Maybe so that my timeline isn't dead because I have nothing interesting to talk about, I'll post a video game song I think is cool or something each day. Maybe.

Castlevania Harmony of Despair really needs a re-release of some kind. It being stuck on the PS3 and 360 is unfortunate. It's a fun cooperative Castlevania experience that feels like it gets overlooked. The characters and levels from across the games feels like an all stars game.

I wish there were more tournaments for video games other than standard 1v1 double elimination brackets. I wanna see different formats or wacky rules. Team battles, free for alls, or a different ruleset than the standard game.

Standard brackets can be fun, but I like variety too.

Give Fighting EX Layer a try, everyone. It's marked down to only $1. I personally have a lot of fun playing it. It's a goofy and old school feeling fun fighting game, easily well worth $1 in my opinion.

I don't really like guideline Tetris that much. I'll play any Tetris because Tetris as a base is great, but when I want to play Tetris I tend towards non-guideline games.

I like the chaos of the differences in old Tetris games, and to me guideline is pretty... stale, I guess.

We've basically been using the same controller since the Playstation 2. Don't get me wrong, the layout is good and comfortable, but there has to be some way to innovate it some more.

2 extra face buttons is hardly the big bang, but I think it would be largely a benefit.

Why aren't controllers with 6 face buttons on the standard controller more common, it just feels like a natural step.

A controller with 6 face buttons is really good for a lot of fighting games, and 2 extra buttons doesn't make a controller that much more unwieldy.

Just this small vertical slice looks very good, I can't wait for Virtua Fighter to make a comeback.

I know the point of sites like this is "microblogging," but I frequently run into the character limit all the time and just want to talk without making 50 small posts talking about the same thing.

Maybe I really should just go back to a regular blog or something.

I like how raw the battle theme for Twilight Town sounds in the GBA sound font. The HD version is cleaner sounding and uses instruments, but I just really like the way it sounds on the GBA. I think I honestly prefer this version, the original.

It also feels bad that portable Kingdom Hearts games got pretty much all their multiplayer features stripped out for the console versions. Just chunks of the games you can't play anymore, or in the case of 358/2 Days or Re:Coded you only get to watch them and not even play them.
July 14, 2025 at 3:54 PM
As an aside, while I do appreciate the PS2 Re:Chain of Memories, I think the GBA Chain of Memories is the better game personally. The way the game plays flows better to me on the more 2D plane on GBA compared to the 3D arenas and movement on PS2. Both are fun though.
July 14, 2025 at 3:43 PM
The VS mode in GBA Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories feels very unexplored from what I've seen. It's an odd feature you can't even play until you beat the game as Sora. I'd just be interested to see what good decks and high level gameplay looks like.

This is one of my favorite videos that I never see anybody reference. I watch this video again every so often and I enjoy it every time.

All gameplay and commentary videos have to measure to this classic beauty. In my eyes, you can't get much better.

I always tell people my biggest gripe with Baulder's Gate 3 is that I really don't like the D&D 5e ruleset, it's a testament to the quality of the game that I still like it in spite of that.
June 8, 2025 at 7:45 PM
Neverwinter Nights 2 getting a remaster re-release is pretty cool too. As much as I like Baulder's Gate 3, it'll be nice to play a system adaption of 3.5 again.

We are in the age of VS tag fighters it looks like, they all coming out now. It's cool to see them.

A new Scott Pilgrim game coming is cool, it looks pretty nice from what they showed.

A remaster of Final Fantasy Tactics is pretty good to see, I'm a fan.

I wonder if it's based off the original PS1 game or the War of the Lions version. Either way, I'm glad to have it.

One Step From Eden also has a good soundtrack too, I recommend giving it a listen.
