PAX West Hightlights – New GAMES I’m excited for! (Nintendo, Atari, Indies)

Video Leave a comment

Highlights from PAX West in Seattle. Lots of new games from Nintendo, Atari, Capcom, etc… plus indie games and more. –> WATCH >> https://youtu.be/Sz5eN4JTZwI

PAX West in Seattle is like Comic-Con’s geeky cousin who’s into video games, Dungeons & Dragons, and has way too many Funko Pops but somehow still manages to be cooler than you. As you step into the expo, you’re greeted by a sea of flannel shirts, obscure gaming references, and more LED lights than your average spaceship. It’s the only place where arguing about the best Final Fantasy game can last for hours and somehow, both sides are still wrong. And don’t get me started on the cosplay—there’s everything from a near-perfect Master Chief to a Pikachu that looks like it’s seen some things.

Navigating the expo hall is like leveling up in a video game—each booth is a mini-boss encounter, from indie developers pitching their latest pixel-art platformers to massive companies showing off shiny new tech. If you’re lucky, you’ll leave with enough swag to build a small nerd shrine, though the real loot is the random stickers, pins, and tote bags you’ll find months later in your backpack. By the end, you’re emotionally exhausted, a little poorer, but filled with enough gaming news, demos, and nerdy conversation to last you until the next PAX (or at least until you finish your current Steam backlog…in 2035).

I was WRONG about the PlayStation Portal…

Video Leave a comment

The PlayStation Portal is like a gaming Swiss Army knife that forgot its blades at home but still insists on being the life of the party. Imagine taking a PlayStation 5, shrinking it down to tablet size, and then realizing, “Oh wait, this thing can’t run games on its own.” It’s essentially the gaming world’s equivalent of a long-distance relationship—you’re technically together, but you need a strong Wi-Fi connection, or things get frustrating fast. The Portal is perfect if you’ve ever wanted to game on your couch without hogging the TV, but still need your PS5 to do all the heavy lifting. The PlayStation Portal is a lovable paradox: advanced yet oddly limited, freeing yet tethered, and definitely a conversation starter.

VIDEO GAME HUNTING in Eastern Washington + PICKUPS

Video Leave a comment

LET’S GO!!! We take a 3 day road trip across the mountains into Eastern Washington revving up the engine and hitting the open road! We’re going to see some beautiful scenery, do some video game hunting, and at the end of the video I’ll share everything I picked up!

Eastern Washington is like the rebellious cousin of Western Washington—where rain is a myth, and sunshine is a lifestyle. It’s the part of the state where Seattleites go to get a tan and a sunburn in the same day. Picture this: rolling hills that look like someone took a crimping iron to the landscape, endless fields of wheat that make you want to run through them in slow motion, and a sky so big, it seems like it has aspirations of its own. And then there’s the Columbia River, winding its way through like a giant, scenic snake, probably plotting world domination in its spare time.

But let’s not forget the cities and towns, each with its own quirky charm. Spokane is the big shot around here, with a bustling downtown that tries its best to feel metropolitan but always has a little bit of that small-town charm. Pullman and its college town vibes make you feel young just by driving through, while Walla Walla is known for its wine—so much so that you might start speaking in grape metaphors after a visit. And then there’s the wildlife, like tumbleweeds that seem to have an actual agenda, and jackrabbits that appear out of nowhere, probably sent by some secret council of rabbits to monitor human activity. So, if you’re looking for a place where you can experience all four seasons in a single day and where “dry” is more than just a weather forecast, Eastern Washington is your kind of place.

All new Nintendo Game Boy Advance (GBA) Buying Guide! Radical Reggie & I cover the different revisions of the handheld, clone systems, accessories and recommended games!

Ah, the Nintendo Game Boy Advance (GBA)—a handheld marvel that hit the gaming scene in 2001. This sleek, portable powerhouse was a breath of fresh air for gamers, boasting a landscape layout and vibrant 32-bit color display that left its monochromatic predecessors in the dust. The GBA’s ergonomic design fit snugly in your hands, making marathon gaming sessions a breeze. With a library packed full of iconic titles like “Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire,” “The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap,” and “Advance Wars,” the GBA quickly became a beloved staple for gamers of all ages. Whether you were a fan of platformers, RPGs, or strategy games, this little device had something to tickle your fancy.

