I've been busy these last few weeks! My journey continues as I stopped by @pixelprojectradio.bsky.social to continue our narrative discussion around Final Fantasy Tactics. Definitely check it out, it was good one!

Retro Wildlands #74 - Top 10 Spooky Video Games
Darkness falls across the Wildlands, and the time has come to face the games that once haunted my dreams. In this episode, I’m sharing my personal Top 10 spooky...

It’s pretty surreal — playing the remake of a nearlt 30-year-old masterpiece on a device that lets me beam my #PS5 from home. What a time to be alive.
Happy Birthday, Matt! You're a genuinely awesome human, and I can't wait to see what 42 has in store for you! 🤘
Want to interact with our next #podcast episode!? Coming soon, I'm counting down my #Top10 Favorite Spooky Video games!

Let me know what #spookygame is your favorite (and why!) and I'll read and respond to your comment on the show! Comment soon, I'm hoping to have the show recorded in a few days!
It was my privilege and honor to visit house Firestone once again on the @pixelprojectradio.bsky.social #podcast as Rick Chris from @anovelconsole.bsky.social and I and talk about a game that I loved when I was younger and found a new appreciation for as an adult. Check out the episode, my friends!
The FINAL FANTASY TACTICS analysis begins! Join us as we dissect what makes this tale of class stratification beset on all sides by inequity a classic. Discussions begin with development, the GREAT score, and—of course—the battle system. Blame yourself or God. Hope you love the show, links below!⬇️⬇️⬇️
One shot, one signature.💀 I'm not one for collecting funkos or signed memorabilia, but I couldn't resist adding another #Punisher #funko to my collection, especially one signed by Jon Bernthal himself!
Posse assembled. DeeDee and Dexter are ready to ride into the undead sunset.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a game I can't stop thinking about. @pixelprojectradio.bsky.social has a 4 part analysis on the game and I enjoyed every episode. Absolutely check it out!
For those who come after.

Thrilled to release part I of our critical analysis on CLAIR OBSCUR: EXPEDITION 33! This episode discusses the game as a whole before examining the prologue and a bit beyond. Color symbolism, what it means to grieve...and bitchin' saxophones. Please enjoy, links below! ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Haunting Ground is one of my favorite spooky games, but not for the traditional reasons. Check out my thoughts in a blog that's just waiting for your eyes and attention!
Say what you will about remakes and remasters, but sometimes the right one can make you feel like a kid again, and I'll gladly pay for that experience.
Pairing craft and craftiness tonight: a can of Truth from Rhinegeist and my very first run through F.E.A.R. on #PS3. One promises hops, the other psychological horror. Cheers, gamers! 🍻
New #podcast episode is live! This time, I’m diving into Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest, the oddball entry in the FF series. You can listen wherever you get your podcasts or on our website!

Is Mystic Quest the forgotten gem of the series… or its biggest misstep?
While at the #ClevelandGamingClassic, I had the pleasure to meet Britt Baron, the voice behind Tifa Lockhart in Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth! Britt was an absolute sweetheart, genuinely curious about my #FF7 history, got me into the game, and eager to get her autograph for my wife just right!
I ended up coming home from the Cleveland Gaming Classic this past weekend with a decent haul! Lots of #Playstation love this time, and I tired to add more to my small Vita collection. Got a couple #PSP games for my massive collection, too. And the Master Sword to hang on the wall!
Thanks for taking the time to read it, I appreciate it! I really think you'd enjoy it, I left the experience going, "Yeah, that was actually pretty good!"
Another mini-review from the Retro Wildlands just dropped! Check out my thoughts on Terminator: Resistance, the one attempt to recapture the magic of the first two movies that largely succeeds.

Forget the sequels. This game is the real #Terminator 3.

Hey, want to interact with the #podcast?! Coming soon I'm checking out #FinalFantasy: Mystic Quest on the SNES!

If you have any memories or thoughts about #MysticQuest you want to share, I'll read and respond to them in our opening segment of the show, Campfire Catchup! ⛺️🔥
I'm very excited to be diving into this again! I have a lot of fun memories with this game as a kid. Can't wait to hear the discussion!
Pretzels. Cool Ranch Doritos. Nuts. Pizza rolls. Grapes. These are just some of the things I put in my face when I'm gaming. What do I like putting in my ear holes? A #podcast episode from The Flight from @retrohangover.bsky.social. And this time they're talking nom noms.
"Perni-haze", I meant to type. Damn my fat fingers!
Boost chains in Burnout call for a bold brew. Penti-Haze from Wicked Weed Brewing brings juicy haze and big flavor, the perfect fuel for high-speed chaos. Cheers, my friends! 🍺
2025 is a great year for games! Got my hands on Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound and I can't wait to dive in. I've heard nothing but good things, and it seems to have captured that original #NinjaGaiden vibe.

Have you played Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound or think you might?
