I have been eyeing Rhythm Heaven. I've enjoyed the series, so I'll eventually grab it for sure. I think the last one I played was Fever, and that was a long time ago!
Hey man, great to see you and glad you made the transition over!
Lookin better than ever
Wow, it really nails that PS1 look!
My wife bought Pokemon Conquest when it was relatively new. I don’t remember if she ever actually played it but she eventually traded it in for something else and I wish she hadn’t. It’s expensive now 😞
Sounds like an awesome trip! My job makes me unfortunately unable to visit China (along with several others, but China’s the only one of them I’d want to go to). Sounds like a great trip, glad you had a good time!
I have been watching this one for a while - I played the demo years(?) ago at this point. It's been a while, that's for sure. Anyway, it totally nailed both the GoldenEye feel and the mission structure that I especially love from that game and the spiritual successors, Perfect Dark and Timesplitters. I'm really looking forward to this one and I'm hoping it's as good as its inspiration.
Pokemon Conquest is one of the craziest crossovers I've ever seen.
Tank! Tank! Tank! was such a silly arcade game. I'm glad it made it to home consoles. Go Namco!
Damn, sorry to hear your blog got lost - I'm guessing it's still there, you just couldn't see it. I just pushed a site update that let's you paginate through your drafts, so check out your dashboard and see if you can find it now using the paginator.
I like the Solitaire games with progression elements as far as card games go. Unless they're fantasy card games. I like those. But, I'll have to watch a trailer of the Switch version just to see what it is.
I don't see PixlTalk on Spotify where I listen to podcasts right now, but I just subscribed to the youtube channel (not sure why I hadn't before). I'll check it out during a game session when I usually watch youtube.
I'm deep into Sonic's All-Stars Racing Transformed and haven't had a silly thought. I'm too absorbed by it, however, I did redo my avatar so I could race with it. I put a BattleBlock Theater head on it with a top hat. So that's pretty silly. I'm pretty serious about doing everything in the game though 'cause I like it so much.
Yeah sorry if I didn't label my podcast blog correctly. You might have to show me how to do that since I can be a big dummy sometimes.
But if you haven't yet, I hope you get a chance to listen to my newest podcast, as it's a pretty special one.
This coming week around Thursday-ish, I plan to post my "Cary's Best Games of 2026 SO FAR" blog, so if you have any suggestions on how I should label that or whatever, please let me know.
Hey I reviewed that Pipistrello and the Cursed Yo-Yo game last year!
Yeah it's not a fun time to be a gamer right now. The Sony thing doesn't affect me much now, since I don't even have a PS5. But I know eventually even Nintendo will go all digital. So I don't know what I'll do yet. Maybe I'll just stick to Switch 2, maybe I'll just go digital and be grumpy about it, maybe I'll find a new hobby, or maybe I'll just play nothing but SNES games. All are possible. Only thing I know right now is I'm going to go where the fun is.
I think all my good memories are one of my favorite parts of reviewing games for so long. Thanks for listening!
I've never played the Clubhouse Games on the DS, but I did get the Switch one. It's pretty neat.
Oh you know my brain is ALWAYS in 'Silly Mode' when I'm playing video games. Keep in mind who I recently married. :)
Let's be honest, even if tech was as cheap as it used to be, Nintendo wouldn't make a console/handheld that is up to snuff with whatever their competitors make.
400 kaizo rom hacks played is wild lol, but yeah I can see how some gamers would lose themselves in that scene because it calls to their gaming needs more than what is commercially available.
Love the short form publication idea.
Fun fact: Star Fox 64 was the only mainline SF made in-house by Nintendo.
SF SNES: Argonaut Software
SF Assault: Namco
SF Zero: Platinum
SF NS2: Velan Studios
I'm honestly wanting to play Assault on NSO Gamecube. And I think they should have given Zero another chance as well.

Yay for silly moments! 😁 Can’t say that I’ve had any silly moments recently. I’ve been all in playing Sea of Stars. That game has a decent sense of humor but it hasn’t been ME being silly
The struggle of working together has lead to some tense, angry moments but the highs have been really high
I would be interested to know which parts of the soundtrack are by which composer because I actually think the soundtrack is one of the weaker parts about this game. The main battle music is fine but what else did Yasunori Mitsuda compose? In general I find battle music to be a weaker suit for him compared to, say, town or overworld music. I recently played through the creepy water tower and snowy mountain parts of the game and I thought the music in those places in particular was a pretty big miss that did not fit the mood of the visuals. That’s a relatively small complaint and hasn’t hampered my overall enjoyment of the game but I’m surprised by it.

Fun podcast! You've got lots of good memories.
I think the Trine games look amazing. I can never get through them though but I'm going to keep trying.
So far so good.
Thanks for all your hard work. The site looks great!
It'll be interesting to see how MS responds to the Sony announcement, but I fear everything is inevitably going full digital this new generation. I'm going to be very tentative in my purchases going forward.
