A2Adam's Blog 2026 - Media Thoughts (January)

Finally I have this complete. Here's what I've been checking out as of last month. Some games, some movies, even a book.

Updates and Construction Work Hey there, I’m currently writing this as I juggle… a lot. I honestly apologize for the lack of consistent updates. Life has been pretty hectic. I do hope however, that everyone has been okay during th...

A2adam's review of Virtua Fighter 2 | Backloggd It's alright, honestly. I played this years ago and hated it but now that I've played better versions of VF2 elsewhere I can respect this more. The Dural fight was a nightmare, but hilariously I beat ...

Played Virtua Fighter 2 (GEN) for the first time while I was out. Quick playthrough means quick review. #a2adamblogs

Contempt for the Creator - Reflecting on Video Essay / Long Form Analysis Culture The issue of having someone poorly represent a topic you’re passionate about (regardless of if there is malicious intent or not) cannot be solved by punching down on someone who was trying for the fir...

Using this opportunity to voice some thoughts based on what I've seen lately, and some of my own thoughts on making videos over the last couple of years.

Virtua Insanity, or How I Feel About 3D Fighters As A Newcomer Virtua Fighter's issue is that in the mainstream, it doesn't get nearly as much respect that I think it deserves.

Finally back with a new piece on 3d fighting games, mainly mulling over VF and Tekken.

Quoting this with #a2adamblogs for consistency:

Tutorial - Exporting Individual Layers as Images in CSP This is something that's pretty niche, admittedly. However, it's already been helping me when it comes to exporting gesture drawings (which I am going to upload more of soon). You can easily view thi...

A2adam's review of Mario Kart 64 | Backloggd Yeah, it's alright.<br><br>It's hard to come to a game like this that's been heralded by generations before me because my perspective will never be the same as theirs. I'm no stranger to kart racers, ...

My ★★★ review of Mario Kart 64 (1996) on @backloggd.com bckl.gg/mcJs

my biggest crime against this game is playing diddy kong racing much more at a much earlier age. i still respect this though #a2adamblogs

May 2025 - Updates It's about that time again, and I figure the biggest change should be outlined immediately. I'm going to be leaving Instagram, and likely all Meta owned platforms really soon. Some may see boycotts a...

A Look Back at Dragon Ball Z Kai’s English Dub After a year, multiple revisions, and multiple collaborators this project is finally done. I know it might not seem like much, and a decent amount had to be left on the cutting room floor just for …

I have a new blog entry on my site with some post video thoughts about everything, and a little bit of insight as to what's coming next. #a2adamblogs

Lamenting Over Lazarus I just get worried due to the fact that this exists as its own property, but the discussion continues to revolve around Bebop, and it’ll affect how Lazarus is seen way more than its independe…

New quick writeup, just wanted to elaborate a bit on some thoughts about Lazarus (and a bit about Toonami in the present). RTs appreciated.

Toonami Rewind – A Failed Experiment I’ve been watching Toonami since I was a child, and in some form or another I’ve watched Toonami’s current [as] incarnation since I was in 8th grade. To say that I’m surprised about the current sta…

Personal thoughts regarding Toonami Rewind (and maybe musing about the necessity about nostalgia on mainstream telelvision over the past decade or so) are right here.

It could've been great, but I won't act like I'm surprised that we're at this point.

Update regarding the Dragon Ball Z Kai video: Some of you may be a bit confused about the status of the Dragon Ball Z Kai retrospective, and I’ll take this time to explain. I admit I haven’t exactly been great at keeping things consisten…

New update regarding the Dragon Ball video (I promise it's still going to get done):
