Editor’s Note: That’s a busy week in gaming.
What Are We Playing This Week?
I like to plan out what games I will play in my free time. With over 700 games in my collection if I don’t do this I will end up playing the same games over and over again. So this week I’ll be firing up games across 3 different systems!
NES: Skate or Die
Genesis: Toy Story
PS3: Tony Hawk’s Project 8
What are you playing this week? I’d love to hear!
It Came From The Gram!
This week and going forward I’ll be embedding other people’s posts that I think the readers would like!
Twitch News Coming Soon 👀
Something is in the works from me to make a return to streaming! I’ve missed interacting with people and talking retro video games so I’m test running a show to get back in the groove. I’m excited to work towards building up a show on Twitch and can’t wait to hit the ground running on this! I’m doing two test episodes this week to work out the kinks, so be on the lookout for an announcement in the next week or two. I have some fun ideas for Twitch and this is only the beginning.
