martydotzone - Twitch Streets of Rage finishing first playthrough - then Castlevania Bloodlines - please no backseating thx

I’m live on Twitch playing Sega Genesis action games. Does this live thing work automatically? www.twitch.tv/martydotzone

already thinking of ways to get into arguments on Christmas so I can run to the basement bathroom and watch your stream

I like this a lot, which game from them should I play first? Thx 😊

“Found stuff I missed”, as in, missed stuff they couldn’t possibly get the first time because the game didn’t give them the verb yet?

The ‘ideal experience’ is to walk past stuff I can’t get, until I reach a boss deliberately tuned to be too difficult, so I come up with the idea to backtrack?

Labyrinth of Time: Fighters and on the 3DO

@philsalv.bsky.social I really want to reply to that conversation (but I can’t) and say that Irvine does do it one more thing in FFVIII, he gives Squall a porno mag to increase his chances of something happening with Rinoa. Which is something teen boys used to do for each other but is lost today 😂

I knew it…

we are in a rococo era of gaming and desperately need punk rock

Thank you. Great podcast.

I'm not Yaoi Convention-gay but I'm gay enough to take this off your hands

so what you’re saying is that you mulled over it

If you want to see the sheer creativity and imagination of an old game that recently got preserved, I'm going to try and finish Ghost Rush! on the LaserActive. The game features claymation, puppets, 3DCG graphics; its super arty and weird twitch.tv/martydotzone

May I recommend Alex Kidd in Shinobi World which has tons of fun secrets, weird drone-y music like early My Bloody Valentine, and a lobster that shoots lemon wedges at you and dies with melted butter on him

“Games are art” but also “we demand you *fix* the story in Mass Effect 3”

mfw I see u streamed 2AM - 7AM my time again

After 19 years of listening to Retronauts you’ve done episode art that utterly breaks me

did they *deliberatey* stretch a 4:3 image for their main banner

LMAO I got the exact same clarification from my mom one night just completely out of the blue

Squall’s gonna need an icebreaker at the end of the video….

YouTube video by martydotzone 26th Anniversary Final Fantasy VIII x Echodrone AMV

It is the 26th Anniversary of the best Final Fantasy: FFVIII. I dedicate this AMV (anime music video) to @philsalv.bsky.social for keeping the passion for FFVIII healthy and unapologetic.

as a fan of classic and progressive rock…. 😅

I held off on Blue Chicago Blues and now I can play the LaserActive version 😎

I call it “clock-in clock-out gaming” because you sit down and play for a hour, and you are guaranteed 1.2% more progression on your file. You can be mentally checked out for the entire hour and yet the result is the same. You’re never asked to do even one crucial input.

I think so. Some people really don’t like ambiguity or ambivalence in their media, it seems to make them uncomfortable. Instead of making a personal connection with a pice of media, a loud minority of people want canonical explanations, and reciting these in-universe facts seems to be the draw.

LaserActive emulation has arrived!!!! | Checking out some games on the Sega LaserDisc add-on twitch.tv/martydotzone

LOL nobody crack open that Goati egg!!!

thank you for immortalizing the Divine Ice Cream Cone

that’s a lot of yesses 🥹

Have you seen this comic about Sonic in the style of 1960s American counterculture comix? It was on the last page of a otherwise normie British gaming magazine

Last time I got Subway they put only put 7 meatballs in my footlong. I know they did it on purpose because the manager was training the sandwich artist on their first day. I worked at a Subway and if I shorted a meatball my Croation grandma manager would have chewed me out so hard.
