Nobody will ever know everything about gaming. There will always be gaps. There will always be something new to learn. Assuming you're a curious and open-minded person, this is neither a problem or a personal flaw - it's healthy. Enjoy yourself. kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com/2021/03/15/t...

It’s interesting to have a retail storefront (if only a virtual one). You can tell a certain amount of how people are feeling based on traffic. Weekends like this one where crazy shit was happening? Absolutely dead.

Been replaying Tales of Destiny for PS1 using the recent fan patch that updates the translation to use modern terms & adds back in the stuff that was cut or changed (like the original OP theme for the intro), and I just finished the first half, which is meant to feel like its own story. Still great

I highly encourage everyone who’s dealing with “it’s 2025” to look up what these lyrics mean, learn them, and then scream your heart out to car karaoke while blaring this song mirai really fucking wa bokura no te no naka

After watching & absolutely loving Akagi back in the day, I was all ready for the next Nobuyuki Fukumoto anime adaptation, whatever it would wind up being. Needless to say, I was not prepared for this OP in any way, after only knowing Akagi's wonderfully slow & wistful OP, "Nantoka Nare" by Furuido

this is a huge resource that @mangaxrepublic.bsky.social put a ton of work into assembling. give it a read!

Still to this day the best usage of David Draiman's "ooh-wah-ah-ah-ah!" ever. The One is such a fun, dumb, & oh-so-enjoyable movie.

So can we start quoting the pope when fighting game players get a little too salty now

Wow, these are some incredibly kind words from this moment on the show. Thank you for even thinking of me during your presentation at all. I am very moved.

I always love the tension, chaos, and hype that a Gundam battle track adds to a scene.

Nearly every episode so far of Ippatsuman ends with the managers at Skull Lease being so forlorn with their lives as working stiffs that they fantasize about "quitting being human." I feel like every cat owner has felt this one in particular:

One of the greatest songs ever written about racist policing/villainous “law & order” regimes, sung by the man who wrote & recorded it 45 years ago, with backing by child street-corner buskers

Meanwhile on Yahoo Auctions, 2 M2 prototypes are currently being auctioned. I wonder if anyone has ever tried to estimate the number of units produced based on serial numbers. www.fromjapan.co.jp/japan/fr/auc... www.fromjapan.co.jp/japan/fr/auc...

Part 1 of my history of Sega Pinball drops next Monday, June 23! Read about the company's first attempt to enter the industry in Japan in the 1970s, capitalizing on its electromechanical successes. It includes new and newly-translated information!

Does Pinocchio’s nose have a fixed minimum length, or could he learn a truth so profound that uttering it aloud would cause his nose to prolapse and rocket backwards through his skull like a bolt gun, killing him instantly?

The PC-9801 can produce mind-boggling effects.

Press Start on a new day - good morning! o/

Help! Several months ago I ripped MP3s off some CD and I've completely forgotten where these came from! It's probably some 90s Windows PC game (or some kind of compilation), here's one of the tracks. Can anyone identify it? www.youtube.com/watch?v=15Sf...

Still the hardest end theme I think I've ever come across.

Wasn't sure if I'd be able to get it done & ready this month, but look forward to this Monday for a new Obscusion B-Side about the seven games released by Tengen & Time Warner Interactive (i.e. "Atari Games") that only ever saw release in Japan! And, yes, that includes Psychic Assassin Taromaru!

Oh hey, that's me.

In the meantime, if you've never attended Anime Lockdown, a large chunk of our last three cons can be found on our Youtube channel: www.youtube.com/@animelockdo...

This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone that's been following us since the beginning, but we're kind of figuring things out as we go. If we do another con, let's plan for a single day event like last time with the option to expand if we get enough quality panel submisssions.

Let JP know if you want to see another Anime Lockdown… And more importantly, if you wanna be part of it as a panelist!

My favorite part of Anime Lockdown was the time I did a panel & essentially asked JP to be the JR to my Sycho Sid at the start of my panel. "It's live, pal!"

CONFIRMED: The Game Boy Camera is Switch 2 compatible! Find out how to use it with Game Chat right here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TeOE...

With Otakon around the corner, I’ve been thinking about Anime Lockdown. I’m proud of a lot of what we accomplished, but getting to tell Funimation to kick rocks when they wanted to fake sponsor the con was particularly enjoyable. Especially considering what became of them and Crunchyroll later.

Mad respect for those Virtual-On model kits

For today's random game Saturday, it's the game so nice they named it thrice: Riglord Saga aka Mystaria the realms of lore aka Blazing Heroes. Perhaps the biggest mismatch of number of names to quality of game?? It's soundly mediocre but it was 1995 and the Saturn needed RPGs.

The only King I'll acknowledge

incredible things are happening in China

Please be safe out there.
