I'm a baseball sicko. I love double headers, I love 15+ inning games, I love games that go past midnight, and I love baseball played in a snowstorm. All that is to say I'm very excited to see if my Guards will play tonight's game against Tampa Bay in a freezing, windy downpour.

These reviews of Super Mario All Stars from the September '93 issue of GameFan bother me, on so many levels. 8-bit Mario hasn't stood the test of time? Saying Mario needs replaced with a more 90's character? Calling them golden moldies in 1993‽ This reads like a modern clickbait troll job.

I just finished Well Dweller, and that was one of my favorite games in years. I normally don't 100% a game - I see credits, I'm done. This time, though, I just needed more after beating it and had to collect and do everything in the game. 10/10, no notes.

Guards took game one in Tampa! 😁

Five years ago today, I got the keys to my current apartment. 👍

Finally got around to trying the Chick-fil-a chicken and waffle sandwich, and it was pretty darned tasty. I'm a big fan of chicken and waffles in general, and this hit the spot. 😁

Finally watched the most recent episode of @giantbomb.com's Blight Club, and the faces of @grubb.wtf @tolkoto.com @danryckert.com watching the Making of Cyberdillo were great - and also 100% warranted. 😂

The support struts of a large bridge near me were demolished this morning with a controlled explosion, which wouldn't have been a big deal if I had any idea it was happening. Instead, I was just eating breakfast when the explosion suddenly rattles the whole room. 😧

Here's the nine anime that kicked me down the path of anime fandom. A lot of them were from that Toonami after school anime block, but some - like Ranma - were my earliest experiences with subbed anime.

I love a good club sandwich for lunch. 😁 #food

I'm still working to get Party Ball Arcade up and running, but I'm also editing a video of a complete play through I did back in the day to go with it. However, the video quality is crap. I'd really like to avoid re-recording it all - the game is really hard, and this was a great run. #indiedev

Cheeseburger 🤤

Continuing my 3D modeling/rendering practice, I've produced another sword. Also, I've included a compilation shot of all the swords I've made so far, from oldest (on the left) to newest (on the right). #3drender #blender

Still working on my 3D art skills, this time with a simple gemstone design.

After a lot of blood, sweat, and tears, I finally helped push out a long overdue update to AAGH Games' well-received Chicken Boom 2. It's the first since update the game's had since September 2023, and it fixes a wide range of performance and stability issues. aaghgames.com/2026/02/16/c...

With Tail of the Sun coming to Steam and the Nintendo Switch (at least in Japan), I wanted to share a personal anecdote. No joke - this panel from the 1998 EGM Buyer's Guide 100% sold me on the game. I read that and immediately thought, "I have to try this." I ended up loving it. 😁

I'm going to be co-hosting AAGH Games' Extra Life stream today, starting around 10 AM EST on Twitch. www.twitch.tv/aaghgames

I was going through the games I've beaten over the years, and decided to rank them from my favorite to least favorite. Not objectively, or best to worst, just my personal feelings on the game.

AAGH Games recently announced our next title, an Android game based on one of our old Ludum Dare entries called Grab Your Nutz. You can preregister to be among the first to get it on Google Play! aaghgames.com/grab-your-nu...

My team's Ludum Dare entry is done and posted finally - it was a great weekend and we're looking forward to rating and reviewing other players' games! aagh-games.itch.io/zombodys-bus... #gamdev

From an early build of my team's Ludum Dare entry - is this bad? 😅 #gamedev

I'm co-hosting AAGH Games' Ludum Dare 58 game jam stream on Twitch right now! www.twitch.tv/aaghgames

A game I helped make is currently 10% off for Steam's Autumn Sale! Agtnan is an arena-based FPS about surviving waves of monsters, and was one of the first PC games I worked on. store.steampowered.com/app/1044820/...

The Guardians were 12 1/2 games behind the Tigers 29 days ago. They’re now tied for first place. How many teams have ever been that far out that late in a season and finished first? That would be zero.

I'll be co-hosting AAGH Games' Ludum Dare streams again this year, starting October 3rd! It's been almost a year since I've actually done any live streaming, so wish me luck that I'm not completely out of practice. 😅

I'm rooting for the Guardians the finish the job over the next few days and pass Detroit in the division, while fully expecting them to fall apart at the finish line like the Bluesmobile.

Playing a new Minecraft map, I spawned within walking distance of a savanna village nestled up against this impressive crater with island spires at its center.

If you fell down that first hole in Hollow Knight Silksong that took you back to the beginning, you have to repost this. That’s the rule.

I was playing with an AI thingamabob and getting frustrated that they didn't seem to remember what they were burbling about 5 minutes ago, but then I realized that I have to really think to remember what I had for lunch today.

I was trying to remember what the first anime I watched was, and thought it was probably Project A-ko or Galaxy Express 999, but in reality it the very first was probably an anime I didn't know was anime - Fushigi na Koala Blinky, aka Noozles.

I've been working on a project for AAGH Games for the past year or so, and 90% of that has simply been getting the Android build to compile so we can actually finish the damn thing. The game itself has been in good shape since last year, but getting that to build to not fail has been Hell.

I finally got around to filling my Coke glass with pop, and figured what the hey - go all the way with the Coca Cola theme. #blender #3drender #cocacola

Here's another selection of random 3D models I've worked on over the past few months, including a Coke glass, a 3D block from Super Mario Bros., and another sword. #blender #3drender #artist

Fuck collective shout.

A keyboard that makes it look like I forgot my glasses? Hard pass 😅 higround.co/products/hig...

I've created more 3D sword models recently. It's become something that I do when I need to clear my head from other projects. #blender #3Dart

I love hamburgers, and the Max the Knife from Rockne's in Cuyahoga Falls is one of my favorites. 😍🤤

@tolkoto.com told the best/saddest story today on Blight Club 😂 @giantbomb.bsky.social @danryckert.com www.twitch.tv/giantbomb/cl...

Today I realized that half a minute is shorter than thirty seconds. 🤯

Joining the fray with my top ten games of the 21st century so far. www.giantbomb.com/hey/the-10-b...

My life's mission is to expose as many people as possible to the absurd glory that is The Calamari Wrestler, a 2004 movie that's one part Rocky, one part Power Rangers, and all hilarious, because it's all played completely straight. The twist at the end was so good, too.