But it wasn’t just about the games—oh no! The GBA’s backward compatibility with Game Boy and Game Boy Color cartridges meant you could carry your entire portable gaming history in your pocket. The system also introduced some nifty accessories, like the Game Boy Advance Link Cable for multiplayer fun and the e-Reader for scanning special cards to unlock new content. And let’s not forget the GBA SP, a glorious upgrade with a clamshell design and a built-in backlight, making it even easier to get lost in your favorite adventures. All in all, the Game Boy Advance wasn’t just a handheld console; it was a key that unlocked countless hours of joy and nostalgia, cementing its place in gaming history.

Sony PS1 Buying Guide + Great Games & Hidden Gems!

Video Leave a comment

Radical Reggie is back w/ a brand new Sony PlayStation (PS1) BUYING GUIDE: Main Consoles, HDMI video solutions, Accessories + Best Games & HIDDEN GEMS!
Reggie’s Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@The_RadicalOne

The original Sony PlayStation, launched in 1994, was like a magical box of pixie dust and rainbows for gamers around the world. Imagine a sleek, gray spaceship that landed straight from Planet Awesome, equipped with a controller that looked like it could double as a boomerang in a pinch. This legendary console was the life of the party, introducing us to CD-based gaming, which was like trading in your tricycle for a rocket-powered skateboard. It had more bits than you could shake a stick at—32 of them, to be exact—and boy, did those bits make a difference! The PlayStation brought characters like Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon into our living rooms, turning us all into couch-bound adventurers and heroes in our own right.

And let’s not forget the PlayStation’s greatest trick: the memory card. This little piece of wizardry was about the size of a pack of gum but could hold onto your precious game saves like a digital dragon guarding its hoard. You could swap them with friends, ensuring that your gaming legacy lived on in multiple households. The PlayStation also had the audacity to introduce us to the magical world of FMV (full-motion video), making us believe that our TVs were secret portals to another dimension. In short, the original Sony PlayStation was the gaming equivalent of discovering that your boring old lunchbox was actually a transformer with a built-in laser show.

Video Leave a comment

Here’s a “best of” marathon of 6 PS4 gaming videos. We talk about 33 PlayStation 4 Hidden Gems plus 14 Arcade Shoot ‘em Ups and I share some rare developer PS4 game controllers at the end. Tons of great PS4 content here, so check it out! WATCH >> https://youtu.be/qcMCbDIqdws

Why does the PS4 rock? Glad you asked! Released in 2013 by Sony, the PS4 is like that cool, well-dressed guy at a party who knows just how to entertain you and make you feel at home. With a sleek design, powerful hardware, and a library of games that could make a hermit say “social life who?” the PS4 has been a hit among gamers worldwide.*

Key Features:

1. Graphics So Realistic They Could Make Your Grandma Mistake Them for a Soap Opera:
The PS4’s graphics are top-notch, making characters look so real you half expect them to walk out of the screen and ask you for directions.

2. The Controller:
The DualShock 4 controller is ergonomic, responsive, and has a nifty little light on the back. It’s like the Swiss Army knife of game controllers, minus the ability to open a can of beans.

3. Remote Play:
Ever wanted to play PS4 games on the toilet? Well, with Remote Play, your dreams have come true. You can now be a hero in your living room and a villain in the bathroom, seamlessly.

4. Games Galore:
From “God of War” to “Uncharted,” the PS4’s game library is like an all-you-can-eat buffet of digital awesomeness. There’s something for everyone, whether you’re into action, adventure, or just want to play a game where you pretend to be a goat (yes, that’s a real thing).

5. Online Play:
Join a game of “Call of Duty” online and get mercilessly schooled by a 12-year-old who uses words your parents don’t approve of. PS Plus is your ticket to this humbling experience.

6. VR Compatibility:
The PS4’s virtual reality setup lets you strap on a headset and escape reality. Because who needs to deal with real-life problems when you can fend off zombie hordes in VR?

7. Media Center:
It’s not just a gaming console; it’s also a Netflix machine, a YouTube browser, and a place to pretend you’re going to use the fitness apps but never actually do.

The PS4 is like that trusty dog that’s always there for you after a long day, offering you endless entertainment, companionship, and the occasional frustration when things don’t load fast enough. It’s the ultimate gadget for those who believe that reality is overrated and virtual worlds are where the real fun begins.
