10 Years of In Third Person: Games That Made an Impact on My Life
Over the past decade, I’ve played hundreds of games. Some of them were really bad. Some of them were huge disappointments. Most of them were at least good or great. But there are few games that really made their mark on my mind and heart. In this penultimate installment of the 10-year anniversary series of posts, I put the spotlight on a few games that truly had an impact on me during my time running this site!
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!

Tetris 2, Tetris Attack, and Tetrisphere: A Look Back at a Trio of Tetris Spin-Offs
From its origins on PC, to Tetris 99 on the Nintendo Switch, there are countless versions of classic Tetris out there. Odds are, the Tetris Company will continue to iterate on the traditional Tetris formula until the end of time. However, there have been a number of offshoot puzzle games that don’t play like Tetris, but bear the name anyway. Let’s take a look back at a trio of these: Tetris 2, Tetris Attack, and Tetrisphere!
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!
