She got so pissed off lmfao. I bent the door, scratched the car and the seats got all hosed up, and the guy helping me carry it got a hernia. Overall it was worth it lol

A couple years ago I found a 32 inch Trinitron on Craigslist and got my girlfriend to help me pick it up, we had an awful time getting it in the car and then getting it home and then the basement flooded and it got damaged before I could even use it. She was really mad lol

If you're playing Chrono Trigger on a CRT that's sitting on top of another CRT, you might be a retro gamer

The sequel is legitimately great. I'm probably at that "been so long since I've played it I've forgotten everything" stage where I'll go back and replay it soon. Just did the same thing with Yoku's Island last year and it was just as great as I remembered.

The actual story as it relates to the characters and everything that came before it is finished and then Steven just shows up out of nowhere as everyone is celebrating and says “good work nanashi. But if you want to put this game on your Games Beat list there’s one more thing you must do…” Lol. It owns

Ring King despite all the early censorship in NES games, this data east gem is a cozy slice of life story with lots of LBGTQA representation. you play as the secret, gay, jacked, red-headed mario brother. all of the characters are men and they all want to suck and gently caress each other. sometimes in the middle of a match, the opponents stop just give each other a life-recovering hug. in between rounds, you can mash the buttons to get a blowjob from some kind of Mini-Me clone of yourself and recover your health:   my principal complaint about this game is the pacing. the players have three stats and when you create your character (and give him a name, which is cool), you start with nine points, which is fewer points than even the rookies have in the game's career mode. you can choose from a 2 player match, a practice, a tournament, the ranking career mode (which has 3 different levels and 5 matches in each level). the game's movement isn't 1 for 1 - your player moves vaguely in the direction you press on on the D pad. missing enough times can eat as much health as getting hit, so it's important to be precise with your strikes instead of mashing buttons, which took me an embarrassingly long time to learn. you can either KO the opponent just by hitting them hard, reduce their health to zero and get an auto KO, or get the most hits in six rounds to win. that's all fine and it plays well once you get used to it. it's also a cool idea that you gain points to put into your 3 stats as you win matches (which you can "save" by using a password), but this is where the game falls apart for me. it takes 3 matches before you get any points, and you only get ONE. and even the weakest boxer in a non-practice match starts with more points than you. i tried to grit my teeth and start on ranked, but after winning two matches, i realized it was going to take forever, so i grabbed the password and went to the practice mode. practically speaking, that's unfortunately the best strategy - to grind. i felt like i had experienced all the game had to offer after one match with a guy who was stronger than me (going up against guys with your stats or less is kind of a joke), so the rest of this felt like a slog. plus, the best strategy once you get a little ahead on points is to put all of them into speed, get a few good hits on your opponent early, and then just avoid them for six rounds. also, i wanted to give my guy other funny meme names, so for awhile i thought the password system was busted, because it actually uses the name you enter as part of the password. lots of cool ideas dragged down by one aspect of the execution again. i think if they'd given you points every match, made it more like 3 per win, and started you a little higher, it would have been way cooler.

1. 1/07: Cruis’n Blast 2. 1/11: Halo Infinite Cruis’n Blast is so good, I got it for my son and wound up playing it a lot on my own to keep unlocking cars and helping him get the keys and stuff. Ton of content, runs great, lot of fun. I was pretty psyched to start Halo but it got pretty boring in the middle and pretty bad by the end. I’m glad the multi is fun (far from flawless) but man this is a disappointment. I’m gonna either start Deathloop or spend some more time relaxing in Forza Horizon 5

BTW https://ggapp.io/ is a cool site to keep track of your games. I like it more than backloggery since it's easy to make custom lists like "Games Beat" etc. I've been using it the past few years since it was unsure whether this site would fall into the grasp of satan himself but I continue to use it because I like it https://ggapp.io/synthy add me from here, i think

Whoever made the parts where Max is dreaming and you have to slowly, carefully walk along a one-inch wide trail of blood or plummet to your death, and jump between trails with weird moon-landing physics, and you can't tell where you're going and there's a 2-second clip of a baby crying playing on loop the whole time, is going to Hell for sure. He's not seeing Heaven.

3. AI: Somnium Files on gamepass. Fun and scratched that 999 series itch. A lot of the story beats/moments are kinda insane but I love that the goons in this game are lifted straight from MGS.
