We had a great time at Renton City Retro in Renton, WA. It’s probably the only retro game show in the entire northwest in 2021. Several from all over from Seattle to Portland and beyond came by to scoop up great deals and visit friends we haven’t seen for the past year and a half. I found a few cool things I show in this video.
Creating the sixth Queens of the Stone Age record would be anything but easy. Following 2007’s Era Vulgaris, mastermind Josh Homme would take a six year break from the band — producing the Arctic Monkeys’ third record (Humbug), playing in other bands like Eagles of Death Metal and Them Crooked Vultures, while also welcoming his second child. But in the fall of 2010, after developing an antibiotic-resistant staph infection, Homme was hospitalized for nearly two weeks. Then bedridden for a handful of months. Leaving the frontman to sink into a deep depression.
Professor Jay Gaming – Trying Undertale for the First Time! That’s right, I know nothing about the game, so keep it spoiler free in the comments please!

** DISCLAIMER – Nobody paid me to make this video, I didn’t receive a kickback or any compensation. I just wanted to highlight some of the mom & pop retro gaming stores in our area and hopefully give them some more exposure **
The Film Geek – I count down my personal favorite Jackie Chan Films.
Benobot99 – Some more Clone Hero content for you guys. Enjoy. 🙂 Song is Heroes of War by ChavezNieves. An old custom from 2010 or earlier.
Super Smash TV is a really fun twin stick style shooter, where you try and survive as long as possible. MJR Extras
Square Pegs – I had a lot of fun recounting my timeline a couple months ago where I told you about when I started to when I finished working in the game industry. Today, I wanted to carry that forward but do things a smidge differently, and rank every game I ever worked on.
In this video we are replacing the left stick on a Nintendo Switch Lite. The stick was damaged when something wet got into it, no thanks to the child that owns it. I hope this video gives everyone out there the confidence to perform this repair.
In 1987, Patrick Swayze won hearts and became the male heartthrob of the eighties in DIRTY DANCING. So what would be his follow-up? Becoming an action icon in the amazing cult-classic ROAD HOUSE. The legend of Crazy Swayze was born in what producer Joel Silver promised would be the greatest drive-in B-movie of all time, and he was right. Swayze plays Dalton, a “cooler” – basically meaning he’s the John Wick of bar bouncers – who’s hired to clean up a notorious bar called “The Double Deuce”, only to run afoul of the villainous Wesley (Ben Gazzara), who rules the town with an iron fist. Along the way, he falls in love with the town doctor (the gorgeous Kelly Lynch), with his erstwhile mentor (Sam Elliot) in tow. A good time is guaranteed for all in this latest installment of REEL ACTION!
