So many people slept on Planet of Lana. Don’t make the same mistake with Planet of Lana 2!!

It’s a crazy week of releases, but Thunderful doesn’t miss with this one. And it’s on Game Pass 🙌

Today i got to ride the train to work so it’s a good day.

Oooooo looking forward to it!

Screenshot of a Pokemon team in LeafGreen. Pokemon are Jolteon (Dundabowl), Blastoise (Blue), Nidoqueen (Big), Snorlax (Biped), and Dugtrio (Molemound).

About to battle Erika in LeafGreen and this is the squad. Team theme is “Big Blue Bipeds.” Jolteon subbed in for the game corner will be subbed out for Poliwrath to complete the team. Dugtrio for Cut.

Glover is on sale and i just might get it @joshleslie.bsky.social i feel like this is fate after seeing your post.

Thank you 🙏

A little late posting here, but here’s the link to the review! Thank you again for the review key. open.spotify.com/episode/7LQY...

Cameron and I were able to review Planet of Lana 2 early and I’m gonna straight up say it…

Planet of Lana 2 has the best Star Wars feeling to it. The music, the locations, the audio design… they’re all incredible.

Episode dropping later today 👀

Starting Ico after a quick IndieWorld recap! twitch.tv/chipdip18

This game rules and I highly recommend picking it up if you haven’t yet!

Got everything set up to stream Ico today! Hopefully nothing going wrong... oh no did I just jinx this...

Unironically when Cameron and I from @preorderbonus.bsky.social learned about this game we were stoked out of our minds. Horse game good.

PlayStation could just optimize the game for PS5 and charge $20 for it and print money.

Today’s music:
- Texas is the Reason
- Intervals
- Japanese Breakfast

Stream schedule this week! It's all PS2 or PS2-like games for the final week of the Scoop Olympics! I'm excited to play Ico and figure out what the big deal is there, continue Tidus' and Yuna's journey, and work towards 100% in Promise Mascot Agency! Hope to catch you this week.

It’s one of the reasons why I’m enjoying it too. I love being able to feel like i got a lot done in like 15 minutes per play session.

Oooo this it at the top of my backlog!!

So, I'll send a $50 PSN Gift Card to 2nd place!

I agree with you yet still enjoy the games. I don’t think i could yell you why. It is probably the franchise for me where nostalgia is the most powerful.
