cool video game. Wouldn't have thought "Myst Roguelike" would work, but they pulled it off for sure. Even if you don't like roguelikes and just love puzzles I'd recommend it.

We left some sunflower seeds on our fence as an offering to the squirrel that lives in our backyard. Seems she pigged out and decided to lounge haha.

The only nintendo consoles I've bought on launch day: 3DS and WiiU. Planning on Switch 2 day 1 as well, so that's probably a warning for the rest of you.

Fuckin love ordering way too much chinese takeout and having leftovers for the next 2-3 days.

Quote this post with your 4 favorite final fantasy characters. Barret is a pretty recent addition, really liked him in the remake. Also feeling somewhat more sympathetic towards his... ideals, and bias for "action", recently.

Every single post on r/videogames reads like a support group for aging millennials who feel bad that they suck at games now. "Life Hack: It's ok to play on easy." "Today I decided to cheat in a single player game and I don't regret it." "Games are meant to be fun! It's ok to look at guides."

not seeing it so, gotta post it

today has seen a lot of people have been posting what they claim is the best anime opening. but theyre wrong. its this

Alright who believes in the sign of Zeta

Congrats to Kakeru on winning the $1mil street fighter tourney. He always looks like the best player in the world when I watch him, so no big surprise. Also grats to 15-year-old Blaz playing Ryu??? Getting 2nd??? From Chile??? That guy gonna be a force to reckon with if he sticks with it.

I love how the SF6 menu music switches to the vocal theme when you get a 10-win streak in ranked. youtu.be/nmv8HwUvc-k

Hoping for Anora for best picture. Weirdly funny movie with great performances. Kinda reminds me of Fargo or Snatch. Haven't been able to see "I'm Still Here" yet tho I hear it's great. Will be pretty happy with anything but Emilia Perez winning. Conclave would be a boring choice but it was fine.

Trying to watch all the best picture nominees, tonight is "Nickel Boys". Seeming like a "let's watch human misery for 2.5 hours" kinda movie and fuuuuuck man, do we gotta? I already got a 24/7 stream of misery from the news. I'm maxed out. Tell me it ends like Django? Or Get Out?

I think we’re using the word “diabolical” too much when we’re describing this situation but also this is the Kendrick Lamar clip that the NFL’s official account posted to TikTok. Amazing.

Ayyyyy yoga blaze it

I'm always saying this

2025 Games Beat Thread!

Watching Wreck it Ralph with my kid for the first time. Excitedly: "Dad!!! It's Ken! And Ryu! AND ZANBEEF!!! That's ZANBEEF!!!" Wipin' a tear from my eye. He knows well the ancient lore.

Arcane + Street Fighter 6 Damn bro, I guess it's not for everybody, but kinda rude to call 2XKO an "unholy abomination".

Holy fuuuuuuuuu no one warned me about the last boss of Luigi's Mansion 3. It's like a cruel experiment to see how many minutes a gamer can last without taking any meaningful game action. Other than that, game was solid! Not as good as 1, but far better than 2. Kiddo loves it too.

Happy Astro Bot won GotY, it's a really well designed game. Definitely give it a try if you have a PS5. It plays kinda like Mario 3D World, or Spyro - that kind of action platformer with collectibles. Also my 4-year-old has completed the game like 5 times if that's any endorsement.

New Ueda game? Oh shit. Hopefully the development of this one goes a little smoother than Last Guardian

Elden Ring... co-op... thing? But I hate interacting with humans.

Cleared all 50 games in UFO 50! My GotY 2024, highly recommended if you love tough old retro games. Mini reviews of each of the games: pastejustit.com/1jod1empem My tier list:

Oh shit? They made the PS5 play the PS1 boot up sound for the 30th anniversary? That's sick!
