A laptop filled episode of Mario's Minute this month! The first one being a throwback to nearly ten years ago when Asus required me to get a diagnosis on my old laptop from Best Buy's Geek Squad, to which they blamed a WiFi board defect on... GoogleUpdate.exe? I also share some more adventures in the world of laptop upgrades, as I worked on a laptop upgrade and another laptop revival for my girlfriend. Some potential wedding crashers get reported on, as well as the routine sharing of a game store story and which games I've been playing recently.

Talking with Dr_Boomhauer, friend of the show, for this month's episode of Mario's Minute! We talk about our background over how we know each other, as well as his Xbox hardware collecting tendencies. We also talk quite a bit about games this episode with the recent GoldenEye 007 announcements, the HUGE Grand Theft Auto VI leak, and Sony increasing the price of the PS5 across multiple territories.

Games, games, and games for this episode of Mario's Minute! Before I recorded this episode, I got annoyed with selling some games on eBay and figured... Why not bring it up on the podcast and air my annoyances about it here? I also finally got my Steam Deck and share my initial thoughts, feelings, and experiences with it all. A bunch of games were played on it recently, which I talked a bit about as I do every month. Finally I also share some stories from my days of working at a local video game shop.

Jason of GameRaveTV joins in to talk about a bit of everything old and new in this guest episode of Mario's Minute! We talk a whole lot about the original PlayStation, our experiences working at game shops, and shine a bit of light on the process of unearthing a hidden demo of DOOM back in 2020.

Coming back for a solo episode of Mario's Minute after overcoming a dreaded illness, to delving back into the gaming deep-end by running through all of the Max Payne games for the first time in a decade! I also might have accidentally picked up a new sickness, that being an addiction to Game Boy mods and upgrades! I also share some scratchy game shop stories and share the rest of the games I've been playing.

This time around we have special guest Badger Goodger on for his first ever podcast appearance! We sat down for an extra long episode here as the conversation kept flowing, most of it related to games published by Rockstar Games that Badger Goodger is known for in the community. The validity of some past Rockstar related leaks is discussed as well as multiplayer games we enjoyed, the definitively botched GTA Trilogy remasters, streaming pains, and much more!

A whole lot of gaming goodness this month! Starting off shouting out and talking about ConsoleMods.org which is shaping up to be one of the best written resources for console modding documentation. Sony has started a Game Preservation Team which I discuss my thoughts on, and immediately follow that up with Sega delisting classic Sonic games to make way for Sonic Origins. Microscope talk is a bit of a thing here this month, as well as a couple stories about crusty consoles. -------------------- Sources Cited: Sony's Game Preservation Team:https://www.engadget.com/sony-playstation-game-preservation-team-143059442.html Classic Sonic Games Delisted:https://www.theverge.com/2022/4/26/23043398/sega-pulls-classic-sonic-the-hedgehog-games-digital-stores-origins Crusty Consoles Are Not Good:https://kotaku.com/playstation-bomb-scare-robot-squad-logan-international-1848809841

KawlunDram from Soruce Gaming joins in for this month's episode of Mario's Minute! Over the course of a couple hours we talk about everything from chicken wings and hot sauce to rants in the world of tech and video games. A lot of what we discuss here is related to gaming, but we also get to talking about sicknesses we picked up (not that one) and a good amount of pet talk. Tune in and enjoy!

A gaming, tech, and rant filled episode for this month's episode of Mario's Minute! After talking a bit about the history of Mario's Minute, I rant about the TV issue that's been slowly plaguing my eyes for almost three years. The recent announcement of the 3DS & Wii U eShops being discontinued is also discussed here. Game install sizes for ninth generation consoles are FINALLY significantly decreasing, and with games being discussed I figured I'd return with a game store story.

A new year, so let's start out with a first for Mario's Minute: The first return guest! FrameRater comes back onto Mario's Minute as we catch up with him after a couple of breaks and a ton of awesome life developments. We talk about an upcoming Serious Sam release, review consoles, taking much needed breaks, and the recent Activision Blizzard acquisition by Microsoft.
