Got a neat little mail call today. Found this Castlevania light switch cover on Etsy. How sick is that?! Installed it on the Castlevania wall.

Mega Haul today at the local trade show. There's a shop I visit every so often that does crazy deals on stuff. Everything 50% off, trades $5. After trading in some comics and two small toys I got all this for $120. Only one of the NECA Castlevania I'm missing is open mouth Drac.
Just saw Spider Man Brand New Day. I was seriously worried about all the stuff they were throwing at us but it was excellent. Go see it.
NEW VIDEO! The newly unveiled footage from Anthony Parisi's E3 tapes (courtesy of the @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social ) has brought some new Castlevania footage to light. Let's revisit history together in this video! youtu.be/Jk2s8UeJ2ro?... 🦇🧛🏰

Facts. We didn't know what to call it in the early 90s, it was just cartoons. I watched Sailor Moon at like 6 am it wasn't on prime time. Samurai Pizza Cats had a pretty cultish fan base even then. I was the weirdo who liked watching Anime dubs on sci fi channel. It was very niche back then!
Zero Utopia@zeroutopia.bsky.social · 2w agoGenuinely impossible to make people understand how much most the United States in the 90s hated and looked down on anime if they didn't live through it.

"God, the millennial humor in MOTU's movie is so cringe." ....so the movie based on the 40+ year old property has jokes in it that cater to its biggest fan base? Gee yeah, why the fuck would they do that?

I've been getting back to playing through DKC Returns HD on Switch. Now that they added Dixie to the game it's 1000000 times better.
Modern consoles fucking suck for color. At least when it comes to non aftermarket.

This was SUCH a great read, and there's actually some info in some of this preserved E3 stuff that's Castlevania related! I am hoping to get a video out on it but I was hoping VGHF would give their blessing. Is it considered fair use to use some of this footage for discussion?

This looks great and honestly, getting actual 3D NEW Homebrews on the Dreamcast instead of 2D shmups is exactly what the console's homebrew scene needs!

Been playing through Mega Man 10 again recently and I gotta say, every time I play through it I like it more and more. Honestly, I think it's one of the more underrated classic Mega Man games.
People, PLEASE do your research. North America is, at this time, receiving NO physical pre-order bonus for Castlevania: Belmont's Curse. The Midnight Edition does NOT come with a steel book or tarot cards. It even explicitly states on the site it's EMEA which is NOT NA! SUCKS!
PICKUPS/MAIL CALL! Found the Samus/VI-O-LA Amiibo on heavy discount at Target while shopping for a replacement coffee pot. I had a $20 gift card so it was basically free. Also found the Diana Amiibo for retail price, albeit loose, on a random semi-local mom and pop shop website!
Coming next week. 4 months actively in the making...something like 2 YEARS in planning. This will be a fun throwback to old school DYHPTG?! episodes.
100% completely agree. If these games are made, they are made by indies or AA devs.

With Sony killing discs and Xbox in crisis mode, it was finally time to upgrade to the lesser of three evils when it comes to physical games. I've always been a Nintendo fan, and this is my 8th Nintendo console. Switch 2 ACQUIRED!
