For #RandomGameSaturday I present to you WarioWare: Snapped! for the Nintendo DSi.

It uses the DSi's camera to perform head and hand tracking, so you are going through the minigames by moving your hands and tilting your head.

It's a bit janky due to the hardware limits, but *super* creative.

One last Halloween beer review.

Spring House Brewing Company Braaiins! Pumpkin Ale

Lovely can art. Hits the Halloween beer flavor profile, but not sure how else to describe it. It's good.

Marshmallow Ghosts vinyl nailing the aesthetic.

This morning's Count Chocula had crunchy pieces, regular bats, and one Castlevania stage one boss bat.

Halloween beer review.

Lancaster Brewing Co. Baked Pumpkin Ale

Tasted like an apple crumble dessert. Sweet but not sickeningly so. Apples, caramel, cinnamon. Quite tasty, really. This is exactly the kind of weirdo seasonal beer I'm after.

Tröegs Master of Pumpkins Ale

This is the one I wait for every year. Tends to be very forward with the clove flavor, but apparently that is exactly what I look for in a seasonal beer. Smooth, not watery. An easy favorite.

Cape May Brewing Co. Pick of the Batch Pumpkin Ale

The cashier told me that these were selling quickly. Very smooth. The spices are well balanced; quite noticeable but not smacking you in the face. Subtle but not bland. Perhaps my fave of the season so far.

Dogfish Head Punkin Ale

It's a pun. Brown ale with good spices. Pretty smooth drinking.

Quality spiced ale. A seasonal favorite for me. Good stuff.

Evil Genius Trick or Treat Chocolate Pumpkin Porter.

Tasty chocolate porter. Didn't pick up any pumpkin flavor. Bold can design; very orange.

Peak late-90's game. Playing N64 and PS1 on an iMac G3.

How about some hardware for this #CIBSunday ?

This is the Hori Game Repeater for the Nintendo Famicom. It plugs into the front of the Famicom at the expansion port, and then you plug an external controller into it.

What it does is let you record your controller input and then play it back!

This week's #CIBSunday game is Dudes with Attitude for the Famicom.

This had an unlicensed release for the NES back in the day, and was one of the first NES games I bought with my own money.

ITG.Soft worked with the creator to put out an official Famicom release in 2024 (pictured here).

Took me a few weekends, but finally got my CD player up and running again. I thought it was just the belt connecting the motor and the carriage (I have to replace it every few years), but somehow the gears had gotten out of alignment. Probably from large house cats using it as a launching pad.

This game over screen from Missile Defense 3-D on the Master System has always struck me as kind of bleak.

For #CIBSunday this week, here are some new GBA E-Reader games by @retrodotcards.com . I had fun breaking out my GBA SP and finding a charger for it so i could get these things going. I actually bought an E-Reader off eBay back when these were announced. Fun so far!

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn’t from Star Wars, Star Trek, Dr. Who, or Transformers.

All IPAs taste the same, but the artwork on this one reminds me of the first boss from Life Force for the NES.
