The amount of times that out of boredom, depression, or both I've gone to the hotel website and gone "so I mean, if I completely drained my savings I could stay at Cabana Bay for 3 months. Huh. Thats pretty good." Imagine what someone with a billion could do!

Who on Earth is paying for Mario 1 or Mario 3? Have they gotten really rare? Because almost every house my friends and I rented in college had an abandoned cartridge in a storage space or basement.

That Spider-Man email was the single moment where I realized that bosses were all idiots and I knew more than I ever realized. It was like an imposter syndrome drug.

332 - Fable 2. Xbox360. In honor of the delay. One of my all-time favorites. The first DLC I ever bought in my life was Knothole Island. I was stunned. I got home from work, hit a button and...more game? Was just there!? Revolutionary. I didnt even need to go to the store! So much fun. #365games

I tend to like almost any ride, Im easily pleased. Cat in the Hat is fun, it's fine. Rip Ride Rockit rules and I will miss it. I did this last trip because it couldnt be THAT bad, people must be exaggerating, it had been years since I did it, I must just not remember... ...it really is that bad!

333 - Overcooked! PS4/PS5 Ok the OTHER last really great couch co-op game. Beaten it so many times, with so many folks. Parents, aunts, uncles, in laws. The highest highs are matched only by the biggest arguments. I think my 4 year old may finally be ready to try it, but Im not sure I am. #365games

334 - Towerfall. PS4 The last really great couch co-op game I can think of. Loved playing this, and really dug the soundtrack. We always hoped online play would come, but it just wasn't meant to be I guess. I'd love to see a new one someday, pvp and pve modes are both pretty much perfect. #365games

335 - General Chaos. Sega Genesis. The first 4 player game I remember our family ever finding for the Genesis, and we played a lot of it. I specifically remember my brothers strategy of hiding off screen, so wed think he was dead, only to emerge at the end when someone thought they won. #365games

I think he's going to be very, very confused by HOW it exists. I honestly think he's not gonna understand how it gets made.

Always a great time at the Drive-In Mevent!

I am having trouble thinking of a specific game, but "inflate until they pop" is always satisfying and usually animated really well. Dig Dug did it first, and I know it's been done a ton since, but I can't come up with anything specific...

336 - Virginia. PS4. Wanted to put a weird one on here and finally thought of one. No dialogue. Great story. Incredibly unique. Go into blind if you can. Kind of Twin Peaks-y. Makes you wonder what just happened as credits roll, in a good way. Pretty short and worth a playthrough. #365games

337 - Yakuza 0. PS4. Bought it on a whim and couldn't get enough. Over the next 4ish years ended up beating 0-6. Burnt out but ready to jump back in. Saw Pirate Yakuza was delivered today, I keep buying them just so when Im ready, theyre all waiting for me. Excited to see what comes next. #365games

338 - 'Splosion Man. XBox360. My favorite platformer maybe ever, when XBox Arcade was on a massive hot streak. Its now stuck on XBox360 forever. Im sure its a rights thing, but what a shame. I got every achievement. Twisted Pixel got bought up by Meta, so I doubt we'll see it again. #365games

339 - Wolfenstien: The New Order. PS4. Because I have been thinking about re-playing Wolfenstien a lot lately. I still haven't touched Youngblood.

It was a launch title for the Dreamcast. It was an attempt at a Resident Evil-like, but more campy sci-fi than scary. In hindsight fell into all the bad tropes (pretty sexist) of action movies at the time, but I loved the enemy designs and the world. Director made ILLBLEED next, another DC gem!

340 - Chu Chu Rocket. Dreamcast. Why hasn't there been another Chu Chu Rocket? Why hasn't there been one with online play? Why isnt this game on every device I own? An absolute blast in multiplayer, and so easy to learn it should just be everywhere and its crazy that it isnt. #365games

341 - BioShock Infinite. PS3/PS5. Currently playing, and boy is it...uncomfortable in light of the world today. I get the criticisms of it, but I really love the story, love the way it ties to the series, and its wild to revisit now. The gimmick with the songs is still incredible. #365games

342 - Bloodborne. PS4. The OTHER game that I played a ton of with a newborn, and woke him MANY times by mashing buttons. Being stuck under a baby meant I had to keep my patience long enough to finally have this game click, and boy did it click. An all time favorite now. Got the platinum. #365games

Jeeeez I missed a ton of these. Lets get back to it! 343 - Jurassic World Evolution. PS5. I always loved SimCity, and always loved Jurassic Park. Found this when we had a newborn and it was the perfect "there's a kid sleeping on my chest" game. Loved how you could zoom in and just watch. #365games

May be an obvious one, but I always enjoy The Sims. Upbeat, nostalgic and good background music.

I have been looking for those Simpsons figured forever. Someday I'll find them at a price I can afford. It's my holy grail!

I love this idea and would watch it constantly. Static shots from all around. There's a bunch of walk around ones, but I end up getting distracted by them more than just letting them play in the background.

I was just watching Season 3 of ITYSL, and got to his skit, and it hit me that he has never not been the funniest person in a scene.

I liked Fountains of Wayne, and lost track of them over time. Got old, had a kid. Kid watched Bubble Guppies. Those songs were INSANE. So catchy. Any one of them could have been a #1 hit outside of a kids TV show. I HAD to know who wrote them. And thats how I found out Adam wrote SO MUCH MUSIC.

My 4 year old just asked if that is a REAL DRAGON, so I can't imagine the reaction this is gonna get in person.

Do we stay at Stella/Terra/Helios because they're brand new and exciting, but end up taking a longer ride to all the places we'll spend the most time during the week? With a view of a park we'll only see once? or Stay at Summer/Cabana/Aventura, which we've done, but it's close to the most action?

I realize just how parasocial it is, and I know we don't know each other, but I'm so happy for you. Enjoy tonight Austin!!!
