To finish out 2022 I brought on ModzvilleUSA for his first ever guest appearance on a podcast! We spent almost three hours talking about the ModzvilleUSA origin story, and of course PLENTY of modding. Lots of Xbox 360 RGH talk, experiences with the original Xbox, the art of PS2 installs, Famicom Disk System games, and much more!

A laptop filled episode of Mario's Minute this month! The first one being a throwback to nearly ten years ago when Asus required me to get a diagnosis on my old laptop from Best Buy's Geek Squad, to which they blamed a WiFi board defect on... GoogleUpdate.exe? I also share some more adventures in the world of laptop upgrades, as I worked on a laptop upgrade and another laptop revival for my girlfriend. Some potential wedding crashers get reported on, as well as the routine sharing of a game store story and which games I've been playing recently.

Games, games, and games for this episode of Mario's Minute! Before I recorded this episode, I got annoyed with selling some games on eBay and figured... Why not bring it up on the podcast and air my annoyances about it here? I also finally got my Steam Deck and share my initial thoughts, feelings, and experiences with it all. A bunch of games were played on it recently, which I talked a bit about as I do every month. Finally I also share some stories from my days of working at a local video game shop.

Coming back for a solo episode of Mario's Minute after overcoming a dreaded illness, to delving back into the gaming deep-end by running through all of the Max Payne games for the first time in a decade! I also might have accidentally picked up a new sickness, that being an addiction to Game Boy mods and upgrades! I also share some scratchy game shop stories and share the rest of the games I've been playing.

The validity of some past Rockstar related leaks is discussed as well as multiplayer games we enjoyed, the definitively botched GTA Trilogy remasters, streaming pains, and much more!

A whole lot of gaming goodness this month! Starting off shouting out and talking about ConsoleMods.org which is shaping up to be one of the best written resources for console modding documentation. Sony has started a Game Preservation Team which I discuss my thoughts on, and immediately follow that up with Sega delisting classic Sonic games to make way for Sonic Origins. Microscope talk is a bit of a thing here this month, as well as a couple stories about crusty consoles.

Over the course of a couple hours we talk about everything from chicken wings and hot sauce to rants in the world of tech and video games. A lot of what we discuss here is related to gaming, but we also get to talking about sicknesses we picked up (not that one) and a good amount of pet talk. Tune in and enjoy!
