I never finished Spider-Man Noir with Nicolas Cage, but after seeing Brand New Day, I had to go back, and I’m so glad I did. What a joy, especially in black and white. I studied film in college and have always loved the style of classic noir. Great show, beautifully done.
Coach K College Basketball on the Genesis takes me right back to the ’90s.
Back in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, I’d say, “Hey Mom, I’m heading to my friend’s house,” and she’d just say, “Be home before dark.” That was it. No texts. No calls. No checking in. Somehow, everyone just trusted that you’d make it home. It was an entirely different world.
My visit to Japan in 2024! 🇯🇵 One of my biggest bucket list moments was finally getting to visit the iconic Nintendo HQ. Even if it was only from the outside, it was still an incredible experience for a lifelong Nintendo fan. I also have a full travel vlog on YT: youtube.com/playlist?lis...
I love the Dreamcast! What’s one of your go-to Dreamcast games?
What were your first impressions of the original Rumble Pak?
Brütal Legend was truly one of a kind. Heavy metal, humor, and Jack Black. 🤘
One of my all-time favorite arcade cabinets! This was from the old Buttonmash arcade that sadly closed a few years back. Who’s your main?

One of my favorite little details on the original SNES: the eject button.
It’s my birthday! Level 45! Fun fact: I was born on July 17, 1981, right between Donkey Kong’s arcade debut in Japan (July 9, 1981) and its U.S. release (July 31, 1981). Maybe I was destined to love video games. (Photo of me as a kid in the early 90s)
I’m so glad Amoeba Music is still around. It reminds me so much of Tower Records and those days of going to the music store to buy physical albums and movies. At least I can still come here and get that same feeling. Thanks for keeping that experience alive, Amoeba Hollywood.
Do you remember the first time you experienced the original Crazy Taxi?
The Sega Time Traveler arcade machine was incredibly rare to see in the wild. Growing up in North Jersey, I was lucky enough to have one at Sports World, and seeing one again recently at Barcade in Highland Park, CA brought back memories. Did anyone else ever get to play one?
As a kid, I dreamed of making the Video Power Prize Round and racing through that Velcro mall grabbing games. Who else wanted a shot?
