Protip: Keep extra sleeves in a box.
Any pack of 100 sleeves always has a few extra, or you just get them buying collections, so just stash them in a box. You'll never get a perfect 100 for a deck, but to sleeve tokens, Commanders, or singles? It's great to have a stash of them!

Top 4 Friday: Games Of 2025!
This is it, the Golden Gob awards. Unfortunately a lot of 2025 was a letdown, from either gross price-gouging, to half-assed physicals that don't have full games on disc/cart.
But thankfully, these 4 games are not only the best, but fully on disc!

Merry Christmas to all the gobs and gobettes of the world.

Well, I think that's a wrap for Christmas! Last customer served, last Christmas saved.
December has been a busy month as always, but now it's time to relax...Before the rush of Boxing Day.
Don't forgot to leave out an Iced Capp, and copies of DOOM for Santa Gob tonight!

Bought the first Secret Lair for Magic a few days ago and it finally arrived.
Going straight into my Baron deck, for my most evil plan.
Hitting someone with an Ashnod's Coupon...And ignoring the errata.
Such power!

When it comes to colours of your consoles and handhelds, what is your go-to choice?
I do prefer to keep everything black to blend into the darkness while gaming, but for the GBA, I had a Fuschia one, so I've become attached to it as MY GBA, ya know?

Top 4 Friday: Games Of 2024!
What a great collection of games here. All built with the idea of being fun first, and figuring out everything else second. Each of these are what video games should be all about, the joy of just playing the game.
I feel that's becoming a lost art.

When playing Magic, how do you prefer to keep track of life totals? App? Spinner? Dice?
I always have the Lifelinker app on me, as it allows profiles, and can track additional info like Infect, and Commander Damage.

Do you have any signed games? If so, from who?
Years ago, I got to meet Nicholas Picholas (is that his real name?) from Video & Arcade Top 10, a gaming show I was on back in the 90's playing Re-Volt, so I HAD to get him to sign my copy.
Shame the games sucks, haha.

The weekend is almost over, so what were you playing in your off time?
I've started up Shadowrun on Genesis, as I've had the game for longer than I'd like to admit, but never beat it. Hoping to fix that before years end.

Just showing off my small CIB (Complete-In-Box) GBA collection today. Each game here is important for various reasons. DOOM and Duke are obvious, Balloon Fight is great, Fusion is my favourite Metroid, and Tactics is to remind me of how trash that version is.
What should I add?

Top 4 Friday: Games Of 2023!
Never would I expect a good RoboCop game, or for it to be one of the best games I've played.
Aside from that, glad there's a GOOD Baldur's Gate game (THAC0 sucks). Mortal Kombat doesn't disappoint, and we get the best wrestling game in 20 years.

Massive internet outage happening right now, and during a 4 hour event of video game announcements, too.
Let this be a lesson to everyone.
Support, physical, media. Games, movies, music. The internet is not always going to around. Time continues to prove this at the worst time.

The single greatest game ever made turns 32 today.
A small team of just 5 guys changed the entire landscape when they unleashed DOOM upon the world. Few games ever achieve the level of importance DOOM has in history. It truly does run on everything.

Goodbye to yet another weekend, and to all your free gaming time.
So what were you playing this weekend?
I finally started (and finished) the latest Shinobi game, and he has definitely come a long way since his Master System days back in '88!

The Dreamcast's best RPG turns 25 today!
While it's also available on modern platforms, those versions are unfortunately based on the much inferior PS2 version of the game. So if you're craving some grand RPG greatness, seek out this DC original copy of Grandia II!

Top 4 Friday: Amiibos!
Over the past 11 years (!!!) of Amiibos, we've all got a few (or hundred) kicking around. Which ones are your favourites?
For me, it goes Metroid (it's squishy!), Simon Belmont(Fav character), 8-Bit Link (love the design), and Boo! (Glows in the dark!)

On this day back in 1991, just a few months after the SNES came out, it got it's best game, Super Castlevania IV!

Does anyone collect UMD Movies?
Collecting for the PlayStation Portable opens up a lot of great games, but also movies! I've only got a handful here, but if I see some in the wild for movies I love, and they're like $5, I'll grab one.

I've owned a Jaguar for well over a decade now, and yet I've only bought three games for it. Alien Vs. Predator, DOOM, and Wolfenstein.
Well I was QUITE surprised when I was gifted an early Xmas present of Kasumi Ninja!
Of all the Mortal Kombat clones, this one is special.
