I made a quick video of my game room. Nothing fancy. More or less a time capsule of a great day. ๐
Thanks for looking

Proud to say I served as service technician for many of the cabinets and machines on display at SEGA's K1speed takeover for #SDCC! I've been working with 100 Yen Life for months on this, really honored to have been a part of it! ๐

This was an undertaking, but #videowizardsep31 is out! We got you covered for 8 hours of talk and sounds of the #arcadegames (Double Dragon II, Gain Ground, etc.), home games, pop music, metal, hiphop, movies (The Naked Gun) and TV of '88/'89's winter season.

We're back...
Our #arcadegames focused time capsule podcast has become too big for a single Patreon post and we had to cut our early releases in half. And since the first half is already completely edited, subscribers can now listen to it!

Who Did What At Irem: A (Semi-)Comprehensive Thread
Today, we're going to be doing a deepdive on one of the premier arcade giants of the 1980's. We're all familiar with enduring classics such as R-Type and In The Hunt, but who were the talented men & women that created them?
These are 4 of the STGs (other than our own) I've spent the most time with and/or cleared, with honorable mentions to Parodius Da, Radiant Silvergun, UN Squadron, Deathsmiles I & II, Terra Flame, Devil Blade Reboot, Dead End City and DoDonPachi.
Which #shmups do you have the most experience with?
Cotton Reboot is so good! And Metal black is a unique beast in so many ways. We covered it in our most recent @videowizardspod.bsky.social podcast!

Out now for everyone, it's the @caneandrinse.com podcast I was allowed to host about it! Hope you enjoy it as much as we did playing Segare Ijiri and talking about it. ๐
It's probably not happening before season 2 at the earliest... but I still hold out hope that Duck King will appear in City of the Wolves.

fanart of the game Clockwork Aquario
it's made by the Wonder Boy/Monster World devs and just like those games it's extremely my style. i recommend it!!
I can now reveal that we are covering Segare Ijiri by Penpe and BRAIN DOCK on the @caneandrinse.com podcast, by the end of this month.
I am playing it now with my daughter and itโs a real trip! Perhaps the strangest game I have ever played, in fact!
#playstation #retrogaming
Oooohhh yeah, we have a hunch as to what podcast you're playing that for!
Solid lineup. Can't go wrong with G Darius HD and Into the Breach either.
Ben & Michiel will start recording ep 31 next week!
Got memories of the #arcadegames and pop culture of winter '88/'89?
Touchstones are #doubledragon II, Gain Ground and Wrestle War. As well as films like The Naked Gun.

So let's chat video games!
Happy holidays! Still stuck at work today? Why not make the day pass much faster by listening to the christmassiest episode we ever released!

Over time, a few @videowizardspod.bsky.social listeners have asked me for a Spotify playlist of the #hiphop from the 1980s and 1990s I talk about on the show, and more music that fits this category. So heeeeeere we go!

That's Beyond Oasis in the can, for tonight's upcoming @caneandrinse.bsky.social pod recording.
My save battery was dead so I had to do it in 1 go, starting at 6 pm and finishing a bit before 2 am. Reeeaaally cool game though!
