After March 3rd, people other than me will be posting regular Return to Dark Castle content. Does this mean that I'll have to step up my game beyond the annual Halloween and Christmas videos? We shall see.
Regardless, I hope it'll bring over my saved games.

In 1967 Leonard Bernstein said this was the best song popular music had yet produced. I'm inclined to think the same in 2026. The outro can still elicit tears from me, at any rate.

If I could dress any way I wanted and it was socially acceptable, I'd go round dressed like Cruise for a Corpse Boy. Minus the mustache.

A nice warm shower won't do anything to hasten your recovery from a cold, but it sure does take the edge off.

The new Speedball lacks all the whimsy and charm of the originals. Like the recent Mortal Kombats, it makes the mistake of leaning into the brutality, making it a big deal, rather than just letting it happen as a matter of course. They do this crap every time they try to resurrect this series. Boo.

Went to the library, forgetting Tuesday is the night they host the chess club I've been meaning to check out. They invited me in, and before I knew it I'd lost to two different people, but I had fun all the same. There's an 82-year-old dude there who's unstoppable.

A game can't qualify as the best racing title for any platform unless that game contains some sweet ass jumps. Given that this excludes much of the C64's library, what does that leave it? Stunt Car Racer, Buggy Boy and Super Off Road leap to mind. What else? Any motorbike games where you catch air?
