Resident Evil 2 EX Battle's dramatic stage clear never ceases to make me chuckle.

Makes me think of "America's Most Wanted."

"...Leon S. Kennedy was last seen fleeing from the scene of the crime" *DUNDUNDUN*

Resident Evil 2's Leon B ending with its "Hey, it's up to us to take out Umbrella! *slap bass cue credits" is just the perfect amount of cheese. I love it so much.

EarthBound / Mother 2 2025 desk calendar. It's on November with a screenshot of Ness in Tenda Village.

November.

(Sad my EarthBound/Mother 2 2025 calendar is reaching its end!)

My first attempt at a YouTube short resulted in the sides of the video being cut off in the YouTube app despite being rendered in 9:16. So, wonderful.

Never saw the original Friday the 13th until now. Was the "ch-ch-ch-hah-hah-hah" music actually scary to viewers back then? It's so silly/funny to me now.

Happy Halloween! Beware! If you see a twitching genic corpse in an old waste shaft, it may or may not be infested with baby rustphages. 👀

I saw the sequel Split in theaters. It was...something.

Begging every retro game port studio to use the pixel dot clock rate of every console when determining horizontal aspect ratio stretching and scaling. pineight.com/mw/page/Dot_...

I replayed it last year in the Anniversary Collection and I enjoyed it, limiting myself to looking at maps/guides only when I was really stuck. I even jotted down notes and drew crude maps so I wouldn't get too lost.

Cray's way of celebrating National Cat Day was waking me up at 6:30am by chunking in 2 different places on the carpet.

Watching Australian streamers play Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection is very funny because they'll talk about beloved characters like Baraker and Kitaner

note the legals: LRG's using Japan's arbitration system for orphaned games to reissue Little Samson—if you can demonstrate that you've made a genuine effort to contact/identify a potential rights owner to no avail, you can legally commercialise an old game by paying royalties to the JP govt, which…

I literally just finished watching the Nirvanna The Band The Show web series for the first time and find out their new movie showed in SF today and will show again in November as part of their tour...both sold out. Nooooooooooo

I have a distinct memory of seeing Super Bomberman's box art in a store (maybe KB Toys?) as a 5-year old and marveling at the idea of plugging in more than 2 controllers into a Super Nintendo.

Great news, I always wanted to check this game out! Will it be an NES reissue as well, or just current-gen?

Those Little Samson NES cart sellers can officially get f**ked.

😢

The last trophy in Katamari Damacy REROLL is to roll up every single damn object in the game and I think I'm stupid and stubborn enough to do it.

I love that remake and I love the Mega Man X-as-hell guitar solo ending theme

Dead or Alive for PS1, Dead or Alive 2 for Dreamcast, Dead or Alive 3 Platinum Hits for Xbox, Dead or Alive 4 for Xbox 360.

I like how I went from owning 0 Dead or Alive games to owning 4 of them.

In honor of Tomonobu Itagaki!

Why yes the whole reason for this was so I could listen to "In the House - In a Heartbeat" at my leisure. With "A.M. 180" as a bonus.

Got some CDs from Discogs. 💿

P.S. Discogs is pretty sweet for getting secondhand albums! I'm surprised I slept on it for so long, especially given how Amazon just continuously delivers broken jewel cases whereas with Discogs you can buy from collectors who care.

YouTube video by Super Guitar Bros Super Ghouls & Ghosts - Stage 1 "Haunted Graveyard" - Super Guitar Bros

I really appreciate Super Guitar Bros. tackling Mari Yamaguchi's Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts version of the classic GnG theme, since that was has the additional section.

The game has a lot of great tunes beyond this one. Stage 2, Stage 2 Boss, Stage 3 & 5 are all standouts.

Wow I wasn't aware of this one! But it makes sense as an answer to Virtua Fighter Kids. It's funny how the intro is all live-action and heavy metal, only to segue into cutesy chibi characters and a colorful title screen.

By the way, the Game Boy version of Battle Arena Toshinden is what I grew up on, and it was legitimately awesome. Wish that'd get ported, too.

Hell yeah! Battle Arena Toshinden 2 has one of the greatest, most underrated fighting game soundtracks of all time. Hope these ports will be up to snuff.

I have a thing for criminally underrated games!

Spent a decent chunk of time trying to figure out if my purchased copies of Parasite Eve & Parasite Eve II were using reproduction artwork or not. But I've looked deeply at it, compared it to another collector's, and I think I'm OK? If anyone has their own copies, I'd appreciate additional thoughts!
