Regular viewers of FORT90 TV are very familiar with individual below, whereas most everyone else I would assume might have more than a few questions; tune in tonight (see www.wonderville.nyc/events/fort9...) to have them answered… maybe (and yes, some game-adjacent content is also in store)

I'd be remiss if I didn't offer yet another preview of tonight's FORT90 TV (which officially launches the FORT90 BROADCAST SYSTEM, see www.wonderville.nyc/events/fort-...; tune in to find out what the hell I'm talking about) given how it also ties into local game culture happenings

In case you missed it, here is an actual video that the Department of Homeland Security posted on Twitter that they are now distancing themselves from it, in a cowardly move that should surprise one one, cuz Nintendo has made it be known that they are not pleased (see www.tmz.com/2025/09/24/p...)

Thanks to @unitof.com, I just found out about asses[dot]masses:

"A game controller sits at the front of the stage. Brave spectators take turns each night stepping forward from the herd to seize the means of production (the controller) and become the player. There are no instructions…"

… Oh, and here's another Katamari MV that I'll be playing next time, provided there even is a next time, given how I've made jokes about Trump during past broadcasts and all (via youtu.be/BjTNKumjMlA)

Here's a Katamari music video for anyone who missed it during this past Monday's FORT90 TV, as well as for anyone who needs a break from the current discourse (via youtu.be/vlZiUlleC-k)

I didn't have the bandwidth to promote it last Monday, so hopefully those who regularly tune into FORT90 TV caught @sixthtone.bsky.social's profile on the owner of the last arcade in a northeastern part of China (if not, the full video accompanies their article; see www.sixthtone.com/news/1017537)

Am mostly posting this here as a reminder to show the entirety of this news story about the clusterfuck that is McDonald's Japan's Pokemon Happy Meal card set during FORT90 TV in two weeks; this coming Monday is FORT90 FILM CLUB (see wonderville.nyc/events/fort9...), after that is OPEN VCR NIGHT

Another video game-adjacent "thing" from Monday's BEST OF FORT90 TV was the JennyFax 2020 S/S Collection (via attract-mode-collective.tumblr.com/post/1888133...); took 3 replays over 4+ years to cultivate an audience that finally got the appeal, but dammit, it finally happened
August 1, 2025 at 3:45 AM
As previously noted, tonight's @wonderville.nyc broadcast (again www.wonderville.nyc/events/fort9...) is a showcase of classic cuts, and anyone who has kept track knows that I'm been slowly but surely replaying No Continue Kid; we're finally up to the 90s, when Virtua Fighter 2 reigned supreme
July 28, 2025 at 8:00 PM
… And here's another thing that pertains to Jet Set Radio, tho I only just found out about, and once again since tonight is when I recycle older material, it won't make air until next week (so am placing it here as a reminder; via youtu.be/HLM7byBgr2o)
July 28, 2025 at 2:55 PM
Tonight is another "BEST OF" broadcast (see wonderville.nyc/events/fort9...), which as one might have guessed is a focus on classic cuts, tho before I start promoting that, I should maybe share this trailer to the upcoming film adaption of Exit 8 from last week's vanilla edition of FORT90 TV…
July 28, 2025 at 2:45 PM
… I also have this look at a collab btw Sega & a rollerblade label that's centered on Jet Set Radio, which I can't recall anyone else talking about, tho with so much noise & nonsense to sift through, it's hardly a shocker if everyone missed it (or if it's just me; via youtu.be/LFZI3EITzRA)
