I'm about 6 hours into Okami at this point, finished the first dungeon. Why isn't this game a bigger deal? It has so much going for it. It's 3D Zelda with better combat, beautiful art, fantastic music, and it's hilarious. Have to play more but this is looking like an all-timer.

KF's passion, joy, and care for the art form and industry of video games is a huge part of who I am today. They changed how I talk about games and their content has pushed me into writing for a small publication and making my own videos. Appreciate all that you guys do @kindafunnyvids.bsky.social

You should play games you don't like from time to time. Being able to articulate what you don't like about a game is just as important as being able to talk about what you do like. And hey, on very rare occasion you may find your tastes have changed - maybe that thing you hated is good actually?

Some Christmas pick ups! My partner never disappoints! The mouse will be helpful when I pick up FF14 again, and the books will be essential to expanding my knowledge and skills in my content!

Still thinking about that Elden Ring: Nightreign trailer. Re-watched it and found Centipede Demon from Dark Souls 1. They're really putting all the Dark Souls bosses in here! Anything from anywhere could show up in this game and that's hype as hell!

Wowwww Astro Bot GOTY! Honestly, any of those games deserved it and though FF7R is my personal pick, I'm glad Team Asobi is FINALLY getting all their flowers after so many years of great development. Hats off Team Asobi!
