Whether it's reviewing Steam's rejects on Dumpster Diving, ranking a series like Harvest Moon, or just playing games normally, one thing's for certain. We are definitely amateurs.

Hey hey! Lots of interest on the Sparking Zero video, thanks for that! Now I am curious, what do you think of the game?

Hey hey!

tl;dr For those who have been following the game, how do you feel about Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero?

A while ago I released a video on my thoughts on Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero. This was before we even had a title though, so of course a lot of what I said aged like fine milk. I am, of course, happy to see that the most recent trailer suggests that what if stories will indeed make a comeback! Now whether they are done as well as the original Budokai Tenkaichi/Sparking! games, we will have to see.

Overall, I would personally say I am looking forward to the release. Sure there have been some controversies (like the local multiplayer possibly being limited to one map), but overall I want to save my criticisms until I get the game in my hands. When I do, I will be making a video reflecting on how wrong (or right) I was and whether I think Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero is a worthy revival.

Hey hey!

Now all we need to do is upgrade our recording equipment, setup an area to start streaming, spend way too much money on games for Dumpster Diving... yikes.

Speaking of Dumpster Diving, we're curious. Obviously every single game is going to be considered "bad" in one way or another. But we want to run a poll for the next couple dumpster diving videos to see if the games we play are really *that* bad (and also to see if people actually read community posts).

So, dear viewer, do you think that Grand Ages: Medieval deserves to be on the Top 100 Worst Games on Steam list?

Here's the video for reference:

I recently saw the trailer for Marvel Rivals and I'm 50-50 on it. For those who don't know, the game is basically Marvel's version of Overwatch. The main difference is that in Marvel Rivals you play in the third-person, there's environmental destruction, and you can combine your abilities for even more damage (the examples I have seen so far are Hulk/Iron Man and Rocket/Groot). On the one hand, the game looks cool and the roster seems to be pretty big so far. On the other hand, I do have some doubts. Marvel Rivals is developed by NetEase, who has had a rather rough history with their microtransactions, the game feels really floaty to me, and the survey they make you take to sign up for the "Closed Alpha Test" is full of spelling mistakes.

That being said, I still want the game to be good. So, what do you think? Since I have seen *so* many people describe this game as Marvel's version of Overwatch, I want to make a prediction now. Do you think Marvel Rivals will be better or worse than Overwatch 2? Personally I think that Marvel Rivals won't be as good as the original Overwatch, however I think that Marvel Rivals will be way better than Overwatch 2. Maybe that's just optimism though.

Hey Hey!

Not gonna lie, the last couple of months have been rough. We've both been sick for about two months straight and between that and other medical emergencies it's been super fun. But the good news is we are back to working on videos now! Plus, if you eat your veggies and clean your room, then we MIGHT have a little surprise planned for you guys in the distant-but-not-too-distant future. Our next goal is 1,000 subscribers, hope to see you all there.

Which is better, Harvest Moon 64 or Back to Nature?

For some background, I previously did a poll on Friends of Mineral Town vs Back to Nature. I was surprised to see that the people that responded overwhelmingly preferred Back to Nature. I am curious to see if this holds true versus 64 as well. Stay tuned to see how this is all relevant in the next Harvest Moon ranking video!

Which is better, Harvest Moon Back to Nature or Friends of Mineral Town?

I've played a lot of harvest moon as a kid. And I mean a LOT. But somehow I barely heard much about Back to Nature. After giving it a shot to rank it, I was surprised to see how similar it was to Friends of Mineral Town. I did some reading and found that there was some debate on which was the better game back in the day. So I was curious which game has stood the test of time with the majority of our audience. As far as what I think about it, well you'll have to stay tune for the video to find out!

Hello world! Unfortunately our Phasmophobia video doesn't seem to be getting any love! We pretty much had it done until they released the update early, requiring us to redo several hours of work. Regardless, we were proud of the result and wanted to make sure people had the chance to see it in case YouTube didn't recommend it to the right people.

If I had a dollar for every time a significant update to a game came out when we were in the middle of making a video about it, I could use it to buy a taco from Taco Bell.
