I don't really have anything thought provoking about my refreshing beverage tonight, just that the cityscape of Cleveland featured on this here can of C-Town from Collision Bend Brewing Company made me think of Raccoon City from Resident Evil Outbreak. That is all. 😎
I keep forgetting to promote the things I do... 😅 That said, check out my latest written review on Little Nightmares!
While I love spooky and suspenseful games, my wife does not, though she's actually the one who got me into this one...

Pragmata early thoughts...
1. This game is shaping up to be Game of the Year material for me.
2. This game is going to ruin my productivity.
3. I will do anything to protect Diana.
4. If something happens to Diana, I will be irreconcilable and will need months of recovery.
Yes! I think you're gonna love it!
I don't think I've really talked about it, but I am stoked to play Pragmata! Just grabbed this from my local gaming store Duck Duck Games! Anyone else interested in this new Capcom release?
New podcast episode is live! In Expedition Log #6, I sank my teeth into Resident Evil Requiem.
I'd love for you to experience what this game is and what it meant to me. There's music, clips from the game... and it's all spoiler-free.

Final Fantasy Explorers on the 3DS is a pretty competent Monster Hunter clone, and a bit of a guilty pleasure! Though I don't play it a ton. DeeDee seems mildly interested, though. Or it's the treat my step-daughter is holding off camera.
I was fortunate enough to have been gifted a couple new Funkos for my collection! A very pleasant suprise I wasn't expecting. I can never decide if I want to go nuts collecting these or not... 🤔
Still working through Luigi’s Mansion 3. Came for the spooky vibes, stayed because vacuuming ghosts and random objects is somehow more satisfying than cleaning my actual house.
There's something dangerous about a quiet night in Skyrim. You start with a drink... and end up somewhere you didn't plan to be. Huge shout out to Great Lakes Brewing Company and their tasty Conway's Irish Stout, a beer fit for a Nord!
Check out my latest blog featured on the SuperPod Network! I discovered a rare games on the GameBoy Advance and you have to check it out!
My attempt at a Yoshi Easter egg today! Though I might have squeezed it out of an actual Yoshi judging by how my hands ended up...
Jumping into a crowd of orcs… and walking out untouched. Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor is STILL that satisfying.
Check out my latest written review in the Expedition Log and find out why, 12 years later, this is a journey worth taking.

Couple more days left for my annual work trip, and I'm sitting at lunch thinking about these two. Help me get my mind off my pups! What games are you playing!?
Who doesn't love 80's action flicks? No one, that's who! Check out this podcast episode from @retrohangover.bsky.social - It's fun, contains some awesome 80's movie bangers, and is enhanced with amazing sound effects like explosions! Go listen, and punch that terrorist while you're at it!
Hey, want to interact with the podcast!? I'm working on an episode on Fatal Frame II, and if you want to share your thoughts on the game or a fun memory, leave a comment below! I'll read and respond to your comment during the intro segment of the show when it drops. 🔥
(Deadline: 3/25 5PM (EST))
Another written entry into the Expedition Log is live! This written review is all about Mario & Luigi: Brothership on the Switch!
This game is a good RPG… that might be a little too long for its own good. Why? Open up the logbook here and find out.

Dexter just wanted to stop by and remind you to do that thing you've been putting off. Happy Monday, friends.
Finally rolled credits on the original Fatal Frame II. I had a great time overall, though I'm still trying to decide if this brand of horror is for me or not. Either way, it's about time I get to making a podcast about this! (As an apology, I'll be dropping a short "Expedition Log" episode soon!)
On Saturday mornings, I used to catch reruns of Jonny Quest, the coolest cartoon ever. I loved the incredible stories and high-tech gadgets! And this show is still awesome today.
Did you have a favorite Saturday morning show? Of course you did, share it!
I love strategy guides. When I was younger, I loved them because they told me everything I needed about the game. Now that I'm older, I love when they include artwork, lore, and anything else that lets me fall back into an amazing experience.
Man, it has been a long couple weeks. Still working through the original Fatal Frame II. Having a great time, but missed another podcast episode deadline... 😓
It'll be a good show when it comes together. Should be fun, so thanks again for y'alls patience!
Back at it I go! Smile for the camera!
Happy Mar10 Day, my friends! To celebrate, I wanted to share my thoughts on Super Mario Wonder, a game packed with surprises, creativity, and some truly weird Wonder Flower moments!
Check out my written review in the Expedition Log here: theretrowildlands.com/blog/super-m...
I've only ever played the original Sims on PC waaaay back in the day, but it was fun! Very curious how the experience will be on a handheld like the PSP. I mean, DeeDee sure looks excited. Or constipated. Unsure.
At long last.
A new Expedition Log is live!
This time I’m diving into Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, a game about mortality, legacy, and why some journeys stay with you long after the credits roll.
I’ve struggled to explain why this game means so much to me… but today I try.

I LOVED this game for... some reason, lol. I actually played it on the PS2 and didn't realize it was on the N64 until a few years ago.
Boobs! Haha, I really liked this game for what it was and I love games with unique ideas. Just... wish there was more! Gameplay, I mean... 😉
I just reviewed one of the strangest games…
Imagine Sin City as a match-3 puzzle game. Grit, corruption, adult themes... and Bejeweled-style combat.
Does the style outweigh the substance?

Ha, I feel that. But when the time comes, I can tell you it'll be worth every one of your hard earned pennies. 😎
