Lots of new faces around here, so hello! I'm Prof. Rock, a teacher of 20+ years and a lifelong gamer. I love Nintendo, retro games, and exploring how gaming and education connect. I also write about it all on at The Learning Arcade. Glad you're here! https://t.co/aRv6hpvd4g

@Nintendeal Zero..... sadly 😥

With everything going on with NVIDIA's CEO right now, YouTube really decided THIS was the perfect time to recommend me a video featuring Jensen Huang.

YouTube's algorithm has a sense of humor.

I've officially started saving up for Zelda: Ocarina of Time!
Any money I find goes into my Ocarina fund. A quarter on the floor? Mine. A dollar in the laundry? Also mine.
I'm at $15 of my $70 goal. I want the physical version so I can eventually pass it on to someone else.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time sold over 5.2 million copies in the first 4 days of release.

We could never truly leave each other, even if we tried.

@Nintendeal I will only gift when you tell us a game is on sale!

[Prof. Rock 📚🎮 @profrockpr]

So yeah, I bought Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but I'm still playing Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot. I need to organize my gaming time!

The plan: finish the Cell Saga, take a break from Kakarot, and jump into Rebirth. That way, I'll still have plenty of Kakarot to enjoy when I return!

[Prof. Rock 📚🎮 @profrockpr]

Everyone out here playing Zelda... meanwhile me starting FF7 Rebirth.

[Prof. Rock 📚🎮 @profrockpr]

Ended up deleting my joke, since Nintendo did fix the vulnerabilities for Switch 2.

[Prof. Rock 📚🎮 @profrockpr]

@Caffeine305 I agree... Most of my post are wishful thinking 😅

[Prof. Rock 📚🎮 @profrockpr]

Here's an idea, Nintendo. Why not let us play NES , SNES, GBA, & N64 Classics directly through the Nintendo Switch App on our phones? We're already paying for Nintendo Switch Online. Imagine playing these games anywhere without carrying a Switch. Would you use this? #Nintendo

[Prof. Rock 📚🎮 @profrockpr]

@BobWulff Wait... Thats not how you met @smoldogmom ?

I'm done with the world! Nothing is real!

[Prof. Rock 📚🎮 @profrockpr]

@RetroChad02 Congrats! I'm only 822 followers a way to reach you. 🫠

[Prof. Rock 📚🎮 @profrockpr]

This is what I need to watch every morning when I'm off to work.

I think about this moment a lot ✨

[Prof. Rock 📚🎮 @profrockpr]

@NintyPrime I think the comment is not Real Zelda, but instead returning to a more Traditional Zelda style of game. Anyways I loved BOTW and TOTK. I was actually never good at traditional Zelda.

[Prof. Rock 📚🎮 @profrockpr]

@gamemove It's been 1 year with them. Mine is fine, I have no idea what happened here. Once he is back from grandma's house we have a serious conversation planned.

[Prof. Rock 📚🎮 @profrockpr]

I asked my son why he hadn't been playing his Switch 2 lately. "Oh, everything's fine."
Today, I went to grab it to send to his grandma's house and discovered THIS.

Apparently, we have very different definitions of "everything's fine."

[Prof. Rock 📚🎮 @profrockpr]

@YOTDGaming That's was exactly my reaction!

[ProfNoctis @ProfNoctis]

Main theme of FF7, as performed by my favorites.

[Prof. Rock 📚🎮 @profrockpr]

@YOTDGaming @Roku They want us to use Roku City instead. Also The fish tank only works on RokuTV not Roku Players. I guess they just want to streamline things.

[Prof. Rock 📚🎮 @profrockpr]

My wife told me we were losing our @Roku fish tank screensaver, and I was like, “What are you talking about?”

Then this message pops up.

Come on, Roku! I've had these fish for YEARS. I like my fish! They're relaxing, easy to watch, and I don't even have to feed them! #SaveFish

[Prof. Rock 📚🎮 @profrockpr]

@Stealth40k We just need to ask Nintendo nicely. https://t.co/HBnupAkzwS

[Prof. Rock 📚🎮 @profrockpr]

After seeing the Star Fox 64 remake and now the Ocarina of Time remake, I think it's safe to say, @Nintendo , you have everyone's approval to give us a Super Mario 64 remake.
