Never got to play the Saturn version before which has features not found in any other version of the game. However, I bought this translated copy. SOTN is my favorite game ever, & finally getting to play the Saturn version will be an absolute treat!

9th game finished in 2025. The story deals with some interesting themes but is kind-of all over the place. The platform puzzles could get insane! A very good indie effort!

Four Christmas movies to know me by:

Yeah, this one grabbed me, too. Sue me.

Hundreds of interview subjects & thousands of f-bombs on Hot Ones can't be wrong!

I don't get it. My views are going up, but I'm losing subscribers like crazy. I lost over a thousand in the last couple months. What am I doing wrong?

A long forgotten Diablo-clone based on the anime. One of the richest games in its genre but also one of the toughest.

No game this year held my attention like Ball x Pit.

I'm trying to regain lost ground after my main GameCube memory card got erased! So much progress gone! However, I should've expected it; @rerez.net warned everyone about MadCatz!

Who'd have thought that the best playing, most feature version of pool would be an obscure budget game on GameCube? (It got releases on PS2 and Xbox in other regions.)

My wife & I did a video where we played on the Crazy Tables, & it was some of most fun we had recording!

This was the game that got me into building sims & proved the genre can work on a console (along with SimCity). Games like Aven Colony owe their existence to it.

I don't know why the Budokai HD Collection (360/PS3) left out the 2nd game. Maybe that's why this one was pricey to pick up today.

8th game finished in 2025. This one was fine most of the way but lost steam when I reached Dracula's Castle. The use of familiars and weapon crafting were cool concepts, but the exploration was dull while the fighting was annoying most of the time. Grade: C

7th game finished in 2025. This short narrative game about a struggling indie developer hit pretty close to home. I couldn't help but see myself in the protagonist as I often struggled between doing my projects for myself or for others. I need to get better at that.

Tonight's sci-fi double feature:

I'm sorry; the poster was wrong. Re-animator wasn't scary; it's actually very funny! That is, if you have dark sense of humor.

Rocky Horror is 50 this year, & I don't have time to go to a midnight screening. Watching it at home has to do.

What are some multi-entry video game franchises that are more-or-less totally dead but still deserve a spotlight in today's age?

Need I say more?

It's October! That means I get to scare the crap out of my mom with some great movies!

First up is Sinister!

This series deserves a LOT more attention! Any game where you fire soulsucking sawblades at 10-story-high demons needs to be played!

@mattmcmuscles.bsky.social Hey, dude! I saw your latest video; awesome as always! Sticking with Sega, you should absolutely crush the most WTF fighting game I can think of. I mean, who was asking for a butchered version of Virtua Fighter 2 on the Genesis?!?

Started playing Panzer Dragoon Saga. Even though it'd be an easy pick for Treasure Chest, I'm thinking of doing a retrospective of the whole Panzer Dragoon series since I have all 4 games.

The original Sonic the Hedgehog is an all-time classic that had plenty of great ports.

Except on Game Boy Advance where it's almost unplayable.

Yes, I still watch "Howard the Duck".

No, I'm not quacked. 🙄
