Mario's Minute

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.

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.

Game developer studios closing, everything is an Xbox, good decisions from bad data turning into bad decisions, fake expert posturing, and some game store stories all on this month's episode of Mario's Minute! Hang out, tune in, and have some fun.

New year, new episode of Mario's Minute to kick off 2026! I talk a bit about my misadventures in MacBook repair, a questionable trend I'm seeing in people forgetting to provide required information with troubleshooting, and a whole lot of spooky video game talk. Oh, and get ready for some Modern Warfare 2 (2009) game shop stories.

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.
