I beat the Mario RPG remake while cat sitting this past week. Lots of nostalgia for this one, and the updated graphics and sound were a fun way to reexperience it. 🕹️

I’ve beaten higher in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (around 10% complete). I forgot to mention that the ROM I’m playing is the Japanese version, which means I have to look up what items do by their icon. On the plus side, it does help me ignore the story. 🕹️

Getting my ass whipped at Magic: The Gathering at friendly local draft. The game has changed a lot in twenty years (who’d have thought?). Lots of fun still.

Don’t Get Pantsed!, my comedic, yet surprisingly human, interactive fiction is back online. It’s short, you can play it in the browser, and I’m still proud of it. 🕹️

I spent several hours at Cidercade in Houston yesterday. Lots of fun playing The Simpsons, Time Crisis 2, and Mario Kart DX, among others.

🕹️ Last night, I beat Death in Castlevania: Rondo of Blood. So difficult, even with Maria, the easier character! After that, I beat the Shaft boss gauntlet. Now, on to the final level and Dracula. It is hard.

🕹️ 🍸 My swear-y attempt at playing Castlevania: Rondo of Blood while drinking a Bloody Mary.

As I’m reading 50 Years of Text Games, I’m naturally getting back into IF. Man it’s good. Just played 9:05, a ten minute game, and had a blast.

Video game testers approve the first union at Microsoft. I’ve long been out of the video game industry, but from my brief experience a union was sorely needed. Congratulations to the team! More like this.

Been playing donkey Kong country tropical freeze and am so proud I’ve beaten to the second world.

I’ve been playing Shadowrun: Returns. Instead of ‘Hell yeah’, they say, ‘Whiz yeah’, as if in the future, hell is replaced by peeing.
