I listened to the Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 soundtrack WAY too much this year. To the tune of being a top 0.2% fan. Ha, wow. It deserved every singe moment of my time. And you know what? I still don't know a lick of French...

Not saying my PSP is possessed… but it did start yelling ‘VENGEANCE!’ 💀🔥

I really wanted to focus on completing more games this year and as of today, I hit my 2025 goal and completed at least 50. Between games like The Last of Us Part 2, Metroid Dread, Mario Odyssey and Expedition 33, I ate pretty well this year. Can't wait to rank my favorites on the podcast next month!

Syphon Filter 2 was always the stand out game in the series for me on the original Playstation. Another series that really should come back one of these days...

Al Bacio from Masthead Brewing Co.: a crisp kiss of Italy for a classic tale of family and loyalty.

Forget Tron: Ares. We have the original #Tron at home.

Sorry, monkeys. Beer is for humans! Beer For Humans is a nice refreshing brew from Rhinegeist and is a great companion while you wrangle up those mischievous apes in "Ape Escape: On The Loose" for the #PSP!

Happy Halloween, wildlanders! Hope everyone had a spooky day, either playin' games, dressing up or whatever else one does this day! Me? Just out here slaying demons and handing out candy. 🎃

When the fog rolls in and shrouds everything around you, all you can do, is pray for Daybreak. #SilentHill2 is a classic horror gem that stands out through the fog, and that's why Clear Sky Daybreak from Wolf's Ridge Brewing pairs so well with it. Coffee infused cream ale. Light in the darkness.

I recently joined @retrohangover.bsky.social as a first time guest, and we dove headfirst into F.E.A.R., the first person shooter full of slow motion bullet time, jump scares and a creepy ghost girl! If you're looking for a fun, spooky discussion, check it out!

I've been busy these last few weeks! My journey continues as I stopped by @pixelprojectradio.bsky.social to continue our narrative discussion around Final Fantasy Tactics. Definitely check it out, it was good one!

It’s pretty surreal — playing the remake of a nearlt 30-year-old masterpiece on a device that lets me beam my #PS5 from home. What a time to be alive.

Want to interact with our next #podcast episode!? Coming soon, I'm counting down my #Top10 Favorite Spooky Video games!

Let me know what #spookygame is your favorite (and why!) and I'll read and respond to your comment on the show! Comment soon, I'm hoping to have the show recorded in a few days!

One shot, one signature.💀 I'm not one for collecting funkos or signed memorabilia, but I couldn't resist adding another #Punisher #funko to my collection, especially one signed by Jon Bernthal himself!

Posse assembled. DeeDee and Dexter are ready to ride into the undead sunset.

Say what you will about remakes and remasters, but sometimes the right one can make you feel like a kid again, and I'll gladly pay for that experience.

Pairing craft and craftiness tonight: a can of Truth from Rhinegeist and my very first run through F.E.A.R. on #PS3. One promises hops, the other psychological horror. Cheers, gamers! 🍻

New #podcast episode is live! This time, I’m diving into Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest, the oddball entry in the FF series. You can listen wherever you get your podcasts or on our website!

Is Mystic Quest the forgotten gem of the series… or its biggest misstep?

While at the #ClevelandGamingClassic, I had the pleasure to meet Britt Baron, the voice behind Tifa Lockhart in Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth! Britt was an absolute sweetheart, genuinely curious about my #FF7 history, got me into the game, and eager to get her autograph for my wife just right!
September 26, 2025 at 1:16 AM
I ended up coming home from the Cleveland Gaming Classic this past weekend with a decent haul! Lots of #Playstation love this time, and I tired to add more to my small Vita collection. Got a couple #PSP games for my massive collection, too. And the Master Sword to hang on the wall!

Another mini-review from the Retro Wildlands just dropped! Check out my thoughts on Terminator: Resistance, the one attempt to recapture the magic of the first two movies that largely succeeds.

Forget the sequels. This game is the real #Terminator 3.

Hey, want to interact with the #podcast?! Coming soon I'm checking out #FinalFantasy: Mystic Quest on the SNES!

If you have any memories or thoughts about #MysticQuest you want to share, I'll read and respond to them in our opening segment of the show, Campfire Catchup! ⛺️🔥

Boost chains in Burnout call for a bold brew. Penti-Haze from Wicked Weed Brewing brings juicy haze and big flavor, the perfect fuel for high-speed chaos. Cheers, my friends! 🍺

2025 is a great year for games! Got my hands on Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound and I can't wait to dive in. I've heard nothing but good things, and it seems to have captured that original #NinjaGaiden vibe.

Have you played Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound or think you might?

DeeDee already feels uneasy whenever I play spooky games, and #FatalFrame II is one of the spookiest in my collection. Which makes me very happy to check out the Remake that was announced today!

Any #horrorgame fans out there? Thoughs?
