I don't remember why I made this years ago but I had all the actual GBA Video files I converted for this, so they are now safely preserved at @garrettgilchrist.bsky.social's Archive page archive.org/details/game...
Game Boy Advance version now, courtesy of @garrettgilchrist.bsky.social who is expanding the GBA Video library considerably here: archive.org/details/game...
Can't believe @garrettgilchrist.bsky.social actually ported this game to the Game Boy Color
I keep running into console-themed wristwatches on auction sites and I've never worn a wristwatch in my life but these are still hard to resist. Resisting the Game Gear one is easier since it's $250+ USD, though.
Stared at these Street Fighter II figures for way too long trying to figure out what the hell they're supposed to be doing (cannonballing into a pool in terror? praying to Mecca?) before realizing they're Christmas ornaments buyee.jp/mercari/item...
Immediately thought of this. I'm sorry, Sonic. bsky.app/profile/sore...
My time would be even better if I hadn't failed to recognize which Mario characters comes from an egg. Logic dictated that it would be the turtle, but it turned out to be the green horse. Ridiculous.
Disturbing, but also kind of heartening, to see that the guy who's been posting about Stephen King being John Lennon's killer since at least 2001 (much longer on paper) updated his website this week and STILL hates the coward Paul McCartney. Support independent journalism!
Seeing the strangely prescient track names on the last John Lennon album always gives me a chill...
🚨🚨Deal alert! 🚨🚨 The empty box for a "Top Gun" N64 Famiclone/lightgun for 1000 yen (so far)! www.fromjapan.co.jp/japan/en/auc...
I've ran into a few more of these "Panorama Screen" Game & Watches, which used mirror trickery to display color sprites on a handheld in 1983-1984 (nicole.express/2023/gaming-...). A technical marvel. Also, they got Snoopy in there. Too bad the cheapest one is $200+.
I deeply regret beating Wario's Woods on SNES because look how devastated Wario looks. I went from wow to WAW (Worried About Wario)

Just learned that the box for the "Super Joy" version calls it "Power Player"... and uses artwork from The Phantom Menace?? cc: @pirategamething.com
Randomly found the next step in the evolution for the N64 plug and play console that comes with a gun: an N64 plug and play console that IS a gun ("Z" button works as the trigger) buyee.jp/mercari/item... This is what all consoles will look like in the year 2000.
Some random screenshots from these works of art (livestream archive with timestamps here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xdn3...)
Bowie was such a comics dork that he wanted to turn Watchmen into an opera (according to Darren Aronofsky: www.suicidegirls.com/girls/anders...). I firmly believe this would have been the one good Watchmen adaptation.

Seeing Mel Brooks trending made me think of this old idea Twitter never used but @bsky.app really should
Spotted an early Game Boy Advance TV out mod from 2001 called "TV de Advance." I'm told this works "by using a new back half with a connector that intercepts the screen ribbon cable" and it "isn't too good." Why not just use a GameCube GB Player? Because this thing came out two years before the GBP.

BONUS: the box art for another Super Famicom floppy copier from the same seller, because I love the mascot. Real heroes pirate SNES games to floppy disks. 👍https://buyee.jp/mercari/item/m85230189182
Found something better than the Super Famicom copier with a CD drive: a CD drive with a Super Famicom. As in, there's a full SNES built into this extremely illegal device from the '90s and you can play your CDs full of roms directly in it. More: videogamedevelopmentdevices.fandom.com/wiki/Game_St...
