"WE GOT MOVIE SIGN! WHO'S JACK PERKINS!?"
The saddest thing about rewatching The Critic is how many of their movie parodies are basically like these unspeakably awful ideas for films. Like stuff Hollywood should never even consider making.
Ya know like...Jurassic Park 2. Home Alone 5. A third Ghostbusters...Texas Chainsaw Massacre 4...

I really need a proper therapy session where I can just let everything out. I've just got so much weighing on me that it's getting harder and harder to keep going.

So, the way I do my Patreon GOTY award is I let people nominate 5 games and use a point system.
I'm currently staring at 3 ballot sheets consistently of 15 different games, so it's basically just a three way tie.
Proof that 2025 was a great year for games, I suppose. People enjoyed a lot of stuff.

I'm a huge fan of unicorn depictions where they have beards and lion-like tails. Just something to make them seem slightly more fantastical than "Horse, but with horn"

I really can't stress enough how much I love @ninjadalua.bsky.social's Saci from Exodus Checkmate. I see this dude as like the Jack Frost of their dev team. I wanna see this guy pop up in like everything.

I can’t date someone who eats overnight oats. You clearly have high expectations for the future that I don’t think I can live up to.

The sequel to one of my top games of 2025 and one of my favorite visual novels ever is on the way and it looks as eerie and unsettling as the first one!
Also Emil is marrying Andi. Cool. Coolcoolcool. I’m not totally heartbroken by that. 😭

I've felt really bad because lately I haven't been able to get videos out to Patreon backers early like I promise. Well I promise THIS video will be up for all patrons today!
When just depends on if it finishes rendering/exporting before I have to leave for work 😅

“Giddy up jingle horse, pick up your feet” sounds like something I’d say to a twink around Christmas because I’m bad at flirting

That DOES look like what I was thinking of. And there’s nothing like that in Persona? 🤔
I may be thinking of this sword from TMS#FE (the Noble Rapier, if the FE wiki is accurate).

Can someone help me out with a MegaTen-related query?
I could have sworn that in some Persona game (I thought it was 3 or 4, but maybe 5) there was a weapon that basically just looks like a big unicorn horn. Like a long, white, spiral sword.
Am I crazy? I can't seem to find this anywhere.

I don't have this, but is there anybody out there who can help Kevin out? @didyouknowgaming.com, I know game preservation is important to you. Mind spreading the word and seeing if we can find it?

I know it's basically a meme at this point, but this COULD be where they announce P6. It'd be a summer show, which is usually when they announce their big holiday game for the year, which given that 2026 is Persona's 30th anniversary, SHOULD be Persona 6.
