- This is a personal channel where I express myself about video games. I simply want to share my thoughts and feelings on the games I play. My views are completely subjective and in no way, shape or form are my videos meant to inform or please an audience. I'm simply making this channel so I can express myself on video games and talk about them to my heart's content.
- In regards to how frequently I plan on uploading content.
I'm a very busy guy, so I don't intend on releasing content regularly. If I can manage I will be putting up one video per week tho I'd like to do more than one video a week. I can't promise this won't change since again, I'm up to my neck in work. Sometimes I might go an entire month or more without new content, it all depends on how busy I am outside of gaming.
Recording myself talking about games is the easy part, recording gameplay footage isn't a problem either but putting it all together with proper editing takes a lot of time and effort.

Welp, I'm out of footage again, time to spend a few weeks or a month recording stuff again. In the meantime I might drop a video on gaming talk with random gameplay I've recorded on PC/will record from games I play or a re-review of Final Fight 3 for NES because I have footage of that with the keyboard famiclone. I did say I'd re-review the game for better production values of the review.
With that said, I'm already recording 2 big projects so we'll see how things go :) I'm in no hurry. Also Macedonian customs is holding around 10 packages of stuff like games/a console I need for recording indefinitely so there's that.
So reviews are off the table for the time being, if I do videos it will be video game talk type videos or perhaps a re-review of the one game I have footage of lol
Either way tons of stuff is coming in its own time.

I really love, no ADORE Earthion, but I won't be reviewing it until the official cart releases and I have it in my hands, so it'll be another years probably :) Just wanted to share some gorgeous pics since someone in the comments of the ZPF review mentioned it.

I want to re-review some of my old 2024 video reviews for a few bootleg games. In 2024 when I started uploading videos again I didn't plan on making it a visually high end thing, mainly because I didn't have the conditions to do so at the time but I did want to film the games on a CRT TV.
Also even tho I don't do anything different and I still use my Samsung A55 to record audio, it appears that at some point, due to an update or something my audio became drastically better/more clear and the slighest change in position doesn't change the audio as much.
Between my old video and audio not being as good and not doing the games justice. I want to re-review
- Final Fight 3
- Sonic C64
- Mario World NES
- Lion King II Mega Drive
And while visually not terrible, I'm CONSIDERING re-reviewing these two as well
- Aladdin NES
- Aladdin Mega Drive
but I think I'll leave those two be as they are.
I WILL do this I just don't know when.
I hope you understand I don't do this for views or clicks or clout, I want to cover those games properly with the same improved quality I cover games now.
As for Audio I should probably invest in a better mic but they're far too expensive and I THINK my phone sounds fine now?
So here's how I plan on doing this
Since I don't like, no I HATE schedules and consistency, I will be dropping those reviews randomly whenever, if they don't get views, they don't, but I need those games to be reviewed and documented respectfully by me is all.

Welp, I FINALLY ordered one and it had to be pink because of course the green and orange one were out of stock :)
I know I said I'd be reviewing a GBC game next in the comments in my latest video, but scratch that, I'm not reviewing anything for GB/GBC until this thing arrives and given Macedonian customs it might take over 3 months.
I was going to buy one as soon as dragon box shop got them, but sadly they only had expensive shipping to Macedonia and I couldn't afford having this shipped with FedEx or DHL express who charge insane broker fees on top of customs and such here. Today I noticed they finally offer regular shipping (18 euros which is normal) so I had to buy the only one left :)
Well pink it is then, I will combine it with beautiful backgrounds to match when filming

IT FINALLY SHIPPED!!!! I can't believe I'm going to own an original copy after all these years, I've only had bootlegs, god I am so excited. Delaying the NES video just to have it included in at least a few shots I don't care :D I'm so happy right now!
Guys I'd make individual game reviews, but I deleted all my game footage I had tbh because I just don't think most people watch those and I don't care to make long reivews and them ending up like the Visions of Mana one.
Here's what I've been plaing as of late
- Yooka Replaylee - I might review this as i still have footage but who knws when I'll finish it but god I adore this game
- F.I.S.T - finished it amazing but deleted all the footage I recorded, got bummed out and figured nobody woucl watch it, awesome game tho
- Bravely Default II - not recording this one, it's lovely, kinda mid but lovely
- Asura the Striker - 100% reviewing this one :D I am head over heels in love
- Yar's Rising - MIGHT reivew this but it's going to be a while who knows when i'l finish it. I LOVE IT
- Silent Hill F - I was going to review this, took too long, I low key dropped it meh mid game
- Lies of P - One of my absolute favorite souls like games bar none but I have to finish the DLC and then the game's ending yet, so i dunno when this will be done or if I have footage still, pure art this one

Well guys, I can't tell you when my NES video is coming as unlike C64 and Atari 2600 games NES games take much longer to play and I don't want to just post footage of the very first few levels of games. There are many many games from many different genres and while I am having a blast just playing NES in winter as I normally do and recording it al :) I can't say for sure when my next video is coming, because I want it all filmed well, from different angles and everything.
Regardless of when the NES video drops recording it is a blast

Today I finally started filming my "big" NES Video, it's going to take some time to film but this is the vibes you can expect, it will have both daytime and nighttime shots like the C64 one.
This time I'm going to talk all about the NES/Famicom/Famiclones and system's unique vibe, atmosphere, how it made me feel and what made it so amazing.

I don't know if my subs are getting notified of new uploads, but to all Atari 260 fans who subbed from the Atari video before, guys my Review for the 2600+ Pac Man Edition is out now, so hopefully if you want, you can check it out. If you end up enjoying the video leave comments and likes on the video itself to keep it alive for a while longer as the algorithm isn't sharing it well for now.
It's a highly detailed deep dive video, not some generic unboxing like others did for the system.
Here's all I cover in the review:
- My opinion of the Atari 2600+ Pac-Man Edition in general
- Hooked it up to a CRT TV to see how it feels
- Tested it with Paddle Controllers with Tac-Scan and Solar Storm
- I discuss which Multi Carts works, which do not and why, most multi carts even menu based ones fortunately work
- I discuss or rather criticize the lack of an SD Card slot
- Since I have a huge library of Atari 2600 titles, I test the system with all kinds of games, some popular some very obscure like Postman, X'Mission and so on
- I discuss the Joysticks and D-Pad style controllers, their pros and cons and what each one is best for

They don't sell stand alone capture cards here and I don't want to always be tied to a PC when playing my games, so sadly I can't capture footage of all I play. Just want to say that today I finished Lunar 2 with the True Ending and it's another 10/10 game for me, both Lunar 1 SSC and 2 are pure perfection. If I had gameplay footage I would have reviewed both as one :) such incredible, simple, beautiful games. I played Lunar 1 on PS1 originally and finished it, but every copy of 2 sold in my country at the time would freeze up at the same spot so this was my first time playing it fully. I decided to replay Lunar 1 as well since it's been over 20 years and both were just too good. What an amazing summer this was.

The Atari 2600 video got me over 100 subs, I did not see that coming.
So I'd like to make a bit of an announcement to everyone who is new here and let you all know how things are going from here on out.
This is a general gaming channel and not just a retro gaming channel. So, folks, while I am working on my next big video for retro games, specifically VFD games that video as I said before is going to take a long time to film, especially because I haven't received my TEMU turntables yet :) So to those of you who joined for retro gaming content, more retro gaming content is coming but in the meantime, since I play both retro and modern games equally I will be releasing one or two videos on Clair Obscur an incredible RPG I recently finished.
Just letting everyone know that the nature of my channel is like that, a mix of old and new so don't get discouraged, retro content is coming :)
Here are a few screenshots to tie you over.
