There is! But it's harder to find the amplified version, I'm waiting for them to reprint more.

I really enjoyed my time with Resident Evil Requiem last weekend! Probably my favorite Resident Evil game (so far - I've only played RE 2/4 remakes). It balanced the creepy survival horror & fun action sequences so well. I'm itching to go back & play more that I've missed 🫑

I keep getting questions about when the next FFVI playthrough will be posted. Not to worry, Episode 2 is coming out today at 2pm PT! All my let's play episodes will release around that time on days I'm not streaming. Which currently are Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays πŸŒ™βœ¨

Yeah, they released it digital only on switch/PC a couple years ago.

I hope we see more type moon editions in the future! Was a bit sad they never made one for the Fate Night Stay UBW localization.

Have Collector Editions Gone Too Far??
YouTube video by orbalology Have Collector Editions Gone Too Far??

There are a number of problems with many collector editions. From price, preorder process, to quality control. Is this the tip of the iceberg? Are they getting too excessive? And... did I buy the Sky 2nd Chapter CE?

Around new release time I often get asked how & where I decide to play new games… so I finally ranked all ways to buy games by my personal preferences.

People getting mad at me saying I miss Kiefer or showing a screenshot from an official Square Enix trailer that shows him past the first few hours of the game. Like... c'mon. This is how the game was promoted, it's not a spoiler lol

This is going to be a super exciting week! Not only will I be streaming RE Requiem on Day 1 but I'll also be launching a Let's Play channel later this week. I'll be sharing more details soon, but my first game will be FFVI 😁

I recently reorganized the Legend of Zelda section part of my shelf and really love the new layout. Happy 40th anniversary to this amazing franchise πŸŽ‡

When people talk about friend-swapping games locally, all I can think about is how nice it must be to have friends who live nearby πŸ₯Ί

I wanted to keep playing after I stopped streaming last night but I refrained. I really want to see what happens next after things really took a turn, and what ridiculous lines we can choose for Adol to say next πŸ₯Ή

I started up Ys X: Proud Nordics on stream last night & I was pleasantly surprised! I haven't played many Ys games but I found the characters so charming & the combat a lot of fun. Like, this may even rival Ys VIII for me?. Thanks @NISAmerica for the code!

I get accused of clickbait almost daily. I wanted to clarify in case someone who is unfamiliar with my content sees your comment and misunderstands.

Now that Xenoblade X will have a Switch 2 physical... does it still make sense to upgrade our physical editions? Or are these versions really NOT worth it, even for physical collectors?

I put this Wargreymon model kit together last night in stream and he's so cool πŸ₯Ή He's nearly impossible to pose but I think he just needs some panel lining & stickers before I call him complete ✨

Why Younger Players Aren’t Connecting With JRPGs
YouTube video by The JRPG Pursuit Why Younger Players Aren’t Connecting With JRPGs

One question that has been circling in the JRPG space lately is why younger players aren’t connecting with JRPGs the way older generations did. Is it generation differences? Longer development cycles for franchises, or something else? Check out today's new episode πŸ‘‡ youtu.be/huntxBI0CKo

Some developers being no shows at the State of Play... makes me wonder what they've got hiding for the rest of the year 🧐

It gets worse. People just put a percentage or number based on what they think it should be. Without any sort of source than "it just feels like the number would be this."
