If you or someone you know is getting a Meta Quest, use MY referral link and start with $60 in the Quest eshop for free! That's enough to get a game or 3.

The only photo I have with Adam the Woo (thanks Humberto!) He was the coolest and treated everyone so cool.

Adam the Woo treated like you were his longtime friend if he never met you. I only met him a couple of times (once at a convention in CA, again at a convention in FL, both completely randomly)... suck to hear the news today.

I had several comments in my last video saying Payless didn't sell NES games. True, Payless Shoe Source didn't, but PayLess Drug Store did. Not sure if PayLess was regional, but it was like a Walgreens if they sold video games behind the photo counter.

Pretty great games for Game Boy in 1993.
I would have loved to have seen Great Greed on NES.

If you're in West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, or even the Pittsburgh area, Join me for All Star Wrestling in Madion, WV where I'll be the ring announcer for the evening.
It'll rule! (and I hear there's an arcade bar in that town)

Selling NES games starting at $2 each and more tonight.

Since I don't have any video game conventions in the U.S. until March, I'll probably be on Whatnot a lot more. Join me tonight at 7:20 p.m. (yes, the time is a video game pun)
