Back in 2003, I rented The Sims on Nintendo GameCube and it was fun, but I never got far in Get A Life mode because The Sim's mood is stuck in the red because needs drain faster than a Game Gear. But, the fun part is the customization because I can create Sims and decorate houses and stuff.

I'm too scared to drive because I get anxious behind the wheel, and not to mention I have tunnel vision. I rather have someone drive for me because I feel safer.

Except when the driver is driving too fast or driving in the passing lane, then I get anxious.

Here's more pictures of Next Level Pinball Shop & Museum, which is in the Portland, Oregon area. Overall, it's a fun place, and I recommend checking it out.

I'm aware it's not the best first impression on the NES, but I grew more appreciation for the console when AVGN entered the scene in 2006.

In 1996, I saw an NES for the first time at Melissa's house, a friend of Mom's who took care of me during the summer when I was a toddler. Her son Chris owned an NES and I remembered the screen was glitching until he put a piece of paper on top of the cartridge and it was fine afterwards.

While I was walking around at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo, I saw ProJared, one of the YouTubers I watch, walking around with someone. I wanted to talk to him, but I didn't want to bother him.

Social phobia wins again.

We're back home now in Mesa, AZ. Portland Retro Gaming Expo was a lot of fun, I have a haul full of video games from the convention, most of it is for the Nintendo GameCube, and this haul cost me over $600.

Next up is Game On Expo 2026 in March, 2026, so I better save up.

We landed in Portland, Oregon and we went to Next Level Pinball Shop & Museum and it was a lot of fun. I plan on posting more pictures of the place next week, but for now here's a picture of me and it's been a long time since I posted a picture of me on the internet, I should do this more often.

A while back, I got Sleeping with Sirens' Complete Collapse album on Record from Zia Records and it's a special version of the album which is exclusive to Zia Records. The special version comes with a download code for the album.

Also, I love this album, one of the best from Sleeping with Sirens.

Rest in peace, Tomonobu Itagaki, the creator of Dead or Alive series and other games like Devil's Third and the revival of Ninja Gaiden. He will be remembered as a rockstar video game developer rocking his iconic sunglasses.

He will be missed.

I'm like this whenever I meet with people at a convention.

Christian Perry @runaboutgamer.bsky.social · 6d

I'm excited but at the same time I'm nervous about the convention because I'll be meeting with some people, one is a friend I know from the internet, and the other one is a friend I know who runs a video game store I visit often, but I don't know them on a personal level.

I've beaten THUG, I had a fun time and I unlocked Iron Man. Now, it's time to move on to THUG 2 and Kellin Quinn of Sleeping with Sirens fame is back as a custom skater.

Also, Shrek is an unlockable skater in THUG 2, I'll take a picture once I unlocked him for meme purposes.

Nice.

This weekend, I'll be attending the Portland Retro Gaming Expo in Portland, Oregon. Believe it or not, this is the first time I'm attending a convention out of Arizona, and I hope I have a fun time.

Skate 4 is a ok experience, but it's free so I can't complain too much.

I sampled the first game back in 2007 at a kiosk and I hated it due to controls. Later in life, I tried the game again and I don't hate it as much as I did back then. But, it takes some time to get used to.

I see.

Christian Perry @runaboutgamer.bsky.social · 10d

To be honest, I haven't touched this game since 2016.

Christian Perry @runaboutgamer.bsky.social · 10d

Bullet Witch is such a bad game on the Xbox 360. Yet, for some reason it's one of the more rare Xbox 360 games because it cost as much as a new game. I remember the plot is nonsensical, the combat is ok, I like the destructible environments, and I like the main character. That's all I remember.

I do like me some Tennis games like Virtua Tennis on Dreamcast for instance. I have a lot of fun in the arcade mode of Virtua Tennis, while I have skill issues with other modes for some reason. Perhaps I suck at Tennis, but who knows. In the end I recommend Virtua Tennis and it's cheap too.

Well, I had to replace a shelf in order to have a record area in the game room. Then, I listened to a bit of Pierce the Veil's Misadventures album on record, and I think it's a neat experience. The sound is fine, but it could be better. Overall, I think records are neat.

Christian Perry @runaboutgamer.bsky.social · 12d

I've decided to get serious in terms of collecting music, so I've decided to get a record player with MCR's The Black Parade album because I love MCR.

So, yeah.
