The purpose of my Spotify and various other social media pages is to spread interesting and fun-sounding game ideas. Hopefully to inspire game companies to listen in to their fans to see if there may be some potentially good game ideas to be used for video games.

Episodes

AGT: I Bought a version of RPGMaker 15.07.2021

So I figured if I am going to keep talking about my game ideas, why not try to work on some games myself?

AGT: Sonic Colors Ultimate not 60fps on Switch 13.07.2021

Just heard the news that Sonic Colors Ultimate would not be running at 60 frames per second on the Switch, so I decided to give my quick thoughts on that.

I figured it would be nice to give the people that follow my content a better idea of myself and how I operate.

AGT Live: Social Gaming Syndrome 09.07.2021

This is something that has been on my mind for a little while that I wanted to talk about when it comes to gaming in the community and the industry.

AGT: Xbox Series P 08.07.2021

I had actually been thinking about this concept off and on for a little while because of Microsoft having Game Pass and XCloud, plus with the recent outburst of people about the Nintendo Switch OLED, I figured now was a good time to bring this up.

AGT: Joy-Con Drift 08.07.2021

This is a subject that I honestly haven't really touched on much, but I figured I would give an explanation as to why it happens and how it can be mitigated.

AGT: Nintendo Switch OLED not Pro 07.07.2021

So Nintendo didn't do what people assumed in mass that they would do...even though there was never any evidence of it in the first place. And here is my viewpoint of said situation.

AGT: Nintendo Won't Make F-Zero Because of Mario Kart? 04.07.2021

I actually ran across this statement several times and I just started to wonder about the people saying it. Makes me wonder if they know the history of the company they're talking about.

What If: I was Hideki Kamiya? 03.07.2021

Having looked at how some of the fans of games that Kamiya's team has created act towards him...I briefly thought about how I would respond to things if I was in his shoes.

AGT: Influencers Scamming Supporters with Blockchain 01.07.2021

I've been hearing about this particular subject quite a bit recently and just wanted to give my thoughts on it.

AGT: Can YouTube Copyright Issues Be Fixed? 30.06.2021

I've been pondering this since a YouTuber I follow by the name of Saiyan Scholar got put through the wringer recently. So I propose a couple of changes that I think could actually help with this situation and the anxiety it causes.

Game Idea Foundry Talk: Episode 6: F-Zero Part 1 30.06.2021

AGT: "Ultra-Realistic" F-Zero was Squashed 29.06.2021

So from the Nintendolife article, we've learned that Vitei pitched an "Ultra-Realistic" F-Zero concept to Nintendo...and they said No. Here's what I have to say on it.

AGT: Amazon Gaming Needs 29.06.2021

Amazon is trying to really push themselves into gaming, and I thought that I could come up with a few things that would help with their attempts...that they likely won't listen to. But, I still felt like giving my opinion anyway.

AGT: Game Pass is Piracy? 29.06.2021

I've seen some questionable comments before, but what in the word would make someone think this?

AGT: People Love The Wii U Now? 26.06.2021

I'm starting to see this positivity trend for the Wii U show up now, after the Switch has sold ridiculously well and people are starting to really see the flaws in it. Here's what I have to say on that.

AGT: Nintendo Charges for Doki Doki Literature Club? 25.06.2021

With learning that the Visual Novel Doki Doki Literature Club is coming to the Nintendo Switch, people have been in an uproar about it costing money on the platform. So I give my take on it.

AGT: Why Is Gaming Important To Me? 24.06.2021

So I decided to do a discussion about why gaming matters to me as a person and why I can get so passionate and irritated with certain opinions.

AGT: Twitch Sexualization 21.06.2021

I'm just here giving my thoughts on the current Sexualization trend on Twitch.

AGT: Rant: Smash Fans Don't Know Kazuya Mishima? 20.06.2021

Warning: Profane Language. So, I have seen that many people just don't know who Kazuya Mishima is from the Tekken series as of his recent addition to Super Smash Brothers Ultimate. And I have some things to say about that.

Game Idea Foundry Talk: Episode 5: Jack Runs the Show 19.06.2021

Streamed originally on Youtube on Jun 12, 2021. On tonight's episode of #GIFTalk, I'm giving the reigns to my good buddy Action Jack and allowing him to present game ideas that he has had on his mind. So listen in and let's have a good discussion.

Game Idea Foundry Talk: Episode 4: Street Fighter VI 18.06.2021

Originally streamed on May 21, 2021 On tonight's episode of #GIFTalk, my guests and I will be talking about a "What If" idea I had for how I would make #StreetFighterVI should #Capcom ever be crazy enough to let me take the reigns.

AGT: Metroid Dread is An Indie Game? 18.06.2021

Warning: Profane Language. So people are now saying that Metroid Dread is an indie game? Well, here is what I have to say about that.

Game Idea Foundry Talk: Episode 3: The Legend of Zelda: Broken Bonds 17.06.2021

Originally streamed on Youtube on Mar 12, 2021. In this episode of #GIFTalk, we'll be going over a concept that I'd talked about for #TheLegendOfZelda a while back, in which Link and Ganondorf grow up together as friends, and eventually...they become enemies. This is something that I think would be pretty cool and interesting for the series and could give a deeper motivation to the character's act...

AGT: E3 2021 Overall 16.06.2021

I just wanted to quickly give my thoughts on how I felt about this year's E3 conference.
