I bought a voice changer mostly to sound like Auto-Tune when I thank people. Instead, it takes on a life of its own when I use it with Stardew Valley! Why does the wizard sound like T-Pain? And even though Haley has voiced her disinterest in me, I can’t stop leaving her voicemails through my Simp Phone (TM)!
The first Maximus Cup of 2020 brings with it a Ring Fit Adventure theme! Besides unlocking the theme, we score a few wins, get bodied by mewtwostruckback, I go off on another rant about turnips in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and we even do a Star Wars: X-Wing Miniatures show & tell!

The creators of Overwatch want their characters in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. For a fighting game franchise built around assembling the biggest and brightest stars in gaming, they’re a fantastic fit! Also, with Blizzard’s hero shooter out on the Nintendo Switch and a second season of DLC characters slated for Ultimate, the crossover isn’t entirely out of the realm of possibility.
That being said, Nintendo would be tasked with translating characters designed for a first-person shooter into a 2D platform fighter. I may not have a shred of Sakurai’s design talent, but I’m gonna try to make these characters work anyway! Not sure if this will be an ongoing series, but let’s start things off with Tracer, Doomfist, D. Va, and Ashe!
Remember Wario’s Woods? No? I don’t blame you. Released as the final officially-licensed NES game in 1994 (and released on the SNES later that year), this puzzle game felt like it got lost in the shuffle even at the time. Despite being a fan of Nintendo games and puzzle games, this one slipped through my fingers for reasons that elude me.
Not to say that it’s bad. Its core gameplay concept is actually rather interesting. Instead of taking direct control of the pieces as they fall down the well, you controlled a character inside the well who had to pick up, move, and drop the pieces in order to create sets and clear blocks. Haven’t really seen any games try that concept since.
Decades later, Treasure Stacker by indie studio PIXELAKES builds on the concept. Does this modern take prove that gaming shouldn’t have abandoned the idea when it did?
Is it too late to claim my farm in Stardew Valley? After sitting on this envelope for years, I finally claim Snorlax Farm for my own! Join me for my first few days of farming, making new friends (and enemies), rambling about the old days of the internet, getting heated over turnips in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and wrapping up with a Wii U games show & tell!
The latest hero in Overwatch is an interesting and tricky character to get a hold of. Nevertheless, we give it our best shot in this debut outing! We also discuss the new emotes that subscribers to my Twitch channel can now use, thoughts on the Guilty Gear -Strive- closed beta, and finding one’s niche as a streamer!

About a week-or-so after the global pandemic took a grip on the western world, my friend Melissa started a group chat with our circle of friends. Checking in to make sure everyone was okay, Matt replied that he and Brendan were safe at home, playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons. That one reply derailed everything.
We can’t even escape the global pandemic in Tetris 99? Apparently not based on the usernames on the Nintendo Switch! Don’t worry though, I took out at least one strain in the game! I also win a few rounds, learn some fun facts about human anatomy, do a quick tour of my Animal Crossing: New Horizons house, and indulge in a 90’s hip-hop show & tell!

I really enjoy Justin Bieber’s music but I have some serious issues with the writing on his latest album. Tune in for my poetic readings of his new songs! Oh yes, we also play Overwatch and discuss life in the post-pandemic world.
…and I might have attempted to play a 6ix9ine song on ukelele?!

“Just drop it off at the table.”
From an outsider’s perspective, it may have looked like I was engaging in illicit activity. Standing on my cousin Adrienne’s front porch, she cracked the window open just a little and gave me the instructions to drop off the Ziploc bag of Nintendo Switch games I brought for them to borrow. I put down the stash of games and picked up the container of soup she made for me as part of this trade. Backing away about 12 feet, she and her 3-year old son Kai opened the door and yelled, “Thank you!” I got back in the car and left.
