Hey all! Gonna punt the next long form video to Friday - January is the time to lack gumption on YouTube since ad revenue suuuuuuucks - so I'm gonna let myself rest a bit and play Ghost of Yotei.

But! Friday - Underrated and Overlooked DS Games!

This month’s Video Games Monthly unboxing somehow turned into a full-on Game Feud. NES, Genesis, Game Gear, GameCube, and a few picks I did not see coming. Honestly? That’s half the fun.

Today, my child is seventeen. And as lucky as I was last year to be Victors dad, I'm even luckier this year.

I love you, bug. Happy birthday. ❤

What are the bet #NES games of all time? That answer is different for everyone.

Inspired by Riff from Pixel Game Squad and PixelPlus - here's my list.

Now that I have it and can't pry myself away from it...Ghost of Yotei would have been #1 or #2 for game of the year had I played it in 2025. Absolutely incredible.

It's hard to dethrone #Dispatch for me, but Yotei is right up there.

(Since the Fatal Fury series is technically the spiritual sequels to Street Fighter, I was stoked as hell no one had done this that I could find! It’s possible but I’m very very happy either way)

My 2025 #GOTY Game of the Year countdown is live.

25 games, zero review scores, just the ones that stuck with me the most this year.

What took your top spot in 2025?

Big Pilsner doesn't want you to know this, but you can put Dr. Pepper & Cream Soda Zero Sugar into a pilsner glass etched by @kcartandapparel.bsky.social and they can't do a thing about it.

Need your own glasses etched by a dude that can do any custom design you need? Kris has you covered.

If you or someone you know is getting a Meta Quest, use MY referral link and start with $60 in the Quest eshop for free! That's enough to get a game or 3.

With a library of over 1500 titles released on the #GBA, there's bound to be some classics that slip through the cracks and get overlooked. Today, I'm bringing you 10 that I think EVERYONE needs to play.

Hawkeye is so wildly overlooked. It's an amazing series and one of the best Christmas focused things out there.

"I'm sorry! Go-Bots killed his cousin!" is one of the greatest lines of dialogue in any Christmas special. I love the Guardians Christmas special.

What are the best beat ’em up games of all time?

I compared my own Top 25 list against the AV Club’s picks, and yeah…I had some thoughts. From arcade legends to modern brawlers, this one covers a lot of ground.

Very proud of tomorrow's video. Ran with a concept that the AV Club put together, tweaked it, and made my own thing. It's almost 40 minutes long, but I'm excited to see what people think of it.

Howdy all! This weeks video is big, so I'm gonna take an extra day on it. It'll be REALLY fun, though, and worth the wait - especially if you like Beat 'Em Up games. ;)
