    Digital Down-Low JINGLESTRAVAGANZA 2025: It knows when you're sleeping. It knows when you're awake, and it will not stop Jingling *EVER*.

    Well, the bells are getting Jinglier, the exchange rate on trading hair for watch chains is nearly at parity and haunted, underdone potatos are getting ready to reveal the wonders of temporal mechanics to loansharks. And that means the New Games pipe is frozen over and clogged up so it's the...

    Digital Down-Low for 12/05/2025: See you, Space Cowboys

    This holiday season, please try to avoid being bitten in half by a shark. So we've got a gigantic thread list this week, so let's put our best foot forward with one of the games I'm most jazzed for as a matter of course; Marvel: Cosmic Invasion, the follow up to Tributes earlier, exceptional...

    Digital Down-Low for 11/28/2025: Millennium Puzzle 2001

    Want to feel old? Look up what Wehoddababee Eetsaboy looks like now. So we're kicking things off with some SECRET SNEAKY releases from last week. One of which is really not in my wheelhouse, but it's worth pointing out for those whose wheelhouse it is! Winter Burrow is the perfect game for...

    Digital Down-Low for 11/21/2025: Nun Such Games

    Hot take, but I think that Ringo Starr is best known for his work with the musical group called The Beatles. So let's kick things off with the game that I'm least able to easily describe; Indika! It's a story heavy adventure game about a Nun in an industrial age Russian village and... umm... it...

    Digital Down-Low for 11/14/2025: Mixing it Up

    Do you think that Ozymandias the King of Kings was really just bragging about having the worlds most expensive foot fetish shrine? Going to open up a WHOLE CAN OF WHUP-ASS this week by playing catch up, since there was only one noteworthy game released last week, even if it was something I am...

    Digital Down-Low for 10/31/2025: Doest Thou *Like*-Like Me?

    OH, SKELL-O, Boils, Ghouls and Non-Boonary Creeple! It's your old pal ECTOpus SLIME here, and I'm DYING to tell you all about the DIE-lights of the EEK-Shop this week! We're kicking things off with a secret surprise release from last week, and a seasonally appropriate one, because what says...

    Digital Down-Low for 10/17/2025: Je veux être le meilleur, comme personne ne l'a jamais été

    Bit of a real theme to this weeks games... So we're kicking off this weeks festivities with a sneaky secret surprise drop from last week; Xenotilt: Hostile Pinball Action! and, believe it or not, it's a pinball game! Moreover, it MIGHT BE the game I'm most jazzed for this week. As the title...

    Digital Down-Low for 10/10/2025: The Gundamned

    Do Jack o'Lanterns count as undead creatures? So we've got an absolutely stacked cast this week, and we're kicking it off with nothing less than the first thing I saw listed; Dawnfolk, which has nothing at all to do with the critters-themed Dungeon and Draggler, Sunderfolk that came out earlier...
  9. Octopus Prime

    Digital Down-Low for 10/03/2025: Blame Yourself, or the Stars

    Why do the Power Rangers masks all have pouty lips built into them? They don’t kiss… Putting our best foot forward this week and starting off with what’s not only arguably the biggest release of the week, but is still considered one of the best games of its whole range genre; Final Fantasy...

    Digital Down-Low for 09/27/2025: Heck As Well

    What better way to celebrate my Birthday Week than with a long awaited sequel to a beloved indie hit? Which makes... like... the third time that's happened this year. Which is to say this weeks, BIG DAWG release is, of course, Hades 2. Which, it turns out, is NOT being released the same day as...

    Digital Down-Low for 09/19/2025: Sticks and Stones Can't Break my Bones, but Words will Grievously Harm Me

    I don't know if there's enough publicly known Randy Savages to warrant needing to specify that this one is "The Macho Man" So there was a Nintendo Direct last week, and, as usual, that means there was some shadow drops, and the first of those was Storm Lancers, which appears to be a Dead Cells...
  12. Octopus Prime

    Digital Down-Low for 09/12/2025: Cats Off to You

    The problem with White Lotus is that they don't ever really focus on the people having a nice time on their vacation at the resort. So let's kick off with something that got a but buried in the smorgasbord of everything released last week, and given the really generic cover art they went with...

    Digital Down-Low for 09/05/2025: A Bugs Strife

    Originally this thread would have been much longer, but the surprise release of an apex predator of indie-games kind of scared a lot of them off. And there's no sense beating around the bush; the top dog this week is the long, long *long* awaited sequel to everyones favorite bugs-em-up Hollow...

    Digital Down-Low for 08/30/2025: Master the Principles of CQC

    Boy howdy, lots of stuff this time around. Good thing weeks with such a heavy concentration of Good Stuff don't come around very often, huh? So first we're going to look at the non- Switch release this week on the grounds that it fits well with an impending segue and also the thread title...

    Digital Down-Low for 08/22/2025: We're finally Ret-2-Go

    Good news for all you Tuesday fans; that's what today is! So we're kicking things off with something I'm provisionally jazzed for, as the premise sounds right up my alley but the screenshots all make it look like it's kind of janky; City of Springs! It's a Sneaky tactical robot-em-up where yer...
  16. Octopus Prime

    Digital Down-Low for 08/15/2025: The Nintendo We Have At Home

    I'll just say what we're all thinking; if someone actually responded to a question the way that Jeopardy poses its answers, you'd think they were an asshole So we're kicking off this week with one of those games that's a neat idea that I want to encourage but doesn't look to be anything I'd...
  17. Octopus Prime

    Digital Down-Low for 08/08/2025: Be Faster or a Core-Blaster

    Perhaps I could interest you in a video? So we're going to go ahead and kick this weeks thread off with the game that is the least of a retro-throwback; Radiant: Guardians of Light! It is at least only a retro throwback in that it kind of reminds me of Young Souls, and that came out a few years...
  18. Octopus Prime

    Digital DOwn-Low for 08/01/2025: Sleepytime Bloodrage

    These videos are looking GAMEY! So we're kicking things off this week with something genuinely surprising and that I, personally, would be excited about in another context; Mado Monogatari: Fia and the Wondrous Academy, which I believe is the first Mado Monogatori game since, like... 1991 and...
  19. Octopus Prime

    Digital Down-Low for 07/25/2025: Reminded of the Violence of a Thousand Wildin' Hearts

    Wow, say what you will about the deodorant companies but they're right; this stuff smells *exactly* like sports. So we're kicking off with nothing less than the first game listed in the eShop "Coming Soon" tab; Hatsune Miku Logic Paint S+! It's a picross game starring everyones favorite CG pop...
  20. Octopus Prime

    Digital Down-Low for 07/18/2025: Rise and Fall, Rage and Ape

    I believe this marks the further point on the calendar year where we have to worry about Frosty the Snowman. Let's celebrate with some video games! So let's begin with one of the oldest rivalries in the medium; the original console wars with two of the very first mascot characters were created...
