With only a few hours of sleep and possibly against better judgement, we went to Nickelodeon Universe today.

Gonna get to the hotel around 3:00am. Kids are exhausted. We started at 5:30am Japan time (so yesterday). This has been the toughest itinerary Iโ€™ve ever had.

We ate a little Korean food. But actually we had Taco Bell (which exotic for my kids, they have never had it before)

Minneapolis is better, but yeah US airports are crazy expensive.

To those complaining about the price of Switch 2 games, I present you the Seattle Airport. I bought water and snacks for my family and wound up paying nearly the price of Donkey Kong Bonanza.

Iโ€™m actually flying through Seattle this trip. Canโ€™t wait to pay $8 for bottled water at the airport.

If onlyโ€ฆ it will be a train followed by 3 flights and a shuttle bus. Total travel time 30+ hours.

Who needs Mario Kart World? We have 3D Hot Rally!
YouTube video by Famicom Dojo LIVE! Who needs Mario Kart World? We have 3D Hot Rally!

Edited clip from one of my recent streams. What do you think? Is 3D Hot Rally in the Famicom Disk System a precursor to Mario Kart? Or something else entirely?

I remember really liking Vanquish when it came out. But I havenโ€™t played it in probably 10 years. Does it still hold up?

An in-game render of Ozzy Osbourne, with the logo for Brutal Legend and text that reads, "Free for the next 666 minutes" and the itch.io logo in the bottom right corner

An in-game render of Ozzy Osbourne, with the logo for Brutal Legend and text that reads, "Free for the next 666 minutes" and the itch.io logo in the bottom right corner

To honor Ozzy's larger-than-life rock and roll legacy, we're making Brรผtal Legend *FREE* on itch.io: doublefine.itch.io/brutal-legend

But this incredible deal will only last for 666 minutes, as the prophecy foretold. So get yourself clicking, before it disappears like a demon in the night...

It was peer-to-peer. So most likely you played with your friend who also had the game and maybe you could convince a 2nd friend.

It's on.

(this is a game cart with a built in land-line modem, so we are going to try it out).

I mean I guess it depends on who is asking and the assumed quality of the exchange underwear.

Underwear exchange? Nah, Iโ€™ll keep the ones I have. But thanks for the offer.

Super happy to be involved in this project. If you like the show Red Dwarf you should listen and give them a sub.

I was cleaning and found this behind the dresser. I totally forgot I had Austin Powers on LaserDisc.

Wait. The collectors edition has a game key card? Skipping this one. Would have been in with a regular game card.

And you can help by:

1. Following the cool gamers in this pack.

2. Reposting the link so other people can discover them.

and/or

3. Letting me know who else should be added!
