I designed this

I've designed creatures for a bunch of games, and yet somehow, this chunky boi throwing up on Rare's Everwild is still my biggest claim to fame

Wonderful.

People kept mentioning how Future Redeemed feels like a collectathon compared to the rest of the series, so here you go. Scrimblo Bimbloblade.

The Nintendo DS has a lot of underrated gems! I'm lucky to have a few rare ones in my collection. What rare games do you own?

I started playing Magician's Quest: Mysterious Times on my handy phone emulator yesterday. It's the only one of four games in a series that got an English translation, and sure, it's an Animal Crossing clone of sorts, but it's got so much more to it. You're a new student at a magic school, and you can talk with your classmates, cast incantations, play songs... I haven't figured out how to do half of those, but the sky turned a wonky color and it's playing "Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy" and apparently some magical mystery is happening that I need to solve. (I'll figure it out eventually.)

What really saddens me is that there's a connectivity option where you can invite your friends over to explore your town... and since it's now one of the rarest physical DS cartridges of all time, that part of the experience is lost. It must've been really fun back in the day, but now this whimsical world only exists (reliably) on a ROM. There's no giant community around it, it's just this charming obscure title- waiting for people to play it that may never be able to.

Here's me and Sylvia the cat on a beach as it snows:

TIL: There is an official PC port of Digimon World that was only released in South Korea.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work well with modern PCs; the fmvs and audio are of lower quality, and you'll have to change the computer's unicode to Korean to play it.

This is a somewhat new discovery. So we don't know if it has any major differences compared to the original PS1 game or what's lurking in the files. I hope someone will take the time to provide some fan patches or maybe decompile it.

A few years back, I was surprised to learn that the Futurama game I bought as a kid is now considered one of the rarest PlayStation 2 games out there.

I understand why it's rare though. It's basically a full episode of the show that doubles as a game. I believe they even included this game's cutscenes in one of the Futurama DVDs.

Y’know how Game Over Gruntilda is a thing? Why doesn’t her sister, Brentilda, get the same treatment damn it! So I went ahead and did it.

Right now, I'm aiming to finally finish Banjo-Kazooie over on my YouTube channel. You're more than welcome to stop by and say hello.
