Part 2 of our Olympic Peninsula road trip is where things get a little louder, a little weirder, and a lot more fun.
I meet back up with Paul and we waste absolutely zero time doing questionable (but highly entertaining) things on the beach. From there, we hit the road toward a place that changed music forever, the birthplace of Kurt Cobain, Nirvana, and the entire Seattle grunge movement.
Along the way, we dig into some seriously cool retro game shops, hunting for hidden gems and soaking in that nostalgic magic.
And to wrap it all up, I’ll show you everything we scored during this epic 5-day adventure.
Hit the road with me for a five-day adventure through Washington’s Olympic Peninsula. In this travel diary, I’m joined by my friend Drunken Master Paul as we explore a part of the state I’ve never experienced before. Expect rain-soaked highways, coastal fog, and small towns that feel like they’re full of untold stories. Along the way, we hunt for retro games in hidden gem shops, explore abandoned coastal forts, and take in some incredible Pacific Northwest scenery. Buckle up and let’s hit the road.
Metal Jesus & Drunken Master Paul are at Portland Retro Gaming Expo w/ $100 each to buy 3 great games PLUS collectables. Who do YOU think had the better pickups at Portland Retro Gaming Expo?

Part 2 of my epic Oregon ROAD TRIP! We’re visiting Crater Lake National Park for amazing views, doing some “Glamping” in Umpqua forest and exploring Bend for video games, beer and the last Blockbuster!
I’m currently on an Oregon state road trip, so this week’s video is a “best of” marathon of classic Gamer Eats episodes w/ Drunken Master Paul! Here is the entire 11 episode run in order of our favorites. Bon Appetite!
Paul Stetler who played Curtis Craig from Phantasmagoria: A Puzzle of Flesh from Sierra On-Line now has a YouTube channel and in this video he’s reviewing my good buddy Drunken Master Paul. Lots of good stories about being on the set of making the game, how he originally got his job at Sierra and much more!
DrunkenMasterPaul – Mrs DMP and I take a stroll through the neighborhood packin’ booze and talking about… life? covid? Open toed shoes on public transport? No. Trees. A lot of trees.
DMP is uncut and unashamed in this one take video on how to make a brine for delicious meat making. Why? Well he can’t get around to editing the crap he already shot so why not shoot a bunch of one takes and just upload them? Plus, Christy wanted to know how to do it.
Gerald Martin – DrunkenMasterPaul visited PuckBrandedGaming and I a few weeks ago and we took him to the Roanoke, VA Pinball Museum and StarCade. He had a blast and since it was the first time for all three of us, we had even more fun than we expected thanks to the awesome people there and all the machines available for play!
