    Mario's Minute 104 - Doomscroll Free Days and Happily, Healthily Gaming

    In a world full of scrolling, I'm stopping! Well, at least taking a day here and there to stop doing so. In this episode I talk about planned "Scroll Free Days" I've recently been exercising, and with that has come some pleasantly surprising health related bonuses tied to gaming! The thing that was destined to ruin our brains has been better to me than the information overload algorithm machines. Enjoy some chatter about anti-scrolling measures, more gaming, modding rants, and some new jailbreaking experiences! Please step over the DVDs on the floor, thank you.

    Mario's Minute 103 - Sony Hoped We Would Have Stopped Talking About PlayStation Discs by Now

    You know? I'm going to be honest, I knew Sony already knew going in that announcing PlayStation disc production ending wouldn't go over well, but I don't think they expected people would STILL be talking about this in droves even a month later. So why not join back into the conversation? I've still got stuff to say, and new examples! You will own nothing and like it! Oh, also, while I've got you here... Would you happen to know where my friend's house is? My phone died.

    Mario's Minute 102 - Cloud Versions in Gaming are a Thunderstorm of Failure

    In this episode of "You Will Own Nothing and Like It" I discuss my thoughts around the Kingdom Hearts games releasing natively on Switch 2! Oh, but what about those Cloud Versions of Kingdom Hearts that released on Switch? Gone, gone, just gone, but the paid testers get 50% off the Switch 2 releases! I also discuss the observations I've seen with more people going physical with the Switch 2 and why that might be. Keep listening for a game store story and more!

    Mario's Minute 101 - Mixtape is as Good as Forza Horizon 6?

    Mostly a single topic episode here, talking about reactions as well as my thoughts to the recently released game Mixtape. This indie game dropped to incredibly high accolades, with the most notable one being IGN's 10/10 review of it. The same month as Forza Horizon 6 releasing, which also got 10/10 ratings across the board, including from IGN! Is the game that good? Is the review system broken? Well... I guess we have a lot to discuss here about it!

    Mario's Minute 100 - We made it to 100 episodes! Let's talk about this podcast's origins.

    We're going meta for this episode of Mario's Minute! No, not Meta, I mean meta. I didn't ever think we'd get to 100 episodes, not even anywhere close, but here we are! That alone is worth talking about, so that's a large chunk of this episode. This also features a baby squirrel, performative gaming, an alcohol infused game store story, and lots of Grand Theft Auto III.

    Mario's Minute 099 - Discussing the Easiest Consoles to Mod

    A bit of a soloish topic episode for a solo episode of Mario's Minute, with a vast majority of this one being my thoughts over the easiest and most accessible systems to mod. If you've wondered where my rankings might be, why I consider them in what order, or might be looking for some recommendations then this might be the discussion to tune-in for! Oh yeah, we also had to get a bit of a dramatic game store story in here as well.

    Mario's Minute 096 - You Will Own Nothing and Like It

    For the final episode of Mario's Minute for 2025, we discuss what's been happening in the world of tech that has been and will continue to impact our real world. Increasing RAM prices leading to RAM shortages, expensive computing power, and more people realizing how we consume our media isn't quite as good as what we had before. Don't worry, there's some positive and funny stuff in here as well, so tune in for a bit of game talk and White Elephant experiences.

Oh, you all also get some game store stories this time around, sorry for missing that last time.

    Mario's Minute 089 - Photo Story, Buying Items for Life, and the Power of Email

    A sick solo episode here of Mario's Minute because, well... I'm a bit sick! Healing is happening, as are the topics of this episode! I have a story about Photo Story to share, a possible recommendation for a BIFL product, and a lesson in the power of email. Oh, also a couple of game shop stories.

    Mario's Minute 087 - Bad Update is Good, but I Can't Say the Same for Pre-Built PCs

    Another solo episode of Mario's Minute, this time around discussing the excitement of covering Bad Update for the Xbox 360, fixing up a mishap on a friend's pre-built PC, and discussing the games I've recently been playing. Not at all related to Bad Update, but I've mostly been on the Xbox 360 here recently!
