‘Tis the season for Turkey, winter wonderlands, and quality time with the family. Also, gifts. Heck yes!
Here are a couple of games on my Christmas wish list this year. What are you hoping to find underneath your Christmas tree this time around?

Nintendo eShop Black Friday 2019 Pick-Ups (So Far)
Black Friday may have come and gone, but the deals are still available on the Nintendo eShop until December 4th at 11:59pm PST. With over 800 Nintendo Switch games on sale, I couldn’t resist picking up a few games for myself. Here’s what I got!
Pokemon Sword and Shield – Rock Gym and a Tour of the Roman Baths!
Before we take on Gordie’s Rock Gym, I’m overcome with emotion as a landmark that I visited in England earlier this year makes a surprise appearance in Pokemon Sword and Shield! I take a moment to show some pictures from the Roman Baths, which is what the in-game landmark is based on. We also talk about Black Friday deals, Google Stadia, and a quick show-and-tell featuring Nintendo games made for non-Nintendo consoles!

Tetris 99 Live Stream – Invictus Matches, COPPA, Aliens, and Pokemon
Our weekly tradition of Tetris 99 continues! I try my best to win in Invictus mode while also discussing a bevy of topics. How scary is COPPA on YouTube? Do aliens exist? Where can I get deep fried turkey? And a surprise appearance from my favourite Pokemon when we close out the show with a few Pokemon Sword and Shield raids!

Jackbox Party Pack 6 Review
Are you tired of the Jackbox Party Pack series yet?
Ever since the franchise ushered in the modern era of party games, we’ve received a new entry on a yearly basis. I don’t play these games enough to tire of them, but I would expect that fatigue must have set in for some. Maybe Jackbox Party Pack 6 is the version where the series jumps the shark?

Tetris 99 Live Stream – Pokemon Sword and Shield Launch Weekend
I take a break from my Pokemon Sword and Shield binge to play more Tetris 99!

Pokemon Sword and Shield Live Stream – Grass Gym, the Wild Area, and Route 5
Crikey! In Pokemon Sword and Shield, is Milo – the leader of the Grass gym – an Australian? Whether he is or isn’t, I gave him my best Aussie accent, which is horrible. My apologies. Afterwards, I struggle through the Wild Area, fail to figure out how to raid with friends, and stop Team Yell from executing their really stupid plan!

The Intro to Luigi’s Mansion 3 Showcases the Super Mario Universe in a New Light
[NOTE: I try my best to avoid spoilers]
Confession: I’m not very far in Luigi’s Mansion 3. Was hoping to be done before the launch, but life has a funny way of stifling one’s gaming time. For now, it takes a seat at the top of my backlog as Pokemon Sword and Shield take precedence. From the bit I’ve played, I can definitively tell you this one thing: its opening sequence is really special.
Early Notes Regarding Pokemon Sword and Shield
Pokemon Sword and Shield is Nintendo’s flagship release for 2019. A ton of hype followed this title up to its release, but also a lot of controversy due to the ways in which this game veers from precedents set by past games. We’ll get to that later in this post.
As of writing, my character “Jettt” is standing on the steps of the first gym. With a full review not coming anytime soon, I thought I’d share a few early notes about my experiences thus far.
