Continuing our Christmas adventure is a popular game, but one that took me some time to appreciate. I started off liking it and ended up loving it, and if you play it I think you'll enjoy your stay on Yoshis Island as well.

This episode was quickly recorded before I left for the holidays, but I wanted to give you guys something to listen to this week, and thought Gremlins 2 was a great choice for a game that reminded me of the holidays as well as being a fun game to play today as well as back in my childhood.

Going to my college years, I loved my time getting into PC gaming. I had never played a game quite like Diablo until the people I went to class with were excited for the release of Diablo 2.

If you know me, you know Mega Man is a franchise that is near and dear to me. It started on the NES, but the SNES locked it in with what ended up becoming my favorite branch in the series of Mega Man games, the X series.
