Thanks to everyone that joined the stream! It took 8 hours but I did it. I finally beat bloody Battletoads. That means this week I beat both it and SMB2. I think I've deserved a nice rest.

Until Tuesday when we kick off Dragon Quest December! I'm so hype to play DQV!!!

Seriously, I mean business. I've bust out the Guv'nor! There are 2 full cafe tea bags in there!

(Usual streaming Wallace & Gromit mug for size comparison, which is about 1.5x larger than your average mug as is)

Also, this is the best costume in the game so far. No contest.

Thanks to everyone that joined the stream! We certainly finished GGCX for 2025 with a bang. We went into overtime overdrive, but the deed is done and SMB 2 has been defeated.

The vote for the first game next year is a doozy and it's open now in the Discord. See you all on Friday for more Katamari.

If you are cracking out the DS anyway, it might be worth looking at "Tadashii Kanji Kakitori-kun" as well. A good game for daily kanji writing practice.

I feel bad that I can't stream for the next week so here is a photo of my new slime friend.

What a funny little goo-ber.

Look how sexy the official Sega PS2 keyboard is! No it definitely isn't just generic keyboard they printed Sega on.

The retro event in Nottingham today was pretty good. Had a nice walk round and picked up some stuff I've been after for a while.

Excalibur is going straight on the 'to stream' pile.
Shot of the hall where the Nottingham retro event was held today. Lots of people wandering around and checking out games.

Reminder team no stream today because holiday.

To make it up for it, here is the game I picked up today. Look at that goofy ass dinosaur!

Thanks to everyone that joined the stream! We spent a lot of time falling down holes but Gremlins 2 has been defeated.

Poll for challenge #90 will be on the Discord shortly. See you all on Friday for the end of Resi 5 and my last stream before my holiday.
Me on stream watching the ending cutscene for Gremlins 2 on the Famicom. The protag and his girlfriend (whose names I have misplaced) stare at you alongside Gizmo. Man the cutscenes in this game look so bloody good.

Apparently the Megaman Star Force perfect collection was only in the Japanese Direct.

So yh, if you didn't know we are getting a much needed Megaman Star Force collection. Some of those games are silly money.

Thanks to everyone that joined the stream! I beat the game with best girl Momoko and it genuinely hurt to turn the console off and lose my save. I can't wait to play this again and see how wacky the other endings get.

See you all on Friday for more Resi 5 Sheva gaming.

Man, I can't wait for work on this video to be done. I've been working on this off and on for like 10 months now. I don't want to spend this long working on a video again for a long time, so my next couple of projects will definitely be much shorter.

Here's a sneak preview frame for you to enjoy.

Thanks to everyone that joined the stream! A lot happened today: started deathless, some guys died, beat Elesa deathless, some more guys died, beat Clay deathless, caught a Joltik... Good times. I look forward to more next week!

See you all on Sunday for either Spellcaster on MS or Berserk on DC.
Screenshot form the end of the Pokemon Black nuzlocke stream. Overlay shows I have 5 badges now and the team of 6 is as follows: Jenny the Herdier, Makai-Mura the Throh, Takeshi the Servine, Tar-chan the Watchog, Battletoad the Trubbish and WinGoddes the Joltik. All at level 31 except Makai-Mura who is level 32. I am giving the game the cheeky side eye.

Thanks to everyone that joined the stream! We seem to have a decent run going, but no G1 wins. The game keeps throwing more and more curve balls. Now I have to worry about having my horse win enough money, but the game won't tell me how much I need to win?

See you all on Friday for more nuzlocke!
The final status screen for our best horse so far; Dynamite Waltz. It only won 1 in 5 of its races, but it made us enough money to actually start playing the game. We love you Dynamite Waltz, have fun at the glue factory.

Checking over the copies of Platinum I've obtained over the years and hit the jackpot! 1 cart has 2 event mons!

Shaymin was only available in Tokyo at a pre-release event for the Giratina movie in 2008.

Jirachi was the 1st wi-fi distributed mon, available from Nintendo Zone at McDonalds in 2009.
