Rapier wit. Eclectic humor. Melodic bass voice. Pretty good meatloaf.
This month, Movie Mandates is mandating movies that make you say, “What did I just watch?” Up first: House, the nearly inexplicable Japanese film from 1977 where a girl is bitten on the butt by the floating, disembodied head of her classmate.
And that's not the weirdest thing that happens!
After 25 long hours, this year's Extra Life marathon has come to an end and your stupendous support and generosity smashed through our $4k goal, raising an incredible $4791 for Rady Children's Hospital!
We did a wonderful thing this weekend and I hope you all had as much fun as I did.
We've raised almost $3500 for Rady Children's Hospital during the course of the Extra Life marathon. Awesome!!!
There's still three hours left so let's see if we can hit our $4k goal!
Time for our ever-popular After Dark segment. We'll be playing Stellar Blade for the next hour or so.
Donate any amount to pick Eve's outfit! Here's a list (I have everything but the paid DLC outfits): stellarblade.fandom.com/wiki/Nano_Suit
It's a long marathon so let's keep the blood flowing with the vocal stylings of Hatsune Miku in Fitness Boxing.
Donate any amount to pick a Miku song for me to workout to. Here's a list: en.namu.wiki/w/Fitness%20...
Now that we've revisited the original Trails in the Sky. It's time to explore the remake.
FOR THE CHILDREN!!!
Let the 2025 Extra Life video game marathon to raise money for Rady Children's Hospital commence!
I'm livestreaming games for the next 25 hours!
-Trails In the Sky
-Fitness Boxing ft. Hatsune Miku
-Stellar Blade
Come on by and join the fun!
Interestingly, the hardest part of the Extra Life marathon isn't staying awake during the wee small hours of the morning after gaming for 15 hours straight... it's now.
The hour or two before the stream starts. My prep is done and I'm essentially pacing back and forth, waiting.
The Extra Life 24 video game marathon to raise money for Rady Children's Hospital starts today at noon PST!
Tune in at 11:45 for a video covering the origins of Extra Life and why we do what we do.
At noon, we'll start in with Trails in the Sky!
"How do I avoid being ghosted?"
Stop dating the undead.
Why don't witches have white cats?
Because they're unfamiliar!
I told this silly Halloween joke at work this morning.
I have never had a joke bomb so hard in my life.
Happy Halloween, everyone!
May your day be filled with fun costumes and yummy candy!
Pic of my attempt at scratch mac & cheese.
Not bad. Texture-wise, a little grainy but the flavor's definitely there.
I think I had the heat too high on the roux so I had some clumps in my béchamel I had to manually break up.
I'm cooking up some kielbasa to mix in then I'll bake it with a cover of parmesan and panko.
Well, it appears that when I went shopping last night, the checkout person didn't put the flour I bought in my bag, even though I paid for it.
This is one reason I always use self-checkout when I can.
Keleigh can't be here for this year's Extra Life event which means I'm on food prep duty. She was going to make scratch mac & cheese to compare to the nostalgia of blue box Kraft.
Now I have to conquer one of my culinary incompetencies... cheese sauce.

It's cool that owners of the Switch version of Animal Crossing can upgrade to the Switch 2 version but I bet they're not saying the price for a reason.
*looks it up*
Huh, it's $5. Pleasantly surprised but probably not a great sign that I expected a ripoff.

Behold! My Debut Review for THIS MONSTER WANTS TO EAT ME, a show about an unsatisfied woman (well, schoolgirl. This is anime) who wants a beautiful mermaid to eat her.
Nope, no subtext here!
(Don't forget the Extra Life marathon is this weekend!)
If we raise $1k for Rady Children's, I'll match the largest donation up to $100.
Well, we just raised $1k so I threw an additional C-note in the pot!
If we raise $2k, I'll increase my donation to match the largest one up to $250!
The Extra Life marathon to raise money for Rady Children's is this weekend.
Here's what I'll be playing!

Film poster for Weapons.
Weapons - Dynamite premise. Well shot. Interestingly structured. Kinda boring.
BUT!!!
The climax is so AMAZINGLY goofy that it made up for the whole thing and I'm glad I watched it!
Nintendo: What will it take for you to make us another Smash Bros.?
Sakurai: My own Nintendo Direct for Kirby Air Riders.
N: Done.
S: Feature length.
N: ...like 70 minutes?
S: No, I'm thinking like an hour forty.
N: Uh, can we split it in two parts?
S: That'll cost you 5 amiibo.
And... it's not playing my drive-in.
Well, poop.
And yes, that's George Romero's kid writing and directing. Hope she knocks it out of the park!
Film poster for Lake Mungo.
Lake Mungo - Faux-documentary about a family who might be haunted by the ghost of a recently deceased member.
Neat idea, does a nice job of keeping you guessing whether it's ghosts or not, and has a decently original payoff but overall is just kind of dull.
With Keleigh's absence, I'm going to pull Hunt a Killer (the tabletop, investigative mystery game) from the schedule and save it for next year. It just wouldn't be very fun playing solo.
But hey, that means more time for Trails!
Sad news. Unfortunately, my sister Keleigh will not be able to come out for the Extra Life marathon this year.
Keep an eye out for her in that chat though, she should still be making her presence known!
Granted, it appears mainly as a device to cross-promote the Pikmin Bloom phone app but still, a bit odd. Nintendo's gonna Nintendo!

Pikmin 4 is getting an update next month to add photo mode, hard/easy difficulties, and hidden pikmin wearing funny hats.
That's cool and all but the game came out over two years ago so seems a little late to the party.
Hey, a new Debut Review! Haven't had done one of these in a while.
Today, I take a gander at the first episode of THE SUMMER HIKARU DIED. Does the protagonist like Hikaru for Hikaru or will any organism inhabiting his corpse do to stave off loneliness?
