Happy 10th birthday, Metroid! I’m so happy to have you in my life. You have certainly helped shape me as a person.

I had to tear down my entire game room because of my mother. She also made me take down the CRT in my room. I am going to wait a while until this massive, days-long family fight has calmed down before I rebuild. It wouldn’t be Christmas without some massive, destructive, drawn-out family brawls.

🎄❄️🕹️ Happy Atari Day! I hope everyone is enjoying the holidays!

Merry Belated Christmas.

It's been a rough year.

I hope 2021 is better for us all.

THANK YOU, GRANDMA AND PAPA! For Christmas, they got me the brand new McCartney album! Haven’t listened to it yet, but I hope to soon!

I now own both McCartney 1 and 3. I just need 2 now!

Who wants to play ColecoVision Donkey Kong? Me!

See you then!

Two of Nintendo’s most-hated systems finally meet. Wii U and Virtual Boy unite! 

This game, Mario Clash, is great. It’s like a sequel to arcade Mario Brothera. The jump and throw buttons are reversed from what you’d expect, but you get used to it pretty fast. I still swapped the buttons on my controller, however, and turned the harsh red colors to a nice white. The graphics really pop on my CRT. Shame the VB wasn’t handled and designed a little better.

Hey @HDN, the record player is out.  I know you're a McCartney fan, and here's the one actual vinyl record of his that we have. 

My sister, grandparents, and I did some Christmas cookie decorating. Can you guess the characters?

Pretty pumped that Pac-Man publisher Bandai-Namco reposted my Pac-Tree on their IG and Twitter!  Totally made my day!

I recently discovered an EXCELLENT 2600 game, Fast Eddie. It reminds me a lot of Pick-Axe Pete! on Odyssey 2. And for anyone who is wondering, those are indeed caramels in the background.

Heh heh heh... I’m such a nerd.

I have a confession to make. I splurged a little bit today. I decided to get something to celebrate my job thing, and something caught my eye. Metroid Fusion.

I didn’t want to spend the $35 on it, but I decided that this was my money that I worked for and that I won’t make such impulse decisions in the future. I wasn’t sure when I would have seen this game again, and I know that I will get my money’s worth. I won’t be spending so much on a game in the future, and I will definitely make sure that I make up the money I spent and more before getting anything else.

If you recall, this was my answer to what I wanted most for Christmas back in @nosweargamer’s last giveaway.

You can’t call yourself a Game Boy fan unless you’ve mastered the art of lighting your screen in a dark room!

A pretty nice bundle of games arrived today.  "Revenge of the Gator Pinball" is one I've never heard of, and it's really fun.  The label is terrible, so I made my own for the back.  In addition to these, there were several duplicates that will go into the next junk box.
