@orbalology Haters gonna hate. Enjoy the console! (I mean that’s why we game right? 😅

[Tam @Tamazoid]

@AvengerMags Your MC kinda looks like Alear from FE:Engage and now I can’t unsee it 😅

[Tam @Tamazoid]

Or rather, an episode that exists as @Eggerino wanted to grill me about Pokemon at the Natural History Museum.

[Blowing Cartridges @Blowcartpod]

Tune in to hear our respective thoughts on the Pokemon x Natural History Museum experience and the Game Worlds exhibition that recently had a run at Melbourne’s ACMI

I don't usually do this, but in the spirit of reaching a goal, if y'all could RT this, it would mean the world!

I want to hit 5,000 followers by the end of 2025, and I'm so close!

I have lots of fun JRPG coverage to come next year and want to share it with even more people! 🤩

[Tam @Tamazoid]

@morethansenpai @benmcj Excellent! And as an aside, I’ll be on your case once again Brendan in 2026 to finally get you onto @Blowcartpod!

[Blowing Cartridges @Blowcartpod]

Our 6th annual (we can’t quite believe it ourselves) #VGM episode is live, just in time for Christmas! Joined once again by @AuraPaladin, sit down in a comfy chair and enjoy music that makes waiting enjoyable!

Perhaps late to the party - but I’m now here! #Switch2

I remember when this game was randomly really prolific on Australian eBay when searching for GBA games about 10 years ago.

Perhaps I say this often - but this is was a joy to record and is definitely one of my favourite episodes! I might suck at #shmups, but I sure love talking about them!

[Blowing Cartridges @Blowcartpod]

We had the pleasure of being joined by Sanatana Mishra of @witchbeamgames to discuss all things shoot ‘em ups/shmups! Tune in to hear a wide ranging discussion, insights into the development of Assault Android Cactus to unpacking the genre as a whole!

@infernal_monkey Classic Japanese Spitz behaviour

[Tam @Tamazoid]

Loved how it captures the best of 16 bit shmups (which I guess is naturally given its developer pedigree and the fact it was developed for mega drive hardware). A strong entry in a genre with a rich heritage (and many legendary entries)

[Tam @Tamazoid]

Earthion has been conquered* [on the easiest difficulty…]

[Tam @Tamazoid]

@ColdNightsGami1 I still remember freaking out when I first saw her assist trophy in Smash

[Tam @Tamazoid]

Well here we go again… #FireEmblem

[Tam @Tamazoid]

@ColdNightsGami1 Blazing Blade is the ultimate comfort game for me. While there’s plenty of entries in the series that do individual elements better than it, I do still think it’s the best overall package.

[Tam @Tamazoid]

@broodwars64 Interesting. It’s funny - I tried playing the original game immediately after completing Ty the Tasmanian Tiger (which I found a lot easier to get into).

[Tam @Tamazoid]

@ColdNightsGami1 I’m in the camp that thinks it has some of the best maps and gameplay mechanics of the series. I still prefer the pre-Awakening artsyle and the narrative/writing of those older games.
