How Super Mario Maker 2 Won Me Over

JettLeave a comment

I liked Super Mario Maker a lot. I’m not one who enjoys making stuff in games, but I did have a great time during the brief stretch where I was into it. However, it fell out of my rotation pretty quickly when my interest in making levels waned and it felt like all of the user-created levels I encountered were awful. Because of this, Super Mario Maker 2 was not on my radar at all.

Then the Super Mario Maker 2 Direct happened. What I saw knocked my socks off! While I expected Nintendo to make improvements over the original, the sheer volume of improvements on display were staggering.

Tetris 99’s 3rd Maximus Cup Gives You The Opportunity to Earn a Game Boy Skin!

Jett2 Comments

Whoa!

Between now and May 19th, 11:59pm PT, you can unlock a Game Boy skin in Tetris 99! All you have to do is partake in the game’s online battle mode and earn 100 event points. It might take a bit of elbow grease, but 100 points is a pretty low bar to reach. Such a cool nod to the old days! Go get that skin before it’s too late!

First Impressions of the PlayStation Classic

Jett3 Comments

Classic? Hardly. Panned by critics and gamers for falling well short of their expectations, the PlayStation Classic has failed to find an audience. Even after the price drops and promotions, these mini consoles continue to collect dust on store shelves.

But is the PlayStation Classic truly worth dodging at all costs? Once I saw the console on sale at 75% off its original retail price, I decided to buy one. Figured at that price, it’s at least a functional mini console with a few all-time greats, such as Final Fantasy VII and Metal Gear Solid. With greatly-reduced expectations and purchased at a price that won’t break the bank, I skim what it has to offer to see if the unit has any merit.

Tetris 99 – Season 1 Big Block DLC Review

Jett2 Comments

Tetris 99 has been one of 2019’s biggest surprises. Putting a battle royale spin on a timeless classic has grown to become Nintendo Switch Online’s killer app. Even with only one mode during the first few months of the game’s existence, I’ve poured dozens of hours into the game and had no plans of stopping.

But for players looking to shake things up, the Big Block DLC is available for purchase. For $9.99 USD, you get access to two new offline modes. Are these new additions enough to pry you away from the online multiplayer action?

Overwatch With the Family

Video JettLeave a comment

Due to technical difficulties, the stream fell apart towards the end, forcing me to split this into two. However, it was a lot of fun playing Overwatch with Randy while discussing a number of topics, including the new Overwatch workshop, the new Ted Bundy movie starring Zac Efron, the Sonic the Hedgehog movie, PlayStation Classic, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, LGBT+ support in schools, and more!

I appreciate everyone who supports my work, especially those that go above and beyond! Going to try out a shout-outs section to thank those special people! If it feels right, I’ll continue to thank those who supported me during the stream with something like this!
