Just what I wanted for my lucha commentary, a corporate hipster, a Fox News contributor, and a completely checked out Konnan.

Finally started watching The Bad Batch and, even as a Republic Commando fan, I physically cannot hate Clone Force 99 because Wrecker fucking German suplexed a droid in the first episode!

Took some time off from working on videos to finally check out South of Midnight. The gameplay itself isn't anything special, but the presentation and atmosphere are amazing!

So, let me see if I understand Clockwork Revolution correctly: It's Dishonored meets RPG meets Sands of Time by way of HG Wells?

I just know that I'm not going to be able to monetize the next two videos because of it, but I'm too proud of my parody of the Clone Wars intro to cut it.

Nothing like waiting for the same amount of time it took the original Oblivion to install off of the disc back in the day just to check out the remaster for a bit.
The best part? I don't even like Oblivion.

Finally caved and bought the Wizardry remake Digital Eclipse did. So far loving the QoL changes. Especially the one which lets you re-roll a character's bonus stat points right there instead of constantly repeating the whole process until you get a roll you like.

Finally found a companion program for the original Might & Magic that gives me an automap! The only downside is that the game window defaults to the top left of the display when I use said program.

I did not see a Mildred Burke biopic coming. Nice to see some mainstream acknowledgement of women's wrestling actually existing before Fabulous Moolah killed it.

Who asked for Gladiator meets Fire Emblem meets XCOM? Nobody? Well, too bad! Because LucasArts made it anyways and the end result is one of the best Western-made tactical RPGs of its generation.

My all-time favorite Christmas present. I can't even remember what made me want it so bad as a kid, but I spent the rest of my Christmas break doing practically nothing but playing Sid Meier's Pirates.
