The video version of the podcast went from saying "this is going to take five hours to process" to "oh hey, it's up now," so here it is! Talked a bit about It Takes A War, Q-Up, Powerwash Simulator 2, Xbox games on Switch 2, the news, and so on and so forth. youtu.be/6uPajFJBQFc
The Jeff Gerstmann Show 179: This Week in Deceptive Video Gaming
Between Q-Up and It Takes A War it’s been a good little stretch for games that might not quite be what they seem. Let’s talk about those along games that are very much what they seem, like Lumines…

YouTube seems to have decided that it doesn't like processing AV1 videos so the video version of the podcast won't be up for another seven hours. Did the State of Play in x265 and it'll be up pretty soon. Weird that this still happens.

It'll be another 20 minutes or so before it starts, but I'm just about ready to go live for today's PlayStation State of Play. Come watch! twitch.tv/jeffgerstmann

My gambit to allow my daughter to play Super Mario Jamboree seems to be paying off as she just shouted "I'M STARTING TO HATE THIS GAME" and all I can do was nod in approval.

I think hardware sales might've gone differently for Xbox if they could've figured out whatever design flaw led to this unfortunate situation.

The last few years of getting a zillion "great" offers for "we know what's holding you back on youtube book a meeting now" or "do a video and we'll give you $2 every time someone installs raid shadow legends" has led me to a single finding: anyone with a .gg domain is probably running scams.

Shout out to the spineless fucks out there trying their hardest to double my health insurance costs.

I guess the manuals weren’t quite ready when SNK sent out Dive Alert for review.

My daughter installed Mario Party onto the Switch 2 and now she's just sitting in a corner saying "I'm bad at this game" every few minutes. Not sure when to let her off the hook and say "no, you're not the problem here, it's this garbage-ass video game's fault."

It took forever on the YouTube processing end, but this week's batch of ranked NES games is finally here! This week includes Batman Returns, High Speed, Ultima: Quest of the Avatar, and more! youtu.be/pqDkIlWjLsM
Batman Returned to the NES This Week | Episode 116
More weird pinball "ports" with High Speed as well as Pony Canyon's slightly off take on the Ultima franchise. Plus a weirdly interesting ripoff of Star Raiders and... Scramble? Vanguard? Both? On…

Could really go for an episode of AEW Rampage right about now, it'd be nice to have some solid Friday night wrestling again.

YouTube's been real slow lately on the encoding side. Tried to yank some music out of a video after posting it and the processing spun for like four days. Now today's archive says it's going to take hours to get up.

The time for science is upon us! Let's rank a fresh batch of NES games, including... wait, Ultima IV was on the NES? Cripes. twitch.tv/jeffgerstmann

Sometimes you find yourself wondering "man, what's the difference between HexD and sigilkore, _really?_" and spend an hour listening to some of the worst bullshit raps you've heard in like a decade! But at least I know the answer now? Sort of? Time well spent.

Sonic Rumble is out today, it's a bad Fall Guys with some wildly expensive monetization. But don't let that distract you from the part where the game is bad? Anyway, I found myself wanting to know more about it so I played it and now I know. Here is a record of that, in case you also want to know.
You Probably Don't Need to Play Sonic Rumble
The idea of a Sonic-themed Fall Guys ripoff coming out in late 2025 seems insane. Like what, was this three years late? Anyway, I've seen a lot of complaints about the monetization in this…

I was going to make a joke that Curtis Sliwa was just going to shuffle back to making the sleaziest public access TV show that 1983 New York has ever known, but then I glanced at his actual history and it's way funnier.
November 5, 2025 at 3:39 AM
As someone who does not live in New York, my desire is simple and, perhaps, a little self-serving: I would like to never see Cuomo's stupid fuckin' face or hear his stupid fuckin' voice ever again. It'd be great if that creep just lost this election and went away forever.
