We recently announced on the PC-FX Fan Club podcast that we will be attending the Portland Retro Game Expo 2024. We’ll have a booth there with a playable PC-FX and even an English build of Team Innocent, courtesy of the Team Innocent translation team! We also created a pamphlet to reintroduce the PC-FX to the […]

Once in a blue moon I really like staring at pre-release footage for games and trying to see how they different from the final. While there’s nothing crazy here, I had a good time picking out every little background detail that changed from a pre-release video for Team Innocent and the final game. Check it […]

Finding reliable sales and shipment numbers for game hardware can be a challenge even for more popular consoles. So, maybe unsurprisingly, the PC-FX is maybe even tougher to parse what’s accurate and what’s not. I wanted to take the time to figure out where the system’s numbers come from and how credibly they are. Check […]

Over on the PC-FX Fan Club Ko-fi page I took a look at the First Kiss Story Image Song Album CD. These are unique songs separate from First Kiss Story game, but inspired by each dateable girl. Probably most of note is there’s a comment form Chief Kurono talking about his time working on the […]

Recently, I’ve heard a lot of talk in my personal life and through gaming commentary that there’s very little magic in games anymore. We’ve seen what games can be, and any further games in the future are simply iterations or will never have the impact of the classics. Games don’t feel special anymore. I can […]

It’s finally done and revealed! The HaKox video! Should it have been a secret? I dunno. I talk about the things I’m playing so much that I rarely get to put out a video without blabbing my thoughts on 30 billion places first. I thought it’d be fun to let people get a new video […]

I made it into Issue 3 of the indie video game magazine Aporia. It’s the first article I have had published in a decade. I also finally combined my love of Call of Duty 3 Wii’s Bombs, Senran Kagura Reflexion’s menus, and motion controls in one article. You read the article by grabbing the magazine […]

Videos sometimes come out of nowhere. At no point did I ever really plan on looking at Dog of Bay, but after getting asked by the translator, Cargodin, to do some play testing, I liked it even before the English subtitles had made it in the builds I was playing. Here’s the video if you […]

Before transitioning over to doing a Balan Wonderworld video, my original intention was to do a video on Yuji Naka’s Billy Hatcher. However, eventually it got put on the back burner so long that I don’t think it’s going to resurface anytime soon. I’d consider this script *mostly* complete. If you’d think this video would […]

Nintendo has a really fascinating history of pedometers, in both the quality of life space with Wii Fit, the more toy space with The Pocket Pikachu and in the game space with the Nintendo 3DS’ Play Coin feature. In 2016 I started writing a review for Personal Trainer Walking, and in the process I was […]
