Some games are so fun you have to uninstall them for your own good (and your backlog’s).
Seeya, Megabonk, and thanks for 112 hours or entertainment!

Huh. Why are flights back to Japan double the price over what they’ve been the last 4 trips…?
Oh, wait. Here are some cheap ones.
With stopovers in ABU DHABI.
YES. THAT SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT IDEA.

That greedy, evil dumbass is affecting everything under the sun. Until he bombs that, too.

Auditioned for a Japanese commercial. In the room, staff had bottles of tea in front of them.
To me, it looked like they were bottles of pee!
I couldn’t help but grin goofily.
I got the job!
On set, director praised my bubbly personality at the audition. So I channeled my pee-bottle energy once more

このゲームを最近始めた。楽しみ！

Megabonk is a rare game where I had to stop myself from playing. As in: You’re playing this too much.
Been a fun 100 hrs, but when I play for hours without a lot of progress or records, it’s time to move on.
It’ll still make my next Top 100 list, though - which is deep in development.

Trying hard to pitch like Guy Cooper.
Super dooper!

My shoulders have never looked better, and I can still kick well over my head.
Your 40s ain’t the end, is all I’m saying.

I am watching a documentary on El
Duce of The Mentors, filmed in ‘90 and ‘91.
A lot of GWAR involvement in interviews and such. The stories they told me about El Duce was…incredible.
I don’t know what was a work and what’s a shoot with the guy.

Today, 10 yrs ago, I arrived in Japan. What was a 1-yr contract became a 6-yr journey that reset my life. I lost & gained so much.
1000 pages couldn’t sum up the experience and my feelings.

Chris and I share a mutual friend, a former wrestler who died of ALS after a long and arduous battle.
I know ALS and MS aren’t the same thing, but both are devastating and I wouldn’t wish either upon anyone.

RIP Bill Shields ♥️

Metroid Prime 4 Switch 2 Review I didn’t even think I’d have a Switch 2 before Metroid Prime 4 came out. But eBay and a wife who was playing a ton of Animal Crossing on a rundown Switch 1 will do funny things to a man. And when I…

First review I’ve written in a while:
Metroid Prime 4 for Nintendo Switch 4. A safe but sinful sequel.

There are things that should be services available to the citizenry provided by the government for very affordable prices: medical care, education, and postal services.

ZOE1 was my first professional review. I overscored it, but it was a good game.

About to start a new game. And with my new PS Portal, I can play away from the TV.
You may know I did performance-capture on Death Stranding 1, so I’m excited to finally see what @hideokojimaen.bsky.kojimaproductions.jp & team did for the sequel!

Dread was really good. Loved the tension and I got used to the parrying mechanics. And its ending was consequential and satisfying.

My first trip to Japan, I went to Enix to see that Star Ocean for a feature in Game Informer.
13 years later, I moved to Japan for 6 years.
Almost 4 years later, I regret ever leaving.

Hoo boy. I may have to write a review for Metroid Prime 4.
It’s a 3/5 if I’m being honest with myself. I don’t regret buying/playing it. It had pleasant parts but was very safe/inconsequential & it damaged Samus’s aura almost as much as Other M - arguably more so due to the timing of the “incident.”

This is a Mushroom ‘dom.
Don’t catch you slippin’ one.
My tongue be rippin’ one.
Buckin’ off plumber’s son.

History repeats because of stupid people.

Stupid Farmer: We don’t need to maintain the fence around the chicken coop because no foxes have killed any chickens since we put it up.

Stupid Farmer, 1 week later: Hey, where’d our chickens go?

Oh wow. Japan treated us well during the pandemic and now they’re actually fostering game dev?
Real talk: I miss it every day. Literally.

If you need to put down other groups to elevate yours, maybe your group doesn’t deserve to be elevated.

This goes tenfold if you’re not even a marginalized group.

That’s the first way I played/beat HL2

My wife is actually using my Steam Deck!
…to stream Final Fantasy X from the PS5.
Well, it’s still progress.

Are my wife’s house sandals impersonating Mick Foley’s Mankind?

I tried RE4 Remake a few months back and felt the control just wasn’t there. Maybe I shouldn’t expect fluid FPS controls on a survival horror game - a genre I’ve never been super into despite continually trying.

Oh, see? I was just about to finally watch it, but after this review… 😆

I bought 3 PS3 games today:
Gran Turismo 5
Tiger Woods 08
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3

Total: £4.50

Amazing How cheap games are from the first truly HD era.

No clue. And I saw the movie in cinemas and bought/beat the original game when it first came out.

25 years of me having never seen it! ✨
