- Questionable translation (original script??) aside, I had a blast playing Illusion of Gaia retranslated! Such a crazy game, constantly being whisked away to new locations and twists at every turn! I love it! youtu.be/7FbA8lts778?...

- Last day of work complete!! 😮💨 Feel like I managed to escape a sinking ship, let’s hope the next place is better! Been feeling so miserable I haven’t even wanted to make a video in ages… I hope that changes soon. Got a week off in between so hoping to be able to clear my head and start a fresh!
- A friend of mine made an awesome website where people around the world share some words of wisdom! I added mine (and took that advice recently! I start a new job next Wednesday!) 😁 www.taiomi.com/onethingever...
- Quote with a game you like but everyone else hates. Most people say it pales in comparison to the original, but I absolutely loved it when it came out. Amazing visuals, music and atmosphere. I didn’t even mind that they changed from arcade gameplay to missions. It’s such a cool surreal experience.
- Been slowly working on a bunch of big videos, here’s a sneak peak!
- I’m really curious why this was so hard to do, and why, after five years, there was still so much left? It’s not an especially complex game to remake…
- New video! Ranking The Virtual Boy Library youtu.be/tGhUhlBZ_Xs
- My original ROG died so I bought the new Ally Xbox version, and forgot how painful the setup process is… Windows is SO glitchy! Every single step had some kind of issue, and 4 hours of various updates for windows / graphics / asus etc… all done, then I turn it on and it tried advertising its self 😂
- Had a dream I was game shopping and found Mega Man for Game Gear complete in box, went to buy it and decided to open it first, but instead of the game, it was just a Big Mac… Then the shop keeper accused me of wasting their time!
- Found some reviews on the back end of itch and it’s made me want to start a new project! It’s such a huge undertaking but it’s so cool to see people enjoy what you made in the end! If anyone doesn’t know, I released this game last year: retrobreak.itch.io/super-donuts
- Power cut! :O good job I charged the vita! Really enjoying Ys Celceta!
- Metroid Prime 4, 100% complete!! 🔥 Sometimes it didn’t really feel like a Metroid game, but still awesome and worth the wait!
- Found a new game shop today! Didn’t have much interesting though.. see anything you like?

- Anyone remember Java games? Always loved looking at these adverts and imagining what the games would be like!
- Happy new year everyone! What is the first game you’ll be playing in 2026?
- Really enjoying Metroid Prime 4! Just got to the last main dungeon area, I can feel some of the development hell in the design, but overall, it’s so amazing to play a new Metroid Prime game and it’s everything I hoped it would be! The trailers really didn’t do it justice.
- Working on a Vocaloid games retrospective! Picked up these Switch games today, got 5 more games to get (2 physical, 3 digital only), then I’m ready to record! Already written most of the script and research! There’s so much I’ve learned that I’m excited to share! 🥬🎤🎧🌐🩵🎙️ #Vocaloid #HatsuneMiku
