I got through a lot of GBA/PS2 stuff this week and retro on Xbox Series S. I got some good purchases on sales this week too. Also progress through the Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue show, books and podcasts. 

Atari 50 got its most recent update today, which concerns Atari’s heavily intertwined history with Namco (the latter company’s video game division was originally Atari Japan, but Bushnell apparently got into trouble for trying to do business in Japan for not following Japanese regulations and ended up having to sell).

Earlier this year, my brother and his stepson made a ‘Let’s Play’ YouTube channel and their first video was playing Party Animals.  Now they have a second video up where they play Fall Guys!  So I thought I’d share it with you here. 

I downloaded every 2000s era game I owned digitally on Xbox and started going through them. I added a bunch to my wish list as well in case a sale comes up. 

I've been going through my games like they were parts of a mini-game collection like NES Remix. I play to determine if I'm going to keep them or not. Or, I set some high bar of difficulty that gets me killed fairly quickly. It's also a test to see if I get sucked into a game for longer. Here's half of the stuff I sampled (I'll write up the rest tomorrow). 

Games Beaten

In the fall you get a lot of food with pumpkin flavors.  I liked pumpkin flavored stuff before it was popular.  But most of it now is just pumpkin spice.  I really prefer just the plain old pumpkin flavor because pumpkin spice just tastes like nutmeg and cinnamon.  Anyway, here are some pumpkin flavored reviews for you all.  Please read as many as you can, and maybe post a ‘like’ or comment or two.  I’d appreciate it.  OK let’s begin!

So in revisiting this 2000-2009 this month, I thought I'd go down page one of the list of Metacritic's best of for GBA in this time range and make some comments for the games I have something to say about. 

Happy Halloween. Today I took a look at an umderappreciated entry in the Castlevania series. I also tried to pattern this show after Count Gregore, who hosted TV horror movies in Oklahoma that I used to watch with my dad.
