I'd like to formally introduce MIDI Week Archives, a weekly YouTube video where we revisit MIDI Week Singles from our original site, where the series began 12 years ago.

I know it's petty, but the amount of joy I get from watching LEGO YouTubers get annoyed/angry/frustrated from opening duplicate blind boxes of minifigs is probably a bit unhealthy.
Using this as a moment to teach my kid about emotional regulation at the same time.
This looks awesome, but more importantly, it looks fun.
And with any hope, will rile up the fascists.
Have not used the chat function once in nearly eight months we've had the system. Also don't feel inclined to get a camera either to use game chat. So the C button remains unused.
Over the last week, there's been talk about Sony ceasing to release games on PC/Steam, but little talk as to why their games are not selling as well as they'd like. We're here to make assumptions!

Legend of Zelda RPG: Legends of the Triforce
Sometimes a game comes out that challenges expectations and conventions. Egg is not that game. I played 1% of the game for 33 minutes and then I wrote about it.

Our MIDI Week Single today is from everyone's favorite stage in the 1989 NES Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Sorry not sorry. Music by Jun Funahashi & Hidenori Maezawa

Our Game EXP article yesterday was for Pigeon's Mission, a fun retro-styled platformer, started out strong, but turned unreasonably difficult partway through.

I tried a week ago and was told that ticket prices for when I wanted to fly were between $800-1400 more expensive than what's usually charged for this particular flight. And all the flight times/layovers sucked, unless I wanted to fly out at 5:15 AM.
Our MIDI Week Single today comes from playing Mario Kart World with the Squire this past week, specifically Versus races w/ only the Kamek item while driving on Rainbow Road.

I cannot think of a funnier or more appropriate summary of the state of the news industry in 2026 than βthe Onion has more subscribers than the Washington Postβ
please help make it happen
Alright, friends! Share those women-led games in Next Fest here, please!!

This is what happens when you buy a game for fewer than 100 pennies & the opening song captures the essence of the game. Music by the late Kirill Pokrovsky.

Hey folks! How about supporting Jack and Talha in creating something weird and horrible? Go on, it'll be brilliant.

This graphic exists solely to convince you to pick up an e-book copy of DUNGEONS & DRAGONS RAVENLOFT: HEIR OF STRAHD wherever you enjoy buying books. It is ensorceling you. Your eyes are going unfocused. You think you see a sailboat. No, it's a schooner. Now it's a horse. You are very relaxed. You click BUY.
SALE! Only $1.99! Please pick up a copy wherever you buy e-books. You don't need any D&D playing or reading experience to enjoy this story. It can act as an open door to the world of D&D and Ravenloft, but seasoned players will feel right at home, too. Also there is a hairless flying cat. π¦
Hooollly crappie. The conflicting feelings of wanting to play this and not feel completely terrified are all very strong.
I'm thrilled to announce that we launched the Steam page of Clown House: Lunacy! Don't forget to wishlist and follow.

Mm hmm. . . .and?
Trump and his Administration want to make an example out of me so they can scare Americans like you and keep you from speaking out against him.
The most patriotic thing any of us can do right now is to keep speaking up.
We have a bit of out of left field choice with today's MIDI Week Single, both in terms of game and that it was cut from the game. So enjoy this track from Chicken Little.

I had to look up the solutions to a couple of puzzles, I know I didn't unlock all the endings, and I found out I'm absolutely terrible at Animal Shogi.
Loved the execution and integrations of the limits of a VR headset.
I'm currently looking at my wishlist, and Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 has been there for 12 years and is currently $7.99, but I'll wait because I know I won't play it immediately and it might get even lower during a future sale.
