A bit of a shorter solo episode this month, but mostly gaming related! Talking about some personal StreetPass memories at the thought of it being over 13 years old, a dog story related to a bowl of stolen salmon, and uncovering an old story that I thought back to related to a game store employee trying to downplay a remake of Final Fantasy VII.
Going solo for this episode of Mario's Minute in which I talk about Funimation's fold into Crunchyroll removing "forever" digital copies of content that people own, winning a case on eBay as a seller, and theorizing whether or not the new PlayStation and Xbox consoles should have been delayed by a year.
Gather round, friends! For its time for yet another episode of MARIO'S MINUTE, this time with ModzvilleUSA as a return guest! We talk about loud Dreamcast noises, the ideal dog:human ratio in a household, Game Dude, the Mig Switch flashcart, and get a healthy amount of pizza talk in.
For 2023's final episode of Mario's Minute, we're talking about old mods, new mods, new content removals, and false antivirus accusations! Talking a bit about getting PMEX set up for my younger brothers, the entire process of importing Minecraft worlds into Minecraft Bedrock, Discovery content being removed from PlayStation platforms, and finally the personal offense I took to being accused of installing McAfee on a clean Windows machine!
Joining up for this year's final guest on Mario's Minute is NickMoses05, a fellow content creator who has been in the world of modding for a while now! We've both followed each other's content for several years at this point and finally got to link up for an episode discussing everything from travel, food, GERMS, phone addiction, and an exclusive story told by Nick about how he damaged his childhood NES.
Talking about everything from beefing over a fat cat, to Mortal Kombat 1 on Switch, the PS5 Slim announcement, and regrets selling old game consoles. Pepper in some old game store stories and we've got ourselves another solo episode of Mario's Minute! Hope you all enjoy.
Over five years of Mario's Minute episodes, but over ten years of Grand Theft Auto V! We talk about that a bit on this solo episode, alongside a leak of a digital only Xbox Series X refresh model, my first soldering experiences up to my first successful one, and some game store stories all centered around one particular individual.
Joined up this month with returning guest KawlunDram! Talking about the re-release of Red Dead Redemption, the remaster of Quake 2, and the PlayStation Portal being the Wii U Gamepad for the PS5. We've also got some headphone talk, media server discussion, and talk about the games we're currently playing in this densely packed episode of Mario's Minute.
Another solo episode this month, but here to talk about the Call of Duty games (and more!) being fixed up on the Xbox 360, which was a surprise to many. Some stories involving anime, trash, toilet paper, and shared high school WiFi. Finally, talking about games I've played recently including a rant about how bad Turok (2008) was.
A solo episode for this month's Mario's Minute covering comments, cleaner, and a massive digitizing project! First I talk about being noticed for Jet Moto 2 of all things, followed by a rant about staying far away from MX Cleaner due to the massive stink it generates. Industrial style soldering irons are discussed at length, to determine whether or not these are really needed for many console mods out there? Finally, I also talk about my ups and downs completing a multi-year long VHS digitizing project I wanted to tackle.
This month features the console modding Wiki master Derf joining us for a couple hours to chat! We talk about the Wiki projects he's worked on, the downfall of forum/message board culture, mixed in with a bit of preservation talk. We had to touch up quite bit on Xbox 360 modding talk, and also talked about our preferences for retro gaming depending on consoles, displays, and some emulation!
Going solo again for this episode of Mario's Minute, getting into a bit of everything here! Starting with a bit of religious NES modding, and getting to my E3 thoughts a bit late asking if E3 is really needed these days? Some restaurant talk, game store stories, and current games being played!
Going solo for this episode of Mario's Minute! Talking a bit about the warm reaction I had on my one-off DKOldies video, a recent error(?) surrounding the Xbox 360's digital storefront closing, and the Game Boy family finally arriving on Nintendo Switch Online! As always on these solo episodes, finishing off with some game store stories as well.
For this guest episode of Mario's Minute, we welcome f4mi on the show for a nearly three hour podcast! We talk about a range of topic from the rise of modern day social media, to LeafyisHere, to the rapid growth of AI, and a whole lot of Famiclone talk.
First episode of 2023! For this episode I do a bit of a retrospective with Mario's Minute now being over five years old. I also do a bit of a state of things on the channel, and I spend a good chunk of time talking about console modding. A troubleshooting story with an odd culprit, as well as what I believe seems to separate some of the best and worst customers.
To finish out 2022 I brought on ModzvilleUSA for his first ever guest appearance on a podcast! We spent almost three hours talking about the ModzvilleUSA origin story, and of course PLENTY of modding. Lots of Xbox 360 RGH talk, experiences with the original Xbox, the art of PS2 installs, Famicom Disk System games, and much more!
A solo but festive episode of Mario's Minute for the Thanksgiving season! I talk a bit about Thanksgiving, Friendsgiving, Black Friday, and the overall holiday season here. A bit of a run-in with a Karen at the local Post Office. Also, more game store stories from my days of working at a game shop!
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.

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.
Final episode of the year! Here I talk a bit more about the excitement of the 9.00 jailbreak being released for PS4. I also ended up picking up a new Xbox, this one being the Series S, so I give my thoughts on using it so far. Some talk about Halo Infinite and finally blowing off some steam about preordering game consoles with the Analogue Pocket being discussed.
Two Xbox 360 modding extraordinaire guests in a row?! This time around we have Octal joining us, an important figurehead in the Xbox 360 modding scene who has pushed RGH related developments forward in massive ways the last few years. We talk about what got him into electronics repair, the recent Right to Repair legislation, RGH3, backwards compatibility on Xbox One/Series, and more!
Back again for a solo episode of Mario's Minute this spooky month! I rant a bit about a terrifying sight I saw at a game shop: scalped PS5 consoles in a forced bundle! Kingdom Hearts coming to Switch is discussed, but it isn't as nice as many would expect. Some travel plans from this past month are discussed, a bit of the Switch scene, and my thoughts on the upcoming Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy release.
