Our first full video INFINITE PERFECT production covers the intersection between the bizarro world of film negatives and the fantasy zone of Space Harrier. It's a wild ride.

Kendo Rage (1993) // SNES

The decision to localize a game about a magical girl who has to use a kendo stick to save the world from pollution and evildoers was a choice, man.

I thought I knew a lot about the Super Nintendo, but then I accidentally discovered Shien's Revenge (1994) and a new path lays before me.

What the hell were we doing in the 90s? Is this why we're on the verge of autocracy?

Spent some time capturing footage of 32X games while watching sports. It's rough out there. Cosmic Carnage might be the clunkiest 2D-fighter I've ever played, but it does look have a nice look with big, chunky sprites absolutely bonkers character designs.

Glad I discovered that @markennis.bsky.social is on bluesky. Have spent the better part of two football seasons googling "mark ennis twitter" to get his thoughts on Louisville football games since I deleted my twitter account.

Followed too many college basketball accounts and now I feel like I did when I used to follow college basketball too closely (bad).

In an age when social media is falling apart but nobody blogs anymore, it feels gleefully irresponsible to run a website where I just post things like this ff8isthe.best/2024/02/i-ma...

after some deep soul searching, i am deeply saddened that we only spoke about the toyota echo for one (1) episode of our 44 podcast episode exploration of FF8
I want to know who won this, but also I want to review this car

Hold on I have a great idea for a post comparing the KBB value of a 2000 Toyota Echo to the price of a graded sealed first edition FF8
