Hi, I'm Adz! To anyone new (or any potential followers), here's what you can expect from my account.

I've liked video games from an early age, and I enjoy talking about them. I recently started a JP PS1 collection, so expect to see pics from that. I'm also thinking about other platforms... 👀
Post a console you never got to play!

I never got to play on a Saturn. I never knew anyone with one, so never had the opportunity. A Japanese Saturn is on my list of stuff to get, though. I'm curious...

Despite my age, I don't really feel old. This is partly helped by my good perception of time, I think. Whenever those '[name of console] came out XX years ago!' posts come up, I think "Ha! Your feeble attempts to make me feel old hath no dominion upon me!", as I'm not really surprised.

After thinking about it for a while, I decided to get a NeGcon!

For those unaware, it's a third-party controller by Namco that's twistable on both sides. It's primarily for steering in racing games.

I'll have to give it a shot soon!

It's time for another JP PS1 game. Here's another Tetris game I own; Magical Tetris Challenge.

As you can probably tell, it's Disney-themed, and features some of the more well-known characters. It also has some unique mechanics (including giant Tetriminos!).

Arcania has some great luck with treasure maps lately. Last week, she had two dungeons clears, and some nice streaks with the gambling part...and this week was more of the same. On top of that, every single map she opened had a portal!

I've finally got around to Control, after getting it for free on Epic ages ago (during one of the many times they've gave it away). I'm enjoying it so far. Some very intriguing story/world aspects, and the combat is pretty nice (love the telekinesis power!).

Some behind-the-scenes shots of Arcania praticing ahead of some gigs she has lined up. She'll be debuting her unique take on a song she heard in another shard; Don't Fear The Reaper.

(Note: Much like the wind, the sun, OR the rain, Arcania does not fear the reaper! :3 )

I saw @fattcactus.bsky.social was doing some $5 doodles the other day, so I decided to ask for one of Synthwave. I liked how it came out! Always nice to see my characters in other styles.

Finished this earlier! A nice, chill card fighting game with some great music, and lovely character art. If that sounds like your thing, check it out!

Just finished Laugh Track! Always nice to see something new from @fictionfactorygames.com! Their humour really hits, and the countless swipes at the 'Right' are spot on!

It's free-to-play on Steam, so check it out...and maybe grab the donation DLC if you like it (I did, as I want to see more!).

My JP copy of Capcom Fighting Jam for the PS2!

It features characters from Street Fighter, Darkstalkers, and Red Earth (including best girl Sakura! :3).

I got this from a shop in Osaka during my 2024 Japan trip, along with one or two others. Briefly played it, and it seems cool!

As someone with sound sensitivity and an expectancy for my flat to be somewhere I can relax, living somewhere with crap sound-proofing is terrible. 🥲

Next door has had a guest over this week, and while they haven't been TOO bad, ust normal conversations can be annoying when there's no escape.

Didn't know what game to showcase this week, so I decided to fall back on a soundtrack instead. Here's my copy of the full Final Fantasy VII: Remake soundtrack!

All the discs come in sleeves with some nice art on them (based on stills from the original game).

In late November, I visited ArCains in Liverpool with my brother and one of my nephews. It was a late birthday outing, as I turned 40 last year!.

I had a great time there! Plenty of machines available; both new and classic. They even had some modern and retro consoles. Definitely worth the visit!

While I'm just as capable as being down as the next person, one thing always sticks with me; keeping a positive mindset. It won't solve everything, but it'll make it easier to get through life. If you keep living expecting the worst of everything (even GOOD news), then you won't be a happy person.

Becky having a bit of a stroll in a local park, wearing one of her favourite outfits.

Officially my first drawing of the year...and the first I've posted in quite some time! 😅 As always, I can't guarantee regularity. It really depends on my mood.

That said, hopefully there's more on the way!

Fun fact about Arcania; ever since her black mage days, she's used a very weak fire spell to keep herself warm in any climate. It means she can easily brave the harsh weather in Coerthas while still slaying in her favourite skirts!

Dressing for the season? Arcania doesn't know the meaning of it! 💅💋

This week's JP PS1 game; Gungage!

A third-person shooter with four characters to choose from. It seemed pretty interesting from the gameplay I saw, so I decided to add it to my collection at some point last year.

Again, the manual is such a good example of how detailed they once were!
January 3, 2026 at 12:25 PM
I won't lie, I'm not doing great again. It just feels like I have no purpose. No matter what I do, that never seems to change.
January 3, 2026 at 4:09 AM
In case anyone missed it. 😁
As the Giant Bomb site recently changed sites, and there's currently no way of making lists, this year's Top 5 will be delivered here...right now! (It'll be on GB eventually, though)

I'll present it from 5 to 1. As always, it's games I've played this year, not necessarily released this year.

Hope everyone had a good Christmas! Were you good this year, and get a lot of presents? 🎁

...or were you bad, and get coal from Krampus?! 😈

Arcania hopes it's the former, but she can play the part of both with ease. 😏
