Pocket Trains: Status Update 2

It's been two weeks since my last post about Pocket Trains, retroactively Status Update 1 I guess, and so here is the current state of my network now! A lot has happened these two weeks, so maybe next update will be a week from now instead. I am

Pictured above is a photo from a screen recording I took on December 2021. At this point Pocket Planes had not received an update since February 2017, and wouldn't for about five months after I took that video. I don't remember why exactly I took that

My Strange Obsession With (Mobile) Game Trailers

I've been in a bit of a NimbleBit Games phase again, as I mentioned a while ago I've been playing quite a bit of Pocket Trains recently. I've been dabbling a little bit with Tiny Tower Classic as well, and I recently finished a

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I Also Like The Soldier

I just wanna add a small addendum to what I talked about a few days ago of The Engineer being my favourite TF2 class. Although I do really like the Engineer and is probably my over-all favourite, I have to say that it is in part because I am mostly

Getting Into Pocket Trains

One of my favourite mobile game developers of all time is a studio called NimbleBit! They created a bunch of mobile games back in the early 2010s that I really love, and they were specifically most famous for their simulator games. To be specific, their biggest games were Tiny Tower

My Current Favourite TF2 Class

As I mentioned a while ago, I finally started playing Team Fortress 2, which I've been meaning to for years. I am kind of shy of playing multiplayer games so I still have only played bot matches, however I have played them a lot, and at this point

A Game And a Half (-Life)'s Anniversary

Today is the anniversary of a game that is very special to me! Today is also the anniversary of a small DLC level for another game that's just as special to me (the game that is, not just the particular level), and so I wanna talk about them

Karl's Surfing Fumbles

For a few months now I have been trying to get into surfing in Counter-Strike: Source. Trying being the operative word. In CS: Source (amongst other games) one of the most famous community modes is called surfing, a parkour-like mode where you use slopes that make you gain momentum and

For a few months now I've been really into trying out self-imposed challenges on video games, but for some reason I've been particularly interested in self-imposed challenges in mobile games, perhaps since I haven't really seen them that often. One of the challenges I&

Acid Reflex

Here is a fun coincidence between two Valve games! The most common achievement in both Half-Life 2: Episode Two and Left 4 Dead 2 are both called "Acid Reflex"! I can't really think of any other achievements between Valve games that share a name like this

A PSA About Half-Life 1: Source

Hi guys. Yesterday I talked about a Half-Life reference in an old Minecraft achievement, and in that post I committed something terrible that I wish to apologize for… I used a screenshot from Half-Life: Source. Although Valve themselves have done everything in their power to hide this version of Half-Life

Did Minecraft Once Reference Half-Life?

Today I was binge watching Yahtzee and Gabe's Let's Drown Out videos, and specifically their series on Half-Life: Source, and while watching I got reminded of something very silly that used to be in Minecraft, which might actually be a reference to the game. There'

What's Inside The Orange Box

Today is October 10, 2025! Meaning that The Orange Box turns 18 years old today, hooray!!! Technically, The Orange Box is my favourite video game of all time, as it features my favourite game of all time, Portal! And it also premiered two other games which I also adore, Half-Life

More Birthday Thingies!

Yesterday was my birthday, and since I was in a cubing competition I mostly wrote about that, however I do wanna very quickly share some things I got that day and today! Firstly, in the competition I got a 2x2 Time Machine puzzle, which is a 2x2 that also has

Finally Trying Out Team Fortress 2

Although I haven't been able to continue playing as many new games as I'd like to, I have been looking for some games I could play more of simply to relax my mind a little! Fortunately, I noticed that a possible answer to both things has

Happy Spooky Month! And Resident Evil 4

Today is October 1st! Meaning that the spooky month is officially upon us!!! October is my favourite month of the year, and no I am absolutely not biased just because it's my birthmonth (okay, maybe I am a bit). It is a month I genuinely really like! It

ERB's 15th Anniversarish

15 years ago the first episode of Epic Rap Battles of History came out! Kind of. So the very first episode, John Lennon vs Bill O'Reilly, officially released on September 26, 2010, on Nice Peter's personal YouTube channel. Four days earlier, though, on September 22, Nice

In Six Triangles

Following my previous project of 25 Squares, Circles, and Stars, I recently had another one where I had to create three works of the same theme using the same type of shape the same number of times. I could either choose between triangles, perfect squares, and perfect circles, which I

25 Squares, 25 Circles, 25 Stars

For a project I had to cut out 25 squares, circles, and stars each, all of which had to be 2 inches in side length, diameter, and line-to-line respectively. And then we had to lay them out in a creative way! So here are each of the pieces! (Btw yes,
