NEW VIDEO!

Listen to me talk about Donkey Kong Bananza and why it's quickly become one of my all-time favourite video games, ever ever EVER. Shares appreciated and all that!

Watch: www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXcP...
I'm happy to say that I've got a new video coming out soon - something that was long, long, LONG overdue, but I'm happy to finally get it out the door this week. You might know what it is, but you'll know for sure in good time!

It's a bonus #Kongversation where Matt and I discuss Rare Collection 1 for Evercade, including the first-ever reissue of Conker's Pocket Tales! Does it still hold up? Did it ever? What do we think of this format? And what future Rare Collections would we like to see?

I do like how if I want to play the new Mega Man game (which I do), I STILL don't have to buy a PS5. 14 years later, the PS4's still getting games that suit me.

Rowlf said "Donkey Kong Bananza" and "The Game Awards will always let you down". All is well.

Today (among most other days) we remember Maddie Blaustein, and I always like to share this Pokemon Chirstmas Bash cover I did to honour her work. Carter Cathcart did the instrumental for this song, so it's a double-dose of Meowth celebration. Always and forever.

A pretty big undertaking for me: I interpreted how the #DonkeyKong Land title theme might sound in DK64! Of the three DKL pieces I've done so far, this one is by far the most creative/reimagined, while keeping the actual meat of the song entirely unchanged.

Well, this showed up on my front door... guess I gotta play Metal Gear next year! @mikerphone.bsky.social is gonna make me take back all the smack I've said about Kojima one way or another.

Just saw the Bojack Horseman episode "Escape from L.A."

Good. God.

I'm involuntarily shedding tears.

It's Chris's Corner time, everybody! Buckle up for a rant...

Specifically, the news that Amazon's new Stargate series will take two years and be aiming for an initial run of ten episodes.

I'll be the first to admit that that's plenty of minutes of screen to tell a compelling story. But... (1/X)

Slightly over 30 pages long? That'll take us three-and-a-half hours! We continue our Donkey Kong Country 2 retrospectives with a #Kongversation look back at its cherished instruction booklet!

Charlie Brown's picked out that same cruddy tree for 60 years. So here's a promo for when he was at the 35-year mark.

"Why, Charlie, why??"

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

Why doesn’t Donkey Kong swim underwater in Bananza when he easily does it Donkey Kong 64 and most Country games? It’s a very small detail, but it’s communicated in animation when he briefly dips beneath the water: Pauline frantically holds her nose. She can’t swim, and DK doesn’t want to drown her!

I also gave this baby an edit this week - give this one a watch too! Always love hearing about 7th gen games and their troubled stories.
What happened to this paranormal police procedural?

One hundred percent! What a fun time. Maybe I'll try boss rush and Arcade mode down the road. And I'll keep my eye on the DLC too!

Gave this an edit just this past week, written up by Dr. Lava (with some additional editing from him) and narrated by HPShredder. I implore you to give it a watch!

Got Shinobi Art of Vengeance on PS4 (via sale) and it was a blast. Perfect difficulty, a perfect tone and atmosphere, and so many fun challenges. I think I'm gonna try 100% 'ing it, I had that much fun. Don't need a PS5 just yet with the games I can still nab on this thing!
