Happy 31st birthday to Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island! I made this 12-hour video of Hookbill the Koopa coughing in only two hours: www.youtube.com/watch?v=88xg... (As of now, no one has played the entire video, not even combined, since the cumulative watch time is only 3.6 hours.)

Okay, VGMaps fans. Can you identify this video game map? It's a remake, and it's on the DS. vgmaps.com/Atlas/DS/ The original version on VGMaps.com is over 451 megapixels, with a width of over 29,000 pixels!
Apparently today is International Owl Awareness Day!
There's a "Design Your Own Robot Master" opportunity in the highest tier for the "Bot In The Family" (book of Mega Man comics by Matthew Taranto of "Brawl In The Family") Kickstarter campaign! I know there are many artists/fans of Mega Man who'd love a chance to be in an official Capcom publication!
Nintendo Force Magazine@nfpublishing.bsky.social · yesterdaywww.kickstarter.com/projects/nfp... Going live at the top of the hour! Join us at 1:00 p.m. Eastern/10:00 a.m. Pacific and be one of the first to preorder your copy of our all-new book, Mega Man: Bot in the Family!
Here's a random map from the Super NES page of VGMaps.com: The Video Game Atlas. vgmaps.com/Atlas/SuperN... Do you know what this map is?
I know that people always have trouble spelling "Spider-Man", but after Brand New Day, I've been seeing it A LOT more recently, missing the hyphen. Like when people don't see that "Game Boy" is two words. If you like movies and video games, you're not blind, so... read?
Back in the '90s I was such a Nintendo fanboy, that my brother and I didn't own a PlayStation. But we did rent and borrow one a few times, mostly to play Square's RPGs. As such, I missed out on others' RPGs. Are the Suikoden games any good? Maps by mechaskrom: vgmaps.com/Atlas/PSX/in...
The overworlds of the first six games of the classic Ultima series have all been recently mapped - specifically on the NEC PC-98 - thanks to gymzatan! vgmaps.com/Atlas/PC-98/... Do you have a favourite Ultima game? For me, it's surely Ultima VI: The False Prophet!
I think my word replacement is clever: every line thought out carefully, unlike most "We Didn't Start The Fire" parodies that are random and don't match most of the original lines. Yet this side-by-side video that makes this clear has LESS THAN 300 VIEWS. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KL-m... WTF!

Remember when I made this 12-hour video of Hookbill the Koopa coughing? www.youtube.com/watch?v=88xg... It took two hours to make, but only has 3.3 cumulative watch hours. Does this video hurt my channel's chances with the algorithm because it has a low view time percentage?

How is it August already? Next month I'll have been a "serious" YouTuber for ten years - and I'm STILL not monetized. That's because the algorithm never pushes my stuff. Tell me, why does this NES music video get so few views? Be honest, I can take it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xZK...

I'm down to my last four pills and I'm still coughing a little bit. Will they really eliminate the bronchitis bugs?
BLINGO'S BACK! (That's a Maximilian Dood reference.) Fricking Rick nicks the victory. I don't know why I didn't pick up Kirby: Air Riders (Switch 2) right at launch. This game is amazing.
Who doesn't love Spider-Man? Brand new month, gotta pick August 2026's #MapsOfTheMonth honour @ VGMaps.com: The Video Game Atlas! It goes to George s's Spider-Man: The Videogame (Arcade) maps! Have you ever saved New York, and the world, from Kingpin and Doctor Doom? vgmaps.com/Atlas/Arcade...
I heard someone was tearing the place apart searching for some V-Max?
One of the largest maps in the Super NES section of VGMaps.com: The Video Game Atlas is Rick Bruns's map of Zebes in Super Metroid: vgmaps.com/Atlas/SuperN... Thanks to Rick for sharing it! It's also on his own website, snesmaps.com: snesmaps.com#S
It's the 37th birthday of the North American releases of the Game Boy & Tetris! "Tetris", a 2023 movie on Apple TV, tells the "true" story of getting the rights to Tetris for the Game Boy, with international intrigue. It's a bit embellished here and there, but still fascinating and worth your time.
Happy 37th birthday to the Game Boy & Tetris (in North America)! How I play two-player Game Boy Tetris on the big screen: two copies of Tetris, two Super Game Boy 2s, a Game Link cable, two Super NESes, two converters to HDMI, and an HDMI multiviewer. (And these are two separate photos, BTW.)
I saw Spider-Man: Brand New Day tonight! Not much to say, just go see it!
Instead of saying that something with no substance or value is a "nothing burger", I propose ReBoot's "Bucket O Nothing".
I avoid going to the doctor. I always think I'll be fine the next day. But I've been saying that for long enough... Now that I've been coughing for over a literal month, I'm going to the doctor this afternoon and hopefully get prescribed something (coloured pills or otherwise).
"The Legend Of Kyrandia - Book One: Fables & Fiends" by Westwood Studios was mapped by @terraesperz.bsky.social: vgmaps.com/Atlas/PC/ind... Other than Sierra's "Quest" games, VGMaps.com: The Video Game Atlas is lacking in maps for gorgeous 1990s point-and-click adventure games. Can you help?
Can any retrogaming account with over 100k followers repost this? My "We Didn't Start The Fire" parody with NES games has far fewer views than the effort put in it says it deserves, don't you think? www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xZK...

HI, I'M DAISY (CRUISER)! Thanks to @peardian.bsky.social, VGMaps.com: The Video Game Atlas now has maps of all the tracks from Mario Kart: Double Dash!! (GameCube), as seen here, just freshly uploaded!: vgmaps.com/Atlas/GCN/in...
VGMaps.com: The Video Game Atlas has lots of maps of RPGs, a genre where maps are quite handy! I love when mappers take the time to mark item locations, and include shop prices and enemy stats, like a proper guide, such as @peardian.bsky.social's Super Mario RPG maps: vgmaps.com/Atlas/SuperN...
Yesterday, I shared Peardian's map of the Water Temple in The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time (N64), and today, here's @vgcartography.bsky.social's map of it in the 3DS remake. vgmaps.com/Atlas/3DS/in... Are you ready to experience the Water Temple yet again in the upcoming Switch 2 remake?
VGMaps.com: The Video Game Atlas has lots of NES/SNES/GBA maps, true. But we have more than just maps of 2D games. One of the most popular map sets is @peardian.bsky.social's maps of The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time, especially the Water Temple map: vgmaps.com/Atlas/N64/in...
Do you know that I'm on YouTube? On my "JonLeung1" YouTube channel, you'll find video game book reivews, expo vlogs, and geeky stuff like this "We Didn't Start The Fire" NES parody: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xZK...
