You ever have an itch? Not like a normal itch, but an itch that no amount of scratching can take care of? I’ve used hands, back scratchers, door frames, but alas, nothing works. What do you all do in a situation like that?

Side note completely unrelated, you ever wonder how abrasive the metal screen grill on a microphone looks?

It's been a while since I've been in studio but back in November I had the opportunity, nay, the privilege to be a guest on The Radcast. It was great to get behind the mic again but it was even better visiting with my friends Matt and Steven Webster. If you are a fan of what I have done, check out this episode as we discussed the console wars in the 80's and 90's and had a blast doing it. It fell a little short on their most downloaded episodes of 2023 so do me a solid and check out the link OR search The Radkast (with a K) on any of your favorite podcasting platforms.

Does anyone else hate when they but a game and a few weeks later it becomes free on a service like PS Plus and or Game Pass for the XBox? I just found out the Doom series is coming to PS Plus. Damn you Sony. Damn you.

Such a cool commercial. Can't wait for the planned crossover event with From The Point: A Blues Hockey Podcast to discuss not only EA hockey games, but many others as well.

You know that feeling when you are supposed to be playing one game for research for an episode but a long awaited game gets a PS5 update and you find yourself playing and thinking about nothing but the new game?

I mean, the new game will be featured as well but damn it would be nice to finish one before starting another.

Good problem to have I guess.

If you have seen the post on Instagram you will will have seen that "Holy. S**t. Something’s happening…" If you have not seen that, what the hell?! I thought we were cool! Find me at on the IG's and I can tell you, it's going to be a hell of a ride.

That being said, I have 16 episodes planned and currently working on two or three at the moment. None of it means anything if YOU are not engaged. What games do you want me to play and talk about? If i like it enough, I'll nudge it closer to the top of the list. If I have already played it, maybe I have ideas for that too...

Lemme know!

Cheers!

Usually when there is smoke there is fire. If I'm being honest, it's getting real smokey in here...

I was jamning to my late 90's early 2000's music when Fever for the Flavor by Hot Action Cop comes on. I am immediately thrown back to 2002 and playing Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit II with Jacob and the boys up all night and walking over to 7-11 for some Fierce Melon Gatorade. What are some games or songs that do this for you all?

Me in October 2021: "New content coming sooner rather than later."
Me Now: What an as***le...
Also Me Now: **Typing up script and notes for new episode**

I very much do not want to work today. I just want to work on new YHPW content... **Spoiler Alert** It's coming sooner rather than later.

Holy crap it's been a hot minute but recording resumes this weekend. Have any questions or comments for me? Let me know and I will address them!

Writing, editing. Editing, writing. Such a long night but new content is coming soon. And yes, that's only just the tip...

Big changes are coming! I've been away for ages but I am about to come back in a big bad way. Stay tuned in the coming days! Until then, enjoy Pikachu jackhammering making it look like I'm working harder than I am. Or, at least click the link to see him working.

I posted a tweet this morning just throwing out my thoughts on how I was going to try and get out of my creative funk and it was liked by none other than the REAL Kevin Smith. Needless to say, I don't think I have been more motivated than ever.

You may have noticed that the user name and the page name has changed, that's because this is my hub for all of the podcasts that I will be working on... More to come soon.

What’s that? A brand new episode going over several games I’m super excited about from the recent announcement? No way! It can’t be! Oh it is and it’s available now on all your favorite outlets!

Hey everybody! I finally got my page up and running for the podcast! If you could, give me a like, a follow, or anything else that may be on your mind pertaining current or classic video games!
