I so feverishly saved this image to my gaming apparel folder that I forgot to post it too. Bullet Bill hat at Universal Studios Japan. It is perfection.

Are you freakin' kidding me! Every action figure I own would get a day in the Koopa Clown Car if I had one

How do they do it? How does Japan always pick the best combination of English words for things?

Alpha. King. Yeti.

It's just so dumb sounding that it's perfect. Nevermind omg 4 patties and 4 slices of bacon and 4 slices of gouda, and mayo and double cheese sauce + pickles

Still thinking about Wart and looked across the room, forgot I put this up months ago. Clearly I have foretold his return

@smashmatt202.bsky.social hello fellow Wart Support staffer!

'Meta Acquires Moltbook, a Social Network Built for AI Agents' proving that they love bots on their platforms more than humans

Literally the only thing to make me feel genuine, ear to ear grinning glee this year was seeing Big Boss Wart on that Mario Galaxy Movie poster. YEAR OF THE WART!

I liked it so much, it's the only F1 game I've ever played!

Not gonna say I wasn't tempted. It's quite good!

I just got the sales sheet from Apple on this one and the wording is hilarious. We're not saying poors, we're saying "everyday knowledge workers in price-sensitive segments"

I quite enjoyed it. Playing stealthy, hacking things to freak out guards and send them running, the weird and creepy video/audio feeds you could hack into. I even enjoyed the smartglass mode where you could send cops and hack things to mess with rival players

Oh shit that's perfect. I was just thinking blurry Diner Dash with fog

Just popped up on my feed this morning. I keep imagining what the game would be like

Total classic! One of the last great arcade style racers with loads of shortcuts, secrets and thrills

Dang, did not remember that part

How's the prices on replacements these days? I didn't get to look yet although I could probably just plug it in if I ever need to use it

Bummer, my PSP battery got swol after all these years

Skin Deep, first game I requested a return for on Steam for non-technical reasons.

The cute 'MEOW' effect was not strong enough to overcome my distaste for how it plays, sad to say

Just sayin', if we took all of Trump's money and distributed it evenly to all Americans, we could each have a free meal at the sit down restaurant chain of our choice

I am so mad, I thought they were introducing single player 😉

Niiiice! I forgot they had that outfit in MGS4 too. I just remembered dressing up as Altair and diving off rooftops in Peace Walker. Here's hoping Capcom comes through for their part

It was! Here's hoping the licensing holds up

What are the odds the Assassin's Creed and Monster Hunter stuff survives though?

A Capcom Arcade Stadium style package but of Hudson and Konami titles (not just arcade entries) would be 👌

3DO all day for me. The library is bigger, weirder and for a very brief time it was dazzling looking

Might be my first new purchase of 2026 at this rate. And really hoping Peace Walker still gets multiplayer support too, I could not wrangle anyone into joining me on arcane emulator setups

A bunch of new game reveals happened. Now waiting on the inevitable discoveries, admissions, and retractions regarding AI use and abuse #videogames2026

And thanks to @frankcifaldi.bsky.social and @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social for making that possible. That episode is here: gamehistory.org/episode-149-...

Thank you @jparish.bsky.social for coalescing this gem of a point regarding Nintendo and their role in history on the latest VGHF show:

"Nintendo did not invent video games. The Famicom did not spring fully formed from Shigeru Miyamoto's forehead and all of a sudden there were video games in Japan"
