My parents found this at their house, and dang it if I don’t wish I knew where the page for steps 1-3 went!

I probably wrote this down in 1998 or ‘99 when I was 9 or 10 years old and likely did it at school while looking at GameFAQs or at a friend’s house by summarizing a guide they had. No idea, but fun to find all these years later. 🗡️

Blessing (or perhaps cursing!) your Friday timeline with a mini-review of the PlayStation 5! Watch here: https://youtu.be/8QjKQrcfDp8

I've had a PS5 for exactly three years today, and it's time to reflect on the hardware, the experience the platform provides, and the value it offers in the gaming space it occupies.

To the great astonishment of all in the galaxy... A new video has landed! Watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vh25186hNt4

Is the Xbox Series X still worth it? I've had one for two years, and it's time to reflect on the hardware, the experience the platform provides, and think about what could be next in Xbox land.

Sure, it’s blocky and “old” by today’s standards. And perhaps Nintendo could have made some other tweaks. But I’m super grateful to have Mario 64 on Switch.

It’s amazing how special this game still feels to play, and its charm is calming to me, especially these days.

I grabbed a growler of ' Blackberry JAMMA last weekend and LORD A'MIGHTY, did it hit the spot!

All of their brews are excellent, and their arcade is my personal fave in the St. Louis area.

Check out Two Plumbers next time you're in St. Charles, MO!

Cross Chop makes weekly videos about the fourth, fifth, and sixth generations of video gaming, so you've found a solid channel for videos about—to name just a few—the Nintendo GameCube, Super NES, Sony PlayStation, Nintendo 64, and Sega Genesis.
